Dear Friends,
|
Here in Iraq was the
Garden of Eden. Here the history of salvation began with Abraham. Here prophecy
took place with Ezekiel. Here the greatest evangelist came in the miserable
Jonah. Here Daniel came and saw the glory of G-d. Here Jesus first appeared in the
fire with Meshach, Shadrach and Abednego, and then again in Daniel chapter 10
over the Tigris. In Ezekiel chapter 43 we see that the glory will come back to
Jerusalem from the East - where is the East?
Iraq
Why am I here?
I committed my life to
Israel and ended up in Iraq. I believe that G-d has sent me here because this
is where the world will end. It began here and I believe it will end here.
G-d's Glory will return to Jerusalem from here and the Lord Jesus will return
there. I believe Babylon is here and will be here. When the Bible mentions
places they are real, and I believe Babylon is the real Babylon, just 70 miles
from where I write this to you.
I have seen the glory of
G-d here like I have never seen it in Jerusalem. G-d's glory is here but it will
return to Jerusalem. We see angels all the time people are healed, raised from
the dead. It is so glorious and nobody knows. We are surrounded by wheels within
wheels, just as Ezekiel saw. We see them all the time and they even show up on
pictures.
Isa
19:23
23 In that
day there will be a highway from Egypt to Assyria. The Assyrians will go to
Egypt and the Egyptians to Assyria. The Egyptians and Assyrians will worship
together. 24 In that day Israel will be the third, along with Egypt and
Assyria, a blessing on the earth. 25 The LORD Almighty will bless them, saying,
"Blessed be Egypt my people, Assyria my handiwork, and Israel my
inheritance."
Assyria is of course
Iraq. As we say at the beginning of each service: Allah hu ma anna. "The Lord is here and his spirit is with."
On Good
Friday, we the followers of Jesus from around the world, go with Him to Jerusalem.
We go to watch him suffer and die. There He dies for us so that we may be free
and one with him.
We began on Thursday
night with a solemn service of the last supper. We stripped the altar and the
Church of all adornments. Many of our people stayed in church all night
praying. Here all the people are wearing black for today as a day of immense mourning.
From Thursday until Resurrection Day we all fast and then we will remember; we
are an Easter people and our song is Alleluia.
We did not work on Good
Friday or answer phones, so there could be no communication.
With every Blessing at
this Holy time,

Running the Race
|
A huge "thank you" to all of those who have been able to sponsor FRRME Director Peter Marsden's extreme feat of endurance.
He returned to his desk on Monday with a slight limp, but a huge grin, apt for his sense of achievement, after running three back to back marathons for FRRME last weekend.
If you feel compelled to give, your support is still very welcome.

Verse of the Week
Hebrews 12v2

"Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith,
who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame,
and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God."
