Still Wrestling

Conclusion...Janie Cheaney 

     I don't understand such willful obtuseness. To me it says this is much more than a political struggle. It's a spiritual one bound up with the conundrum of Israel itself; a secular nation built upon divine covenants. 

     A people like no other, with a history as fraught and mystifying as their founder's wrestling match with the Lord. Israel wrestles still, with modern day Philistines. And with the Lord. 

     I have no settled opinions on the future of this tiny nation, only that it remains at the center of the world. 

     "Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!" (Psalm 122:6), and especially pray that they be reconciled with their Messiah before He returns.
