Sukkoth in Jerusalem

This year 7,000 Zionist Christians from all over the world will once again march in Jerusalem to fulfill that which is written in the Book of Zechariah, whereby all nations will make pilgrimage to Jerusalem in the messianic era to celebrate Sukkot.
Their parade is the highlight of an ongoing effort to stand by our side for better or for worse, unconditionally and without receiving anything in return. On the contrary, they are grateful that we accept their outstretched hands.

Paulo Silva, a pastor from Brazil, said he came to Jerusalem to support Israel, and because of a biblical promise that those who come to Jerusalem will bring rain and prosperity to their home country. With 1,200 participants, Brazil had the largest contingent at the conference this year.
In the group from Holland were around 55 participants. I was moved by heart when we walked through the Jaffastreet of Jerusalem, hearing the people from Israel call to us: "Holland, Holland, halloooo! Thank you for coming! We shook hands and wished eachother "Shalom" ! I had many eye-contacts special with older people, but surprising also with young people around 20 years old. They all appeared to be sincere thankfull
There were 80.000 people together in the street: it reminded me to the book 'Hebrews' in the Bible, where is written: " Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses.."
