amazing resemblance

One of my friends told me, she had a new email-address. I asked her,"send it to me." She said, she sent it to all the people on her list, including me. Well, I didn't receive it. "But you change so often your email-address, that must be the reason, you didn't get it." she said.
She was wrong. I told her that I have 2 email-addresses already for years now. Not changing all the time, not even in the past.
I am sending a lot of emails, but that's a different thing.
Many people say, the Bible has been translated so many times, so the Bible isn't reliable anymore.
They are wrong. The Bible has been translated in many languages, always straight from Hebrew and Greek. The Old Testament from Hebrew and the New Testament from Greek.
There are many different churches and dominations, but that's a different thing.

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.."
