Tension



As we have been traveling around Israel, I have noticed that there is tremendous tension between the Arab and Palestinian peoples. This was no new revelation, but the proximity in which this tension exists is astounding. There are places where Jews and Arabs live literally just a couple hundred yards from each other, but would never even think of going to the "other" part of town. This just shows that what the Bible says about the end times (all of the surrounding nations around Israel wanting to drive her into the sea) is true. Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. This is a city that desperately needs your prayers.

Here are some photos that hopefully give you a small taste of the tension that exists in this land. I have finally found a good way to post pictures, so there will be more of them coming!
