Is It Time?

Wow when pastor Goodwin was trapped with 18 people in Israel it brought back memories of when I was a part of Redwood Gospel Assembly and we had 18 people like they did and where trapped in Haiti in 1989. The army had taken over the airport and would not let people fly out. We had to stay on the Island for 10 more days more than planned. God took care of us just like he took care of brother Goodwin’s party. Glad they are safe and back home in their warm beds.

I know the feeling and never want to experience being trapped like that again. I know worst times are coming like prophesied in God’s word. My friend was supposed to bring a group of people to Israel the day after they were bombed. They could not take the trip be-cause of the bombings in Israel. It had to be a big let down yet they could of been trapped and got killed or anything could of happened.

God had mercy on them and kept them from being trapped also. The church we fellowship with here in Newport Oregon, are sup-pose to go to Israel also and take a group of people with them. They are going to have to cancel, their trip also. Unless the situation gets must better trips to the Holy land will be hard to come by. I don’t believe the situation will get better, it will get worse before it gets better.

It is a heavy time when we remember Israel is the time clock to the plan of God. I don’t think the USA will stand behind them and then comes to beginning of end. All we can do is hold on to Gods truth and trust and believe he is able. To lead us into the Bride of Christ. Paul said to die is to gain, so we must trust him and realize like he said for us to die serving him . With all our might and strength and hope we will be rewarded and receive the crown of life.
