For Such A Time As This

In the Book of Esther we learn of the conspiracy to exterminate the Jews. Haman released his evil plan. But, Mordecai, God's prophet, believed that God would somehow save the Jewish nation, whether through Queen Esther or otherwise.

Esther 4:13 - Then Mordecai commanded to answer Esther, Think not with thyself that thou shalt escape in the king's house, more than all the Jews. 14 - For if thou altogether holdest thy peace at this time, then shall there enlargement and deliverance arise to the Jews from another place; but thou and thy father's house shall be destroyed: and who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this?

Are we witnessing the rise of modern Hamans? Israel is surrounded by those who seek her destruction. Is it not time to hear from a current Mordecai and Queen Esther?

President Bush is on his way to the Middle East to lobby for the lastest peace efforts. But, at the same time killer storms are marching across the mid section of the US.

Are these historic storms related to the pressure placed on Israel to give up land and divide Jerusalem for the hope of peace?

We should all just look up in a time such as this!

Looks like things are happening at a fast rate now. The Lord did not come back this past Sunday so we had church but maybe tomorrow will be the day.

Do you feel any of the Presidential candidates will have protecting Israel as a goal?

President Bush said today that he believes a treaty between Israel and the Palestinians would be drawn and signed before his term was up! Could the trib clock start this year?!!!
