I don't think there is any doubt of my belief in, and my support for Israel. I've had strong feelings for that country since I was a young man. I have had a long time belief in what the bible said concerning how Israel was to be treated. But many people fail to grasp a fact so often overlooked and that fact is Israel and Jew are two different terms. The Jews are but one tribe of the twelve which made up Israel, and basically this one tribe makes up the current state of Israel. I believe the other tribes of Israel migrated over the Caucasus Mountain range and settled Europe while many made their way to America. I honestly believe if Americans could trace their lineage back to that time, many if not most all Americans, would find their heritage began within those twelve tribes.

My thoughts and concern for Israel is deeper than one who worries about one with similar beliefs, but more along the lines of a  family member. I think our faith stemming from the same book of God is not coincidental. In my thinking these facts will not change and make up the foundation of what I believe today. World events are tied  to what has been written, or vice-versa, and given to all people so they may read and know what to expect in the future. There are interpretations and there are interpretations. That statement holds true if a person takes it upon himself to do that interpreting rather than do what was meant and that is to just let what is written interpret itself in other verses. Thats what is supposed to be done

I suppose from the beginning of this blog I've known where it would lead eventually and that lead is trying to find what lies over the horizon which is in my own beliefs, in my heart. That task now lies in my ability to take the facts of everyday life and apply them through my beliefs, then transfer them into words and In the end I hope to better understand this day and time not only for myself but maybe even for others. Just an idea...
