Had an experience today at work that, in my mind, was a microcosm of the state of the Laodicean church. Was speaking to a professing believer at the office. The topic came up of what our dream vacation would be. I said mine would be to be able to go to Israel. This professing believer then commented to the effect that they actually had recently been given the opportunity to vacation in 2020 in Israel, but they had opted to decline because they wanted to take their kids to Disneyland. Oy Vey Wow ... hands down I would have opted for the Israeli trip as well! I betcha hotel room and touring Jerusalem is far cheaper too than 1 day of stress and aggravation in waiting in long lines and emptying your pockets at Disneyland. The last time I was at Disneyland/Disneyworld, Knott’s Berry Farm, Hearst Castle ... everything was $12.00 a ticket ... Always a dream of mine as well. But as close as we are I guess I'll just wait for the perfected version. TR That would be my dream vacation as well (to Israël). My husband and I are planning to go in the next year. I wish I could join in with JD Farag or Amir Tsafarti. I certainly would prfer a guided tour with tying the past, present and future together. Many Christian ministries propose trips to Israel. Having a guide/teacher would be the way to go. Glad to hear from you Sis! TR Yeah that would be fun to be in a group guided tour of the Holy Land with Amir and J.D. My aunt used to go with various church groups even though she wasn’t a member of those churches. She just wanted to be with Christians while touring. One time, she got stuck with Benny Hinn in that tour - it might have been when she signed up with the Jonathan Cahn tour - she did make 4 separate Israeli trips - couldn’t get enough of sightseeing in Israel. Hinn kept interrupting the tour guide and everyone in the group was getting mad. A few spoke up and told him to be quiet because they sure didn’t pay to hear him. Not a peep came from him on the rest of the trip. Hee hee. I am divided —- my dream trip would be to Israel, but with Amir or JD, or pastor Hibbs, well it is on my bucket list but I’m with TR, it will probably be the New Jerusalem that visit annually as described in Revelation.. I m ok with that, bring it Lord Jesus, please.... :prayer-hands:
Makes me think of a song I used to play on Christian radio back in the mid 1980s, Living in Laodicea by Steve Camp. Keep the fire burning bright remnant believers!! Maranatha!!! Link follows.
