Dial Daily Bread

Dear Friends of "Dial Daily Bread":

While we in the West revel in our wealth, security, and fun purchased for us by the sacrifices of our forefathers, Middle Easteners suffer the bitterness of age-long hatreds.

 

These tensions go back beyond 2000 years, to Abraham himself. He had two sons, one born “of the flesh” the other born as “the child of promise.” The one of the flesh persecuted the one of the Spirit (Gal. 5:29). Abraham also had two wives, Sarah symbolizing the New Covenant, Hagar the Old.

 

To a great extent, modern Israelis do not embrace the truths of the New Covenant, and cannot claim, according to Galatians, to be Abraham’s spiritual descendants. Their political opponents, the Palestinians, are mostly Muslim; and they likewise do not embrace the same truths of Galatians.

 

Nevertheless, there is a God of heaven who loves them all as individuals; Jesus died the second death of them all (Heb. 2:9). He is pained to see them suffer. He must feel the misery of the Palestinians in Gaza in having their only power plant destroyed. Jesus said that He came to save us all: “I am come, that they [we all] night have life, and that [we] might have it more abundantly” (John 10:10).

 

He is not toying with the problem; little sporadic “evangelism” attempts here and there do not fulfill the Bible prophecy of “another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory” (Rev. 18:1). Christ’s love for all for whom He gave His blood will drive Him to send that “another angel.” He has also promised to send us “Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and terrible day of the Lord” (Mal. 4:5, 6).

 

These two, “Elijah” and the “other angel,” will work in perfect harmony, “turning hearts.” Can Muslim and Israeli hearts be “turned”? Well, can our “Christian” hearts be “turned”? Like those of divorcing church couples?
