Dear President of Israel, Prime Minister of Israel, and the People of the Nation of Israel:
Words cannot describe the terrible event which took place recently in Israel regarding those three precious boys and especially the shock of when their dead bodies were found – their lives taken in such an inhumane way by those who hate God’s Chosen People the Jews. The Killers were called kidnappers, terrorist; they were alot more than that, they were devils, tools in the hands of a more sinister enemy of Israel – the Devil himself. Though the Devil meant it for evil, I know our gracious God who loves Israel with an everlasting love, will bring good out of this tragedy.
Some would say that is ludicrous, but a perfect example of such a lesson would be looking back at the Holocaust. That was, no doubt the greatest atrocity the Jewish people have yet endured; the Devil meant it for evil, but out of the ashes came forth the re-birth of the Nation of Israel. Another words, the death of our kin was not in vain. I also say the death of these three boys are just as precious as the death of those 6 million – they all died for the same reason, the same hatred. Their death will not be in vain! For one thing, I believe Israelis have re-united more now than ever, with greater resolve to band together as one in the triumphant victory over their enemies.
We mourn together and desire to convey our deepest sympathies to you all and especially to those dear grieving families who lost their love ones. Every lover of Israel is sincerely grieving and deeply sadden over this terrible atrocity.
I know that justice will prevail upon the wicked hands which orchestrated this, but most importantly we are reminded from the sacred Words of the Tanach the outcome of their evil deeds, because God will: Psalms 149:7 …execute vengeance upon the heathen; Isaiah 61:2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn; Deut 32:43 for he (God) will avenge the blood of his servants, and will render vengeance to his adversaries, and will be merciful unto his land (Israel), and to his people (the Jews). Psalms 94:1 O LORD God, to whom vengeance belongeth; O God, to whom vengeance belongeth, shew thyself.
We therefore stand firmly and solidly with Israel during this time of trials. Know assuredly that our great God, who is the God of all comfort, will help you draw closer to Him in such times of distress. King David said what time I’m afraid I will trust in the Lord. With such diabolical events occurring, we know the Messiah is coming back very soon.
Speaking for Bible Believing Baptist,
Most Affectionately Yours,
