I experienced something today that I cannot explain. It was quite profound and deeply moving. Today, the United States opened its embassy in Jerusalem, Israel. As one who is pervasively ignorant regarding world history, if anyone had asked me about the significance of that occasion, I might easily have dismissed it as “no big deal.” However, as I sat with my morning coffee to surf the latest Facebook offerings, I happened to scroll upon the live feed of this embassy dedication, and for reasons I cannot explain and do not understand, I was immediately mesmerized by what was taking place, and couldn’t have scrolled past it if my life hung in the balance. I became emotional and tears began to flow. Despite not truly having a firm handle on the significance of this event, I had a sense that whatever was about to take place was of monumental, historical, and spiritual significance. I felt I was witnessing something so huge, so important that my attention could not be diverted even for a split second. I remained riveted, intently listening to every word spoken by each person as dignitary after dignitary approached the dais for their chance to speak. I cried continuously throughout the pomp and circumstance. I am teary even now, as I recall this morning’s event. Never in my life have I witnessed history of such biblical significance. I believe only the hand of God could have touched my heart so profoundly for me to have experienced such deep emotion regarding the event. With my limited knowledge of the Bible, even I know that the Israelites have always been God’s chosen people. I am very grateful that the USA has aligned with Israel. If God is for us, none shall stand against us!
