They Thought For Themselves

RIDDLE
“Who was it that ascended into heaven, and came down again? Who gathered the wind in his fists? Who bound the waters in a garment? Who set up all the ends of the earth? What is his name [obviously this is God], and what is his son’s name, if thou knowest it?” (Proverbs 30:4 in the Jewish Scriptures, emphasis added).

Two thousand years have come and gone, but the question remains the same: Is Jesus of Nazareth the Jewish Messiah, the Savior of the world? If He is, then let's follow Him, for we have no other way. If He's not, let's expose Him, for only the truth will set us free.

Although the world is full of religions, the controversy surrounding the Messiahship of Jesus is unique, because both those who accept Jesus and those who reject Him base their beliefs on one and the same Book. Jews who follow Jesus say: "He must be the Messiah. He fulfilled all the prophecies of the Bible." Jews who don't follow Jesus say: "He can't be the Messiah. He fulfilled none of the prophecies of the Bible."

Israel is on the Rise
In June 2009 Israel was officially upgraded from an "emerging" to a "developed" economy (highest rank), with a standard of living comparable to many European countries. The Israel Shekel is now one of the world's most stable currencies, fully tradeable on international exchanges. Israel is a hi-tech superpower, ranked by some as #2 in the world. Israel's military was recently ranked as #3 in the world in "combat strength." At 60-plus years old, Israel has the largest Jewish population in the world, with more than one third of the world's Jews now living there.

HOW would you like to have five minutes of intimate dialogue with God?

What questions might you ask Him? Why do you allow cancer? Why do you allow war? Why don’t you put an end to starvation? Why did you allow the Holocaust to occur? What happens when we die? Why are some people wealthy while others are poor?

Did you know that many of the questions you might ask God have already been answered…in the Bible?
