Heroes Past and Present
We had a full day, rising at 5:30 to finish packing and then to leave to drive to the North. We needed to be in our hotel in time for our first Wednesday Moed call at 4:00 pm.
On the way, we met one of the most amazing people I’ve ever met. Truly a man among millions. We were told we would go to his office. We parked. Then walked through an underground parking area. Then we were met at two very large doors and when we crossed the threshold, we stepped into another world. One I could never have imagined.
I am posting a video for you of our group walking down the red carpet between the rows of the car collection of Moshe Levy. Most of the cars have a story. Most are Rolls Royce machines. Each one with a story. One was the car of the Queen of England. One was the car of Jackie Onassis.
Updates in Israel from Guy Leibovitz
Seeing the Hand of God
I spoke with Guy Leibovitz, our Israeli guide just this morning.
The feelings in Israel after the events of the past few days—beginning with the pager, walkie-talkie and cell phone explosions, through the decapitation and virtual elimination of Hezbollah leadership—are like those just after the miraculous Six-Day War!
Migdal Arbel Building Update
Our Migdal Arbel Project in Israel is continuing despite the war! The parking area, which is also the foundation for the swimming pool,
is completed. We just received these pictures of the swimming pool being built.
Faith Becomes Sight!
Astonished! Pleasantly shocked! Downright flabbergasted! I cannot even begin to describe my emotions as we drove up and saw the BIG, HIGH buildings that are growing to be the Migdal Arbel Prayer and Study Center!

In the picture above, I am standing on a balcony in Building 2. In the background you can see Mount Arbel and the Sea of Galilee. I was in Israel in December. I had planned to take a tour and call it a “Hanukkah Tour.” The Bible calls Hanukkah the “Feast of Lights,” a festival which Jesus observed. We normally take two buses, at about forty-five per bus.

This blog is for me. Remember, I said the blogs would serve as my journal. So I feel free to express my personal feelings. My emotions are very much mixed today. I miss my family, colleagues, and friends. (We left home the end of November.) But I don’t really want to leave these people and this Land in such an hour as this.

The Lord used two mountains to drive home to the Jews the difference between blessings and cursings. Through Moses the Lord had differentiated between the two, especially in Deuteronomy 28. Then when Joshua and the people entered the land, they followed instructions given through Moses to plaster, write, and call out upon one mountain the blessings (Mount Gerizim). On the other they were to write and call out the cursings. (Mount Ebal). (See Deuteronomy 27; Joshua 8:33).

I didn’t sleep well last night anticipating today.
How would it feel to see, to touch, what has been a “call” for more than twenty years.
I don’t call it a dream. Because I can’t truly say it is my dream.
It is a “call.” Something the Lord called me to do. Something He prepared me for. Step by step. Providing amazing confirmations along the way. Comforting me. Urging me never to quit. And I would even venture to say, giving me “the gift of faith” for it.
Franklin Graham Prayer Request
We received this clarion call by Franklin Graham, President of Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and Samaritan’s Purse, to pray for our President Donald J. Trump on June 2, 2019:
