Jerusalem March -- Sukkot 2015

Friday, Oct. 2, 2015 Jerusalem

On the same day (1 October 2015) in which Prime Minister Netanyahu made his 

excellent and impassioned speech before the United Nations (I hope most of you 

got to see it), more than ten thousand Christian Believers from approximately 

100 nations participated in the annual Sukkot Jerusalem March, declaring their 

solidarity with the Jewish people and the nation of Israel.

Cindi and I; our children Amy and Todd; our grandson Christian; Cindi's parents; 

Cindi's sister-in-law Vicki; and Cindi's cousin Robert -- have all participated in 

this march at one time or another in years past. It is an indescribable experience 

to realize that the Holy Spirit is moving upon the hearts of Believers all over the 

planet, and compelling them to physically come to the Land of Israel (HaEretz) 

and to say, by coming, "God is with you, and we are with you too, and praying

 for you." And just as every year before, the response of the Jewish people toward 

the Believers who come to bless them, is both powerful and overwhelmingly positive 

as you can see below.

This year we had the privilege of seeing the march from the vantage point of the 

Israelis -- standing on the sidelines and watching the parade pass by. It took two 

full hours for those 10,000 Believers to pass in front of us!! In many ways, this 

experience was more impacting on our hearts and spirits than being a part of 

the parade itself. I don't think Cindi and I had a dry eye for the full two hours!

The verse from the Song of Songs kept running through my mind as I watched 

the procession: "You are as beautiful as Jerusalem, and as majestic as an army 

with banners." (Song of Songs 6:4).

I will say no more, but I will simply let the photos below and the three short 

video clips, representing just a snippet of the two hour pageant, tell their own 

story. Oh how I wish each one of you could have been here to see it all!

The march begins, up the hill toward the center of Jerusalem.

"The LORD has made known His Salvation (Yeshua);

His righteousness He has revealed in the sight of all the nations."
