Grapes are one of the seven biblical species of the Land of Israel and teach us a vital life lesson. Just like grapes must be totally crushed in order to produce quality wine, it is through our trials and tribulations that we can reach our highest potential. In today's verse, Ezekiel prophesied that the inhabitants of Jerusalem would be destroyed just as a vine that no longer produces grapes is burned for fuel. The message of the grape, however, is that the pain and anguish will eventually bring out the best in them, and inspire them to return to the Almighty. Time and again, Israel's enemies rise up to destroy, yet the Jewish nation attaches itself more deeply to the Land with renewed faith. Now is the time to plant roots in the Holy Land and come closer to the Almighty.

I am enjoying being a part of Israel365 even if from far away. As a Christian I know the roots of my belief are Israel and her people. To be a part of what God has declared "God blesses those who bless Israel' is an honor and a true blessing. Israel is and always has been an amazing land filled with amazing people who have endured much. You are forever in my heart and my prayers. Shalom! Julie Hockema from London, England
