The "Cigarbox Collection" Part 3 -- the Arabs of Palestine, and a Clarification
Among the photographs we received in the "Cigarbox Collection"
are several pictures of Arab life in Palestine approximately 100 years ago.
Days before our formal "opening" of the collection,
we continue to provide previews.
 |
| An Arab street in Haifa, ironically called "al Yahud" (the Jews) street, according to a note on the picture's back (c 1920) |
 |
| The village of Kalkilya. Enlarging the photo shows a woman with a jug on her head, suggesting the structure is a well |
 |
| A Bedouin family near the Hula Lake. Homes were made from reeds. The lake was partially drained in the late 1800s. Later Jewish efforts drained the malarial swamps. (circa 1920) |
Today's pictures come from the Arab
communities in Kalkilya, Haifa and the Hula Valley.
 |
| Mishmar Ha'emek from the 1920s (Keren Hayesod) |
Clarification
We previously posted this picture from the Cigarbox Collection.
Some of the pictures, such as this one, bear a stamp on the
back saying "Photo Keren Hayesod." The Central Zionist Archives
contains some 50,000 pictures from the organization which was
established in 1920.
We discovered this picture in the Harvard Library files, but it was
dated "1948-1946." We suggest that the photograph, part of other
pictures in the Cigarbox Collection, was taken in 1926, soon after
Mishmar Ha'emek's establishment.

Ahava Love Letter (#50) - “Come & Behold Him”
“Come & Behold Him”
"I see
him, but not now; I behold him, but not near;
a star shall come forth from
Jacob, a scepter shall
rise from
Israel, and shall crush through the
forehead of Moab, and tear down all the sons of Sheth.”
(Num. 24:17 NASB)
|
Dear
family of friends,
It
must have been around 2 a.m. that Friday night, way back in 1998, at least fifteen
years ago.
Our worship team, gathered again for The Watch of The Lord in
Charlotte, NC, at All Nations Church (then meeting at Westinghouse Blvd. and
Granite Street), had just finished playing a full four hours of non-stop
worship songs.
Mahesh
and Bonnie Chavda, along with several dedicated, rotating worship and prayer
teams, loved meeting with the Lord Yeshua (Jesus) and Ruach HaKodesh, His Holy
Spirit. He came each time.
We
had been “doing” The Watch since 1994, meeting every Friday from 10 p.m. to 6
a.m., with full praise and worship times (I mean hours!), praying for all needs, our
nation and Israel, laying hands on the gathered sick, sharing communion, and
maybe getting a wink or two on the two inch pads of green, yet cold steel,
church chairs.
We
loved it. We had become addicted to His Presence.
But
there was something special about this moment, 2 a.m. that morning. I could “hear”
the silence in the room after we had stopped singing. And then waited.
John
O’Leary, back at the 24 channel sound board, put in a CD, as routine. (Sometimes
people get nervous when they aren’t being stimulated by surrounding noise, or
movement. So we start “doing” something. Afraid He will speak to us?)
The
song that played was very familiar to me. Being a foundational subscriber to
Integrity’s “Hosanna! Music”, since its monthly cassette inception in 1984 (and
always wearing out every tape), was John Chisum’s “Come and Behold Him.”
Vicky Rose, a beautiful, full of grace and humility worship dancer, got up in the far
southwest corner, in front of our “Western
Wall”. It had been mounted on the room's wall, constructed of strong cardboard and painted with brown and gray rocks and crevices, modeled after The Kotel in
Jerusalem.
She started swirling around in her white, full length dress, arms uplifted in praise and admiration to our Lord, her face beaming with emotional gratitude.
I
looked over. My heart leaped. Tears started coming to my eyes. His Presence was
filling my entire being with tenderness, mercy, grace, goodness, love and
compassion. I was overwhelmed with Him too.
After
three minutes, the song finished. Vicky quietly sat down.
I also took a seat, after walking off the platform, and continuing to experience a moment in the Lord’s
arms that I will never forget. I was beholding Him. In some of His glory.
My
friends, those days are coming back. We are going to come into His Manifested
Presence and behold Him. All else around us will be as nothing, as we see Him
for Who He is – Our Father, our Lover, our Redeemer and Comforter.
And
we will also know Him as the Roaring Lion of Judah, the King of kings and the Lord
of lords, the Mighty One of Israel, Who will conquer all fear, discouragement, despair,
injustice, even while just holding us in His arms.
“Come
and behold Him, come see His glory, come with an honest heart to see all He is.
We
will discover all of His beauty. His light will burn away all the darkness we’ve
known.
Come
and behold Him. Come see His mercy. Come find His tenderness reaching to you.
Just
as a mirror shows our reflection His Word and Spirit come now reflecting His
love.”
Come
Lord Yeshua. Maranatha! Come!
Ahava
to my family of friends,
Steve

Come and behold Him
Come see His glory
Come with an honest heart
To see all He is.

All the darkness we’ve known.

Come and behold Him,
Come and behold Him.
Come with an honest heart
See all He is.
Come and behold Him
Lay down before Him.
Come with an honest heart
See all He is.

Come and behold Him.
Come see His mercy
Come find His tenderness
Reaching to you.

Shows our reflection
His Word and Spirit come
Now reflecting His love.
