Hi from Jerusalem. Friday, the beautiful Fall days have returned. I had breakfast this morning out on the little patio that sits across from the Old Church. While there, I recognized the famous explorer Bob Canuke (google) and some of his fellow workers (the one from Alaska is a friend of John Stemburger of Florida Family Research). Bob then introduced me to an author friend of his, they are working on a book together. We talked about a couple of projects that he has going on (one causing a major controversy about the Temple, this was why he was here at Christ Church today). I prayed with him (“Umbrella” for the truth to be revealed). I was then invited to join them in the Heritage Centre to discuss with the director, a messianic Jew and an amazing historian, about theTemple Mount (really the entire Old City). I got to the meeting a little early and introduced myself to the director. To my amazement, he already knew of me (my guess, because of small talk with some of the staff, about the dig that I had been on). He said that he wanted to discuss the dig, the silver scrolls, and all that happened there. When the others came in (now it gets really crazy), HE then introduces me to them, and then says that HE is looking forward to MY insights! (Can you believe it?) What was EVEN crazier, I not only was asked to join in the conversation, I was able to bring some answers (and questions) to the discussion (I even offered one new possibility, that even the director had not thought of, and he thought I was correct), isn’t that a hoot. The Lord sure has a sense of humor (some “Divine Appts.,” aye)! I am still smiling. Tonight, I celebrated a Christian Shabbat (sabboth dinner) here with new friends. The director of the Heritage Centre and his wife actually hosted the 20 or so of us. Part of the ritual has the reading of the Priestly prayer from the Book of Numbers (the one that is on the two silver scrolls from the dig that I was on). Right after he prayed the prayer, he took me by surprize and asked if I would stand and explain about how the scrolls were found and the importance of them, in dating the written Old Testament 400 years before the Dead Scrolls. Also, the author friend of Bob Canuke sat next to me and wanted to further explain his and Bob’s theory on the Temple placement. What an evening . . What a day! Thank you for your prayers. Tomorrow, I start finshing up last minute details and begin packing. I miss all of you and I am ready to get back home to my mom. Blessings, D
