Moving around looking for a homeland

"Home at Last" (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

It is again holiday time and many go for a time far from house.  When they leave they have the security that they will turn back to their safe home.
But sometimes travelling people let their minds wander and dream of a lovely place to stay, the ideal living space.

Millennia ago many had to leave their house to some promised land. It happened even in the history that for 1000 year a people was spread over the entire earth. Taken away from home they hoped for a promised native country. They counted there on that their patriarch who received the promise of the All Father would bring them rescue and a country of peace for forever.
A holocaust did their people awful shrink but their hope remained and came closer to existence in 1948. the State Israel might become a reality and would become populated by the Jewish community. Again once an exodus, that the whole world event would change, took place.

Ver weg van huis

Het is weer vakantie tijd en velen gaan voor een tijdje ver van huis. Wanneer zij vertrekken hebben zij de zekerheid dat zij naar hun veilige stekje zullen terug keren.
Sommige vakantiegangers durven hun gedachten wel eens de vrije loop laten gaan en doen dromen van een veilig stekje of een nieuwe thuishaven. Zij denken dan een land te vinden waar het beter toeven is, een ideale verblijfsplaats.

Millennia geleden moesten velen hun huis verlaten om naar een ander land te trekken.Het gebeurde zelfs in de geschiedenis dat voor 1000 jaar een volk verspreidt geraakte over de gehele aarde.Ontheemd hoopten zij voor een beloofd vaderland. Zij rekenden er op dat hun aartsvader van de Aller Vader dé belofte had gekregen die voor hen redding zou brengen en een land van vrede voor eeuwig zou werkelijkheid worden.
Een holocaust deed hun volk erg inkrimpen maar de hoop bleef bestaan en in 1948 kwam ze nog dichter bij. De Staat Israël mocht een werkelijkheid worden en zou mogen bevolkt worden door de Joodse gemeenschap.Weer eens greep er een exodus plaats die het hele wereldgebeuren zou veranderen.

The days are coming

"When I have brought them back from the nations and have gathered them from the countries of their enemies, I will show myself holy through them in the sight of many nations. Then they will know that I am the LORD their God, for though I sent them into exile among the nations, I will gather them to their own land, not leaving any behind. I will no longer hide my face from them, for I will pour out my Spirit on the house of Israel, declares the Sovereign LORD."

"The days are coming," declares the LORD, when the reaper will be overtaken by the plowman and the planter by the one treading grapes. New wine will drip from the mountains and flow from all the hills. I will bring back my exiled people Israel; they will rebuild the ruined cities and live in them. They will plant vineyards and drink their wine; they will make gardens and eat their fruit. I will plant Israel in their own land, never again to be uprooted from the land I have given them, says the LORD your God."
Amos 9:13-15

Your life the sum total of all your choices

"Your life is the sum total of all your choices
up to this present minute."
- Brian Tracy

"I call heaven and earth to witness against you today,
that I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse.
So choose life in order that you may live, you and your descendants,
by loving the LORD your God, by obeying His voice,
and by holding fast to Him; for this is your life and the length of your days,
that you may live in the land which the LORD swore to your fathers,
to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give them."
Deuteronomy 30:19-20
