Good Afternoon, Dr.Pipes!

I always enjoy seeing you on TV shows, and reading your articles and books.
At age 73, I am retired and my hobby is geopolitics, especially when it concerns Israel.

I pray for Israel and the peace of Jerusalem each day. What I cannot understand is this: Why aren't there enough Jewish people that still believe the G-d's Word set forth the land and the boundaries as an Everlasting Inheritance for HIS people? Faith is not necessarily "fast"! You have to stand, to wait, and to believe! That may take time, because it is the Almighty who decides when, where, how and why!

Is there not enough faith is Israel? Can't the people who read "fith grade level" not prove the faithfulness of EVERY prophesy? It greives me that as Christian believer, who loves Israel and its people, that we seem to be the only ones who believe the
decree in the Word, regarding this eternal inheritance.

Blessings to you, and
SHALOM!

Merle C. Fraser
