I have visited Israel twice and I can assure you that Israel is very politcally alive. I would advice pleaders of this uncriptual bible- interpretation to slowly read Romans chapter eleven.

But how anyone can think so after 1948, 1956, 1967, 1973 and further on is more puzzling. Tord Ivarsson. +-----------------------------+---------------------------------+ ! Tord Ivarsson !
