You may have heard the term "goyim" and know this is the way that Jews often refer to non-Jews, or in English, “Gentiles.” You might even think this is a negative term, an insult which expresses animosity towards those who are not Jewish. In fact, the opposite is true!

All the Nations Together
In the days of the Bible, the Hebrew word goy גוֹי was simply the way of saying "nation." Each of the great peoples of the world (the Egyptians, the Babylonians, the Assyrians) is called a goy in the Bible. The people of Israel are also called a goy (Genesis 12:2). The prophet Isaiah imagines a wonderful messianic future where, “nation (goy) shall not lift up sword against nation (goy)” (Isa. 2:4).

The Chosen People Alone
If the nations of the world are all goyim (plural of goy), there is no inherent difference between Jews and Gentiles. So why are the Jews the “chosen people”? The Bible says explicitly that Israel did nothing to deserve being chosen (Deut. 7:6-8). Rather God decided to give Israel the weighty responsibly of being his "special treasure" (segula) so they could be the channel of blessing to all people on earth. 
 
Come to Zion with Hebrew
From Abraham’s family tree, came Israel, from whom eventually the Messiah was born. Now is the time to fulfill the prophecy of Isaiah that “all the nations (goyim) shall stream to Jerusalem” to worship the Lord in perfect harmony (Isa. 2:2).

The way that the world is going at present I am looking for the rapture during the feast of trumpets this year. I may be wrong but we sure do seem to be in a down spiral as of late. I think that we may be equalling the conditions that Noah faced when he was building the ark.

Jack and I have this conversation very often! The more break downs of our body, the more we cheer the Rapture on! LOL!

To be serious....we also think we may live to hear our name called out on that glorious day.....also agree that it is will very possibly be on the Feast of Trumpets, which year..... we won’t know until it happens!

There is so much happening! The pieces are falling into place, the worsening of the weather, more and larger hurricanes, the fires every summer, and morals are getting to the point of non-existence! I’m afraid we may see the collapse of America!

And then there’s Israel! As they say...Keep your eyes on Israel!

If we’re wrong, that’s OK too! We know where we’re going.......HOME! Until then we’ll do the best we can and share the gospel every chance we get! 🙏🏻😌👍

MARANATHA!
