Today is Holocaust Remembrance Day in Israel (Yom HaShoah, literally “Day of the Disaster”). Today we remember the millions who lost their lives in the Holocaust. At 10:00 am, sirens sounded across the country for a minute of silence. People stopped, and cars pulled over (well, they’re supposed to – not many did from our vantage point) and people stood by the side of the road.
It’s chilling to think of what sort of atrocities have been committed in this world and what continues (I think of the recent chemical attack in Syria). Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Pray that peace will reign on this earth. In meantime, we await the Lord’s return to set everything right.
“He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death” or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.
Revelation 21:4
