Tamar sent me an e-mail about "A JOSHUA MESSAGE TO SHARON", by Emanuel A. Winston. I couldn't get a link to reproduce the message, but no matter, because this post is not about the article, but a take-off on the title.
The "Joshua Message" Winson wanted to send to Sharon was a call for a demonstration at the Knesset, which has already happened, and was a great success. The idea was:
Let every man and woman in Israel gather in Jerusalem - each carrying a Shofar. Walk around the Knesset and the Prime Minister’s Office 7 times, stopping only to blow their Shofars, as Joshua did in Jericho. While the walls of the Knesset and the PM’s office may not fall, the message will be clear.
Nice touch, but I beg to differ.
This is NOT a Joshua Moment for Sharon, but an Elijah Moment for all of Israel:
And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long halt ye between two opinions? if the LORD be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word. 1 Ki. 18:21
In my mind, the big problem in Israel now is that it is stuck between two opinions.
Well, probably MORE than two, but it's definitely stuck between opinions.
Time to get unstuck, people!
