THROUGH THE BIBLE IN THREE YEARS
Once, in order to project "a greater openness and sense of public responsibility," the CIA commissioned a committee to study ways that would help them change their cloak-and-dagger persona.
December 20, 1991, the committee presented the findings in a fifteen-page report named, "Task Force Report on Greater Openness."
The CIA took that document, classified and stamped it SECRET, and has refused to divulge or comment on its contents.
Does that remind you of some Christians who are in the SECRET SERVICE of our Lord, and never proclaim His Gospel?

Isaiah 60:4-9
4 Lift up thine eyes round about, and see: all they gather themselves together, they come to thee: thy sons shall come from far, and thy daughters shall be nursed at thy side.
5 Then thou shalt see, and flow together, and thine heart shall fear, and be enlarged; because the abundance of the sea shall be converted unto thee, the forces of the Gentiles shall come unto thee.
6 The multitude of camels shall cover thee, the dromedaries of Midian and Ephah; all they from Sheba shall come: they shall bring gold and incense; and they shall shew forth the praises of the LORD.
7 All the flocks of Kedar shall be gathered together unto thee, the rams of Nebaioth shall minister unto thee: they shall come up with acceptance on mine altar, and I will glorify the house of my glory.
8 Who are these that fly as a cloud, and as the doves to their windows?
9 Surely the isles shall wait for me, and the ships of Tarshish first, to bring thy sons from far, their silver and their gold with them, unto the name of the LORD thy God, and to the Holy One of Israel, because he hath glorified thee.
KJV

Literally, FLOODS of people have come to Jerusalem and given tremendous aid to the Jewish people! Born-again Christians from every country of the world have influenced leadership to send funds and aid to Jerusalem. Christians realize that God STILL HAS a significant purpose for which He will use the Jewish people.
Those born-again believers who go to Israel do not serve Judaism, but they serve Jesus Christ. It is HE of Whom this passage of Scripture prophesies. His coming brought LIGHT, or revelation to the lost.
Note that they are called "sons" because they have received adoption through the blood of Jesus Christ, King of Israel, King of Kings, Eternal Lord.
Millions of Christians have traveled to the "Holy Land" to see the places where Jesus ministered. They have carried with them millions of tourist dollars which have benefitted Israel tremendously. The land of Israel is rich today because people "fly as a cloud" (verse 8) to see how God has "glorified" (verse 9) Israel.
But there is going to be a time when a GREATER "flood" of people will seek to be in the country of Israel. That will be when Jesus comes AGAIN! For in that day, He will set up the millenial kingdom, and will rule the earth from Jerusalem.
Yes, this prophecy speaks about the time when Jesus came to live on the earth and preach salvation through Him and Him alone. When Jesus came then, he shined a great LIGHT upon Israel and the whole world. It was the revelation of salvation through Christ and Him alone.
And, this prophecy also speaks of ANOTHER event. One day there is going to be another appearance of our Lord upon this earth. Then, He will stay for 1,000 years. And all the people of the earth, from every nation and tongue will live in HARMONY!
Now THAT'S a LIGHT the world hasn't yet seen!!
And it could happen ANY DAY now!
Are you READY?
PROCLAIM IT!
Love ya,
