Dutch Fishermen’s Town Prays For Israel; Lighthouse Lit For Jewish Nation
By Stefan J. Bos, Chief International Correspondent Worthy News
URK, NETHERLANDS (Worthy News) – Reports are emerging of Christians praying for wartorn Israel, including in the Dutch fishermen’s town of Urk, known for its many churches. Hundreds of Christians gathered around Urk’s lighthouse to pray for the Jewish nation, where more than 700 Israelis were killed in a surprise attack by militants.
“Praying for Israel at the lighthouse of Urk. With hundreds of people. It’s very impressive,” said Kees Heldenvan.
Footage soon emerged on social media showing the electronically imposed flag of Israel on the local lighthouse as the prayer service got underway.
“When seeing this photo, there is a feeling of love for Israel; all Urkers have that feeling! Why? We were raised with the Bible about the God of Israel,” noticed Klaasteunis Ras. “But most of all, something lights up because we believe that in Israel, Emmanuel was born in Bethlehem in a stable as the world’s Savior,” he added.
“And we believe that the time is near when He will reveal Himself to Israel. I look forward to Christ showing Himself to Israel just as Joseph [in the Bible] revealed Himself to His brothers.
And when that happens, surrounding countries will also convert to the living God. When exactly? Only God knows. But the time is near,” Ras said.
