upon Romans chapter 11. In 1991 in Yelm, Washington, I heard an
Egyptian newly arrived in Canada for his life’s safety - as a
witness to Jesus. He had many relatives lose their lives through the
various wars in the past between Israel and the Arab neighbors,
especially in Egypt. God asked him, “Would you be willing to seek
to win Jews to Me - and pray for their redemption?” “Of course
not,” he replied, “in the light of what they have done against
me!” But God persisted - “Yet because you are Mine, and you can
see My promises in Romans 11 on their behalf, - would you not
reconsider your reply?”</span></span></font></font></font></p>
