My Mom and Dad were among the First American Troops who went into Dachau...
In respect for the Jews and in respect for my parents...and in memory of them all...
***************************
New Photos of Liberation of Dachau Revealed
Never before revealed color photos of the liberation of the Dachau concentration camp have been discovered and are on display online 3/26/2013
The colour of darkness
Sixty eight years after the conclusion of World War II, never before revealed color photos of the liberation of the Dachau concentration camp have been discovered. The photos were published on the Vintage Everyday site.
The photos show the camp as it was when it was liberated by Allied forces at the end of the war. The photos portray prisoners of the camp at the time of liberation, along with American soldiers. Bodies of dead victims are seen as well.
The Dachau concentration camp was liberated by American soldiers on April 29, 1945. The site did not disclose the source of the photos.

We must NEVER forget, and we must stand against those who would deny. Thank you for sharing Sis, and thank you for reminding us. God bless you.

My parents saw that...were witnesses. Years later when people had again begun to deny the Holocaust, my parents took my children to Dachau and told them about what they saw, and heard and smelled and touched...
My parents were eye-witnesses.
The Four Gospels and the Book of Acts tell us about another event and the accounts come from eye witnesses to the event. These people saw Jesus die a horrible death. Isaiah tells us "... His visage was marred, unlike any man's..." He didn't even look human, He was so beaten and abused...
The men and women assembled on Calvary saw Him die...three days later they saw Him alive again...
Just as my parents saw with their own eyes what others have denied happened...
the men and women on Calvary and in the garden saw what happened with their own eyes...
Lord Jesus is alive...!

Amen Sis!!!! Some 500 eyewitness testimonies to the resurrected Christ. More than enough evidence to stand up in a court of law. 1 Cor. 15: 1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: 5 And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: 6 After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep.7 After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. 8 And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time.

I don't know Drew...but I strongly suspect that when we are all in Heaven and Jesus is telling us about the history of the Jews...He is going to say "...and with that they paid their debt for their disobedience...and that began to bring a close to that dispensation..."
Don't know, but maybe...

Don't know, but maybe... I know Sis. The Holocaust knocked the complacency right out of the Jews worldwide, and led to the founding of modern Israel. It will provide for the return, and will bring the remaining prophecies into play. So many of the old commentators such as Matthew Henry replaced national Israel/Judah with the Church in their interpretation, as they could not conceive of the nation Israel existing once again.

it's an odd tune and poem to have run thru my mind...but when I started to think about all the evil we are seeing...the magnitude and the frequesncy of it...it does fit.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day Their old familiar carols play, And wild and sweet the words repeat Of peace on earth, good will to men.
I thought how, as the day had come, The belfries of all Christendom Had rolled along the unbroken song Of peace on earth, good will to men.
And in despair I bowed my head: "There is no peace on earth," I said, "For hate is strong and mocks the song Of peace on earth, good will to men."
Then pealed the bells more loud and deep: "God is not dead, nor doth he sleep; The wrong shall fail, the right prevail, With peace on earth, good will to men."
Till, ringing singing, on its way, The world revolved from night to day, A voice, a chime, a chant sublime, Of peace on earth, good will to men!
Amen?

Preparing to teach Job in SS this quarter and was reading and ran across this. Really fired up my 3 functioning brain cells so thought I would share...it is from a commentary by J. Vernon McGee...
"I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear: but now mine eyes seeth thee. Wherefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes." Job42:5-6
"This ought to teach every believer today---it should teach everyone who reads this---that no matter how good we think we are, we need to see ourselves as God sees us. All our righteousness is as filthy rags. We need to repent."
Good words from Dr. McGee...

The Voice of the Martyrs - USA
A VOM partner smuggling Bibles and other Christian literature into a restricted nation was warned by friends that his work could lead to his arrest, and even to having his hands cut off. His reply: "When I gave myself to God, that included my hands."
Do I have this kind of faith and courage? Is the question this brought to my mind...and to my heart.

"Then I said, I will not make mention of him, nor speak any more in his name. But his word was in mine heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I was weary with forbearing, and I could not stay." Jeremiah 20:9
Read this in my quiet time before starting the day...
************************
"The New Opium of the People
The attack on the only faith worth holding is being made by subtle means. The "clevers" in their ivory towers nibble away at the moral certainties until un-clever man is no longer sure of what is right and what is wrong. He has been "conned" into the belief that God is dead. He does no dare criticize what is lewd, salacious and corrupting for fear of being called a prude. He scarcely dares to lift a finger to ease men's burdens for he will be scorned as a "do-gooder."
The ancient Hebrew book of Proverbs says: "where there is no vision, the people cast off restraint" Proverbs 29:18. This is happening everyday before our eyes. It is materialistic humanism and not religion which is "the opium of the people."
Deprive mankind of ultimate authority and of the whole dimension of the spiritual and he is reduced indeed--a creature lacking any real significance and stripped of any ideals worth striving for, or victories worth winning.
He falls to polluting himself and his environment both physically and morally, and does not know how to stop.
J. B. Phillips...
