It is a darker world today than it was a year ago.

This is the conclusion of a series of Mideast updates that began in January. This month we focus on Israel and Syria.
Syria
Henry Kissinger once observed, “Damascus is at one and the same time the fount of modern Arab nationalism and the exhibit of its frustrations.” He also wrote. “Syrian history alternates achievement with catastrophe.”1 In the Old Testament, Syria (or “Aram”) was the name for the Aramean kingdom centered at Damascus. A country of deep and rich traditions—Greco-Roman, Islamic, and Mediterranean—it had become a cultural and intellectual backwater.
The Kingdom, Power & Glory Not All Christians Will Inherit
There’s something important that you should remember as you begin to read the following. This article is part of a series. So, even though I try to review each time, it’s impossible for me to re-define every term in every article. Consequently, if you find yourself confused about something, you might want to lay your hands on some of the previous Personal Updates, or simply get the book The Kingdom, Power and Glory.
So far in this series, we have learned that the way we live our lives here and now will have eternal and unchangeable consequences in the coming Millennial Kingdom. In other words, what we do after we have been born again will dramatically affect our role, our position and our place of responsibility in the future kingdom. All believers will be with Christ in the coming Millennium, but only those who constantly recognize their choices and choose to turn around and follow Christ (repent), will inherit that kingdom.
We conduct 3 tours a year: the Berean Tour, the Talmidim Tour and the Issachar Tour
Israel Tour Update: The Berean Tour and Talmidim Tour dates are now back-to-back. You can participate in both tours while just paying for one airfare (plus land packages for both tours). Simply email sharon@khouse.org for further information.
The Berean Tour is our “Walk Through the Bible” tour. We walk where Jesus Walked, we pray where Jesus prayed and we stand where He performed miracles. This journey through the Holy Land will make the scriptures come alive. Truly an incredible trip.
The Berean Tour has VERY LIMITED SPACE, so act quickly!
The Talmidim Tour will provide you the opportunity to put feet to your faith as we seek to incarnate Genesis 12. This Tour will combine TOURING, STUDYING as well as WORKING hard on some much-needed projects!
The Issachar Tour focuses on modern Israel and her struggles. Besides visiting amazing biblical sites, this trip will provide private briefings that have previously included briefings and Q & A with members of the IDF, Mossad, the Shin Bet, as well as members of the Knesset.
Our Current Tour Schedule: Berean Tour: May 8th - 18th, 2010 (in Israel May 9th - May 17th) Talmidim Tour: May 18th - 29th, 2010 (In Israel May 19th - 28th) Issachar Tour: 2010 - Details not yet available
