Israel Revealed
EPILOGUE

A few years ago, I was in the Galilee with tourists on the day when the headline news rang out, . The King is coming!.   Children were sent first to cross the new bridge across the Jordan River to greet King Hussein -- who was the king of Jordan until he passed away in 1999.  In 1951 Hussein was a child standing next to his grandfather, King Abdullah, as he was shot to death while in prayer at the Al Aksa Mosque in Jerusalem.  The underlying reason for the assassination was that Grandfather Abdullah envisioned a peaceful coexistence with the Jews of Israel.  Moslem fanatics apparently thought that killing the king would eliminate peace.  It did not; peace was spared.  Among the shots was a bullet that glanced off a medal on young Hussein. s chest.  His life was spared.  PHOTO: AL AKSA MOSQUE

Somewhere tucked in the genetic code of his royal blood, Hussein was destined to become the king who would see the peace his grandfather yearned for.  Although not the first peace treaty a Moslem nation would have with Israel, it is by far the warmest peace agreement Israel has with any Arab neighbor.

The gladness and warmth of this peace are reflected by Arabs in Israel.  I hear the question repeated almost daily, . Mister Danny, have you been to Amman yet?.   I haven. t, but I will.  And so will thousands of Americans, Europeans, and others of the world family.  Setting aside manmade fear and going now with calmed hearts, they will visit the Holy Land, all of it, Israel, Egypt, and Jordan.

Jesus of Nazareth, the Holy King: The . Holy. of the land was Jesus of Nazareth.  He was born in Bethlehem, moved to Egypt, returned to Galilee, visited beyond the Jordan River, and fulfilled his mission in Jerusalem, the Holy City.  His influence reaches out from these places to all the world.  Now, I ask you, have you been to the Holy Land?  If you haven. t, you should.  President Spencer W. Kimball  suggested that every Latter-day Saint who could afford it should visit the Holy Land; he said, . It will change your life. . . I went and it changed mine..   The peace you will experience will warm your heart.  You. ll experience what the lifeblood of this land really is. 

Kings in Israel:  Symbolically, between the first king in this land (Saul) and the last king (Hussein) was the King of Kings.  His purpose was to bring peace. PHOTO: GIBEAH -- SAUL AND HUSSEIN'S PALACE
 

 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you.  Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.   JOHN 14:27

You should know that modern peace is still preserved.  The prophetic promises of peace are happening now.  For a while Arab and Jewish children will grow up together in a new understanding of tranquility.  This window of time has also opened an opportunity for you.  You can be touched by the ancient culture, religion, and spirit that still reflect ancient truths that have been restored in modern times.  I welcome you soon to see, hear, and feel the gospel in its ancient environment.  It will help prepare you to greet the king. for soon the King of Kings will be coming!
