We were walking last night to a friend's house. On the way we ran into some kind of protest. As we got closer we realized it was for animal rights.
Ok, not too surprising. Here in the land you will find weirder things. The kicker was when we came back home, as we passed through the same area we saw an unusual sight. A group of ultra orthodox Jews and regualr looking people with a table set up with signing forms gathered around a truck. To their right and their left there were crates full of live chickens... but not alive for long.
It then connected for us, earlier the protesters were crying about the shedding of innocent chicken blood that was about to be shed. There were people waiting in line to sign up to have a chicken to be spun over their heads and the heads of their family, to remove thier sins, after which the same chicken would be put out of its motion sickness misery by the swift slitting of it's throat by a Rabbi.
Ladies and gentlemen, behold the new and improved tactic of atonement, in which God's chosen have solved, yet again, the problem of not having a temple any longer with the sacrificing of bulls and rams. Now you can have your new and improved, compressed down in size and less messy... chicken sacrifice!
If that's not enough, Israel has once again proven that yes, we are a democratic country, meaning; you can state your opinion loudly as long as no bones are broken and no blood is shed. So then earlier the Animal Rights protesters had their chance to loudly defend chickens.
This coming out of a country that, by quota kills more unborn babies per year than any other country in the world. With this in mind we can pray the following; that the chosen ones, on this day of atonement will receive a full revelation of their state as a people who are still running from their God and repent (meaning; make a complete u-turn) and come back to the more important things... like taking care of the orphan and the widow and calling for justice for the voiceless.
God help us all in this season of sobering and awakening to the true reality of where we are as a nation.
While saying that we also remember what God did for us through Yeshua and receive that for our selves and for those in the sphere of our influence. Our God took care of atonement once and for all and our God is no chicken either.
