The night was silent and the streets nearly empty, but through Hamar a procession of about 70 - 80 people with torch lights made their way with help of a police car in front.

When I listen to such people as Jahn Otto Johansen, I am thankful to God and proud of being a Norwegian.

He first had an appeal on the market square and then inside an auditory close by, he gave a lecture on antiSemitism

Someone is never afraid of speaking words about righteousness and they never give up. Jahn Otto Johansen is one of them.

I am glad that some more people came to the auditory afterwards; maybe about 110-120 attended. But where were the press photographers? I couldn't see them at all. Are we forgetting to honor the old and wise men and women in our nation, and are we forgetting to learn about what they have to say?

Anyway he let us to know: he has a lot of knowlegde  -and wisdom too.

He spoke about antiSemitism  throughout history and focused on different countries in Europe. He also reminded us that the Christians have promoted it a lot. Already in a church council in year 888, they made a clear statement, that it is forbidden to have meals with both Christians and Jews.

Then he also reminded us about the historical fact that there were no ghettoes before the great crusades and the Inquisition. It means there were no ghettoes before around year 1000-1100 after Christ.

To be more clear: The ghettoes actually came with the crusades and the inquisition.

Few countries have openly regretted for their antisemtism during Second Worldwar, but Germany has. Jahn Otto also used some time to focused that. It came up in the sixties when the young generation asked their daddies: What did you do in the Second World war? - Every year, in the middle of Berlin they are reading the names of the Jews they lost  because of Nazism. - 55 000 names are being red loud: why? They don't want the offers to be nameless. Another example:" Mein Kampf " of Hitler is forbidden to sell in Germany, but like in Austria and in Russia they are selling it openly in the streets.

We should ever be ashamed, as Christians, about what we throughout history have done towards the Jews, and it should make us always to live in repentance for doing what is right towards them.Then we should also guard our-selves against all kind of hate and contempt to all peoplegroups. And if we still have some kind of this hatress or contempt, we should get rid of it by confessing our sin before God.

Let us always be curious about the true facts in history. It can help us to do right in future!

The Israelday gave more than we had expected!

Sunday 31.October we arranged a Israelday in the theatre in Stangehallen.
Between 50 and 60 people were listening when Dag Øyvind Juliussen from the International Christian Ambassy of Jerusalem gave information about the Gaza-convoys
and afterwards he gave good fundamental teaching about Israel as a part of the salvtionplan of God.

Dag Øyvind made clear for us how the truth is kept away from the Norwegian society through the fact that the Norwegian media are lieing, also without regreting when they are confronted with the truth. So much gods are coming into Gaza legally through Israel! Then it is getting meaningless that this is not informed by the media. Dag Øyvind brought clips from the Norwegian newschannels as a very clear documentation about this matter.

He teached afterwards about Israel in the salvationplan of God and made clear how the covenant God made with Abraham made the foundation for the new covenant in the blood of Christ. The covenant with Abraham is still in function and the new covenant is build on that.

Furthermore he focused that two very important events have to happen before the end will come: 1.The gospel much be preached for all people groups and 2. The Jews shall see the one they crucified and recognize him and recieve him as saviour and lord.

The salvationplan of God includes all people groups. We are not for someone and agains others. We want piece with all and to give them the Gospel.

The dancing group Menorah from Hamar with Julanta as leader was dancing to jewish songs before and after the speech of Dag Øyvind. -They did a very excellent job!

This happening was giving us so much and we hope in future to have several of such arrangements!





The Chrystal night; 9th November

This night, in Germany, 72 year ago a terrible violence was  effected against the Jews.

Almost all the synagogues were burnt and the Jewish shops and houses were damaged; about 7000 during that night. A great number of Jews were killed. 20 000 Jews were sent to concentration camps. This was the start of the extermination of altogether 6 million Jews during Second World War! -Of these 1,5 million were children.
