Wolves in Israel

It is hard to be in Israel and not be reminded of scripture... to walk where scripture was revealed or read about past and future events prophesied in scripture to take place in this Holy land....

So I opened the Bible on my I-pod and searched for Mount Carmel... The first quote I found was where Isaiah said: "the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose... and rejoice even with joy and singing: the glory of Lebanon shall be given unto it, the splendor of Carmel and Sharon, they shall see the glory of the Lord, and the splendor of our God." and that the Law would go forth from there...

Of course Isaiah also said that “the wolf and the lamb will drink from the same stream... and the lion and the calf pasture in the same meadow” so while Aja and I saw the desert blossoming and many things dedicated to the Glory of God... and while we also saw lambs and calfs.. we kept our eyes open for lions and wolves .... because Isaiah did not say anything about them sitting nicely with humans... and i would not want one of them sneaking up on us.. Leah would not be impressed if aja got eaten by a lion.. luckily we did not see any...

Then I got to thinking that I am a member of the Tagish-Tlingit Wolf clan and felt kind of bad as I realized that as a wolf I had been enjoying the gyro’s with roasted lamb and pita bread served with humus and tasty veggies, olives and chili peppers.... After that we left the mt. Carmel area and I did not have a chance to drink with any lambs...but I promise next time I am in Israel I will stick to the Chicken gyro’s...and take a long cool drink out of a stream with the lambs...

  1. Maybe as an act of condrition you could get a tattoo of a lamb on your left calf and a wolf on your right calf, then when ever you see a river or stream you could wade in up to your knees.
