Save the Jordan

11Sep06

According to this report, Jordan, Occupied Palestine (that tumour also called Israel) and Syria are responsible for the dwindling of the sacred river’s water with which Christians from all over the world wet their bodies in what is known as baptism.

Not only did these three countries divert water from major water providers but also dumped that water later on in the forms of sewage, industrial waste water and salt water.

How longer do you think Jordan River will live?!!

    This is a point I use with fellow Christians all the time to prove that Israel did not ‘make a desert bloom’ by a miracle, but by destroying the Jordan River and Dead Sea with it. They point to lovely photos, I point to the fact you only see the same area from different angles as it is better named the “Jordan Trickle” elsewhere.

    Baptism is a very important act of faith for us, much more than just ‘getting wet’.
