Evangelical pastor vows to rid Israel of swine flu

07.09.09, THE JERUSALEM POST (IL). The near-blind discarded their glasses and claimed crystal-clear sight. The crippled cast aside canes and vacated wheelchairs to stumble and leap in joy. One woman shouted she had been cured of "cancer of the womb," and another of tuberculosis. Dancing, singing, clapping and weeping, the 3000-strong crowd from 36 countries who had come to witness the ministry of evangelical South Korean pastor Dr. Jaerock Lee peered down upon a carefully choreographed service which took place amid life-sized models of the Old City's ancient gates, and under a banner bearing the Israeli flag and the slogan "God is great" in Hebrew. Dr. Lee, speaking in Hebrew, promised to perform signs and wonders, bring blessings upon Israel, heal its sick, and even eradicate the swine flu virus from the nation.
