Whitney Houston and Jordan River

For some reason, Whitney wanted to be baptized in the River Jordan. The Bible speaks of the River Jordan, Jerusalem, and Israel. Jerusalem is located in Israel.

(Matt. 3:1-6) 1In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea, 2
And saying, Repent you: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

3 For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare you the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. 4 And the same John had his raiment of camel's hair, and a leather girdle about his loins; and his meat was locusts and wild honey. 5 Then went out to him Jerusalem, and all Judaea, and all the region round about Jordan, 6 And were baptized of him in Jordan, confessing their sins.

Maybe Whitney Houston really knew her Bible and tried to base her life on it. God chose Israel to be his chosen people according to (Deut.7:6).  For you are an holy people to the LORD your God: the LORD your God has chosen you to be a special people to himself, above all people that are on the face of the earth.

Great things happened in Israel in the Bible days. There may have been other reasons why Whitney chose to be baptized in the Jordan River with her family. I do not know, but I'm guessing that it is becasuse she knew the things mentioned in the Bible.
