The Facts

Israel needs you.  And you need the facts:  

•    In the week preceding the launch of Operation Pillar of Defense, over 120 missiles were fired from Gaza into southern Israel.
•    From the beginning of 2012 until the launch of Operation Pillar of Defense, over 760 missiles were fired from Gaza into Israel's southern communities.
•    Since Israel launched this operation last week, an additional 880 missiles have been fired into Israel, killing three Israelis, injuring many more, and destroying homes and schools.
•    Hamas has fired missiles at Israel’s capital, Jerusalem, and at Israel’s financial center, Tel Aviv, expanding the number of Israelis living within range of Hamas rocket attacks to over 3 million.    

As Prime Minister Netanyahu recently noted, “No government would tolerate a situation where nearly a fifth of its people live under a constant barrage of rockets and missile fire, and Israel will not tolerate this situation.”  

Prime Minister Netanyahu is absolutely right.  We have to make sure that before anyone raises their voices to condemn Israel, they stop and think what they would do – what they would demand their government to do – if forced to live under enemy missile fire.  

Quoted from Christians United For Israel

Israel At War November 2012

Kim Kardashian should not have received the death threats in response to her twitter message ' praying for everyone in Israel ' and then have to remove and apologise for it.
There are many Israel supporters across the world and we should not have to be threatened because of this choice - a world in which we should still have this choice.
The God of Israel will neither slumber nor sleep at this time and has His hand and His eyes upon her, Jerusalem, continuously and He notes who decides this way and that regarding Her peace and security.

Jerusalem you have Watchmen on your Walls forever.

A NEW SWEEP OF THE AGE OLD BABYLONIAN TYRANT MANIFESTS ITSELF IN THE WESTERN SOCIETIES NOT ONLY ON THE ROUND TABLES AS THE MEN OF THE WORLD MEET TO DECIDE THE FATE FOR ALL 62 NATIONS.  IT LIES UNEXPECTEDLY AND NOW MORE AND MORE APPARENTLY RAMPANT WITHIN THE CHURCHES OF THE WEST AS EACH MAN MUST DECIDE WHOM HE WILL SUPPORT – THE GOD OF AVRAHAM, YITZHAK AND YAAKOV OR THE GOD OF… WELL WESTERN CHURCH.  LEADERS AND CONGREGATIONAL MEMBERS ARE PUTTING THEIR HEADS IN THE SANDS OF DENIAL, REFUSING TO MAKE A CLEAR STAND FOR THE NATION OF ISRAEL, AS THE ROOT OF THEIR FAITH, AS AN ONGOING ELEMENT TO THE WORD OF GOD AND WHAT HE IS DOING IN THE WORLD AND WILL DO IN THE FUTURE, AND THEY ALLOW MEN CLEARLY OPPOSED TO THE WILL OF GOD FOR ISRAEL TO HEAD THEIR CONNECTED CHURCES.  ANTI-SEMITISM IN NEW SUITS IS COMING FORTH AS WALLS OF DIVISION MUST GO UP WHEN EACH MAN MUST DECIDE FOR HIMSELF.  AS THEY DECIDE THE FATE OF ISRAEL, IN THEIR PERSEPCTIVE, THEY ARE SIMULTANEOUSLY DECIDING THEIR OWN FATE.

Succot

With the high holidays, Yom Kippur and Sukkot, just recently behind us, a time of both reflection and celebration, the Jewish New Year in full swing, winter is here and we are speeding towards the end of the year and even greater celebration!

For now, every week is a celebration on Shabbat (tomorrow!) as a benefit and a blessing - not a law or a curse.  To rest, reflect, enjoy time together and share in the meal, relationship and the word that we have been given and that has been passed down to us.  The first feast celebrated - Shabbat - and one in which Yeshua celebrated himself, part of the benefits that have never disappeared but have been altered many years ago to a more roman way of doing things, on a different day, with different names.  Hence the church as it is today and further and further away from its Hebraic Jewish Roots.

Shabbat is to be enjoyed and is for all.

Shabbat Shalom!

PRESSING TIMES & PRESSING MATTERS

     With Israel at the brink of imminent war, yet again, it is crucial to keep Israel and the inhabitants in our prayers and to do all that we can in an effort to support God's land and people during times of persecution.  The world and indeed the church are called now to wake up and to not only watch what is happening with Israel's surrounding enemies trying to annihilate the Jewish people, simply for being Jewish, whilst the world closes their eyes and currently stands with one foot on the brink of another hitler era.  It is here and now and we are to stop the annihilation of the Jewish people, who are the ones who have given us our faith, not vice versa, who are the ones chosen by God to do this and much more - to bring a fuller richness if we were to have a respect and deep study of the Word of God through hebrew eyes and seeking a revelation of the heart of God.  And His plan for the future and for a New Jerusalem.

If you have not learned to love the earthly Jerusalem, how then can you love the heavenly Jerusalem?

Israel's Watchmen

Israel’s Watchmen

Close to The Heart of God

v  God wishes to be known as ‘God of Israel’ in His Word.

v  Scripture instructs Believers to support Israel.  Ps 122v6  Pray for the peace of Jerusalem.

v  I have made you a Watchman for the House of Israel.

‘Promised return of Israel:  Promised return of Israel:  I will gather you from the nations and bring you back from the countries where you’ve scattered and I will give you back the land of Israel again.’                                                                                                                             Ezekial Ch 11v17

Why We Believe In Israel: 

§  Israel is mentioned 2566 times and Jerusalem 811 times in the Bible.  The three pillars of Christianity – Faith, Hope and Love are mentioned 257, 129 and 310 times.

§  It is the Origin and Birthplace of our faith and where we will return eternally in the New Jerusalem and the Feast of Tabernacles will be celebrated forever.  You will be there.

§  Jesus is a Jew and our Roots are Judaic.  The history of the church began as Messianic Judaism and a spit created Christianity Judaism.  Today’s model and persecution from the church hampers evangelism to the Jewish People.

§  It is the Heart of God, His Choice and His Plan for the Nations.

§  We are to humbly remember we are the ingrafted branches and salvation comes from the Jews and is to the Jew first (God’s Word).

§  Every believer has a biblical obligation to pray for, support and seek salvation for the Jewish People and Israel.  This is a responsibility of the church and its members no matter the other individual callings they might also have.  This is integral to blessing, fundamentals of the Bible and our faith, and central to the End Time Plan for Israel and the Nations.

‘What is this proverb you have in the land of Israel:  The days go by and every vision comes to nothing.  I am going to put an end to this proverb, and they will no longer quote it in Israel.  The days are near when every vision will be fulfilled.’                                              Ezekial Ch11v21-23

What To Pray For:

§  Salvation for Israel

§  Peace and protection for Israel

§  Healing in the hearts, body and minds of all who live there.

§  Restoration through salvation in Yeshua, The Messiah, between Jew and Arab (brothers in the One New Man).

‘I will give them an undivided heart and put a new spirit in them, I will remove from them their heart of stone and give them a heart of flesh.’                                                            Ezek Ch11v19

§  God’s End Time Prophetic Plan for Israel and the world.

§  The Orthodox, The Army, War Victims, Israel’s Leaders and Children

‘carry their sons and daughters on our shoulders’

‘those who pray for the peace of Jerusalem will be blessed’

Scripture:

God’s attachment to the land:  ‘It is a land the Lord your God cares for, the eyes of the Lord your God are CONTINUALLY on it from the beginning of the year to its end.’                      Deut Ch11v12

Israel Central for God’s Plan for the Earth:  This verse mentions Israel as the centre of the earth.  ‘Tabbuwr’ in Hebrew which means bellybutton, where the umbilical cord between heaven and earth was once attached.  One day this will be re-attached in re-creation.                                                                Rev Ch21v1-4

We are living in very significant and serious times in which I hope you will not delay to seek the very Heart of God where you find… that God’s Word has not changed, nor has He changed and Israel is still Israel.   No other country of people have replaced this or His plan.

                God is a serious supporter of Israel which is the Jewish People and the Nation of Israel and has ALWAYS sent judgment upon those people, leaders and countries that have sought to come against His Promised Land and People.

                God identifies Himself as Israel’s God.  He chose her, shouldn’t we?

God supports Israel, shouldn’t you?

Jere. Ch31v35-36 He pledged to remember Israel for as long as the sun, moon and stars exist.  His support will continue until these celestial bodies disappear.  Those against Israel will have to find a way to remove these orbs from their God-given places!

                God ordained Israel and the Jewish People to be a light unto the nation and for salvation of those who believe.  Israel is God’s prophetic time clock for His plans and purposes for world events. 

We stand in repentance towards God, the Jews and Israel for the sin of replacement theology and neglect.  We are grateful for their sacrificial road which has brought much persecution and for keeping the word in tact.

WARRING FOR TRUTH, HIS TRUTH

'Christians who lack sound biblical understanding are being tossed about by every wind of unfortunate, anti-Semitic doctrine', Israel's Teaching Letter, Bridges for Peace.

This statement is fully supported and lies in the realm of such extensive, albeit unfortunate, reality in today's society and more shockingly the majority of 'believers.'

Remarks such as 'Israel is for some'

'It is just for you or your family'

'It is a passion for you only'

'Israel is not involved in the End Times, and/or isn't a prophetic time clock'

'He will not return and place His feet on the Mount of Olives'

'Israel's significance, and that of the Jewish people, is only based on history and not future'

'It is not a responsibility and call for every christian'

'It is not central to our faith, the bible or a call to the church'

'Put your pride in your pocket and continue with people and leaders who disagree with Israel's centrality in our faith and God's plan...', or others willing to remain silent on the matter as opposed to standing up for what God says is Right...

These such remarks come from our local churches, and leaders who profess to love the God of Israel and His Word (profess to know the Word), which mentions Israel thousands of times in comparison to the three pillars of christianity, namely, Hope, Faith and Love.  Remarks as above simply seem to be HERESY IN A NEW SUIT, which one could not put more aptly, like Bridges for Peace have noted in their recent newsletter.  If one cannot agree with the significance of Israel in the Word, for every church & believer, and in our lives and prayers... then something is wrong, severely amiss and put simply out of alignment with GOD's Word, not man's.  There should be no war in speech over matters such as these, except between people of a different spirit and who are anti-semitic although they would not confess it, others a little more hesitant on the topic lacking revelation and not knowing His Word.

It is unfortunate that such anti-semitism exists today - not the apparent face but a new, subtle wave of not wanting to stand out from the crowd, or lose a church badge, or be willing to agree with GOD's TRUTH about His land, His plan, His people... not willing to stand up for the truth being spoken about the place Israel has in The Infallible Word of God, and in His Heart, and His plan for the End Times and the nations.

We have no guidelines to go by as great as this Book, the book, the Bible... which reveals right and wrong, etc, and also God's story of a Land and People,  who are central for His plan for worldwide redemption.

In Conclusion for now, become a student of the Word and remember de-zionising the bible is subtracting from the word of God... and being willing to agree with, or not agree but walk along with and be silent to such anti-Israel support... not being willing to stand up for God's Truth, is a silent form of anti-semitism in itself and disbelief in God's Word and His Plan.
