righteous pass away on Shabbat in their own beds, and the most righteous
between Yom Kippur and Succot. This what happened to our beloved David,” Martha
Stern wrote. </span></span></span></span></div><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"> “David's funeral was on the day
between Shabbat and the beginning of Succot. Since it is a holiday now we only
had the part of the day to sit Shiva. <br />
“We want to say ‘Thank you’ to all
of the MANY MANY people who have written so kind and wonderful thoughts about
my wonderful husband David H. Stern. We were married 46 years and had a
wonderful and amazing life together.”<br />
<br />
There have been so many responses to Martha’s Facebook post of her husband’s
passing on the Shabbat after Yom Kippur. David Stern is known by anyone who
comes into the Messianic Jewish world for any length of time, and it honored by
Messianic Jews everywhere as a scholar and theologian who shaped the movement
through his tireless works. <br />

Stern have been foundational to the International Messianic Jewish

1975 we met at Messiah College where David announced he was going to find his
wife, then in our next meeting that he had found her….He and Martha have been a

We will miss David greatly | <b>Ruth
Rosen</b>: Dear Martha Stern, sister in <br />
Yeshua, many others will do far more justice to David’s memory than I ever
could but I wanted to share just a few thoughts here. For those who knew David
primarily as the erudite scholar, I smile to remember some of his other
interests in younger years. I hope my memory isn’t playing tricks but I believe
David was an expert surfer, is that right? Like you Martha, he defied all
stereotypes. </span><span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%;">❤</span><span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%;">️</span><span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%;"> I also remember how the two of you got together
all those years ago. Many who have said “God told me” have been mistaken but
David knew the Lord had told him he was about to meet his wife at that
conference and there you were! | <b>M</b></span><b><span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%;">att

H. Stern is one of my heroes. Originally from California (and a surfer) he
wrote the “Surfing Guide of California” in 1963. In 1972, he became a believer
in Yeshua and in 1979 he made Aliyah to Israel. He earned a Ph.D. in economics
at Princeton University and was a professor at UCLA. After coming to faith in
Yeshua the Messiah he received a Master of Divinity degree at Fuller
Theological Seminary. He also did graduate work at the University of Judaism |<b> Ron Cantor</b>: </span><span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%;">Dr. David Stern went to be with Yeshua a few

activists who persecute Messianic Jews — recognized David's greatness. Martha
told me once that they called David "the pope of Jerusalem." In
traditional Jewish eyes, it doesn't get any bigger than the pope in
Christianity. That is ironic actually because David spent his four decades of
his life as a believer seeking to differentiate classic Christianity from
classic Messianic Jewish faith. This was his life's work and it is why his
works have touched so many of us by teaching us to grasp that differentiation.
It is a distinction not meant to divide, but to join us in mutual respect of
our own separate identities in the faith: Jew & Gentile, like male and
female.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span><b style="font-size: 11pt;">David
Stern was the first Messianic Jew I ever met in person.</b><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> I was just getting
immersed in what Messianic Judaism was on a Messianic bulletin board -
forerunner of the internet web - where I learned about two of his books, </span><i style="font-size: 11pt;">Restoring the Jewishness of the Gospel</i><span style="font-size: 11pt;">
and </span><i style="font-size: 11pt;">A Messianic Manifesto</i><span style="font-size: 11pt;">. When I saw
he was going to speak at Christ for the Nations, I just had to go to meet him.
Tony came with me and took this picture. It was around 1988. In 1989, David's </span><i style="font-size: 11pt;">The Jewish New Testament: A Translation of
the New Testament That Expresses Its Jewishness</i><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> was published, and you
could say, the rest is history. David Stern continued to write books that not
only helped shape the Messianic movement but also began to turn on the light
for Christians of what the Bible communicated from Jewish understanding. It
blew the doors off of the thinking of many who weren't too proud to accept that
God laid the foundations of His Word in the Jewish people. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 11pt;"> As I have been reading over all of
the comments posted to Martha Stern's Facebook page, I came to the conclusion
that there is no one in our Messianic circles that has not been touched by
David's work. That can be said of very few people but it is so true of David.
The other thing that rose strongly in my thoughts was Proverbs 18:22, </span><i style="font-size: 11pt;">"He who finds a wife finds a good thing
and obtains favor from the LORD."</i><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> I'm old enough to have a classic
view of what a wife is, and it is the kind of wife that the Bible speaks of.
Martha and I know each other mostly from long distance and our chats over the
last many years, but I have been able to see that is exactly the kind of wife
she has been to David. Even as his life has been winding down, and taking care
of him had become more taxing, more lonely, I have to say Martha has shined as
a classic good, godly wife in my eyes. </span><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: 11pt; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7crPZBdj9IedoJx0qZnByUodQ7GKAuvshJB9B9vpHhqLvNls3mygoCEU-Vs1H4FO3_1wOaGdoMrtt9RdfXDhnpre0f4QSCN5k-hhWfV7vGaouevrDKdC1EIg1nnprsZzKTDwhq4e7HuPL_AVt5tUvH2lKfUWuyR5jc7ymXVdbQ1iWnKjvPCBwAIlasg/s145/DavidMarthaStern%20dbirthday2016%20(150%20x%20150).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="143" data-original-width="145" height="143" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7crPZBdj9IedoJx0qZnByUodQ7GKAuvshJB9B9vpHhqLvNls3mygoCEU-Vs1H4FO3_1wOaGdoMrtt9RdfXDhnpre0f4QSCN5k-hhWfV7vGaouevrDKdC1EIg1nnprsZzKTDwhq4e7HuPL_AVt5tUvH2lKfUWuyR5jc7ymXVdbQ1iWnKjvPCBwAIlasg/s1600/DavidMarthaStern%20dbirthday2016%20(150%20x%20150).jpg" width="145" /></a><br /><b><i><span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%;">David’s birthday, 2016. <br /></span></i></b><i><span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%;">Martha has him draped in lyrics from a Beatle

sunny, light hearted and full of fun. A match made in Heaven. Truly, I have admired seeing the pictures she
posted of taking David out to many events - even surfing - to keep David
engaged in life, in living. I have been touched also seeing so many pictures of
visitors to Jerusalem who she allowed to come in to their home to greet David,
and to have the opportunity to pay their respects to someone whose impact on
the Messianic movement has been so great. It is such a wonderful thing Martha
did for David and so many of his admirers. I just wanted her to know that many
of us see her too and we think of that other Proverb (31:10-12) "<i>A wife of noble character, who can find? She
is far more precious than rubies. The heart of her husband trusts in her, and
he lacks nothing of value. She brings him good and not harm all the days of her
life."</i> <br />
<b>God
bless you, Martha. Your life has suddenly changed, and I pray that your friends
there in the Land will shower on you the extra love you need in these days
ahead. Love to you, Miriam, Daniel and to all your grandchildren and family.<o:p></o:p></b></span></p><p><span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">

<span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%;">P.S. In one of our conversations Martha told me
about how they downsized from their home to an apartment. David had to part
with many of the books in his treasured and extensive library. He donated the
books to the Bram Center. That memory led me to <i>a wonderful article</i> yesterday by Boaz Michael called “</span><span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%;"><a href="https://ffoz.org/discover/messianic-judaism/another-lesson-from-david-h-stern.html">Another Lesson from David H. Stern</a></span><span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%;">.” The
article recounts his experience with David when he was collecting the books
David was donating. In one lesson learned Boaz notes that David wrote out the
his vision for his life in 1970’s and how well he followed it:<br />
“</span><span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%;">Current plans: To study
Judaism, probably at the University of Judaism in Hollywood. Later to study in
Israel … More distant plans: To write on Messianic Judaism especially
programmatics and theology. And, hopefully, to be involved in Messianic Jewish
life, shaping and contributing to its future success.” As many have said in
tribute, by now the LORD has surely spoken to David, <i>“Well done, My good and faithful servant.”<br />

by Donna Diorio<br />
<br />
First, I just encourage everyone to spend some time in Luke 1 and 2, thinking
on the wonder of it all, the birth of the Divine in human skin so long ago in
Jerusalem. It is the birth that changed
everything and it is so worthy of our spending time to consider it. How
profound this event is in God’s great plan for our salvation!<br />

Also, I note that several have been getting prophetic words of God encouraging
us to press in and dig deeper —some even specifying from “December to
September” or from Hanukkah & Christmas 2021 to the “Rosh Hashanah” —actually
the Feast of Trumpets 2022. I have sensed God speaking to me to go deeper and press
in for the time is short – but with no particular time limits. For me it is
more just to the end of my days. <br />
After the death of my husband's
daughter, God has touched something in me so I am having an increased
tenderness toward all the suffering of human beings in this world. Instead of
just seeing people in rebellion, some of them unloving, full of sins and even
some openly enemies of the Gospel, God was giving me a sense of how they hurt
from their wounds in life. God was showing me that some were downright mean
because it was defensive to keep themselves from being hurt anymore. Not all would accept God’s help but many
could be rescued spiritually. That is the same thing Yeshua saw when He walked
this earth – the pain and rebellion of humanity, but also the ones that were
open to be healed by God’s love. <br />
God has been saying to me this is
also the purpose of our inheritance with all the saints in the Messiah. Our
inheritance is not just for ourselves, but for those who are in our world. We
have to have a heart for others, like His heart for them. If it was easy
everyone would be doing it. From a human standpoint this is tough! But God has sent a Way. <br />
When Yeshua knew the time was
approaching to lay down His life, He spoke to His disciples that He was going
away but He was leaving them His peace and for them not to be troubled or
afraid. Then Yeshua told them He would not be able to speak much more to them <i>"for the prince of this world comes,
and has nothing in me. "<br /></i> That phrase <i>"has nothing in
Me"</i> is translated many ways by various translators. I believe based on
the original language, King James got it absolutely accurate" "oudeis
en emoi." There was NOTHING within
Yeshua that was an open door to demons. He was not even passive agreement with
the enemy of our souls, who is satan, the prince or ruling spirit over this
world. That is why the very next thing
Jesus told His disciples is <i>"But I
do exactly what the Father has commanded Me, so that the world may know that I
love the Father."</i> <br /> Personally I realize that I cannot yet say that the ruler of this world
has <i>"nothing in me,"</i> nor
consequently, I do not always do <i>"exactly
what the Father has commanded me."</i> I would like that to be true, but I
know it is not yet the reality within me. Even the apostle Paul recognized that
he had not attained to that level, but he said he was pressing toward that
mark.<br /> But the time in the epic spiritual battle between Light and darkness, of
the demonic rebellion against God is short —not just because I am 70 and my
personal time short, but time for other people in my world is short. I must press in fervently if I want to take them
with me into eternal life.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">

by the person who experienced it, Jennifer Guetta, now a member of the <a href="https://www.kehilatporiya.org/">Poriya congregation</a> overlooking the

Points 12-10-2021</i></a> Chuck Cohen writes about the Torah portion
last Shabbat with God’s purposes that came out of Joseph’s brothers selling him
into slavery: “What a comfort and
encouragement to know that ultimately You are in control and are more than able
to work in everything to bring about Your purposes (Rom. 8:28).” He also writes “<b>The Torah portion tells the touching story
of how Joseph revealed himself to his estranged brothers </b>(Gen. 45:3). <b>In many ways this is a prophetic picture of how Yeshua is doing that
with many Jewish people today….</b> Thank You Lord Yeshua, for how often You
save Jews without anyone else around (Gen. 45:1). King Messiah, take advantage
of this time in Israel when there is a lack of tourists and continue to unveil
Yourself to Your people (Zech. 12:10; John 1:29-34; 47-51).” <a href="https://www.ifi.org.il/en/prayer/2021-12-10"><i>Read in full online</i></a><br />

to bless those we love, and why many Christians are awakening to the reality
that if we love Israel as God loves Israel, we will express it in our
generosity to sow into the salvation of Israel being expressed by the Israeli
Messianic congregations and outreaches to their own people! This is no small
thing. Where you heart is, that is where you are going to put your money. <br />

The Tiferet Yeshua shares <a href="https://www.tiferetyeshua.org/2021/12/10/salvation-stories/">Salvation
Stories</a> because in the midst of the last two years of often severe challenges due to Covid lockdowns, they are still
seeing a bumper crop of salvations in the Lord’s harvest. Part of that is
because “at the beginning of 2020, <b>we hired Kosta to our team to focus
exclusively on outreach and discipleship</b>. Since then, Israelis of all ages
and backgrounds have been reaching out to us.” When I read that I was instantly
reminded of that 1989 Kevin Costner movies, Field of Dreams with the famous
saying, “If you build it, He will come.” I mean isn’t that the same premise of
Noah building that ark on dry land all those years ago? The biblical principle
is there: if you plan to harvest, you must plant the seeds. The seeds in this
case are the people like Kosta that all the Israeli Messianic ministries have
been yearning to see financial support dedicated to so they can be even more
effective in the LORD’s harvest. It is the LORD’s harvest and He will bring it
forth. If we want a part in it, like Ruth in the days of old, we are going to
have to invest in helping in the fields of the Messianic Jews. The own the
Land, the harvest will come from their own fields – but we can really help that
along in a big way with some minor adjustments to how we think about it. If you
help them build it, He will come and fulfill it.<br />

The Katzir Youth Camp just wrapped up recently and this recap lets us know “<b>A
lot of kids are talking about feeling alone—a cavernous loneliness.”</b>
[I’m sure it is indicative of many young people at this time]<b>. </b>Joel
Jelski write they are seeing 2 significant things happening: “a hunger for
fellowship after a long time of disconnection” and “a spiritual hunger for the Lord
and the youth know that the Katzir camp is a place where they can count on
being strengthened and renewed spiritually.”
They are beginning to get feedback from the teens who attended the camp
who arrived feeling depressed and not comfortable being around people or
letting anyone love on them, to being filled with hope at how many people came
to talk and pray with them. One spoke of “developing social anxiety” and went
from feeling rejected and unloved to meeting God in the camp and knowing they
are loved and accepted. What price can we put on changing lives like that? Well
here is one price that can be paid: the ministry needs a ministry van and their
goal is to raise $48,000 for it so it can be used to serve the three annual
youth camps each year. Maybe you would like to help them with a <a href="https://www.fieldsofwheat.org/?form=FUNVEPKWHCX">Special Year End Gift

written by Shani Ferguson is always exceptionally spiritually insightful . Read
it here: <a href="https://maozisrael.org/prayerletter/prayers-for-how-israelis-handle-christmas/">Israelis
and Christmas</a>. She writes about how – crazy as it sounds – “more and more Israelis”
are being drawn to “not only ‘entering churches’ but learning about the birth
story of our Messiah—the one their culture has taught them to despise. <b>Imagine what an impact this could have on
peoples’ lives! What if the seeds planted in those peoples’ lives take root?” </b>Shani
prays: “You are the Father of Light and the greatest storyteller of all. You
have promised that Your people will be not only the source of salvation, but
that all of Israel shall be saved. You said that the Jews will be provoked to
jealousy which will lead to their salvation. (Romans 11:14) Let it be so. Let
Your spirit ignite a spark inside every Israeli visiting those celebration
sites. Let the interest of Israelis in the Christmas holiday lead them to
Yeshua rather than the commercialized side. May the word about Your salvation
be planted in their hearts and may it bear fruit for years to come.” AMEN &
AMEN!<br />
Shani also prays through Psalm 23.
You can pray along too. <br />

had such a severe traumatic brain injury he was not expected to gain

It was a true miracle recovery and when he had recovered enough to do it a year
and a half later, he wanted to be baptized. He knew God had saved and preserved
his life. That was worth more than any present ever. The Tiferet Yeshua
testimony from Menny is one of those undeniable miraculous acts of God too.</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

special person who joined Tiferet Yeshua over the summer. Recently after one of
our services, Menny walked up to Debby, Tiferet Yeshua secretary, and asked
her, “Debby, how do you know Yeshua is alive? I know He is alive because He
raised me from the dead. But how do you know He’s alive?”<br /></span><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> Over the summer we shared the amazing story of how Menny first reached
out to us. He was looking for a specific English-speaking church in the area,
but somehow God led him to us, a Hebrew-speaking congregation of Jewish
believers instead.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> When Menny first showed up at Tiferet Yeshua, he told Kosta in Hebrew,
“I am a Christian now because I believe in Yeshu the Christian”. The name
“Yeshu” in Hebrew is a derogatory one given to Him by the rabbis. Menny had
never heard His real Hebrew name. He also did not know that there were other
Jewish followers of Yeshua. Since he first reached out to us, we have had the
privilege of getting to know Menny and to hear his amazing testimony. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">
Menny often says, “What happened to
me is not normal.” We agree, but we serve an amazing God who sometimes uses
extraordinary circumstances and experiences to reveal Himself to us, like he
did with Menny.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">
<b>The day Menny died</b> | After
his military service in the IDF, Menny took a trip to the US and ended up
staying for good. In November 2014, Menny was a married father of five
children, working in real estate and construction when he started renovations
on an old Victorian building he had bought. The building had been damaged in a
fire, but inspections had found the building structurally sound for renovation.
While Menny was working over a high gable on the second floor, that section of
the building collapsed, and Menny plummeted 30 feet and was then buried under
the building debris. After being airlifted to a nearby hospital, his medical
records show that he had no signs of life upon arrival. After they succeeded to
resuscitate him, they began the fight for his life.<br /></span><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> For over a year Menny was in a coma. The way Menny describes it: “My
head was smashed apart. My whole right side is filled with titanium because my
bones shattered from the fall.” Menny woke up from the coma after a year and a
half and had to begin intensive physiotherapy to relearn how to do everything.
At least, that is what they told him, because he barely remembers those first
couple years after he woke up from the coma. During that time, Menny could not
speak. He was relearning how to swallow, feed himself, to walk. <br /></span><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> Eventually, the doctors determined
that Menny had significant brain damage and sent him to a nursing home.
Somewhere along the line Menny started speaking again. It was then he started
to share his experience, where he had gone and the person he had met—the reason
why he was still alive.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">
<b>“Your name is not in this book”</b>
| When Menny tells his story, he starts with a caveat, “Listen, I know I have
problems.” What he means is that it not as easy for him to speak as it used to
be, and sometimes he can’t find the right word. But one thing is for sure: his
memory is crystal clear. We found local
newspaper accounts of the building collapse which mention Menny by name and his
injury, and all the details he remembers are exact. <br />
While Menny was in the nursing home,
a woman minister from a local church who volunteered there started taking walks
with Menny as part of his physical therapy routine. She told him it was a miracle
that he was still alive. He then told her the real story of his miracle: <br />
<b>
“When I died, I went up into the universe, into the next world. It
wasn’t a dream. I came to a man who had an open book on a stand in front of
him. I approached him and told him, ‘My name is Menny Mor. Where do I go?’ The
man just looked at me. I knew he was the one who was supposed to tell me where
to go. So, I ask him again, ‘Where do I go? To the left or to the right?’ Then
he said to me, ‘You are not written in this book. I am sending you back to
where you came from.’”</b><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">
Menny thought that the man he saw could not be God because no one can
see God and live. But he also knew that the man he interacted with had
authority and that he saved Menny’s earthly life by sending him back
again. The minister who accompanied
Menny on these walks told him the identity of the man he had met: Jesus, the
Son of God. The Messiah. The way, the truth and the life. <b>To Menny it made perfect sense: if anyone wants to go the Father, they
must go through this man, Jesus, to whom was given all authority. </b>As the
minister continued to share about this Jesus with Menny, that He was a personal
friend and savior, Menny gave his heart to Him and discovered that His presence
was with him all the time.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">
<b>A Miraculous Recovery and Call
back to Israel</b> | Despite the doctor’s assessment that Menny had serious
brain damage, he kept improving and he was able to speak again. Before long,
Menny’s son who had come to visit him said, “Abba, we have to get you out of
here! You don’t belong here.”<br /></span><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> Menny left the nursing home and continued improving. He started driving
again after passing a three-hour test of his mental fitness. </span><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><b>His faith in the Jesus who had saved him
continued strong too, and he told his family all about it. Needless to say,
they told him to stop talking nonsense. They told him, “That’s your brain
damage talking!”<br /></b></span><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> Menny stayed in touch with </span><b style="font-family: Calibri;">the
Christian minister</b><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> who volunteered at the nursing home, and she </span><b style="font-family: Calibri;">encouraged Menny to go back to Israel: “God
gave the Land to your people. That is where you belong.” </b><span style="font-family: Calibri;">So, after forty
years in America, Menny returned to Israel a very different man.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span><b style="font-family: Calibri;">Learning the Hebrew Name of His
Savior</b><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> | After Menny returned to Israel, his minister friend continued to
stay in touch and disciple him. After the covid restrictions in Israel were
eased, she encouraged him to get connected with a local church. She sent him
the name of an English-speaking Lutheran church in the area, but the number she
sent him was our number instead. It seems that God wanted Menny to get to know
the Jewish identity of His Savior and to learn His Hebrew name, Yeshua.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span><b style="font-family: Calibri;">I talk to Yeshua all the time</b><span style="font-family: Calibri;">
| For someone who has gone through so much suffering, you would never know from
Menny’s attitude. He is happy, has a great sense of humor, is outgoing and is
full of life. He also shines the light of Yeshua. “I talk to Yeshua all the
time,” he says, “When I’m walking, at night when I can’t sleep. I talk to Him
and ask Him to help me.”</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> It is clear that Menny has a very special and deep connection with the
Lord Yeshua through his experience after the accident, but Menny is also
growing in the depth and understanding of His faith, getting to know the Jewish
side of His Savior by reading the New Testament. Last week Menny decided that
he wanted to make a declaration of his faith in water immersion, accompanied by
pastors from Tiferet Yeshua leadership team and other friends. A week later, we
asked him how he feels: “I feel new, like if I think about the future there is
nothing that upsets me. Just peace.”</span></p>

Another truly exceptional word came from Avner Bosky which you can rean on
David’s Tent. It is called <a href="https://davidstent.org/keep-your-eyes-on-the-prize/">Keep your
eyes on the prize</a>. Avner takes us through the ages when God’s people
were “holding on” in the face of oftentimes traumatic oppression. He recognizes that many of us feel the same
way about the things in the world that are staring us down right now…but Avner
brings out the redemptive purposes of God that we can count on as we hold on to
His promises.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Evan Levine of HaTikvah Project also sees the need to speak a word for
those of us feeling swamped: “Let’s not Give Up!” Our partners have
found that although they thought they were helping someone else, they

Liat Archer sends a report on their Katzir (Harvest) youth camp last week at
(wow! What a subject line: <b>I Almost Stopped Believing in God!). </b>But that is what one young believer said before the camp and
afterwards said, “Now I know God is Real!" What was the turnaround? When Liat came to
him and asked to pray for him, “I was shocked. When she prayed, it was as if
she knew exactly what I was feeling and going through in my life. Every word
she prayed was right on. I was asking myself; how can she know all these things
about me? Then I understood that God is real and knows me!" Liat writes, “Young people in Israel struggle
greatly with identity issues, pressures and so much more. They are in desperate
need of godly mentors. We are excited about fathering and mothering young
people into their God given identity and calling. We also tremble before the
Lord when we consider the responsibility and urgent need. Would you help us
reach more young adults and disciple more leaders by sharing <a href="https://www.adventive.ca/all-project-list/cody-archer/">a gift</a> with our ministry?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Another quite exceptional word from Shani Ferguson of Maoz Ministries: <a href="https://maozisrael.org/prayerletter/prayers-concerning-light-darkness-and-brokenness/">Prayers
Concerning Light, Darkness and Brokenness</a> | <b>“Permission
to be broken” was the phrase that came to me when I considered the prayer
points for this week</b>. At first, it didn’t seem to fit the motif of typical
December holiday musings. But the truth is, whether you celebrate Hanukkah or
Christmas, if you’ve had enough Decembers in your life, you’ve likely had at
least one or two that did not turn out like you wanted. What makes an
emotionally difficult December even more difficult is feeling like it is
supposed to be a good month. After all, everyone else is having an awesome
December, right? Psalm 34:18 says<i>, “The Lord is near to the broken-hearted.”</i><i><o:p></o:p></i></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Arni Klein sends a word out that really captures the anguish of looking at the
state of things in each of our nations right now. This is what was meant in the
pregnant statement by the apostle Peter about how God destroyed Sodom and
Gomorrha “and delivered just Lor, vexed with the filthy manner of life of the
wicked. That’s where we are and Arni says it well. But, Arni writes, what is
God’s purpose in all this? “God has two basic
goals: to glorify His Name and to bring forth a fitting Bride for His Son. Everything
He does begins and ends with His longing for a dwelling place in the midst of
His children. His plan and process has been in effect from the beginning. It
began with the manifestation of light…spiritual truth.. .. Only truth and
transparency in the inward parts will prepare a dwelling place for the Lord. As
some have lamented the current crisis as causing division among brethren, we
see the hand of God at work to expose division that had not been visible until
the current pressure brought it out.” He writes, “....We are hoping and praying
that there will be a window between events and that Father will give us a few
more hours to work before the night comes. On this point we have an unction to
pray and plead with the Lord imagining His response to be, <span style="color: red; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">“If

from Daniel and Shirya Yahav in Tiberias at the (Face of God) Peniel
Fellowship. The struggles were many last year with constantly changing capacity
restrictions, but they found a place in the forest where they could meet
relatively alone. “This year
we have had
the privilege to
welcome at least
seven new families
who have joined the
fellowship, and seem
to have integrated
very well. We
have also seen a
growing attendance in
the young adults
group as well
as in the
youth group. In the last youth
meeting there were
over fifty youth
present, and that
was not all
of them. We praise
God also for
several young people
who made a
personal decision to
follow the Lord and we had
the joy to
celebrate their water
immersion lately. One of them even invited his unbelieving
relatives to join the occasion. Many among us have unbelieving relatives who
have been witnessed to. We would appreciate your prayers for all of those, to
come to know their
Messiah and be
freed from the
fear of men and
from deep rooted misconceptions about Yeshua our
Messiah.” There are many more good reports in this congregation, but we will
leave you with this: Shabbat services
and short teachings with a translation into German, can be found at the <a href="https://www.penielfellowshipisrael.com/german-home">Peniel

for the coming Year 2022! <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Ron Cantor of Messiah’s Mandate sent this testimony from Eitan Shishkoff about
what great things were done with the Messiah’s Mandate donation towards the
Katzir Youth camp. (Helping each other is such a critical demonstration of love
and commitment). Eitan wrote: "During an
amazing week, we hosted 85 teens from all over Israel at our summer conference.
We chose the theme “connected” because for the year and a half of Covid19 young
people had suffered from isolation and disconnection. Our prayer was that they
could reconnect with God and each other in deep and meaningful ways. This
happened in the stark beauty of Israel’s desert, where our Patriarchs
experienced God’s transforming presence.<br /> "The
high point, on the last evening, was an incredible breakthrough and a real
outpouring of the Spirit. The speaker asked who felt lonely or isolated.
Slowly, many young men and women raised their hands. They stood in a circle,
surrounded by the prayers and love of their peers. What normally would have
been a brief prayer turned into a solid hour of ministry with intense healing
and restoration for many teens. In His love for these youth, the Lord brought
emotional and spiritual healing and renewal. It was a fresh beginning that
continues to impact all who were there." Shalom, Eitan<br /> Ron writes, “As we end this amazing year, would you please
consider making <a href="https://www.roncantor.com/year-end-campaign?form=FUNQVECUDJM">a one-time
tax-deductible donation</a> to Messiah’s
Mandate or becoming a monthly sponsor? We want to keep investing in the Kingdom
of Yeshua in Israel, helping to raise up the next generation of believers.” </span></p>

from Jerusalem</a> email (read
online. “As we

destiny with God – and for most of humanity, that will not end well. . . . For
those who trust in the Lord Yeshua, we must keep our eyes on Him (Heb. 12:2)
and recognize that so much of what is happening today has been prophesied to
take place in the days leading up to His return (Isa. 55:11; Jer. 1:12; Luke
24:44). <br />

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Guy Cohen who leads the Acco Harvest of Asher congregation writes about
Yeshua’s Timing. Many times in our lives we feel
discouraged and hopeless. We turn our eyes to our Lord for His redemption. We
ask, "Where are you and why aren't you here? When will you answer?"
That line of thinking often brings us to discouragement. Let us dive into the
story told in John 11. “Our friend Lazarus sleeps, but I go that I may wake him
up.” John 11:11. One of things that
really encouraged me personally about Guy’s teaching is his understanding that
“<b>Even within our faith there are borders; lines drawn in our understanding.</b>
For example, Martha understood Lazarus would rise again in the resurrection at
the last day. However, it was beyond the foundation of her knowledge and hence
ability to comprehend by faith that the one standing in front of her, Yeshua,
He is the resurrection and the life.”<br /> Miriam, in the midst of her travail was
full of the questions. Even Miriam, the sister so preferred as an spiritual
example, had her own borders of understanding. Guy talks about how we cannot be
stalled out by grief – we have to look forward with hope and purpose for the
future.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

Sayegh of the House of Prayer and Exploits in Nazareth sends a video with
highlights from the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZ1FclIiCws">HOPE's New
Building Dedication 22nd November</a>. If you can make a <a href="https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=G685JF4VW9BVQ">year-end
donation to HOPE</a>, they would greatly appreciate funds donated toward
their new building. Rania writes that the ministry “mobilizes
prayer and worship in Israel and the nations. We train and equip young people
through weekly meetings and annual conferences, reaching several hundred young
adults per year. We also train approximately 1000 women leaders in the land
with regular gatherings and events. HOPE reaches thousands in the nations
through speaking engagements, conferences, Zoom calls and social media. Each
month, HOPE hosts 24 hours of prayer together with the weekly worship and
prayer watches. Since the end of 2019, HOPE has experienced 424 creative
miracles and seen many people healed and delivered. “<br />
Also among critical prayer requests
Rania asks for intercession for Nazareth which “has been facing times of strife
in recent days caused by two feuding families. One young man was killed then
houses were burnt in the revenge acts. The area affected is very close to where
the first HOPE prayer house is located. Please join us in praying for God's
comfort for those who have lost loved ones, that this cycle of revenge will
stop and that there will be reconciliation and forgiveness. Also pray for
healing and righteousness to rule in the city.” </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Avi Mirachi of Dugit ministries asks, “How Will They
Hear?” He relates it to Luke 5:3 when Yeshua asked to preach in Peter’s dugit –
little fishing boat – out on the water so people could hear Him from the land.
Such an excellent example of why they are asking for <a href="https://dugit.org/how-will-they-hear/">donations</a> for their out Dugit Outreach, for the purchase of
around $47,000 USD to upgrade audio equipment.
“Our current sound equipment is outdated and severely underpowered, and
some of the pieces are no longer repairable.” It “has become difficult for all
of our members and visitors who attend to hear well during our services.” The new audio equipment would also be used
for “our weekly worship services, online streaming, conferences, digital
videos, outdoor events, youth ministry, street ministry, musical outreaches,
and other programs that reach the Jewish people with the Good News of Messiah.”

help you pray for it). They write, “This battle is raging not just in the US,
but also in Israel. Just yesterday, Israel’s Health Minister announced that
he’s introducing legislation and multiple measures to remove virtually all
barriers to abortion in Israel (even though the government already pays for
them and 40,000 take place every year!).” Please join them in prayers. </span></p>

report on the Beit Asaph congregation in beautiful seaside Netanya. “We commend to you these power-filled words
of promise and exhortation (Isaiah 59:20, 21 and Is 60:1-3) as we complete this extraordinary year. These
same two passages formed the basis of my last sermon for the year to the Beit
Asaph community. The Christian symbols of the Advent candles and the Jewish
symbol of the Hanukkiah – both holding prophetic significance. <br />
They report the weekly life groups
system and a monthly celebration service has worked out very well to preserve
the congregation in the midst of Covid through the past two years. “Children
are born and young couples push ahead with weddings. We have celebrated five
during this past year…” Also, “Two years ago as we flew to NZ for a three-month
break (supposedly) we agreed to return and begin the process of forming a team
of pastoral advisors. These younger men and women would provide wise support
for Lev and Evan and in time, future pastor(s) could potentially emerge. Of
course Covid interrupted this process as other priorities took over. Now,
finally the team has been formed and is taking its first steps…and it is
wonderful! Please keep the two David’s, Olga and Georgi in prayer for us. We
are extremely fortunate to have such gifted people serving alongside us in the
Beit Asaph community. We finish the
year, tired but very grateful for daily grace. Nothing is taken for granted and
every good thing, no matter how small, brings us joy. God willing, we will fly
to NZ on December 31 via Dubai.” God
speed.<br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><b><i><u><span style="color: #1f497d; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">

Jesus also went to the temple during the holiday. Looking deeper into where
these verses took place, I learned some new things this past Sunday morning —
some details that I never knew and some words in scripture that had just never
jumped out at me before. One of the things that I learned is that the side of
Solomon’s Porch where Yeshua often went to teach that Feast of Dedication day
is the east side, the way Ezekiel 10:18-19 says the glory will enter to fill
God’s temple. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was Yeshua’s practice to teach this
area of Solomon’s Porch and He made it a point to teach there during Feast
days: “His teaching on these occasions often started from some familiar temple
scene--the libations of water carried by the priests to be poured upon the
altar (John 7:37), the proselytes (Greeks even) in the great portico (John
12:20), etc. Of course Jesus, not being of the priestly order, never entered
the sanctuary; His teaching took place in the several courts open to laymen,
generally in the "treasury" (see John 8:20).” *</span><a href="https://avande1.sites.luc.edu/jerusalem/topics/temple-ISBE.htm"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">source</span></a> <span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">1<br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After Yeshua ascended into Heaven,
the Apostles also made it their habit to teach in the same area, in the eastern
side of Solomon’s porch. This is where the lame man was healed at the "door
.... called Beautiful" and a multitude of people in the temple ran
together to Solomon’s Porch after word of the healing spread (Acts3:11). In
Luke 24:53, he reports the disciples "were continually in the temple,
blessing God,</span> <span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">and after Pentecost (Acts 2:46), "day by day, continuing stedfastly
.... in the temple." *</span><a href="https://avande1.sites.luc.edu/jerusalem/topics/temple-ISBE.htm"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">source</span></a> <span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">1 <br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This entryway to the Temple was open
for everyone and everyone passed through to get where they were going. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Anyone could come there to learn and to teach.
It was not the “royal portico” of Solomon’s Porch that was for the king but a
common area. Elsewhere were places only priests enter, areas that women were
confined to and other areas where Gentiles could gather, as you can see above
there are two very large areas for Gentiles. But the eastern portico of
Solomon’s Porch was where everyone entered through it to get to the area they
were supposed to go. Yeshua has always been for everyone. <br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When I began to write this it
because I was considering how light is the main theme of both Hanukkah, the
Feast of Dedication and also of Christmas. I was not at all focused on the Maccabees,
but on the portions we see in the Gospels about Yeshua being the Light.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In John 9 and continuing in 10:21-24 many
things began to jump out at me as <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">relevant
to people seeing the Light of the LORD</i> in the future. <br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In John 9 Jesus had <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><u>healed a blind man</u></i> and it created
huge controversy. Then in John 10 the controversy breaks out again at the Feast
of Dedication. Yeshua continues to be accused of being an insane,
demon-possessed man. We are often thought to be crazy for our beliefs, but Yeshua
said the servant is not above the Master. If they hated Him, they will hate us
too. <br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It reminded me of the place that
Messianic Jews have been standing alone in Israel, and of the place Christians
are standing in their nations at this time. We are hated, and it is our faith
that we are hated for, truth be known. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But
in John 10:21 we find that whatever false accusations are leveled, it is worth
enduring for the sake of those who be able to see the Light because we endure
in His integrity.<br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>See what some in the crowd said of
Yeshua in verse 21: "But others replied, “These are not the words of a man
possessed by a demon. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><u>Can a demon open
the eyes of the blind</u></i>?” <br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>22 At that time the Feast of
Dedication took place in Jerusalem. It was winter, 23 and Jesus was walking in
the temple courts in Solomon’s Colonnade. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>24 So the Jews gathered around Him and
demanded, “How long will You keep us in suspense? If You are the Messiah, tell
us plainly.”<br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Of course, He had told them plainly,
but they couldn’t believe Him. As strange as it seems to us, God’s mysterious
plan was not for “all Israel” to be saved <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><u>at
that time, but in our time</u></i> – after the courts of the Gentiles have been
filled up, and the glory of the LORD returns to give Light to the blind in Israel.
It has begun and will continue to increase Jews from spiritual blindness and
Gentiles in the nations too.</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPpnjQxIwn8DQEdh7-_O8RNv5j1PlK3lOYM1-CzHtCDQvL1trCIRg1xvMXsuvqKRL7NSiNyDqj5g-Q0GEGZMGZoJlKi33-27juGV6E_2TGmminrYAXXMLTIwfcGZZjvoEt2IvZlsHRP8fW/s350/Faith+%2528350+x+194%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="194" data-original-width="350" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPpnjQxIwn8DQEdh7-_O8RNv5j1PlK3lOYM1-CzHtCDQvL1trCIRg1xvMXsuvqKRL7NSiNyDqj5g-Q0GEGZMGZoJlKi33-27juGV6E_2TGmminrYAXXMLTIwfcGZZjvoEt2IvZlsHRP8fW/s16000/Faith+%2528350+x+194%2529.jpg" /></a></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><b style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"> The Feast of Dedication seems
to me to be directly connected to the opening of spiritually blind eyes in

same message among the Gentiles. <i>I know I
had a growing desire over the last week and a half to put up a Christmas tree</i>
something we have not done in many years. I believe now it was the Holy Spirit
prompting me to do it. Jesus is surely the Light of the World, the Light that
is revealed to both Jew and Gentile. We are so close to His revealing, and we
are part of His revealing in our own lives reflecting His light.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A key part of the Christmas story is
told in Luke when Mary and Joseph bring Yeshua into the temple according to the
instruction of Moses, for the "redemption of the first born."<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is the dedication to the Lord of the first
born male that is done 40 days after birth. We are among the many who have been
made part of the family of God because Yeshua is “the firstborn of many
brethren.” <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He was the firstborn of the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">reborn</i>. <br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In Luke 2:25-35 is where </span><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">the
prophet Simeon recognized a baby only weeks old was God's Messiah. That was
supernatural. No one could see a newborn and detect a Messiah in swaddling.
Simeon prophesied over Yeshua with joy because he saw what natural eyes could
not see. He saw the Light had entered to be dedicated as the Torah required of
the firstborn son.</span><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

Christmas are both spiritual events that point to the Way, the Truth and the
Life. Many miss it focusing on other distracting things, but I want to re-dedicate
myself in this season to the plans and purposes of God in Messiah Yeshua,
Christ Jesus - that His Light may so shine that all will be drawn to it.<br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>On the morning I first began to

called, “<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">HIS GLORY FILLS THE HOUSE</b>”

It was the expectation of God <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">filling His
House with His glory</i> that jumped out at me, and it was a confirmation to me
of what I had been writing. <br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then the following morning I
received Jonathan Cahn's email of the significance of Christmas and Hanukkah
being <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">celebrated in the darkest time of
the year</i> while we are celebrating out traditions of the light coming into
darkness. <br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Today, the third day of writing, I

He had many things in it that resonated with me, but one thing Howard
wrote changed the title of this issue. He wrote, “God has left for Himself <b><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">a testimony in the traditions</i></b> of His

<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>All of us, Messianic Jew and Gentile

Messiah Yeshua/Jesus Christ are not right, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">but

Howard Bass of the Yeshua’s Inheritance congregation in Beer Sheva writes an
excellent article on Hannukkah called, </span><a href="https://www.streamsinthenegev.com/hanukkah-a-greater-than-the-maccabees-has-come/"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">A Greater than Maccabees has Come</span></a>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As I wrote above, when I read his article, it
changed the title of this issue of Arrows because I thought it was so profound
in what he saw in the flawed traditions of both Hannukah and Christmas — not
the things that believers have argued over, but the beautiful vision that God
has preserved for Himself “a testimony in the traditions of His people.” What a
giant leap forward for the whole body of the LORD to see and appreciate this
truth!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I urge you to read Howard’s

after great defilement by anti-God oppression and the folklore that rose from
the rededication of miracle provision of oil. In this day we live in the midst
of anti-God oppression and could use come re-dedication ourselves, but the oil
available to us is a true miracle, and a free gift from God through the Messiah.
Stefan writes, “ Yet we are called to stand for what is right, holy, just and
pure and to shine the light of Messiah. John wrote that the darkness cannot
overcome the light, and as the darkness grows darker, every light, even the
dimmest of them, will shine brighter. <b>When people are in darkness and they
see a light, one of two things will happen; they will either be drawn to it and
want it to illuminate them, or they will want to put it out at all costs
because it exposes and interferes with their schemes. </b>As the end of another
unstable and difficult year draws to a close, this is a perfect time to allow
the light and love of Messiah to fill your life anew. Take this opportunity to
allow His light to illuminate any darkness in your life and even rededicate it

<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">In the spirit of the light of Hanukkah, the elders of the Arad Hebrew
congregation, Hasdey Yeshua, writes about banishing the Darkness – from the children,
from the Bedouin and all “<span style="color: black; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-themecolor: text1;">darkness
from the lives of everyone to whom we minister.” They share a traditional “Chanukah
song. Its sentiments are good and inspiring but it assumes that if enough of us
work together we can banish the darkness in our own strength. Nothing could be
further from the truth. In our own strength we can do nothing, but in the Name
of Yeshua, and especially when we are in spiritual unity with the body of
Messiah, we can truly banish the enemy of our souls. Even though this is a traditional
song, sung by children, it ends on a distinctly non-traditional note, “Arise
and Shine”, from Isaiah 60. The video is in Hebrew with English subtitles: </span><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x8DKo3RaG7I">We Came to Banish the
Darkness</a><br /></span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">There was one heartbreaking story of one
of the Bedouin women they minister to who entrusted her 2 ½ year old child to
her sister. When she came back from her errand the child was dead and her
neighbors and most of her relatives blame her saying she is a bad mother. She
accepted prayer in the name of Yeshua from the minister even though she is
Muslim. She is devastated. Pray God will comfort her, show her the Light of the
world, and bring her out of truly troubling circumstances. These are impossible
places to survive without the LORD.</span></p>

immediately birthed a cry in my heart, for their eyes to open and their hearts
to speak the Name above all names – the one who IS the true Light. Lord, make
it a reality in their hearts.” Little miracles like this speak to me of how God
is moving to reveal His Messiah in Israel in such creative ways we cannot begin
to imagine.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span></p>

health report is below in the Urgent Healing Needs section) write that “it is
good to ask ourselves every so often if we are fulfilling all that the Lord
wants to do through us.” Amen. An excellent word in this day of re-Dedication.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She writes about a few instances out of her
own life “to encourage you to be quick to obey the Lord, even if at the time it
makes no sense to you. I was blessed to know I heard right from on High, and I
am determent to listen even more carefully in the future. WE ARE BLESSED TO BE
A BLESSING!”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She also wrote of an encounter with
a young woman she me who was grieving her grandfather’s death in
Kazakhstan.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Ronit writes, “those of us
who have been called to be Moms and Dads, should take it very seriously. Many
in the body of Christ, and of course pre-believers have an orphan spirit, and
need a mom or dad to speak into their lives. We all do really.” She asks
prayers for the young woman and her friend to come to know the LORD. <br />

The Maoz Ferguson Family and Sorko-Ram’s (the parents/grandparents) send
Hanukkah greetings from the Shemen Forest. They write: “Shemen” means oil, and
it is near the place of origin of the Maccabean Revolt that resulted in the
restoration of the Temple—and the celebration of Hanukkah. But ironically, this
place only received its name about a hundred years ago when Jews began
returning to Israel and purchased large swaths of land that were considered
barren by the local farmers. Apparently, it was worthless land for growing
food, but not for growing certain types of trees. Thus, after the words of the
prophet Isaiah, the place was named Ben Shemen—a Hebrew phrase for “fruitful.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>

grandkids, I highly recommend! Planting a love for God’s Word in the heart of a

Again</a> </b>has risen up against them by the religious in Sderot. “Despite
the great help that our foundation provides through the different projects that
impact the lives of so many people who depend on our love and service to move
forward, a religious sector continues to oppose our presence in the city and
tries to make us go away simply because we are not ashamed to openly announce
our Faith in Yeshua our Messiah.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Read

attacks against believers in Israel on social media and in the mainstream media.
The attack this week in the mainstream media was particularly high profile.
While it is very unpleasant when believers in Yeshua are maligned in Israel's
media, we understand that God is using even this "negative press" to
draw more attention to Yeshua the Messiah.<br /><o:p></o:p></span></p>

picture on the left</i></b> with the soldier holding up his Hebrew Bible with
New Testament was published on an IDF new site welcoming new recruits into the
army armored division. Immediately social media exploded with outrage over this
picture (note there was not outrage over a Muslim soldier holding a Koran), and
the IDF immediately took down the picture. <br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The picture on the right</i></b> with
Foreign Minister Yair Lapid from an ultra orthodox news site, bears the caption
saying "Disturbing and distressing: Yair Lapid's sister-in-law and the
connection to the 'Messianic Jews'". <br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Years ago, Lapid's sister-in-law was
a part of Tiferet Yeshua congregation and married our then worship leader.
Fifteen years ago, the couple left the congregation and has not been connected

nepotism and political intrigue involving the religious parties, there were
quite a few media articles mentioning "the cult of Messianic Jews". <br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>While it is unpleasant being labeled
"a dangerous cult" in the media, we are believing that God will use
this to cause more people to seek the truth about Yeshua and the New Testament!
We are praying Genesis 50:20 over this situation: <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">"But as for you, you meant evil against me; but God meant it for
good, in order to bring it about as it is this day, to save many people
alive."</i> <br />
Please pray:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">that God

and the Jewish believers in Messiah, bringing the slander against the truth to
nothing | that God would give Jewish believers wisdom and love when speaking
the truth about Yeshua, the New Testament and who we are as Messianic Jewish
believers in the face of this media controversy, whether it be on social media
or among friends and family, so that there would be a clear, strong and loving
voice of truth raised among believers to be a powerful witness during this time

Howard Bass of the </span><span style="color: black; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">Yeshua's
Inheritance Congregation (Kehilat Nachalat Yeshua) also writes “"The
organized anti-missionary groups are threatening Messianic ministries who carry
the gospel message with them, whether through videos, or through encouraging
late teens/young adults to know and be prepared to proclaim the message of the
gospel to Israelis, and especially if in Hebrew, and to Jewish Israelis.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is no different from what we read in the
New Testament when the gospel first went forth within Israel among the Jewish
people.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Nothing new under the sun; and,
the Scriptures are written for us living at the end of the age:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>they are relevant for us now although written
from almost 2000 up to 3400 or so years ago.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>This is the sovereign wisdom of God, who knows the end from the
beginning.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Please pray for wisdom and
courage and love (in order) to not fear man, or the one who can only kill the
body, but to fear Him who is able to destroy both the soul and body in hell.”<br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Howard also asks prayers over the
Hetzim (Arrows) pre-military training program a the Netivah ministry led by
Joel Goldberg.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is for the recent high
school graduates of Messianic families about to enter in to IDF service.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is where a large percentage of young
believers fall from faith as they must “overcome the temptations and traumas of
military life and war.” Pray for them to trust the Lord in trying circumstances
and be supporters of each other. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Gatherings of 100 are now allowed so services
are becoming easier, but still with logistical challenges. In their house
groups they are studying the book of Hosea. …they are also studying current
relevant subjects – like homosexuality and what does the Word of God say.
Howard also invites reading some of his <a href="http://www.streamsinthenegev.com/">recent website posts</a> including on
Superman, the gospel, and identity.<br />

Facts’ You Need to Know About the New Testament</span></a> by Ron Cantor.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">A great report from the Tree of Life ministries, Ariel and Shayla Hyde,
on their new round of evangelistic street interviews.
“We set up a sign saying “Does God exist? If so, who
is He? Let’s talk!” in a very public area. Not only did we get some great
interviews on camera, but our team had numerous conversations about the Lord
with many others who came by. But it wasn’t without opposition. In the middle
of the first interview, a man who was listening in started to get very upset,
then started cursing viciously and threatened to kill all of us! Surely the
enemy of our souls wasn’t happy with the Gospel spreading on the streets of
Israel!”<br /> <b>Please pray with us |</b> For more
street interviews - for God to send the right people and give great anointing,
fruitfulness, unity, protection, signs and wonders, and salvation to many! If you’d like to <a href="https://treeoflifeisrael.us9.list-manage.com/profile?u=40a1602f76ff5f4ac60936554&id=f295a321ab&e=7a827a6b65&c=5031604d34">sign up to

Pastors Najeeb and Elizabeth Atteith of the Immanuel Church and outreaches in
Haifa reflect on how when complications and restrictions come in to halt one
part of their ministry work, the LORD can turn it into an answer for them in
another area. While they have not been able to operate the Christian Soldiers
Home under covid restrictions, it has become a perfect place of worship for
Immanuel church meetings. Also while they have not been able to travel to Jordan
to minister to refugees there, they have been able to conduct Zoom meetings
with them and provide spiritual food for hungry people. They have also turned
to ministry in Armenia where there are not tight covid restrictions but many
displaced from </span><span style="color: black; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">Syria, Lebanon, and Iraq. They
are making new contacts in Armenia: “Our heart is with both local and displaced
Armenians and our desire is for them to know God’s word and trust in the Lord.
They need Christ and that is why we want to serve them.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They also were able to make contact with a
team of Armenian-American doctors making return visits to their homeland to
treat those in medical need – sharing the gospel with those doctors also, and
meeting with the American ambassador in Armenia.<br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“We always thank God for the unique
opportunities He gives us to share God’s love with those we meet.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In a couple months, we are planning another
trip to Armenia to visit and serve the children of fallen soldiers in last
year’s war. We want to prepare an afternoon of fun and joy with the children.
We will prepare some fun activities, stories, songs, distribute small Christmas
gifts and, most importantly share the message of salvation with them….<b> </b>Please
pray for this budding ministry and for the salvation of many Armenians.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>

and several meetings in Messianic Jewish Congregations. They also met with the
Tikkun America Apostolic Team. Ben writes, “Be encouraged!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Your prayers are continuing to open up new
doors. There is progress in furthering the work of alignment of the Nations to
God’s Kingdom purposes for Israel. Your financial support is what makes these
engagements possible. Would you consider a special end-of-year gift to propel
us into 2022?”<br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Here is one gem given from Ben that
will excite: “A recent 2018 report by LifeWay Research estimates that over
800,000 evangelicals in the United States have at least on Jewish parent or
grandparent. This is an astounding figure. To put it into perspective, we have
a network of about 30 congregations in North America that represents roughly
1500 people. Of those 1500 people, perhaps 10-20% are Jewish or of Jewish
descent (150-200 people!). The report indicates that the vast majority of
Jewish believers (and those who attend with a believing spouse) are within
churches and not Messianic Jewish Congregations. The Lord put it on my heart,
along with a few other messianic and church leaders, to envision how we could
best support churches in reclaiming and nurturing the Jewish identity of their
members. We believe that Jewish people that come to faith in Jesus are called
to identify and live as Jews (Rom 11:29).”<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Jerusalem Gate<o:p></o:p></i></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">A new physical entrance to Jerusalem
is being built today that Asher saw a spiritual parallel to last week and told
about in a teaching recorded November 4th. The entryway is a spectacular
stringed suspension bridge for the Jerusalem Light Rail system which is
designed artistically to resemble a harp. In fact it is being called David’s
Harp by some. There are cables appear as the strings of a harp stretching
upward toward heaven and soaring over 380 feet above the city of Jerusalem. The
bridge spans over a 3 kilometer (1.864 Miles) stretch of land at the Western
entrance to Jerusalem and it’s located where the Israeli Supreme Court, the
Israeli Knessett (Parliament) and Hebrew University sit. On the other side of
the bridge is an ancient monastery called the Valley of the Crucifixion. Plans are to build a business district center
for Israel’s high tech industry to be in this central location that already
ties together the seats of Israel’s
power and influence in its capitol Jerusalem.<br /> Wednesday and Thursday (11/3-4), while prayer walking with Betty
Intrater and some prayer partners near this site at 6 am, Asher began to see
something profoundly spiritual in this physical Jerusalem Gate, or gateway
pointing to Heaven. It excited him enough to go to video to share it on
Thursday, and it excited me enough to go through the video to get a loose but
accurate summary to share with subscribers her. This is just the gist of all Asher
shared in the video for RITG supporters. I urge subscribers to watch the video
and digest with prayerful consideration all he is saying in this message. It
certainly rings true to me, and in fact, dovetails with something the Spirit
showed me (see below) on the same Thursday that dovetails beautifully with what
Asher speaks to. The invitation from Asher is to be praying with the believers
in Israel over these things:. "We want to open that spiritual gate over
Jerusalem, because I believe it will be a blessing for all."</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><u>Summary<o:p></o:p></u></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">In Genesis 28 when Jacob sees a ladder
and angels ascending and descending to and from Heaven to earth. He saw that
and said, <i>How awesome is this place! It
is none other than the House of God and the Gate of Heaven. </i> It was not the geography that created the
opening, but it was an opening to Heaven - a place of spiritual opening and
closing - because Jacob was in Covenant with God.<br /><b> In Psalm 24:7-10 the
concept of gates and openings is developed much more</b>. Asher says in Israel they pray this
passage because it is connected to a prayer network, <a href="http://wtkog.com/">Welcoming the
King of Glory</a>, which is led by
Tel Aviv Messianic leader Avi Mizrachi.<br /> Psalm 24:7 <i>Lift up your heads, O
you gates! And be lifted up, you everlasting doors! And the King of glory shall
come in. </i>8<i> Who is this King of glory?

they are connected to us</b>. There is
something about <u>us</u> lifting up our heads to heaven, lifting our eyes and
hearts to Heaven, inviting the LORD to come - the King of Glory to come. <br />
[It is critical that Israel is
calling out for the return because speaking to Jerusalem in Matthew 23:39
Yeshua said, <i>“For I tell you that you
will not see Me again until you say, ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of
the Lord.’”</i> There is a call to
Yeshua <i><u>that must</u> come from
Jerusalem</i>.]<br />
When we pray, when we praise, when we act in
righteousness, when we believe in faith, when we speak according to the Word of
God, it is opening something in Heaven that the Presence of God, the Holiness
of God and ultimately Kingdom of God and the King Yeshua can come in to this
world. <br />
<!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><b>There are three key words: Key, Doors and Gates</b>. A key only does two things, it
closes and it opens. When we are talking about the keys to Heaven we are
talking about something spiritual. <br />
Then there is a gate and a door.
They are similar but a door opens to a smaller area and a gate opens to a larger
area. You put a gate around a city or your property, but a door goes to your
own home or something of your personal possession. There is something about a
door that is personal to you, and a gate that is wider and opening to a lot of
people. <b>There are spiritual keys,
spiritual doors and spiritual gates and we can be involved by the spiritual
principles of these things.<br /></b> In Matthew 16:18-19 we learn that <b>there
are not only gates to Heaven but there are gates to hell - things that open and
access the things of hell!</b> "17 Jesus answered and said to him, <i>“Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh
and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in heaven. 18 And
I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church,
and the gates of Hell shall not prevail against it."<br /></i><b> We have to be careful
about what we open and close.</b><i> </i>Asher suggests we pray as he does every day: <b>Lord, we want to open the gates of Heaven in our lives and close the
gates of hell. AMEN!</b> <u>Nobody else has
the keys to YOUR life but you</u>. <b>You
want to cut off the influences of hell in your life, and give access to the
influences of Heaven. We submit first of all to God: Not my will but Your Will.</b> But then when He leads us, there is a
response where He has given us keys in our life. So what we open and close in
the physical realm affects the spiritual realm.<br /> In this passage of Matthew 16, <b>it
is the earthly part that comes first: we are the ones binding and loosing.</b>
Asher equates it to a door between adjoining hotel rooms. There is the ability
to lock and unlock the door on both sides. Spiritually, as soon as you say,
"God" He has already opened the door! It is not God that is closing
the door on your life! He wants it opened, but you've got the key to open the
door on your side. <br /> This has everything to do with our
hearts. There is something we do that gives access to the influence of Heaven
or of hell to our lives. People can pray for you, but only we have the key to
open the door to Heaven on our own lives. [As James 4:7-8 affirms: <i>“Therefore
submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Draw near to God and He will draw near to
you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you
double-minded.”</i>] <br /> I am leaving good material out, but the video ends in the book of
Revelation with the keys to authority to open and close the doors of Heaven and
collectively open the gates of Heaven. Including this from Revelation 3:20 <i>Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If
anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with
him, and he with Me.</i> Revelation 4:1 <i>After
these things I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven. And the
first voice which I heard was like a trumpet speaking with me, saying, “Come up
here, and I will show you things which must take place after this.”<br /></i> Asher: <b>There is an initiative
that does not start with you and me it starts with God. He is coming to us. He
has already opened the door on His side and He is knocking on the door of your
heart</b>. Wherever you are right now, Yeshua is knocking on the door of your
heart and saying, Open, open, open, open! Then there is a fellowship, a
sharing, He is talking to you, giving you instructions. <b>This is not about you just opening and closing whatever you think. We
fellowship with Him and </b><i style="font-weight: bold;"><u>then</u></i><b>
we have direction of what to open and close. <br /></b> <b>Your heart is connected with Heaven. If you open your heart, you open a
door in Heaven, and when a lot of us together open our hearts, we open a gateway,
a gate in Heaven. One person opens a
door, many together open a gate.<br /></b> <b>For the first time in this
generation there are Messianic Jews, Christian Arabs and International
Christians in and around Jerusalem, praying together, agreeing together and we
want to open a gate to Heaven over Jerusalem. You can do that in your life, in
your city and your region, and you can agree with us for this open gateway of
Heaven to be opened over Jerusalem, which from the biblical viewpoint is the
capitol of the whole world, not just Israel.</b> I believe if we will do this
there will be an opening in Heaven that will pour out an influence, a window of
Heaven that will release the blessings of Heaven through our prayers into this
earth across the nations.[Message starts at 44:30

the same day Asher recorded it last Thursday, at 8 am in Dallas I began to
write on Facebook about something I had just noticed that morning for the first
time in Isaiah 52:8.</b> It is a passage I return to often about the time when
the "watchmen" will see "eye to eye<b>." I believe these are connected spiritual matters, hot off the
presses and important to all of us who pray for the salvation of all Israel,
the worldwide spiritual harvest and the return of the LORD.</b> The following
is what I saw when looking at the Isaiah verse again:<br />

<!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"> The promise in Isaiah 52:8 has always intrigued me because as far away
from agreement with each other as we still are, the promise seems quite
impossible. For the first time last Thursday morning, my eye was captured by
something new: "<i>Your watchmen shall lift up the voice; with
the voice together shall they sing: for they shall see eye to eye, when the
LORD shall bring again Zion.”<br /></i> The new thing that jumped out at me was the phrase "the voice"
- Hebrew 6963 qôl which can mean any voice - men, animals, or God. The most
intriguing fact about the voice to me is found in its FIRST USE in Genesis 3, <i>"And they heard the voice H6963 of the
LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife
hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the
garden.<br /></i> <b>I believe "<i>the voice</i>" that <i>the watchmen</i> “see eye to eye” with is
God's Voice</b>, because we cannot all come into agreement simply with each
other's voices. <b>Today as I consider
this, I believe that is indeed impossible and such agreement can only come when
<i>we</i> <i>are all collectively as individuals are in agreement with what God's
Voice</i> is speaking to us. </b>That is a work of God!<br /> Look at the beginning of Isaiah
52 where God speaking specifically to Jerusalem, calling it Zion: <i>"Awake, awake; put on thy strength, O
Zion; put on your beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city: for henceforth
there shall no more come into you the uncircumcised and the unclean."<br /></i> <b>Then in Isa 52:6 God identifies
Himself as "the voice" speaking to Israel</b>: <i>"Therefore my people shall know My name: <b>therefore they shall know in that day that I am He that does speak:
behold, it is I. </b></i>52:7 <i>How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of Him that brings good
tidings, that publishes peace; that brings good tidings of good, that publishes
salvation; that says unto Zion, Your God reigns!<br /></i> As the body of the LORD in the
earth, we are Yeshua’s hands and feet on earth and He is our Head, directing
our way. The feet that are bringing the good news on the mountains of Israel
are the believers in Israel: the Messianic Jews, the Christian Arabs and the
Christians from the nations <i>in one accord</i>.
These are the watchmen over the Word of God, speaking by the direction of the
Voice of God by the Holy Spirit.<br /> Isa 52:8 Your watchmen shall lift up the Voice; <b>with the Voice together</b> shall they sing: <b>for they shall see eye to eye, when the LORD shall bring again Zion. </b>There
is the timing of when it is possible for all of us to see eye to eye with God
and speak in one accord together with what He is saying – that is WHEN the LORD
shall bring again Zion. I take that to mean when the LORD restores Israel to
faith by Yeshua, Zion is returned to Israel.<br /> Verse 6, “<i>therefore My people
shall know My name...that I am he that does speak” </i> Do the Jews not know the name of God? Sure they
do. But they don't know the Voice of Yeshua is the Voice of God until He
reveals it to them: <i>"I am He that
does speak: behold, it is I."<br /></i> When Zion's watchmen and those whose feet are on the mountains of Israel
bringing the good news are speaking in agreement with "the Voice,"
this is what causes the Jewish people to hear, and know I (Yeshua) am He that
does speak: behold, it is I."<br /><i> </i><b>How
much does this verse remind you of when Sha'ul was knocked off his horse on the
way to Damascus</b><i> </i>to persecute the Jewish believers who had fled from Jerusalem?<br />Acts 9:4 <i>He </i>(Shaul)<i> fell to the ground
and heard A VOICE say to him, “Saul, Saul, why do you persecute Me?”</i> 5 <i>“Who are You, Lord?” Saul asked. “I am
Yeshua, whom you are persecuting,” He replied.</i></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Sha'ul was persecuting the Jews who believed in Yeshua <b>but Yeshua was putting Himself in oneness
with the believers Shaul was persecuting</b>. That right there is a pretty
amazing thought in itself.<o:p></o:p></p><div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: center;">

Also from Revive Israel Tikkun Global, Asher shares the he & Betty have
moved into downtown Jerusalem to an area also called “Jerusalem Gateway.” In
this <a href="https://www.ritg.org/ojerusalem02">video</a> he shares about their vision for the
year ahead, as they feel things moving forward quickly to spiritual alignment
taking place. “This current stage involves establishing a new
headquarters for RITG family here in Jerusalem.
The opportunities and the challenges are amazing. This is where we need
your prayers and partnership.”<br />

congregation – Kerem El —a northern congregation associated with the Carmel
congregation writes about the “busy and
challenging” but “fruitful and victorious” past couple of months including the
baptism of 3 men in October: “Please keep these men in your prayers!” The
congregation which has been limited in meetings due to covid restrictions, were
able to hold an outdoor Sukkot complete with a Chinese feast. “It was a very joyful evening, and we even
had some non-believers attend with their family members.” <br />
Also in Oct they taught a series of
“Believers in the Battlefield.” The write, “We felt a significant rise in the
level of spiritual attack in recent months. This is evident in our lives as
leadership, in the lives of many of our members and we've heard the same thing
from colleagues and other ministries in Israel and around the world. We felt
that it was timely and a clear direction of the Holy Spirit to teach a series
about spiritual warfare from Ephesians 6:10-18, so we did just that.” <br />
Two members battling aggressive
forms of cancer: “After this long and harsh season, they both see the light at
the end of the tunnel with one being declared cancer free, and the other seeing
very significant progress towards healing. Both of these dear people completely
surrendered themselves to the Lord during this battle, and has worked in them
and through in amazing ways in the process. We praise the Lord for His
faithfulness and healing! ALSO relaunch of the Kerem-El youth group meetings
sees a special joining together with the youth of Carmel congregation. <br />
In a prayer request that is
significant to ALL of the Israeli ministries currently, Kerem-El asks for
prayer “for provision for all the ministry's financial needs in 2022, above and
beyond what we expect, especially for the Father's Heart campaign, the ability
to hire another staff member and the annual retreat we hope to hold in 2022.”
They write, “<b><u>As we prepare our budget for 2022</u></b>, would you
prayerfully consider partnering with Kerem-El?” (DD: My emphasis added)<br />
<br />
From the Tel Aviv Tiferet Yeshua congregation, last week they “hosted a first
aid certification course for volunteers who work on the streets with Moti Cohen
in our Feed Tel Aviv outreach…. the homeless we serve in south Tel Aviv,
Israel's worst area for drugs and poverty.” Read <a href="https://www.tiferetyeshua.org/2021/11/04/first-aid-certified-the-medical-side-of-feed-tel-aviv/">First Aid

a 3<sup>rd</sup> generation Israeli Messianic Jew. Also, please watch this

Ron Cantor writes “THE CHOSEN is coming to Shelanu TV—to Israel!” Ron writes, “It's the most Jewish-friendly
representation of the gospel that I have ever seen on film. I just interviewed
Dallas Jenkins, the creator, writer and director” <a href="https://www.roncantor.com/chosen">Watch the Interview</a> . It is going to cost $40,000. We are happy to
invest in the The Chosen as they create season three. We see them as real
partners in the kingdom. These are funds well spent because Israelis are going
to see and experience Yeshua in a whole new Jewish way! <a href="https://www.roncantor.com/chosen">Learn More</a>! <br />
<br />
Lastly, Guy Cohen of the Acco Harvest of Asher congregation writes about
Hebrews 11, “a testimony of how the Fathers of the faith lived. Through their
examples of how they walked with God we, Yeshua’s disciples, can understand the
way through which we can live our lives by faith. . . . Throughout the bible we
find many examples of going forth (going out); as God commanded Abraham in Genesis 12; Lech Lecha - a command
in Hebrew meaning “go” or “leave”. I believe that the Lech Lecha for the
Believers in Yeshua here in Acco, Israel; our command to go out, is to remain
here in the land, in this area even as there is an attempt to vomit us out.<br /> Our Lech
Lecha is to stay where we are; despite testing and trials, accusation and
judgment; sticking to the flesh like tar. I believe as we are cleansed by the
blood of Yeshua; those things are washed from us and leave us with the ability
to reflect the love of God in our local community. Again, our going out is to
remain, reflecting the light and love of God. When the enemy tries to throw
dirt against you the only way to come out clean is by Yeshua’s blood and
forgiveness toward our accusers. This is what will bring the fruit; this is
what will bring revival. This is how we can reflect His love in our
communities.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal;"><b><i><u><span style="color: #1f497d; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><br />

17 Unity</a><b><br /></b></span>by Asher Intrater | October 29, 2021 | A few years ago in prayer,
I sensed the following insight. I present it for your discernment:</span></p><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The time has come for the Messianic remnant of Israel to take a place of
leadership in the greater Body of Messiah worldwide. In previous
"waves" of the Holy Spirit, different local bodies in various locations
in the world have taken leadership. Each time there was a main theme of
revelation, which led the Body of Messiah for a time. <br />
</b><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What now will be the leading
revelation from the remnant in Israel to bless the rest of the Body? The answer
is: the John 17 call for unity. This may come as a surprise to many here in
Israel. We were not expecting unity in the international Church to be such a
central message for us. <br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The last part of the worldwide Body
of Messiah chronologically to be restored is the Messianic remnant of Israel.
Likewise, the ultimate restoration of the Body in general is our unity
according to the John 17 prayer. This unity includes divine union with God,
glorification by the Holy Spirit, and the final evangelizing of the world.<br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The John 17 unity is connected to
the parable of the Olive Tree in Romans 11. The various parts of the
international Church are depicted as branches of different trees being grafted
into one olive tree. The grafting causes unity because all the branches are
grafted into the same tree. (I wrote of this John 17/Romans 11 connection in
the book The Five Streams over 20 years ago.) <br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>[Note: The Vine of John 15 speaks of a
personal spiritual connection, while the Olive Tree of Romans 11 speaks of
national historical connection. Together they speak of unity with Yeshua,
Israel, and the Church.]<br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">In
order for this unity to take place, we as the Messianic remnant of Israel need
to "adopt" the worldwide Body, the international Church.</b> God told
Abraham that he was to be a "father of many nations" (Genesis 17).
What is it called when a family takes in a child who is not theirs biologically?
Adoption. <br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>God's covenant with Abraham was that
he was to adopt the spiritual children of all nations who come to similar faith
as his, and to be a blessing to them. We as the Messianic remnant are called to
walk in Abraham's footsteps by "adopting" the international church
and being a blessing to all our spiritual brothers and sisters who believe in
our Messiah, Yeshua. <br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In order to "adopt" other
nations, we need to enlarge our hearts (II Corinthians 6:12, 7:2), embrace the
cross, die to racial pride, be healed of rejection, have faith to give to
others, understand that our calling is to serve the nations, and support the
international Ecclesia, the true Body of Messiah. <br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The international Ecclesia may be
seen as a family of families. The remnant of Israel is supposed to be the elder
brother of the family. The role of the elder brother or first-born son is to
unify the extended family. As we Messianic Jews embrace the call of John 17 for
unity, we will also embrace our own calling as the Romans 11 remnant.<br />

continual battle for the truth. His article, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Zionism is not Imperialism</b> (sorry I cannot find an online link, you
might write him for the mail). Cantor writes, “…</span><span style="color: black; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">the
truth is Jewish Zionism (Christian Zionism is based on Scripture) was not
birthed out of a desire for land. Most Jews would have preferred to stay in
Europe, if they had allowed us to live in peace. (See my web page for a
detailed timeline of Christian antisemitic acts). <b><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></b>Zionism was birthed from the realization
that the nations would never treat us fairly and would actually persecute us
without a cause. This was a concern long before the Holocaust.”<br />

that has been besieged by religious opposition for the past two decades of this
weekly prayer letter writes about the restoration that is going on in Israel
after two millennia: “<span style="color: black; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-themecolor: text1;">something miraculous is beginning to happen. We’re returning to our
possession, the land of Israel, and being restored to our families.” They tell
the story of one of their congregants who has searched for family members who
survived the Nazi years. They knew of some relatives in the US but could find
none who made it to Israel. Then recently got a hit on a DNA test that the
woman had taken years earlier. The DNA hit came from a young Israeli man who
lived in Israel in a town close by and he put her in contact with his mother
also living in Israel. “Speaking to her was like putting all the puzzle pieces
together. She was excited! Seems the Israeli family had been trying to find the
American family for seventy years and had just been talking about us...and
there I was! After seventy years of fruitless searching, the Lord restored us
in one day.”<br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There was also a great report of
praying for a Bedouin woman who could not conceive and after the prayer she
became pregnant, bore a son. They ask prayer that this will “bring the couple
and others to faith in Yeshua. There is such a contrast between the God of
Israel and the god of Islam. There is no love or answered prayer in Islam, just
a cruel demonic god who demands submission. Muslims need to be set free!”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Plus the discovery of a hidden gift for
watercolor painting that one of their women who works with the children of the
congregation discovered during the lockdown period. Now the children are really
enjoying learning this art from her .</span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">

congregation in Acco: “"Was Yeshua a good person", and if so why did
the religious leaders work so hard to discredit him? Yeshua was the Word become
flesh and He spoke nothing but the truth. The religious, knew the word and
believed they understood it's meaning. However, they not only did not know the
full meaning of much of the Word, they also used it to manipulate the people. .
. . Yeshua …explain(s): <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“Most assuredly,
I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the

is born of the Spirit is spirit.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Without
being born of the spirit, we, even believers, could find ourselves drawn into
the spirit of religion. Religion looks through the eyes of logic and resists
the spiritual side of the faith. This is why it is critical that we develop a
lifestyle where we continually invite the Holy Spirit to fill, lead and guide
us in and through all things.<br />

scripture and what God is saying and wants from us—which means I reject taking
just a "New Testament" verse making it speak for God as His 'final'
Word instead of being another layer of His thoughts on the subject. <br />
<br />
I have found that if you look closely enough, God's Word is filled with what
seem to be contradictory flat statements about specific issues. Instead of
picking and choosing the one we like the most, I believe that Scripture defines
God's intentions best, so comparing the verses that seem to contradict each
other will actually be up to the Spirit of God to "divide asunder"
what God is looking for.<br />
<br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">For
example</b>, it is made clear by Paul in Romans<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"> </b>3:9-31, see it<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"> </b>quoted
below that<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"> <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">God is making</i> <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">no distinction
between how Jews and Gentiles can be saved: it must be by faith in Messiah
Yeshua, not in living up to the law.</i></b><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">
<br />
</i><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is like there is no
distinction between male and female: both come to salvation in the exact same
way. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Like Messianic Jews and Gentile
Christians, male and female are on the exact same footing before God - no
distinction. However, male and female, like Messianic Jews and Gentile
Christians do have differences and also distinct callings before God. The
strengths and weaknesses of men and women –generally speaking—are in alignment with
the differing realms of their accountability before God. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is spelled out in Genesis 3, after the
Fall God describes to Adam and to Eve what realms of accountability men and
women will be MOST accountable for before Him. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Men will labor as Provider | Women will labor
in childbirth. Her realm of accountability is in the Family: childbirth,
children, and husband. The husband will be the “head” responsible before God
for his family, and the woman will be in godly submission to rule of her
husband, as God’s spiritual head. This is not like the perversion of headship
we have seen develop in both Jewish and Christian notions (God hinted that
would be an outcome of the Fall in saying <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">"Your
desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you.” <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></i>The wife will desire, long for and crave
her husband and the husband will exercise dominion over her. That’s not God’s
will in the relationship dynamic, He is just saying this is the consequence of
the dynamic each played in the Fall. <br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So history has shown that has been
the historic relationship dynamic between men and woman —like it or not, that
is what <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">God said although He wants
something far better</i> for those couples who will walk with Him in His desire
for them. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">He will perfect the union in
His own Design</b>. All this does not mean that men and women are on different
footing in their salvation, it just means their "job requirements"
before God are different. So the makeup of the man is different than the makeup
of a woman – that is by Design to suit the areas they are accountable to before
God. <br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>God's sense of justice and
righteousness does not "evolve" and there it is in seed form in
Genesis 3. As many times as the spiritual family of God is paralleled to a
marriage, we need to take it the different roles and callings into
consideration too. I believe the union of Messianic Jew and Gentile Christians
will also be perfected by God’s own Design – recognizing that the differences
exist for the purposes of God that each fulfill their accountability toward God
as He wants, not as they might desire to fulfill themselves.<br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I believe this equates to the
different apostolic callings that Paul wrote about in Galatians 2:8 between
himself and Peter. Peter had an anointing to minister to the Jewish people the
way of salvation; Paul had an anointing to do the same for the Gentiles. <br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yes, of course they are both Jews,
but that is how the first generation of faith in Yeshua/Jesus began - almost
entirely Jews. Now we are in the reverse situation with the current generation
of believers. The faith in Jesus for almost 2,000 years has been almost
entirely Gentile Christian, but today there are over a million Messianic Jews
worldwide, likely more. There are a couple of hundred Messianic congregations
in Israel alone. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">The anointing and
mandate - the mantle of God has already begun to return to the Messianic Jews
with apostolic effectiveness to reach their own Jewish people.</b><br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Today many Gentile Christians believe
they are the ones God has given the anointing, mandate and mantle to minister
salvation to the Jews. Like the modern woman who has to taken over the lead
role of breadwinner in a household that is minus a husband, or where her
husband does not live up to his area of accountability, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">there is an effectiveness that Gentile Christians can have in
ministering salvation to the Jews - but it is not God's ideal.</i> <br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I believe God's ideal is that Messianic Jews will minister the way of
salvation to the Jews. . .and the way that Christians will make unsaved Jews
"jealous" is by recognizing and acknowledging the mantle and the
anointing from God is on the Messianic Jews to reach their own Jewish people...
and to come alongside them in all manner of support from prayer to financial.</b></span><p></p>

Are we any
better? Not at all. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">For we have already
made the charge that Jews and Greeks alike are all under sin.</b> 10 As it is
written: “There is no one righteous, not even one. 11 There is no one who
understands, no one who seeks God. <br />
12 All have turned away, they have together become worthless; there is no one
who does good, not even one.” 13 “Their throats are open graves; their tongues
practice deceit.” “The venom of vipers is on their lips.” 14 “Their mouths are
full of cursing and bitterness.” 15 “Their feet are swift to shed blood; 16
ruin and misery lie in their wake, 17 and the way of peace they have not
known.” 18 “There is no fear of God before their eyes.”<br />
19 Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the
law, so that every mouth may be silenced and the whole world held accountable
to God. 20 <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Therefore no one will be
justified in His sight by works of the law. For the law merely brings
consciousness of sin.</b> <br />
21 But now, apart from the law, the righteousness of God has been revealed, as
attested by the Law and the Prophets. 22 <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">And
this righteousness from God comes through faith in Messiah Yeshua to all who
believe. There is no distinction, <span class="reftext"><span style="background: white; color: black; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-themecolor: text1;">23</span></span><span style="background: white; color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;"> for all have sinned
and fall short of the glory of God, </span>24 and are justified freely by His
grace through the redemption that is in Messiah Yeshua/Christ Jesus.<br />
</b>....30 since there is only one God, who will justify the circumcised by
faith and the uncircumcised through that same faith. 31 <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Do we, then, nullify the law by this faith? Certainly not! Instead, we
uphold the law.<br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" />

anti-Messianic</span><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"> (antimissionary)</span><span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">
activists, who say repeatedly that they consider Christians who present the
gospel to Jews are “worse than terrorists.” The use of counter-terrorism
terminology is standard procedure in the hysterical accusations against
Israel’s Messianic Jewish believers in Yeshua/Jesus. Demonizing believers in
shrieking accusation helps create an urgency to destroy with all haste. </span><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><br />

whose ultimate goal is to bring about the second coming to the Holy Land.”<br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Did you catch that wild leap from
the</span></strong><strong><span style="background: white; color: black; letter-spacing: -0.1pt;"> bad acts of Christian-wannabe-Jews to the Israeli Messianic believers? <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></strong><strong><span style="background: white; color: black; letter-spacing: -0.1pt;">You</span></strong> see, to the
anti-Messianic activists, there is no differentiation made between non-Jewish
Christians and Jews who believe in Jesus. To them, if a Jew believes in Jesus
he has ceased to be a Jew. It is much the same as the long standing but
erroneous belief of many Christians that it is not possible for a Jew to
believe in Jesus and remain Jewish.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There is a difference between the
followers of the Messiah/Christ who are Jewish and those who are non-Jewish
Christians and it is similar to the difference in God’s calling on male and
female. The trouble here is that by not making the differentiation of a
non-Jewish Christian passing themselves off as Jewish rabbis, the
anti-Messianic activists can whip up more persecution against <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Israel’s
Messianic Jews</i></b> <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">who are not being deceitful about their
faith in the least. <br />
</i></b><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The latest Beyneynu expose is of an America Christian
family who has been passing themselves off for years as Jewish, and not only
Jewish, but the father has been passing himself off as a rabbi. The report also
circles back to include making a native Israeli Messianic leader ‘guilty by
association’ of knowing the American family.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The Israeli Messianic leads a congregation in his birthplace and is from
a family of rabbis. Now I have known the leader in question for twenty years or
more. He loves his people, fellow Israelis, and has never hidden his faith in
Yeshua even from the hometown rabbis or city officials that govern the city.
City officials have come and gone, but they have all welcomed the humanitarian
aid provided for the needy of their town. <br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Beyneynu would like to destroy all
relationships Messianic congregations have with Israeli municipalities. They would
cut off the aid Messianic congregations give to forgotten Holocaust survivors
and poor immigrants without the any hesitancy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Anti-Messianics in Israel first stir up the religious, then they to
apply pressure to whatever group is working with Messianic Jews, which are
many. The Messianic Jews of Israel are exemplary citizens, but the continual
and ongoing hysterics among the anti-Messianics, sometimes intimidates
municipalities and organizations into dropping relationship with them.</span><br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That is what makes it all the more
urgent to address how we got here and how we defend the falsely accused,
provide necessary back up for them and stop just watching Christians morph into
a Jewish identity that is not a healthy identity for them take on and is
trickery when they present themselves as Jews to unsaved Jews. We have so much
confusion in the camp over Jewish identity because we have not taught a
scrupulous biblical differentiation in the callings of Jewish and Gentile
believers. When Christians became fascinated by all things Jewish, we did not
guide them away from spiritually unhealthy attempts to become Jews themselves.
It is like the gender confusion we see so much of today as first there is
cross-dressing, then the person tries to make themselves into something there
are not biologically. It is essentially the same identity confusion at work. <br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">How
that Works</b> | First we have the evangelical Christian pastor’s daughter who
became so fascinated by the Jewish roots of the faith that she started sitting
at the feet of the renowned Jesus hater, Tuvia Singer, who convinced her to
embrace Judaism and reject of Jesus. Singer’s teachings also convinced her
pastor father to identify as a Noahide (I assume this means rejecting Jesus,
too).<br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I don’t think it is a coincidence
that Shannon Nuszem’s testimony is in <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><u>an
exact reverse</u></i> of the apostle Paul’s in Acts 9 where Paul goes from <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“breathing out </i><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">threatenings…against the disciples of
the Lord”</span></i><span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"> to being knocked
off his high horse and asking Yeshua, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“<span style="background: white; color: #001320;">Who are You, Lord?” Saul asked. “I am
Jesus, whom you are persecuting.”</span></i></span><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> </i><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Shannon says not all
Christians are the “enemy” but she most definitely breathes out threatening to
the Messianic Jewish believers and any evangelical Christians who know that the
Gospel is meant for Jews too.<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><br />
</i><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Even without Tuvia Singer
confusing Christians who become Israel-fascinated, there are many Christians
who travel that road. Some go to a Messianic congregation and next thing you
know they are imitating the outward appearance of ultra-Orthodox and Orthodox
Jews.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It seems to me we are far past the
time in American Messianic congregations where the identity issue confusion should
put to rest with scriptural teaching: Christians are not to become Jews and
Jews are not to be Christians in Messiah. Both identities are valid and
necessary – just like male and female.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The encouragement of Christians
seeking to be supportive of Messianic Jews, to themselves present as “Messianic
Gentiles” is really not a kosher idea according to the first Jerusalem Council
(Acts 15). Perhaps some of these cases of Christians deceiving Jews into
thinking they are Jewish would not be taking place if we started having “the
talk” with Christians in the early stages of transforming into appearing to be
Jews. It may not create big problems here in the US, but it surely does create
major repercussions for the Messianic Jewish community in Israel and we have
some accountability for that. <br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In the most recent case of a
Christian passing himself off as a Jewish rabbi, the man and his family moved
from Michigan, to Houston, to Phoenix.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>In Houston he was the director of the Kashrut organization that does Kosher
oversight and certification!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Beyneynu
became suspicious of them in the process of scouring the internet for
Messianics…just like counter-terrorism groups do in search of potential
terrorists before they go operational. Beyneynu wants to root out any Messianic
believer who potentially could try to immigrate to Israel.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So in scouring the web they came
across an event featuring the (Dawson-Isaacson) family who touted their
connection to an Israeli Messianic leader saying they had <span style="color: #272727; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">“the
privilege of working with”</span><span class="font"><span style="color: #272727;"> </span></span><span style="color: #272727; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">him involving
“humanitarian aid.” They also claimed he was a “close family friend.”<br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Messianic leader named told me
that “</span><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">my last contact with them was 8-9 years ago.” He also told me that
he emphasized to them that “salvation does not come from converting to Judaism”
and not to renounce Yeshua to fit in among Jews. </span><span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Shannon Nuszem
also find fault with the Messianic Jews providing humanitarian aid to Israeli
Holocaust survivors calling it “Deathbed Evangelism.” She see evil in the good
works of those seeking to feed Holocaust survivors the 1/4<sup>th</sup> of
Israel’s Holocaust survivors living below the poverty line. Shannon accuses
Messianic ministries, who almost all provide humanitarian aid to Holocaust
survivors as seeking “</span><span style="color: #333333;">to take advantage of
the elderly who are vulnerable, fearful of death, and feelings of loneliness in
order to convert them to Christianity in their dying days or even last
moments.” <br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These are evil accusations and an outright
lie in my knowledge of twenty years of associating closely with Israeli
Messianic ministries. </span><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The Israeli Messianic Jews are not living deceitful lives instead they
are open books – <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“living letters” </i>of
Messiah’s love for the Jewish people.<br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I know we have all heard the urban
legends of the great many Jewish rabbis in Israel who “secretly” believe in
Yeshua but just don’t want to reveal themselves lest they get kicked out of
their congregations. Personally, I have <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">never</i>
believed in this and in fact think it would be an incredibly deceitful way for
anyone to live in any honest measure of faith in Yeshua. The Israeli ministries
I know of, not one of them live in closeted existence which is a betrayal to
God and man of hiding their faith. They are openly believers in Yeshua, and
willing to share their faith with any who are seeking to learn of Him.<br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Which brings me to another point of
Christian confusion in the camp about Jewish identity: In researching to write
this article over the past couple of days, I saw a news article about the first
Christian Shannon Nuszem blew the whistle on for false impersonation of a
Jewish rabbi. The man was sitting on the TV set of an American prophetic
figure. I have many questions about how this all unfolded, but one thing that
was reported was that the prophet’s ministry had been donating $500 a month to
this Christian posing as a Jewish rabbi. <br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Did the prophet think the man was
really Jewish, a “secret rabbi” or did he know he was a Christian posing as a
Jew? I don’t have the answer to that yet, and whether I ever get a direct
answer on that question, this is one thing I do know: far too many Christians
assume that they can sort out who to financially support in Israel and it is
pretty clear most do not have a clue. If they did, they would be supporting the
leaders of the body of Messiah in Israel and consulting with them <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><u>any</u></i> time they considered giving
regular support to someone in Israel. <br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>All the statistics show that
Christians financially supporting things in Israel are supporting the Israel
Messianic Jewish believer ministries <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">the
least</i></span> <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">—by far.</span></i><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Not only would we stop supporting
people who are operating deceitfully in Israel (and I can think of other
examples over the past years <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">including
outright conmen</i>!) but also we would not have Christians aligning themselves
with nationalist-religious settlers who indoctrinate Christians to think of any
Jew in Israel who believes in Jesus as belonging to “a cult” and/or being “an enemy
of the State of Israel.” That is what they did recently when they convinced a
high-profile Christian supporter of Israel to condemn the Messianic ShelanuTV
network all the way to then Prime Minister Netanyahu’s office. It consequently
forced the cable TV network that approached the Messianics in the first place
to pull the plug on airing their own channel in Hebrew. Her anti-Messianic
campaign stopped the Gospel in Hebrew from airing on Israeli television. An
America Christian woman did that and she thinks she did God a favor.<br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">It
is not a crime in Israel to believe Yeshua is the Messiah</b>. These are issues
of identity confusion and we need to do better.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span><u>This is only the first article I will be writing on this issue</u>.
There is a lot of ground to cover and I hope both Christians and Messianics take
those issues to heart — especially for the sake of the LORD’s body in Israel.<br />

Since Carolyn Hyde has been sharing the dreams and visions God has given her on
various platforms, she writes that many young Israelis contact her to share
their own dreams and visions. Her example is giving them freedom and sure sound
like a prophetic promise we all know:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Acts
2:17 <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">In the last days, God says, I will
pour out My Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your

because it comes natural to the young to </span><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="background: white; border: none windowtext 1.0pt; color: #494949; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-border-alt: none windowtext 0in; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; padding: 0in;">metaphorically speaking</span></i><span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;"> dream dreams, but as we age we tend to dream dreams less? It is
wonderful to know that in Messiah, we never get too old to have dreams of the
future.<br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Carolyn shared a couple of divine
encounters they have had recently in Israel. It is also good to know that if we
go out in our life with an expectation that God is directing our path to people
He wants us to touch, that we will surely encounter them. Spiritual
expectations are like a petition before God to make things happen. A BEAUTIFUL
but “messy intercession” Carolyn relates about an accident that involved

our faith in Yeshua our Messiah in Israel is through humanitarian aid. Most of

antisemitism, their view is distorted. Our goal is to show them the true face
of the Messiah. They understand that we are Messianic Jews and our donors are
mostly evangelical Christians who love the Jewish people. This becomes a

The Beit Immanuel congregation is beautiful seaside Jaffa sends an outstanding
testimony from one of the men in the congregation that pastor Aleksey
Raikhstadt had an alarming vivid dream about. The very next day the man was
rushed to the ER with “<span style="color: black; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">excruciating pain in my neck,
accompanied by a severe headache. The pain soon became so unbearable that I
started vomiting and losing control of my senses.”<br />
In the hospital he learned that he had a stroke and ended up staying 4 days for
observation. While there he was tended by a young Arab nurse who had been a
believer fur became disappointed and lost faith. He was able to minister to her
spiritually as she was ministering to him as a nurse. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The man Pedro writes, “<b>As most Israeli
believers will agree with, there's never a dull moment in Israel and a battle
rages 24/7 in the spiritual realm which can sometimes exhaust and overwhelm
ministers and pastors in the Land.” </b>This is no joke as anyone with any
degree of spiritual discernment who has been to Israel can testify to: the
spiritual heat is really burning much hotter in Israel! <br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But God is doing great things among
the Beit Immanuel congregation as many citizens are brought into their

Tikkun Ministries, as well as their son Benjamin and wife Lorena, as Ben heads
the American ministry branch of Tikkun (this is both in building up the Tikkun
US network of Messianic congregations, but also in development of relationships
with US churches wanting to understand God’s plans for uniting Jew and Gentile
in the Messiah. As such, Ben and Dan have released an itinerary beginning Oct
29 and running through Nov 17 of conferences and churches they will be involved
with mostly together. Please pray for their effectiveness in all these
endeavors.<br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Also Dan gives a report on the
Jerusalem congregation, Ahavat Yeshua, where Dan serves as an elder and mentor,

under the leadership of an eldership. Because of Covid they had to divide the
congregation into three parts - areas of Jerusalem where lived could gather

meeting in the park every couple of weeks also keeps them together. He writes, “…the
sub-communities are flourishing and experience great joy together. We are
believing that we will come out of this COVID period strengthened as a
community. “ <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As much as I love the generosity of
humanitarian ministries doing outreach among unbelievers, I am <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><u>partial </u></i>to those ministries who
recognize the pressing needs of our own spiritual brothers and sisters in

all the benefits and privileges that entails. I am wondering if the Interior
ministry will comply with the law. Also another twisting of facts happened

<br />
A good example of why I question the Interior Ministry actions is how they deny
citizenship (and things like the medical benefits that come with citizenship)
to non-Jews married to Israeli Messianic Jews. It is a way to try to force the
family to leave Israel “voluntarily.” It is coercion that I have known put
against MANY of the Israeli believers over the past two decades and the Interior
Ministry is a stacked deck bureaucracy against the faith of Jews in Yeshua.
This is a prayer priority that showed up in one of the ministry letters this
week – another of the highly effective evangelistic ministries. <br />
<br />
From Rachel and Gilad Netanel a ministry letter brimming with the great
connections made with Israelis from their Ein Kerem home, a house of hospitality
and sharing faith that draws people like the magnet of love always does. But
they are also in urgent need of support, Rachel writing, “<span style="color: black; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">Due to Covid, many supporters are struggling, and
our monthly support has been reduced significantly.” She asks prayer for their finances
– they really need help. “It is especially during this time of Corona when the
Israelis are not able to travel that we now have so many more opportunities to
invite people to our home, but we need God’s help and yours to be able to
continue.” They also have a ministry house in Zukim, where they travel to
minister to people in a different region of Israel. People are drawn to them,
hear their testimony and the Gospel, lives are changed forever. This is good
soil to <a href="https://www.ritg.org/beit-netanel">plant seed</a> in.<br />

Adonai Roi congregation and <a href="https://www.dugit.org/">Dugit</a>
Messianic Outreach center has been leading gospel outreach to Israelis in Tel
Aviv. Avi writes, “"I know you believe in what we are doing here in
Israel. ... Of course, the past twenty months or so have brought certain
challenges to the way we minister." Govt restrictions forced them to
reverse their outreach and distribution, taking the aid to the homes of
families and ministering the Word over the internet instead of in their
congregation. But Avi believes the face-to-face type of ministry they do every
day in their coffee house ministry is a powerful way to see lives changed. It
must be! Recently we wrote about how anitmissionaries have targeted the HaOgen
coffee house! Avi is not letting the opposition intimidate them into drawing
back, in fact, this week he writes and appeal for more financial support for
the outreach, so they can put two more evangelists on salary and keep the doors
of the coffee house open full time to reach even more in need. It takes a
donation commitment to make this sort of increase, and that is where Christians
in the nations are those who need to step up to meet the need. If not us, who? <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

</span>Avi also writes about the increased need for needy families seeking
their assistance. "Our Distribution Center is serving 40% more families
than we ever have before—and if we had more resources, we could reach so many
more!" He writes, "Right now I am praying that the Lord would speak
to friends like you to become monthly partners with us. We need an additional
$10,000 every month in commitments to hire the evangelists we need and help
feed the hungry families coming to us. Your gift of any size would make a
difference—$30 a month, or if you can do more, $75 a month. "</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">

I was granted this
as a descendant of those Jews who were cast out of Portugal over 500 years ago;
my ancestors. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Very prominent in my mind
were the blessings and cursings of Leviticus 26.” He notes, “Throughout
Portugal today, there are many descendants from among the Jews that at the
beginning of the 14th century were called, the new Christians…. There are many hidden
Jews in Portugal today. Hidden from others and also hidden from their own
roots.<b> </b>God knows who they are and He has promised to bring them back, to
Himself and to the land. The cry of my heart is that they will hear His voice
and come to know Yeshua as their personal Savior and Messiah; their true
inheritance. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>May the promise in
Leviticus 26: 44-45 come to fruition. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Yet
for all that, when they are in the land of their enemies, I will not cast them
away, nor shall I abhor them, to utterly destroy them and break My covenant
with them; for I am the Lord their God. But for their sake I will remember the
covenant of their ancestors, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt in the
sight of the nations, that I might be their God:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am the Lord.’ ”</i></span></span></p>

Just think, during a
10-day period starting on Yom Kippur, they reached 2.5 Million Gospel views in
their online evangelistic campaign. I cannot stress to you how CRITICAL it is
in Israel to be able to reach Israelis in the privacy of their own homes, on
their own computers and phones. Many consider online resources to be the lowest
level of reaching people with the Gospel, but this is not so in Israel. It is a
Divine resource for such a time as this! Please pray for their new Street
Interview series which will ask “<span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">some
of life’s most important questions, like, “Does God exist?”, “Is there absolute
truth and is it knowable?”, and many more - with the goal of always steering
the conversation ultimately to the Gospel.” They are planning the last week of

Or a businessman who has been cheating his clients out of money for years
(think Zaccheaus), suddenly finding himself in a jail cell. He finds God, he
finds mercy and he vows to pay back everyone he has robbed. That's the
revelation of God's faithfulness and his mercy. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You may not be an alcoholic or a corrupt
businessman, but we all have areas where we struggle. And the good news is, if
we will put our trust and hope in the Lord, his mercies are new every morning.”<br />

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">In his ground-breaking 1989 book on
spiritual warfare, Francis Frangipane noted that not only is the spiritual
battleground taking place in our minds, but "the essence of spiritual
warfare is in who shall define reality: the Word of God or the illusions of
this present age."</b> <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Israel has been in a spiritual battle against the illusions of the
enemies of God's Word from the moment the nation was birthed again in a day.
"Can a country be born in a day or a nation be delivered in an instant?
Yet as soon as Zion was in labor, she gave birth to her children." Isaiah
66:8 <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>From that point of the re-birthing of the Israeli nation in 1948 to this
present worldwide darkness of 2021, Israel has been in a continual spiritual
warfare with those who are in agreement with hell against God's Word about
Israel's restoration. But how did we in the rest of the world get here to this
place where reality is just a matter of subjective feelings and where no place
is found for facts?<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>As Frangipane put it in The Three Battlegrounds, "whatever a
society agrees upon and established through consent, compromise and constant
use will ultimately define reality to them....All spiritual warfare is waged
over one essential question: Who will control reality on earth; heaven or hell?"<br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>To gain any ground on the spiritual frontlines
of the battle, we have to become fervent in our agreement with the Word of God
—including His Word about Israel. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">My Truth</b> | Almost as soon as
I heard the trendy "my truth" and "your truth" I hated it
and began to speak out against it. Why? Because there aren't different versions
of truth, but <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><u>the</u></i> truth stands
alone. The truth is what the facts are, not bendable to suit a diversity of
subjective feelings, but immutable —unable to be changed without exception. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The popularized ploy today is that if someone just FEELS something is
so, even in opposition to the FACTS, the TRUTH, the REALITY, that is enough disregard
the facts, the truth and the reality of any situation. It is a ruse that allows
injustices to prevail in our society. One could call it "lies from the pit
of hell" but so many in our society are quite willing to acquiesce to the
skullduggery. Even believers seeking the path of least resistance are willing
to compromise to accommodate more comfortable lies.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>“My truth” is in reality the pathway to institutionalizing INJUSTICE. If
all I have to say is, 'My truth is that you are mean to me and should treated
badly for it,' then accusation is elevated to the same level as facts. Facts
then can be disregarded and even banned from the debate because it
"cruelly" ignores someone's <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><u>feelings</u></i>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>All that matters now is what someone FEELS to
true, regardless of trivial things like facts or reality. That's the world in
which we live and it is deeply absorbed into our society already. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

</span>This battle for reality is not just on a political level, it permeates
everything today like the invasive Kudzu vine that overwhelms everything in its
path. It is a killer, starving every other living vegetation out including
trees. That is the same with this “My Truth” ploy. All sorts of seemingly
normal people have accepted subjective feelings trumping objective facts. It is
no longer necessary to judge matters from the position of fact-finding because
reality - the facts - just does not matter anymore. Only the emotions of
accusers matter.<br /><br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Kamala’s
truth</b> | This week an email arrived that is a perfect example of how
subjective "my truth" is devoid of all truth. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It contained an article out of Israel titled,
"<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Here's My Truth, Kamala,</i>"
and detailed an encounter at George Mason University last week as the US Vice
President spoke to students there. It is important when VP Harris makes
statements about her thinking on Israel because few Americans believe Joe Biden
is mentally well enough to make it through his whole term as president.<br /><br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>An Iranian-Yemeni student addressed
Kamala saying "just a few days ago there were funds allocated to continue
backing Israel, which hurts my heart because it's an ethnic genocide and a
displacement of people, the same that happened in America, and I'm sure you're
aware of this." <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Kamala Harris said "she was 'glad' she had raised the subject,
before adding, 'this is about the fact that your voice, your perspective, your
experience, your truth, should not be suppressed and it must be heard,
right?"<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The accusation that Israel is guilty of ETHNIC GENOCIDE is a FALSE
ACCUSATION but instead of calling that out, the Vice President of the United
States raised the student’s feelings to an equal standing level of the FACTS, the
TRUTH, and REALITY. Instead of dismissing false accusation, Kamala Harris gave
those "feelings" —nothing but a narrative — a platform of relevance.
Now the Iranian-Yemeni student may well believe with all her heart in the lies
she has been indoctrinated to believe all her life about Israelis, but her
feelings do not make the lies factual. This is the problem. Our societies are
now operating on competing narratives and as Isaiah 59:14 puts it, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">"So justice is driven back, and
righteousness stands at a distance; truth has stumbled in the streets, honesty
cannot enter." <o:p></o:p></i></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">When the authorities over us
cannot separate the reality from mere accusations, injustice will prevail.</b>
It is important that those of us who follow Jesus to never consent or comply
passively without protest to the "my truth" movement. If you do, you
will completely lose your discernment in all matters and injustice will most
certainly follow. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Israel is not a side issue to all
the chaos and injustice we see going on in a world overtaken by falsehoods and
perverse thinking.</b> <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In fact, it is my
belief that if those who call on the name of the LORD would get their thinking
in agreement with God about Israel, that other areas in disagreement with God’s
Word that have become strongholds in our thinking, would also begin to be transformed.
<br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I believe this because the closer we
get to God's redemption of <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><u>all Israel</u></i>,
the more central Israel becomes in all of the spiritual warfare we face on
every level. This is because Israel is not only the world’s “canary in a coal
mine” but Israel is also a measurement for God. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He says He will judge the nations <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">by how they have treated Israel</i>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What is happening in the nations today <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">could very well be</i> the nations being
plunged into <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">the valley of decision on
Israel and the validity of God’s Word</i> as the final word on every issue of
life. Are not ultimate decisions being made now for the ultimate Divine
judgment that is coming?<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

to the street people of Tel Aviv – outcasts of society, broken in sins of
addictions, but souls they are there to reach out with food, clothing, first
aid and the Gospel. They ask prayers for one transgender who has often been
violent on the streets…but who is softening towards the volunteers at Aviv and
is listening to the Gospel. Pray for “Tom” to awaken to salvation. The ministry
letter also tracks several men who have been in the Beer Sheva rehab – some to
success, some not…also victims of sexual abuse in their Women’s shelter, also
in Beer Sheva. It is difficult ministry work, but the lost are being saved.
Please pray for them and consider <a href="http://www.avivministry.com/">donating</a>

let our love grow cold – which we are seeing so much of in the face of covid
and all that has gone with that in dividing people from people, families from

best way to respond. “<span style="color: black; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">Daily, I watch the videos of
the violence around the world, rights being taken away and lawlessness
prevailing. I am sure we all watched sadly Afghanistan falling into the hands
of the Taliban, and now seeing videos of bombing killing hundreds in that
nation…. in my heart, I think we need to look at reality. And the reality that
I am talking about is what is our role as believers. . . . in a world where the
love of many is already growing cold, we have an opportunity as followers,
disciples, believers in Yeshua to show love where there is none. Give love when
it is hard to do. And be in love with the One who made us…. Israel is going
through the same thing as the rest of the world. There are arguments and
“discussions” (on a higher decibel level), and broken relationships. One
faction does not like the other, and there seems to be no impasse. But, God is
STILL in charge, and He is here if we call upon His Name.”<br />

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Ron Cantor tells about Passover 2006, <a href="https://www.roncantor.com/post/the-day-a-terrorist-murdered-my-cousin-17"><span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">The day a
terrorist murdered my cousin</span></a>. <br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Also, he shares his personal story
of resistance as a Jew to Jesus.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“<span style="color: black; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">In my community, faith in Jesus was not merely
unacceptable—it wasn't even on our radar. Until my best friend's salvation, I
had lived 17 1/2 years free of ever even being asked to consider Jesus.” I wish
I had a link to this because it is quite interesting for those who are
unfamiliar with the history of anti-Semitism of many of the church fathers. All
that to say, “Now you can see why it is so important for you to support Shelanu
TV as we communicate the truth of who Jesus really was as the Jewish Messiah to
the people of Israel. <a href="https://www.roncantor.com/shelanu">Shelanu TV</a>
is the only 24-7 Hebrew language digital TV station in the world. We work with
believers all over Israel, helping them to make high-quality gospel content.
More and more Jewish people are beginning to see the gospel in its original
Jewish context from the mouths of Hebrew-speaking Israelis! …. Without your
gifts and support and your powerful prayers, we would not be making the impact
that we are making.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Evan and Maala Thomas of the Beit Asaph congregation in Netanya are drawn to
Joel this week (as was I!) They also see the Corona-struck world as being in
the “valley of decision” and how it has become a major dividing point in
families, nations and even congregations. They urge prayers for especially the
divisions between believers over covid-related issues: <b><span style="color: black; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">Corona
and government policy has split the Body terribly. The vax/anti-vax issue is
dividing families, congregations and the nation. We are bombarded with so much
confusing information and fear-mongering and of course the inevitable
governmental policy of pushing vaccination as hard as possible while employers
increase pressure on employees to comply. All these things and more are making
congregational life and pastoral work very challenging. We are witnessing a
‘falling away’ from fellowship life in many parts of the Believing community
and some congregations showing significant signs of disintegrating…even those
that have previously been very stable and impactful in their regions. Please
make this a major priority in prayer.<o:p></o:p></span></b></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Also they are asking prayers over their
deep concern about the Iranian race to produce weapons-grade uranium and “<span style="color: black; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">support of extremist groups hell-bent on making the
world unsafe.”</span> They also ask for prayers for rain in Israel. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In good reports, their life groups are working
well, their monthly Shabbat meeting together is blessed, children’s youth
activities flourishing. </span></p>

neighboring country, with our Revive Israel/Tikkun Global team, our friends at
Watchmen for the Nations, some 50 Arab Christians from around the Middle East,
and another 50 international participants.<br /> We stayed in tents in the desert - tabernacles. (Okay, okay. It was more of Glamping – glamor
camping – and not so primitive. But still, you know, symbolically and all that…)
We did jeep rides, hiking, campfires, prayer, prophecy, praise, testimonials,
and devotionals. And a lot of eating together. We could feel the “global
Abrahamic family” taking yet another step forward. Please see the video summary of the gathering,
<a href="https://www.reviveisrael.org/videos?wix-vod-video-id=2FJO7FTJBOk&wix-vod-comp-id=comp-kkysqps6">linked here</a> with me and David Demian (24:54
video).<br /> Back home in Israel, the fall holy days are over. We are looking to what
God has for us in this next stage. As
Betty and I have moved into downtown Jerusalem, we can feel a spiritual
alignment taking place. Things are
speeding up quickly. We need to stay in the “eye of the hurricane.” Earthly
Jerusalem is lining up with Heavenly Jerusalem.
The heavenly kingdom is getting ready to come down upon the earthly
government. We are believing together
with you for God’s will to be done on earth, just as it is in heaven.<br /> As we have finished the yearly cycle of Torah readings, and are starting
over this week with Genesis One, I can’t help but feel that the Lord’s plan is
progressing even as it was designed to do so, from before the foundations of
the earth. God put us in the Garden of Eden and told us to be fruitful and
multiply. The plan has always been to have a worldwide Garden of Eden, filled
with people who have been transformed by the love of God, as demonstrated by
Yeshua’s death for us on the cross. Don’t be discouraged. This is the best time
in the world to be alive… and to be serving the Lord. Despite horribly
difficult challenges around us, this season is a great opportunity. So many good things are happening. Get up and
go for it. All our love in Yeshua, Asher and Betty</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;"><a href="https://www.reviveisrael.org/post/god-s-destiny-for-arabs-and-jews"><b><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">God's Destiny for Arabs and Jews</span></b></a> | by Asher Intrater | Each time we
meet with Arab Christian leaders, whether locally here in Israel, or in the
context of Global Gathering, there are new levels of revelation about God's
destiny for Arabs and Jews. At one Gathering in Jerusalem, an Arab pastor
pointed out that there were only 4 people in the Bible who were given names
before their birth: Ishmael, Isaac, John the Baptist and Yeshua.<br /> He saw a parallel between Isaac and Yeshua, and therefore a parallel
between Ishmael and John the Baptist. In other words, the destiny of the Arab
Christian community was to pave the way for end times revival, the Messianic
remnant in Israel and the Second Coming, in a similar way to which John
prepared the way for Yeshua's first coming.<br /> <b>Focusing on the Positive</b> |
There were many sins and mistakes in the personal biographies of our
forefathers, including Hagar and Ishmael, and Abraham and Sarah. Despite these
sins and mistakes, God still has a destiny for the Jewish people and also for
the Arabs. We have a great challenge to look past the negative histories of our
peoples in order to find God's positive destiny for each.<br /> Even the thought that the Arab peoples have a positive destiny is
scandalous to some of us as Jews; perhaps in a similar way that the destiny of
the Jewish people is scandalous to some Christians and Arabs. The destiny of
Ishmael and the Arab peoples is connected to the Jewish people because of the
Messianic covenant that came through Isaac. Messianic Jews and Arab Christians
need one another.<br /> <b>Pre-destined Plan</b> | Ishmael
was circumcised into the Abrahamic covenant before Isaac was even born. God
promised to bless him; and named him before his birth because He had a
pre-destined plan for him. One Egyptian pastor shared with me that Ishmael, and
therefore the Arab peoples today, were destined to be Isaac's protective
"big brother." Ishmael was strong, warrior-like and prosperous.<br /> <b>Today's Arab Christian leaders
are beginning to see a divine calling in partnership with the Messianic Jewish
community in Israel, and to recognize God's covenant purpose for the nation of
Israel</b>. Let us remember that in every nation, <b><i>God's destiny is not found in the
"unbelieving majority" but in the "believing minority."</i></b>
This is true for Europe, for Asia, for America, for Africa, for the Arabs and
the Jews.<br /> The Arab peoples have a positive destiny that was pre-destined by God.
That destiny is not found in Islamic extremism or politics, but in the Christian
Arab community; the born-again, Spirit-filled, Bible-believing remnant found in
each nation. We are in covenant with them through our mutual faith in Yeshua,
and we believe they will stand with us and our nation in the difficult times
ahead.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;"><b>PLUS </b>| Each time we meet with Arab

fairly exciting new developments</a> | “The world is going through intense
birth pangs. We are also in the process of giving birth – to three new babies.
I believe that these opportunities are worth sowing into. Here they are. Pray
with us as to what God would have you do in terms of standing with us in
bringing these babies into full birth.” <br />
<b>The
'babies' names are ‘Shtetl Dreams’ – our new musical recording project</b> –
nine songs, some very old, some old, some new. Four of them are in Yiddish, one
in Quebecois French, one is Jewish reggae, one is a song that Rachel wrote when
she was 18 with the Star of David Singers . | <b>Translating ‘Israel the Key to World Revival’ into Polish</b> | Avner’s
foundational book (IKWR) lays out the sweep of Biblical teaching on the Jewish
people, their calling and gifts, their successes and failures, their future
both difficult and amazingly glorious, and their indispensable role in the
establishment of world revival. Messiah’s return and the establishment of His
glorious throne in Jewish Jerusalem. <b>|
Filming the Ezekiel 37 Institute course in English</b> | Over the past five
years we have developed the E37 Institute courses in Hebrew – a training for
Israeli believers based on the prophetic vision in Ezekiel 37:1-14. We have taught
this course in Hebrew three times (Jerusalem twice and once in Beersheva). The
time has come to make this course available in English on the internet. <i>Get

Israel Pochtar or Beit Hallel congregation and Voice of Judah ministries sent
some excellent video & article links, but first: <b>Donna</b>: I had to miss Israel Pochtar banquet event on the
night before, so I was blessed and delighted Shabbat morning to finally meet
and hear this dynamic Ashdod pastor, Israel Pochtar at Baruch HaShem
congregation in Dallas. It was a real joy to get to meet someone whose
prayer/ministry letters over the years have been such a blessing and
encouragement. He is an on-fire with the Holy Spirit man of God, running the
race with all his might to see “all Israel saved.”<br />

those Messianic believers whose who life is a living love letter from Yeshua to
the Israelis she crosses paths with in everyday life. This is way more
effective in Israel than is given credit for (probably would be true of our
witness anywhere in the world if we didn’t consider evangelism the “job” of
professionals). Ronit begins the letter by saying how hard the holidays are for
her being so far away from family, but then she talks about how the people she
interacts with regularly in her neighborhood responded to her birthday last
month – independently acting to bless her in such a show of appreciation for
her kindness that many people even surrounded by family would be jealous
of. Like Psalm 68:6 says, <i>“</i><i><span style="background: white;">God sets
the lonely</span> in families.” </i><span style="background: white;">Ronit is always about her Father’s
business, drawing new “family” members into the spiritual family through her
living witness. <br /><br />

</i>Ron Cantor writes, “Jewish outreach in Israel is not easy. It takes
patience, tenacity, compassion, and boldness. We are fighting against powerful
demonic forces desperately seeking to keep the Jewish people blind (Rom. 11:25)
to Yeshua's love. But we know that these blinders are being removed more and
more every day…and we are seeing fruit! Ron’s recent emails telling the story
of ShelanuTV – <b> From Outcast to
Digital Success: Shelanu’s Surprising Journey – </b>is really an amazing and interesting story. You
should email and ask him to send you
the 9/28 and 9/30 Shelanu emails because those two emails will tell you just
about everything you need to know about this groundbreaking outreach in Hebrew
to the Israeli people. <br />

Cody and Liat Archer with their young children are in Alberta, Canada where
Cody is from visiting family and getting some much needed Rest & Relaxation
in before returning to Israel on the 18<sup>th</sup>. On the 10<sup>th</sup>,
this upcoming Sunday they will be sharing in the morning service (10-11:30) at ZECM
(Zion Church) and you can watch: <a href="https://zemc.org/listen-to-a-sermon">live-stream options</a>. I really got excited about a video for Fields
of Wheat that they included in their email writing, “I hope
you will take a few minutes to watch the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RpqP6nS2g-A">new Fields of Wheat promo video</a> we just released!”
I transcribed a few key comments made by the Fields of Wheat team:<br />
"How will the Jewish and Arab
peoples come to know the Messiah and new faith communities be planted? The key
is investing in the next generation as messengers and future leaders who will
be trained and sent out." - Eitan Shishkoff | On Katzir Youth Camps, Joel
Jelski says,"My own life was transformed when the LORD set me free from
bitterness and unforgiveness. Many more teens await this opportunity." | On the Harvesters Discipleship Experience,
Liat Archer says, "Right here is where Jesus called His very first
disciples to follow him and that calling is still happening today. We have a
passion to disciple young adults preparing them to live whole-heartedly for the
LORD. Growing up in Israel I experienced the unique challenges that young believers
experience. This is why we are establishing the Harvesters Discipleship
Experience. Here Jewish and Arab believers can grow together in their faith
living as one family without the wall of separation. This is a demonstration of
Yeshua's kingdom that our region desperately needs." | On Fields of Wheat Cody Archer says,
"Where can we create a home for Fields of Wheat? We're moving forward to
equip the next generation. We're <i>not
waiting</i> for a permanent place. Yet we believe that the best fruit will come
from our own facility in the open spaces of northern Israel. Here youth, congregations and young adults
can grow being empowered by the Word of God and His spirit through works of
love." Hear more click link above.<br />

you can read in full online. One point is:<br />
<b>Aliyah & salvation</b> | As these are intimately linked in Scripture,
praying for one or the other stirs up God to answer both. For example, in
Jeremiah 31:6-7 the "watchmen' ["notzrim," which in Modern
Hebrew is the word for "Christian"] are told by God to pray for the
salvation of the remnant of Israel (31:7). And how does He answer? By bringing
many of His people back home (31:8-9)!<br /> As Your
people in exile read Shabbat's prophetic portion, quicken Isaiah 43:5-7 to them
so that wherever they may be geographically they will see that You are speaking
to them. Use the current government to make coming home easier for Jews of all
backgrounds (Isa. 62:10). </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">The Sderot congregation, City of Life, is also conducting <a href="https://www.clm-israel.org/2021/life-changing-biblical-tour/">Life

Nachalat) writes about the enemy exploiting the vaccine issue to divide Israeli
believers. But he also writes about the Sitting At Yeshua’s Feet (SAYF) that
took place last weeks as “more
than 50 Messianic/Christian leaders from around the country came together at
the Baptist Village, located in a convenient location near Petach Tikva. Jewish, Arab, and others came together to
pray and to intercede for the condition of the believers and the Body of
Messiah in Israel, since God's judgments begin in His own house, and we know
that things are not as they ought to be, and perhaps will never be this side of
the Lord's return and the resurrection.
So, some humility and patience and grace and mercy and .... are required
to give space and time to the Holy Spirit to do His work among and through us
until the sanctification work-in-progress is done, as far as our Lord and
Savior and Bridegroom is concerned. The
Father has set a time, and He will keep to it!”<br />

in the last 2000 years of the Great Commission. It not only shows the nations
that have declared Christianity to be the national religion, or even areas
where professing Christians are the majority of the population, but everywhere
the Gospel has been preached in history. These are where churches and Christian
gravestones show external evidence of that work, and where churches and Bibles
are accessible today. This animation also shows the competing "isms"
that overtook the Gospel in some areas of the world - areas that once again (as
the fullness of times is coming upon us) are experiencing a great underground
revival of the Gospel. Many of these are in the neighboring Arab countries,
important in light of the Isaiah 19:23-24 and 35:8 prophecies</span><i style="text-align: justify;">:
"In that day there will be a highway from Egypt to Assyria. The
Assyrians will go to Egypt, and the Egyptians to Assyria. The Egyptians and
Assyrians will worship together. In that day Israel will join a three-party
alliance with Egypt and Assyria—a blessing upon the earth."</i><span style="text-align: justify;"> (19:23-24)
and "</span><i style="text-align: justify;">And there will be a highway
called the Way of Holiness. The unclean will not travel it— only those who walk
in the Way— and fools will not stray onto it."</i><span style="text-align: justify;"> (35:8)</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><b>The

Watch how the Gospel
spread in history, what competing isms overtook it in some places, and how it
regained - IS REGAINING - in many of those strongholds. I have always heard
that the Gospel spread from Jerusalem to the West and has continued to do so
now in the East moving through the Middle East back to Jerusalem. This video
counters that idea somewhat and intrigued me to learn more about what the “Back
to Jerusalem” message is. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have never
really looked into what the </span><a href="https://backtojerusalem.com/about/"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Chinese "Back to Jerusalem" movement</span></a><span style="color: #050505; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"> is all about, but reading the “about”
summary makes me think that God is doing His mysterious work right under our
un-perceiving noses. <br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is the Chinese missionary vision
to evangelize the “90% of unreached people groups in the world today located
within the “10/40 window.”There are “hundreds of Chinese missionaries working
outside China in the Middle East, North Africa, Central Asia, the Indian
Subcontinent, and Southeast Asia. Thousands more are in training, learning
languages such as Arabic and English that will be put to use on the mission
field.” This is not "a movement of the Chinese church to evangelize
Jerusalem. However, Back to Jerusalem is the goal of the Chinese church to
evangelize the unreached peoples from eastern provinces of China, westwards
towards Jerusalem."<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Back to
Jerusalem movement is “not only evangelize the religiously oppressed areas of
Asia, but to also train and send Chinese missionaries into the unreached
regions of the globe, including Muslim, Buddhist, and Hindu nations.”<br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was inspired to look into these
things because of the first ministry letter I am working with in the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Weekly Summary</i> this week, that of
Christian Arabs in Haifa, Najeeb and Elizabeth Atteih of Immanuel Church. They
minister a lot to the refugees from Syria who have fled to other countries,
including Armenia, where Elizabeth’s family was from. Najeeb’s family roots are
in Lebanon but both Elizabeth and Najeeb were born in Israel. <br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In their ministry letter they wrote about
how they see great need to counter the indoctrinated hatred of Israel that so
many of the refugees they met hold. They know it is a calling of God on their
lives to help break that deception and bring the captives of Islamism into the
Light of the Jewish Messiah. Many Christians are eager to focus on salvation of
Arabs rather than salvation of Jews, but the truth is, salvation of Arabs is
also a key to the salvation of Jews. There is no leaving out either Jews or
Arabs in God's plans for the final harvest. <br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My focus in the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Weekly Summary of Prayer Requests from Israeli Ministries</i> and <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Arrows from Zion</i> is #1 to bring
attention of the work of the sharing the Gospel that is going on in Israel by
the Israeli ministries, but every once in a while, there is also need to show
how critical the missions are like these described above.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Many of the Israeli ministries are also
acutely aware of this, and it shows in their outreaches to the ministries in
the Far East, the Middle East and among the First Nations groups all over the
world.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We are all in this together

Elizabeth Atteith kicks off the Weekly Summary ministry letters this week,
first with news of a 40% crime and murder increase in Israel which the US
parallels with a 30% increase in murders the largest annual increase in six
decades. Nothing says no respect for life like the murder rate. Prayer fodder
for both nations and probably many others in these times of turmoil, bitterness
and anger. <br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They also give great news on their
ministry outreaches to refugees from war-torn Syria including in Armenia, where
Elizabeth’s family roots are and where she recently was able to receive Armenia
citizenship (giving her dual citizenship). This makes it easier to minister in
the country that is in dire need, and also “</span><span style="color: black; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">one of
the few countries in the world whose people enjoy one religion, Christianity,
and one language, Armenian.” There are refugees from Syria, Iraq, Iran and
Lebanon in Armenia. “Many of these immigrants were living in these Middle
Eastern countries because their ancestors fled the genocide, war, and
persecution in Armenia. Now the current generation is returning to Armenia to
escape persecution and war in these Middle Eastern countries. As Armenians,
they are able to apply for Armenian citizenship and settle in the country. They
have had to experience a great deal of loss and hardship on account of war, including
human losses, either a family member or friends or neighbors, material losses,
the difficulty of seeing mass destruction around them, and being forced to
leave a country they love.<br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“... we are viewed as people from
the enemy country, Israel….<b> We need to destroy their old ideas and thoughts
about Israel and us, to build new bridges and to plant seeds of reconciliation
in Christ. Thankfully God’s love and grace can break through all barriers.
During our visit, they saw God’s presence with us and saw God’s love and
kindness shine through us. Slowly, they have started to soften and respond to
us</b>. . . . we were surprised to see that there is a <u>great need for a
local Arabic speaking church and ministry</u>….<b> There is an urgent need for
an Arabic speaking church and ministry for these refugees. In Germany, we
planted an Arabic speaking church for refugees there that is led by Arab
believers. We feel the Lord is leading us to do the same in Armenia in order to
preach, evangelize, disciple, and establish a church and ministry for these
Arabic speaking Armenians.</b> <u>Praise the Lord for this gift and vision of
ministry. We pray that He will give us wisdom and insight to hear His voice and
strength to follow Him step by step. Pray for us and this opportunity for
ministry among the refugees in Armenia.</u>” <o:p></o:p></span></p>

intercessor at the Nazareth House of Prayer and Exploits followed with a vision
she had on 9/10 involving China. In essence she saw an eagle flying over Israel
that she believed was the LORD “covering the land and that He was going to
bring a turnaround of victory over a planned hidden assignment of the enemy. He
was watching in order to release His angels for an attack.” Then she saw a map
of China, and recognized it in the shape of a rooster: “When the rooster crows
his call, the eagle will soar.” Then I began to see the rooster crowing and the
sound began to resonate from the East, then the rooster continued to crow and
moved its head to the North and then the South.” <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The rooster began to crow, turned into an
eagle began flying to the western gate of the land, was joined by smaller
eagles – they were going to battle approaching a huge ancient golden gate: “the
gate opened and all those eagles break through the gate out heading towards the
Silk Road. The moment the eagle broke through the gate, I saw a river of water
begin to flow from this ancient gate towards the Silk Road and wash and remove
the stones from the highway!</span><b><span style="color: #215868; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: accent5; mso-themeshade: 128;">” <br />

the army rises for battle over the Middle East, China and the US. We will
release the sound of freedom and healing to the lands and appeal to heaven for

gather and release the cry of victory for such a time as this.”<br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The underground church in China is
more critical than most of us realize, as it truly is an underground, hidden
power of God. What we hear mostly is the threats of the Chinese Beast nation,
but inside China, God has hidden a secret weapon of praying saints critical to
what unfolds in the spread of the Gospel from the Far East to the Middle East
and back to Jerusalem.<br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" />

Chaim Malespin at the Aliyah Return Center write about many aspects of the Fall
Feasts, but we include this one of the 7 Prayers of Praise (Hoshana Raba) said
on this day, one for each day of the Feast of Tabernacles, and which correspond
to and mention the 7 most important characters in Hebrew history and God’s
faithfulness to them and their descendants: 1. Abraham (the first patriarch),
2. Isaac (the second patriarch), 3. Jacob (the third patriarch), 4. Moses (the
most prominent Hebrew prophet), 5. Aaron (Moses' brother, the first high
priest), 6 Joseph (Jacob's most famous son), and 7. David (the most important
King of Israel). These 7 “hosannas” (Hoshana = Hosanna) are accompanied by a
series of liturgical verses climaxing with the shout, "Kol hamevaser,
mevaser ve-omer" (The voice of the Herald speaks and says) referencing
Isaiah 40:3, expressing Hope for the speedy coming of the Messiah.<br />

because of covid restrictions and the week-long festivities had to be shortened
to two days and one night, but they made the most of it and many learning
impressions were made on the children. There was also a report on how they are
discipling among the Bedouin women, including teaching a truly poverty stricken
woman with 7 children and abandoned by her husband, how to live by a budget of
her precious meager resources. Even at the first day of putting the budget into
motion, God supernaturally blessed the woman through an opportunity to work one
day a week in a local bakery. It was a great witness to the woman. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>

bookstore in 2003, I met a Palestinian Christian that our Israel Prayer group
had been praying for back in 2002 period when the Palestinian Authority was
locking up Christian Arabs, even torturing and even killing some. The IDF was
conducting raids on different towns to clear out terrorist nests, munitions
holds and to free the religious Christian Arab prisoners from jail.
"S" was among the last prisoners that the IDF freed in the last town
they did the operation. When S began to tell us his testimony at the store that
day, I thought, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Wait! that sounds really
familiar!</i> When we returned to the USA, I looked up the prayer requests for
the source that I thought relayed his story...and I found it. It was the same
man. I wrote to the source just to confirm. “S” was eventually not granted
Israeli refuge but has since moved to another country where he and his family
live.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><br />

faith in Israel but they falsely tag HaOgen as “owned by missionaries.” The
greatest accusation a Jew can make against anyone as it is automatically
connected to the tragic history of forced conversions and purges of Jews from
the nations.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They do quote Avi Mizrachi
accurately, “We are not trying to missionize anyone, bribe anyone, or do
anything to people. We are Jews who love our country, serve our country in the
army, and pay taxes. And we celebrate the Jewish holidays and feasts, and we
believe in the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. And yes, we believe that Yeshua
is the messiah.” <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Avi adds, “Now, if
(someone) ask us what we believe, we tell them." <br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And that is the great difference in
way the overwhelming number of Israel's Messianic Jews share their faith with
fellow Israelis, and it happens to be very effective because people ask when
they like what they see and hear from believers. This is universally true — not
just Jews respond to the witness of our faith truly lived. <br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>JTA’s Seitz writes, "The idea
that missionary work is illegal — and the associated idea that believers in
Jesus face persecution because of their faith — leads many Messianics in Israel
to mask their activities, according to Sarah Posner." Posner falsely
asserts, “[Messianics] really played up the idea that proselytizing to Jews is
illegal in Israel,” she is quoted saying. “It’s not as severe as they make it
out to be, but they do play that up as evidence that they aren’t treated
fairly."<br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><b>Frankly, as someone who has
compiled this <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Weekly Summary of Prayer
Requests from Israeli Ministries</i> for the past 20 years, I can tell you that
assertion is a flat out lie.</b> <br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Israeli ministries are so
tight-lipped about the harassment and persecution that comes against them that
it's like pulling teeth to get information about it. You see, they don't want
Christians to get angry against Israel. My viewpoint is that Christians need to
grow up spiritually enough to be aware of the persecution without turning on
Israel because of it. We are to protect our brothers and sisters, knowing the
heart of God is to redeem Israel, not write off “all Israel,”<br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>How can we miss the role that the apostle Paul
played before he was given the revelation that Yeshua was indeed the Messiah
the Jewish believers said He was? In God’s own timing, Shaul saw the Light.<br />

the US State Department puts out annually as a report on religious persecution
in the nations.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That report truly stated
that Israel has “taken a number of steps that encouraged the perception that
proselytizing is against government policy,” such as detaining missionaries and
citing “proselytism as a reason to deny student, work, and religious visa
extensions.” <br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yad L’Achim, the “anti-missionary”
activists who are behind much of the persecution of the believers in Israel,
are also notorious from doing research on Messianic Jews in Israel and in the
United States in order to report them to the Interior Ministry in bureaucratic
attempts to deny immigration of Messianic Jews, and also to kick Israeli
Messianic Jews (or their non-Jewish spouses) out of the country. That is real
and it is another heartless form of persecution against believers. <br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is no wonder that Posner attempts
to counter the 2010 State Department report with the false assertion that
Messianics "played up" the persecution, which she in her all-knowing
(fact-less) claim says is "not as severe" as Messianic Jews make it
out to be. Abusers always feel that way about their abuse.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Beyneynu, another anti-Messianic
activist group akin to Yad L'Achim, appears to have kicked off the persecution
against the HaOgen coffee house. Its founder, Shannon Nuszen is the proverbial
Israel-supporting Christian gone bad, winning great approval from <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">aish</i> in an article, </span><a href="https://www.aish.com/sp/so/From-Christian-Missionary-to-Observant-Jew.html"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">From Christian Missionary to Observant Jew</span></i></a><span style="color: black; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">. <br />

morning, on the eve of Yom Kippur I was thinking about how bitterness
is the greatest poisoner of human beings known to man. It is like a
tomato that over ripens on your kitchen counter and starts to go bad.
Every tomato that the rotten spot touches begins to pass along the rot
to other tomatoes. Human bitterness is like that too.<br />
<br />
When a tomato starts to rot in one place the whole tomato doesn't have
to be thrown out, the rotten part can be cut away and the rest of the
tomato used. If you see a rotten spot on a tomato the first thing to do
to save the rest of the tomatoes is to separate the good from the bad.<br />
<br />
Of course this is all a spiritual lesson because life in our times is
wrought with situations to create bitterness in human beings. You look
around you and you will see the signs of bitterness lurking in people
everywhere. Let me be the first to say I have had a battle with
bitterness creep in my life too and if it were not for the LORD, it
would have overtaken me and destroyed me long ago. I have had to cut off
the bad spots like on the tomato in my life a few times. <br />
I believe bitterness is one of the great battles of the age we live in.
In Matthew 24:12 when Jesus was speaking of the spiritual environment
of the approaching last days, He said "Because of the increase of
wickedness, the love of most will grow cold."<br />
<br />
In the original language that reads that because of the increased
transgressions of (God's) law, the "agape" (affection, good will, love,
benevolence, brotherly love) will "psycho" (a primary verb which denotes
properly a forcible respiration of breath to be made or grow cool or
cold). You know, like you blow cool breath on your hot drink to cool it
down. <br />
<br />
That's what harboring bitterness over transgressions (both real and
imagined) by other people against us does, it kills off our affection,
good will, love, benevolence, brotherly love. It becomes "psycho" breath
blowing on our relationships, not only with the person directly
involved with our bitterness, but if left alone and not excised, it will
begin to spread to others around us. Like that rotten tomato on the
counter top, it will cause rot to set into every single tomato that is
situated close to it.<br />
<br />
There is a way out. The first is for us personally. There are probably
not many of us that haven't had things happen in our lives that have
caused a poisoned place of bitterness to form in our hearts and minds.
Bitterness that is given free reign to populate our thoughts will poison
our hearts. The only way to free ourselves from this is to take it to
the Cross of Yeshua, Jesus. We lay down the "debt" we feel the person(s)
owe us - their transgression against us - at the Cross of the Messiah
who died to pay off ALL transgression debts. <br />
<br />
Many of us feel we have the right to cling to certain transgression
debts because they hurt us so much, but Matthew 18, Jesus tells us we
absolutely have no right to cling to the debt. . . and if we will not
forgive the debt as God has forgiven us, then we - even those of us who
are saved - open the door to tormenting spirits. That means physical,
mental and spiritual tormentors (demons) have access to us to cause
greater pains because we will not give up our 'right' to bitterness.
Addictions, phobias, physical illnesses, mental illnesses, anxieties,
fears, murderous or suicidal mental oppression. <br />
<br />
For a person that has come to faith in Yeshua/Jesus, we can repent -
which means to acknowledge our sin of bitterness but also to turn away
from it. Sometimes you are challenged over and over to walk that out,
but we just have to in order to keep our own spiritual freedom. This is
important too, because if you look around, you will see how it is not
just individuals but great groups of people have been overwhelmed by the
impact of bitterness that is dominating everything about their lives. <br />
<br />
Bitterness is the greatest poisoner of mankind and there is only one
thing that a person walking with God in the Holy Spirit can do about
that too: to rightly view their predicament of having been overcome by
the poison of bitterness. Whether they are believers in the Lord who
don't know how to free themselves, or unbelievers trapped in unbelief
and the bitterness of life, pray for them to see that Yeshua, that Jesus
came to set the captives free. <br />
<br />
Captives of what? Captives of the poison of bitterness because it is an
even bigger problem of humankind than all other forms of captivity. <br />
<br />
We don't fight hate with hate. We don't fight the poison of bitterness
with our own bitterness. To get free, it is a spiritual ordinance of
God's instruction, we have to forgive our way out it. Matthew 18 affirms
this truth.<br />

September 12, 2021</b>:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In the High Holy
Days we are in the midst of the Ten Days of Awe. It is ten days to be in a holy
awe, or understanding of God's power over all human life. We say we know it,
but rarely do we really think He is even paying attention of us and the choices
we make. That is why there are 10 days set aside from the Feast of Trumpet to
the Day of Atonement. Understand that these biblical feasts are prophetic
pictures for Israel but that doesn't mean that Christians get nothing out of
looking deeply into the prophetic pictures designed by God. It is especially
directing us toward the advancing "last days" - not the last days of
earth and people on the earth, but the last days of demonic spirits troubling
the people of the earth for another thousand years.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am leaving a lot of things out because my
point is not so much eschatological even though the time period we are in right
now is heavily related to the unfolding of prophetic events.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The point I want to make is that after the Feast of Trumpets (the
biblical Yom Teruah) - the Jewish CIVIL calendar Rosh Hashanah) - there are ten
days before Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement. So the ten days are to be spent
reflecting of anything you need to repent of before God. It is a time when we
are to stop and come to grips with the spiritual reality that our life is
completely and truly in the hands of God, and to humble ourselves in
acknowledgment of that reality - enough to 'fess up to God of our own wrong
doings and our own failings. Each person whether they believe in God or not,
will have to appear before God to give account for their lives. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>By confessing our wrongs and failings to God now, in an awed recognition
of His power, we are wiping our debt slate clean before God. The first step is
faith in Jesus to be forgiven, but if you look to Matthew 18 you will see that
the process of being forgiven in our lives is not once and for all, we have an
ongoing need to seek God's forgiveness of our wrong doings and failings, AND we
have a necessity in God's eyes to forgive as we have been forgiven by Him to
forgive ALL others of their wrongdoings and failings toward us. If we don't, it
will attract all sorts of demonic spirits into our lives to torment us with
physical illnesses and mental illnesses. Our souls can only be at peace if we
are active in forgiving others. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

stand rightly in the power of the LORD at a moment like that: to stand as an
advocate for them. If our awe of God is rooted in the reality of His awesome
power over all human life, then we are going to take seriously our need to
forgive people and pull them from the fires of hell that are licking at their
feet. It doesn't matter what they did to us, it matters that we should not
desire hell to eat up anyone. Not everyone will turn to God for His salvation
and deliverance, but our prayer should be that they do, and in praying that
way, we are helping remove the spiritual veil that is spread over mankind,
blinding them to the truth of a gracious God willing to forgive and save.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>

</span>We are entering into part two of the Isaiah 61 passage that Jesus
proclaimed at the beginning of His earthly ministry. He said of it,
"“Today this Scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.” <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">"The Spirit of the Sovereign

<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Today we continue in that same
anointing to set captives free (because we are the many brethren of the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“Firstborn of many brethren”</i> – Romans
8:29. Yeshua stopped purposefully in His Isaiah 61 reading because it was not
the time appointed for the "Part 2" of the passage. We continue to
walk in a restoration of the anointing He proclaimed in Isaiah 61:1-2 for all
the nations, and continue toward the days spoke of specifically in the days of
the restoration of Israel. These are the days ahead in our time:<br /><br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Isaiah 61:2b-3 <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn, and
provide for those who grieve in Zion—to bestow on them a crown of beauty

</span>mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They
will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of
his splendor.”<br /><br />
</i><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you are seeing the sins of
those you know rather clearer these days, it is a test to see if you will pray
for them to be saved and delivered from the sins which so easily beset us. We
must have God’s heart for saving others even from themselves. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

of the people of Israel turn to God. This is a great opportunity for you and me
to pray and intercede for the people of Israel. That while they turn to God,
some of them only once a year, that God will open their hearts and reveal to
them the true sacrifice, Yeshua the Messiah, who took away our sins on the
cross. Acts 4:12 “<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Salvation is found in
no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which
we must be saved.” </i><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Because they seek
forgiveness and atonement in the wrong place, we must unite in prayer because
our people need revelation from God, as it is written in Zechariah 12:10. . . .

your personal life and in His people Israel. May our prayers not cease until
the day we glorify God together in His kingdom.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

Sderot’s <a href="https://clm-israel.org/">City of Life</a> congregational
leader Michael Beener writes, “With the emphasis on blowing the shofar, the
biblical trumpet, we can easily see an End-Time correlation to the prophesied
last trumpet call (1 Corinthians 15:51–52). So in this way Yom Teruah is often
associated with the initiation of the Messianic Age and the resurrection of the
dead in Messiah. We remain deeply grateful for your prayers and support which
has enabled us to offer our Messiah's comfort to so many who suffer throughout
His Promised Land. As we are raising donations for the major distribution of
special food baskets to the need of our region during the biblical Autumn
holidays. Join us to reach our target of 200 families at $50 US per basket. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>From Rosh Hashanah through Sukkot, our “City

Leviticus 23 about the feast of trumpets, it is quite vague. There is a trumpet
blast, you don't go to work, and there is an offering. That's about it. No one
is told what we are commemorating with trumpet/shofar blasts. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Could it be that we are remembering something
that is yet to come? In eternity there are no time limitations. Maybe we are
looking forward to an event, not remembering one? I am firmly convinced this is
the case. And the Feast of Trumpets points to an event that we are rapidly
approaching, the coming of Yeshua the Messiah in the clouds of heaven to gather
his elect and establish his Kingdom on planet Earth.”<br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“There are four main passages in the
new covenant that speak of the last trumpet blast (Matt. 24:30-31, 1 Cor.
15:50-57, 1 Thes. 4:16-18, Rev. 11:15), and all of these passages are about the

beginning of what is called the Head or Beginning of the Year in Judaism.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But, biblically, it is the beginning of the
end in YHVH's redemptive plan to save and sanctify His chosen people Israel,

non-Jewish believers to remain in country if married to an Israeli believer

possibility, and to encourage others to do the same) | For a vision of the
Kingdom of God in the lives of the believers; reading the Bible as the Word of
GOD; spiritual maturity and discernment of good from evil, and choosing the
good; discernment of truth from non-truth (error, lies, distortion) | For

Ministries is one that does a lot of travel to the nations teaching the Church
about Israel. That has been greatly curtailed – in fact, totally cut off –
since the emergence of Covid. You can imagine what that does to the donations
that David and Josie Silver live on. They have had to move entirely to online
ministry to keep the Word going out, but people tend to respond with support to
those they see in person. This is something that has hurt MANY believers &
ministers in Israel.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><br />

Dani and LuAnne Sayag, with Yonatan<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Arnold and Stefan and Keren Silver of the Kerem-El congregation in Haifa
write about keeping fluid with meeting plans because of the fluctuations of
restrictions as covid waxes and wanes in Israel. They are restricted to 50
people live in meetings, the rest watching by video and intend to conduct the
Feast of Tabernacles celebration outdoors so everyone can get together.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Kerem-El, which means God’s Vineyard, keeps a
focus on making disciples and reports that two new believers are most zealous
to share the Gospel with others. Each of them have one friend both of which are
very close to receiving the LORD. This is how Israelis are won one-on-one, by
the undeniable witness of a changed life. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The congregation is in development of their
next focus “The Father’s Heart” for their small group meetings & ask prayer
over materials & logistics.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> <br /></span></span> They ask
prayers for: “Pray for the new believers we are discipling and for those who
are still yet to make a decision for Yeshua, especially as the feasts approach,
that our Messiah would be revealed to them | Pray for those of the congregation
that are dealing with health issues, for complete healing and strength to
persevere with the uncertainty of treatment | Pray for the youth and children
as they return to school, for health and protection for them and their families
| Pray for more laborers to enter our "harvest field" to build God's
kingdom in Haifa and for wisdom for the leadership as they continue to guide
the congregation through this uncertain time | Pray for God to provide the
financial needs of Kerem-El in 2021, above and beyond what we expect,
especially provision for the Father's Heart campaign and the ability to hire
another staff member.”</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: black; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">

Atonement:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“</span></b><span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Today I would like to share with you
some thoughts connected to the biblical Day of Atonement that Israel is
celebrating this week. This is a solemn day of fasting and repentance, and
indeed, it is very important to examine our ways, seek the Lord, see if we are
on the right track with Him, and to repent of any sins and transgressions. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Sometimes, however, there is a danger in
frequent fasting and self-searching – a danger to focus too much upon ourselves
and become preoccupied with our own spiritual search and wellbeing instead of
paying proper attention to those around us.</b> <br /><br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“In Isaiah 58 the Lord foresees this
danger and points us to another type of fasting that pleases Him<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">: "Is not this the kind of fasting I
have chosen: to loose the chains of injustice and untie the cords of the yoke,
to set the oppressed free and break every yoke? Is it not to share your food
with the hungry and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter—when you see the
naked, to clothe them, and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood?”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>'<o:p></o:p></i></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>“Interestingly, the same chapter reveals that this kind of fasting will
actually bring us the very spiritual growth and connection with the Lord we are
looking for in our spiritual searches! <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">"Then
your light will break forth like the dawn, and your healing will quickly
appear; then your righteousness will go before you, and the glory of the Lord
will be your rear guard. Then you will call, and the Lord will answer; you will
cry for help, and he will say: Here am I.”<o:p></o:p></i></span></p>

</span>“So today, on the threshold of another Day of Atonement, we want to

in the task of breaking the yoke of addiction and setting the oppressed free!”<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><u><span style="color: #1f497d; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"> </span></u></i></span></b><span style="color: black; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><br />

grateful that Olga is feeling better these days! Though the doctors never found
the cause of the dizziness that put her in hospital a month ago, they did rule
out major issues like brain tumors, heart problems, etc., so this is already
comforting. Olga’s back also keeps improving and she is able to walk more
outside now than she did before.</span><span style="color: black; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><br />

is a special focus issue this week devoted entirely to the online events and
the teachings of Israeli Messianic ministries on the Feast of Trumpets, which
is the official opening of the High Holy Days God’s prophetic Feast days. </span></b><span style="color: #050505; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Honestly, I would hate to be
a Christian at this time in history who did not respect or understand what the
Messianic Jewish believers <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><u>in Jesus</u></i>
know about the BIBLICAL, God-appointed Holy Days that we are entering into
tonight. <br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The reason is because these holidays
were appointed by God, not by the Jews, and they are God’s prophetic pictures
pointing to His due season for restoring Israel to faith. Make no mistake: this
is not just pertinent to Jews but will have a direct impact on what Christians
will be experiencing during this appointed season too. <br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This evening at sunset in Israel
begins the Feast of Trumpets<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>which is known
as Rosh Hashanah to non-Messianic Jews, or Jewish New Year. It is not the
biblical New Year though. This and many other things are misunderstood
mysteries for Christians who pay little attention to anything to do with the
Jewish faith in Jesus. There is still time learn what the prophetic pictures in
the biblical holy days foreshadow. Please share these teachings and events with
your Christian friends who don’t know. </span><span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">All of other news from the ministries this week will be carried

HaCarmel, </span></span><i>"In
that day sing to her, "A vineyard of red wine! I, the LORD, keep it, I
water it every moment; Lest any hurt it, I keep it night and day."</i> Isaiah 27:2-3 | The summer holidays in Israel are
now past as we move straight into the Lord's Fall Feasts that begin very early
(September 6th) this year. Celebrating the Feast of Trumpets (also known as the
traditional Jewish New Year), the Day of Atonement - the most holy day of the
Jewish calendar, and then also the Feast of Tabernacles hold so much richness
and significance, especially for believers in the 21st century.<br /> <b>As the
day of the Lord's return approaches, we are commanded to encourage each other
(Heb 10:25), and a great way to accomplish that is by examining God's road map
that He laid out through His feast days. </b>The Feast of Trumpets foreshadows
that last trumpet that will sound as the King returns to take His bride and set
up His kingdom here on earth. The Day of Atonement reminds us of when we will
all stand before the Lord of all the earth, for us who believe to receive our
reward, and for those who don't, to receive judgment. Finally, the Feast of
Tabernacles tells us of when we will once again tabernacle with God, and He
with us, in His kingdom. Much more could be said about each "appointed
time", so we encourage you to dig deep in God's word and enjoy the riches
to be found.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">Chuck Cohen, Intercessors for Israel in Jerusalem, writes: "Monday at sunset, Rosh Hashanah, the first of the biblical fall feasts begins. For observant Jews, it starts a ten-day period of introspection in which they try to get right with man and with God. This is a good time to intercede for many Jews to receive a revelation of Messiah Yeshua. As this feast is called in scripture Yom Teruah, the Day of the Blowing [of the Shofar], please wake up many Jews to hear You calling them and then grace them with Your salvation (Eph. 2:8-10).

for the Bride to Arise on the Mt. of Olives | <span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">In January this year, an inter-congregational group
of worshipers and intercessors came together to seek the Lord for unity in the
Body of Messiah in Israel. As a result, the song Kumi Kala (Arise O Bride) was
born – a cooperative effort calling for the bride of Messiah to stand together
as one, purified and unified in love. Together with different congregations and
ministries in the Land and internationally, we felt called to erect a worship
alter of trumpeting on the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem to worship, blow the
shofar and announce the coming of the conquering King, to call the Bride to
arise in love, unity and holiness to meet the Bridegroom. It was an incredibly
powerful time, with worshipers and intercessors from all over the Body of
Messiah in Israel and of all ages, and we ended up worshiping and praying
until after dark."<br /></span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><b><i><u><span style="color: #1f497d; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Urgent HEALING Needs:

</i><br />
The <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">beautiful faces above</i> are the
ones whose <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">beautiful feet</i> are doing
those things in Israel today –<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>CURRENTLY, not at some future time. They are not being prompted,
organized or led by Christian ministries to spread the Gospel in Israel, but
some Christians have followed God’s call to come alongside the Israeli
ministries in prayer, finances and other practical help. They are HELPERS of
the Israeli ministries so they may fulfill Isaiah 52:7 <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">as they are called to do</i>. <br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>NOW Yeshua is being proclaimed in
Israel. Those who are proclaiming Yeshua’s salvation on the mountains of Israel
are these Israeli ministries and many more that I feature each week. This has
been the main purpose of the Weekly Summary and <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Arrows from Zion</i> for the past twenty years. <br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Many in the Christian world are
expecting Israel’s salvation to come another way – like through their
Gospel-less donations to forge friendships with Israeli rabbinic or government
figures. They think that is the witness that will win Israelis to
faith…eventually.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Scripture says <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“faith comes by hearing the Word of God.”</i>
These are the Christian Zionists who don’t want anyone mentioning Jesus to
Israelis; some even think the Israeli Messianic Jews are a heretical cult, it
you can believe that! And a great many Christians are surprised to even learn there
are almost 20,000 Israeli Messianic Jewish believers in Jesus who are ALREADY
bearing witness to Israel’s Messiah Yeshua.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span><br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The salvation of Yeshua is being
declared in earnest in Israel ALREADY. They are not waiting for some future
moment because the time is ALREADY here. They don’t need Christian Zionist <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">permission</i> to share their own faith and
the personal benefits they have experienced of Yeshua’s salvation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am NOT against Christian Zionism,
I’m just against the kind that <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><u>denies
the Gospel</u></i> is for <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">all </i>Jews
right now.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The clock is ALREADY ticking
and it is GOD’s clock! There are over 1 million Messianic Jews worldwide and
the salvation specifically of Israeli Jews is gaining speed with every year
that has passed since 1948. Israeli Messianic believers who are bearing the
witness to Israel and <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“for Zion’s sake”</i>
they too will not be silenced.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is also amazing to me but some
Christians just reject the concept that <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Israeli
Jews</i> are God’s lead players in bringing the Gospel to Israel. Some of them
think that God is on the verge of sending a flood of fiery international
Christian evangelizers into Israel to bring Jews to faith in the Yeshua. This
stops them from throwing their full support behind the Israeli ministries who
are providing a <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">credible witness</i> to
Israeli Jews, because they are Israeli Jews. Christians are necessary to
bringing Israel to faith, but mostly as helpers, not as the lead in that
harvest field. Christians who want to contribute to Israel’s salvation have got
to lose the takeover mentality and be humble enough to see God’s calling in the
Israeli spiritual vineyard is resting on the beautiful faces you see in the
pictures above along with their many fellow Israeli Messianic Jews.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The help they need is funding to send out the
laborers into the harvest field. <br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">A
few weeks ago I got in a ministry letter</b> that featured one of the
congregational team members and the photo startled me. My immediate thought
was, “Wow. This is what Jesus could have looked like!” The man in the photo had
such a calm, serene, kindly yet strong countenance. It was the kind of demeanor
I think Yeshua would have had. There is another one of the Israeli ministers I
have thought for a long time could be what the apostle Paul may have looked like.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’ve been thinking about this over
the past week or so and thought that since Christians have been reading our
bibles we have imagined what some favorite Bible characters looked like. Even
though most of the figures in the Bible are predominantly Jewish, what we
visualized probably is more how people in our own nations look. Renaissance
paintings of a blue-eyed Jesus points to that tendency we all share.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The artists might have painted biblical
characters in clothing of the era but not necessarily in the physical
appearance of Jews of that era before there was much diffusion of the ethnic
Middle Eastern appearance of Israelis. <br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At Rosh HaShanah 5782/2021, there is
no longer a primary ethnic appearance among Jews. Scattered to the four corners
of the earth now many “communities” of Jews depending upon which corner of the
earth they are returning to Israel from – Mizrachi, Sephardic, Ethiopian,
Askenazic, even Bene Indian and Far Eastern. <br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It dawned on me that never before in
history have we had so great an opportunity to see Jews living in Israel with
authentic resemblance to our most beloved biblical figures. All Jews are Jews,
but as I was choosing which photos to use for this cover story I was drawn to
those that reminded me of how I visualize biblical figures. Among the many I
consider my Israeli friends I saw people who could easily have been just
exactly what Elijah looked like, or John the Baptist. I saw in them Mary
Magdalene,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Dorcas and Deborah. I look at
their pictures and see Simon Peter, Jael, Asaph, John, Barnabas, Simeon and
Anna. That is not trying to puff anyone up – it’s just a fact! They bear the
resemblance of their ancestors. With all the focus on tracking our ancestry in
recent years, maybe you have noticed like I have that in families there are
pictures that turn up of some great, great grandmother or grandfather that so
strongly resembles one of their descendants alive today. We are all unique
people but we come from family lines that often produce uncannily strong familial
physical resemblance. <br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">I
believe there is another good reason why it is so easy to see the Israeli
ministries as the biblical characters we love.</b> It has to do with a change
that seems to take place inside of Jews restored to the Land of Promise. Their
physical DNA does not change, but there is something that changes within for
them. They are home – the home God gave them – and just being home brings them
more into the expression of their authentic self. That is what I believe and I
believe it is that way because <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">God wants
it to be that way</i>, part of His draw of the Jews back to their original home
in the time of His spiritual restoration of the chosen people.<br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The connection between the Jews and
the Land He gave them is more than just a sentimental longing for one’s
homeland. Israel is the place where Jews not only come back into their own
Jewish identity, but it is <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">the place God
has appointed for them to become fully spiritually restored to Him</i>. They
have paid a lot to be chosen by God for His purposes, but He has a good end for
them and He will fulfill it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">For
the Messianic Jew who has returned to Israel, or the Jew who has returned to
Israel and found faith in Yeshua, or even the native Israeli Jew who becomes a
believer</b> – all of these Jews have something <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">even more in common with our biblical favorite characters</i>. It is
because they too are <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“a peculiar people”</i>
just like both the Old and New Covenant Jews of faith who walked in a living
relationship with God.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Both Christians
and Messianic Jews belong this “peculiar people” spiritual family. To belong to
this family <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">we must enter it God’s way
which is today through faith in Yeshua</i>. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">We
have to be in the Blood-line.</i><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Israeli Messianic Jews have been
called to faith “according to His purpose” to restore “all Israel” to a living
relationship with YHVH through Yeshua.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>They are the only Israelis who share the same <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">spiritual DNA </i>as our favorite Old and New Covenant figures. More
will come into faith, but until then, the Messianic Jews connection to the God
of Israel is not just because of being in the Jewish bloodline, but they are
connected to God’s greater spiritual family through the sacrificial blood of
Yeshua. This was God’s plan, to make of two one new man in Messiah.<br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Each and every one of the Israeli
ministry leaders from the smallest to the largest ministry – are Jews who have
been set apart by God to bring salvation to the lost sheep in Israel. They
heard God’s call and they came. Some came from worse living situations but many
came from much better living situations. For better or for worse they came to
Israel and they are committed to living out God’s calling on their lives, even
sacrificially. <br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In my mind, that is what sets the
Israeli ministries apart from Messianic Jewish ministries all over the world.
Yes, there is still need for Messianic leaders in the Diaspora but I believe
that <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">we
should give honor where honor is overdue</i></b>. In the Israeli ministries
there is a stronger measure of sacrifice than exists among most of the Israeli
Messianic Jewish ministries in the nations, at least in the Western nations
(and at least for now). <br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>To me, the reason Israeli ministries
so strongly resemble biblical characters are because they are literally walking
in the footsteps of the ancient Jews <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><u>of
faith</u></i> in Israel.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>May the future
of this prayer letter as long as it may continue, always give honor to the
Israeli ministries and those who are walking out their faith in Yeshua <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">as a witness to all Israel</i>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>

A report from Jackie Santoro of Zion’s Glory in Jerusalem captures the ongoing
stresses facing all Israelis – but not without hope! School is starting just as
confusion and uncertainty are swirling over the new Delta Covid variant. Then
starting 9/6 with Rosh HaShanah, school will be out for a month for the High
Holy Days.” Jackie writes, “</span><span style="color: black; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">The joy of the holidays

She asks for prayers over PM’s Bennett & Lapid to know what to do. A very

now seven hospitals are threatening a strike because of lack of funding and are

born-again content available as there is today. . . . as this God-injected content
is being released, we see disbelief and bias begin to crumble and the light of
the truth shine through, reaching hearts. We are going to see a change in
Israel as people turn towards the light of the life of Yeshua and are saved!<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you haven’t caught the thrust of
what Tikkun Global/Revive Israel are doing, they are sending the word of the
Lord out to the nations from Jerusalem just as Isaiah 2 says will happen in the
last days.. We don’t have to wait until they come to our town, in fact we
should not! They can come to us now without ever having to leave their
responsibilities to the Israelis they are ministering to. It is time to break the
paradigm of thinking that says they must come to us every summer on tour for us
to establish relationship with them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Technology has made it possible for us to make the world so much
smaller, we should avail ourselves to those resources to gather together for Praise,

troubled lives that Bedouin women are living under. This is not a new thing
under any of the Arabic cultures, Islam or Bedouin, but Hasdey Yeshua is seeing
some heartbreaking things with the women they are ministering to close to Arad.
It is like the Psalms 6:6 verse they quoted in their opening: <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“I am weary with my groaning; all night I
make my bed swim. I drench my couch with my tears.” </i><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If ever there was a people bearing a weight
that would cause them to look to the LORD for deliverance, it is these women.
Even so, it is not easy for them to come to faith because if anyone found out,
their lives would be even more under threat. Even Beduoin men who have come to
faith have had to leave the area entirely so not to be killed. Yet God is
stirring among these needy women. Pray that He will make a way for them where
there is no way to be seen. <br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The congregation writes that a young
adult who is about to enter pre-IDF service responded to discipleship studies
for months with a desire to be baptized. Pray for her to continue to grow in
faith. Also, for those touched in a recent trip to northern Israel where the
biblical significance of various sites was taught – even to an unbeliever who
came.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They appreciate your prayers for
their city, their mayor, their congregation and their outreaches. <br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" />

at their blog). “In the midst of natural disasters, wars and rumors of wars and
the new pandemic Covid wave, we have a choice to respond either by Fear or by
Faith. Are we seeking Revival or Survival?” They continue, “Until Yeshua, our
Lord returns, His great commission to be His witnesses and make disciples are
still our marching orders for His body today. (Acts 1:6-8) <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is so amazing to see that our congregation
has provided a haven, a refuge for generations of children and youth, young
adults, holocaust survivors and young families. This year, we have experienced
births, baptisms, salvations, healing, and a wedding. These are healthy signs
of the Lord working in our midst as we choose to put our trust in Him. Prayer
and worship (harps and bowls) together with fasting, are great tools to further
Yeshua’s agenda for His body, His Land and His people.” Get the full prayer

key role in the High Holy Days that are about to start September 6<sup>th</sup>,
then you need to do a phrase study like Acco’s Harvest of Asher pastor Guy

job of putting the “Book of Life” concept from the Hebrew scriptures into

Revelation it is stressed that our names must we written in God’s Book of Life.

Kerem-El congregation (promise to get that prayer letter in next week). It is a
planting of the Carmel Congregation. Ronit is one of those Israeli believers
who very actively shares her faith in her daily life in Israel.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She and her husband did so before Tom passed
a few years back and Ronit continues on to be a witness of Yeshua through
treating the people she meets well, blessing them when she can, and always
ready to tell them about the source of her 'joie de vivre' (joy of living). She
listens to the LORD and He leads her to people…like recently when she was going
to buy an espresso maker, but God stopped her. Most days she goes out for
coffee and often when she does, that’s when God puts people in her path that
she can plant the seeds of faith into her lives. First Ronit is a friend, or to
some who feel invisible to others like the restroom cleaner, she is able to
bless and spread a little sunshine in their lives. It wouldn’t be the first
time that a person she blessed came back around to learn more about the source
of her being so different to others they meet. In the US there is a thing
called doing “a random act of kindness.” That’s okay, but what Ronit is doing,
there’s nothing random about it. When the LORD is our family and He is ours, we
can draw on His goodness, His mercy, His generosity and extend it to others who
don’t know Him yet.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Imagine what would

Revelation<br /></span></b>by Asher Intrater, Tikkun
Global/Revive Israel<br />
<br />
These past few weeks we have reported on several urgent situations. Rekindled
fires in the hills around Jerusalem continue to require firefighters’
attention. A surge in COVID 19 cases continues to put pressure on Israeli
citizens.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
On the world-wide scene, the takeover of the Afghanistan government by
the Taliban has created a crisis emboldening terrorist extremists in the Middle
East. Chaos and fear are swirling throughout the region. Believers are in real
danger of persecution and in need of much prayer. <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Revelation 8:7 – <i>The first angel
sounded: hail and fire mixed with blood were thrown to the earth. A third of
the trees were burned up…<o:p></o:p></i></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Obviously, we haven't reached the level of disasters as noted even in
the first trumpet. However, we are moving in that direction. World disasters
will become increasingly more intense. One day there will be a war that will
kill one third of the world population. Revelation 9:15-16 <i>- …were released to kill a third of mankind. Now the number of the army
of the horsemen was 200,000,000. I heard the number.<o:p></o:p></i></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
A third of mankind would be approximately two billion people. An army of
two hundred million will attack. Numbers for an army that size and the numbers
killed of that size could potentially be fulfilled by an Islamic Jihad war
against India-China-South East Asia. (Interestingly, the passage speaks of the
origin of the army in the Euphrates area – verse 14.)<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Revelation 3:10 <i>- … I will protect
you from the hour of trial which will come upon the whole world, to test those
who dwell upon the earth.</i><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
This verse does not mean that God will remove us from the planet, but
that He will protect us during trials and tribulations. There is a specific
time coming of worldwide disaster. The word "hour" does not mean 60
minutes; it does mean that the time will be relatively short, and it will be
controlled and limited. Worldwide disaster is coming; it will be limited in
time; God will protect us.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
God does not call crises "disaster," but "testing."
Despite the hardship and suffering, there will be a hidden purpose of God.
There is one purpose toward "non-believers" and another for
"believers." Although most unbelievers will not respond correctly,
God's purpose is to convince them to repent of wickedness. | Revelation 9:20 - <i>…the rest of mankind did not repent …</i> | Revelation 9:21 - <i>… they did not repent …</i>
| Revelation 16:9 - <i>… they did not repent …<o:p></o:p></i></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><b> God's purpose for the
faithful believers is to forge them and refine them for their special destiny.</b> Revelation – 5:9-10 <i>– You are worthy to take the scroll, and to
open its seals; and have redeemed us to God by Your blood out of every tribe
and tongue and people and nation; and have made us kings and priests to our
God; and we shall reign on the earth.</i> <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
The scroll of God contains His plan. The seals mean that this plan is
hidden to most people. Yeshua, who opens the seals, brings God's plan to come
to pass. <b>He reveals that plan to those
who serve Him.</b> This verse explains several key elements:<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"> *
<b>God has a plan.</b> Things are not
"going out of control." God's plan is not a spontaneous reaction to
circumstances, but one that is prepared beforehand. The plan is so concrete
that it is written down.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"> *
<b>Yeshua is the victor.</b> He opens the
seals. He conquers sin and Satan; death and hell. He is the leader of the
kingdom. He is the Lion of the tribe of Judah (verse 5).<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"> *
<b>We have a destiny.</b> God is using the
end times difficulties to purify and strengthen the heart of the righteous to
be a special people, as priests and kings (spiritual and government leaders).
We will reign with Him. Our destiny is to rule in the world to come together
with Yeshua. It is difficult now, but it will be worth it in the end. Our
destiny as a special chosen people to rule in the world to come together with
Yeshua is repeated: Revelation 20:4 <i>- …
They lived and reigned with Messiah for a thousand years.<o:p></o:p></i></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><b> We face times of
increasing tribulation in the end times. Those tribulations are a judgment
against the world; a purification of the Church; a preparation of a special
people for God; and a warning for people of every nation to repent.</b> <b>The
tribulations of the end times culminate in a massive world war in which all the
nations attack Israel</b> (Zechariah 14). <b>At
that time Yeshua will return as the head of the Church, the king of Israel, and
the commander of Heaven's army. <o:p></o:p></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
At that time the dead will be raised; the devil will be incarcerated;
and the kingdom of God set up on earth for a thousand years, with its capital
in Jerusalem. After that there will come an even better world, the New Creation
and New Jerusalem. Revelation 21:3-4 <i>– The tabernacle of God is with men, and He
will dwell with them… God will wipe away every tear… There will be no more
death, nor sorrow, nor crying.<o:p></o:p></i></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
There will be a perfect world for eternity. The Garden of Eden will be
restored. There will be no pain or evil<b>.
Tribulation is temporary; while paradise is permanent. Let us be strong in our
faith and endure to end. </b> (<a href="https://www.reviveisrael.org/post/crises-in-the-book-of-revelation-1">Article</a> available on the Revive Israel

</span></i></b><br />
Starting with the Klein’s personal section of their Emmaus Way prayer letter
carried over from last week, they speak about the wild ride that has been Covid
restrictions as Israel had planned to open the door to tourists 7/1, later
changed to 8/1 and other issues which have affected their ministry helpers, the
Winklers from re-entering the country: “unvaccinated
tourists were able to qualify with a week of quarantine, clergy applicants
could not. They needed the shot or a letter of exemption from a doctor.” Strange that religious reasons not
acceptable in Israel…but not really. Arni writes, “God has teamed them with a close and dear friend
from here in connecting with Jewish and Christian communities in Europe. They
are presently in Sicily, where God has prepared some wonderful things for them.”
We have to stay fluid, accepting that our plans are not always God’s
plans. <br />
They also write about the return to
Israel of their son and his family –wife and 4 children –from 15 yrs in
Australia. Their 18-yr old grandson is about to enlist in the IDF: “Please pray
for him to be placed in the position of God’s choosing. Please pray for our
16-year-old granddaughter as she enters her third year of high school to get
all the best help to master Hebrew in record time. Also for Mama and the two
younger ones to settle into their new life with much grace and abundant joy.
God has done great things for them…and us!”
Lastly, “<b>We continue gathering two mornings a week in our home along
with a faithful handful of local worshippers.</b> Regardless of how many or
few, as we present ourselves as living sacrifices for His good pleasure His
Presence is ever manifest.” </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">Ron Cantor writes for Tikkun Global urging prayer

New music alert from Ashira Project’s Eli Ben-Moshe with the release of a new
single and music video by Denis Gordishtyan and Lily Bocharnikov called <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9QUCKt9NYwk">Salvation Belongs to Our God</a>.
I watched it and it made me cry because I saw so many familiar faces of Messianic
ministers in Israel who were taking part in the music video. It is also a
beautiful worship composition. Eli also has a new single from Evan Levine, <a href="https://smarturl.it/EvanLevineSingle">Gracious and Merciful</a> - is now available on all major streaming
platforms. <br />
Here’s what you need to understand
about Eli’s Ashira Project – all of their music is free, but production costs
are not free. So please <b>consider supporting this project with a</b> <a href="https://tikkun.tv/eli-vanessa-ben-moshe-support/">donation</a> that will help cover recording, mixing, mastering,
graphics, video and distribution costs. And check out all of Ashira’s
discography now streaming on all major platforms. (If you didn’t know, Eli is the son of Marc
Chopinsky, former Israel’s Hope music writer who is now undoubtedly in the
ultimate worship band in Heaven). It is so important for the world to see and
hear the wonderful praise and worship ministers that are being raised up in
Israel. The restoration of the Levitical worshippers is a sign in itself.<br />

On the doorstep of S’derot, Michael and Dina Beener of the City of Life are
ministering to city always under the imminent threat of Islamic terrorism. Here
are some of the ways they are bringing help to the needy in their city: For <a href="https://www.clm-israel.org/autumn-holidays/">The Biblical Autumn Holidays</a>

school supplies at $60 per. Adult and child diapers are distributed <a href="https://www.clm-israel.org/2021/essential-help-for-the-needy/">Essential
Help For The Needy</a> and many other necessities that are beyond the
reach of so many living at or under the poverty level. They write, “Our
work would not be possible without the help of <a href="https://www.clm-israel.org/donate/">partners</a> like you, that is why we ask you to consider in
prayer the possibility of a monthly commitment.”<br />

Eric Benson of the Haifa <a href="http://www.carmelcongregation.org.il/ministries/house-victory">House of
Victory</a> rehab (connected to the Carmel Congregation) has sent many good
reports on those men they are working with, and have worked with in the past.
In such work, it is easy to become disappointed as the addicted often fall
despite all the best efforts to set them on the path to freedom, deliverance
and salvation. But even so, some return to try again. It was encouraging to read in this letter as Eric, who has done
this ministry for many years, spoke of how the Holy Spirit checked his own
heart in one case of a man who left badly, but now wanted to return. It was
also encouraging to see how God put a man in his path who had graduated years
earlier from the rehab in a “chance” meeting. The man has been stable for many
years after a rocky in-and-out history at the rehab. Now the man is serving
with his wife in a congregation in the area.
Another man, a gifted violinist who had graduated from the House of
Victory, was on hand to participate in the time of worship with Karen Davis and
others on one of the high places of Mount Carmel. Truly the work of restoring the fallen
addicts is treasured by God, who also sent His Son to be the kind of Shepherd
who would leave the 99 to seek the one who had strayed and was lost. <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">From Tiferet Yeshua who are feeding many in Tel Aviv
(this is where the addicts, sex workers, down and outs flock to from all over
Israel. Associate pastor Moti Cohen leads this outreach of <a href="https://www.tiferetyeshua.org/2021/08/18/first-aid-and-the-gospel-of-love/?unapproved=2000&moderation-hash=1e342d28cd0785f4dc51ad1b0d1052ab#comment-2000">The Gospel
of Love and a First Aid Kit</a>. He says the Lord gave him James 2:16 to
guide the ministry, but “we have also learned that we
need to have a first aid kit with us at all times. <i>Read more online</i>. Help us Feed Tel Aviv with a <a href="https://www.tiferetyeshua.org/give/">donation</a> today. <br />
In their Meet the Team section we
are introduced to Kosta a young immigrant who is devoted “solely to evangelism
and discipleship.” He is “especially devoted to staying in touch with new
seekers so that no one falls through the cracks.” He has “a deep understanding
into the Word and a special gift of leading people into study of the Word. He
is gentle, patient and devoted to new believers on their journey of giving
their lives to the Lord.” A “tremendous blessing” to the Tiferet Yeshua team. <br />

Prayer & Exploits in Nazareth is preparing for the Jewish New Yer of 5782, “a year of building and establishing God's house.”
Among some of the things they are doing are social media campaigns and “a new
series of teachings for the youth on <i>Secrets
of the Vine</i>." In July
joined in prayer gatherings of Arab and Jewish
believer leaders who came together to intercede for reconciliation – see video
reports (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Tg-zqwMgLI">1</a> and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D26LdRylLtU">2</a>). Also
Rania organized a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hE1IHTipjhs">prayer

also writes about the coming Fall Feasts with this article <a href="https://www.streamsinthenegev.com/school-of-fish/">the
Appointed Times of the LORD/YHVH</a>. He writes about Afghanistan and
the signs of the times: “we hear of many Afghans who are
believers, and also in Iran, and who are being faithful witnesses of the truth
of the gospel and the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, even in the face of the
terrific persecution and brutality that they face. Their reward is great in the Kingdom of God.”<br /> Also a
great milestone in the congregation: “Thursday evening Yeshua's Inheritance
will have a praise, worship, and prayer event.
<b>We now have air conditioning! </b>After
26 years of sweat and chills. Thanks to God for bringing us thus far. David and Lisa Loden will be joining us for
our services this Shabbat. This will be
their third visit over the last several months.
David, especially, has been helping our music teams, and especially
those who lead them, in how to lead praise and worship, and now to work
together. David and Lisa were the first
persons that we met in Israel when we came 40 years ago. They were pioneers in
writing and composing original Hebrew-language songs for use in the Messianic
congregations services.” </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">Leon Mazin of Return to Zion in Haifa writes about his recent brush with Covid –
and not only his, but a great many of his congregation and family: “<b>Since
March 2020, when Covid first came to Israel, God's hand guarded the entire
congregation and everyone around the congregation. This was not a matter of our
pride, but we clearly saw that the Lord covers and helps.</b> Since we are not
only a congregation, but a community center - with a music school, a center for
humanitarian aid, a place of various activities in the middle of Haifa,
hundreds of people pass through our congregation every week, and it was easy to
especially see the grace of God and his protection. <b>But on July 23rd, we
gathered only members of the congregation, 60% came of the total, and by some
unknown means, Covid broke into the congregation.<br />
“Everyone was infected in diverse
ways.</b> I was in the hospital for 10 days in intensive care, I was able to
understand everything that was passing over my head, I felt lucky. <b>There was
no fear of death, but death was there ...</b> There was God's Grace and there
were many sincere prayers of friends. <b>A strange feeling happened when the
oxygen level dropped, fear did not come. In all probability inside everyone,
there is something that removes resistance and opens us up for the moment of
meeting with thy God, the Grace of God determined otherwise, and now I am back
at home with my family, and we are all recovering together.</b> <b>Everyone has
been ill, even our 3-month-old grandson. <br />
“In Return to Zion Congregation,
about eighty people also fell ill. Covid infected those who were vaccinated and
the unvaccinated.</b> August, as a planned month for vacation, turned into a
month of illness and recovery! And I just want to say, God is the one who will
help us get through all of this, he is faithful!”<br />
<br />
Also Cody and LIat Archer write about their brush with Covid: “<b>We have come
through the dark valley of COVID and have just been released from three weeks
of quarantine (Hallelujah!). </b> . . . All
of us tested positive for COVID except our son Elisha. He was tested three
times, but we must not have gone on the right days to test him. It also took me
three tests before my results came back positive, despite having most of the
COVID symptoms for three days already. All of our kids had at least one day
with a minor fever and fatigue, and only Hallel had a cough that remained a few
days after. COVID was a breeze for our kids thank God. <b>Liat and I on the
other hand were hit much harder</b>. We felt horrible and it took two weeks
before we began feeling ourselves again. Having to hit the ground running each
morning to serve our kids with meals, clean up, laundry… when all we wanted to
do was lie down and rest was a major challenge. We had to do shift work to stay
afloat.<br /> “<b>Police
Visits and Community</b> | During our three weeks in quarantine, the police
visited our home five times to confirm that we were actually abiding by the law
and staying home. This was not a pleasant feeling. BUT We are so thankful for
our non-believing community in Had Nes and the families in our home fellowship
who stepped up to serve us when we most needed it with meals and delivering
special requests. After not meeting for the past month with our home
fellowship, we were finally able to host them on the weekend at our home. It
was so nice to share updates and pray together again face to face.<br /> <b> “ Prayer Requests</b> | For our taste and
smell to fully return, and Cody's fatigue to disappear. | We are praying about
a trip to Canada this fall, and need clear direction that this is the right
timing and for the grace to jump through all the bureaucratic hoops connected
to COVID. | We have many big decisions to make over the next few months
concerning building a home and selling our apartment. Pray for wisdom and
peace.”</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">From Chaim Malespin and the Aliyah Return center: despite 4,400 deadly rocket

<br />
I was looking for a scripture to use in <i>Arrows</i>
about HOPE after reading the good report “Hope is the best Medicine” from Tents
of Mercy about Eitan Shishkoff and Leon Mazin recovering from Covid.<br />
Something just struck me as profound as soon
as I laid eyes on the first time the word “hope” is used in the Bible because
of the biblical principle of "First Mention." This gist of this principle:
"Under the First Mention principle, the idea is that God indicates <u>the
truth that stands in His mind that will not change later on</u>. This means
that the initial discussion of any subject in the Bible would have unusual
significance."<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b>Everyone talks about the
importance of FAITH, but it is impossible to have faith if we have no hope to
start with.</b> <br />
I found the first use of the word
HOPE in Ruth 1 where Naomi is telling her two daughters-in-law, Orpha and Ruth,
to turn back and return to their own homes, because she has no HOPE of
providing them with two new sons to replace her two dead sons they were married
to. <br />
This concept of replacement of sons
is based on Deuteronomy 25:5-6. <i>"the
wife of the dead man shall not be married outside the family to a stranger. Her
husband’s brother shall go in to her and take her as his wife and perform the
duty of a husband’s brother to her." </i> In case of the death of her husband, the wife
was to remain in the family by marrying her husband’s brother.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Naomi tells her daughters-in-law, 'Even if I found a husband tonight and
bore sons,’ it would be a long wait before her sons were grown to marry Orpah
and Ruth. Naomi tells them it grieves
her for her daughter-in-laws sakes that she has no other sons who can step up
to marry and take care of them. Naomi says she has no hope because "the
hand of the LORD is gone out against me."<br />
Naomi, is of course a type of
Israel—life has gone wrong and she is returning to her own land a hopeless and
embittered widow whose sons have also died. Sound familiar? Ruth, we know is a
type of the Gentile Church who will not be turned away from Naomi's side. She
is devoted to her mother-in-law regardless of what the future may hold. Might
Orpha also be a type of the gentile church too? Might she represent the part of
the church that looks at her mother-in-law (Israel) and says, 'You're right,
there is no hope for me with you. You
look out for you and I'll look out for me.'<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Those who have no hope cannot have a merry heart, they are broken [naka]
in spirit. HOPE really is the best
medicine.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: 0.5in;"><i>"A merry heart makes a cheerful
countenance: but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is </i>[naka] <i>broken."</i> Proverbs 15:13<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: 0.5in;"><i>"A merry heart does good like a
medicine, but a broken </i>[naka]
<i>broken spirit dries the bones."</i> Proverbs 17:22 <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: 0.5in;"><i>"The spirit of a man will sustain
his infirmity; but a wounded </i>[naka] <i>broken spirit who can
bear?"</i> Proverbs 18:14<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
If the dots do connect, then the Church that sticks with Israel is like
Ruth: Israel, like Naomi, has returned
to their own land, but Israelis are still essentially hopeless and embittered
of spirit. We, like Ruth, have the “HOPE against hope” to trust in the LORD and
to stick with Israel come what may. <br />
But the Church that turns away like
Orpha, does not have the HOPE in the LORD necessary to do what God has called
us to do in these last days. They will turn back, away from Israel while the
Ruth Church will re-infuse Israel with the HOPE in the LORD that will see both
of us through to God’s good end for us. <o:p></o:p></p><div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: center;">

Requests Israeli Ministries<br />
</span></i></b><br />
<b><i>Hope
is the best Medicine</i></b> is the title of the ministry report received from
Tents of Mercy’s Avi and Hannah Tekle this week. Eitan Shishkoff is Hannah’s
dad and they were bringing good news indeed. Even though Eitan and Leon Mazin
of Return to Zion congregation had been hit hard by Covid, both have been
improving and it my latest report is correct, both are out of quarantine. Also
the younger men with the Katzir camp have improved to (and I’m assuming this
means Joel Jelski and Cody Archer). <br />
In other Tents of Mercy news they
reported that they went through many plans for the younger children’s summer
camp because of the continually changing regulations in Israel but finally were
able to do “Plan C” which was a 2-day, 20 kids success “outside fun in the hot Israeli sun!”
Now they are awaiting to see what the upcoming school season will be like – in person
or by Zoom. Regardless the congregation
is still out caring for their community, with preparations for “the fall feast
food outreach. Please pray that it will bring HOPE and encouragement to the
recipients and that God would touch each one on our list in a deep and lasting
way that goes far beyond the physical receipt of food items.”<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">Up next a report from Restoration from Zion, Dan and Patty Juster,
and Ben and Lorena Juster’s personal ministry letter. Dan has been suffering from what is described
as a mild case of Covid. Upon re-entry to Israel, he tested positive for Covid,
but Patty did not. We are hearing reports that he is improving, although I
believe he is still in quarantine – sleeping more than he ever has in his life.
In his portion of the ministry letter Dan talks about the great meetings they
had with the Chinese Church of Rockland, Co. New York, also with “the time with Jerry
Dirman was so fruitful, and the time at Church of the Rock in Anaheim,
California was amazing. Also “in Denver
with Pastors Dave and Dee Dee Thompson at Gateway on Mt. Zion was also an
impactful time of new connection and unity.” <br />
<br />
DD: These interactions with churches
committed to standing with Israeli ministries are on the rise in the United
States, as I hope they are in all other nations too. In fact, I have an article
in the upcoming <i>Messianic Times</i> for
Sept about the Gateway Dallas’ Center for Israel which is also urging their
network to understand the Divine call to the Church to stand with and support
Messianic Israel. We have been waiting for decades to see the charismatic
church awaken to our “duty” towards Messianic Israel and what Dan and Ben Juster
are engaged in developing relationships is also a huge part of that dream come
true. Like Psalm 126:1 <i>“When the Lord
restored the captives of Zion, we were like those who dream [it seemed surreal].</i>”
Returning the captives of Zion is a spiritual issue, not just a physical
return, <u>and it cannot happen without the partnership of the Church with
Messianic Israel</u>. <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">Ben Juster also wrote about their work with teens and
young adults “hungry for authentic believers
to invite them into relationships with Yeshua and to be challenged to live a
life that is sold out for God's Kingdom.” Patty Juster wrote how, “through
God's grace, each one of us can walk through the fire, climb high mountains,
solve impossible problems.” We may not do what someone else is doing, but God’s
grace is there for us in what we stand in.<br />

Betty are moving back to Jerusalem as a message he has been carrying in his
heart for almost 4 decades (the “stake prophecy” from Isaiah 22) is “a
fulfillment of our calling; a spiritual "alignment" with God's plan
for us and our ministry.” </span><span style="text-indent: 0.5in;"> </span><span style="text-indent: 0.5in;">The passage “speaks
of a man named Eliakim who became a government leader in Jerusalem in the time of
Isaiah and Hezekiah. The stake is also symbolic of the cross of Yeshua, who
would come to be crucified on a stake and then rule on the throne of David from
Jerusalem. </span><span style="text-indent: 0.5in;"> </span><span style="text-indent: 0.5in;">For me the stake also
represents the remnant of Messianic Jews in these last days, who stand in faith
for the prophecies about Jerusalem and Yeshua. In any case, I have always felt
a personal identification with this passage as a calling to serve the Lord in
Jerusalem.”</span><span style="text-indent: 0.5in;"> </span><span style="text-indent: 0.5in;">He writes, “The stake is a
claim of inheritance by faith in every land. Put your stake in the ground.
Believe for your nation. Take dominion in spirit and prayer. Let's stretch our
tent and strengthen our cords. This tent has a central "stake" in
Jerusalem, which helps to bring unity and alignment to the rest of the stakes. The
stakes are connected to keys (Isaiah 22:22; Matthew 16:16-19; 18:18-20). The
stake represents a faith claim toward the earth. The keys open the windows of
heaven above. Wherever you are, put your stake in the ground beneath and open
the heavens above.”</span><span style="text-indent: 0.5in;"> </span><b style="text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="color: red; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">You can also watch the

Ministries in Tel Aviv is asking for 2 things: 1. That you would be praying for
them: “that the people of Tel Aviv and all of Israel would hear the gospel
clearly and embrace </span><span style="text-indent: 0.5in;"> </span><span style="text-indent: 0.5in;">the salvation that
God offers in Yeshua | that the youth of Israel would know and grow their
God-given identity | that God would prepare believers for the future | that the
increase in post-pandemic domestic violence would cease in Tel Aviv and across
Israel | that the Israeli government would walk in wisdom and make decisions
that honor God, even as we “pray for the peace of Jerusalem” (Psalm 122:6).”
The second thing is what MUST BE RELEASED TO EVERY ISRAELI MESSIANIC MINISTRY
WE KNOW:</span><span style="text-indent: 0.5in;"> </span><span style="text-indent: 0.5in;">Financial support for the
ministry. They write, “As God answers our prayers, we are seeing a flood of new
opportunities to minister and many doors are opening. </span><span style="text-indent: 0.5in;"> </span><b style="text-indent: 0.5in;">Honestly, the needs we see around us are
much greater than we can meet.</b><span style="text-indent: 0.5in;"> We need your help to continue to touch as many
lives in Israel as possible through our coffeehouse outreach, Distribution
Center, media ministry, congregation, and all of our other local outreaches and
street ministries.”</span><span style="text-indent: 0.5in;"> <br /></span><span style="text-indent: 0.5in;"> </span><span style="text-indent: 0.5in;"> </span><span style="text-indent: 0.5in;">This ministry is ROCK Solid! “For more than
30 years, DUGIT Messianic Outreach Center has been bringing the Good News of
Yeshua to the people of Israel. Our heartbeat is to share the gospel, make
disciples, pray without ceasing, and care for the hurting. Our Outreach Center

The Aviv Ministry is for evangelism and ministry to addicts on the streets of Tel
Aviv, headed by Dov Bikas. Back in Beer Sheva where their congregation is, Dov
and wife Olga are also running a men’s rehab and a women’s shelter. Currently
they have 11 in the Beer Sheva rehab. “One of our newcomers is a 28-year-old N.
from Arad. Several weeks ago, we got a call from an elderly lady who was
looking for a rehab for him. It turned out that she was not his mother or any
relative. She simply met him in her neighbourhood and had pity on him, and used
to let him come to her place from time to time to eat and rest. She is not a
believer and she was helping him even though she was a bit afraid of him as a
total stranger and a problematic alcoholic… When she called us (she received
our telephone number from her believing neighbours), she was asking such
questions about the rehab and the conditions in it as if looking for a place
for her son. We were truly impressed by this lady and her heart for N. Today he
is in the rehab and is doing really well. He is also attending our church and
is very open to the Gospel. Please pray for him and the other rehabilitants.<br />
In the women’s shelter – including “a
native Israeli girl, a Russian Jewish immigrant, an Ethiopian Jewish girl and
an Arab lady. We are glad the Lord is bringing us ladies from all major groups
of Israeli society, so we can share His light and love with them. Please keep
praying for all the residents of the Shelter.” See the

of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for Me.’ </i> They write, “Yeshua had an immense heart for
the needy and destitute. The author in Hebrews says of Him, “both the One who
makes people holy, and those who are made holy, are of the same family.
Therefore He [Yeshua] is not ashamed to call them brothers and sisters”
(Hebrews 2:11). When we seek after God and share His heart for His world and
especially the Promised Land where He chose to put His Name, it is then clear
WHY we do what we do. We are doing it TO Him, and FOR His glory.<br /><b> “The Aliyah Return Center vision became
reality over 8 years ago</b> with only a small
group of people volunteering and reaching out to fill the many needs of the new
immigrants and needy in Galilee, starting with food clothing and shelter.. .. See
the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RnjdN8HHjTI">VIDEO</a>
and <a href="https://aliyahreturncenter.com/en/donate?mc_cid=7a98c353cd">support the
work</a> of the Aliyah Return Center.<br /></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Ron Cantor also writes with concern for the needy: “Over the past year, we have
raised funds for people in Israel suffering because of the pandemic, helping
those who were out of work, Holocaust survivors (who have been so lonely),
foreign workers, and others. We just heard from a young Messianic leader and
his wife, who ran a school that had to close. They have both taken part-time
jobs! Because of you, we sent them 2,000 shekels ($622) and have helped so many
others!” Then they discovered they had “just over $10,000 still in our Covid
fund! I immediately sent out an email to congregational leaders all over
Israel, asking them if they had needs. We didn’t want those funds in the bank
but distributed to people in need….<b>Within 24 hours, we had given away all of
the funds.</b> But the problem is, people kept responding. And I can’t say no.
We’ve been making more donations, giving out of our general budget…. All of the
requests are vetted by congregational leaders. We do not just send out funds
because people ask. We work through local fellowships….. I told our team to
stop the fundraising campaign for a studio in Jerusalem—we have received the
initial funds needed, and we have a path forward. Now is the time to focus on
Israeli families in need. 100% of your donation will go to bless Israelis!
Please consider a generous gift today to help Israelis in need. God bless you!
Let’s show believers in Israel how much their friends around the world love
them. Just to go to <a href="http://www.blessisrael.co/">http://www.blessisrael.co</a> to stand with Israeli Messianic Jews in need.<br />

restrictions in Israel are imposing much stricter rules on charitable donations

got this in from the <b>HaCarmel
congregation led by Dani and LuAnne Sayag noting</b>, “Only
our official govt-registered name, “Kanfei Shahar,” can be used in making wire
transfers, on checks, and any other method of donation. Please do not add any
additional words such as "Kehilat HaCarmel," "Carmel
Congregation," "Or HaCarmel," or any name related to our
ministries, as the donation may not be accepted by the bank. [<b>For more
details, contact the congregation by email or consult the website</b> (which is

In their ministry news, Peter Tsukahira, a co-founding Pastor, writes about
keeping our wine skins “new” because “Old
wineskins are hard, brittle and become cracked. New wineskins are soft and
pliable. They stretch. Yeshua meant us to understand that our lives are like
the wineskins in His parable. Our hearts and minds can be either hard or soft.
We can become rigid in our faith, or flexible and able to stretch to encompass
growth and new directions from the Lord. Humility is required for new growth,
but a heart unwilling to change may eventually become a heart unable to change.”<br />
In prayer requests: Please continue to pray for Israel’s new
government as they struggle to find the right path of action in this very
difficult (Covid) situation. Another lockdown is being discussed | Both of our
borders are very hot right now, especially the northern border. On August 6th,
nineteen <a href="https://www.timesofisrael.com/with-first-rocket-attack-in-15-years-hezbollah-risks-war-to-test-israel/">katusha
rockets slammed into areas</a> in northern
Israel. Please pray against war, and wildfires fueled by arson as we endure the
last days of summer | Lebanese believers need protection right now. The
financial and political situation there is in crisis since the blast in the
port last summer. Please pray for Lebanon | <b>Last month we posted a prayer
request for our maintenance team</b> and a list of needs they have. <b>Since
that time, there have been health and family issues which have made it even
more challenging for the team.</b> We deeply appreciate your prayers for
protection and refreshing for all our staff | We continue to distribute
clothing and parcels of food through Hadar HaCarmel, however we have had to
pause the Hot Meal project as of this week because of the green pass
regulations imposed on Beit Yedidia, because it is registered as a hotel.
Medabrim continues to receive thousands of “hits” on their Hebrew-language
posts and videos.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">Arni Klein’s letter was too long to get into this
email by the time it arrived yesterday, so I did a maximum edit on his thoughts
about all the chaos going on and the challenges of knowing what is fact and what
is agenda, how God is sovereign and thereby “He is never in the position of responding to the enemy....In
seeking to understand the present, we find it helpful if not essential to go to
the end of the road and look back from there. Everything culminates in the
return of the King and must be viewed in that light. Chief among the road
markers of what leads up to that day is the removal of Israel’s blindness and
blessing the One who comes in the Name of the Lord. ...Remembering the spirit
of our beginnings in the light of the now is stirring and challenging. Our dynamics
in this present crossing over are similar but not exactly the same. ...<b>While pondering all this a word came into
my mind: “Eternalize, Eternalize</b>.” Cover it all with the cloak of eternity.
Strive to see from Father’s perspective. It’s quite a different picture from
there.... . The enemy’s curses and threats and arrows first come before the One
in Whom we are hidden. We do not want to superficially simplify a deeply
complex matter. The bottom line is more about our inner spiritual state than
our visible actions. We want to present all of this for prayer and
consideration and not as hard and fast doctrine.” <br />
Next week I will resume in the more
personal aspects of what is going on in the Emmaus Way ministry.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal;"><b><i><u><span style="color: #1f497d; font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Urgent HEALING Needs: Life and Death is in the power of the tongue</span></u></i></b><b><i><u><span style="color: #1f497d; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"> <br />

Summary of Prayer Requests Israeli Ministries</span></i></b></p><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">Rachel Netanel (“The House that God Gave”) is thankful
for the prayers as her broken ankle has healed just in time for one of the
busiest months of her life. She writes with great joy about two nieces—one
married in the garden of Rachel and Gilad’s home in an openly Messianic
ceremony attended by dozens of mostly unbeliever guests…many who wanted to hear
more about the faith of the hosts of the wedding.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The second niece Rachel has been teaching
about the Lord since 2004. Rachel recognized the time of faith had come and
asked Asher Intrater to come talk to her niece which he did explaining the
faith for three hours with her and how she needs to be baptized. “</span><span style="color: black; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">As many of you are aware, for a Jew, the ceremony of
baptism is a huge step and many have fallen away because they are afraid to
make this commitment and the persecution this brings from family and friends.”
The niece said she was ready so a date was set “and made the arrangements for
the baptism to be in our garden in Ein Kerem, the traditional home of John, the
Baptist (how very fitting). You may recall that when I had led an Arab to the
Lord years ago, he build a little pool so that he could be baptized in it,”
Rachel writes. <br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But here is the best part of the
report, “Asher taught and performed the ceremony, but what touched me most was
how her husband and children all held her hand as she went into the baptismal
waters. The baptism, itself was so very powerful and emotional. First, she
started to cry (and did so for 2 hours), then her even her husband was crying
and her children and her mother (my sister). My eyes could contain the water no
longer as I looked at the tears on many faces. This was a spiritual experience
that no one will ever forget, whether they are believers or not… we were all
touched by the Holy Spirit. She said that in her whole life, she had never
experienced “holiness” like this before. It was better than giving birth to her
children. Her husband hugged her and they cried together. Something had
happened that I had never seen in my life. Now she cannot stop talking about
Yeshua to everyone.” </span><span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">From Avi Tekle at Tents of Mercy in Kiryat Yam sends a
call for prayers over their ministry family and friends suffering from the
round of Covid that hit so many attending the youth camp a few weeks ago,
including Eitan Shishkoff and Leon Mazin. Leon was in the hospital but has been
released – a little better but still in need of prayer as he is still coughing
and oxygenation is not normal yet.

teeters on complete economic collapse. Also asking prayers for upcoming Bible-themed
outdoor activity days for our children who have been strongly affected by this season
of insecurity. They want to provide some fun and time together as a community.

bring a negative test with him. But you never know what is going to happen from
the time you get the test until the time you arrive at the retreat. Apparently
one participant, through no fault of his own, arrived with the virus.” The good
news is that God moved powerfully at the conference and “As a result of the
corona outbreak, the youth and counselors are continuing the summer camp on
Zoom and WhatsApp, sharing words of encouragement with each other, praising the
Lord together, spending time in prayer and hearing the word of God. Many young
people returned to the Lord during the conference and are now continuing to
connect with the Lord in such a powerful way. <b>Please keep them in your prayers.”<br />

in preparation for the High Holydays of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, starts
early next week. During this month, the shofar is sounded every morning and
many Jews go to synagogue, asking for forgiveness, repenting of whatever
misdeeds they can think of, trying to get themselves right with both God and
man. What an awesome time to pray that God would reveal Messiah Yeshua to them.”
Two of the prayer points:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“<u>Give
unsaved Jews both courage and a great curiosity to ask Messianic Jews about
what they believe and anoint those believers with a Holy Spirit anointed answer</u>
(Matt. 10:19; 1 Pet. 3:15). <u>Turn some radical Jewish anti-missionaries just
like You did with the Apostle Paul</u> (Acts. 26:9-19).”<br />

the Dividing Wall of Hostility</span></a>. Arab pastor Maroon recently spoke at
the congregation. His testimony goes from homeless, drug user who hated the
Jews to faith in the Jewish Messiah.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Also meet pastor Moti Cohen who they call “the heart of Tiferet Yeshua”
because of his generous and kindly character. “<span style="color: black; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">In
addition to <a href="https://tikkun.tv/feed-tel-aviv-a-surprise-benefit/">leading
outreach to the homeless in south Tel Aviv</a>, Moti prepares the youth for
their bar and bat mitzvas, disciples new believers and devotes time counseling
and supporting believers who are dealing with difficulties in their lives. If
someone is sick, Moti is there with homemade food. If someone is in prison,
Moti visits. Moti also has a special gift for supporting believers suffering
from psychological disorders.” The ‘mean streets’ of Tel Aviv are scary, if you
have never seen them first hand, and it does take people with a special
anointing from God to minister in such place of the world.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><br />

the difficulty of getting to the truth in the days that we are living
currently. The pithy version is: “it takes a lot of time and effort, but it is
possible. The first thing we should do is ask the Holy Spirit to give us that
inner witness as to whether we are hearing truth or not. Secondly, almost all
unclassified information is posted on the internet. All you need to do is type
the question into your browser and an unending trail of information will open
up for you. Now comes the difficult and time consuming part - checking who is
the source of the information that was posted, the background of the person or
organization who posted it, and then to double check the validity of the facts
they are presenting.. . . to repeat the words of Yeshua, please be very careful
what you watch, read or listen to - CHECK IT OUT before accepting it as truth,
even if it fits with what you already believe.” <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For the full commentaries, you can subscribe

The next thing up is Avner Boskey’s <a href="https://davidstent.org/nine-blind-indians-and-the-israeli-elephant/">Nine

because it not only delves into the great number of viewpoints of people on the
Covid viruses, but also the thought control<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>forces at work in the current state. If you read Boskey, you know that
he deep dives into research before putting pen to paper, that’s why when he
writes, “My wife Rachel began to monitor the rise in Israel of verified harmful
medical side-effects of the vaccines collected by The Israeli Public Emergency
Council for the Covid19 Crisis. These are headed up by some of the country’s
top doctors, professors and researchers. Whereas I had originally cast a
critical eye on any of this, I soon came face to face with sufficient and
convincing evidence. My own original cynicism had caused me to disqualify real
people who had suffered real damage. I came to the realization that I myself
was in some ways acting similar to one of our nine blind Indians. It is not
enough merely to say, “I’ve heard nothing about side-effects; therefore nothing
exists!” <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><a href="https://davidstent.org/nine-blind-indians-and-the-israeli-elephant/">Continue

From Marianna Gol, whose Afikim BaNegev is a ministry serving “widows and
orphans,” a great follow up report on their recent youth camp. “The messages
brought by our wonderful speaker Michael were relevant and thought provoking
and impactful for our kids, but probably none of us expected that over half of
the campers and some of the counselors would raise their hands to give or
recommit their lives to Yeshua after the powerful message in club time of the
final evening. The next morning when asked to stand and declare that "I
have begun my life anew in Yeshua" most of those same kids stood up and
declared this one by one. It was clear throughout the camp even from what we
could see with our eyes and hear with our ears that kids were engaging with the
word of God, and that they were being lifted up, encouraged, strengthened,
convicted of sin, renewed, and transformed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>How much more was going on within them that we could not perceive!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We are so grateful for God's faithfulness. Of
course the uplifting camp environment and home are worlds apart. The delicate
new growth is fragile when being bombarded by the world all around, by peers,
by the media, and by dysfunctional families and challenging circumstances.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Please join us in praying for all those that
committed and recommitted their lives to the Lord….pray for those who are
particularly burdened at this time including one young person “from his own
admission, somewhat suicidal.”<br />

Diorio | Tony and I are in the midst of major changes around our house. We
finally got our waterbed out of the bedroom and a new bed moved in. We started
sleeping on a waterbed in 1981 and loved the comfort level for decades, but as
we have aged, it has become a real pain to our bodies. Finally we are rid of
it, but in taking it down was a two-day, extreme physical process. Both of our
computer rooms were turned into utter chaos with all the overflow furniture and
miscellaneous stuff from the bedroom. To do one bedroom makeover we had to
wreck all three rooms.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Now things are going back into place
and we are all - our two little <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">old </i>dogs
included - happy now that things are coming back together. Especially me! I
feel so good because the changes have allowed me (okay, I confess: have
motivated me) to do the deep-deep cleaning that was so needed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Dust be gone! Our house produces an
incredible amount of dust and I had years ago let it get away from me. Now it
is undergoing a major dust-busting and I am amazed at how much dust is being
removed from our house.<br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yesterday I saw a Facebook meme
about the <b>Genesis 3:13-15 curse on the Serpent, how the Serpent would devour
dust all the days of his life because of beguiling the woman.</b> Of course,
dealing with all this physical dust in my house, made me think about what the
spiritual dust means to me too. <br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>By "beguiling" it simply
means the Serpent told the woman a lie and she believed it. That's the
Serpent's M.O. lie-telling. Every thought that goes wandering across our minds
is not our own reasoning but many times it is the lie-telling of the serpent.
The "dust" in our lives that the Serpent feeds on are the lies we
believe that are counter to what God's Word tells us.<br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><b>Do you remember that old saying,
"Repeat a lie often enough and people will believe it."</b> We see
that happening at fever pitch in our days on a macro-level, because the days
are short. But the truth is, the Serpent has been devouring us at micro-level
since Eve in the garden of Eden. Whether we realize it fully or not, our minds
are the battlefield where the enemy of our souls wins or loses the battle for
our lives. That is where the enemy eats our lunch. <br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That is why the apostle Paul told us
in 2 Corinthians 10:5 that we MUST "throw down thoughts (or the walls or
embankments raised as a defensive fortification against/in opposition to) the
deeper more perfect and enlarged knowledge of God, and we capture the thoughts
of our own mind to come into compliance and submission to Messiah." <br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That was my translation take on what
the original language words were communicating to us in verse 5. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was especially struck with the options for
"and every pretension" because as I read the options, what I got was
"defense mechanism." <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Because
defense mechanisms are that we ourselves throw up as walls to self-protect.
This too is based on a lie because the walls we erect are always in opposition
to the knowledge of God. Plus self-protection itself is a Serpent’s lie that we
believe will protect us but instead is meant to harm us.<br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I think all of this is the spiritual
parallel to "cleaning the dust out of my house" and that I must look
at where the dust bunnies are collecting in my own thought life. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Our thought lives must undergo some spiritual
dust-busting too, so our minds are clean and set on the LORD as the only source
of truth in life. If the Serpent feeds on dust, let him not find it in the dust
collecting in our thought life. <br />
<br />
<b>For we are both the "dust of the earth" and the very breath of God</b><br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Then
the LORD God formed man from the dust of the ground and breathed the breath of
life into his nostrils, and the man became a living being.</i> Genesis 2:7<br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">By
the sweat of your face you shall eat bread, till you return to the ground, for
out of it you were taken; for you are dust, and to dust you shall return."</i>
Genesis 3:19<br />
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>As a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion
on those who fear Him. For He knows how we are formed; He remembers that we are
dust.</i><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Psalm 103:134-14<br />

<br />
Several times in scripture God says that He closed the eyes and ears of the
Jews so they could not perceive His miracles and understand what it meant. (Deuteronomy
29:2-4 for example). Then, again in Isaiah 6:10 <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">"Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and
shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and
understand with their heart, and return/be restored and be healed." <br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></i>Why would God do such a thing as
make the Jewish people incapable of seeing and hearing and understanding with
their heart the miracles God performed for their sakes? Why make it nearly
impossible for Israel to perceive her own Messiah? I cannot begin to explain
God’s thinking on this, but I will say what God’s Word tells me: it was done to
create a channel to open salvation to all nations and all peoples, and not just
to the Jews. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Israel had to reject the
Messiah for a season to make the way for God to open the eyes and ears of the
rest of the peoples of the world. God’s heart is and remains for ALL peoples,
including the Jews.</span><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>It is important to know that God moved early in His dealings with Israel
to create the channel of opening salvation beyond just Israel and the Jewish
people. God did not speak a “partial blindness” on Israel because He had come
to hate the stubbornly sinful Jews like so many have supposed. Truth be told
ALL of humankind is stubbornly sinful but God had a rescue plan – a plan to
rescue all of us from ourselves and it was a plan He set in motion FROM THE
BEGINNING. <br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>God’s plan called for choosing out a
BLOOD line of people in the earth to be God's people. To them He would give all
His instructions in righteousness (The Torah). To them He would give the line
of succession to the King of the whole earth: Yeshua. To them He would make an
everlasting covenant and promises that are still in force today. To them He
would return in the fullness of time to restore this people to Himself in His
Son. To ALL, however, to be reconciled to God, we must come through the BLOOD
line of the sacrificial death of Yeshua. No exemptions. Yeshua died once for
ALL.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Over the 2,000 year period of Christianity, it has been widely
misunderstood that putting a veil of blindness over the eyes and deafness to
hearing and understanding the Gospel of the Jews was always in God’s plan from
the beginning. It was not Plan B, it was always Plan A.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Even so a REMNANT of Jews responded to seeing
and hearing Yeshua in His earthly ministry and after He ascended to the Father.
If not, <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>dear Christian, you would not be
saved today because it was an Israeli Messianic Jewish Remnant saved by grace
in Messiah Yeshua who carried the Gospel out to the four corners of the earth! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Once again in our day there is an Israeli
Messianic Jewish Remnant of around 20,000 who are carrying the Gospel within
Israel. They are citizens, not tourists, not visitors. They are fully invested
in the State of Israel and in the Kingdom of our dear LORD. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Since the reestablishment of Jews to
the Holy Land and the reestablishment of the State of Israel among the nations,
Jews across the world are again seeing with their eyes, and hearing with their
ears, and understanding with their heart, returning to God through Yeshua and being
restored and healed. This "remnant" of believing Jews exist today in
an ocean of unbelieving Jews and we must discern between their two different
spiritual states: <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Jewish believers
differ from unbelieving Jews. But we also must remember that God has designs on
the unbelieving Jews too. Believers are our spiritual relatives by shared faith
in Yeshua/Jesus. <br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We are not “Blood-related” to
unbeliever Jews…yet! We don’t love the one and hate the other, but we already
have a Jesus-bond with every single Messianic Jew in the world and we do not
share that family bond with unbelieving Jews. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So there is a certain tension to
balance between our understanding that an unbelieving Jew is an enemy of the
Gospel who might even try to harm us because of our faith (one example is
identified below), and the necessity to remember how God wants unbelieving Jews
to come to faith. We are not to be a stumbling block to them coming to faith, but
we also don't regard unbelieving Jews as already having faith. Jews do not have
some other kind of covenant with God that makes Yeshua unnecessary for them to
be reconciled through. We must always recognize God wants Jews to be restored through
the Blood of Yeshua too. He is the ONLY Door to salvation. Scripture is crystal
clear on that point.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Even though we are seeing more and more Jews awakening and coming to
faith in Yeshua, the majority of Jews in the world today continue to be as
described by Isaiah</span> <span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">—blind
and deaf to the way of Salvation. So it is important for us not to lose sight
of that reality, because of what the apostle Paul wrote to the Romans which is
still true today: <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">"And so all Israel
will be saved, as it is written: “The Deliverer will come from Zion; He will
remove godlessness from Jacob. And this is My covenant with them when I take
away their sins.” REGARDING THE GOSPEL, THEY ARE ENEMIES (dia) for your sakes;
but regarding election, they are loved on account of the patriarchs."</i><o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>That word "dia" is translated several ways, "on your
account" or "for your benefit" or “for your advantage” but what
it really means is that the Jews were made enemies of the Gospel "denoting
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">the channel</i> of an act." So the
blinding the Jews to restoration to God through Messiah Yeshua is the act which
God imposed in order to open a channel of salvation to all the nations. Jews
were made “enemies of the Gospel” and it is almost as if God gave the
Christians in all the nations the ultimate test of our hearts with them. Are
our hearts sacrificed to the will of His heart? Are we being transformed to His
likeness to the point that even the “enemies of the Gospel” we can view from
His eyes of compassion? <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>God is removing the blindness of the Jews in our day and it will reach
its peak in Him removing the blindness so that <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">"all Israel shall be saved."<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span></i>But between now and then, do not consider it strange to see Jewish
enemies of the Gospel causing real trouble for believers. Our test is to keep the
natural reality and spiritual reality of our relationship with Jews in light
Romans 11:28 in Divine balance.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Now a "remnant" of believing Jews exists already - one million
plus worldwide - but there are 14 million Jews worldwide; 20 million when
counting those that are partially Jewish. Even though Jews are continually and
increasingly coming to faith, the majority are still enemies of the Gospel.
Some are quite zealously enemies of the Gospel even while keeping a seemingly
tolerant face on for Christians. Few keep a tolerant face on for Messianic Jews
and that is a meaningful reality to understand. <br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Many Christian Zionists have a hard
time comprehending that because so many unbelieving Jews welcome Christian
alliances with Israel. Christians often don't quite 'get it' that their Jewish
friends are actually vehemently opposed to ANY Jew professing faith in Yeshua. Some
even major Christian Zionist ministries have been convinced that their good
Jewish friends have good reasons for despising Messianic Jews and those reasons
are based on something other than just their faith in Yeshua. <br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is a common pitfall to some Christian
Zionists who have not quite worked out the balance we must strike as Christians
toward Jews. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Some of them have even set
themselves apart from and even in opposition to the Messianic Jews of Israel. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As Christians we have to wrestle with all the
spiritual realities here and find ourselves in the will of God. It is NOT God’s
heart for Christians to place their own good standing with unbelieving Israel
ABOVE our BOOD relationship with Israeli Messianic Jews who are our spiritual
family. It is also not God’s heart that Christians devote themselves to a
friendship with Israel that compromises those who are preaching the Gospel in
Israel. These are the Jews scripture is referring to bringing the Gospel to
Israelis, "How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of
peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!” Friendship can only go so far,
the Gospel has to be shared.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: blue;">Earlier I said I would give an example</span></b> of how
unbelieving Jews might put us to the test in walking out the tension between
understanding that they are “enemies of the Gospel” who might try to cause us
harm, and the reality that God wants them reconciled to Him. Here is that
example: <br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This week I saw a report that PayPal
has hired the "hyper-partisan" the ADL (Anti-Defamation League)
"to lay out criteria that will allow that payment-services giant to
essentially shut down any group it labels 'extremist'.” <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #0033cc;">That means that <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">every
Messianic ministry and every Christian organization advocating for the Israeli
Messianic believers </i>are in almost certain jeopardy if relying on PayPal for
electronic donations.</span></b> <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There
is pushback from American politically conservative Jews but most American Jews
are not conservative, and even so, targeting Messianic-oriented ministries is
not going to raise many Jewish voices in protest. <br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is but one example, and we
really have to <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“Guard our heart with all
diligence”</i> so we are not tempted to harbor animosity against the
(unbeliever) Jewish role in some things that are happening politically. Let’s
face it: there is an increasing spirit of persecution against people of faith.
It is not hostility based on race or other excuses; it is based on the
spiritual state of unbelievers versus believers.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

</span>The days we are entering into are bound to create a tension in issues
that arise like the ones described in this article. God wants the unbeliever to
come to faith. We want what God wants for them. Standing as a channel of Jewish
restoration to faith through salvation in Yeshua is our way forward and the
priority for us is in funding the Gospel-bearing Israeli Messianic Jews. When
Israel comes to faith, the whole world will see there is something to this
Yeshua. It will mean “life from the dead” worldwide.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

Right off the bat we have urgent prayers for many of the greatly effective
ministry leaders in northern Israel and youth from across Israel who despite
all precautions, over 60 were infected with the Covid virus at the
Katzir/Harvest Youth Camp last week. So far as of the last hour (noon/Thurs/5<sup>th</sup>)
we have confirmed covid in Eitan Shishkoff, Leon Mazin (who is hospitalized)
and his family, Joel Jelski, Cody, Liat and Hallel Archer, Rami, youth leader
at Acco Harvest of Asher along with three of their youth, </span><span style="color: black; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">the adult married daughter of Avi & Chaim
Mizrachi OrEl. All of the above have families so please cover the families from
spread of Covid. All participants were tested prior to the event, however one
teen attended another event after the test and prior to camp start. I like the
prayer request Liat made: “Pray for healing, wisdom and grace for everyone
involved. Pray also that what God did this week in the lives of the youth would
not be overshadowed by this situation.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Pray Isaiah 54:16-17 over them all! <b>Remember this camp things were
done in the Spirit for the teens – it is not just covid that happened.<br />

Equipping for the Harvest. Not only have the Katzir camps for the past couple

Shishkoff because in 1997 his congregation was firebombed by anti-Messianic

Eitan’s ministry work and turned it into a blessing</b> because as news of the
event spread, there was an outpouring of donations that allowed the
congregation to obtain an even better facility. <b>As I remember this, I urge

saw a bright white light. At first, I thought it was someone with a camera. I
looked, and everything was dark. I then understood God was shining his light

the few years before this camp, I was not walking with the Lord. On one of the
nights, I felt led to kneel. As I knelt, I began to weep, not understanding

with my small group leader, I understood that my sin and rebellion had built a
barrier between me and God. I repented, gave my life back to the Lord, and
realized that all of my running after the world and my desires were not better
than the plan God had for my life.</span></span></p>

At the time I started my weekly Israelprayer letter (20 year ago mid-August), I
was utterly dismayed by what I saw as the majority of Christian ministries and
WAY too many Messianic Jewish ministries too, creating a logjam that stopped
funding the Israeli Messianic ministries. Instead of even being able to see the
need or the significance of the body of Messiah in Israel, they were all
diverting the natural spiritual flow into the secular and rabbinic causes of
Israel.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Why?<br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" />

river for their own sakes: they build dams to create their own homes in the
midst of the dam. There are some benefits that can happen because of beaver
dams, but there are also catastrophic results too. The log-jamming of financial
assistance and GENEROSITY being diverted from the Israeli Messianic ministries
is holding back spiritual benefits for Israel and for the whole world!</span></p>

know that GOD is going to have to override this deception Himself, and break up
that beaver dam. He will have to break up all the multitude of deceptions that
Christians and Messianic Jews have to excuse themselves from helping the Gospel
carriers of Israel to reach the Israeli people.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span><span style="color: #c00000;">There are little breaks of light on the
horizon, but the financial stress in Israel is INTENSE on the Israeli
ministries right now!</span> This DAM has to be broken through on every
deceptive level that is holding the logjam together!</span></b> </p>

</span>ABBA, break open the dams of Christian generosity that spiritual beavers
- both the well-meaning kind and the antichrist kind - have built that logjam
the flow of funding from Christians in the nations to the Gospel-carrying

</span>LORD, It is a disgrace, a disgrace, a disgrace to Christianity to ignore
the believing community of Israel like they are insignificant to YOUR purposes
in bringing "all Israel" to salvation in Messiah Yeshua. It is a
disgrace for Messianic congregations in the Diaspora to try to gain favor in
Israel with their donations while the Gospel-carrying Messianic ministries are
so financially distressed. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">Tiferet Yeshua brings out the Arab and Jewish believers unity that is
actively sought and nurtured in the spiritual leadership in Israel and it is
because they realize this is a true miracle of reconciliation that is possible
only in Yeshua. No one expects the divide between Jews and Arabs to be healed
in Israel so this is a powerful testimony to all the Israeli citizens – no matter
what religious or ethnic background. Like those who gathered to pray together
in Acco last week, the Tel Aviv pastors and ministry leaders also gathered
together in unity.

the needed provision to buy a supplementary room big enough to be used as a
place of fellowship with newcomers but not only. It will also serve for midweek
meetings like discipleship, seminars and other activities. And they are also
thanking God for new people the Lord has been leading to them. “Some of them
come from difficult background and are much in need of help but especially of
God’s love, fellowship and care through us. Please pray that we would be able
to be present in their lives in case of need but also that we might help them
to look to Yeshua and trust Him in all things.”<br />

Evan Thomas writes some good news from the Beit Asaph congregation which
because of the intensity of the financial stress the Israeli ministries have
been experiencing, wrote last time about how they were having to leave their
facility but planned to set up smaller home group meetings to care for the
flock.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There were many who were unhappy
with not being able to meet together as one, but in the meantime the body of
Messiah has stepped up to help by way of the Israel <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>College of the Bible opening their facility to
them and Evan writes, “</span><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">this week we will be sitting with their
leadership to negotiate the terms for a regular arrangement. Our hope is to
conduct a celebration service at the College once a month.” He also writes “Meanwhile
our <span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">youth enjoy their weekly meetings</span>
at the <span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">local Ethiopian congregational
facility</span> and our <span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Children’s

have difficulties shopping and cooking, in which they are incredibly grateful
for the support given. We did a Holocaust Survivors event that took place on
July 13th. For us it is big blessing to serve them with hospitality, sharing
Yeshua's love, and having some instruments played by our students from

congregations there; but focuses solely on the dwindling Arab Orthodox
Christian presence. <br />

people is empty—meaning Jerusalem without a New Testament human witness is
meaningless. But he sees no great fulfillment in the return of Jesus-following

<!--[if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--><span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%;">This
morning I saw a <i>very </i>young and
delighted father with the tiniest 1 week old baby girl; God drawing my eyes to
the babies fathering babies. Later in
the afternoon while preparing <i>Arrows</i>
for this week I saw a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vr2vL273KCc"><span style="color: red;">video</span></a>
by Joel Jelski who is the director of the Katzir Youth Camps in Israel. Katzir
means Harvest.</span></span><div><span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%;"><span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%;"><span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%;"><span face=""Calibri","sans-serif"" style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">What
a moving testimony as Joel tells of a dream he had when he was only about 20,
of finding a baby abandoned in a trash bin, crying its heart out—crying out for
a father. The dream was surely spiritual and would lead Joel into the
ministries he has labored in - the Israeli pro-life ministry and most recently
becoming Katzir's director. The camps, which have been led for around 2 decades
by Eitan Shishkoff, an Israeli minister widely known for his fatherly heart.<br /><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">One thing about the ministries in Israel that Joel chose to labor
in is that they go much deeper than their counterparts in the USA. For
instance, the pregnant women in Israel's Messianic Pro-Life movement are really
taken under deeper spiritual care and not just the financial aid they receive
over the first year of the baby's life. It is not just about talking them into
no abortion, which is good, but that is just where the ministry of Yeshua
begins. They get emotional and financial help they will need to have a baby,
not just to decide not to abort. It’s a
huge difference. <br />
<br />
I see how this dream that God gave Joel mapped out his life's work from a very
young age. <b>Many children are crying out
for spiritual fathering.</b> The Katzir Youth Camp begins Friday July 25-29.
It's not just keeping kids in activities over the summer. It is a time where
spiritual ministers are pouring their <i>fatherly</i>
love into young people, expressing Abba’s love and building them up for their
own journey in the faith. <b>Please be praying for the Katzir camp and
for all the summer camps going on in Israel.</b><o:p></o:p></p>

Babel, surely is a reminder that man’s best anti-God plans cannot prevail over
God’s own plans to redeem mankind</b>. <br />
<br />
Just seeing Chuck Cohen’s statement below reminds me how even the exile of the
Jews from Israel —a judgment that
opened the Door of salvation to the nations —will become God’s unifying tool as He continues to bring Jews in
all the nations back to Israel.<br />
“He used what was at first a judgment – various languages to prevent anti-God
unity – into His tool to make of the many one Body." (Genesis 11 to Acts
2) <br />
It is quite an astounding thought when we see
all the disunity among us, but knowing that God has seen the end from the
beginning, like the tower of Babel, our disunity does not stand a chance against
the mighty God and His plan to make of us in reality “one new man.”<br /><br /><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b><i>An
excerpt from Chuck’s Watchmen for Israel monthly personal ministry letter: </i></b>Otto von Bismarck (1815-1898) said,
"Politics is the art of the possible…A statesman…must wait until he hears
the steps of God sounding through events; then leap up and grasp the hem of His
garment."<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
If we substitute a few key words, we get a great definition of intercession:
Intercession is the art of the possible. An intercessor waits until he hears
the steps of God sounding through events and then leaps up and grasps the hem
of His garment – and is then led in those prayers that are in line with God's
will (Amos 3:7).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><b> Babel confusion to
Shavuot unity</b> | Men built the
tower of Babel to avoid being spread out, because they wanted to live in unity,
and through unity, to reach God's throne. God forbade this from His fallen
creatures; He confounded their language, and scattered them across the earth.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
On the first Shavuot [Pentecost] after Yeshua's resurrection, the Holy
Spirit fell on 120 Messianic Jews who were worshipping Messiah in God's house
in Jerusalem. God used their babel of languages – tongues – to tell of His
wonderful works to the Jews from many different nations, adding another 3,000
Jews to the newly created Body of Messiah. <o:p></o:p></p>

<b>In Messiah, even with our various
opinions, we are one.</b> Outside of Messiah there is no relationship with God,
no covenants, no promises, no hope (Eph. 2:12), nothing but final destruction.
We have the answer the world's existential question – which is Messiah and Him
crucified – yet the world has turned so far from its Creator that it no longer
knows how to ask the right question.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b>Signs of the times</b> |
Intercessors for Israel received a question from a brother who was
"intrigued" by Chuck's statement in a Friday Prayer Alert that while
we may not be sure of what God is doing at this exact time in history, we do
see Him setting the stage for the return of His Son. He asked what we saw as
"clear signs". Chuck thanked him for mentioning "clear
signs" because believers at times look for signs that occur in Scripture
only once, or signs that are not clearly described, and then people have to
guess whether this or that event is this or that "sign". <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b>Yet here are some clear signs in
the world today:</b><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
The good news of Messiah Yeshua has gone from Jerusalem to the ends of
the earth and today is returning from the ends of the earth to Zion (Matt.
24:14; Acts 1:7-8). <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Since 1885, the scattered Jews are being regathered from the ends of the
earth in significant numbers (Isa. 43:5-7; Jer. 31:10). <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
As Ezekiel 37:10 describes, out of the graves of the Holocaust, God is
making out of Israel an exceedingly great army – the IDF (Isa. 41:14-16: Mic.
4:11-13).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
As seen in the recent Gaza war, Jerusalem is still the main issue for
Islam and the West, with no one except Jewish and Christian Zionists wanting
Israel to possess it (Zech. 12:2-3; 14:1-4).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Gentile Christians are helping in Israel's restoration (Isa. 40:1-2;
49:22; 60:1-11; Jer. 31:6-7).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Israeli Jews are being saved and the Israeli Body is growing. That is
important as Yeshua said that He would not return until He hears from
Jerusalem, His chosen city, the proclamation, "Blessed is He who comes in
the name of YHWH!" (Matt. 23:39). <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Exactly when He will come is anyone's guess, but the greatest sign is
that all these signs are happening! Come, Lord Yeshua! (Rev. 22:17-21)<br />

From Sderot Michael and Dina Beener of the City of Life congregation continue
helping the needy and traumatized people in the Israeli city closest to Gaza terror
rockets. This week they are featuring the walkers they were able to distribute
to the elderly, many of them Holocaust survivors, who have difficulties walking
due to old age or medical problems: <a href="https://www.clm-israel.org/2021/helping-the-elderly-to-walk-again/">Helping
The Elderly To Walk Again</a>. They have a great many humanitarian aid projects
for the needy in Sderot, and also a Messianic congregation that is speaking
life over the people Hamas calls the city of the dead. Their work would not be

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">A super report from Ron Cantor on what all is going on at ShelanuTV –
they are bearing fruit by sending the Gospel to Israelis in the Hebrew
language. Watch
this <a href="https://www.roncantor.com/shelanu">VIDEO</a>. Ron notes they are
producing 8 different programs for a total
of 115 episodes in the last 8 months. Each month they are reaching
approximately 250,000 people in Israel online – and reached a quarter of a
million people in June alone! Currently ShelanuTV is receiving 30 requests a
month for books about the faith, <b><i>including
the New Testament which is not available in stores in Israel</i></b>. What an excellent way to seed into the Gospel
of the kingdom in the land of Israel. Ron writes, “We know that the people of
Israel have suffered so much at the hands of 'so-called' Christians over the
years, turning them off to the idea of Yeshua being the Messiah, but as this
God-injected content is being released, we are weakening the walls of disbelief
and bias, as cracks are forming, and the light of the truth is seeping through
and reaching the hearts of the people. We are going to see a change in Israel as
people turn towards the light of the life of Yeshua and are saved!” There is
way more in this good report than I can share in Arrows but go learn more at <a href="https://www.roncantor.com/shelanu">ShelanuTV</a></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
From Tikkun Global, Asher Intrater writes that they’re happy to be able to meet
again after a whole year in their Jerusalem congregation, Ahavat Yeshua. Asher
writes about how they have encountered young and old people around the world disillusioned
with their congregations of all forms. He writes, “The Corona year has caused
us to rethink how we meet. <b>There is a movement toward smaller groups living
in proximity and toward wider groups meeting internationally on line.</b>
Different settings have different advantages and disadvantages. <b>As followers
of Yeshua, we are called to join ourselves in fellowship (koinonia) as part of
a congregation (kehila).</b> God loves His family. Don't just complain about
others. God is our Father; we are His children. <b>Sometimes we act
dysfunctionally, but we are still family.</b> Yeshua is building His church
(ekklesia) – Matthew 16:18. <b>We are part of this great endeavor. If nothing
else, find a few other families, and start meeting together. Wherever two or
three are assembled (synago) in His name, Yeshua will be present </b>– Matthew
18:20.” Excellent thoughts in my
view. He also writes, “Yeshua sees us as
His "beautiful bride." We are in the process of getting ready. We are
not ready yet. But we will be – Revelation 19:7. I don't think He likes people
speaking evil all the time about His bride. “ <br />

From Tiferet Yeshua congregation in Tel Aviv: <a href="https://www.tiferetyeshua.org/2021/07/16/a-surprising-phone-call/">A Surprising
Phone Call</a> | A couple weeks ago,
Victoria, our office manager, received an interesting call. She actually wasn't
supposed to be in the office when the call came in asking, “Is this a Christian
church?” They learned more: “It turns out that M. was working construction in
the US when he fell from a building, suffering traumatic brain injury. He was
in a coma, declared brain damaged when he woke up, and then put in a nursing
home. There in the nursing home, M. had a revelation of Yeshua as the Messiah
and says, ‘Yeshua healed me!’ He improved so much that he was able to call his
family and ask them to come get him out of the nursing home.” But that is not
where the extraordinary events end! <i>Read

Av</a>, a solemn day of mourning and
fasting for the Jewish world. <br />
<br />
It has been a time of Bar and Bat Mitzvah’s in the Kiryat Yam Tents of Mercy
congregation led by Avi and Hannah Tekel —including
for their own eldest son. “As a
congregation, we are excited to prepare to celebrate two more bar mitzvas.
These occasions are so meaningful to us as they encompass in them all the
vision and hope we have in God. They are the legacy of our children expressed
in the beautiful harmony of our ancient ancestral Jewish faith linked with the
faith in Messiah Yeshua and His New Covenant.” But in other news, their Network
Camp for children from at least 6-7 congregations has had to be cancelled
because of Covid travel restrictions. “The children are heartbroken, as are we.
To miss this amazing experience two summers in a row is a big blow…. We cannot
make up for the loss of not having the camp, but we are planning a series of
fun days to provide some of the same elements - physical recreation and
spiritual inspiration - for our children before the school year begins. We are
also in the process of revamping aspects of our weekly children’s ministry to
accommodate the changing times and seasons.” Otherwise, they are already
looking forward in preparation for the Fall outreaches – back to school
(supplies for needy families and immigrants) and the Fall Feasts. “This
September we will reach 900 families with a generous bag of holiday foods.” </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">

Avi and Chaya Mizrach have the Adonai Roi congregation in Tel Aviv and the
Dugit Messianic Outreach Center. They
write a sobering thought for many of us, “Israel is a small country by most
measurements. But for some, it’s hopelessly large. Every day at our
Distribution Center in Tel Aviv we serve many needy families too poverty
stricken to afford food and basic household items. Jerusalem is right in our “backyard”—pending
traffic, it is a little over an hour’s drive from us. Despite living in Israel,
many of these precious people may never have the financial means to travel to
Jerusalem to see and experience the most holy and meaningful city in the world.
… for the poorest of the poor in Tel Aviv, Jerusalem might as well be on the
other side of the world. This is heartbreaking but is also a beautiful
opportunity to share the love of God with them. So, we invite these singles and
families to join us on a day trip to Jerusalem. We pick them up in a bus. Their
guide is a Jewish believer in Yeshua. They get to see the city and visit the
holy sites while hearing the stories of what happened there from both Old and
New Testament scriptures. And at the end of the tour we share the gospel with
them, and they respond! Then we take them to a nice meal in Jerusalem, and we
bring them home.” Do you want to be a part of this <a href="https://dugit.org/beautiful-opportunity/">beautiful opportunity</a>? <span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">Leon Mazin and the Return to Zion congregation in
Haifa are intensely interested in instilling music in the children of the congregation.
You may or may not know that most Jews are quite enthusiastic about classical
music. Leon writes “about two students who are learning at our Music and Art
School called <a href="https://tikkun.tv/rainbow-of-sounds-newsletter/">Keshet
Tzlilim – Rainbow of Sounds</a>.” It is a wonderful story of two young
Israelis whose grandmother recognized their musical talent and made her
business to get them in the congregation’s music program. Leon writes “Such aspiration towards creativity and art at an
advanced age is admirable and an example for all kids at our Music and Art
School. Since these talented children do not have parents who are taking care
of their development and future, let us take on this challenge together! Your
prayers and a gift of $150 monthly will enable one child to continue to advance
with their talents towards a bright future in Israel.”<br />
<br />
Howard Bass in the Negev town of Beer Sheva and Yeshua’s Inheritance
congregation writes about the 9<sup>th</sup> of Av: “For me, and I think for
other Messianic believers, it is not a day of mourning for the past temples
that God Himself saw to it that they were destroyed because of the sins of His
people. He even asks them in Zechariah
if they were actually mourning on His behalf, or simply sorry that their
worship center was no more. The faith of
Judaism is that there must be another temple, but there is much disagreement
about when, and even exactly where, that should be. The present State of Israel is the first time
that a worship center for sacrifices was not constructed in the history of the
people in their own land. The worship
that they will [fairly] soon restore may or may not be in a formal structure,
but, whether so or not, it is not for born-again believers in the Lord Jesus
Christ/Yeshua the Messiah, to participate in -- unless it is to evangelize the
unbelievers there. “ He asks prayer for
the salvation of the still partially blinded Jewish people, and for Christians
to guard against all deception with respect to our worship of God.”<br />
In other congregational news he asks
prayers for those children taking part in camps and high school graduates
preparing for the mandatory IDF service. “Our son, Tal, and his wife, Eden,
will be among the instructors at this very important preparation 'boot camp'
for these young people. All of these
young persons have grown up in households of faith, and in congregations in
Israel. They are strongly tested during
this very stressful period of their life whether they are in the faith, and to
make critical decisions that reflect the reality. Sadly, a significant proportion fall away
during these 2-3 years of active military duty.” Pray for this to be the years
that falling away proportion will drop to zero, and instead see significant
outreach of these young believers among their IDF peers. PLUS another
grandchild is on the way, as Rotem is expecting a fifth child before the end of
the month. Howard’s closing thought: “God is faithful to His promises regarding
Israel, even as many Jews and Christians lose their ways. He is testing our commitment to Him for His
holy name's sake.”<br />
<br />
We have great photos and a report from Cody and Liat Archer of Fields of Wheat
as their fourth child, Eden was recently dedicated. They also asked prayers for
the Katzir Camp writing, “When God began speaking to us about leaving the
Jerusalem area and moving to the Golan Heights to serve under Eitan Shishkoff
in Fields of Wheat, we sensed that we were to continue investing into the next
generation as a primary focus. Over twenty years ago Eitan founded a national
youth camp called 'Katzir,' which means harvest. This camp happens three times
a year and serves about 90-120 youth from all over Israel. As a teenager Liat was personally touched by
God in one of these camps and we both have served as leaders in a past camp.”
They also shared the video of Joel Jelski featured at the beginning of this
Arrows issue, writing, “Joel is a beloved teammate we work closely with every
week in Fields of Wheat.” The camp starts Friday July 25-29 and they write, “We
really could use your prayer support during the camp. Pray that each of these
young men and women – the future of Israel – will encounter the Living God in a
life-changing way. And for us as we are serving them, that we would be filled
with strength, wisdom, grace, over-flowing love, and sensitivity to the Spirit.
Big hugs and always appreciating you.”<span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span></p>

Israel?</a><br /></span></span></b><span style="font-family: arial; text-align: left;"><br />by Chava Stein</span><span style="font-family: arial; text-align: left;"> <br /></span><i style="font-family: arial; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Read in full on </span></i><a href="http://news.kehila.org/" style="font-family: arial; text-align: left;"><i><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Kehila News Israel</span></i></a></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><b style="font-family: arial;">The question sounds absurd and unthinkable. After all, the whole
reason for the existence of Israel was to be a sure and safe refuge, a place
where Jews could live without fear of eventually being banished or exiled from
their home.</b><span style="font-family: arial;"> It was intended
to offer a secure alternative for both religious and non-religious Jews – a
welcoming embrace and a better way of life for the world’s millions who belong
to the Hebrew race. Conversely, greater numbers of Jews choosing to make Israel
their home, would, likewise, yield the fruits of strength, ingenuity and
self-determination.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: arial;">
As the end of WW II came to a close, those who managed to survive the
ravages of the Nazi Holocaust, which had enveloped most of Europe, flocked to
the fledgling State which, above all else, offered them hope and safety despite
the many enemies surrounding their very small strip of land. . . .<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: arial;">
Since that time, millions more Jews have come to the decision that
Israel is their destiny, and, up until the last few years, making that move was
a fairly uncomplicated step. It was as easy as hopping on a plane, walking into
the Interior Ministry office with documented evidence that you were either born
Jewish or at least have one Jewish grandparent. Those were the simple
requirements in order to be accepted as a citizen of the Jewish homeland.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: arial;">
<b>So what changed, and why does the
welcome mat seem to be turned upside down? </b>If you are a Messianic Jew, you
might be aware that over the past 15 years or so, there has been a coordinated
effort by orthodox groups who have, by and large, been running the offices of
immigration. Their full-scale mission has tried to weed out, in any way they
could, Jewish individuals who believe that Yeshua (Jesus) is the promised
Messiah as spoken of in the Law and the Prophets. It’s not that hard, these
days, to discover who is a believer in today’s world of Google, Facebook and
other social media. . . . immigration is only something attainable by a long,
protracted and costly court battle.
Consequently, such a daunting undertaking has stopped many in their
tracks who just gave up ….it has turned out to be a clever and effective plan
of keeping out Jewish believers for the time being.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: arial;"> But
wait, there’s more….All of a sudden, stories of ordinary, traditional Jewish
individuals have begun to emerge. While
expressing a desire to immigrate due to a variety of hardships and frightening
circumstances, such as Covid, anti-Semitism, Marxist leanings of their new
progressive government, the Jewish homeland has suddenly become a very
attractive option. For them, what should have been a simple visit to their
local Jewish Agency or a quick phone call to Nefesh b’Nefesh, an organization
which was designed to facilitate Aliyah, turned into one long series of
headaches and never-ending demands which started to feel like one roadblock
after another. In Steve Rodan’s <i>Times of Israel</i> blog article of May 28,
2021 entitled, <b>“Israel’s White Paper? US
Jews Find Locked Doors,”</b> he states: <b>“The
Law of Return isn’t working. American Jews aren’t being allowed to move to
Israel. What is going on?!”<o:p></o:p></b></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: arial;">
….Rodan says that, <b>“Over the last
year, Israel has essentially suspended the Law of Return and that Aliyah, particularly
from the U.S,. has never been lower while American Jewish applications have
never been higher.”<o:p></o:p></b></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: arial;">
Rodan quotes Nefesh b’Nefesh’s vice-president, Mark Rosenberg who says,
“Past national or international events sparked inquiries and applications — but
never like this.” Rodan continues by saying, <b>“Still, Israel is determined to keep its doors locked to American Jews.</b>
In June 2020, the Jewish Agency predicted that 50,000 Jews overall would
resettle in Israel. Instead, only 20,000 were reported to have been allowed in
the country. Jews who applied under the Law of Return were told to wait and
wait for a decision by the Israeli government. Last spring, the drop in Aliyah
reached 70 percent, compared to the same period in the previous year.”<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: arial;">
<b>This was not an isolated
incident. Yet another very perplexing incident occurred just a few days ago as
Israel’s Sephardic Chief Rabbi Yitzhak Yosef told Jews NOT to make Aliyah</b>,
(Israel Today, July 9,2021) In the article, he states that “there’s a problem.”
<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: arial;">
<b>After being asked at a recent
visit to Tunisia whether or not Jews should move to Israel, he told them, “It
depends on where they live.” He went on to say, “If they were going to live in
an ultra-Orthodox neighborhood, then they should immigrate to Israel, but if
they were going to live in a place like Herzliya or another one of the secular
locations, they should stay where they are.</b> Yosef went on to argue that sin
is worse than death, and that a religious Jew’s spiritual well-being would be
harmed by living in a secular environment.” In the end, he recommended that
“Jews already living in ultra-Orthodox communities in the diaspora should
probably remain there.”<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: arial;">
To quote Steve Rodan, “What is going on?” <b>According
to the data of the Jewish Agency, an estimated 250,000 Jews would be eager to
immigrate to Israel if such a move would be allowed.</b> Rodan says that once
applications were forwarded to Israeli consulates by Nefesh b’Nefesh, “the
process virtually stopped.”<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: arial;">
<b>Following Rodan’s description of
a harsh and overbearing interrogation, he seems to believe that only a select
few are getting in on the basis of specific criteria formulated by the Israeli
government itself.</b> Rodan states, <b>“Washington has long indicated that it does
not want its Jews to resettle in Israel. The reason is capital flight: once an
American Jew settles in Israel, regardless of whether he is a tourist,
permanent resident or citizen, he can withdraw his money from his US bank
account, sell his home, and essentially transfer his assets.”<o:p></o:p></b></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: arial;">
In fact, Rodan claims that since 2010, Jews flying to Israel have often
been searched to see if they are bringing large amounts of cash with them. So
is it really just a matter of money? <b>There
has also been speculation that Israel’s infrastructure is not in a position to
absorb vast numbers of new immigrants despite many of them coming with
significant finances, thereby not being a burden on the State.<o:p></o:p></b></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: arial;">
While many Jews feel that they are, once again, living in perilous
times, <b>it begs the question, “Will
Israel return to her original stated vision and aspiration of providing a safe
refuge for all Jews regardless of their level of religious observance?”</b>
Will Jews be permitted to return to their ancestral homeland for whatever
reason they see fit? Will their intended homeland view them as valuable assets
who will strengthen and bolster the Zionist dream? And, if not, what will
become of Theodor Herzl’s inspiring words, “If you will it, it is no dream”?<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: arial;">
Must we repeat the words of the revered prophet, Moses, “Let My People
Go” to our own Israeli government so that the dream can become the reality
which is spoken of throughout the Jewish prophecies? Ezekiel 36: 24 <i>For I will take you from among the heathen, and gather you out of all countries,
and will bring you into your own land.”<o:p></o:p></i></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><i><span style="font-family: arial;"> </span></i></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><i>This article, by one of my most

writes, “I am 62 years old…an age when
we start analyzing our lives and asking ourselves questions…. (like) <b>“Why am
I doing this kind of ministry and not something else? Why am I working with
such hopeless people for so many years?”</b> Somebody even asked me one day: <b>“Why
are you preaching to drug addicts and not, for example, to students?” </b> Well, first of all, I was led to this ministry
by God, and His guidance was very clear. But recently I have also remembered
that when I became a believer, I very much enjoyed reading testimonies of drug
addicts and all sorts of criminals whose lives were changed by God. <b>What I
especially liked about these stories was that in almost every one there was a ‘Good
Samaritan’ involved – a person who was able to melt the hearts of these cruel
and rebellious people.”</b> I have often written that it takes a special heart
to make your ministry focus on addicts and street people, this is a perfect
expression of what kind of heart does this. If you would like to learn more
about this truly good Samaritan ministry work in Israel, please go to their <a href="https://www.avivministry.com/en/">website</a> and learn more about this

intercessor and has the House of Prayer and Exploits. Rania is well known and
beloved among the Israeli Messianic Jewish community and they often do ministry
together. Chaya Mizrachi and Orna Grinman are two of the MJ women ministers who
recently came together with Rania speaking in the June Arab Deborah’s training
event to Christian Arab pastor’s wives and minsters. There is another Deborah’s event coming up on
Sep 10-11. Rania also was invited to speak in the global prayer conference on
the battle for Jerusalem hosted by <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5n85zpDzbM">Global Prayer Call with Harald Eckert,
Clive Urquhart & Julia Warkentin</a>. Learn more about Rania’s ministry at her <a href="https://www.hope-nazareth.org/give/">hope-nazareth</a> website. If you
would like to support Rania’s ministry they are working of renovations in the Prayer House and in the Guest House bathrooms.
Also they are searching for a new building and still need
another $225,000 for the first down payment for this project. Giving info on

Najeeb & Elisabeth Atteih at the Haifa Immanuel Church & Outreaches, and
Refugee Ministries, have been taking part in Zoom meetings with their Israeli
Messianic Jewish brethren also</span><span style="font-family: arial;"> </span><span style="font-family: arial;">— like the Zoom meeting that the HaMaayan congregation
led by Tony and Orna Sperandeo invited them to participate in. The Atteih’s
also had the Syrian and Iraqi believers join into the time of fellowship and
preaching as Najeeb preached in Hebrew and Elizabeth translated into Arabic. [I
don’t know about you but this really thrilled my heart to read about!]. He
shared a testimony about his son, Tino and his wife getting caught in some of
the violence that was seen on the streets at the outbreak of the recent Gaza
conflict, and how they were spared. Tino and his wife have since welcomed their
first child into the world naming her Emily, and Tino has left IDF service to </span><span style="font-family: arial;">work in Internal Security for the Ministry of
Interior, which allows him to work close to home. </span><span style="font-family: arial;"> </span><span style="font-family: arial;">They were also among the Jews and Arab
ministries who met in Acco to pray over the nation “in the places where blood
was shed in the recent violent crimes across our country in May. … and raised
prayers for each soul that was lost. They sprinkled salt in that place to
represent and pray for healing of wounds and poured oil, praying for the coming
of the Holy Spirit in the region. Each brother present, whether Jew or Arab,
repented and sought forgiveness from the Lord on behalf of his people and the
violence, problems, and sins they committed. Even though this group of
believers is innocent, they prayed and interceded for their people, just as
Nehemiah prayed and interceded for the Israelites. Our country needs healing
and restoration of souls. Our prayer is that this group can visit the largest
number of these places.” </span><span style="font-family: arial;"> </span><span style="font-family: arial;">The Atteih’s
continue their humanitarian work – especially to those of faith – in the
refugee situations from Syria and also in Armenia. Your giving can help them do

working with down in the Negev – it had to be a last minute decision because of
all the Covid restrictions (a moving target in Israel). They have 44 children
and youth signed up but “We are without
the usual months of preparations, fund raising, and of course the wonderful
support of the USA Young Life team. “ That is one more reason that Marianna is
sending out this call to join them for a <b><span style="color: red;">Prayer Blitz for Summer Camp. It will be on Zoom </span></b>on July 22nd, from 14:30 Israel time.

Guy Cohen talked about how the prophet Amos said of himself, ‘says I am a
herdsman, a man in the fields working with cattle and the land whom God told to
go prophesy to His people Israel.’ Guy says this is the type of humility that
is needed in prophets whose prophecies should “be for the purpose of serving
those to whom the message is given.” Great message. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Another great message from </span><a href="http://www.restorationfromzion/" style="font-family: arial;">Restoration from Zion</a><span style="font-family: arial;">’s Benjamin
Juster who advises taking </span><span style="font-family: arial;"> </span><span style="font-family: arial;">time this
summer to get with extended family and also with our extended spiritual
families. </span><span style="font-family: arial;"> </span><span style="font-family: arial;">The Juster have done this over
the summer and he says it will leave your heart full to be with our natural
extended families and with our spiritual extended families it will “help to
restore your joy level and lead to the kind of Re-Creation that prepares you
for the next season of planting and harvest in the Kingdom.” Dan Juster writes
that his and Patty’s 3-month stint in the US is just about up and has been
spent “primarily to strengthen the congregations in the Tikkun America Network
and to make connection to church partners for the Israel focus of ministry that
Ben and Lorena Juster share with us in Restoration from Zion of Tikkun Global.”
Dan returns to the US in Nov for 3 weeks but says their lives are focused
primarily on ministry in Israel. He writes about the impact of a book on
discipling which has been impacting him by Michael Hendricks and Jim Wilder, </span><i style="font-family: arial;">The Other Half of the Church</i><span style="font-family: arial;">.</span><span style="font-family: arial;"> </span><span style="font-family: arial;">(This is saying something because Dan wrote
the definitive book on discipling of the Messianic body, </span><i style="font-family: arial;">Growing to Maturity</i><span style="font-family: arial;">.) If you follow </span><a href="https://www.facebook.com/DanielCJuster/?ref=bookmarks" style="font-family: arial;">Dan’s official
page on Facebook</a><span style="font-family: arial;">, you will get the benefit of his always seeking to learn
more and teachable mind that makes him one of – if not the best – teachers or theologians
in the Messianic movement. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Lastly, even though you will find this

spiritual authority in local congregations/ churches and in the broader sense

This topic has become one of serious discussion and debate here in

leaders in the Body here with respect to where we stand at present. Please use this update as a help to better
pray with understanding for the situation, that the Head of the Church --
Jesus/Yeshua -- will have His way, since He is our ultimate authority, and the
Word and the Spirit of God exalt Him. It is our duty to strive to maintain the
unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace, even as we grapple with controversy

silent day or night and not to give God any rest until He fulfils His purposes
for Jerusalem. <b>I have long believed that
those watchmen on the walls are Gentile believers from around the world in the
end-times.</b> <b><span style="color: red;">I
want to enlist your intercession for the body of believers in Israel.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
We will share more with you in the coming weeks, but many of you know
that we have been under intense scrutiny and attack. Gossip has caused great
harm to our congregations and great pain to many believers around the country.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><b> </b>We regularly express to God that we
bless our accusers and forgive them. We have worked tirelessly to express our
views accurately. Some of these discussions have born great fruit. However, a
core of critics remain skeptical, completely convinced that we have bad
intentions.<b><o:p></o:p></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
I am not asking you to pray for me or for us. We are blessed! But I am
deeply concerned for the unity of the body of believers in Israel. We need to see
this wound healed, and quickly. <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b>Pray for</b> the young believers
in our congregations, that they would not be deceived nor allow gossip to
poison them.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><b> Pray that</b> people around the body would think
twice before they spread rumors and gossip, and that they would have a deeper
understanding of how evil speech can limit the effectiveness of the gospel in
our midst (see ancient Israel). This is why Paul fought so aggressively against
personality cliques and divisions.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b>Pray for</b> those who have
accused us, that the Lord would speak
graciously to them. We wish no evil upon them, but we do want to walk with them
again in unity, truth and the love of Messiah.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b>Pray for</b> Israeli
pastors—particularly those in Tikkun who have had to process the rumors and innuendos
with congregants—as we come to discuss this issue and make a final
determination in October. We are not asking you to pray that other leaders
“agree with us,” but that they will have keen discernment from the Holy Spirit.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"> And lastly, pray for God’s
purposes to not be hindered as we continually look for His great and glorious
appearing. Messianic leaders in Israel could not do what we do in the holy land
without the powerful and effective prayers of the watchmen on the walls--You!
Thank you, dear friends. Until all Israel is saved, Ron Cantor for Tikkun

Become a Better Bible Defender</a>: I
recently got an earful of anti-Bible and anti-Christian vilification from an
unbeliever. It made me realize that the
Bible and Christianity were being understood by the narrative of the secular
anti-Christian culture. That narrative claims the Bible is anti-women,
pro-slavery, and sends people to Hell lightly. This evaluation is unfair.
People should seek to understand any religion through the eyes of its strongest
proponents. Only then can we fairly disagree.
We have to show that we understand their point of view to their
satisfaction. <br />
<br />
From the Kfar Saba congregation HaMaayan led by Tony & Orna Sperandeo they
are noting that despite Covid and war, “Our first six months of 2021 have seen
a restoration of relationships, both to each other and to Yeshua Himself.” In the past 18 months they have seen “a
number of new believers and seekers in the faith. Each of them strong and excited about the
good news. Every day, there is discipleship in one form or another in homes,
city parks and at the congregation.” There is also a fire lit in the children
and the youth: “we are seeing the children bring their parents to our
congregation meetings, Bible studies and outings in the city park. Our
children's classes are growing in numbers and excitement in the faith.” Also “Our
young adults meet often for breakfast, discipleship and prayer together on the
roof. New believers and seekers come …. Twice a week, young and old meet to
intercede for our congregation and the nation. We are watching prayers of
restoration and revival take place before our eyes almost every day!” Exciting!
<br />
<b>In the congregational needs</b>: Since
the war of 2014, we have had the vision to purchase the basement of our
building for a bomb shelter. After years of dealing with bureaucracy, it looks
like the purchase can happen soon. In the meantime, as the congregation is
growing, God has expanded our vision and we are looking to purchase the other
parts of the building. Our downstairs neighbor is ready to sell his portion.
This will save us so much money each month as we still rent 2 big rooms from
him. We have started a <a href="https://kehilat-hamaayan.org.il/donate">building
fund</a> with our members and partners across the world. As one of our members
suggested, "All we need is 1000 donors to pledge $1000 USD, and the
building will be ours!” Would you consider joining us? </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"> Michael and Dina Beener continue their good

The Kerem-El congregation – offspring of the HaCarmel congregation – is also
loving being able to gather together after Covid and the war. “Since we have
not met together physically for so long, we are placing a lot of emphasis on
creating times of fellowship together.”
They are doing focus groups with the different ages of people and are
returning to Worship Nights where they also pray for the needs of the community
and nation. <b>Prayer Points</b> | Pray for the new believers we are discipling

everything looks hopeless, we have an opportunity to share real Hope. The
evangel message is more relevant than ever before.” Continuing, “Hearts have
been softened by so much shaking. The world looks like a sinking ship. People
want to know how to be saved. There is a desire for eternity in the hearts of
every person (Ecclesiastes 3:11). Our message is not one of temporary
innovations, but of eternal hope. In Yeshua, we have forgiveness, life and the
all-embracing love of our heavenly Father.”

He has also written an article
called <a href="https://www.reviveisrael.org/post/two-jerusalems">Two
Jerusalems</a> talking about the time that the New Jerusalem will come
down from Heaven: “....<b>Because of the
separation between Israel and the Church over the past 2,000 years, there has
not been the right harmony between the earthly and the heavenly Jerusalem</b>.
However, <u>our generation is blessed to see the beginning of the reconciling
of the two</u>. <b>God's will for earthly and heavenly Jerusalem will be
unified as Israel and the Church are reconciled. </b> Today as there are Messianic Jewish believer
in Yeshua (Jesus) living in Israel, there are angels ascending and descending
from heaven to earth and vice versa to bring about that harmony. <b>Yeshua
reigns in heavenly Jerusalem</b> by right of being the Son of God; <b>He will
reign in earthly Jerusalem when He returns by right of being the Son of David</b>.
Thank God Yeshua is both” (Ro 1:4).<br />
<br />
Sally Shiff, an intecessor and liaison at HaMaayan for English speakers, writes
about how faithful God is to hear our heart’s desire even when we see no way
both with timing and finances. God provided her with both so she return to the
US for her mother’s 94<sup>th</sup> birthday. Anyone living far away from a
parent of that age, in delicate lucidity, can appreciate how much this meant to
be able to travel through a couple of unexpected and unprompted financial
donations. She also noted it was healing for other relationships and believes
we are in a season of God restoring relationships. May it be so in all of our
families! Sally also writes about HaMaayan, “<b>There is a fresh wind of the
Holy Spirit in my congregation</b>. …Part of my reluctance to travel to my
family was the happenings around my congregation and the people I love. With
prayer meetings either face to face or virtually every day, a greater
dependence on God and His response is taking place. People are getting saved,
healed and strong in Him. The
undercurrent of grace is evident, yet there is a spiritual fight that is
clearly seen. I pray that our eyes would see how God wars on our behalf. Honestly,
my sense is God is teaching us that our weapons are only through prayer and
dependence on Him.” This is my sense in my personal realm too. </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">Chuck Cohen’s Intercessors for Israel in Jerusalem <a href="https://www.ifi.org.il/en/prayer/2021-07-02"><i>Friday Prayer Points 7-2-2021</i></a> features one important security prayer as we
continue to see 2-state peace talks pressed in our national news sources: Chuck
writes: “The beating death of a critic
of Palestinian Authority President Abbas by PA security forces who were to
arrest him has stirred up the Palestinian street in huge protests against Abbas
and his cronies. This could lead to a Hamas takeover which, while worse
initially for Israel security-wise – would write in bright neon lights,

requests to immigrate to Israel are up and backlogged by 85% from the USA alone.” As anti-Semitism increases in many nations,
the need to help the immigrants once they arrive in Israel is even more
pressing. One way Christians can make a deep impact on what may be the hold up <i>on the Israel side of the backup</i> is
through the humanitarian aid that Israeli Messianic congregations and
ministries are doing to help needy immigrants. Getting people to Israel is only
part of the problem; taking care of them afterwards is the other CRITICAL part.
Since the anti-missionaries pressured
the Jewish Agency to oust the Aliyah Return Center operations from their
facility in the Galilee, ARC has continued to press into developing other ways
to help the immigrants who many arrive very needy, to receive free help. Their
latest venture is opening a free clothing store “specifically bless those that
have recently moved to the promised land, Israel.” To support the work of the
Aliyah Return Center, please <a href="https://aliyahreturncenter.com/en/donate?mc_cid=f24dbf2f8b">DONATE</a>.
<br /> Canadian Dean Bye and Israeli Chaim Malespin are in the US now trying to raise
awareness of this issue. . . and in talking to an Israeli Messianic writer
friend this past week, I have learned that the slow down of processing
immigrant requests is an article my friend is in the process writing about now.
Stay tuned!<br />

I always love hearing from Jackie Santoro, one of the co-founders of the
Jerusalem Ahavat Yeshua congregation along with her husband, Eddie who passed
away two years ago and the Intrater’s.
One, because Eddie had a particularly astute spiritual assessment
ability of current events and since he joined the LORD in eternity, it has
become clear to me that he passed that mantle on to Jackie. She writes, “The
recent war with Hamas led to very violent demonstrations between extremist
groups, both Jewish and Arab. The nation watched in horror and shock as each
group set out to destroy businesses and wreak havoc and even kill those on the
other side. The spirit of hatred and division was boldly manifest even in areas
that had prided themselves on the ability to live in peace with one another.
The trauma to the nation was said to have been even greater than all the rocket
attacks that fell during the same period.”<br />
I can relate so well to that because in 2020, I believe most Americans suffered
the same kind of horror and shock as we saw domestic extremists set fire to so
many of our cities. It was unwarranted and demonic. <br />
The after effect has been “violent caused violent demonstrations against
Israel throughout the world. There has been a significant rise of anti-Semitic
attacks especially in Europe,” Jackie writes, continuing, “May the Jews of the
world hear what the Spirit is saying and come home!”<br />
Jackie also writes “June 15th marked
two years that I have not had my dear Eddie walking by my side. As I have clung
to the Lord through all the difficult moments, He has drawn me to that door and
He has called me to ‘Come up.’ I have found myself absorbed in wanting to learn
about Heaven and imagining what it is like.” <i><a href="https://tikkun.tv/summer-is-here/">Read her full letter</a></i><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">From Out of Zion’s David and Josie Silver, Join David Silver for his <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TtpU9axK-RM">Midweek Update Video - July

ministry in getting people kicked out of the country. Caspari Media Review
noted on the accusation of one ultra-Orthodox man, a Christian couple who has
been in Israel on various visas working as volunteers for around 16 years, has
been ordered to leave Israel. They were just about to get permanent visas to
stay when a Haredi man accused the woman who drove Haredi midwives on Sundays
of missionizing his wife. From there it went to Yad L’Achim activists and then
on to the Interior Ministry who told the woman and her husband they had to
leave the country. It is only one story, but I wanted to include it because
there have been hopes that with the new government, less persecution of
believers would be forthcoming. That appears not to be the case. The bureaucracy
of the Interior Ministry is systemically opposed to believers in Yeshua, but
apparently the new Knesset head of Interior is no less inclined to deal with
that. Pray for this couple having to leave Israel, and also for the injustice
that is caused by this religious persecution. <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />

it so important to financially support Israeli Messianic Ministries?</span></b> <br />
by Donna Diorio<br />
<br />
I have been exploring what the thinking is behind Christian Zionists and
Messianic Jews in the nations failure to see how important it is to not only
pray for Israeli Messianic ministries, but also to provide the financial
support they so desperately need to carry out the full visions God has given
them to reach their countrymen with the Gospel.
I’m talking about the negative, false ideas that are holding back the
kind of full-throated support that our SPIRITUAL brothers and sisters in Israel
need to do the work of the ministry to their fullest abilities. They have the
desire, they lack the funds. <br />
Honestly, I was quite appalled
talking with a Christian Zionist this week who pours major funding into the
coffers of rabbinic pet projects, including but not limited to preparations for
rebuilding of the temple. It is not that he said something new to my ears. I
have heard the same cavalier attitude from other Christian Zionists over the
years. I was just appalled because he also connects with Israeli Messianic
believers, so I could not understand his lack of empathy for the spiritual
brethren in Israel. He seems to think all Jews are his spiritual brethren, not
recognizing that there is major spiritual difference between the Israeli Jews
who are believers and those who aren’t. Many who aren’t are truly gracious to
their Christian benefactors, but vehemently hate and persecute the Israeli
Messianic believers. A lot of Christian Zionists refuse to believe that
reality. <br />
Anyway, I was shocked when he brushed
off the financially struggling Israeli ministries (following Covid, no tourism,
war) writing, “The struggling of the Jewish believers is being counted to them
as righteousness. It is not fun. But we must turn the cheek and love our
brothers." He is referring to the rabbis he funds in Israel who are
unsaved, not understanding they are still as the apostle Paul said, “enemies of
the Gospel.” The simple matter is if Christians – and Messianics are funding
anything in Israel and not making the Israeli Messianic ministries who are
preaching the Gospel in Israel their priority to finance, then that is a
massive failure for whatever reasons are given in hastening the salvation of
all Israel. <br />
In the future I will be addressing
the thinking patterns that stop Christian Zionists and Diaspora Messianic Jews
from prioritizing funding the Messianic congregations and ministries laboring
in Yeshua’s harvest fields of Israel. It
is not to condemn, it is “casting down imaginations, and every high thing that
exalts itself against the knowledge of God” and His plan to bring spiritual
restoration to Israelis – including many religious Jews who now persecute the
believers.<br />
I do believe God is gathering Jews
to Israel so they can be restored spiritually as a nation of Israel...not merely
salvation of individual Jews scattered
all through the nations but that God has a blessing for the whole world in the
salvation of the nation that before our eyes. There are already an estimated 1
million individual Jews who have come to faith in Yeshua around the world, but
for the NATION of Israel to come to faith! This is something that really
registers to people the world over especially because Jewish disdain for Jesus
is so well known. I believe as Israel comes into faith before the eyes of the
whole world, many in the nations are going to marvel at how God loves the
Jews. It will release gentiles in the
nations to come to faith just witnessing Israel's Jews coming to faith in
Jesus/Yeshua<b>! No wonder the enemy uses every misdirection
in the book to keep Christians and Messianics in the Diaspora from seeing that.</b>
God did not re-establish the nation of Israel just to show He could do it. He
did it to show the world that His unfailing love is TRULY unfailing.<br />
That is the first time I have been
able to express so well the WHY of WHAT I believe is going to happen in the
coming years of Israel's salvation. It will be like "life from dead"
not only for the Jews who get saved in Israel, but for the nations where seekers
will see it and explode with the faith it will create in Messiah Yeshua, Jesus
the Anointed. <br />
Genesis 22:17-18 <i>"I will
surely bless you, and I will multiply your descendants like the stars in the
sky and the sand on the seashore. Furthermore, through your descendants all the
nations of the earth will be blessed, because you have obeyed my Voice."</i>
I do not believe this promise of God to
the Jews is only referring to Jesus/Yeshua coming out of the Jewish people, but
there remains a blessing on the world as Jews come to faith in Yeshua in Israel
- obeying the Voice of God.<br />

That the “Tikkun” movement, and its top leaders—Dan Juster, Asher

that they understand that their manner of expression in different forums—in
recordings of messages and on websites—could possibly cause those who are not
part of the “Tikkun” movement to think that they believe themselves to be a
continuation of the apostles from the time of the writing of the New Testament,
and as a (unique) representative of the Israeli Body. <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: .5in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">2- The men of “Tikkun” clarified, in the
strongest terms, that they do not hold these views. <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: .5in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">3- The men of “Tikkun” expressed regret
about this misunderstanding, and expressed their apologies and repentance in
regardsto their manner of expression which is prone to cause misunderstandings
with respect to #1 above; and promised to change their manner of expression
concerning the above matters in every forum, on the internet, and in social

the above changes between our first and second meetings. <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: .5in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">5- An intense discussion was begun
concerning the view of Dan Juster and Tikkun about the salvation of the
unbeliever without faith in Yeshua the Messiah; Dan began to explain his
position as the “Narrow Wider Hope.” </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">The Israeli Body of Messiah
views the men of “Tikkun” as brothers in the Messiah. There
is an expectation to continue the discussion in order to bring clarification to
this issue, and other issues, which at the present time we do not agree on. <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: .5in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">6- It should be mentioned that within
the Israeli Body of Messiah there are a variety of opinions in relation to
ecclesiology and eschatology. We discussed these issues both in the
context of Tikkun’s views, as well as in the wider context of the whole Body of
Messiah in Israel. <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: .5in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">7- We discussed whether the Scriptures
allow for apostles to exist and function in our day. To a group of the
participants it is clear that Ephesians 4:11-13 does allow for the existence of
apostles in the Body of Messiah today, but that they are not on the same level
as the apostles of the New Testament. Along with this, we discussed the
question of whether or not the Tikkun leaders are in fact apostles, and there
