WEEKLY Arrows from Zion 10/11/2017 Sukkot/Tabernacles

Priority Prayer Focus Oct 11, 2017

Many peoples will come and say, "Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the temple of the God of Jacob. He will teach us his ways, so that we may walk in his paths." The law will go out from Zion, the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.  Isaiah 2:3

Arrows from Zion
Strategically Aimed for the Lord’s Harvest in Israel

It is all about the Sukkot, Feast of Tabernacles gatherings in Jerusalem this week and the Weekly Summary is packed with insights and reports from several ministries taking part in the various events this week. Israel is always flooded with Christians from the nations during the Fall Feasts, but this year we are seeing a greatly encouraging emphasis on the Body of Messiah in Israel taking part in these events.  Inside the Weekly Summary attachment you will find links to view some of the events and prayer points for the one remaining event which has just started, Welcoming the King of Glory, which Martin Sarvis gives an excellent overview of and prayer points for.

To watch the ICEJ International Christian Embassy Jerusalem Sukkot "Feast of Tabernacles " Event this week, you can view archived sessions on the ICEJ Facebook page and also from the ICEJ website.

Revive Israel kicks off our Summary this week with an article by Jonathan Moore called Sukkot: Hosting the Nations. Also two videos from Asher Intrater: one his Asher's address to the ICEJ Tabernacles gathering which you can view on Facebook VIDEO.  It is about God's call for alignment and unity within Israel and the nations in these Last Days. The second video by Asher is related, it is The Crowning of King Yeshua

Howard Bass of the Yeshua's Inheritance congregation in Beer Sheva also reminds us that it is the 100th anniversary of that great and courageous -- almost miraculous -- victory of the Beer Sheva Charge and victory by the ANZAC over the Turks on Oct 31, 1917, during WW1.  The annual commemoration of this greatly impactful historical event is extra special this 100th anniversary and the Nachalat Yeshua congregation is in the big middle of the event as always. Howard writes, "It was a turning point in the war for the Western allies, and it broke the power of the Islamic Turkish Ottoman Empire in Israel at that time. (Today, we see a revival of Islamic intentions to reestablish their Caliphate over this land, and throughout the world.  I believe it can be said that the Islamic kingdom is the fourth and dreadful beast of Daniel's vision which caused him so much distress." Read more about the event by clicking title above. 

Howard also shares another message in Simchat Torah in the beautifully updates website. Also inside the Weekly Summary attachment see the prayer requests for the event, for the holy day participants in Israel, and for their own Beer Sheva congregation.

If you would like to know the biblical basis for the Sukkot holy days Martin Sarvis sites the biblical passages that concern the Feast, and gives background related to it.  As mentioned earlier, he also gives a great summary of the Welcoming the King of Glory conference - a vision that was given some 30 years ago to a group of South Pacific leaders. Read it and the prayer requests for this event which just got underway.  Sarvis writes, "This is, however, the first event of which we are aware in which leaders from abroad have approached those of the Body in Israel, sharing a vision they felt was from God—but which would only come to fruition if the Body here felt it was God’s word and His timing—and took the initiative preparing a way for it." Also, Sarvis notes that the spiritual attacks against this event have been "concentrated and relentless". He invites us to pray over it, providing several prayer points inside the Weekly Summary attachment

The monthly Tikkun network newsletter is out with these articles:
                The Apostle and the High Priest | Asher Intrater (Revive Israel) | There must be no pride, ego or human glory when we speak of serving the Lord.
                Reigning in the Ultra-Orthodox in Israel | Daniel Juster (Restoration from Zion) | The rest of the Israelis who have to fund the welfare system on behalf of the ultra-Orthodox through high taxation, highly resent this.                   Fathers to Sons: a Relay Race | Eitan Shishkoff (Ohalei Rachamim) | What are the keys to transferring leadership from one generation to the next?                           
                 An Invitation to Stop | Avi T. (Tents of Mercy) | The High Holy Days are an invitation to stop and consider where we are heading, who we are going with, how we are getting there and most of all, who is directing our journey.                                                                                       
                Common Ground | Yevgeni Stanukevich (Return to Zion) | ... stop being judgmental and start ... bearing good fruit for the kingdom of God together as one...                                                                   
                Hosting the Nations & New Record Numbers | Cody Archer (Revive Israel) | It is interesting that this growth is coinciding with the record breaking year Israel is having nationally in welcoming the nations through tourism.                                               
                Real Peace between Jews and Arabs in Israel | Moti Cohen (Revive Israel) | Seeing an Arab pastor at a Jewish congregation in the heart of Tel-Aviv, teaching, encouraging, blessing, and praying for us, seeing him as a part of our family - that, for me, is true love and peace.   

Maoz Ministries, Ari and Shira Sorko Ram, also write about the Sukkot feast inside the Weekly Summary attachment and include many prayer requests from their ministry in Israel, as well as international offices, such as  "Keep PRAYING for the printing of the "You Are Special" children's book.  Pray for the other eight books we continue to work on. PRAY for Shira, who has two weeks to complete two issues of the Maoz Israel Report before she and Ari resume their travel. "

Avner Boskey has a new article, The two-edged sword of Replacement Theology:  "The abominable snow-job known as Replacement Theology is found in the most unusual places - even among those who hold to a future for the Jewish people."

From the Intercessors for Israel in Jerusalem — Ofer Amitai, Eliyahu Ben-Haim and Chuck Cohen — we have taken excerpts from their last Friday Prayer Points, including on the subjects of how the "Palestinian Authority in Judea and Samaria and the Hamas terrorist overlords in the Gaza Strip have made serious moves towards reconciliation under Egyptian auspices this past week". There are prayer points with scripture verses to pray over this development. Also on Israel's security situation along the northern and north-eastern border; the security needs as thousands of Christians are in Israel to celebrate the Feast; Trump's next move on de-certifying the Iran Deal; and more. Also IFI director Chck Cohen is traveling to Memphis, TN and Burlington, NC, then on to Berlin, Germany - prayers requested.

Sally Shiff who is the intercessor and liaison for the HaMaayan congregation in Kfar Saba, is also off to the US at the end of the Sukkot festival, also called the Feast of the Ingathering.  Read Sally's short report on their festivities and also prayer requests for her upcoming trip inside the Weekly Summary attachment               

Evan Glasser of the HaTikva Project made a big announcement this week on Facebook: "We have set the date for our first "HaTikva Families" conference focused on promoting adoption and foster care in Israel. On Feb 1st, 2018 we will be gathering to encourage the Body of Messiah to take the lead in caring for the orphans and at risk children in Israel. We can't say everything in one post but suffice it to say that we are making very good connections and inroads at high-levels as it relates to this project. Not everyone in Israel may want Jewish believers to be involved in adoption and foster, but there are MANY who do. Mark your calendars now. More details to come.

Joel and Teresa Jelski also have big news to announce with great changes coming in taking on a new ministry role in another part of the country - a big move that will be accomplished over the next year in three phases of preparation.  You can read about it, or watch the video inside the subscription only Attached DOCX Weekly Summary of Prayer Requests from Israeli Ministries. Joel is asking specifically that this sensitive information not be shared (including the privately viewable video) on any social media platform - although you are welcome to share through email or texting your friends which the Jelski's encourage because they need the help of their friends to undertake the needed ministry preparations.

Jim Schutz is the director of the Joseph Project, the largest importer of humanitarian aid to Israel. He is a long time resident of Israel, closely connected with the Messianic believers. That is important when choosing how to give humanitarian aid to Israel. We always want a deep connection to the body of Messiah in Israel. Read about the latest ways the Joseph Project has been blessing the Israeli needy from the southernmost tip of Israel in Eilat to the northernmost city of Kiryat Shmonah, next to Lebanon.
