WEEKLY Arrows from Zion 10/18/2017

Priority Prayer Focus Oct 18, 2017

Psalm 19:1-6
The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.

Day after day they pour forth speech;  night after night they reveal knowledge.

They have no speech, they use no words; no sound is heard from them.

Yet their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world.

    In the heavens God has pitched a tent for the sun.

It is like a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, like a champion rejoicing to run his course.

It rises at one end of the heavens and makes its circuit to the other; nothing is deprived of its warmth.

Winding down from the many gatherings as Christians from the nations have flocked to Jerusalem for the Fall Feasts of Israel. We are hearing many wonderful and encouraging reports - many of which you can read about in this issue of the Weekly Summary (attached docx), or you can find links to click you to the reports made online. One thing is for certain - everyone was blessed by the gatherings this year!

Martin Sarvis in Jerusalem says he has more to come as he digests everything that took placed, but inside the Weekly Summary attachment    he gives a glowing report of the "Welcoming the King of Glory" gathering - the only event that was at the invite of the local Messianic believers...at the encouragement of first nations believers "in the islands and far reaches of the South Pacific." You will be blessed to read Martin and Norma's initial impressions from the event .  Prayer points are included at the end of their letter.

Also watch the speakers Feast of Tabernacles gathering sponsored by the Christian Embassy ICEJ on Facebook.

Eddie Santoro also writes, "The celebrations have been extensive and wonderful. We have had the joy of attending some of the Feast of Tabernacles Conference put on by the International Christian Embassy. Over six thousand believers from eighty nations of the world gathered together in honor of this Feast and appointment by God. . . . I am also grateful to the ICEJ for asking me to participate. On this past Shabbat, Salim, a dear faithful Arab brother and I led the Communion Service at the Garden Tomb with over 2,000 people in attendance. Tuesday afternoon I shared a message on Sukkoth with believers from all over the world. What a blessing it was to have this opportunity!"

Eddie also wrote about the intercongregational Sukkot celebration they had with over 600 mostly local believers; the Welcoming the King of Glory Conference, and the US tour which they embarked on a few days ago - see itinerary inside the Weekly Summary in Israeli Ministries on Tours section.

Katy Smith writes for Ari & Shira Sorko Ram's Maoz ministry, "When you feel like you're standing alone against the world, there's nothing more refreshing than meeting someone who proclaims their love and commitment to stand with you. Spending three days in Jerusalem, and seeing thousands of Christians from around the world display their love and support was an uplifting experience. There is a true power when people from many nations, who speak different languages, come together to worship the God of Israel, and that power is unstoppable. In the world where the false Palestinian narrative advances rapidly, trampling over the truth of God's Word, we here in Israel appreciate every "vote of confidence" from those who are steadfast in knowing that God has given this land to Israel as an everlasting possession, and that He established Israel forever as His chosen people—NOT BETTER than non-Jewish believers, but having a different calling—to be a light unto the nations. Thank you for standing with us week after week, making it possible for us to preach the Gospel to people whose salvation is the key to Yeshua's return.  Thank you for your prayers."   

The full report covers the Maoz activities at the ICEJ gathering where the Maoz staff were able to connect with their representatives in Maoz Brazil and to Spanish speakers;  Simchat Torah celebrations, prayer requests for Shira and Ari, and an appeal to support their benevolence outreach I Stand With Israel.

On the Topic of Messianic Jews (Organizations) this article in Haaretz newspaper on September 20, 2017

SUMMARY: This article surveys the widely varying sites to be seen along Israel’s Highway 40, which begins in Kfar-Saba and ends in Kibbutz Ketura, 300 kilometers to the south. Among the places mentioned in the article is the Baptist Village, and the Netivah organization, the youth movement of the Messianic Jewish community, the offices of which are on the premises. The writer, who met some of the staff and participants while they were engaged in moving offices, notes that those he spoke to had all served in the IDF, many in elite units. According to the article, Yoel Goldberg, the founder, “…spoke enthusiastically on the principles of the Messianic Jewish faith, according to which the end of every Jew is to believe in Jesus.” According to Goldberg, Messianic Jews understand “…one cannot live in Israel and be a pacifist.” The article noted that they serve in the military without any reservations, “…despite the fact that their faith is based on compassion, patience, mercy, and love."

Before the Eclipse, the Sign

by Donna Diorio, Arrows from Zion

On August 21 a total eclipse occurred in the USA which many interpreted as a sign of God's coming judgment on America. This is the historical response of mankind to solar eclipses. The Babylonians - who were fairly accurate at predicting eclipses as early as 1375 BCE - and the ancient Chinese believed an eclipse was a bad omen for their kings. They even took steps to seat a temporary king to face the anticipated anger of 'the gods'.

There is a storied history surrounding solar eclipses, but there is also a history of major scientific breakthroughs.  Albert Einstein theorized the existence of gravitational waves more than a century ago. Last summer, a good five days before the total eclipse passed from west to east across the US, international scientists observed an astronomical  marvel that took place 130 million years ago. More than 70 labs and telescopes across the world witnessed what happened when two neutron stars locked into gravitational sync with each other, circling round and round until at last they collided and merged together as one. When that merge occurred, it released  energy that spread outward throughout the universe.

On Aug. 17, 2017 those signals reached Earth — and sparked an astronomy revolution.  Scientists  are calling this discovery so profound that it has created a new era in space research which they are calling "MultiMesseger Astrophysics".  Through spiritual eyes, NASA's video depiction of this "multi-messenger" event speaks  strongly of the power that will be released when God's plan in Yeshua is fully realized.  Jew and Gentile in Him are already locked into a 'gravitational pull' to be made one in Messiah. When we at last collide, merging as one in Him, the spiritual energy from our impact will radiate outward throughout our world in the greatest revival the world has seen.  [Click picture to see NASA animation]

True science will speak not only to the existence of our Creator, but also to His plans for mankind. This is an even greater spiritual sign and message than any which have been claimed regarding the solar eclipse. God knows the end from the beginning.

Scientists speaking to the Times of Israel also noted that the colliding stars confirmed another discovery to them, "We see the gold being formed."
