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.


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. Read this and more inside the subscription only Attached DOCX Weekly Summary of Prayer Requests from Israeli Ministries.

Ron Cantor is keeping it real in his latest blog "Yeshua was 'Blanking' Jewish!" - the exclamation from his Israeli taxi driver after Ron began to share with him about Yeshua on a cab ride.  Good report! Plus more good reports on the summer Sea of Galilee swim that saw the donation that put them over the top in the $50,000 matching fund drive to double the Tiferet Yeshua congregation and install live-streaming equipment.  You can read about all this and also about Israel's 70th anniversary tour that Ron and Elana will be conducting in April next year inside the Weekly Summary attachment

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."


 
My Word


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."

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
Contact info for all the ministries included inside the subscription-only Weekly Summary.

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. Read Jim's report inside the Weekly Summary attachment      

Also from KehilaNews.com  

VIDEO: KNI coverage of Panai el-Adonai: Messianic Concert in Jerusalem, Israel on Sept 26, 2017 | Kehila News Israel Staff | A body-wide concert of Israeli Messianic believers was held in Jerusalem on Sept 26, 2017. The event entitled "Panai el-Adonai" (“My face towards the Lord” from Daniel 9:3) brought together the Messianic community to worship and intercede with songs from all over Israel.

Messianic concert draws believers and nonbelievers from around Israel | Bat-El Leonard | Three days before Yom Kippur (the Day of Atonement), when Israelis fast, seek atonement before the Lord and thousands stream to the Western Wall for prayers, believers joined together to turn their faces to the Lord at the Pavilion in Jerusalem.

WEEKLY Arrows from Zion 10/4/2017 Tabernacles

Priority Prayer Focus Oct 4, 2017

Major emphasis in most of the Israeli ministry letters over the past week is the focus on the Fall Feasts of the Lord in progress. There are several  short teachings on the various Feasts as well as reports from some of the many conferences and gatherings going on during these feast days which draw Jews and Christians from the nations to participate. These Feasts are "appointed times" which God has set up to communicate to the Jews their nation's salvation through Yeshua (Jesus). That makes this a key moment for the spiritual eye-opening of many Jews in Israel and the nations. So please keep at the top of your prayers - not only for those about to be saved, but also for the believers of Israel who are witnesses to Yeshua the Messiah:

I will rescue you from your own people and from the Gentiles. I am sending you to them to open their eyes, so that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those sanctified by faith in Me.’ Acts 26:17-18

Israel Pochtar begins this week with a report on their Yom Kippur in Jerusalem at the All Nations Convocation, "where close to a hundred nations have come together to pray together and praise God in unison." Pochtar also gives a short review of the meaning of the Sukkot, or Feast of Tabernacles which he notes is the prophetic future that is also vividly described in Zechariah 14:9,16.

Pochtar speaks about the outreach event they did last week, bringing in around 1,000 non-believers to a Biblical tour of the Galilee going to the "Mountain Transfiguration, Village of Cana, Capernaum, Sea of Galilee, etc. We walked in Yeshua's footsteps and got to show people how His message comes alive through His word and the places where he performed so many miracles and served the people. It's very powerful and people are moved to tears when visiting those places while hearing the messages that are recorded in the Bible that he taught in those specific spots." A large majority of the participants stood to pray the Sinner's Prayer ...Read more inside the Weekly Summary attachment      

The weekly ministry letter from Maoz Ministries of Ari and Shira Sorko-Ram came out last week on the same day we sent out our summary, which is their top story was the terrorist attack that happened last Tuesday in Har Adar, a town near Jerusalem. Read Faces. Stories. Ruined families. Tears. Funerals. inside the Weekly Summary attachment. Also the concerns of another intifada igniting.  Even as this Arrows from Zion is being prepared on Wed, 10/4, we see an Israeli newspaper report that a 70-year old Jewish man has suffered a violent death and been found in an industrial area outside of Jerusalem in an Israeli-Arab area. This is the same kind of lead up that started the war in Gaza a few years ago. Please pray and get prayer points from the Maoz letter inside the Weekly Summary attachment along with other prayer requests for the ministry and a short perspective on family by Katy Smith.

Also from the Maoz Israel monthly report: Biblical Reasons To Stand With Israel | Today, many believers in the world not only don't understand why they should stand with and support Israel, but openly take a stand against her. Is our little country perfect? Of course not! But perfection was never a prerequisite for God's love. Quite the contrary! But that does not preclude God's command to every true believer to stand with Israel, love Israel, pray for the Jewish people and support Israel. Continue Reading online               

From the Hebrew congregation in Arad, a follow up on their last report about the growing persecution of the Hassidei Gur (ultra-orthodox sect) in Arad against the Messianics and seculars in town. "Standing in the Day of Evil" speaks about how the persecution may have started with them but it spread to engulf many in town.  They also refer to an article that appeared in Arutz Sheva which spun their story with lies. I mention this specifically because so many Christians follow Arutz Sheva news stories because it is a religious source which they believe is 'safe'. Not so. It is most unreliable - especially with stories related to the believers and followers of Yeshua. Please take note of this for future reference. Read more from the Hasdey Yeshua, Mercy of Yeshua congregation inside the subscription only Attached DOCX Weekly Summary of Prayer Requests from Israeli Ministries.

David Lazarus of the Beit Immanuel congregation in Jaffa has a short Yom Kippur message inside the Weekly Summary attachment       

Eddie Santoro of the Ahavat Yeshua (Love of Yeshua) congregation writes about a young waiter they have witnessed to before coming to faith last week. This is a great testimony of how the Holy Spirit is leading the believers in Israel to those hearts that have been prepared to receive.  Santoro also writes about several gatherings he was attended in conjunction with the Feast of Trumpets (Rosh HaShana) that have included Arab churches and pastors - some with 600 in attendance!  Eddie writes, "...we know that as the fellowship between Jew and Arab grows, the power and destiny of Israel will also take its place of dominance."  Read more about these gatherings inside the Weekly Summary attachment          

Orna Grinman, A Sign & An Example (Ot Oo’Mofet), has a new blog piece:  Atoning without blood | Is it possible? Can anyone atone for sins and receive forgiveness without the shedding of a clean blood? Leviticus 17:11 is only one verse out of many that explains how it works: a pure and sinless soul (blood) has to be poured for a sinful soul to be covered.

From the northern Israeli Kerem-El (God's Vineyard) congregation, this update from the Stefen and Keren Silver who are in leadership there.  "We have had some exciting things happening in Kerem-El Congregation since this year so far, especially with evangelism. Here are some updates concerning our work in the congregation." Read about those inside the subscription only Attached DOCX Weekly Summary of Prayer Requests from Israeli Ministries.  They also have a big personal announcement, and this link to where you can purchase Keren's 12-song worship CD

The Kerem-El congregation has big news from their members, two of which took the top 2 places in the annual Messianic Business Competition. In order for the body of Messiah in Israel as a whole to grow and sustain themselves, their congregational members need to be able to prosper in business. Due to persecution of the faith, this has not always been easy which is why there is an organization that is encouraging Messianic believers in their own businesses.  Read about the Kerem-El first and second place winners inside the Weekly Summary attachment

Even though this comes toward the end of Arrows from Zion this week it is one of the most serious things we are spotlighting for intercessory prayer. It comes from Carolyn and Richard Hyde of the Heart of God ministries in the Sea of Galilee region. There is a scheme of the enemy against them to revoke their citizenship which I encourage you to read about inside the subscription only Attached DOCX Weekly Summary of Prayer Requests from Israeli Ministries.

I don't want to share these things on a public forum, but one thing I will share:  "We are sharing this NOT so you'll hate the ultra-Orthodox.  Please don't hate them, but pray for those who persecute us and ask G-d for a road to Damascus experience for the Shas Party, who control the MOI.  'Indeed, all who desire to live godly in Messiah Yeshua will be persecuted'."  2 Tim 3:12  The Acts scripture in the Priority Prayer Focus is for you, Richard and Carolyn.

Also for the sake of protecting those involved, you MUST READ this most startling testimony they shared "A Living Testimony" of how the Holy Spirit led their son on a mostly deserted beach to literally save a young woman who had just taken 120 pills to kill herself.  She was saved physically and spiritually on the spot - rescued just in the nick of time by someone willing to step out in faith at the direction of the Holy Spirit. inside the Weekly Summary attachment
