Anti-Semitism

The United Nations Charter demands "Equality of Nations Large and Small." In reality, the U.N. produces inequality for Jews and the Jewish nation. The U.N. has launched a "Legal Pogrom" against the Jewish State. A "Legal Pogrom" is a license to kill. Modern Anti-Semitism targets Israel's right of self-defense.

Witness the following: 35% of all resolutions of the U.N. Human Rights Council condemn one state - Israel; 50% of emergency special sessions of the U.N. General Assembly over 60 years denounced Israel; The Human Rights Council has a fixed agenda with one item to condemn Israel at every session; 70% of all 2013 General Assembly Resolutions criticizing specific countries were against Israel. The U.N. Division For Palestinians Rights denies entry to public meetings for Jews. This all Anti-Semitism!

In 2004, when Israel targeted Hamas terrorist leader Abdel Aziz Al-Rantissi and there were no civilian casualties, the U.N. still called it a violation of International Law. Yet, Israel had to respond to 8,000 Hamas rockets over ten years and in 2014 Israel responded to 4,382 Hamas rockets and 32 terror tunnels with 14 opening into Israel. Why is the U.N. not having a conference about combating Anti-Semitism? Why is there not an investigation into whether the U.N. is functioning according to its charter?

Isaiah 62:1,7 - "For Zion's Sake I will not remain silent. . .until He establishes Jerusalem as a Praise in the earth." We who love Israel cannot "Remain Silent." During the Holocaust, the Christian church and the government of the United States remained silent. We cannot let this happen again! We must be bold and strong to speak the truth about Israel!

Encouraging Signs

The continuing Palestinian narrative as part of the land-for-peace process is that Israel currently "occupies" a country known as Palestine. The United Nations in 1948 offered side by side states to the Jewish people and the Palestinians - Israel accepted, the Arabs refused. This week the Washington Post acknowledged there is "No Occupied Palestine." This is a step in the right direction since most Western media outlets have painted Israel as the "Occupier of the West Bank" which in reality is Biblical Judea and Samaria.

Former Israeli President Shimon Peres has recently organized a friendly soccer match between Israeli and Palestinian children a week after the Gaza War ended. Make a guess who condemned such a demonstration of peaceful co-existence? It was the Palestinian authorities! The match was very special and important since it included Israeli children from the rocket - battered town of Sderot and Palestinian children from Hebron where three Jewish teens were kidnapped and killed.

Another heart warming story is about a badly wounded 12 year old Syrian boy who rode a donkey to safety in Israel. The boy and an older brother were warmly greeted by Israeli soldiers and transferred to the Ziv Hospital. This is just one story of hundreds of Syrians who have been lovingly received by the same Jews they were taught to hate.

Our Lord God is on the move responding to the millions of prayers offered for Israel and the Middle East as a whole. The Gaza War has ended and ISIS is being addressed by a coalition of 24 countries. There are now hundreds of Messianic Congregations in Israel worshiping Jesus as their Messiah and large numbers of Arabs are receiving Jesus as their Savior many times seeing Jesus in visions. We rarely see reports such as these since all the negative happenings make headlines. Additionally, I watched a video on the internet from a Marine base in California showing hundreds of Marines standing and singing with gusto "These Are The Days Of Elijah." Hallelujah! Let us all continue praying and thanking The Lord for His responses to our prayers.

Four Blood Moons

"And there will be signs in the sun, in the moon and in the stars. . .Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory." Luke 21:25,27. The Word of God proclaims there will be signs in the heavens prior to the "Son of Man Coming." We live in such a day and time as 2014 and 2015 that are within a cycle of Four Blood Moons which coincide with our Lord God's Feast Days.

What is a Blood Moon? It happens during a Total Lunar Eclipse and the moon appears blood-red. Single total lunar eclipses are fairly common, however, four consecutive happening on Feast Days are rare. Each time this has happened in history, a significant event has occurred relating to the Jewish people or Israel.

During the Four Blood Moons in 1493 and 1494, two hundred thousand Jews were expelled from Spain when they did not convert to Catholicism. The State of Israel was founded in connection with Four Blood Moons of 1949 and 1950. The Six Day War of 1967 found Jerusalem reunited for the Jewish people and Israel capturing Judea and Samaria, Golan Heights and the Sinai Peninsula. All took place in connection with the Blood Moons of 1967 and 1968.

This brings us to the current cycle of Blood Moons. One has already occurred in connection with Passover, April 15, 2014. The second will occur on the Feast of Tabernacles October 8, 2014; the third on Passover April 4, 2015; the last on Feast of Tabernacles September 28, 2015.

What does all this mean to us? I believe our Lord God is revealing prophetic signs with the current Blood Red Moons cycle and will bless Israel in the process. "And it shall come to pass afterward that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions. . .And I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth: Blood and fire and pillars of smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, Before the coming of the great and terrible day of The Lord. . .for in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be deliverance." Joel 2:28,30,31,32.

Prayer and Fasting

Last week a cease fire was declared between Israel and Hamas which appears to be holding unlike numerous other declarations previously. Also during last week Rabbis in Jerusalem declared a day of prayer and fasting. It would appear to me the reason this cease fire is holding is because of the bold declaration of the Rabbis. After thirty days of peace, peace talks in Egypt are scheduled to continue.

Israeli history reveals over and over again that as God's people turn to Him during difficult times He responds. We could do a through study of every war that Israel has fought and won and see the hand of God providing guidance and victory in supernatural ways. Even during this recent conflict in Gaza, Hamas members openly admit that the Israeli God has numerous times re-directed their rockets away from the original target of Hamas.

During the American Revolution there was a theme, "Resistance To Tyrants Is Obedience To God." President George Washington hoped that Americans would never forget God's role in the American Revolution. The Continental Congress regularly called for National Days of "Humiliation, Fasting and Prayer." At one point, the National Capital and Congress were forced to flee. American forces were poorly armed and near starvation, yet they repeatedly survived and prevailed against all odds. British leaders were perplexed by America's unexpected survival. Hallelujah!

Our Lord God desires to take care of His people, BUT we must turn to Him in prayer and fasting. Psalm 76:1,4,6,8 says, "In Judah God is known; His name is great in Israel. You are more glorious and excellent than the mountains of prey. At Your rebuke, O God of Jacob, both the chariot and horse were cast into a deep sleep. You caused judgment to be heard from Heaven; the earth feared and was still."
