Each week our message seems to have a negative connotation concerning the Jewish people and Israel. This is happening because the whole purpose of our message each week is to inform and encourage prayer for Israel as anti-semitism is on the rise throughout the world. Today, we will share some good news so do not be discouraged . . . continue praying!
There are two countries in Europe taking steps of repentance toward the Jewish people. Spain expelled 300,000 Jewish refugees in 1492 under the leadership of King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella. Currently, a proposed Sephardic Ancestry Bill is offering citizenship to 3.5 million Jews around the world whose ancestors were forced to leave Spain. Portugal has already passed a similar bill.
Additionally, a group of 200 British Christians want to apologize to the Jewish people for the way their government turned back Jewish refugees 70 years ago. The British government prevented thousands of Jewish refugees from landing in Israel because of immigration quotas. In effect, Britain ignored its own Balfour Declaration of 1917 promising to help establish a home for the Jewish people.
Between 1938 and 1948 Britain prevented more than 90 ships from landing at Haifa. Those people turned away were put in camps in Cyprus or even returned to camps in Germany. Lord Simon Isaacs hopes the British government will admit its mistakes in time for the 100th anniversary of the Balfour Declaration in 2017.
Our Lord God has not abandoned His original covenant people and He never will. These two reports are an example in the middle of all the anti-semitism in Europe. They are also examples of our Lord God responding to the prayers offered world wide on behalf of Israel and the Jewish people.
Keep On Praying . . . Keep On Praying . . . Hallelujah!
May The Lord Bless You And Keep You This Day And Each Day,
Frank
