Supporting Israel

Recently, a Christian procession through Jerusalem demonstrated to Israelis that they do not stand alone. Israeli President Herzog said, "Your presence demonstrates your unwavering support for our nation and its people. The State of Israel welcomes you with open arms."

This procession was organized by Jobst Bittner, Head of The International March of Movement. The movement organizes marching at Holocaust Sites all over Europe and at more than 500 cities within 20 nations around the world. Bittner proclaims as a German, "We must speak out against Anti-Semitism and stand with Israel."

On April 20th in the United States Capital Building, a ceremony was held to recognize Holocaust survivors. Some were actually present and spoke about family members who they lost during the Holocaust. A positive movement by the United States Government is that they have appointed a director to eliminate Anti-Semitism in the United States. She was the featured speaker. Praise The Lord!

Please Pray With Us Psalm 122 In Support Of Israel:

Vs. 1 "I was glad when they said to me, 'Let us go into the house of The Lord.'"

Vs. 2 "Our feet have been standing within your gates, O Jerusalem!"

Vs. 6 "Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem: May they prosper who love you."

Vs. 7 "Peace be within your walls, prosperity within your palaces."

Vs. 8 "For the sake of my brethren and companions, I will now say, 'Peace be within you.'"

Blessings,

The Land!

A left leaning Israeli Leader is expected to view "The West Bank" as Palestinian Arab Land illegally occupied by Israel. He says only Jewish "Extremists" insist on calling the region by its Biblical name Judea and Samaria and insist the right of the Jews is to settle on these lands. While visiting Judea and Samaria an Israeli extremist said, "Our forefathers put down roots in Judea and Samaria." Who Owns Judea And Samaria?

The Word of God is very clear about Judea and Samaria! It was given by Jehovah God to His Chosen People - The Jews. There is no question about this no matter what the Palestinians; countries of the world; NATO or the United Nations might say! Genesis 15:18 says, "On the same day The Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying: 'To your descendants I have given this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the River Euphrates.'"

The land given by God to His Chosen People runs from Egypt to the Euphrates River with the Mediterranean Sea as its West Border and Jordan as its East Border. Certainly, this land given by God to His People includes Judea and Samaria!

Please Pray Psalm 68 For God's People In Judea And Samaria:

Vs. 1   "Let God arise, let His enemies be scattered."

Vs. 2   "As smoke is driven away, so drive them away."

Vs. 33 "Indeed, He sends out His voice, a mighty voice."

Vs. 34 "Ascribe strength to God, His excellence is over Israel."

Vs. 35 "The God of Israel is He who gives strength to His People."

Blessings,

Frank

Genesis 12:3

Please notice the title in which Gnesis 12:3 says "I Will Bless Those Who Bless You." Jehovah God desires to bless those who bless Israel. Each weekly message will bring an update of happenings in Israel and will end with prayer for those situations using a Psalm as the reference.

When Benjamin Netanyahu was recently re-elected as Prime Minister, it was believed Right-Wing Politics would dominate decisions. After four months, there is a crisis in the Right-Wing Coalition. National Security Minister Itamar Ben Guir has said he will not vote with the Right-Wing Coalition unless Netanyahu pursues more Right-Wing Policies.

Ben Guir believes Netanyahu reacted in a weak manner in his response to rocket attacks from Gaza. The prime minister responded by saying, "If Ben Guir is dissatisfied, he is welcome to leave the government." Ben Guir also feels as Minister of National Security, he should be involved in discussions on how to respond to rocket attacks. Possibly, Ben Guir was not invited to discussions because he believes the way to deal with Gaza is "To bomb it into oblivion." The Knesset does not welcome this type of attitude.

Currently, Right-Wing Politics is not capable of functioning in Israel. Israel's leadership has to always pay attention to political considerations worldwide. Israel's hands are not free to function as they desire!

Is Israel's Government an abomination to Jehovah God? Israel rejected God as their King in 1Samuel 8:5 when they said "Now make for us a king to judge us like all the nations." Likewise, Israel's current government is considered a democracy but please notice all the turmoil in its attempt to function with results.

How can we pray for the government in Israel? Psalm 81 is entitled "God's Plea For Israel's Obedience." Please pray the following verses with us:

Verse 1. "Sing aloud to God our strength."

Verse 8. "Hear, O My people and I will admonish you!"

Verse 9. "There shall be no foreign god among you."

Verse 10 "I am the Lord your God."

Verse 13. " Oh that My people would listen to Me."

Verse 14. "I would soon subdue their enemies."

Hallelujah . . . Bless His Holy Name!

Blessings,

Frank

Jesus, The Revelator, Final Message

This will be the final message in our study of the Book Of Revelation. Some of you might be declaring Hallelujah! We know many pastors do not teach Revelation believing it is difficult to understand. Yes, it can be challenging but we believe Christians need to know what has to take place prior to Jesus returning to earth. We hope you now feel more confident about end time events.

Revelation 19:7-8 says, "Let us be glad and rejoice and give Him glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come and His wife has made herself ready. And to her it was granted to be arrayed in fine linen, clean and bright, for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints." 

This is one of the most special couple of verses in God's Word. The timing of this event is challenging but it is believed to happen at the end of the Tribulation Period just prior to Jesus returning to earth. Those who are "Saved" are invited to this most Glorious Meal In History! We will sit and eat a meal with Jesus as The Host. John 14:2 says Jesus "Has prepared a place for us" to include this very special meal. Bless His Holy Name! 

We also believe that shortly after this special meal Jesus returns to earth. {Revelation 19:11-21.} It is important to understand all that is happening at this point in time. The kings of the earth have gathered armies at the valley called Meggog in Israel to invade Jerusalem. This battle is also referred to as the Battle of Armageddon. Jesus is observing all of these events.

Revelation 19:11-21 are entitled "Second Coming Of Jesus" and verse 11 says, "Then I saw Heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True and in righteousness He judges and makes war." Jesus is coming to earth riding on a white horse in the sky. All those who are saved will follow Him dressed in white riding on white horses. {Revelation 19:14.}

Revelation 19:15 says, "Now out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He should strike the nations." Jesus instantly defeats the armies attempting to destroy Jerusalem starting His ruling and reigning on earth as the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Hallelujah!

Our next message will start a time when we will bring updates on the tense scenario in Israel and how we all can pray effectively for the "Peace of Jerusalem." based on the Psalms.

Blessings,

Frank
