The Kingdom of God is Relational

27 02 2025

The world systems are transactional, but God’s Kingdom is relational. Personal salvation, fellowship with family and other believers, and even business and politics work better relationally than with impersonal transactions. This is now becoming visible even in geo-politics. President Trump’s first cabinet meeting is a striking example. His picks are people he knows and trusts personally. Even better, they know each other and are good friends. The camaraderie around the table was noticeable. They were having fun!

When I first saw this prayer I assumed it was a chaplain, but it was not. It was one of the new cabinet members, Scott Turner, Secretary of HUD (U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development). What a perfect example of relational government. Please don’t underestimate the broad national awakening that is now appearing right before our eyes. President Trump’s first cabinet was pretty much chosen for him because of his inexperience in that high office. This time he has had four extra years to choose like minded leaders whom he knows and can personally trust. It is about relationships! This is true for all of us across the connections of our lives. Whether in family, business, or community think relationally, not a transaction. “What can I get out of this?” Rather: “How can I serve?”

There is one more example that I must share. When RFK Jr. ran for president his running mate Nicole Shanahan was known for her leftist stance and multi-millions of dollars. Wait till you read this account of her salvation. She had converted to Judaism 12 years ago and then found Jesus the Messiah through a direct experience with demonic evil. She now says she is a Jew for Jesus! God is bringing Jews and Gentiles together around the Messiah according to Ephesians 2.

God Is Working: Days After Trump Took Office, RFK Jr’s Running Mate Came to Know Jesus – President Donald Trump’s political ascendance has coincided with what honest future historians will characterize as another Great Awakening. Moreover, Trump’s successful 2024 campaign revealed some unexpected shining stars, none brighter or more surprising than former Democrat Nicole Shanahan.

“Therefore remember that you, once Gentiles in the flesh—who are called Uncircumcision by what is called the Circumcision made in the flesh by hands—  that at that time you were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world. But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. For He Himself is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of separation,  having abolished in His flesh the enmity, that is, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, so as to create in Himself one new man from the two, thus making peace, 16 and that He might reconcile them both to God in one body through the cross, thereby putting to death the enmity.”  Ephesians 2:11-16

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!

Miracle Discovery of Bus Bombs Today

20 02 2025

Israel has just discovered multiple bus time-bombs today! Simultaneously five different buses exploded in Israel in their parking lots at 8:30 pm Israel time, 1:30 pm Eastern time. Multiple more bombs were discovered in buses and light rail in a large area. They were on timers set to explode at 8:30 am during rush hour tomorrow. By the grace of God some were accidently programmed wrong with pm instead of am. Yehovah God is protecting Israel! This was done by Hamas inside Israel! Hamas claimed responsibility. They were based in Tulkarm in Samaria near the coast. They intended another Oct 7th killing hundreds on public transportation. Only God!

Massive attack averted: Bombs found on five buses in central IsraelMinister of Transportation Miri Regev also ordered all trains in the country to cease operations.

Today’s earlier news was the return of the Bibas’ babies and their mother in caskets. (Update: the female body was not the mother, a vile breech of the agreement.) The shameful mockery and public display on makeshift stages continues to shock the civilized world. This all must end! For those who follow my blog you will not be surprised to learn the Scripture that Israel’s IDF Rabbi spoke over them when the IDF took possession of the bodies.

‘O God, do not be silent’ | The Psalm read over the caskets of the deceased hostages – Considered an national elegy over the invasion of Israel by its neighbors, Chief Rabbi of the IDF, Brigadier General Eyal Krim read Psalm 83.

We have referenced Psalm 83 for several years as prophetically speaking of this very time of history. Notice the critical prayer request in verse 9, which refers to Gideon’s victory when God had the enemies turn and kill each other. That is still our prayer.

“Deal with them as with Midian, as with Sisera, as with Jabin at the Brook Kishon, who perished at En Dor, who became as refuse on the earth. ​​Make their nobles like Oreb and like Zeeb, ​​Yes, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna, who said, “Let us take for ourselves the pastures of God for a possession.”  Psalm 83:9-12

Also notice that the enemies goal was to steal God’s land and make it their own. However, they are destined to fail because Yehovah God has given it to Israel for an everlasting inheritance.

“And I will establish My covenant between Me and you and your descendants after you in their generations, for an everlasting covenant, to be God to you and your descendants after you. Also I give to you and your descendants after you the land in which you are a stranger, all the land of Canaan, as an everlasting possession; and I will be their God.”  Genesis 17:7-8

“Also your people shall all be righteous; They shall inherit the land forever, the branch of My planting, the work of My hands, That I may be glorified.”  Isaiah 60:21

A final observation: The other deceased hostage returned today was Oded Lifshitz, the 86 year old hostage killed over a year ago. He was a pro-Palestinian Israeli who worked to bring sick Gazan children to Israeli hospitals. It was meaningless to the Hamas cowards because he was a Jew and must die.

This is why we must pray for the peace of Jerusalem and pray Psalm 83. The enemies must ultimately be judged by God Himself! Also keep praying for rain and snow which is coming this weekend to Israel.

Personification of the Universe

13 02 2025

Our culture has a problem as we drift away from God. A new phrase has emerged with dangerous effect. More and more young people say: “The universe is against me.” or: “The universe is trying to tell me something.” Why is that a problem? It effectively sidesteps God. By removing God you lose accountability. He actually is trying to tell us something. He may be against our behavior, but He offers the ultimate answer to all our issues in the Person of His Son, Yeshua who became the lamb of God Who takes away our sins.

So, we reject the living Person of God and rather personify the universe. Here is the definition of personification: “A figure of speech in which inanimate objects or abstractions are endowed with human qualities or are represented as possessing human form” The American Heritage Dictionary

Would you believe the Bible specifically pinpoints this very problem? The philosophical term is: “the creator/creature distinction”. This is also the theological term. The Apostle Paul made this very clear in his letter to the Romans.

“who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.”  Romans 1:25

I encourage you to read the very important context of that statement, but here I want us to understand how we veer off track from God. Pagan religions usually include this false worship of the sun or moon, or animals, or even rocks, or trees, or mountains. In each case they are worshipping the creation more than the Creator. They also worship humans, either real or imagined. One more way they reject the true God of the Bible is by inventing a new self-defined god of their imagination. In all of these they reject the Creator God to worship false gods and idols. Paul says it clearly.

“For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Professing to be wise, they became fools, and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man—and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things.”  Romans 1:18-23

The universe is not a person. Yehovah God speaks to us. We would do well to listen to Him!

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem, for rain, and for victory over Israel’s enemies.

The Gaza Gambit

5 02 2025

Fun with Trump! The historic press conference with Netanyahu and Trump exploded the narrative about Gaza. Is he serious? Will the U.S, own Gaza? Let’s take a breath and remember how Trump negotiates. He always starts with an impossible bid to get attention and then they are happy to settle for a “reasonable” compromise. He gets his true goal as a result. Here are my first thoughts about the press conference.

  1. There was an overlooked nuance when Trump mentioned he would have a “position” in the ownership. That sounds like a small stake in ownership.
  2. Even if his plan fails, Israel would then assume the responsibility and finish the job.
  3. My favorite part was Bibi’s statement: “The Bible says that the people of Israel shall rise like lions and boy did we rise. Today, the roar of the lion of Judah is heard loudly throughout the Middle East.”
  4. The hidden highlight was his response to the Israeli journalist asking if he would support Israeli sovreignty over Judea and Samaria (the West Bank): “We are discussing this with many of your representatives. People like the idea, but we haven’t taken a position on it yet. There will probably be an announcement on this within the next four weeks,”

We must not view Gaza in the natural, but see it from God’s perspective. Gaza is part of Israel, period! How we get there is only the process. A Hamas spokesman had the audacity to threaten that Trump’s words “are capable of igniting the region.” Yes, Hamas was referring to Gaza and the Middle East which is fully on fire already!

How did we get here? 2008 – Operation Cast Lead. 2012 – Operation Pillar of Defense. 2014 – Operation Protective Edge. 2023 – Operation Swords of Iron. Don’t forget what Yehovah God Himself says about the fourth war with Gaza:

Thus says the Yehovah: “For three transgressions of Gaza, and for four, I will not turn away its punishment, Because they took captive the whole captivity to deliver them up to Edom.”  Amos 1:6

“I will plant them in their land, and no longer shall they be pulled up from the land I have given them,” Says the Yehovah your God.”  Amos 9:15

It stops here! God Himself will insure the punishment of Gaza.

“Surely the Lord Yehovah does nothing, Unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets. A lion has roared! Who will not fear? The Lord Yehovah has spoken! Who can but prophesy?”  Amos 3:7-8

Do any Gazans really want to leave? It is reported by Aviel Schneider of Israel Today that many Gazans have been caught on video saying: “Just open the border to Egypt, and everything else will happen on its own. Who wants to stay in Gaza? Everything is destroyed.”

After the dust settles what is the condition of that piece of real estate called Gaza? In the end, Judah shall return! Here is the view from the prophet Zephaniah who call them Cherethites” which means executioners or assassins.

“Woe to the inhabitants of the seacoast, the nation of the Cherethites! The word of Yehovah is against you, O Canaan, land of the Philistines: “I will destroy you; So there shall be no inhabitant. The seacoast shall be pastures, With shelters for shepherds and folds for flocks. The coast shall be for the remnant of the house of Judah; They shall feed their flocks there;”  Zephaniah 2:5-7b

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem, for rain, and for PM Netanyahu and President Trump.
