Egyptians Against Egyptians
1 02 2011
ISRAEL E-CARD Volume 5 Issue 3 February 1, 2011
Topic #1 The Heart of Egypt Will Melt with Fear – Isaiah 19
Egypt has entered meltdown. It cannot be reversed. There are certain prophetic events which when once started will follow through to their inevitable end. Jesus spoke of the events in play at His Second Coming as similar to the birth pangs of childbirth. They have begun all over the earth, but especially in the Middle East.
It is always about hatred of God at the bottom line. It will come back against Israel. Satan needs Egypt in his big Psalm 83 push against Israel. Their peace treaty must be broken to prepare for the destined Psalm 83 war.
Yet the plans of man and devil will melt away before the presence of Yehovah.
Like a lion, Israel crouches and lies down; like a lioness, who dares to arouse her? Blessed is everyone who blesses you, O Israel, and cursed is everyone who curses you (Numbers 24:9).
The prophecy of Isaiah 19 (below) seems to be in play now. Only two weeks ago I wrote of dominoes falling. Little did I know in my intellect what was about to break out in Egypt. When one reads the Bible and listens to the voice of God with the Holy Spirit, much is revealed. The God of Israel told Amos: Surely the Lord Yehovah does nothing, Unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets (Amos 3:7).
Topic #2 Why I say Yehovah’s Name
God’s personal name is used 6,828 times in the original Hebrew text of the Old Testament. Yet, neither Christian nor Jew uses that Name today. Our English translations insert LORD where His name should be. This has the effect of hiding the most profound revelation available to man in all history. Even Jesus said His ministry was not about Himself, but to bring us to the Father. It has been hidden away in the wisdom and judgment of God. I am on a mission from Yehovah Himself to help restore the use of His Name. When you replace the generic LORD with Yehovah in your personal study, you will never be the same. (Please visit the website His Hallowed Name Revealed Again for a scholarly background on the Name). (READ MORE)
Look! Yehovah is advancing against Egypt, riding on a swift cloud. The idols of Egypt tremble. The hearts of the Egyptians melt with fear. “I will make the Egyptians fight against each other-brother against brother, neighbor against neighbor, city against city, province against province. The Egyptians will lose heart, and I will confuse their plans. They will plead with their idols for wisdom. They will call on spirits, mediums, and psychics to show them which way to turn. I will hand Egypt over to a hard, cruel master, to a fierce king,” says the Lord, Yehovah Almighty. (Isaiah 19:1-4).

Tragedy in Tucson
10 01 2011
On January 1, I posted something I heard from the Lord. It was a warning to believers to respect one another and to “Watch Your Mouth” this year. Let us apply that word to what happened in Arizona.
The senseless murders and wounding of 20 citizens was done by an unbeliever. He was indeed demonic, in the evil spirit of the enemy of our souls, who in Jesus’ words came only “to steal, and to kill, and destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly” (John 10:10).
Having three daughters and two granddaughters, my heart broke to hear of the murder of the nine year old girl. Yet, later her mother stated that she was sure the little girl was in heaven with her grandmother whom she lost only last year. What can possibly comfort and console a normal person who loses her mother and daughter in such a short space of time? It is only Jesus, the one Who is our resurrection and life.
Believers see the tragic events of life and death in context. We love and serve the God Yehovah, the One Who created life and will raise the dead to life eternal. It is His unchangeable immutable character, revealed through His Son Jesus, that is our Rock, our faith. He is the Father Who gave up His Son to the most horrible death that we might live. Brothers and sisters, let us keep our perspective in these troubled times.
Remember the nature of our God revealed in this great verse from Ezekiel: For I have no pleasure in the death of one who dies,” says the Lord Yehovah. “Therefore turn and live! (Ezekiel 18:32).

Forgiveness…a guest post
4 01 2011
(Ken Lawrence is my brother and is my pastor. He and his wife, Mavis, presently serve River of Life Church in Sandpoint, Idaho. His thoughts on forgiveness offered here were recently published in his local newspaper. His word is a great followup to my last post: Warning To All Believers)
New Year’s resolutions, diet, and exercise plans are what many folks are thinking about as we move into a new year. Perhaps January would be a good time to purpose in our hearts that we will follow the example of the Lord Jesus Christ, who made it His practice to forgive those who wronged Him. Early in His ministry He taught His followers to turn the other cheek when they were being mistreated, and even on the cross, forgiveness was part of His declaration. It has become more apparent to me recently that many of the hurting people that I know are hurting not only because of what has been done to them, but because of their inability to forgive those who have hurt them. So often our unforgiveness hurts us more than it hurts the other person. Unforgiveness becomes like a cancer that can eat you alive.
In the Lord’s Prayer, Jesus taught us that we would be forgiven in the same way that we forgive others. It is my conviction that you can find a new freedom in your life if you will forgive those who have hurt and wronged you. I do understand that some people treat us wickedly at times, and I am not suggesting that you always must stay in a place where you can continually be hurt. For many years I have shared that another person’s problem is not our primary problem, but rather our problem is our reaction to their problem. In the days ahead, please try to make it a way of life to forgive people around you who have wronged you and you will usually experience a peace and often you will see a difference in the life of the one you have forgiven. Have a great new year and be blessed in Jesus Christ’s name.

Warning To All Believers
1 01 2011ISRAEL E-CARD Volume 5 Issue 1 January 1, 2011 
Topic #1 Word for 2011—Watch Your Mouth
This is a sharp warning for the new year. Brothers and sisters beware of disrespect for one another. We are a kingdom of priests who function only by the anointing and authority of God in Jesus, through the Holy Spirit. There is a sober lesson from Moses’ time. It has been used for years as a defense of leaders and even to support the error of exalting some leaders over the body. “Touch not Mine anointed” has been corrupted by many to defend one man. This is wrong. If we truly believe in the priesthood of all believers, then we must apply this warning both ways. Leaders should also beware of touching God’s anointed throughout the flock. We must respect one another at all times. God can speak through or use any of us at any time. (Full audio MP3 of this message from 1-7-11 now available free, here).
We are all ministers, no exceptions!
Topic #2 Obama and Syria—A Travesty
Syria holds the record for the longest run on the US “state sponsors of terrorism” list. They were on the very first list initiated in 1979 and have held their spot ever since. There are currently four countries on the list. Syria refuses to allow the IAEA (the UN’s International Atomic Energy Agency) access to its nuclear program. Syria has transferred major weapons including Scud missiles to Hezbollah in Lebanon. When the UN Tribunal issues its report In just two weeks, Syria will probably be implicated in the assassination (5 years ago) of Lebanon’s then Prime Minister Rafik Hariri. What’s wrong with this picture?
This week President Obama made a recess appointment of an Ambassador to Syria (Robert Ford). This is a major foreign policy blunder. First, it bypasses Congress with no confirmation process. Second, we had no Syrian ambassador precisely because we pulled the last one out 5 years ago due to the assassination. All Presidents make partisan recess appointments, but this one enacts new foreign policy in direct defiance of Congress. It is beyond naïve, it is dictatorial, dangerous and destructive to our national interest. Pray the new Congress sworn in next week will rise up and block this reckless path.
1 Chronicles 16:22
“Touch not Mine anointed, and do My prophets no harm.” KJV
“Do not touch My anointed ones, and do My prophets no harm.” NKJV
“Do not touch these people I have chosen, and do not hurt My prophets.” NLT (Also see: Moses & Miriam in Numbers 12)
Motor Home Project
We have now paid 6K, only 2K more to reach our first goal of 8K to take possession. Thank you for your prayers and support for Elisha Vision and for Doreen and me personally.

Miracle Rain
6 12 2010Due to the most severe forest fire in Israel’s modern history, many believers all over the world have been praying for rain. Sunday night as they were finally beginning to gain control of the fire, a wonderful heavy rain fell on northern Israel. Thank you very much, Jesus Son of God, or in Hebrew: Todah rabah, Yeshua ben Yahweh! Ask Yahweh for rain In the time of the latter rain. Yahweh will make flashing clouds; He will give them showers of rain, Grass in the field for everyone. Zechariah 10:1 Click this link for the full story in Israel Today Magazine.
The rain came last night to Mt. Carmel exactly at the time we were praying for rain in our Issachar Forum Prophetic Think Tank in Wake Forest, NC. We had been talking about Elijah and the prophets of Baal on Mt. Carmel from 1 Kings 18:21 and Elijah’s famous challenge: If Yahweh is God, follow Him: but if Baal, follow him.
In Elijah’s day it was the end of a three year drought. We pray that this fire and the rain that followed will end the current seven year Israeli drought.

WikiLeaks Helps Israel
1 12 2010
YHVH
ISRAEL E-CARD Volume 4 Issue 23 December 1, 2010
Topic #1 Israel Benefits From WikiLeaks
Big news around the globe this week is all the fallout from classified documents posted on the internet. Just about everybody comes out looking pretty bad except Israel. According to a report in Israel Today Magazine: “If anything, the leaks were positive and did not damage Israel’s image at all,” former National Security Adviser Giora Eiland told Voice of Israel radio. “There was no contradiction between what Israel has said in public and in private.” What a testament to integrity. Other countries say one thing in public and something else in private.
But above all things, my brothers, don’t swear, neither by heaven, nor by the earth, nor by any other oath; but let your yes be yes, and your no, no; so that you don’t fall into hypocrisy. James 5:12
Pray for the real peace of Jerusalem. Come Lord Jesus, come.
Topic # 2 Yahweh Explained
The personal name of the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is used 6,828 times in the Hebrew scriptures. However, in the English translations it is mistranslated as LORD (all caps) most of the time. There are many prophesies declaring that His name will be known in the last days. In Generation LAST, my newest book, I devote three chapters on the restoration of His holy name. English spellings vary between Jehovah, Yehovah and Yahweh. With the rise of the pagan god of Islam, more of the world knows that name than the God of Israel. Yahweh will have no other gods before Him. His name will be known in all the earth. For more, get my book online Books & Donations tab above.
Topic # 3 December 1 Update on Motor Home
Many thanks to those of you who are helping us with our motor home project. We have now paid $4,000. When we pay another 4K we can take possession and pay the last 4K at 500 a month for 8 months, interest free. Thank you Jesus. John 8:44
God also said, “Tell them, Yahweh, the God of your ancestors–the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob–has sent me to you.’ This will be my name forever; it has always been my name, and it will be used throughout all generations. Exodus 3:15 NLT

Others who are led by the Holy Spirit to give may do so with a check to Elisha Vision PO Box 1601 Wake Forest, NC 27588. Online please click Books and Donations on the Menu bar.
3. We had a wonderful time at the Benson Revival meetings this week. The theme was Rise & Shine, What on Earth is God Doing? There were five messages: The Rise of Israel, the Church, the name of God, Islam and the Glory of God. Blessings in Yeshua ben Yahweh, Les & Doreen
Here is Sara Jean Fisk’s report of the meetings:
Hi all,
Where do I begin?? With Yahweh… He opened a wonderful door for John, Les and Dale to preach a revival over in Benson at the Benson Pentecostal Free Will Baptist Church. Pastor Glen and Sandy and their congregation have opened their doors and their hearts to not only us, but the Holy Spirit. We have been included as family and feel like family, a kinship that only happens immediately when we are ‘echad’ (one) in Jesus. It has been such a blessing to us.
They bless us by sharing that we are a blessing to them too. Pastor Glen commented that this is a revival no one will forget. I imagine that is true as the subjects each of the brother’s chose to speak on were cutting edge information on what Yahweh is doing and saying right now. Talk about a ‘now’ word.
For us, it has been an immense opportunity to be doing kingdom work and seeing the fruit of it each night. The number of people each night have been many, which indicates they are a congregation of hungry souls for more truth. Les complemented Pastor Glenn, and rightfully so, that he is doing a great job leading and teaching his congregation for them to be so wonderfully open to the truths that John, Les and Dale have been presenting each night. They decided to offer q and a time at the end of their presentations and it made us joyful to see how many would stay after the service was dismissed for the q and a time. Some great and thought provoking questions were asked of the three brothers and seeing I am the one writing and sending this e-mail I want to tell you they did the kingdom of God proud. They are well studied, carry the scriptures on their tongues, and allow the Holy Spirit to speak through them.
I want to bless you SPC and tell you that we are soooo blessed and privileged to have these three passionate men for Yahweh in our midst each Friday night to teach us. They need our prayers more than ever as the persecution for Truth grows each day.
We miss all of you who cannot be with us in Benson but we know your prayers are with us. Tomorrow evening is the final evening which everyone is looking forward to with expectation. Les will teach on the Rise of the Glory of Yahweh and we will pray to impart that Glory at the end of the service.
As I reread this e-mail I feel I so inadequately was able to put into words just how great this week has been, but I did my best. Hope you get some idea from this e-mail.
Love to you all, Sara Jean and John

Feast of Tabernacles
15 09 2010
ISRAEL E-CARD Volume 4 Issue 18 September 15, 2010
Topic # 1 Yahweh’s Feast for the Nations
The final feast of Yahweh in Leviticus 23 is later specifically commanded for all nations in Zechariah 14:16: And it shall come to pass that everyone who is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall go up from year to year to worship the King, Yahweh of hosts, and to keep the Feast of Tabernacles.
This prophecy is fulfilled following the supernatural defeat of all the nations who come against Israel in the last days. The nations who are left are even warned (in verse 19) that they will experience drought if they fail to come up every year to the feast.
Thousands of Christians are gathering in Jerusalem this month for the glorious celebration of this great harvest feast. Yet most of Christendom is oblivious, that it points us to the Second Coming of the Messiah Yeshua when the eternal Creator God will “tabernacle” or make His dwelling with us! And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. Revelation 21:3. The greatest fulfillment of the Feast of Tabernacles is yet to come!
Topic #2 Holiness To the LORD!
Two amazing revelations are found in the end of Zechariah 14. Every pot in Jerusalem and Judah is considered holy to God. People will use them for sacrifice and for cooking.
First, I see the priesthood of all believers. All bring their own offerings before Yahweh.
Secondly, there are no clean and unclean vessels. All are clean before the Lord! It is similar to my concept of Sabbaths, where I believe every day becomes a Sabbath rest with Jesus our Savior, Shepherd, King, Husband and Friend.
In that day HOLINESS TO YAHWEH shall be engraved on the bells of the horses. The pots in Yahweh’s house shall be like the bowls before the altar. Yes, every pot in Jerusalem and Judah shall be holiness to Yahweh of hosts. Everyone who sacrifices shall come and take them and cook in them. In that day there shall no longer be a Canaanite in the house of Yahweh of hosts. Zechariah 14:20-21

Wars and Rumors of Wars
15 08 2010ISRAEL E-CARD Volume 4 Issue 16 August 15, 2010
Topic # 1 Is The Sky Falling?
And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. Matthew 24:6
There is a tendency for prophecy buffs to want to put all of the last days prophecies into the same short time frame. However, this warning of Jesus informs us that even with wars multiplying the end is not quite at hand. There are multiple events between now and then.
We have predicted the Psalm 83 War to occur this summer, which still seems very possible. Yet, Israel’s closest neighbors are listed in that Psalm, while a completely different group is listed in Ezekiel 38-39. We conclude that these are two separate and distinct wars yet to come. It is sort of like an inner and outer beltline of a city. It looks to me like the first group has ceased to exist and the outer group steps up in Ezekiel. There is another very interesting observation. The inner country group is Arab Muslims, but the outer group is non-Arab Muslims.
Either way, Jesus says don’t be troubled, because the wars must happen before the end. So, fasten your seat belt as we approach these prophetic crossroads.
Topic #2 Deadline This Week for Israel’s Iran Attack
Former UN Ambassador John Bolton predicted on Fox News Friday that Israel would have to attack Iran by August 21 because Russia’s is about to fire up Iran’s first nuclear reactor. Once the fuel rods are loaded, “it makes it essentially immune from attack by Israel. Because once the rods are in the reactor an attack on the reactor risks spreading radiation in the air, and perhaps into the water of the Persian Gulf.” (Newsmax)
Also looming is the deadline for the peace talks which are doomed to fail on Palestinian preconditions threatening Israel’s very existence and must therefore always be rejected.
Now as He sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?” And Jesus answered and said to them: “Take heed that no one deceives you. “For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many. “And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. Matthew 24:3-6

Can You See Forever?
13 08 2010What is your worldview? Secular humanist? Biblical? How about Prophetic?
Where do you live? Is eternity in view in your daily life? To borrow a phrase, “I can see eternity from my house.” I have a prophetic worldview, which is to see eternity in current events.
“Only one life ‘twill soon be past,
Only what’s done for Christ will last!”
Pastor Earl Waterman, a beloved mentor, said to me over 40 years ago, “If you can possibly take the Bible literally, do so.” I do! The Bible is a window into the actual future world.
I reached a milestone of 65 years old this year. Key mentors to me were my Dad, Weldon Lawrence, and also Derek Prince, Earl Waterman, and Arthur Burt, who all lived to the ages of 90-100. Brother Arthur is still ministering at 98. So, on that scale, I am looking at one third of my life ahead.
However, my literal prophetic view suggests that Jesus will come back sooner than that timetable. That is why I wrote Generation LAST, which is Biblical evidence for the imminent end of this age, and the glorious appearing of Yeshua ben Yahweh, Jesus, Son of God!
Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, spend a year there, buy and sell, and make a profit”; whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away. Instead you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we shall live and do this or that.” James 4:13-15
What does this mean for our daily lives? Facing the sober reality of human mortality is totally changed for the believer. Look how dismal this existence must be for a secularist. No hope. No future. No purpose. They see fear, death, disease, poverty, injustice and hopelessness. Believers have a future and a hope. We have a transcendent eternal purpose! God has work for us to do for Him. “I must be about my Father’s business.” My view has changed. This really is the last generation. There is much to accomplish, much to proclaim. There are many to warn of “the wrath to come”. It is serious, but it is also exciting. What a day to be alive! What a day to serve our God!
“This is the day the LORD has made.
Let us rejoice and be glad in it.”
Psalm 118:24

Jerusalem: Best City
15 07 2010ISRAEL E-CARD Volume 4 Issue 14 July 15, 2010
Topic # 1 Jerusalem Best in Africa and Middle East
Travel and Leisure magazine has declared Jerusalem the number one city to visit in the Middle East and Africa for the summer and fall vacation seasons.
Cape Town, South Africa placed number two on the list of 10, and Tel Aviv came in third place.
The list was compiled based on a survey of readers who had recently visited the region. They ranked cities according to enjoyment of sights, culture and arts, dining, attitude of local residents, shopping and overall value.
From January to July of this year, Israel has seen a record number of tourists. Well over 1.5 million people have visited Israel during the first half of the year, and the numbers are expected to grow as the biblical High Holy Days approach. (Israel Today Magazine—www.israeltoday.co.il.)
Topic #2 Abbas Is a Deceiver X3 
Three headlines in ten days illustrate the duplicity of the Palestinian “Peace Partner”.
Abbas honors Hezbollah spiritual leader PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas and Fatah have honored Muhammad Hussein Fadlallah, who was on the U.S. list of wanted terrorists.
Mahmoud Abbas: “If all of you [Arab States] will fight Israel, we are in favor. Palestinians will not fight alone because they don’t have the ability.”
Abbas honors mastermind of Munich Olympics massacre. PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas has praised the mastermind of the murders of 11 Israeli athletes in the 1972 Munich Olympics as “a wonderful brother, companion, tough and stubborn, relentless fighter.” (Please visit Palestinian Media Watch to read each article at www.palwatch.org).
Arise, Jerusalem! Let your light shine for all the nations to see! For the glory of Yahweh is shining upon you. Darkness as black as night will cover all the nations of the earth, but the glory of Yahweh will shine over you. All nations will come to your light. Mighty kings will come to see your radiance.… Your gates will stay open around the clock to receive the wealth of many lands. The kings of the world will be led as captives in a victory procession.

WWJD OR WWMD?
1 07 2010ISRAEL E-CARD Volume 4 Issue 13 July 1, 2010
Topic # 1 Quite The Contrast 
The Christian classic In His Steps by Charles Sheldon asked “What would Jesus do?” The age of the acronym reduced it to WWJD. What if you used the same concept with Mohammed? How do the two founders of their faiths compare in their conduct? The founder of Islam is known for multiple wives, child brides, bloody warfare, lying and stealing. None of these charges can be attributed to Jesus. My friend John Fisk makes the salient point that if you follow the religious ideology of Islam you can be just like its founder. In fact, the better Muslim you are, the more you would be like him. I prefer to follow the example of Jesus.
It is also interesting that the acronym for “what would Mohammed do?” includes WMD, famously used for weapons of mass destruction. I believe this applies to Islam on several levels, most seriously the eternal judgment of those who deny the fatherhood of Yahweh and sonship of Yashua (Jesus).
Finally, the better question is not what would Jesus do? But what did He do? He did not live for His own will, but the will of the Father. He did nothing of His own initiative, as John’s Gospel declares, but He always asked the Father what to say and do. Then Jesus answered and said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees the Father do; for whatever He does, the Son also does in like manner.” John 5:19
Topic #2 IAF Landed At Saudi Base
The Israeli Air Force recently unloaded military equipment at a Saudi Arabian base, an Iranian news agency claimed last week, while a large American force has massed in Azerbaijan, which is on the northwest border of Iran. The report follows the Pentagon’s confirmation that a large American fleet sailed through the Suez Canal earlier this month, with an Israeli ship joining the armada. (IsraelNationalNews.com)
FATHER and SON
Who has ascended into heaven, or descended? Who has gathered the wind in His fists? Who has bound the waters in a garment? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is His name, and what is His Son’s name, If you know? Proverbs 30:4
Who is a liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist who denies the Father and the Son. Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father either; he who acknowledges the Son has the Father also. 1 John 2:22-23

Justice Reversed
15 05 2010ISRAEL E-CARD Volume 4 Issue 10 May 15, 2010
Topic # 1 Justice Is Turned Backwards
Which way goes justice? This is a word that is being twisted like a pretzel. How can such an important concept be so popular and yet so perverted. Isaiah 59 speaks of the last days when justice will be perverted 180 degrees. One glaring example is the world condemning Israel for issuing building permits in its capital city while ignoring the regular practice by the Palestinian Authority to name streets and stadiums after suicide bombers who murdered innocent children.
This is Yahweh’s response: He was amazed to see that no one intervened to help the oppressed. So he himself stepped in to save them with his mighty power and justice He put on righteousness as his body armor and placed the helmet of salvation on his head. He clothed himself with the robes of vengeance and godly fury. He will repay his enemies for their evil deeds. His fury will fall on his foes in distant lands. Then at last they will respect and glorify the name of Yahweh throughout the world. For he will come like a flood tide driven by the breath of Yahweh. Isaiah 59:16-19.
The good news is revealed in Isaiah 60 when God puts His glory on His people. It is time to arise and shine!
Topic #2 I Am Not Making This Up
The United Nations has just voted Libya onto the UN Human Rights Council. The country with one of the worst human rights records is now policing the rest. This is “the fox guarding the chickens.” In a secret ballot, 155 countries voted for Libya, which was 58 more votes than needed. This is the UN council that has passed 40 censure resolutions since its founding. Of these, 33 were directed against Israel. This is why I am talking about perverted justice. Isaiah prophesied of these last days: Our courts oppose people who are righteous, and justice is nowhere to be found. Truth falls dead in the streets, and fairness has been outlawed.Truth falls dead in the streets, and fairness has been outlawed. Yes, truth is gone, and anyone who tries to live a godly life is soon attacked. Yahweh looked and was displeased to find that there was no justice. Isaiah 59:14-15

Friends Don’t Demand
1 05 2010ISRAEL E-CARD Volume 4 Issue 9 May 1, 2010
Topic # 1 Obama Demands Israeli Concessions
Israel and America have been friends for 62 years and today we demand Israel fall in line with the Obama agenda. This is not right. Here’s his list before negotiations:
1. Israel scale back security checkpoints to the level during the intifada when suicide bombers freely entered.
2. Israel release 2,000 Palestinian prisoners.
3. Israel allow material into Gaza which will then be used for bombs.
4. Israel turn over entire cities to the Palestinian Authority.
5. Israel give a part of Jerusalem (Abu Dis) to the PA.
Here is the Obama list of demands for Palestinians:
1. Show up.
2.
3.
4.
5.
These demands on Israel are called “confidence building measures”, to convince Palestinians that Israel is serious about wanting peace. Would somebody explain why the total destruction of Israel as a state is still in the Palestinian Charter? For the record, it is also in the stated purpose of Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran, Syria, and other “neighbors”.
Topic #2 E-Card Delay
Please accept my apology for the delay of this issue. I had a software glitch. We had a wonderful New England ministry trip and are now catching up on “home” work. Thank you for your prayers and encouragement.
“Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of drunkenness to all the surrounding peoples, when they lay siege against Judah and Jerusalem. And it shall happen in that day that I will make Jerusalem a very heavy stone for all peoples; all who would heave it away will surely be cut in pieces, though all nations of the earth are gathered against it.” Zechariah 12:2-3

Spring New England #2
22 04 2010We have been so blessed to minister under an open heaven here. The principality that has blocked God’s vision has been removed. We have had multiple Divine appointments. Today we had lunch and significant connection with Pastor Scott of Pinnacle Mountain Bridge Church in remote New Hampshire. Yesterday we had the privilege of meeting George and Linda West of Newbury who have just opened a beautiful Bed & Breakfast. Check it out if you are in the area. 
We have now spoken 12+ times. We have much to share of Yahweh’s purpose. We will be heading home after this next weekend. Thank you for your prayers.

The Ban On Baals
15 04 2010ISRAEL E-CARD Volume 4 Issue 8 April 15, 2010
Topic # 1 Make No Mention of Other Gods
Most Christians are woefully ignorant of the Biblical prohibitions against saying the names of other gods. We are called to restore the name of Yahweh, God of Israel and the Bible. The rise of Islam and other pagan religions has most Americans confused. Our last two presidents say we all worship the same god. How wrong! What part of “You shall have no other gods before Me!” don’t we get?
Exodus 23:13 And in all that I have said to you, be circumspect and make no mention of the name of other gods, nor let it be heard from your mouth.
Joshua 23:7 and lest you go among these nations, these who remain among you. You shall not make mention of the name of their gods, nor cause anyone to swear by them; you shall not serve them nor bow down to them, but you shall hold fast to Yahweh your God, as you have done to this day.
Psalm 16:4 Their sorrows shall be multiplied who hasten after another god; Their drink offerings of blood I will not offer, Nor take up their names on my lips.
Hosea 2:17 For I will take from her mouth the names of the Baals, And they shall be remembered by their name no more.
Contrast with Psalm 83:4 They have said, “Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation, That the name of Israel may be remembered no more.”
Topic #2 Jordan Flipping
King Abdullah of Jordan has joined the Arab world’s saber-rattling against Israel and warned that the status of Jerusalem could explode into another war: Our relationship with Israel is at an all-bottom low. It hasn’t been as bad as it is today. Abdullah added Jordan’s relationship with Syria is probably the best it’s ever been. (INN) Ps. 83 here we come!
Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “I do not do this for your sake, O house of Israel, but for My holy name’s sake, which you have profaned among the nations wherever you went. And I will sanctify My great name, which has been profaned among the nations, which you have profaned in their midst; and the nations shall know that I am Yahweh,” says the Lord Yahweh, “when I am hallowed in you before their eyes.” Ezekiel 36:22-23

The Obama Intifada
1 04 2010ISRAEL E-CARD Volume 4 Issue 7 April 1, 2010
Topic # 1 Making Mountains Out of Molehills
The ridiculous international incident concocted by President Obama over legal building permits in Jerusalem, is well documented. The result is a new Palestinian uprising or intifada that some are calling the Obama Intifada, assigning the blame on him as the instigator.
The descendants of Ishmael currently occupy at least 800 times more land than descendants of Isaac. The 21 states of the Arab League routinely announce plans of building expansion. In Saudi Arabia alone, 555,000 housing units were built over the past several years. Ruth R. Wisse.
All nations ruled by Islam are, by definition, apartheid. All non-Muslims are segregated as second class citizens. Freedom of religion and speech is outlawed by Sharia law. Israel represents the antithesis of apartheid. James M. Hutchens-both quotes from: The Jerusalem Connection.
Topic #2 $12 Billion to PA—Where Did It Go?
Dr. Ghania Malhis, chair of the Economic Policy Research Institute in Ramallah, addressed the UN’s Seminar on Assistance to the Palestinians last week. She estimated foreign countries had donated a total of $12 billion to the PA since 1995. That figure did not include billions of dollars in aid provided by international aid groups such as UNRWA. Aid to the PA is increasing steadily. It received an average of one billion dollars a year between 2001 and 2005, $1.5 billion in 2007, $1.8 billion in 2009, and an estimated $2 billion is anticipated in 2010. And yet, Malhis said, after such enormous sums, the GDP is 13% lower than it was in 1999, and GDP per capita is down by 30%. “The Palestinian Authority has failed to address allegations of misuse of funds, power and mismanagement as well as a lack of accountability and transparency,” (INN) The leech has two daughters. ‘Give! Give!’ they cry. Proverbs 30:15 (JNN News).
They will call Jerusalem The Throne of Yahweh and all nations will gather in Jerusalem to honor the name of Yahweh” … “Yahweh
Almighty will shield Jerusalem; he will shield it and deliver it, he will pass over it and will rescue it.” … “If I forget you, O Jerusalem, may my right hand forget its skill. May my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth if I do not remember you, if I do not consider Jerusalem my highest joy. Jeremiah 3:17; Isaiah 31:5; Ps. 137:5-6

Newest Press Release
1 03 2010Christian Zionist Predicts Psalm 83 War This Summer
The author of a new book, Generation Last, is predicting that the long prophesied Psalm 83 War between Israel and several of its neighboring countries will take place this summer.
Sandpoint, ID (PRWEB) March 1, 2010 — Les Lawrence, the author of a new book, Generation Last, says the seismic plates are shifting in the Middle East. “No peace plan,” he writes, “can touch the spiritual dimensions of the coming earthquake.”
In his blog, (www.elishavision.wordpress.com) Lawrence shows how several events currently taking place point to a likelihood of a small regional war occurring between Israel and its neighbors this summer.
Vadim Mikhaliov, site administrator for Debkafile (www.debka.com) posted two exclusive reports in February that corroborate the possibility of Lawrence’s suggestion.
Now in its tenth year on the Internet, DEBKAfile provides intelligence and security-related breaking news and analysis on world events.
The first report quotes Syria’s Foreign Minister, Walid Maullem, in Damascus as warning the Israelis against testing Syrian power, “since you know the war will move into your cities.”
The report alludes to possible preparations for attacks on Iran by both US and Israeli naval forces in the Persian Gulf.
The second DEBKAfile report quotes Israelis Foreign Minister, Avigdor Lieberman saying Syria’s President Assad “must be told bluntly that in the next war, not only will Syria be beaten but he and his family will lose power.”
In an unrelated article dated February 11,2010, internationally acclaimed Reuters (www.reuters.com/article/idUSDAH12274820100211) reported Iran’s President Ahmadinejad warning Israel that if the Zionist state continues to make mistakes and initiates a military offensive, “it must be resisted with full force to put an end to it once and for all.”
Lawrence, in his book, writes that Psalm 83 clearly prophesies a war between Israel and all its adjacent countries with the one exception of Egypt. Currently, Egypt and Jordan both have peace treaties with Israel.
However Lawrence explained in a telephone interview that “Jordan’s relationship with Israel could quickly turn negative. If Jordan politics change and Jordan joins the Iranian/Syrian camp, we could see a war matching the Biblical descriptions in Psalm 83 this summer.”
He said that some 70% of Jordan is Palestinian. Such a majority could easily influence or overwhelm and depose the ruling Jordanian family of King Abdullah.
Lawrence observed, “The sabers of an impending war are clashing.” In his book, Lawrence shows how Psalm 83 could very well be a prophecy for these times, noting that the countries named in the Psalm are the same countries existing today under formerly different national names.
This is important to note, he added, because “Psalm 83 describes a smaller regional war with Israel that precedes the epic final battles of the Apocalypse.”

Trilateral Terror
1 03 2010ISRAEL E-CARD Volume 4 Issue 5 March 1, 2010
Topic # 1 Trilateral Plotting In Damascus and Tehran
In the last few days there have been two secret meetings of the top leaders of Iran, Syria, Hezbollah (Lebanon) and Hamas (Gaza). The first was in Damascus Thursday and Saturday through today in Tehran. Serious planning is setting up a major conflict with Israel. Please link to Debka.com for the latest intelligence.
Ahmadinejad called for a Middle East without Zionists and also predicted Israel’s “demise and annihilation”. To fill out the roster of Psalm 83 nations who attack Israel without Egypt, we now see Jordan’s King Abdullah making stronger and more belligerent condemnations of Israel.
We pray with Asaph: Let them be confounded and dismayed forever; Yes, let them be put to shame and perish, That they may know that You, whose name alone is YAHWEH, Are the Most High over all the earth. Psalm 83:17-18.
The name of Yahweh in the land! Jer. 7:12
Topic #2 Yahweh Answers Prayers For Rain
“A weekend of heavy rain across Israel brought the Sea of Galilee, Israel’s main fresh water reservoir, up above its “red line” for the first time in over a year. Together with the rest of the winter rainfall, and the expected runoff from the snow accumulated on Mt. Hermon, the Sea of Galilee is now safely above the red line,” (Israel Today 3-3-10).
We give thanks to God for His response to the call for prayer, fasting and repentance by the Chief Sephardic Rabbi of Jerusalem in January. We will not be as the man who prayed for a parking space at a busy mall, who upon spotting a space said: “Never mind Lord I found one.” The great news is that much of Israel has exceeded its annual rainfall just since the middle of January. Praise Yahweh and Yeshua! Then Elijah said to Ahab, “Go and enjoy a good meal! For I hear a mighty rainstorm coming!” 1 Kings 18:41
Everyone is dull-hearted, without knowledge; Every metal smith is put to shame by the carved image; For his molded image is falsehood, And there is no breath in them. They are futile, a work of errors; In the time of their punishment they shall perish. The Portion of Jacob is not like them, For He is the Maker of all things; And Israel is the tribe of His inheritance. YAHWEH of hosts is His name. “You are My battle-ax and weapons of war: For with you I will break the nation in pieces; With you I will destroy kingdoms. Jeremiah 51:17-20

Hebron Clashes on Hallowed Ground
26 02 2010When Did the West Bank Stop Being “Disputed Territory”?
Protests and escalating violence mark the Muslim response to Israeli PM Netanyahu nominating, for national heritage honors, two sites in ancient Judah (now called the West Bank by the world).
The national heritage sites registry designation is only a formality. Hebron has always been on “the list” of Jewish hallowed ground as the tomb of the Patriarchs, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the very founders of Judaism.
Since the United Nations voted to allow the Israeli State to be established in 1948, the Arabs have disputed Israel’s right to exist. The UN designated ALL of the land from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean as Israel.
After several major wars between the parties, the land remains in dispute. In spite of all the peace talks, nothing has actually been legally decided. Yet, most world governments and media consider it a fait accompli that a Palestinian state will be carved out of this UN authorized Israeli land area. They behave as if the dispute is over, but Israel and Christian Zionists beg to differ.
Myopic historians neglect to remind us that the 1948 borders were the result of the first two state solution. The original British Mandate of 1917 was to give Israel three times the land area they eventually received. The Kingdom of Jordan was created to award the Arabs 78% of the original Mandate. This was intended to placate the Arabs who had conducted two intifadas before World War II.
Now, emboldened by the rise of Islam, the Palestinian Muslims demand another two state solution to divide Israel again. All subterfuge is gone. It is not about creating yet another Arab state, it is to eliminate Israel’s existence. Ignoring the irrelevant “Muslim silent majority”, those with the guns and missiles and power publicly call for Israel to be destroyed. This includes Iran, Hamas, Hezbollah and others of Israel’s neighbors.
However, far above all the political bickering, there is a God in Heaven, named Yahweh, who calls the area His land, and He has a very clear position on this “disputed territory. His declaration is recorded by the Bible prophet Joel:
I will also gather all nations, And bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat; And I will enter into judgment with them there On account of My people, My heritage Israel, Whom they have scattered among the nations; They have also divided up My land. (Joel 3:2)

Idaho #2
13 02 2010
When people talk about God’s country, this picture of Sandpoint, Idaho comes to mind.
Today I teach a seminar session at the Sports and Outdoor Expo at the fairgrounds here in Sandpoint. The subject is Islam: Religion or Ideology? My bookmark “Quick Guide To Islam” is the outline. America needs to face the contrasts between our Judeo/Christian heritage and Islam, which worships a different god than the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. We are in the “Generation LAST“. Wake up!
This Sunday I speak at 10:30am at River of Life Church. Next Sunday I will be at the Cowboy Church in Sagle at 10am. During the week I have several meetings scheduled with pastors and marketplace ministers, plus one or two evening church meetings. Please continue to pray. Thanks.
Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints–and for me, that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel. Ephesians 6:18-19
