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 Israel – Minister 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.

The Cost of Wickedness in Government

30 01 2025

Government corruption is a moral problem. It stems from the unrepentant heart of wicked men. The only remedy is to remove them from access to power. This is first a Biblical concept. There is a great example in the book of Proverbs using the process of purifying silver. In its natural state silver has impurities that cancel it value. These impurities are called “dross.” Silver has to be heated to at least 1,640 degrees in order to remove the impurities (dross). 

“Take away the dross from silver, and it will go to the silversmith for jewelry.”  Proverbs 25:4

Who knew the Bible understood silver smelting for jewelry? Yet the next verse is a direct extension of the analogy. It reveals that the wisdom of Solomon is not for jewelry but for the government of his kingdom. He gives us the answer for corruption in government. Remove the wicked corrupt people!

“Take away the wicked from before the king, and his throne will be established in righteousness. “Proverbs 25:5
 
​”For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to evil. Do you want to be unafraid of the authority? Do what is good, and you will have praise from the same. For he is God’s minister to you for good. But if you do evil, be afraid; for he does not bear the sword in vain; for he is God’s minister, an avenger to execute wrath on him who practices evil.”  Romans 13:3-4

Whatever you think about the second Trump presidency, he is certainly following the wisdom of Solomon in Proverbs. It is our responsibility as citizens to stand with him in that goal. Amazing corruption is being uncovered at this time and he is “removing the dross.” We should pray for righteousness to be established in our government. This applies to Israel as well, if not more so. I believe Yehovah God has raised up both Trump and Netanyahu, not because they are pure, but because they are purifiers. Pray for them!

“For nothing is secret that will not be revealed, nor anything hidden that will not be known and come to light.”  Luke 8:17

“For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God.”  John 3:20-21

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem and pray for the United States of America!

“This is That!” Ancient Bible Prophecy

23 01 2025

The exciting thing about living in the end times is the rapid fulfillment of ancient prophesies. When Peter observed the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on Pentecost he declared: “But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel;” Acts 2:16 KJV Jesus used that phrase about Himself as the bread of life as the fulfillment of the manna from heaven during the Exodus: “This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever.” John 6:58 KJV         

Yet there are many more such fulfillments. This past year in my travels I emphasized several more ancient “This is that” prophecies that are being fulfilled in our day.

  1. Psalm 102 describes the Holocaust and then plainly says: “You will arise and have mercy on Zion;
    For the time to favor her, Yes, the set time, has come.” Psalm 102:13 NKJV In 1948 Israel was miraculously reborn. This is that spoken by the Psalm.
  2. Psalm 83 describes the Arab nations bordering Israel that attacked from 1948 on, fulfilling the Psalm.  “Deal with them as with Midian, As with Sisera, As with Jabin at the Brook Kishon,” Just as with Gideon and the Midianites,” Psalm 83:9 NKJV God caused the Arabs to fight against one another. We see this era ending with the Abraham Accords. This is that spoken by the Psalm.
  3. Amos 1:6 speaks of the present Gaza war, which is Israel fourth war with Hamas. “Thus says 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. But I will send a fire upon the wall of Gaza, Which shall devour its palaces.” Amos 1:6-7 NKJV  This is that fourth time when Hamas in Gaza is defeated!
  4. Two more are still to come! Isaiah 17 speaks of the destruction of Damascus which has never happened in history. But it is closer than ever with the fall of the Syrian dictator Assad. “The burden against Damascus. “Behold, Damascus will cease from being a city, And it will be a ruinous heap.” Isaiah 17:1 NKJV When we see this happen, we will say this is that spoken by Isaiah!
  5. Isaiah 19 describes a time of peace with a highway connecting Syria, Israel, and Egypt. “In that day there will be a highway from Egypt to Assyria, and the Assyrian will come into Egypt and the Egyptian into Assyria, and the Egyptians will serve with the Assyrians.” Isaiah 19:23 NKJV  This is that spoken by the Psalm. We are indeed living in exciting times of Biblical fulfillment, showing again that Yehovah God keeps His word. Every single promised word will come to pass! Hallelujah!

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem, the hostages, the Prime Minister, and for rain in the land of Israel.

Ceasefire Contradictions! Grab the Popcorn

16 01 2025

Hope is rising with the ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas. I pray the hostages will indeed be released. However, there are serious downsides as well. Hamas has never kept their word to this point. One should never pay ransom to terrorists, it only incentivizes more hostage taking and terror. Here is a quote from a well respected Israeli columnist, Hillel Fuld, a proud Zionist. (Remember that a Zionist is simply a person who believes that God gave the land of Israel to the Jews.)

“If this deal goes through, the very same people who have been yelling genocide for the past year and talking about how Israel killed so many people and caused so much damage, are the same people who are going to be yelling victory. 
 
So which one is it? Did we commit genocide or did you win? Can’t be both. 
But here’s the thing. This isn’t their first contradiction of their own story. 
 
– The hostages are fed well and there is no food in Gaza. Which one is it?
– Gaza was an open air prison and Gaza was paradise before 10/7. Which one is it? 
– The Holocaust never happened and Hitler was right. Which one is it? 
– Globalize the intifada and ceasefire now. Which one is it? 
– Israel is lying about 10/7 and it was the proudest day in our history and we’ll do it over and over. Which one is it? 
– From the river to the sea and two state solution. Which one is it? 
 
Here’s the thing. You don’t have to know history. You don’t even have to know anything about the conflict. All you have to do if you want to know which side is good and which side is evil is look at their own narrative. They can’t stop contradicting themselves. 
 
If there was any truth to their story, why do they keep getting caught blatantly and openly lying? Why the Palywood? Why the fake babies? Why the staged casualties? 
 
Here’s a riddle. When does the pro Palestinian activist lie? The answer: When he/she opens their mouth.  
They can’t stop lying. They can’t stop contradicting themselves. That’s what happens when your entire identity from day one is a lie. 
That’s what happens when the “Founder” of the Palestinian movement is a terrorist who was himself born in Egypt. Don’t believe me? Go read up about Arafat. 
 
The whole thing is the most elaborate lie in history. Just listen to their contradictions and you’ll know. 
Assuming, of course, that you even want to know the truth.”  (Hillel Fuld on X)
 

Remain sober minded about the stages of the ceasefire. Expect Hamas to break the agreement at any point yet pray for success. This time is different. When Hamas violates the deal Israel will be able to finish them off with the full backing of President Trump and the United States. Hamas cannot be allowed to remain and rebuild. Israel will stay in control until trustworthy leaders emerge in Gaza.

“So they will say, ‘This land that was desolate has become like the garden of Eden; and the wasted, desolate, and ruined cities are now fortified and inhabited.’ Then the nations which are left all around you shall know that I, Yehovah, have rebuilt the ruined places and planted what was desolate. I, Yehovah, have spoken it, and I will do it.Thus says the Lord Yehovah: “I will also let the house of Israel inquire of Me to do this for them: I will increase their men like a flock. Like a flock offered as holy sacrifices, like the flock at Jerusalem on its feast days, so shall the ruined cities be filled with flocks of men. Then they shall know that I amYehovah.”   Ezekiel 36:35-38

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Pray for rain for the land. Pray for truth and righteousness.

A Time for Seeking

9 01 2025

We are living in a time of great transition. Wildfires, wars, terrorism, and political upheaval crowd the headlines. Everything that can be shaken, will be shaken. We are in transition. As the world waits the inauguration of President Trump the shaking is increasing. What does it mean? What is happening? If you have ever sought God, this is the time. ls there a purpose for the shaking? Consider this.

“Now this, “Yet once more,” indicates the removal of those things that are being shaken, as of things that are made, that the things which cannot be shaken may remain. Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear.”  Hebrews 12:27-28

Things that are shakable will be removed and God’s unshakable Kingdom will remain standing. Therefore it makes sense to seek Him. Millions of believers are currently fasting and praying for mercy and blessing in this new year. Donald Trump is already changing the world scene, but he is not the Savior, as he himself has said multiple times. There is One higher that is in control. We should seek Him! Yeshua (Jesus) is our only hope. He is the Messiah, the son of Yehovah God. Seek Him!

​“Seek Yehovah while He may be found, call upon Him while He is near. ​​Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; ​​Let him return to Yehovah, and He will have mercy on him; and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon. ​​“For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways,” says Yehovah. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts.”  Isaiah 55:6-9

Let us pray for mercy for those suffering from disasters and wars. Let us pray for mercy for the political transition, especially in the United States. And as always pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Thank God for the rain and snow that has watered the land of Israel.

Ruth and the Gentile Church

3 01 2025

Stand with Israel

Now more than ever Christians need to stand with Israel for two reasons. We will be blessed according to God’s promise, and Israel will be comforted. When Ruth the Moabite chose to leave her own country and follow her mother in law Naomi to Israel, Ruth was blessed. She took her place in the genealogy of the Messiah Yeshua.

But Ruth said: “Entreat me not to leave you, or to turn back from following after you; for wherever you go, I will go; and wherever you lodge, I will lodge; Your people shall be my people, and your God, my  God. Where you die, I will die, and there will I be buried. Yehovah do so to me, and more also, if anything but death parts you and me.”  Ruth 1:16-17

This reference is engraved in our wedding rings regarding Doreen’s and my love for each other, but also our mutual covenant to stand with Israel.  – Israel’s God Yehovah is our God. – Israel’s Messiah Yeshua is our Messiah. We are part of the “one new man” as former Gentiles grafted into Israel by the Holy Spirit.

“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,”  Ephesians 2:14-15

This unified new man is the only way to world peace through the Kingdom of God and His Son, Jesus. No wonder Satan is pumping up the anti-Semitism everywhere.

I am excited to be the guest speaker at Tree of Life ministry in Garner, NC on the last two Fridays of January. Stay tuned for further details. The global church itself is divided on whether to support Israel, but there is no wavering in our house. Israel Lives!

“Comfort, yes, comfort My people!” ​​Says your God. ​​“Speak comfort to Jerusalem, and cry out to her, that her warfare is ended, that her iniquity is pardoned; for she has received from Yehovah’s hand double for all her sins.” ​​The voice of one crying in the wilderness: ​​“Prepare the way of Yehovah; make straight in the desert a highway for our God.”  Isaiah 40:1-3

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem and pray for rain and snow in His land!

Hanukkah Saved Christmas

26 12 2024

Chrismakkah

Christmas evening is the first night of Hanukkah this year, thus the cute pic. A major military victory was won by the Jewish Maccabees over the Greek occupiers 160 years before Yeshua came as a baby. That victory is still celebrated today as Hanukkah the Festival of Lights. It is also called the Feast of Dedication because the temple was rededicated after the Greeks had blasphemed the Temple Mount.

When the Israelites Revolted Against the Ancient Greeks –  “The Greek king, Antiochus IV, decided to ban the Jewish religion. He outlawed Jewish religious practices, such as the observance of the Sabbath or offering sacrifices at the temple in Jerusalem. Even owning a copy of the Jewish Scriptures ran the risk of the death penalty. Beyond this, Antiochus even made a point of desecrating the temple. He sacrificed a pig, which was a religiously unclean animal to the Jews, on the altar at the temple and set up an idol of Zeus on the holy Temple Mount. This was highly offensive to the Jews, since the temple was sacred to their god Yahweh, or Jehovah.”

If the Jews had not saved the temple Yeshua could not have fulfilled Micah’s prophecy of the Messiah. He was in the temple for His circumcision on the eighth day, His dedication at 40 days, and again when He was twelve. Of course He was there many other times through His life and ministry. That is how Hanukkah saved Christmas.

“Behold, I send My messenger, and he will prepare the way before Me. And the Lord, whom you seek, will suddenly come to His temple, even the Messenger of the covenant, in whom you delight. Behold, He is coming,” Says Yehovah of hosts.  Malachi 3:1

“Now it was the Feast of Dedication in Jerusalem, and it was winter.And Jesus walked in the temple, in Solomon’s porch.” John 10:22

One more important point connects the Festival of Lights with Jesus, the Light of the World. The miracle supply of oil for the temple menorah points to lighting the candles just as Jesus became the Light. He then shares His light with all who receive Him and follow Him.

Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.”John 8:12

“You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.”  Matthew 5:14

My wife Doreen wrote a series of four children’s books on the Feasts of Yehovah. The first is “How Hanukkah Saved Christmas.” If you would like a set please send any amount of donation with your address to: Elisha Vision Ministries PO Box 1601, Wake Forest, NC 27588. Make check payable to Elisha Vision and write “book donation” in the memo. Thanks! Your prayers and support are appreciated.

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem and pray for RAIN!

Before Gog and Magog

19 12 2024

Erdogan-tweet-1320x880-1-930x520

There is a rush to declare that the prophesied Ezekiel 38 Gog and Magog war is now happening or is imminent. With the fall of Syria a wave of excitement surged through students of Bible prophecy. However, it is premature. There are several conditions that must be met before that invasion. Certainly prophecies are being fulfilled right before our eyes, but all the players are not yet in position for that event. The danger of jumping ahead to that war is that we miss what Yehovah God is doing in the interim. Remember that are view must be informed by Scripture over political events. Here are some prerequisites that must be in place before Gog and Magog. Much more could be said about each point.

Players – Israel must be at real peace. Turkey must be out of NATO. Iran must fall and come back later. Sudan must leave the Abraham Accords, Libya must emerge as a threat. Jordan/East Bank must be more solidly with Israel. Judea and Samaria/West Bank must be at peace with no terrorists and probably annexed into Israel.

Prophecies – Egypt and Syria must join with Israel and build a highway connecting the three, Isaiah 19. Damascus must be destroyed and never be a city again, Isaiah 17. Contrast between coalition countries named in Psalm 83 and Ezekiel 38. No country in both lists.

Progress – Saudi Arabia must make peace with Israel. Abraham Accords must expand quickly. Mt. Sinai in Saudi Arabia must be recognized as the mountain of Moses and lead to huge tourism jointly with Israel Isaiah 60:6-7. Some Palestinians will emigrate to other countries, those remaining will be happy citizens of Israel. Gaza will be annexed.

Will Syria become a battleground between Turkey and Israel?

Israel fears Iranian plans to make Kingdom of Jordan its new tentacle after losing Syria

“After these things the Lord appointed seventy others also, and sent them two by two before His face into every city and place where He Himself was about to go. Then He said to them, “The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few; therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.”  Luke 10:1-2

“Do you not say, ‘There are still four months and then comes the harvest’? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are already white for harvest! And he who reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit for eternal life, that both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together.”  John 4:35-36

This last great time of peace will see a world wide awakening to the Gospel of Jesus. Pray that you can do your part in this great harvest time!

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem and pray for rain!

Simeon of Jerusalem

12 12 2024

simeon-holding-baby-jesus-against-260nw-1946368546

I have not gone up to the Temple as often since I have gotten older, but today I just had to go. There was a sound inside of me as clear as a shofar calling to worship. Even though it was shoulder to shoulder because of children’s dedication day, the Holy Spirit compelled me to go today.

I am trembling with joy and can hardly see through my tears to write down what happened. For so long I have waited to see the Messiah as we all have, but God had spoken so clearly that I would live to see Messiah myself. It was really exciting for me as a young man when He spoke that promise to me. I believed Him with all my heart.

But I must admit I sometimes doubted that promise I heard from Yehovah many years ago, especially with my advancing age, but I could not give up on it. It was so clear. He spoke to my heart that I would live to see the promised Messiah of Israel with my own eyes! After nearly four thousand years it was nearly impossible to believe that one of such minor value as me would have such an extraordinary privilege.

There had to be several hundred dedications there today, but when I came up it was like the Red Sea parted and the Holy Spirit led me right to one particular mother holding her child. They were not different from the others; I just knew they were the ones I was supposed to see. She did not know me, but somehow trusted me to hold Him in my arms.

As soon as I did, my heart was on fire. It was from the inside, but even my body was shaking as I realized instantly that we had all been wrong expecting the Messiah to be a grown man, a conquering King. This child was the Messiah! My head was spinning, but my heart was sure. This little one is the Promise! My theology fell away. It doesn’t matter how to explain it. I know.

Immediately, words came out of my mouth like I was Elijah, or Isaiah, or Zechariah. I have never known anything like I know this. I had to write this down, now, before I forget a single word. I spoke the words, but the Ruach HaKodesh, the Spirit of the Holy One, was revealing everything to me as I declared the truth! This is what I said to her and her husband, but especially to her.

“Lord, now You are letting Your servant depart in peace (shalom), according to Your word; ​​For my eyes have seen Your salvation, which You have prepared before the face of all peoples, a light to bring revelation to the Gentiles, and the glory of Your people Israel.” Luke 2:29-32

I really am ready to die now in perfect shalom. God kept His word to me! Yehovah’s salvation has come in human form! I saw Him! I don’t understand how, but He is the Messiah. He is going to be seen somehow by the whole world, not only Israel. How can it happen? I don’t know; but He will be revealed as Savior to everyone in the world and yet will glorify Israel more than ever. I stopped speaking for a moment as we sort of took it all in. The father, Joseph, and his wife, Mary, were as astounded as I was at the words I had spoken.

Then I felt led to speak a blessing over them and Mary specifically. Yet, it turned out to be more than a blessing, it was a prophecy. I am not sure I understand. But it was clearly supernatural, and I don’t question it. The Spirt seemed to indicate that unlike most nations that rise and fall and then disappear, Israel is soon to fall but will then rise again later! We were all so amazed! Also, the Child will be a sign that will create strong opposition that will personally bring pain to Mary. It is a mystery to me, but I know what I heard. There was a third effect as well. The coming revelation of this Child will expose the secret thoughts of people’s hearts! The Messiah will break through everyone’s hard heart so that nothing will be hidden from Yehovah. Here are the exact words He gave me.

“Behold, this Child is destined for the fall and rising of many in Israel, and for a sign which will be spoken against (yes, a sword will pierce through your own soul also), that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.” Luke 2:34-35

I don’t know if anyone will ever read this, but I just had to get it recorded for a testimony to the truth I saw and heard today. The Messiah has come!

Signed as my true witness, SIMEON of Jerusalem

(My interpretation of how Simeon must have felt. Les – from my Dec 2021 blog)

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!

Why God’s Borders Matter

6 12 2024

Israel River Borders

The expected fall of Syria to the jihadist rebels is a game changer regarding Biblical borders. They have taken Aleppo in the north, Hama, and have now entered Homs, on the road to Damascus. The rebels are remnants of Al Qaeda and Isis, with a few other miscellaneous bad guys thrown in. All of them hate Israel. The only one that could work with Israel is the Kurds. But the future borders of Israel are the prophetic focus. Israel has had many borders, but the most expansive definition is in Genesis when Yehovah gave Abram the “boundaries covenant.”

“On the same day Yehovah 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.”  Genesis 15:18

Notice that the Euphrates River cuts right through Syria. This civil war there seems to be changing the status quo of several borders. Although it is accelerating, it will not happen overnight, but it will happen. Israel has never yet reached those Genesis 15 borders. 

Also, we now see Isaiah 17 coming into focus. Damascus has never been totally destroyed in 5,000 years. Jerusalem has been destroyed at least eleven times and rebuilt each time. Yet, God told Isaiah that Damascus would disappear as a functioning city.

“The burden against Damascus. “Behold, Damascus will cease from being a city, and it will be a ruinous heap.”  Isaiah 17:1

If we understand the times prophetically, we can recognize Scripture being fulfilled as it is happening. No longer do we speculate about future possibilities; we see it in the present. This requires taking the Bible literally wherever possible. That is what excites me in my Bible study. Ask yourself where we are in the prophetic timeline of the Bible. What is happening now?

If we take Genesis 15 literally, we see the ultimate reality of Israel’s borders as a baseline. So, when we see the developments in Syria and Lebanon, and even Gaza, we see God’s ancient covenant promise coming true in the present day.

I have said before, God is not a globalist, He is a nationalist. He establishes the nations throughout history and even defines their borders. Therefore, we take literally His promises for Israel’s borders.

“And He has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined their preappointed times and the boundaries of their dwellings,”  Acts 17:26

Read the news with understanding of the times from God’s perspective. It will give you insight, but more importantly peace, knowing that Yehovah is working from an eternal plan to accomplish His purpose in the nations and peoples of the earth. May His almighty will be done!

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!

Happy THANKS giving!

27 11 2024

Abraham Lincoln - Commander in Chief_0

Who do you thank this week? Thanksgiving is about thanking God for His goodness. Here is a suggestion for your family meal. Read Abraham Lincoln’s Thanksgiving Proclamation during the civil war, and then take turns thanking God for all He has done for you personally.

Washington DC, October 3, 1863 – Proclamation By the President of the United States of America.

The year that is drawing towards its close, has been filled with the blessings of fruitful fields and healthful skies. To these bounties, which are so constantly enjoyed that we are prone to forget the source from which they come, others have been added, which are of so extraordinary a nature, that they cannot fail to penetrate and soften even the heart which is habitually insensible to the ever watchful providence of Almighty God.

In the midst of a civil war of unequalled magnitude and severity, which has sometimes seemed to foreign States to invite and to provoke their aggression, peace has been preserved with all nations, order has been maintained, the laws have been respected and obeyed, and harmony has prevailed everywhere except in the theatre of military conflict; while that theatre has been greatly contracted by the advancing armies and navies of the Union.

Needful diversions of wealth and of strength from the fields of peaceful industry to the national defence, have not arrested the plough, the shuttle or the ship; the axe has enlarged the borders of our settlements, and the mines, as well of iron and coal as of the precious metals, have yielded even more abundantly than heretofore. Population has steadily increased, notwithstanding the waste that has been made in the camp, the siege and the battle-field; and the country, rejoicing in the consciousness of augmented strength and vigor, is permitted to expect continuance of years with large increase of freedom.

No human counsel hath devised nor hath any mortal hand worked out these great things. They are the gracious gifts of the Most High God, who, while dealing with us in anger for our sins, hath nevertheless remembered mercy.

It has seemed to me fit and proper that they should be solemnly, reverently and gratefully acknowledged as with one heart and one voice by the whole American People. I do therefore invite my fellow citizens in every part of the United States, and also those who are at sea and those who are sojourning in foreign lands, to set apart and observe the last Thursday of November next, as a day of Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the Heavens. And I recommend to them that while offering up the ascriptions justly due to Him for such singular deliverances and blessings, they do also, with humble penitence for our national perverseness and disobedience, commend to His tender care all those who have become widows, orphans, mourners or sufferers in the lamentable civil strife in which we are unavoidably engaged, and fervently implore the interposition of the Almighty Hand to heal the wounds of the nation and to restore it as soon as may be consistent with the Divine purposes to the full enjoyment of peace, harmony, tranquility and Union.

In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Seal of the United States to be affixed.

Done at the City of Washington, this Third day of October, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty-three, and of the Independence of the United States the Eighty-eighth.

By the President: Abraham Lincoln – William H. Seward, Secretary of State

Michael Masambu left us with a good outline of Psalm 100. Thank God for His goodness. Praise Him for His greatness. Worship Him for His holiness!

“Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, and bless His name. For Yehovah is good; His mercy is everlasting, and His truth endures to all generations.”  Psalm 100:4-5

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem and pray that the ceasefire in Lebanon will be used by God to fulfill His plan.

WHO is at the Top of Jacob’s Ladder?

21 11 2024

Jacobs ladder

There is a Person at the top of Jacob’s ladder who makes all the difference today in the Middle East and the world. Jacob’s dream is about 2025. This dream was a stand alone monumental declaration to Jacob and his descendants. This is not the time he wrestled with the angel. This dream was a unique visitation for one profound purpose. Yehovah confirmed and extended His promise given to Abraham and Isaac.

“As he slept, he dreamed of a stairway that reached from the earth up to heaven. And he saw the angels of God going up and down the stairway. At the top of the stairway stood YEHOVAH, and he said, “I am Yehovah, the God of your grandfather Abraham, and the God of your father, Isaac. The ground you are lying on belongs to you. I am giving it to you and your descendants. Your descendants will be as numerous as the dust of the earth! They will spread out in all directions—to the west and the east, to the north and the south. And all the families of the earth will be blessed through you and your descendants. What’s more, I am with you, and I will protect you wherever you go. One day I will bring you back to this land. I will not leave you until I have finished giving you everything I have promised you.”  Genesis 28:12-15

Yehovah God was at the top of the stairs! He confirmed the promise in seven parts.

  1. The GROUND BELONGS to YOU!
  2. You will have multitudes of descendants in all directions.
  3. ALL the families of the earth blessed through you!
  4. I am with you.
  5. I will protect you.
  6. I will bring you back to THIS LAND.
  7. I will give you EVERYTHING I have PROMISED you.

We are living in the precise fulfillment of His promise as we rejoice in the restoration of Israel to their land, piece by piece, winning it city by city just as in Joshua’s day. This applies to Gaza, Judea and Samaria (West Bank), and to portions of Lebanon and Syria. Once again we see the faithfulness of God. His words are true because He is Truth! His words and character agree. Hallelujah!

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem and promises kept!

Will Israel Annex West Bank?

14 11 2024

Huckabee and Bibi

(Greetings from my ministry trip in Sandpoint, Idaho – speaking Friday 7pm at River of Life and Sunday 10am at New Life Church)

Judea and Samaria, also called West Bank, may soon be added to Israel sovreignty. The election of Donald Trump has completely upended the status quo in Israel. A new day is dawning. Look for Saudi Arabia to join the Abraham Accords soon after January 20. Of course we know the Bible has clearly included Judea and Samaria in Israel since ancient times. They were part of the original allotment of the tribes of Israel under Joshua. (See Joshua Chapters 13-20.)

“These are the areas which the children of Israel inherited in the land of Canaan, which Eleazar the priest, Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel distributed as an inheritance to them. Their inheritance was by lot, as Yehovah had commanded by the hand of Moses,”  Joshua 14:1-2

Already, strong statements have been made since the election of Trump, by Prime Minister Netanyahu and Mike Huckabee. Mike is Trump’s pick as our new U.S. Ambassador to Israel. These are exciting days indeed!

Huckabee: Annexing Judea and Samaria ‘of course’ a possibility – Former Ark. Gov. Mike Huckabee, who boasts an impressive record of Israel support, called his appointment as an “extraordinary opportunity.” “Mike Huckabee, whom US President-elect Donald Trump nominated on Tuesday to ambassador to the Jewish state, told Israel’s Army Radio in his first interview since the announcement that “of course” the annexation of Judea and Samaria is a possibility under a second Trump White House.”

Netanyahu: ‘Annexation when Trump returns’ – The Prime Minister said recently in closed talks that after Trump’s entry into the White House, the issue of sovereignty over the Judea and Samaria areas should be revisited. His remarks join those of the remarks of Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich who said yesterday that “2025 will, God willing, be the year of sovereignty in Judea and Samaria. Smotrich also said that “the only way to remove this threat from the agenda is to apply Israeli sovereignty to the settlements in Judea and Samaria. This is our answer to Sinwar, may his name and memory be erased, and to all the Nazis along the axis from Iran, Hezbollah, Yemen to what remains of Hamas terrorists in Gaza and the terrorists in Judea and Samaria,” said Smotrich.”

We have so much to thank God for and we still have much to pray for in the next two months of transition. This is a historic opportunity for a new beginning of genuine peace in the Middle East. Thank you Jesus!

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem, victory over her enemies, and abundant rains in the land!

Trump’s Win and Israel

7 11 2024

Trump photo_2024-11-05_23-54-26

(Greetings from my ministry trip in Idaho)

What does the Trump victory mean for Israel? Most Israelis are rejoicing. His previous term was great for Israel. He moved the US Embassy to Jerusalem, recognized Jerusalem as the eternal capitol, and recognized the Golan as part of Israel. But the biggest was concluding the Abraham Accords, paving the way to peace and economic cooperation with several Arab nations. I have predicted for several months that a Trump win would lead to Saudi Arabia joining the Accords by the end of March. We will see if it happens that fast. When the Saudis join several more countries will soon follow.

I believe there will be a time of extraordinary peace for Israel after the defeat of Iran and their terror proxies very soon. If you notice the early verses of Ezekiel 38, Israel is at an amazing peace just before the Gog & Magog invasion. Verse 8 tells the timing. The attack comes after Israel is regathered from the nations. That time is now! Note the phrases in bold:

“After many days you will be visited. In the latter years you will come into the land of those brought back from the sword and gathered from many people on the mountains of Israel, which had long been desolate; they were brought out of the nations, and now all of them dwell safely.”  Ezekiel 38:8

“You will say, ‘I will go up against a land of unwalled villages; I will go to a peaceful people, who dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates.’”  Ezekiel 38:10

“Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say to Gog, ‘Thus says the Lord Yehovah: “On that day when My people Israel dwell safely, will you not know it?”  Ezekiel 38:10

Seven references in these three verses declare the degree of peace and security Israel will be enjoying at the time of that invasion. These conditions have not been true at any time since 1948,

  1. They all dwell safely.
  2. Unwalled villages.
  3. Peaceful people.
  4. Dwell safely.
  5. Without walls.
  6. Having neither bars nor gates.
  7. My people Israel dwell safely.

I believe Israel will defeat Iran and its terror proxies soon and usher in a time of peace described in the above verses. To experience such peace and security, Israel must not be threatened in any way during that season. You can understand that they cannot relax for some time even after the victory.

It follows that Israel will therefore need to take out Iran’s nuke threat. I believe that action is imminent. Hamas is virtually defeated. Hezbollah’s arsenal has been depleted by 80% according to the IDF and all the top 18 leaders have been eliminated. In addition, over 5,000 of their mid-level commanders have been removed by the genius pager and walkie talkie attacks. This all happened in the last six weeks. Israel’s victorious advantage will continue to the end with Yehovah God’s help.

Finally, the stage is set for Israel to win just as President Trump returns. He said in his acceptance speech that God had spared him from the assassination attempts for a purpose. Let us pray that he will boldly lead our nation to stand foursquare with Israel in the fulfillment of God’s eternal promises. Shalom, shalom.

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem, wisdom for their leaders, protection for the troops, and salvation for Jews and Arabs alike in the name of Yeshua ben Yehovah!

Nursing Mother Forget Her Baby?

31 10 2024

mother

This unusual question reveals a marvelous side of God that few understand. Of course a nursing mother cannot forget her child. But the analogy is about the love and character of Yehovah God. The obvious reason a mother can’t forget her nursing child is because the mother’s body is producing milk that must be released from her body to the baby. We must grasp the fact that there is something internal with God Himself that must be released in action benefiting Israel.

But Zion said, “Yehovah has forsaken me, and my Lord has forgotten me.” ​​“Can a woman forget her nursing child, and not have compassion on the son of her womb? ​​Surely they may forget, ​​Yet I will not forget you. ​​See, I have inscribed you on the palms of My hands; your walls are continually before Me.”  Isaiah 49:14-16

That is what I love about God. Deep within His own being, He will not forget Zion. Even if a mother forgets her child, He will never forget Israel. This glorious truth is now on display in the supernatural restoration, blessing, and favor of modern Israel. Yet, there is still more revealed in this passage. When He refers to inscribing them on the palms of His hands, He refers to Jesus hanging on the cross. And then we learn that the Messiah is not only for Israel’s salvation, but also for all the world to every one who will receive Him.

I must confess that I always felt my love for Him was somehow lacking. I believed but something was missing. When I read this Isaiah quote this week I was moved to tears. God loves us so much He can’t help Himself. He is faithful because He cannot deny Himself, He is inherently love in His true most basic essence. Therefore, He is faithful, unchanging, dependable, and totally trustworthy. I love that about Him! My love for Him keeps deepening and expanding with each new revelation. It is beyond what He does, beyond what He says, it is Who He is!

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem, victory over her enemies, and rain in this rainy season.

VOTE THE BIBLE!

After Israel Has Returned To Their Land

24 10 2024

Israel Relief map

Now that Hamas has been defeated, there is discussion about “the day after.” However, let us take a step back and look at the big picture. First, in Gaza, Israel will stay and insure safety and demilitarization. There is no turning back to terrorist control. It’s over. Israel won! 

But God has a master plan of regathering all the exiles of Israel from all over the earth, with a few million more to come. It is happening every day, but what about “the day after” the return and restoration? What will Israel look like then? Here are just a few of His promises after they returned, highlighted in bold from Jeremiah 31. 

“Hear the word of Yehovah, O nations, and declare it in the isles afar off, and say, ​‘​He who scattered Israel will gather him, and keep him as a shepherd does his flock.’ ​​For Yehovah has redeemed Jacob and ransomed him from the hand of one stronger than he. ​​Therefore, they shall come and sing in the height of Zion, streaming to the goodness of Yehovah. ​​For wheat and new wine and oil, for the young of the flock and the herd; their souls shall be like a well-watered garden, and they shall sorrow no more at all.”

​​“Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance, and the young men and the old, together; for I will turn their mourning to joy, will comfort them, and make them rejoice rather than sorrow. ​​I will satiate the soul of the priests with abundance, and My people shall be satisfied with My goodness, says Yehovah.”  Jeremiah 31:10-14

This is quite the list – Gather, keep, redeem, ransom, sing, well-watered soul, no sorrow, rejoice in dance, abundance, and satisfaction with God’s goodness!

While in the heat of battle and intensity of attacks, remember the God of Israel. Christians worship the same God Yehovah. There is personal application for us also, as we discern great fear, distress, and dread hanging over America like a cloud. Even for us, in spite of the election pressures, God is on the Throne. He has a purpose and promises for believers personally and also for our nation. Do we deserve His judgement? Of course we do. However, He may not quite be finished with our nation. I pray for His mercy, not justice. I don’t want to get what we deserve. I pray that we will be a sheep nation who remains faithful to Him at the last. Let us be merciful with the character of our loving Father God.

“For judgment is without mercy to the one who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment.”  James 2:13

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem and victory over her enemies. And remember to VOTE THE BIBLE!

Amos 1:6 Sinwar Is Dead

17 10 2024

Sinwar

On the first day of the Feast of Tabernacles, Yahya Sinwar, Head of Hamas, was eliminated. We pray that Hamas will surrender now and release the 101 hostages, including four American citizens. Remember Yehovah revealed to Amos that He would not turn away His punishment or judgment of Gaza because this was their fourth transgression against Israel.

If Israel stops fighting before eliminating Hamas, Israel loses and Hamas wins. The Hamas Charter calls for the total annihilation of the Jews, not land for peace. They don’t care how many civilians are killed, except for world sympathy. Israel and Prime Minister Netanyahu need our prayers for the courage to finish this war. I have shared this text several times since Oct 7, but let me emphasize one more time. This is God’s judgement of the wickedness of Hamas. Yehovah will not turn it away this time. This literally is the fourth Gaza war.

Thus says 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. ​​But I will send a fire upon the wall of Gaza, which shall devour its palaces.  Amos 1:6-7

Gaza Hamas Attacks Israel Wars:

2008 – Operation Cast Lead

2012 – Operation Pillar of Defense

2014 – Operation Protective Edge

2023 – Operation Swords of Iron So, this is the 4th Gaza war. Pray it ends with total Hamas surrender!

The Fall Feasts began with Trumpets/Rosh HaShanah with Iran attacking Israel with 201 ballistic missiles and the miracle of God’s protection that no Israelis were killed. On Yom Kippur, Israel’s holiest day,  Hezbollah terrorists fired 320 missiles from Lebanon, yet with few injuries. A great miracle involved a direct hit on a retirement home that included Holocaust survivors. No one was injured!

Yom Kippur Miracle: Drone strikes old-age home; no injuries – Israeli President Isaac Herzog highlighted a particularly concerning target of the attack. “Hezbollah’s latest targets were elderly Jews and Holocaust survivors in a retirement home,”

You may notice a pattern here with the Feast days. We still await Israel’s serious and surprising counter attack on Iran. Tabernacles runs to October 24th. Will it be during or after this Feast? Pray for wisdom and courage for Netanyahu and his advisors. Pray that his top advisor will be Yehovah God.

“What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies. Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?”  Romans 8:31-35

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem and rain in this rainy season, including Holy Spirit rain!

Surprising Iran/Yom Kippur

10 10 2024

Dry Bones Iran 10-24

Friday sundown is the start of Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement for Jews. It is a time of sober repentance and soul searching. This year Israel is preparing a devastating response to Iran’s attacks of April 13 and October 1. They sent over 500 ballistic missiles at the sovereign state of Israel in an unprovoked attack simply because the Ayatollah hates Jews. This was more ballistic missiles fired than any time in history. Only by Israel’s defenses and the miracle protection of Yehovah God did Israel escape with no fatalities.

Saturday is a double Shabbat, so I don’t expect Israel to attack before Sunday. However, Israel’s Defense Minister Gallant warned of a surprise so pay attention and pray! He says Iran won’t know what happened or how it happened! Wow! Stay tuned.

Gallant: “When we respond, Iran won’t know what happened or how it happened” – Defense Minister Gallant says during a visit to the Intelligence Directorate: “The Iranian attack was aggressive but imprecise, our response will be powerful, precise and surprising.”

You may think that is bravado, except in the context of the beeper and walkie-talkie hit on Hezbollah last month. Israel has been preparing for Iran for over 20 years. Iran simply cannot be allowed to have nukes and they are on the brink by all reports. Add to this the fact that Yehovah has promised His protection. Already many are saying this Israeli turn around from one month ago is historic. It is compared to the 1948 miracle victory, and the miraculous Six Day War defeat of five Arab armies with the Hand of God. 

Remember I have been saying for several years that this is not Iran’s prophetic time. They will be prominent in the Gog and Magog War of Ezekiel 38. There must be a time of peace preceding that war beyond anything yet experienced by modern Israel. (Please, just carefully read Ezek. 38:1-11 describing Israel’s extraordinary peace at the time of that invasion.)

What seemed impossible a month ago is now happening. We are seeing the defeat of the Iranian terror proxies Hamas and Hezbollah and the others. This leaves Iran at their most vulnerable since 1979. One more thing to watch is the destruction of Damascus of Isaiah 17. It could be imminent.

If I am right, and if Trump wins, expect Saudi Arabia to join the Abraham Accords by the end of March, along with several other countries. I am not prophesying, just connecting the dots. Let’s watch and pray together. God has helped throughout Israel’s history as seen here:

“Moreover, Uzziah prepared for all the army shields, spears, helmets, body armor, bows and sling stones. In Jerusalem he made engines of war invented by skillful men to be on the towers and on the corners for the purpose of shooting arrows and great stones. Hence his fame spread afar, for he was marvelously helped until he was strong.”  2 Chronicles 26:14-15 NASB 1995

God supplied “engines of war invented by skillful men.” Does this sound like Israel today? Pray for God’s hand in the defense of Israel. He did not regather them from 150 countries to nuke them. 

“What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?”  Romans 8:31

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!

The Party of Allah

25 09 2024

Naze salute Hez

Hezbollah literally translated is “party of Allah.” Make no mistake. Israel is in the middle of a cosmic clash between the living God Yehovah and the pagan idol usurper. I usually don’t use the name of that god, but you need to know the difference.

“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.”  Exodus 23:13

“You shall make no covenant with them, nor with their gods. They shall not dwell in your land, lest they make you sin against Me. For if you serve their gods, it will surely be a snare to you.”  Exodus 23:32-33

The god of Islam is not the same as Yehovah. Their god is not a father and has no son according to the Koran. The Jesus (Isa) of the Koran did not die or raise from the dead. That is a denial of the only blood sacrifice of Jesus that paid for our salvation and fulfilled all the promises of the Promised ONE! Do not miss the importance of using the name of Yehovah (Jehovah or Yahweh). It is His name. Use of the generic “god” dilutes the distinction. Say His name!

“Not unto us,O Yehovah, not unto us, ​​but to Your name give glory​Why should the Gentiles say, ​​“So where is their God?” ​​But our God is in heaven; ​​He does whatever He pleases. ​​Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands. ​​They have mouths, but they do not speak; ​​Eyes they have, but they do not see; ​​They have ears, but they do not hear; ​Noses they have, but they do not smell; ​​They have hands, but they do not handle; feet they have, but they do not walk; nor do they mutter through their throat. ​​Those who make them are like them;​​So is everyone who trusts in them. ​​O Israel, trust in Yehovah;”  Psalm 115:1-9

“Who is the liar but he who denies that Yeshua is the Messiah? This is the Anti-messiah, he who denies the Father and the Son.”  1 John 2:22 HNV

We serve the living God Yehovah, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. He is the God of Israel, the One true God the Father. We worship Yeshua, Jesus the Son of Yehovah! Hallelujah!

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem, victory over Hezbollah, and for rain this rainy season.

Last Days: Good or Bad?

12 09 2024

Final-Judgement-3798329813

Yes, both! As we approach the Second Coming of our Messiah Jesus, many wonder if life will get better or worse. The answer is yes. The future for the wicked is bleak and hopeless. However, it is different for those who have made peace through the sacrifice of the Lamb of God. We too will go through tough times, but He will be with us and give us supernatural peace.

“Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.”  Philippians 4:6-7 NLT

Some translations say “peace that passes understanding.” I call it peace that doesn’t make sense. We had a house fire back in 2001 and stood watching 40 foot flames from the roof. Yet, Doreen looked at me and said: “I’m sure glad I wore my comfortable shoes.” My comment was: “l sure didn’t see that coming.” We had real supernatural peace. We certainly could not have faked in that circumstance. No, we actually experienced peace from God above. It was tangible. We needed Him and He was there with us. Habakkuk described the same reaction in the worst of times:

“Even though the fig trees have no blossoms, and there are no grapes on the vines; even though the olive crop fails, and the fields lie empty and barren; even though the flocks die in the fields, and the cattle barns are empty, yet I will rejoice in Yehovah! I will be joyful in the God of my salvation! The Sovereign Yehovah is my strength! He makes me as surefooted as a deer, able to tread upon the heights.”  Habakkuk 3:17-19 NLT

Elections in the U.S, war in Israel and Europe, economic collapse, WWIII? or maybe a season of peace and prosperity? As the song says: We don’t know what the future holds, but we know Who hold the future.” Do not lose hope. Stand in faith! God is faithful!

“For what if some did not believe? Will their unbelief make the faithfulness of God without effect? Certainly not! Indeed, let God be true but every man a liar.”  Romans 3:3-4

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem and for seasonal rains in Israel this Fall.

Good Kings and Bad Kings Matter

5 09 2024

CourageLogo-1180x770-622924444

The next two months are critical for Western civilization which is founded on Judeo Christian precepts. The elections in America and the war in Israel sober us regarding national leadership. If we learn anything from the Bible, the courage and steadfastness of the king makes all the difference. Sadly most kings were selfish and rebelled from God’s ways. I often ask who was the first king of Israel? Most will say King Saul, but they would be wrong. God was King long before Israel demanded a human king “like the other nations.” So, God gave them Saul who only served himself, like the kings of other nations. Yet, Yehovah God in His mercy rejected Saul as king and raised up King David. 

“But now your kingdom shall not continue. Yehovah has sought for Himself a man after His own heart, and Yehovah has commanded him to be commander over His people, because you have not kept what Yehovah commanded you.”  1 Samuel 13:14

Later on, after numerous bad kings, God raise up another good king. King Josiah was only eight years old when he became king, but God specifically described his character and steadfastness.

“Josiah was eight years old when he became king, and he reigned thirty-one years in Jerusalem. …..And he did what was right in the sight of Yehovah, and walked in all the ways of his father David; he did not turn aside to the right hand or to the left.”  2 Kings 22:1-2

Now, in 2024, the future of the West may be decided. We must hear from God when we vote, and when we pray. How should we pray? Pray that our leaders will be chosen by God. Pray that they will have humility and wisdom and that they will hear the Holy Spirit in every decision. God will guide them if they listen and do not turn to the right hand or the left. Pray they follow the path blazed by Jesus our Messiah. Pray that they love God and set Him as the foundation of their government. Pray that they will do what is right in the sight of Yehovah and His Son, Yeshua. 

“And beginning at Moses and all the Prophets, He expounded to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning Himself.”  Luke 24:27

How wonderful it would have been to have walked with Jesus on the road to Emmaus when He opened all of history to those disciples. There has never been a greater teaching before or since. Pray that our leaders will find salvation and the fulness of the Holy Spirit. Pray that they will walk with Jesus, listen well, turn not to the right or left, and that they will do what is right in the sight of Yehovah!

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem.

No apartheidHappy Gaza rescue this week of a Bedouin Muslim Israeli citizen. Notice the picture of him with his religious leader and brother, and the religious Jewish doctor celebrating the rescue by Israeli commandos from multiple faiths. This puts the lie to the propaganda media accusation that Israel is apartheid. Here are his own words: “This is thanks to our army, they are doing holy work, risking their lives.” – Israeli Bedouin hostage Farhan Alkadi speaking with President Isaac Herzog following his rescue yesterday. An Arab Muslim praising what Israeli soldiers are doing in Gaza, and calling the IDF “our army.” This is a reality you won’t see portrayed by the deceitful mainstream international media. Israel Today. Indeed, a picture is worth a thousand words.

Religious doctor: ‘Photograph is microcosm of Israeli society’ – Photo of Dr. Dan Schwartzfuchs with rescued hostage, Qaid Farhan Al-Qadi, goes viral; ‘I think the war bonded us even more.’

Contrast that Israeli diversity with the true apartheid in Iran, where the Ayatollah insists on division within Islam itself. Iran is Shia and most other Muslims are Sunni. I have often stated that if Iran had one nuclear bomb they would use it on Saudi Arabia, who are Sunni.

“Iranian Leader Ali Khamenei: Forget all the Arab and Islamic issues. Forget America, Israel and the whole world. They all mean nothing to us and do not concern us at all. Our first and last battle is with the followers of Yazid bin Muawiyah bin Abi Sufyan. That is, our battle is with the Sunni Muslims until the Day of Judgment.” Amir Tsarfati

This dispute traces all the way back to the death of Muhammed and who should be his successor. It is important to understand that Satan is divided even against himself. He rules by fear and domination, but certainly not from unity. Our best prayer against him is that God would deal with our enemies as he did with the Midianites. (See Psalm 83) The best victory is when our enemies turn on each other and destroy one another. God did that with Gideon and also with Jehoshaphat.

And he said, “Listen, all you of Judah and you inhabitants of Jerusalem, and you, King Jehoshaphat! Thus says Yehovah to you: ‘Do not be afraid nor dismayed because of this great multitude, for the battle is not yours, but God’s.” (v.15) “Now when they began to sing and to praise, Yehovah set ambushes against the people of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir, who had come against Judah; and they were defeated. For the people of Ammon and Moab stood up against the inhabitants of Mount Seir to utterly kill and destroy them. And when they had made an end of the inhabitants of Seir, they helped to destroy one another. So when Judah came to a place overlooking the wilderness, they looked toward the multitude; and there were their dead bodies, fallen on the earth. No one had escaped.”  2 Chronicles 20:15, 22-24

We would do well to remember that the battle belongs to the Lord God!

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem, and victory over all enemies by the hand of God and His Messiah Yeshua.

600 from North America!

22 08 2024

Aliyah 2024

Wars and rumors of wars and 600 N. Americans decided it is time to move to Israel. If you have not read Jeremiah 31 lately, now is the time. God is moving on His people, Jesus is calling, and the Holy Spirit is drawing them home from all the countries where they were scattered. Immigrating to Israel is called “aliyah” which means going up. It was the word used calling Israel to go up to Jerusalem three times a year for the Feasts of Yehovah. Notice the ending is “Yah” which is short for Yehovah. In reality they were going up… to God! So it is for 2,000 Jews making aliyah to Israel this summer. Praise the Lord!

Hundreds of North Americans make aliyah in a week – Over the course of the week (August 20-28), 600 newcomers will make Israel their new home, on 14 group Aliyah flights, offered by Nefesh B’Nefesh. This latest wave of immigrants is part of a larger movement that has seen 2,000 Olim, ranging in age from just 2 months old to 97 years old, embark on their journey to Israel this summer. The new citizens hail from a diverse array of states and provinces across the US and Canada, including Arizona, California, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Maryland, Missouri, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Ontario.

Despite conflict, scores of Jews move to Israel – Despite the ongoing war and lack of safety, a new wave of Jews from the US and France choose to make aliyah, demonstrating an unwavering commitment to the State of Israel.

Lies and blood libel against Israel and the Jews cannot stop the flow of returning Jews. The world is blind, but Yehovah God is keeping His word! I liken it to salmon returning to their spawning grounds. Something supernatural happens in the Jewish heart. God calls and they must respond. Jeremiah calls it the new covenant written on their hearts. We should pray in agreement with the Holy Spirit unction in every heart. You really should read all of Jeremiah 31, but here are a few verses.

“Behold, I will bring them from the north country, and gather them from the ends of the earth, Among them the blind and the lame, the woman with child and the one who labors with child, together; a great throng shall return there.” v.8

“Hear the word of Yehovah, O nations, and declare it in the isles afar off, and say, ‘He who scattered Israel will gather him, and keep him as a shepherd does his flock.’” v.10

“Behold, the days are coming, says Yehovah, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah— not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt, My covenant which they broke, though I was a husband to them, says Yehovah. But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says Yehovah: I will put My law in their minds, and write it on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people.”  v.31-33

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem and pray for aliyah!

Maybe Prayer Could Help?

15 08 2024

Dry Bones prayer

Controversy erupts every time Jews visit the Temple Mount, even though Israel has freedom of religion. Intimidated by Muslims and western nations, Israel restricts prayer for Jews and Christians there. Yet, prayer is the best hope for all concerned. Prayer is not the last resort, but the first priority. Human effort has always been a substitute for relying on and trusting Yehovah God.

Blinken Criticizes Ben-Gvir’s Visit to Temple Mount– This week, on the day that Jews mourn over the destruction of the two Temples, over 2,000 years ago, 2,663 Jews had the audacity to ascend the Temple Mount and dared to pray there. This little act caught the attention of the U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, who criticized Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir’s visit to the Temple Mount on Tisha B’Av, labelling it a “blatant disregard for the status quo.”

Prayer is War! Prayer is not the last resort; it is the shortest route to complete victory. Remember Jehoshaphat sending the worshippers ahead of the troops by God’s instruction? Concerning the Temple Mount, Jesus was quite clear quoting Isaiah.

Then He taught, saying to them, “Is it not written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations’? But you have made it a ‘den of thieves.’ ”  Mark 11:17

“Also the sons of the foreigner who join themselves to Yehovah, to serve Him, and to love the name of Yehovah, to be His servants— Everyone who keeps from defiling the Sabbath, and holds fast My covenant— Even them I will bring to My holy mountain, and make them joyful in My house of prayer. Their burnt offerings and their sacrifices will be accepted on My altar; for My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations.”  Isaiah 56:6-7

The world is on fire. Israel is at war. Ceasefire talks continue their futility for the umpteenth time. Isn’t it about time to seek God and His Messiah for supernatural help? Prayer is mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds!

“For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ.”  2 Corinthians 10:3-5

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem, victory over her enemies, and salvation for all who believe.

Not Iran’s Prophetic Time

8 08 2024

wag

Media is anticipating a major war with Israel and Iran but I am not convinced. Events are more accurately viewed by Scripture and inspiration of the Holy Spirit. There may be a war, but Iran must lose because it is not her prophetic time. I speak this with conviction from Bible prophecy. My beloved mentor, Earl Waterman, often said: : I’m not a prophet or a prophet’s son, but I’ll do the prophesying till the prophet comes.” Having been a pastor/shepherd most of my life, the Lord Jesus has moved my assignment to speak about God’s faithfulness to Israel. I identify with Brother Earl and also with Amos.

But Amos replied, “I’m not a professional prophet, and I was never trained to be one. I’m just a shepherd, and I take care of sycamore-fig trees. But Yehovah called me away from my flock and told me, ‘Go and prophesy to my people in Israel.’”  Amos 7:14-15 NLT

Iran is destined to collapse in the near future. Since I discovered the juxtaposition of Psalm 83 and Ezekiel 38; it has been clear that Iran must diminish for a time. Israel must come into an extraordinary peace before the Gog and Magog War of Ezekiel 38. There are two compelling Biblical reasons for this.

#1 – Both prophecies name specific countries around Israel. But, none of those named in Psalm 83 are repeated in Ezekiel 38. Why? I believe the Abraham Accords will continue to expand creating real peace with all of Israel’s immediate Arab neighbors. (See Isaiah 19.) Therefore, the timing issue requires a substantial period of peace before Gog and Magog. Also, Ezekiel 38 is clear (several times) that the invasion occurs when Israel has taken down the walls which now dot the landscape, especially around Jerusalem, and they are dwelling without gates in “a land of unwalled villages.”

#2 – Iran/Persia is not named in Psalm 83, but is a major player with Turkey in Ezekiel. Therefore, Iran must diminish or collapse in the present. It is simply not their time yet. They will not expand at this time, but their time will come later. I have been predicting the diminishing of Iran for several years. It is now becoming evident.

Experts are now suggesting major faults in many areas of the Iranian regime. It may fall the same way the Soviet Union fell in the 90’s. The Ayatollah is reportedly near death and the government is very shaky. The economy is collapsing. Israel is poised to eliminate the nuclear threat as soon as necessary. In addition, there are more than five distinct minorities in Iran that are plotting a coup against the Ayatollah. Only about half of Iran’s population is Persian. The rest are various ethnic minorities such as Turks, Kurds, Arabs, Azeris, and others. For more on this watch a two minute interview with Dr. Mordechai Kedar, a Mideast expert from Bar-Ilan University in Israel. It starts at about 5:40 into the video.

As the Arab nations make peace there are still terrorist groups that must also disappear including Hamas and Islamic Jihad in Gaza, the Houtis in Yemen, and Hezbollah in Lebanon and Syria. These will fall from within according to the prayer of Psalm 83.

Deal with them as with Midian, Psalm 83:9

Gideon’s victory over the Midianites was because Yehovah caused a terror to sweep over them and they killed each other in the confusion. That is the prayer of Psalm 83 for today’s enemies of Israel. Let it be done according to God’s word!

Come, let us worship and bow down. Let us kneel before Yehovah our maker, for he is our God. We are the people he watches over, the flock under his care. Psalm 95:6-7 NLT

He will not let you stumble; the one who watches over you will not slumber. Indeed, he who watches over Israel never slumbers or sleeps. Yehovah himself watches over you! Yehovah stands beside you as your protective shade. Psalm 121:3-5 NLT

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem and pray that the leaders will hear and obey the voice of Yehovah God.. Also, pray for the salvation of Jew and Arabs alike.

Delivered From the Violent Man

1 08 2024

300 days

The Middle East is on fire! Exactly 300 days ago the head of Hamas was thanking his pagan god for the massacre that day from Gaza into Israel. Today is his funeral in Iran! Earthshaking events are now almost daily. Political, military, and even physical earthquakes have roiled the region. Assassinations and funerals are followed by loud threats of revenge. Israel recently had major success taking out enemy leaders including the #1 of Hamas, #3 of Hamas, #2 of Hezbollah, and several lower commanders. The actions were in Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, Iran, and Yemen. Israel has moved from defense to offense. Major revenge attacks are expected that could lead to a wider war to the north. Even here in America there is a sense of growing threats of terrorism because of our open border and impotent administration. So, where shall we stand? Should we submit to fear and terror; or should we turn upwards and call upon our Deliverer?

“​​For who is God, except Yehovah? ​And who is a rock, except our God? ​​It is God who arms me with strength and makes my way perfect. ​​He makes my feet like the feet of deer and sets me on my high places. ​​He teaches my hands to make war, so that my arms can bend a bow of bronze. ​​You have also given me the shield of Your salvation; your right hand has held me up. ​​Your gentleness has made me great. ​​You enlarged my path under me, so my feet did not slip. ​​I have pursued my enemies and overtaken them; neither did I turn back again till they were destroyed.”  Psalm 18:31-37

The nations always pressure Israel to restrain, hold back, cease fire, and compromise. However, we are at a turning point. Israel is rising to push back the aggressors whose aim is the genocide of the Jewish people and nation. We must fervently pray for victory and wisdom for Prime Minister Netanyahu. Our loyalty is not to man but to the God whose unconditional promises will be fulfilled.

“Yehovah lives! ​​Blessed be my Rock! ​​Let the God of my salvation be exalted. ​​It is God who avenges me, and subdues the peoples under me; ​​He delivers me from my enemies. ​​You also lift me up above those who rise against me; ​​You have delivered me from the violent man. Therefore, I will give thanks to You, O Yehovah, among the Gentiles, and sing praises to Your name.”  Psalm 18:46-49

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem! Pray for Messiah Yeshua to protect His people. Pray for hearts turning to call on the living God for His salvation. Jesus is coming!

Hamas Coming or Jesus Coming?

25 07 2024

Final solution protestor

Yesterday saw another Hamas riot in DC during Netanyahu’s speech to Congress. One demonstrator protestor rioter was seen holding a sign saying: “Final Solution.” Others were screaming Allahu Akbar, which is the cry of suicide bombers just before they detonate. (By the way, it means: “Allah is the Greatest” not God is Great. It refers specifically to the god of Islam claiming to be greater than Yehovah.) But perhaps the most chilling declaration was spray painted on a statue of George Washington: “Hamas is Comin” (See photo: He ran out of space reminding me of the old “plan ahead” joke.)

HAMAS-IS-COMING

Yet, they really do believe that the Hamas version of Islam is coming to America, to DC. Yes, it is the same spirit of Isis, Hezbollah, al-Qaeda, and over 50 more designated terror groups. When I say “same spirit” I mean it literally. It is a demonic spirit or principality associated with radical jihadi Islam, but it comes straight from hell.

“For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.”  Ephesians 6:12

It is true that Jesus died for Muslims, but they become ex-Muslim when they accept that Jesus is the Son of Yehovah God and that He died as the blood sacrifice for our sins. It is considered the highest blasphemy in Islam, and they are executed under Sharia law for converting. So which is it? Is Hamas coming or is Jesus coming?

The greatest hope of true Messianic believers is His Second Coming. After the resurrection, Jesus (Yeshua) ascended into heaven and promised He would return. It makes perfect sense that Satan would co-opt that hope while broadcasting his scheme to defeat Yehovah. But he will fail again because Yehovah God is truly the Greatest! There may be terror attacks in America but if we stay true to Jesus, He will ultimately prevail.

“For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age, looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ,”  Titus 2:11-13

Is vandalism free speech? No, it is lawlessness. The problem is that we are not enforcing laws. There is such a thing as civil disobedience in protest, while accepting the consequences if laws are broken. The problem with protests today is that it’s easy to join because their are no consequences. If laws were enforced there would be far smaller crowds protesting. Many join for the fun or self importance feeling, but are not willing to pay a real price. We are living through turbulent times, but Jesus is on the Throne and God is in control!

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem, for Israel, for Netanyahu, safety and victory for the troops, and salvation for both sides.

God’s Curious Warning

18 07 2024

Trump-Biden-reportedly-had-‘good-conversation-after-assassination-attempt-4110601374

When does man get in the way of God’s justice? Two presidents are going on two different paths. We are watching historic events with the attempted assassination of President Trump and the possible removal of President Biden. Of course we should be praying, but this may be a time to keep our hands off what God is doing. Notice the warning in this verse:

“Do not rejoice when your enemy falls, and do not let your heart be glad when he stumbles; Lest Yehovah see it, and it displease Him, and He turn away His wrath from him.”  Proverbs 24:17-18

We are warned against a certain type of gloating or glee when our enemy falls. God may be upset with our attitude and back away from judging our enemy because of our wrong response. I base this on another verse where even God Himself does not rejoice in His own judgement.

“Do I have any pleasure at all that the wicked should die?” says the Lord Yehovah, “and not that he should turn from his ways and live?”  Ezekiel 18:23

“For I have no pleasure in the death of one who dies,” says the Lord Yehovah. “Therefore turn and live!”  Ezekiel 18:32

God takes no pleasure in the death of the wicked because He grieves over their rebellious failure to turn to Him and live. We must conform our attitude to His. Yes, we are glad that we are free from the enemy attack, but restrain our response with sober recognition of their eternal damnation. Their end is tragic.

“Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay, says Yehovah.”  Romans 12:19

Finally, this last verse warns not to exact our own revenge, but leave that to God. It even suggests that if we try to do it, God may step back and withhold His vengeance. The idea of giving “place” for wrath indicates it is His place to avenge us, not our place. Stay in your place and let God do His perfect work.

Historic changes are taking place right before our eyes. Watch, pray, and wait on God. Jesus is moving on the hearts of men by the Holy Spirit. There is virtually universal acknowledgement of “Divine intervention” in the failed assassination of Donald Trump. The name of Jesus is being heard this week more than any political convention I can remember. 

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem and courage for PM Netanyahu to finish the fight.

Blind Samson Still Served God

11 07 2024

Samson

Samson still defeated the Philistines though he was blind. Samson’s Hair is Growing is a great article from my Israeli friend Dominiquae Bierman. She is right that Israel was blind to intel before the October 7th massacre of 1,200 Israelis. Is there a message here? I believe it shows us that Yehovah God will accomplish His purpose even through our failures. Israel will conquer Gaza because God promised in Amos 1:6-7 that He will “not turn away” Gaza’s punishment. Both Israel and Samson deal with Gaza and terrorists.

Samson certainly sinned and lost his God given power, but after repentance God used him to finish the task. God’s purpose is larger than one individual. Likewise, Israel failed to heed the intel and was blinded to the pending attack. Was there moral failure or some disobedience to God involved? Given Israel’s openness to abortion, homosexuality, corruption, and other sins, God would be righteous to judge them. This is just as true in the United States. All have sinned and fall short of God’s glory. Yet, in His mercy and because He made eternal promises of restoration, God uses us in our weakness. Our job is to align with His plan.

I heard a word from the Lord last year to pray for today’s Samsons to repent and be restored. This is still true. I also heard clearly to pray for PM Netanyahu for courage and that we hold up his arms to see God’s victory. Always remember that it is God who wins the battle.

And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.  2 Corinthians 12:9

Our failures do not disqualify us but rather, in one way, they actually qualify us. We recognize our limits and fully lean on Jesus. After Jacob wrestled with the angel, he walked with a limp. Bible teacher, Ern Baxter, always said: “I don’t trust anyone who doesn’t walk with a limp.” 

“For we are the circumcision, who worship God in the Spirit, rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh,”  Philippians 3:3

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem and victory in all of God’s promises.

King David Moves Capital to Jerusalem

3 07 2024

pilgrimage road

Over 3,000 years ago King David captured Jerusalem from the fiercely independent Canaanite tribe of Jebusites.  He moved his capital from Hebron to Jerusalem to the Fortress of Zion which he called the City of David. Today, the City of David is perhaps the most important archeological site in the modern world, sitting just down the hillside from the Temple Mount.

Eric Stackelbeck had a great show on July 2, 2024 on Stakelbeck Tonight on TBN. He had a walking tour of the City of David and the Pilgrimage Road which ascends to the Temple Mount. The best part was his interview with Israeli believer, Reuvon Doron. He explained that scholars agree that Jesus performed at least 35 genuine miracles as recorded in the Gospels. However, only 2 of those were in Jerusalem. Jesus healed the blind man at the pool of Siloam and the lame man at the pool of Bethesda. The Pilgrimage Road connects these two pools.

Here is where it gets interesting. The Jebusite king taunted David by saying even the blind and lame could defend the Canaanite stronghold. King David did take the city and defeated the arrogant Jebusite. Fast forward 1,000 years and Jesus’ only miracles in Jerusalem were the blind and lame!

And the king and his men went to Jerusalem against the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land, who spoke to David, saying, “You shall not come in here; but the blind and the lame will repel you,” thinking, “David cannot come in here.”  2 Samuel 5:6

David’s victory established Jerusalem as Israel’s eternal capital 3,000 years ago. Messiah Jesus came not only to rule from Jerusalem on David’s throne, but to heal the blind and lame! There is one more point. As David united Israel, Jesus unites Jews and Gentiles in One New Man in His eternal Kingdom. Hallelujah!

“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, and that He might reconcile them both to God in one body through the cross, thereby putting to death the enmity. And He came and preached peace to you who were afar off and to those who were near. For through Him we both have access by one Spirit to the Father.”  Ephesians 2:14-18

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem and victory in Gaza.

Lebanon Next?

27 06 2024

Nile to Euphrates

Israel will be never again uprooted. (See my last post.) But what about Lebanon? Their future is to be part of Israel. What does this say about the imminent Lebanon war?  Israel will win and Jews will live there. It also speaks of the “one new man” of Jew and Gentile united in Messiah Yeshua. (See Ephesians 2:14-16.) Amos spoke of the regathering of Israel from all over the world, but here is a prophecy saying they will expand to Lebanon.

“I will whistle for them and gather them, For I will redeem them; and they shall increase as they once increased. I will sow them among the peoples, and they shall remember Me in far countries; they shall live, together with their  children, and they shall return. I will also bring them back from the land of Egypt, and gather them from Assyria. I will bring them into the land of Gilead and Lebanon, until no more room is found for them.”  Zechariah 10:8-10

They come out of nations and come in to Lebanon and Gilead, which is in present Jordan. Since this is future, Hezbollah must be eliminated, thus the coming war. Also, Iran must be de-fanged as well for prophesied peace of Ezekiel 38 before the Gog and Magog war.

Notice the map showing the area between the Nile river (near Cairo) and Euphrates river (just above the name of Syria). Yehovah promised Abraham this would be the future inheritance. Lebanon and Gilead are part of this and will be necessary to make room for the regathered exiles.

“On the same day Yehovah 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”  Genesis 15:18

This not some last minute thought of God. He has planned it before the foundations of the earth. He has said it and He will do it!

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem and for His protection and purpose for this next Lebanon war.

Never Again Uprooted

20 06 2024

When is never again? A key to prophecy is to notice the timing words. Some promises are given a certain time for fulfillment. I often refer to Psalm 102 as the Holocaust Psalm because it so graphically describes the actual historic Holocaust of the 1940’s. Verse 13 in that Psalm then firmly states that “Now is the time to favor Zion.” We then see it exactly fulfilled with Israel restored as a nation right after the Holocaust. The photo of Israeli grapes is proof of the accuracy of the Bible. So, here is another prophecy with specific timing.

“I will bring my exiled people of Israel back from distant lands, and they will rebuild their ruined cities and live in them again. They will plant vineyards and gardens; they will eat their crops and drink their wine. I will firmly plant them there in their own land. They will never again be uprooted from the land I have given them,” says Yehovah your God.”  Amos 9:14-15

After nearly 2,000 years of exile and wandering among the nations, God has regathered His people to their own land of Israel. This is an historical miracle. No other nation can claim such. There is no other historic exile and regathering. There is only one. This is the one Amos prophesied. Notice the precise steps fulfilled.

  1. Bring back from distant lands.
  2. Rebuild cities.
  3. Live in those cities.
  4. They will plant.
  5. They will eat their crops.
  6. God will firmly plant them IN THEIR OWN LAND!
  7. They will NEVER AGAIN BE UPROOTED!

What part of “never again” don’t you get? All the nations may oppose. All the demons of hell will fight against it. But, you can take Yehovah God’s word to the bank. They will never again be uprooted. We had better stake our beliefs on God’s word than believe fears and threats from the enemy. There is a certain time in history when God regathers His exiled people and we are living in that fulfillment.

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem! Pray for God’s favor, protection and blessing in the present attacks on Israel. Pray for wisdom for the leaders of Israel. Pray that America will stand with Israel.

BEFORE Deliverance is Belief

6 06 2024

before-logo-261-5078

BEFORE Moses could lead his people out of Egyptian slavery, they were required to believe. Before the ten plagues, the Israelites had to believe God through Moses. Belief comes first. Yet, God was willing to confirm His Divine plan of deliverance with personal signs. Exodus 4 is an overlooked part of the Exodus account. Before the famous plagues, Israel had to believe. Yehovah gave them two signs to confirm that He was with Moses.

First, He changed the rod of Moses into a snake and back again. This hearkened back to the Garden showing authority over the serpent, Satan. It also specifically applied to the Pharaohs’ snake god worn on his headdress. God revealed He had authority over Egypt’s gods. Yehovah revealed Himself as El Shaddai.

Second, God also turned Moses’ hand to leprosy and then healed it. This sign indicated that Yehovah would heal and protect His people even through suffering. He revealed Himself as Yehovah Rafah, “I am Yehovah who heals you.”

“Then Moses and Aaron went and gathered together all the elders of the children of Israel. And Aaron spoke all the words which Yehovah had spoken to Moses. Then he did the signs in the sight of the people.”  Exodus 4:29-30

Notice that this gathering of the elders of Israel was before Moses went to Pharaoh. God was merciful to give these signs to His own, before the ten plagues even started. The people had to be on board before their deliverance. They had to believe first. This is still true today for our salvation and deliverance from sin. We are required to believe.

“So the people believed; and when they heard that Yehovah had visited the children of Israel and that He had looked on their affliction, then they bowed their heads and worshiped.”  Exodus 4:31

So we also humble our selves and worship our Savior and Messiah Jesus. He is Yehovah ben Yeshua!

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem and total victory in Gaza. Pray that the people will believe in God for their deliverance first.

Why  do I use God’s literal covenant Name: Yehovah? Here is a link to the explanation in my book: The Hebrew God Who Has No Name. And here is a link to a great visual from my friend Keith Johnson.

Three Circles

30 05 2024

3 circle chart

I see three circles drawn around Israel. The inner circle comprises the countries that geographically touch Israel named in Psalm 83. The next larger circle is the countries listed in Ezekiel 38. The third and largest circle represents all the rest of the world. In Yehovah God’s view, Israel is the center of the world, the apple of His eye. We are now seeing the final prophesied battles. Specific countries are named in Psalm 83 & Ezekiel 38. Yet, they are two different lists with no overlapping. The Ps. 83 War is almost complete, ending in a time of extraordinary peace described in Ezek. 38.

In Matthew 25, Jesus reveals the standard of national judgement for the remaining countries. Each country will finally be judged by its alignment either for or against Israel. I believe they are the “sheep and goat” nations to which Jesus referred in Matthew 25.

“When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His glory. All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats. And He will set the sheep on His right hand, but the goats on the left. Then the King will say to those on His right hand, ‘Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. ‘for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; ‘I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.’”  Matthew 25:31-36

The familiar end of this passage explains that “they” are judged on how they treated the least of His brothers. I know this is usually applied to individuals and whether or not they help the poor or visit prisoners, but the context is clear. Jesus is judging entire nations by this standard. While not ruling out the popular interpretation, we must at least allow the literal contextual reading. There will be sheep and goat nations! I pray, as a US citizen, that our nation will stand with Israel and be blessed to find our nation as a sheep nation on His right hand on judgment day. It is an absolutely basic premise throughout the Scriptures found clearly stated here:

“I will make you a great nation; I will bless you and make your name great; And you shall be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who curses you; and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”  Genesis 12:2-3

This “boomerang principle” cannot be cancelled. It is God’s unbroken promise since Genesis. He is the God who cannot lie. His word is true. All others are liars. Yehovah God is faithful. We can only choose blessing or curse. And as for me and my house, we will serve Yehovah and His Son Yeshua, the Lamb of God and Messiah, who takes away the sins of the world.

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem, wisdom for the leaders, protection of the troops and salvation for both Jews and Arabs, as well as all who call on His name!

Give Isis a State?

23 05 2024

Zionist poster

Why not give Isis a state? They have the same ideology of Hamas. Several countries (Spain, Ireland, and Norway) announced unilateral recognition of a Palestinian state. Eighty per cent of Palestinians support Hamas. At no time did Isis murder, rape, and behead 1,200 civilians in a single day. Yet, Palestinians who celebrated the October 7th massacre are rewarded with a state. There is no history of a state called Palestine. They are simply Arabs from surrounding countries to Israel. All the residents of the land were called Palestinians in the 20th Century. Look closely at the poster attached to this blog post. This was a Jewish Zionist poster calling to free “Palestine” from British rule. Even Jews used the term which had been applied by the Romans in 135 AD in order to wipe out the name of Israel, which has been Satan’s goal in every generation.

“They have said, “Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation, that the name of Israel may be remembered no more.”  Psalm 83:4

Add to this the fact the nations are honoring the death of the President of Iran who was known as the “butcher of Tehran.” Iran is the most evil terror sponsor among all the nations. Even the U.S. stood in remembrance. We are living in an upside down world. Would America have stood for a moment of silence for Hitler or Stalin? The message is that terrorism works!

“Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!”  Isaiah 5:20

“In transgressing and lying against Yehovah, and departing from our God, speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and uttering from the heart words of falsehood. ​​Justice is turned back, and  righteousness stands afar off; for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter. ​​So truth fails, ​​and he who departs from evil makes himself a prey.​ ​​Then Yehovah saw it, and it displeased Him ​that there was no justice.”  Isaiah 59:13-15

In spite of the goat nations of the world agreeing to wipe out Israel, Yehovah God’s eternal promise will prevail. His word is truth! Truth is a person, Jesus, our Messiah. Pray for the blinders to fall off and the truth be revealed.

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem, wisdom for Netanyahu, protection for the troops, and for total victory over Hamas!

Israel – Abandoned and Demonized

15 05 2024
MKM in Idaho
Today I must share this poem written just this week by my dear friend Michael Masambu of Kenya. He and his sweet wife Mama Sera were with us on our Israel tour nine months ago, only three weeks before the October 7 massacre of 1,200 + Israeli citizens. It was the worst one day loss of lives since the Holocaust. Michael was moved as we all were by the great tragedy and we choose to stand with Israel to eliminate Hamas. Hamas is the exact same spirit as Isis. We pray for Prime Minister Netanyahu and all the leaders of Israel. In the end it will be Yehovah God and His Messiah Yeshua who will win the day. He keeps His word to a thousand generations!
 
ABANDONED AND DEMONIZED BY ALLIES AND FOES.
Today she stands alone
Faced with war from within and without
Yet Israel shall stand.
Today her closest friend has abandoned her, left her alone in the dark, singing the song of her enemies
Not showing regard for her pain,
Yet Israeli shall stand.
She has been abandoned, but not into the hands of her foes
She is left in the hands of her God.
The enemy coalition has grown and increased
Yet Israel shall stand.
By abandoning her – To arm twist her to dance to the tune of the enemy coalition,
Her friends denied themselves a chance for honour.
Yet Israel shall stand.
The enemy coalition has stirred up anger against Israel.
The United Nations became a member
Divorcing its charter for popularity.
Yet Israel shall stand.
Go Israel go
Yehovah Sabaoth is with you
Go Israel go
The armies of heaven are with you
Go Israel go
Your Goliath will fall
Yet Israel shall stand.
They have pushed you from your birth
They have hated you like no other
They have enslaved you and beaten you
Yet from ashes you have prevailed
They thought you were gone never to rise again
Yet Israel shall stand.
Your God is listening to the conspirators
He laughs at all they plan?
He has prepared a language to address them
It is the language of his wrath
Yet Israel shall stand.
 
Arise Israel
For –
Yet Israel shall stand.
 
MKM – Michael Kisabuli Masambu
 
“So the people believed; and when they heard that Yehovah had visited the children of Israel and that He had looked on their affliction, then they bowed their heads and worshiped.”  Exodus 4:31
 
Pray fervently for victory in Gaza and the north and peace for Jerusalem and all Israel. Pray for salvation in Jesus for Jews and Arabs alike. Also, please pray for Michael as he ministers in the U.S. the next few weeks.

Oldest Virus is Back!

8 05 2024

VIRUS BACK

The ancient hatred is back. Anti-Semitism is the oldest virus afflicting the human race. It is the ultimate rebellion against Yehovah Himself. It is worse than any pandemic. The coordinated riots of college campuses are appropriating the oldest demonic spirit in history. No other vile deception has reappeared in every generation for some 4,000 years. The screaming students are almost completely ignorant of the actual Gaza situation. They are only parroting the talking (or yelling) points of their handlers. They are “useful idiots” on the payroll of very sinister Marxist and Muslim Jihadist forces, including foreign entities. They are applauded by our enemies from terrorists to Iran to Russia and China. Here is just one example from the Bible of a devastating judgement of God against an enemy of Israel referred to as Mt. Seir.

“Because you have had an ancient hatred, and have shed the blood of the children of Israel by the power of the sword at the time of their calamity, when their iniquity came to an end, therefore, as I live,” says the Lord Yehovah, “I will prepare you for blood, and blood shall pursue you; since you have not hated blood, therefore blood shall pursue you. Thus I will make Mount Seir most desolate, and cut off from it the one who leaves and the one who returns.”  Ezekiel 35:5-7

It is not a good idea to find yourself in opposition to the living God. People who yield to this ancient hatred leave reason behind and our driven by that demonic spirit. About five minutes ago it was a cardinal sin of the Left to be guilty of “cultural appropriation,” like wearing a Mexican sombrero if you are not Mexican. Now the rioters are all dressed like Arabs! We need to pray for our young people for deliverance and salvation. They claim to be on the right side of history, a term made popular by President Obama. Yet, they have literally taken a position that is exactly opposite of all of history. Every nation or empire that opposed God’s plan for Israel has disappeared and Israel remains.

House Speaker Mike Johnson urges Biden to see antisemitism ‘virus’ at Columbia after GOP visit – Johnson revealed his plea to Biden as House Republicans announced a chamber-wide crackdown on antisemitism headed up by committee leaders, declaring that they would hold university leaders, administration officials and donors accountable for a surge in public Jew-hatred on campus.

One further observation from history regarding President Biden blocking arms shipments for Israel needed for Rafah that were voted by Congress. Passover just ended and I am reminded of the end of Pharaoh. For five plagues he hardened his own heart to Yehovah’s demand through Moses; but after the sixth plague God hardened Pharaoh’s heart! That was it, the end of Pharaoh. My point is that Biden has defied Scripture guard rails so many times, especially about Israel, I wonder if severe judgement is close. 

Pray for Jerusalem and America! Pray courage for Israel’s leaders and protection for the troops.

Supernatural Fear and Weak Faith

1 05 2024

Fear

Terrorism is the use of supernatural fear to dominate us. Our only defense is supernatural faith in God. I recently wrote that terrorists have supernatural faith. They believe and are empowered by their demonic faith. It is a real thing. Faith works for them just like our faith works for us. The difference is that the god they worship is fake. The devil is an imposter who claims deity, in defiance of the true and living God of the Bible. Satan is a created being who claims to be more than he is. However, those who believe him are given a measure of the supernatural that energizes them.

“For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.”  2 Timothy 1:7

Christians lose to fear because of weak faith in Yehovah God and Yeshua (Jesus). If you are trembling in fear of these end times and the rise of spiritual wickedness; then you need a new baptism of the Holy Spirit. Do not lean on your own strength or understanding. Get on your knees. Open up you Bible!

“You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.”  1 John 4:4

“And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.”  Revelation 12:11

“And when the servant of the man of God arose early and went out, there was an army, surrounding the city with horses and chariots. And his servant said to him, “Alas, my master! What shall we do?” So he answered, “Do not fear, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them.” And Elisha prayed, and said, “Yehovah, I pray, open his eyes that he may see.” Then Yehovah opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw. And behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.”  2 Kings 6:15-17

Are you a weak Christian? Are you going to cower in fear of an inferior enemy? Or, are you standing up in courage and faith against all the wiles of the devil? It is time to put on your big-boy armor and prepare to fight for righteousness in the power of the Holy Spirit. Fervent prayer intercession defeats armies. Enlist now. We wrestle against supernatural power of evil. The only victory is with supernatural faith!

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem, wisdom and courage for Netanyahu and protection of the troops.
