Final Push in Gaza

7 08 2025

Israel has made their decision. Today Israel announced they will take total control of Gaza and eliminate Hamas. Netanyahu to Fox News: “We intend to militarily take control of the entire Gaza Strip, to free the civilian population, dismantle Hamas, and transfer it to an alternative government.” Here is a link to the Fox News interview where Netanyahu calls for Hamas to be eliminated and hostages released. (As I finish this post it is after midnight in Israel and the cabinet is still debating, I will update here when they are finished.) (After over 10 hours of debate the cabinet agreed to occupy Gaza City.)

Trump doesn’t oppose Netanyahu plan for full Gaza occupation: – President Trump does not oppose Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s plan to launch a new military operation to occupy the entire Gaza Strip, U.S. and Israeli officials say.

Rubio: There will be no peace until Hamas is disbanded – global attention must also focus on freeing the 20 hostages held by Hamas and disarming the terror group.

Time to revisit Amos as we see the end of the fourth war in Gaza in 20 years. They keep attacking Israeli civilians in what the Bible calls “transgressions.”

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

Remember that it is Yehovah God who says He will not “turn away” the punishment of Gaza. It is now time for the final act. God is faithful to keep His word. He not only speaks truth, but He acts to make sure it comes to pass just as He promised. Man speaks many words without doing, but God performs every word He speaks!

Then Yehovah said to me, “You have seen well, for I am watching over my word to perform it.”  Jeremiah 1:12 ESV

Also remember that during the plagues of Exodus, Pharoah hardened his heart at first, but then Yehovah hardened Pharoah’s heart. I believe that God has hardened Hamas’ heart at this point.

We must pray intentionally for God’s word to be fulfilled at this very time. The last battles could be tough. Pray for supernatural victory with minimal deaths. Pray for protection of the hostages and the troops and wisdom for the leaders. Now is the time!

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem.

Anti-Semites Hate God

31 07 2025

Behind the uproar is a solid Biblical truth. The rise in hatred of Jews and Christians is not social; it is spiritual. The source of Jew and Israel hate is hatred of God, because He chose them! In the last days this is extended to hate of Christians for the same reason. Rebellion from God is the motivation.

“Do not keep silent, O God! Do not hold Your peace, and do not be still, O God! For behold, YOUR enemies make a tumult; and those who hate YOU have lifted up their head. … For they have consulted together with one consent; They form a confederacy against YOU:”  Psalm 83:1-2,5

Since God’s enemies can’t touch God, they attack His chosen people. They purpose to eliminate Israel completely, even from memory. That is a powerful hatred. But they will fail! Yehovah God will keep His eternal covenant with His people Israel. The great news is that we Christians have been added into the “commonwealth of Israel,” according to Romans 11:17 and Ephesians 2:12-16. In the end the true believers from Jews and Gentiles are all part of God’s redeemed as “one new man.” Of course it also means that Christian believers are also now the target of that ancient hatred of God.

“They have taken crafty counsel against YOUR people, and consulted together against YOUR sheltered ones. 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 83:3-4

This Sunday is the “9th of Av” This date of the month of Av on the Jewish calendar has a horrible list of tragedies against the Jews throughout history. Here is just a partial list:

The evil report of the 10 spies (Numbers 13-14) — The destruction of the 1st and 2nd temples — The expulsion of Jews from England France and Spain and the beginning of WWI — The deportation of Jews from the Warsaw ghetto to Treblinka — The expulsion from Gaza in 2005 Curt Landry Ministries

These events all happened at the same time of year. No wonder Jews observe these days with solemn mourning and reflection. Yet, Israel is alive today and the empires who conquered them are gone!

Egyptians, Assyrians, Babylonians, Persians, Greeks, Romans, Arab Muslim Caliphates, Ottomans, and British are all no longer empires! Yet Israel lives! Am Israel Chai! The people of Israel live!

Finally, all of this hateful antisemitism has a silver lining. There is hope. The attention to it has caused many to reexamine Israel. There is a great opportunity now to share the good news of the restoration of Israel because God is faithful. Plus, since He is showing Himself faithful to them, our faith is encouraged and energized to spread the Gospel of Yeshua, the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world!

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!

Salvation Through Fire

24 07 2025

May the FOURTH be with you. This meme is a great play on words from the Star Wars quote: “May the force be with you.” We are living in turbulent times with many living in great fear and even terror. The whole world is shaking and many are losing hope. However, we serve the God who delivers through fire. It is not that believers always escape tragedy, but that He has promised to be with us no matter the outcome. The great story of the three Hebrew young men in the fiery furnace of Babylon is the Bible promise.

“If that is the case, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and He will deliver us from your hand, O king. But if not, let it be known to you, O king, that we do not serve your gods, nor will we worship the gold image which you have set up.”  Daniel 3:17-18

They knew that God could save them from the fire, but they also had already decided that they would serve God either way. They were willing to die rather than worship the false image of a pagan king. Then when the king heated the furnace seven time hotter the astounding deliverance occurred. A fourth man was seen in the fire.

“Look!” he answered, “I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire; and they are not hurt, and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God. Then Nebuchadnezzar went near the mouth of the burning fiery furnace and spoke, saying, “Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, servants of the Most High God, come out, and come here.” Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego came from the midst of the fire. And the satraps, administrators, governors, and the king’s counselors gathered together, and they saw these men on whose bodies the fire had no power; the hair of their head was not singed nor were their garments affected, and the smell of fire was not on them. Nebuchadnezzar spoke, saying, “Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, who sent His Angel and delivered His servants who trusted in Him, and they have frustrated the king’s word, and yielded their bodies, that they should not serve nor worship any god except their own God!”  Daniel 3:25-28

Jesus appeared with them in the fire! The king even praised Yehovah God in the end. Jesus Himself promised that He would neither leave us or forsake us.

Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” So we may boldly say: ​​“Yehovah is my helper; ​​I will not fear. ​​What can man do to me?”  Hebrews 13:5-6

Do not fear! He is with us to the end whether we are delivered immediately or not. We will be together with Him for eternity. He is the fourth one in the fires of life!

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem and pray for our leaders that they will hear God, have courage, and do the right thing.

Gaza Gambit 2.0

10 07 2025

Five months ago PM Netanyahu and Pres. Trump announced a bombshell plan for Gaza. Where are we now? This week, they have met again in DC, several times. Bibi has been meeting with every top official also found time to honor the two young people killed at the DC Israeli Embassy. The reason Bibi came to meet with the President was to discuss a Gaza cease fire, along with Iran, Syria, and several other items.

No deal has been announced as I write this and Netanyahu is flying home this evening. My view is that the main discussion was about what I call The Gaza Gambit 2.0. I wrote about it here. But much has transpired since February. I believe Trump has arranged countries who will absorb voluntary Gaza refugees. Timing is everything as usual, but I see it all lining up like ducks in a row.

The great victory over Iran clears the way for each step. Syria is about ready. Lebanon is close. The Houtis need to be defeated and Hamas completely neutralized. We are closer every day. Will a ceasefire create another delay? Possibly, but not for long. The Saudis and other nations are on the brink of agreeing to join the Abraham Accords paving the way for the “exceptional” peace we have been talking about from Ezekiel 38. It is quite satisfying to me that most prophetic commentators are now seeing this peace before the Gog and Magog War.

I believe our two national leaders are in lock step with the purpose of God. The final plan is His. Yehovah has been faithfully executing His plan over many years, bringing it to this time of manifestation. The time is now. Never again is now. We are not turning back from this prophetic moment. It is God’s moment. I rest in this Bible verse about the nature and character of Yehovah God. Nothing else matters.

For Yehovah of hosts has purposed, and who will annul it? His hand is stretched out, and who will turn it back?”  Isaiah 14:27

Isaiah was talking about God’s purpose with Assyria, but uses this fact that when God speaks no one can annul it. “Every promise of God is yes and amen!”  2 Corinthians 1:20

God has a purpose for Gaza and no man or demon can annul it!

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem! Pray that President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu will hear from God, and have courage to do the right thing.

Grasp the Sleeve of a Jewish Man

4 07 2025
“Thus says Yehovah of hosts: ‘In those days ten men from every language of the nations shall grasp the sleeve of a Jewish man, saying, “Let us go with you, for we have heard that God is with you.” Zechariah 8:23

Why does the Bible tell Gentiles to grab the sleeve of a Jewish man?  Israel is rising as a superpower in the Middle East. What is happening? How is that possible? Does this prophecy from Zechariah speak of our day? The miracle restoration of Israel in one generation is unprecedented. It is marvelous! What does that say about Israel’s future? Did God bring them back to their land to kill them? Or, is the His Divine Plan being manifest before our eyes. I believe it is part of the great harvest of souls in the last days. There is a great awakening coming not only in America, but around the world. Jews and Arabs are coming to Jesus. Israel is rising to a new place in the earth. (10 reasons why Israel matters to America)

“Thus says Yehovah of hosts: ​‘​Peoples shall yet come, ​​Inhabitants of many cities; ​​The inhabitants of one city shall go to another, saying, ​​“Let us continue to go and pray before Yehovah, and seek Yehovah of hosts. ​​I myself will go also.” ​​Yes, many peoples and strong nations shall come to seek Yehovah of hosts in Jerusalem, and to pray before Yehovah.”  Zechariah 8:20-22

Does this have anything to do with Yeshua? Remember when most of His disciples left him? Those who stayed with Him would not let go. That is what is happening in our day. People are seeing Yeshua as the Jew to follow. Ten times as many Gentiles are getting saved now, but His own will soon follow Him as well.

From that time many of His disciples went back and walked with Him no more. Then Jesus said to the twelve, “Do you also want to go away?” But Simon Peter answered Him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. Also we have come to believe and know that You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”  John 6: 66-69

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem and wisdom in this week’s decisions in Washington, DC.

The Unthinkable 12 Day War

26 06 2025

There is no question that no one saw it coming. Defeating Iran in 12 days, crippling Hezbollah with pagers and walkie talkies, the fall of Syria’s dictator, Lebanon reborn, Hamas on the ropes? Unthinkable! That word can be applied to each of those events. I remember a line from the Princess Bride movie: “You Keep Using That Word, I Do Not Think It Means What You Think It Means.” Shall we keep going? How about the soon major expansion of the Abraham Accords including Saudi Arabia, Syria, Lebanon and others? How many events can be unthinkable one after the other? There is only one explanation for all of these amazing results. God is supernaturally working! He has a plan and a promise. He is faithfully fulfilling His word. We live in Biblical times. Time and again throughout the Scriptures God delivered His people from their enemies. He is doing it again today. Consider Joshua of old… or Netanyahu and Trump today.

“And I commanded Joshua at that time, saying, ‘Your eyes have seen all that Yehovah your God has done to these two kings; so will Yehovah do to all the kingdoms through which you pass. ‘You must not fear them, for Yehovah your God Himself fights for you.’ “Then I pleaded with Yehovah at that time, saying: ‘O Lord Yehovah, You have begun to show Your servant Your greatness and Your mighty hand, for what god is there in heaven or on earth who can do anything like Your works and Your mighty deeds?”  Deuteronomy 3:22-24

God fights for Israel and blesses those who bless Israel! Israel’s War of Independence in 1948 was won against the Arab Legion of seven Arab armies. The amazing and miraculous Six Day War in June 1967 was by the hand of God. And now the humiliating defeat of a terror superpower in twelve days demonstrates again the intervening, almighty power of the living God. This truly is a defeat of the pagan god of Islam. Their chant of “Allah Akbar” is always mistranslated in Western media. It is not “god is great.” They say their god is the “greatest.” It has always been a spiritual war. It may not be over, but our God Yehovah is advancing! The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob is the true, living, and faithful Father God!

Keep praying for God’s Kingdom to advance. There are many more to be saved! Pray for the true peace of Jerusalem, Yeshua Sar Shalom/Jesus Prince of Peace.

The Rising Lion of Iran

19 06 2025

Notice the two different flags, followed by a meme sent to the Iranian people by Israel. Prime Minister Netanyahu was suggesting to the Iranian people that it is time for them to rise up and take back their country!

“The Iranian red, white and green flag exists in two versions: One represents the Islamic regime with the stylized red symbol which represents the name “Allah” written in Arabic and also symbolizes the value of being a martyr for the jihadi cause. The other shows a lion and a sun, from the time of the Shah before the Islamic takeover in 1978-9.”  One For Israel

Netanyahu named the military attack on Iran as: Operation Rising Lion. It has a dual meaning. One is that Israel, the Lion of Judah, is arising. But also that Iran can rise.

He quoted Numbers 23:24 “Look, a people rises like a lioness, and lifts itself up like a lion; It shall not lie down until it devours the prey, And drinks the blood of the slain.”

This verse is from the time when the false prophet Balaam tried to curse Israel but he could not. He could only speak blessing. I believe even now when Iran and much of the world is trying to curse Israel, they will fail. God has commanded the blessing and restoration of Israel and it cannot be reversed! Hallelujah! The meme of the lion standing upright over an Israeli fighter jet conveys the message. Notice the sun behind the lion in the original Iran flag and the meme. It is a clear call for the Iranian people to rise up like a lion.

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem and Iran! May Yehovah God bring not only peace, but also salvation to Jews, Arabs, Persians, and all the surrounding people.

Riots, Iran, and the Bible

12 06 2025

Rumors of riots in America, and Iran is about to explode, yet God is in control. Whether you consider a major geopolitical crisis or a personal crisis in your own life, faith in God is your anchor. For many years we have sung this simple chorus:

“This is the day…This is the day… That the Lord has made…That the Lord has made. We will rejoice…We will rejoice… and be gland in it, and be glad in it.”

But, do you know that this little song is in the Bible? As we watch the clock run out on Iran and the inevitable destruction of their nuclear program, there is comfort in Scripture. God is in control every day, not just the good days when everything is going well. We must not fear the unknown.  It is only unknown to us, not to God. He sees the end from the beginning and He has a plan. He knows. Where is this song in the Bible and what is the context? Did you know Jesus sang this song at the Last Supper, His Passover meal with the disciples?

“This is the day the LORD (Yehovah) has made; We will rejoice and be glad in it.”  Psalm 118:24

“In Mark 14, we’re told that Jesus and his disciples celebrated Passover and sang a hymn before going out to the garden of Gethsemane. So what hymn did they sing? Rabbinic tradition going back to the time of Jesus records that during Passover, Jewish people sang Psalm 113-118, a collection of songs known as the Passover Hallel.”  Bible Project

Psalm 118 is talking about the Messiah Yeshua and ends instructing the sacrifice be bound to the altar and indicates that this reveals that God is good! The worst moment in Jesus’ life and the apparent victory of Satan shows the goodness of Yehovah! His death on the cross is good! It is the provision of salvation for all who will believe in Him. The little chorus we sing is directly pointing to the sacrifice of the Lamb of God. This is the day to be glad and rejoice. This day of Jesus’ death is victory over death!

“God is Yehovah, and He has given us light; ​​Bind the sacrifice with cords to the horns of the altar. ​​You are my God, and I will praise You; ​​You are my God, I will exalt You. ​​Oh, give thanks to Yehovah, for He is good! ​​For His mercy endures forever.”  Psalm 118:27-29

Jesus Himself sang those words just hours before His temptation in Gethsemane’s Garden and His crucifixion. He knew the Father’s plan. He obeyed to the end and became the Savior of the world. THAT day was the most important day in history. So, be sure to see current world events and even your own personal events from God’s perspective. Is God worried about Iran and Israel, or riots in Los Angeles? No, and He can handle what you are going through. It does not always appear that things are heading in the right direction, but God is in control! Do not yield to the spirit of fear, but rather yield to the Holy Spirit of Yehovah God. Trust in God! (Please check out my previous blog posts about riots, below.)

Pray for  the peace of Jerusalem and wisdom for all our leaders.

God’s Specific Real Estate Promise

5 06 2025

We must not forget the literal land promise that God vowed to keep for Israel. His integrity is on the line. His severe judgement on Israel scattered them to all the nations, but He promised He would bring them back to the actual geographical land of Israel. Two weeks ago I wrote about Ezekiel 20, but there is more.

“For on My holy mountain, on the mountain height of Israel,” says the Lord Yehovah, “there all the house of Israel, all of them in the land, shall serve Me; there I will accept them, and there I will require your offerings and the first fruits of your sacrifices, together with all your holy things. I will accept you as a sweet aroma when I bring you out from the peoples and gather you out of the countries where you have been scattered; and I will be hallowed in you before the Gentiles. Then you shall know that I am Yehovah, when I bring you into the land of Israel, into the country for which I raised My hand in an oath to give to your fathers.”  Ezekiel 20:40-42

He raised His hand in an oath! There is no greater authority. God will return their land to them because He promised and He cannot lie. Yehovah’s very character and His name in intertwined with Israel’s destiny. God is married to Israel and to the land! (Beulah in Hebrew means: Married.)

“You shall no longer be termed Forsaken, nor shall your land any more be termed Desolate; but you shall be called Hephzibah, and your land Beulah; for Yehovah delights in you, and your land shall be married.”  Isaiah 62:4

“Then say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord Yehovah: “Surely I will take the children of Israel from among the nations, wherever they have gone, and will gather them from every side and bring them into their own land;”  Ezekiel 37:21

“Then you shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; you shall be My people, and I will be your God.”  Ezekiel 36:28

The promise is not simply to an ethnic people but to an actual geographical location on the globe. There are three reasons why this fact is significant. First, the promise being geographical indicates that we should not lean to a symbolic or spiritualized interpretation of the prophecy. Secondly, it is evidence that God’s promises to the people of Israel do not stand alone but are directly connected to previously established promises to the land. The third and most important reason is what this promise says about the character of God. He is the God who keeps His word. We see this promise fulfilled right before our eyes from 1948 to the present. Hallelujah!

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem.

Fishers, Hunters, and Ezekiel 20

22 05 2025

Domestic terrorism has moved from violent protests to premeditated murder. The tragic terror killing of two Israeli Embassy workers in Washington, DC takes terror to another level. The fact that the victims were Jewish believers in Jesus simply amplifies the implications. For years Iran has said Israel is the little Satan and America is the big Satan. Jihadists have also said for years: “First the Saturday people, then the Sunday people.” Now we see it on our own soil. What does the Bible say about these prophetic times? Here is a principle of fishers and hunters revealed in Jeremiah 16 about the regathering of Israel from all the countries where they had been scattered in Divine judgement.

“Therefore behold, the days are coming,” says Yehovah, “that it shall no more be said, ‘Yehovah lives who brought up the children of Israel from the land of Egypt,’ but, ‘Yehovah lives who brought up the children of Israel from the land of the north and from all the lands where He had driven them.’ For I will bring them back into their land which I gave to their fathers. Behold, I will send for many fishermen,” says Yehovah, “and they shall fish them; and afterward I will send for many hunters, and they shall hunt them from every mountain and every hill, and out of the holes of the rocks.”  Jeremiah 16:14-16

First comes the invitation and positive encouragement for Jews to return to the land of Israel. After that will come hunters. This suggests violence. This pattern is clearly seen in Nazi Germany in the 1930s and 1940s. The United States has about 6-7 million Jews, almost as many as Israel with around 8 million. Last night’s terror attack suggest the hunters may be on the move. We must pray that America’s Jews will obey the Holy Spirit impulse to return to Israel, the land of their fathers.

One more Bible reference is revealing. Ezekiel warns of a time when God will separate the rebellious Jews from those who obey Yehovah’s voice. In my studied opinion, the “wilderness of the peoples” refers to the U.S. If true, then we are entering the season of separating out the rebels.

“As I live,” says the Lord Yehovah, “surely with a mighty hand, with an outstretched arm, and with fury poured out, I will rule over you. I will bring you out from the peoples and gather you out of the countries where you are scattered, with a mighty hand, with an outstretched arm, and with fury poured out. And I will bring you into the wilderness of the peoples, and there I will plead My case with you face to face. Just as I pleaded My case with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so I will plead My case with you,” says the Lord Yehovah. I will make you pass under the rod, and I will bring you into the bond of the covenant; I will purge the rebels from among you, and those who transgress against Me; I will bring them out of the country where they dwell, but they shall not enter the land of Israel. Then you will know that I am Yehovah.”  Ezekiel 20:33-38

Pray that American Jews will heed the call and be blessed through obedience. Pray for Prime Minister Netanyahu and President Trump for wisdom from above. And PRAY FOR THE PEACE OF JERUSALEM!

Jerusalem Under Siege by Babylon, Buy Now!

24 04 2025

The art of the deal is a hot topic in 2025, but maybe the best deal in the Bible was when Jeremiah bought land as Jerusalem was surrounded by Nebuchadnezzar’s army. It led to the total destruction of the city. Why did God tell Jeremiah to buy land then? One commentator said it was the worst deal ever. But I disagree. Jerusalem was literally under siege and Jeremiah was in prison, but Yehovah knew the end from the beginning. I imagine he bought the land for a song, considering the hopeless situation. But 70 years later, Israel returned with the backing of Cyrus, King of Persia and much wealth. Suddenly Jeremiah’s land was extremely valuable. Of course, that is not the main story.

God had him buy it as a prophetic act, signaling the promise of God to bring His people back from captivity. It is about the faithfulness of God. Israel had sinned, worshipping idols and pagan gods, but God was faithful! They deserved, yes, even earned their severe judgement, but God promised their fathers He would bless Israel. Look how Jeremiah trusted God in response to the ridiculous idea of buying property during a war with defeat inevitable. (In your investments, listen to God!)

“Now when I had delivered the purchase deed to Baruch the son of Neriah, I prayed to Yehovah, saying: ‘Ah, Lord Yehovah! Behold, You have made the heavens and the earth by Your great power and outstretched arm. There is nothing too hard for You. You show lovingkindness to thousands, and repay the iniquity of the fathers into the bosom of their children after them—the Great, the Mighty God, whose NAME is Yehovah of hosts. You are great in counsel and mighty in work, for Your eyes are open to all the ways of the sons of men, to give everyone according to his ways and according to the fruit of his doings’… Then the word of Yehovah came to Jeremiah, saying, “Behold, I am Yehovah, the God of all flesh. Is there anything too hard for Me?”  Jeremiah 32:16-19 and 26-27

God answered him by a mighty declaration followed by His plan. He will destroy their generation because of their sin, but He will bring them back from captivity and again they will buy and sell land and live in peace worshipping Yehovah!

“For thus says Yehovah: ‘Just as I have brought all this great calamity on this people, so I will bring on them all the good that I have promised them. And fields will be bought in this land of which you say, “It is desolate, without man or beast; it has been given into the hand of the Chaldeans.” Men will buy fields for money, sign deeds and seal them, and take witnesses, in the land of Benjamin, in the places around Jerusalem, in the cities of Judah, in the cities of the mountains, in the cities of the lowland, and in the cities of the South; for I will cause their captives to return,’ says Yehovah.”  Jeremiah 32:42-44

Today we must pray for Bibi Netanyahu, Israel’s Prime Minister and also President Trump for three specific requests. 1. Pray that they hear the wisdom of God. 2. Pray for courage. 3. Pray that they will do the right thing. Hearing and obeying God with action is the only hope for Israel, the US, and for each one of us.

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!

Lamb’s Blood Never Worked

17 04 2025

Passover was never about killing a lamb to remove sin. It was always a picture of the Messiah as the Lamb of Yehovah God. Putting blood on the doorposts was an act of obedience which exempted the family from the severe judgement on Egypt, the death of the firstborn. A little lamb dying never could take away sin. Even under Mosaic law it only covered sin for another year. The Hebrew word for atonement is “covering” in this verse. Sins were forgiven a year at a time.

“And he shall do with the bull as he did with the bull as a sin offering; thus he shall do with it. So the priest shall make atonement for them, and it shall be forgiven them.”  Leviticus 4:20

“For the law, having a shadow of the good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with these same sacrifices, which they offer continually year by year, make those who approach perfect.For then would they not have ceased to be offered? For the worshipers, once purified, would have had no more consciousness of sins.But in those sacrifices there is a reminder of sins every year. For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and goats could take away sins.”  Hebrews 10:1-4

“By that will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. And every priest stands ministering daily and offering repeatedly the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins. But this Man, after He had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down at the right hand of God,”  Hebrews 10:10-12

“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.No more shall every man teach his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, ‘Know Yehovah,’ for they all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them, says Yehovah. For I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more.”  Jeremiah 31:31-34

God spoke these words to Jeremiah over 500 years before Messiah Yeshua came. It has always been Gods plan. Total forgiveness is His plan! Jesus is the Lamb! The great news is that after He gave His life, He was raised from the dead! That is why we celebrate Resurrection Day every year. Hallelujah to the Lamb!

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem and deliverance from her enemies!

Why Have Jews Lasted 4,000 Years?

27 03 2025

Do the Jews exist because they are holier than other people? How have they survived as a people for 4,000 years? Many hundreds of nations and people groups have come and gone never to be seen again. How does this one Jewish nation do it? The fact is that it was not them, it was God who did it. They inherited the land because of God’s unconditional promises to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. The land is given to them by Yehovah God “for all time!”

“And because He loved your fathers, therefore He chose their descendants after them; and He brought you out of Egypt with His Presence, with His mighty power, driving out from before you nations greater and mightier than you, to bring you in, to give you their land as an inheritance, as it is this day. Therefore know this day, and consider it in your heart, that Yehovah Himself is God in heaven above and on the earth beneath; there is no other. You shall therefore keep His statutes and His commandments which I command you today, that it may go well with you and with your children after you, and that you may prolong your days in the land which Yehovah your God is giving you for all time.”  Deuteronomy 4:37-40

This is an unconditional promise. It is based on God’s unchangeable character. God cannot lie. He must restore Israel to their land for His own integrity. God is truth. The people did indeed sin in many generations, even worshipping the Baal gods with baby sacrifice. Yet, He keeps bringing them back to His mercy and forgiveness. Ezekiel 36 literally details His promised restoration in our day, after they were scattered to “all the countries.” Genesis 12 is to Abraham. Genesis 26:3 is to Isaac. He renewed the promise again to Jacob in Genesis 28:13-14.

“Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion! For behold, I am coming and I will dwell in your midst,” says Yehovah. “Many nations shall be joined to Yehovah in that day, and they shall become My people. And I will dwell in your midst. Then you will know that Yehovah of hosts has sent Me to you. And Yehovah will take possession of Judah as His inheritance in the Holy Land, and will again choose Jerusalem. Be silent, all flesh, before Yehovah, for He is aroused from His holy habitation!”  Zechariah 2:10-13

Christians understand that if God gave us what we deserve it would be. death, because all have sinned and are guilty before God. It is only through the blood of Messiah Yeshua (Jesus) that we are forgiven. The same is true for Israel Romans 11 tells the beautiful story of Israel’s restoration. They too would be lost if not for our merciful God and His Messiah Son!

“For I am Yehovah, I do not change; Therefore you are not consumed, O sons of Jacob.”  Malachi 3:6

God will save Israel and grant their inheritance in the land because He promised it! God is faithful! He will keep His word.

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem and pray for rain for the land.

God Present With Gaza Hostages

20 03 2025

Sorry I missed my blog last week. I have returned from the rain forests of Puerto Rico.

Wonderful testimonies are coming out now from Israeli hostages saved from Gaza terrorists. They spoke of miracles, His presence with them, and new found faith in God. Several Bible verses are seen in this real life story of God revealing Himself to them while in captivity. One testified that a small bottle of grape juice never ran out or spoiled. Our 21rst century first-world problems are about stress, frustration with traffic or the high cost of eggs. It is difficult to put ourselves in the shoes of a terrorist hostage. They were beaten, starved, cursed, and expected sudden death daily. Some suffered over 500 days and some are still there. Click on this CBN story headline for more details:

Testimonies of Faith: God’s Presence in the Darkness of Gaza Captivity – How does faith survive in the darkest depths of despair? Even more remarkably, how does someone find faith while held captive and chained in a tunnel 50 meters underground? Former Israeli hostages are sharing extraordinary testimonies of faith and resilience, echoing the experiences of biblical heroes like Daniel, Esther, and Paul.

Hostage Shem Tov (505 days) shared: “During my captivity, I felt every prayer you prayed for me; and even in the darkness, I had light.” This verse was fulfilled for him personally!

“Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.”  Psalm 23:4 ESV

“So be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid and do not panic before them. For Yehovah your God will personally go ahead of you. He will neither fail you nor abandon you.”  Deuteronomy 31:6 NLT

Another verse was quoted by several hostages that has a vital connection to Biblical faith. There is deeper revelation in this short verse. First, it declares that Yehovah lives, but it also reveals a great truth about His nature. The last word, “one” carries a fascinating revelation of God that few have considered.

“Hear, O Israel: Yehovah our God, Yehovah is one!”  Deuteronomy 6:4

The Hebrew word for “one” here is “echad.” It means a plurality or unity of one. It is used in Genesis where man and woman are “one” flesh. It is also used of the twelve tribes as “one” nation. Why is this important? The use of “echad” indicates that God is a plurality of one, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Another Hebrew word that was notably NOT used is the word for one, “yachid,” which means an “indivisible one.” Man was created in God’s image: spirit, soul, and body. We have three dimensions as well! The very next verse seems to confirm this.

“You shall love Yehovah your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength.”  Deuteronomy 6:5

Again, the three parts of man are mentioned. We need to pray, not only for the remaining hostages, but for those already released who need healing and restoration. Also, continue to pray for the salvation of both Jews and Arabs. God is very much speaking to them in their trials. Pray that they hear His voice!

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem, wisdom for the leaders, and an end to the war.

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 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.

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!

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!

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!

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.

Beepers, Walkie Talkies, and the Bible

19 09 2024

beeper pics

Over 5,000 Hezbollah casualties hit with pinpoint precision by the unprecedented surprise attack. Virtually every single one was a terrorist. Some are comparing it to the preemptive Six Day War wipeout of Egypt and Syria’s air force. Please remember one clear background fact. Hezbollah has fired over 8,000 rockets into Israel since the October 7th massacre eleven months ago, which included dozens of rapes of Israeli wives and daughters. War in Lebanon is on the brink.

Does this relate at all to the Bible? Is it connected to prophecy? Israel Today linked the pagers to the rape of Dinah in Genesis 34.

“Now Dinah the daughter of Leah, whom she had borne to Jacob, went out to see the daughters of the land. And when Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite, prince of the country, saw her, he took her and lay with her, and violated her.”  Genesis 34

After the Hivite man had defiled Dinah, Jacob’s sons agreed to peace with the Hivites if they would circumcize all their males to which it was agreed. Then on the third day, while they were still in pain, Simeon and Levi killed every male and took a spoil. This may be the pattern that Israel is pursuing today.

Today, as I write, it is the third day since the pager attack. If not today, then soon Israel will enter Lebanon to enforce UN Resolution 1701 which ended the 2006 Lebanon War. It was agreed for a buffer zone of 10-20 miles from Israel’s border north to the Litani River in Lebanon and the complete disarmament of Hezbollah. This never happened and Hezbollah uses that buffer zone to fire rockets and even to prepare the same kind of invasion that Hamas did from Gaza. Israel simply cannot allow it and must at least push them back to the River.

Now it came to pass on the third day, when they were in pain, that two of the sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi, Dinah’s brothers, each took his sword and came boldly upon the city and killed all the males. And they killed Hamor and Shechem his son with the edge of the sword, and took Dinah from Shechem’s house, and went out. The sons of Jacob came upon the slain, and plundered the city, because their sister had been defiled.”  Genesis 34

Thus says the Lord Yehovah: “When I have gathered the house of Israel from the peoples among whom they are scattered, and am hallowed in them in the sight of the Gentiles, then they will dwell in their own land which I gave to My servant Jacob. And they will dwell safely there, build houses, and plant vineyards; yes, they will dwell securely, when I execute judgments on all those around them who despise them. Then they shall know that I am Yehovah their God.”  Ezekiel 28:25-26

A few points to remember from Amir Tsarfati’s Telegram channel:

🔸 Hezbollah is an Iranian-proxy terrorist organization.

🔸 Like Hamas, Hezbollah also has genocidal intentions to annihilate Israel, which they have made repeatedly clear and have sought to act out on those intentions.

🔸 Hezbollah joined Hamas on Oct 8th and has since fired over 8,500 rockets at Israel, with daily attacks.

🔸 43 people in Israel have been murdered in the Hezbollah attacks, including 12 children in the Majdal Shams massacre.

🔸 Over 80,000 Israelis have also been displaced from the north of the country, as a result of ongoing Hezbollah fire.

🔹 Accordingly, Israel is fully entitled under international law, including but not limited to Art. 51 of the UN Charter, to exercise its right to self-defense.

🔹 If the pager attack today was indeed carried out by Israel (albeit that has not been confirmed and no proof provided), this response was carried out fully in accordance with international law, including principles of proportionality.

After generations of terror, Hezbollah finally suffered a reckoning – Thousands of terrorists were hit in the single greatest targeted attack on an Islamic terror group.

“They are panicking. They can’t stop talking about it!” – Israel surveys Western and especially Arab media reactions to the stunning pager attacks on Lebanon’s Hezbollah.

Israel offers to end war, let Sinwar leave if all hostages freed at once, Gaza disarmed – Proposal, discussed in Washington recently, also stipulates new regime for Strip; hostages’ relatives hail plan, but Hamas official swiftly rejects it as ‘ridiculous’

More than ever we need to pray for wisdom and courage for Israel’s leaders and that they will listen to Yehovah God for direction.

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem and rain as we begin the rainy season.

Bonus read from Amjad Taha, a political strategist and analyst from the UAE who wrote on X:

“You dared to strike at a smart and courageous nation on October 7th—committing genocide, kidnapping their children, and violating their women. You thought they would fall, but they rose again, returning after 11 months to correct what had only momentarily slipped—their intelligence. Now, they will send you back 1,000 years, to a time without technology, where a ringtone feels like a death knell and a beep is a nightmare. You will be haunted by your own shadow, too afraid to use any technology, cut off from the advanced world. And they will defeat you—not with bullets or tanks, but through the unbreakable will of brave, intelligent people. Over a simple cup of coffee, with one decisive click, they will seal your fate, and the fate of anyone who dares harm their children. This is a nation the world respects. Lebanon—Hezbollah’s pager attacks and today’s V82 strike are not merely military victories; they represent a triumph for the Middle East over radicalism—a victory not only for Israel but for all who stand against terror.” – Amjad Taha, a political strategist and analyst from the UAE, United Arab Emirates

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!

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.

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.
