Where in Jerusalem Was King David's Domain? ✡ "David Took the Stronghold of Zion" - ISRAEL365

Nevertheless David took the stronghold of Zion;
the same is the City of David

וַיִּלְכֹּד דָּוִד אֵת מְצֻדַת צִיּוֹן--הִיא עִיר דָּוִד

שמואל ב ה:ז
va-yil-kod da-vid ayt m'-tzu-dat tzi-yon hee eer da-vid

King David's palace was amazingly discovered in the City of David, just outside the present walls of the Old City of Jerusalem. After years of archaeological excavations, an ancient Canaanite fortress was uncovered at this site as well. As today's verse describes, when King David entered the city he conquered the "stronghold of Zion" from the pagan Jebusites, quite possibly this very fortress discovered thousands of years later! By wearing a piece of jewelry from the City of David, you carry the ancient biblical world with you, each gorgeous replica copying archaeological findings to the most minute detail.

Far-Flung Tribe of Indian Jews Prepares Matzah for Passover

The Bnei Menashe community across the remote northeastern Indian state of Manipur have begun preparing for Passover this week. On Thursday, the community baked matzah, the traditional unleavened bread of Passover at the Shavei Israel Hebrew Center in Churachandpur.



Why do We Bless Wine at the Onset of Shabbat?


The Sages, in their understanding of Exodus 20:9 instructed that the sanctification of the Sabbath and other Holy Days be accompanied by wine. They also instructed that the "Kiddush" or sanctification be made over the wine at the onset of the Sabbath, before the Sabbath meal. By reciting the "Kiddush"- the blessing over wine on the Sabbath, we proclaim the sanctity of the Sabbath day. The wording of the blessing that we recite over the wine mentions both the creation of the world and the redemption from Egypt as examples of God's grandeur. Lastly, Kiddush proclaims the beauty of the day of rest which is about to come. Watch to find out more!

Is This Dream From God? - MAUREEN D. EHA CHARISMA MAGAZINE

Here's how God brought to pass the dreams of some of our heroes in the Bible.

Is This Dream From God?



Here's how God brought to pass the dreams of some of our heroes in the Bible. (Roksolana Zasiadko)

Spirit-Led Woman
Nearly 10 years ago, after having been saved and Spirit-filled for 14 years, I experienced a personal revival. Many truths in God's Word became revelation to me, and I learned to live more according to the Spirit than according to the flesh. During this season, I came to understand that God had created me for a unique destiny.
I was SO excited! For the first time in my life, I had purpose—a true sense of calling. As I continued to press into God, He began to speak to me through dreams, visions and prophetic words about the things He would have me do.
He even began to move me in the direction I would need to go to fulfill some of the words. Though they had nothing to do with ruling and reigning, I felt as Joseph must have after he had received supernatural input about his future.
What I didn't know was that, like Joseph, I too was headed for a pit. It was a figurative rather than a literal one—but it was nevertheless a place of betrayal and rejection that caused me much disillusionment and pain.
I couldn't make sense of my experience or find a resolution for it. Slowly but surely the dreams began to fade, and the desire I had to become all God wanted me to be fizzled out.
By His grace, I didn't completely give up at this point; I kept running to Him. And when I pressed in to study His Word, I saw something. I wasn't the only one who had experienced the death of a vision on the way to fulfillment! Many characters in the Bible went through a similar time in their journeys.
Moses was appointed by God to be a leader of His people—to bring the Israelites out of Egypt. He didn't ask for the job; in fact, he resisted it. But once God convinced him of his call, he took the necessary steps to begin walking in it.
What happened? Every time he appealed to Pharaoh to "let God's people go," Pharaoh said, "No." It's a little difficult to lead a group of people if you can't get them moving in the right direction! Moses must have wondered whether he had really heard God about the appointment in the first place.
Joseph dreamed that he would rule over his own family; then he was sold by his brothers as a slave. In any society, a slave is a far cry from a ruler! And his chances of fulfilling his destiny got even slimmer when he was thrown in prison for something he didn't do.
David was anointed as a young boy to be king over the Israelites, but he spent the next 15 years trying to stay alive long enough to make it to the throne. He probably thought Saul, the reigning king, would be the one to train him up and prepare him for the job; instead, Saul sought to kill him.
David must have felt the prophet Samuel had made a big mistake in pouring the anointing oil over his head. The way things were going, he was more likely to become mincemeat at the end of a sword than the next king!
Paul was called as an apostle to the Gentiles. He traveled all over Asia preaching the gospel—until he was apprehended and put in jail. Suddenly, his ministry travels came to a screeching halt. How was he supposed to reach the people God had sent him to?
Perhaps you are in the place today that these godly characters once were, trying to hang on by a thread to a promise or a vision or a prophetic word and wondering why the realization of it seems so impossible—or at least far away. Perhaps you are feeling, as I did, as if you can't go on.
Don't worry. You aren't responsible for putting the wind back in your own sails. "For God is the One working in you, both to will and to do His good pleasure" (Phil. 2:13). He is responsible for taking you from the promise to the presentation of it. And He knows that the season in between—the time of preparation—is often difficult.
But He also knows what it will take for you to carry out the commission He has given you, and He wants to be certain you are prepared for the task. He uses the time of preparation to patiently and carefully equip you, going so far as to work all things together for your good so that His purposes ultimately will prevail (Rom. 8:28).
We don't know for certain all that God had to work into—or out of—the biblical characters I mentioned to make them ready for their destinies. But we do know the end results.
Moses led God's people out of Egypt and through the wilderness to the brink of the promised land. Joseph was named second in command to the highest ruler in the nation. David became king over all Israel—not just over one of the two kingdoms. Paul wrote letters while in jail, now called "epistles," that have "spoken" to Gentiles and believers alike for centuries as a part of the New Testament.
Did these men fulfill their destinies? You bet they did! And you will too. The Bible tells us that "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever" (Heb. 13:8), so you can rest assured that God will do for you what He did for them.
Don't let the season of preparation discourage you or dampen your faith. Don't let it obscure your vision. Hang on! If you have a promise, you'll see the presentation—just like all the saints who have gone before.

Totally New View of Israel's Most Popular Destination ✡ "And King David Was Old" - ISRAEL365

And King David was old and advanced in years, and they covered him with clothes, but he was not warmed.

I KINGS (1:1)

וְהַמֶּלֶךְ דָּוִד זָקֵן בָּא בַּיָּמִים וַיְכַסֻּהוּ בַּבְּגָדִים וְלֹא יִחַם לוֹ

מלכים א א:א


v'-ha-me-lekh da-vid za-kayn ba ba-ya-meem va-y'-kha-su-hu ba-b'-ga-deem v'-lo yi-kham lo

Today's Israel Inspiration

In the Bible there are three who are described as "old and advanced in years" - Abraham, Joshua and David. All their days were filled with righteousness and old age was their crown of glory. King David ruled over Israel until his last days, but he did not age without suffering. His body became cold and could not be warmed. Today, Colel Chabad, Israel's oldest continuous charity since 1788, helps widows and orphans and desperate seniors with winter warmth. As a major winter storm hits Israel this week, help to deliver emergency aid -- blankets, groceries, heaters, hot meals and medicine -- to elderly shut-ins and anyone at risk.

Israeli Mayors Give High Praise to Colel Chabad

This inspiring video takes you to all corners of Israel, where food packages and support make their way to the homes of Israel's neediest.

Hundreds of Life-Saving Home Heaters Delivered to Israel’s Most Destitute

Colel Chabad has begun its annual delivery of hundreds of space heaters and hot meals to destitute Israelis. But the poverty stricken cannot afford to run the heaters, even if they have them.

Olive Wood Pendants

These fabulous olive wood pendant necklaces with the Star of David come in two sizes, small and large. Both sizes have a flat olive wood base, in all of the wood’s striking, unique coloring, and have a pewter Star of David appended to the front to adorn it. The pendants come with a leather cord, a strong way of hanging a bold pendant around one’s neck.

Morris E. Ruddick - GAME CHANGERS - SIGN


Morris & Carol Ruddick

SIGN

GAME CHANGERS
 
(c) Morris E. Ruddick
 
 
"Ask Me of things to come concerning My sons and concerning the work of My hands, you command Me." Isaiah 45:11
 
Isaiah prophesied this amazing word for Cyrus centuries before Cyrus' birth. The time of Cyrus was critical for God's people. Cyrus was raised up by God as a champion-warrior-leader. He would serve as God's chosen vessel to bring about a paradigm shift. His mantle would radically change the game plan to release a new day for God's people.
 
This prophecy indicates that although Cyrus had not known the Lord that he would. When that happened, his destiny as a game-changer through God would manifest.
 
In this context, the Lord instructs Cyrus to ask Him about His people and His purpose for them. With those bases covered, God indicates that Cyrus would then be given an authority from heaven to accomplish these things. So it came to pass.
 
We have come through a time in which we've been instructed in faith. We've learned about the gifts. We've become acquainted with the prophetic and the importance of hearing from God to get His instructions. Yet, God's purposes are always progressive and focused on the big-picture fullness of His plan for His people.
 
Not unlike the days of Cyrus, God today is again raising up game-changers to accomplish His purposes. Like Cyrus some will come from outside the community of faith. It portends a time of restoration.
 
For some, it will be as water on parched ground. For others, they won't get it and will even resist it, being so entrenched in their own ways. For them it will be like the generation that Moses led out of Egypt, who failed to flow with His purposes resulting in them neither understanding the shift nor seeing what was promised.
 
David was a game-changer, as was Moses and Joseph. Each were called, anointed and prepared for times in which God was restoring the forward momentum of His ancient plan for His people.
 
Prior to the cross, Jesus told His inner circle, that they had not chosen Him, but that He had selected them. So it will be for today's game changers. The modern-day game changers God is raising up will bring restoration the Lord covets for His people. This mantle will be endued with unusual authority. But the pathway is not an easy one.
 
Power and Blindness
David went against the grain. He was misunderstood. He was chosen by God when the desires of the people to be like everyone else had hit a peak. That was and continues as the trap. It is an identity thing, but it is more than the community's identity with God. "Being like everyone else" masks and erodes God's power among His people, emasculating the purity of its application.
 
With Saul, Israel had the king they wanted, yet they and Saul remained blind to the heart of God. This was the community context, the spiritual climate and the uphill challenge faced by David on his path to becoming a game-changing champion of God.
 
David wrote over half the psalms. Many described those from Saul's armies who were tracking down and attempting to destroy him as "wicked." Such responses from the household of faith are not unusual for ones who bear a game-changing mantle.
 
Game changers are pathfinders, ones who illuminate the path for others to follow. Joseph triggered the ire of his brothers who resented his spiritual sensitivity and betrayed him. Those blind to God's direction and purposes tend to become enraged and seek to destroy those anointed to take things beyond their ensnared view of things.
 
There's a cost to operating outside the box. Jesus did and was quick to expose hypocrisy. He clearly said the litmus test would be evident by one's fruits. True fruits are derived from those whose mantles have undergone the rigors of a baptism of fire.
 
That means challenging prevailing mind-sets. It means a higher standard for the ones sent to restore the pathway of human efforts fallen short. Despite having the opportunity for retribution against Saul, David refused to touch God's anointed. Joseph's prescient prophetic gift enabled him to perceive and act on opportunity that would bring results beyond the realm of time. God's perspective in the deliverance of his brothers went toward the future fulfillment of God's covenant with Abraham.
 
The Distinctive of Game-Changers
The distinctive of the game-changer is the honor of the warrior. It is the bond that is willing to die (John 15:13) for the cause of those and the One served. It is the distinctive marked by a wide gap between true warriors and those wearing masks.
 
Jesus despised the phonies, but lauded those without pretense who bore the honor of warriors. Discerning the destinies in those he selected for His inner circle, he chose ones with warrior hearts. He told the religious phonies that prostitutes and tax-collectors would grasp the truth he unveiled and enter the Kingdom before them.
 
Jesus led by example. He stated that He had a baptism to be baptized with and how distressed He was until it was accomplished (Luke 12:50). While game-changers will be misunderstood, they cannot respond personally. When Jesus said His followers would lead by serving, He was describing the heart of a warrior, ones not swayed by the approval of men, but rather impelled by the quest to do the right thing and go to the wall for the truth they served. That distinctive involves the employment of power, righteous power in corrupt settings. These are the ones who will make a difference.
 
Western Christendom is plagued with wannabes and zealots, ones who have never experienced a baptism of fire. Without the baptism of fire, the zeal is without knowledge. Warriors in the natural are quick to identify those they want along side them in battle. While sound training is paramount, it is those who have transcended the ranks of the phonies, wannabes and zealots and emerged from their baptism of fire with the bond of the warrior, willing to face the ultimate test for their brethren.
 
They are ones who can be counted on when the going gets tough. It is why God chose Cyrus long before he was born. It is why Jesus was amazed at the heart of the Centurion and his grasp of the essentials bearing on the spiritual.
 
Spiritually, the cost for game-changers is where faith and the realities of the unseen world collide. Before his martyrdom, Dietrich Bonhoeffer made frequent mention of cheap grace. He lived by what he believed. He was a catalyst in the remnant German church that stood behind the Jewish people and withdrew from the acquiescing church aligned with Hitler. For hypocritical phonies and wannabes, words are cheap and their goals short-sighted. They misdirect and mask the realities. Deceit is driven by evil (Prov 12:20) and undermines otherwise upright intentions. Idle words and deceit fuel this blindness and tend to proliferate to take on a life of their own.
 
Spiritual Myopia and Idle Words
This is why Jesus made it clear that we would be held responsible for every idle word. This issue involves the misuse of power, the inclination of those untested under real fire, to misdirect their authority to condemn and find fault. Protecting their turf, they stamp out anything contrary to their own limited perspectives. Claiming their actions to be of God and succumbing to a Judas spirit, they indulge themselves in self righteously responding blindly to God's blueprint in others.
 
The idle words referred to by Jesus are evidence of spiritual myopia, whether knowingly or unknowingly, that opposes God's plan and purpose. Idle words not only are defined by and mask deceit and falsehood, but operate within a regular practice of gossip, compromise, self-serving exaggeration and hearsay. Such practices are at the core of what empowers the wicked and dilutes the efforts of the truly righteous.
 
Saul and most of his subjects suffered extreme cases of spiritual myopia. It was the same with Joseph's brothers. Jesus discerned the myopia and phony destructiveness in the idle words of the religious rulers against the righteous, whose destinies Jesus affirmed against their condemnations.
 
Idle words are aligned with those David describes as "bringing down and slaying those whose ways are upright." They hinder and reflect deceit. They are critical and seek destruction. Misuse of the prophetic that overlooks mercy and is predisposed to only discern judgment and calamity can fall into the stronghold marked by idle words.
 
The truly righteous are called to a path of honor. They bring about restoration, not being ensnared and defined by those who misunderstand and are intent on their destruction. They are first-responders taking up the mantle that brings restoration to God's people.

"Love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust." Matthew 5:44-45
 
It is the application of such Kingdom principles, to overcome evil with good that ensures vengeance remains with the Lord which opens the gates into the supernatural power required when the game is to be changed, when a line against evil is to be drawn in the sand.
 
It is revealing that during the rise of Hitler, that although Hitler's inner circle was strongly occult and anti-Christian, that he publicly gave church leaders just enough to harness and then align the German church with his evil purposes. In this he embedded a new level of the wedge of replacement theology. The righteous standard is never to be compromised. Hitler knew he couldn't stand against the church without a major infiltration of its ranks. Hitler's intent was for a non-dissenting church standing behind his Third Reich. He understood the power to be gleaned from usurping the anointing.
 
So it has been over the centuries that unrighteous power and wickedness from within the community of faith have fueled unrighteous power and wickedness outside the household of faith. The playbook for this scheme is the passion of God's people for acceptance, to be like everyone else.
 
Yet, when the cosmic struggle that has plagued creation since Adam and Eve reaches this stage, we learn that like in the case of Cyrus, God has already foreordained and prepared the game changers. From the time God has had a people the game changers have been those who have embraced a process.
 
This process discerns the heart of God and maps out the path to release His authority into the steps toward His plan of restoration.
 
The Heart, Authority and Sphere
Having discerned and embraced the heart of God, game changes face an alignment with the authority of God. This alignment holds to a critically fine line. It is where the costs are paid and the challenges faced.
 
The sphere, described in 2 Corinthians 10, is the boundary of the calling, which in turn denotes the boundary of the authority. The sons of Heth in answering Abraham recognized him as one with the authority of a prince. So it was that Joseph, Daniel and Moses were each groomed by God as His righteous representatives with an authority that was at the court level of the rulers of their days.
 
Jesus stated that those who loved their lives would lose it. David breeched this threshold. In facing Goliath, he risked everything. His face-off with Goliath wasn't a game. It was mortal combat in which only one victor would emerge alive. Against all odds in the natural, David assumed the cost for the sphere and then proceeded with his heart aligned with the heart and authority of God. Then for all to hear and then witness he proclaimed: "Who is this uncircumcised Philistine to defy the Armies of God?" When God is defied and His champions arise, everything changes.
 
Game changers pay the cost for the sphere and mantle in which they are called to operate. It is not a superstar thing, as dependence must be solely and completely on God.
 
For Joseph, the cost was 13 years as a slave and prison inmate with an unblemished identity in God. For Daniel, it was the unwavering public honor that he ascribed to God in the court of a king surrounded by the best of the best of the sorcerers of that day. For Moses, it was his face-off as God's ambassador with the idolatrous Pharaoh who unrighteously was repressing God's people. For David, it was years of abusive rejection despite his unquestioned loyalty and service.
 
The Paradigm Shift
With the game changers in motion, the paradigm is going to shift. This is the groundswell of what is described in Isaiah 60 when it says the wealth of the seas will be turned to Israel and God's covenant people. With the shift, God's authority and power operating through the game changers will bridge into the supernatural.
 
With the mounting pressures, accurately grasping the heart and timing of God is vital. The models and strategies acceptable a generation ago will be superseded by the new, as the power and impact from the Lord multiplies exponentially. Unlike the corrupt power manifesting, God's righteous power and strategies have always masterfully anticipated the plans and intents of the evil one.
 
What is pertinent for this hour is the role of the Josephs and Daniels in setting the stage for the alliances with the Pharaohs and Cyruses of today. Joseph was deeply embedded and trusted within the world's system. Daniel, also operated within the courts of a pagan ruler who gave honor to Daniel's faith and the God of Israel.
 
However, for each, before the game could be changed, the spiritual climate had to shift. Although scripture doesn't say so specifically, I am convinced that the dreams Pharaoh had were the result of Joseph's prayers. I likewise believe that Daniel's intercessions were the catalysts for the progressive climate changes in Babylon preceding the game change that took place through Cyrus.
 
Both Joseph and Daniel were instrumental in the game change to the benefit of God's people. Their roles and the authority with which they operated supernaturally were the actuators for the paradigm shifts that took place. Both spiritually and in the natural, they embodied God's heart and became His ambassadors of restoration.
 
The Dividing Asunder
The matrix, the pure matrix of the game changer is embracing His heart and purpose for His sons, for those who face the fire to bear His identity. It will be as Isaiah spoke through the dimension of time to Cyrus: "Ask of Me of things to come concerning My sons and concerning the work of My hands, command you Me." It is a day in which the words of David will manifest prophetically as the paradigm shifts.

"Although the wicked may draw their swords and bend their bows, to bring down and slay those whose ways are upright, their bows will be broken and their swords will pierce their own hearts." Psalm 37:14
 
Proverbs 3 notes that the root of the righteous cannot be moved. One translation expresses that the truly righteous will never be uprooted. A sequence of scripture from Proverbs 12 then unveils the intense drama underway and the role of words in this struggle, and with it, the outcome for the righteous.
 
It states the plans of the righteous are just but the advice of the wicked is treacherous. It further reveals that the words of the wicked entrap, but the words of the upright will deliver them. It concludes by stating that the wicked will be ensnared by their own words, but the righteous will escape from trouble, so that the wicked are overthrown and are no more, but that the house of the righteous will stand.
 
Jesus changed the game. He raised the bar and brought perspective and understanding to those who yearned for the Kingdom, for the fulfillment of God's promises to Abraham. He bridged the natural with the spiritual and unveiled God's heart. He went against the grain and told his followers to do the same and more, and to do it with love and with truth at the helm. He defined love as He demonstrated it, by giving up His life for His friends.
 
So it is for the times upon us. Jesus said many are called but few are chosen. The crucible has been applied in the preparation. The days are now here when the visions will be fulfilled.

"Oh God, do not remain silent and do not be still. For your enemies make an uproar and those who hate you have exalted themselves. They make shrewd plans against your people. They conspire together against your treasured ones. They have said, 'Come and let us wipe them out that the name of Israel be remembered no more.' They conspire together with one mind. Against You they make a covenant. Make them like the whirling dust. Like the fire in the forest, so pursue with your tempest and terrify them with Your storm. Fill their faces with dishonor, that they may know that You alone, whose Name is the Lord are the Most High over all the Earth."
Psalm 83:1-5, 13-16, 18
