"From the Beginning of the Year" ✡ Fireworks over Jerusalem - ISRAEL365

It is a Land that the Lord, your God, seeks out; the eyes of the Lord, your God, are always upon it, from thebeginning of the year to end of year.

DEUTERONOMY (11:12)
 

אֶרֶץ אֲשֶׁר יְ-הוָה אֱ-לֹהֶיךָ דֹּרֵשׁ אֹתָהּ תָּמִיד עֵינֵי יְ-הוָה אֱ-לֹהֶיךָ בָּהּ
מֵרֵשִׁית הַשָּׁנָה וְעַד אַחֲרִית שָׁנָה

דברים יא:יב

e-retz a-sher a-do-nai e-lo-he-kha do-raysh o-ta ta-meed ay-nai a-do-nai e-lo-he-kha ba may-ray-sheet ha-sha-na v'-ad a-kha-reet sha-na

Shabbat Inspiration

Did you know that according to Judaism, the year we are now in is really 5776, and is counted from Creation and the birth of Adam? An unbelievable lesson emerges from the wisdom of biblical Hebrew and the word for man, ‘Adam,’ which stands for Adam, David and Messiah. Jewish tradition teaches that the greatest man, the ultimate descendant of the very first Adam - the Messiah - will come from the lineage of King David who lived around the year 2900 from the creation of the world. King David was at the halfway point of history, and we now stand on the threshold of the Messianic age. In these days, bring blessings down to the world by standing with Israel and supporting her national blood bank, Heart to Heart, which saves lives throughout the Land and provides emergency medical care.
 

Blood for the Soldiers

Watch this amazing account of an Israeli soldier who was seriously injured by Hezbollah forces, and was ultimately saved after emergency surgery where he received 10 units of donated blood. Heart to Heart supplies 97% of Israel’s blood, and all of the blood of the Israel Defense Forces.

Billy Graham & Samaritan's Purse Donate 2 Ambulances to Israel

Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and Samaritan’s Purse donated two life-saving ambulances last month to Heart to Heart. The ambulances will be stationed in the northern Galilee and Golan Heights regions, and will help all Israelis, including Jews, Arabs, Christians, Druze and anyone else in need of care.
 

"Noah Ride the Wave" DVD of an Israeli Theatre Production

This 2-Disc DVD set is from the Israeli “Raise Your Spirits” theater company. It depicts the trials of Noah, the man destined to build an Ark that will save his family and the animal kingdom from God’s destructive flood.

Did You Notice America Saw No July 4th Fireworks Until It Was Dark Enough? - Bill Yount

Posted: 07 Jul 2015 
 While singing the song, 10,000 reasons, this verse gripped me, "Let me be singing when the evening comes." I don't know about you but I want to be singing when the evening comes. It's easy to sing in the morning but in the evening is when darkness sets in. Did you notice America saw no July 4th fireworks until it was dark enough? I can imagine 10,000 children asking their parents, "Daddy, Mommy, when will the fireworks start?" Parents in vain tried to explain to their children, "It's not dark enough!" I wonder if there's a blessing about darkness that we as God's children don't understand yet?

 Did you notice when the fireworks began you no longer focused on the dark night but were mesmerized by the awesome bright lights exploding, sounding like giant boom boxes penetrating the dark sky and shaking the earth? The darkness only enhanced and seemed to energize the fireworks as they danced on heaven's ceiling. As I watched, I sensed the Lord saying, "Bill, that's you! That's My people. The world will begin to see My people like fireworks in their darkest night.

 I'm setting the stage using the backdrop of gross darkness. So far the world has only heard the enemy play his out of tune instrument since he fell like lighting from heaven. He lost his place in the choir. But I have an orchestra about to be heard from in the nations. And this is the part where My grand finale comes in to be seen and heard from. My explosive fireworks will cause multitudes to look up and be in awe and draw them out of darkness. My salvation, healing, deliverance, and glory captivating those in darkness will begin to fall down upon them shaking the earth.

Keep singing and worshiping Me as the evening comes. You are My grand finale in the darkness.

Blessings,

Bill Yount

Massive Weapons cache Headed for Jerusalem Uncovered Among Christmas Decorations

jerusalem-boud-weapons
A massive amount of fireworks, knives and Tasers police believe were meant in part to be used by rioters clashing with police were seized last week by Jerusalem District detectives and officers from the Tax Authority and the Ashdod Port Customs, police announced on Thursday. Police said the seizure came after Jerusalem detectives ran an undercover investigation along with the tax and customs officials, during which they were able to track and seize two shipping containers which came to Ashdod by way of China. The fireworks were hidden among Christmas decorations inside the containers, which were intended for Arab residents of the largely Christian east Jerusalem neighborhood of Beit Hanina. Last Tuesday, three of the suspects arrived at the Ashdod Port and claimed the containers, and then drove with them on trailers to a storehouse in Afula, where they planned to unload the merchandise. They were then arrested at the spot before unloading the containers, as was the owner of the storehouse. Inside the containers police said they found 18,000 fireworks of the restricted 20mm variety, as well as 5,200 commando knives, 4,300 flashlights that can be modified into improvised Tasers, 5,500 Tasers, and 1,000 swords.
Fireworks have become a highly popular tool of rioters facing off with police and soldiers during riots in the Arab sector, in particular in East Jerusalem. The firecrackers, including large roman candles, are pointed horizontally towards police and soldiers and fired like ammunition. Some of the larger gauge fireworks can penetrate police protective gear at close range, including their plastic shields. All can cause severe burns and if some of the larger ones hit on the right spot, such as the neck, they can potentially be fatal. On Tuesday, the Knesset Economics Committee voted to ban the import of fireworks throughFebruary 15th, noting that the explosives had been used as weapons against security forces in clashes. "Fireworks have become a significant danger to the security forces and we must eliminate their use as a weapon," said committee vice chairman MK Karin Elharar (Yesh Atid). The expiration date on the limitation was put in place to ensure the ban did not excessively hurt importers, but the Yaron Mor, who chairs the forum of firework importers, noted that the ban might not be effective in and of itself. In testimony before the committee, he said that there were smuggled containers of fireworks in the country that could still fall into the wrong hands.
