Just like the Bible said would happen - ONE FOR ISRAEL

SHALOM! Anti-Semitism is increasing around the world, just as we are told to expect in the Scriptures. As this age draws to a close, we are told that the nations will turn against Israel, and that Jerusalem will become a stumbling block to the peoples. Instead of being afraid or hostile towards those who rage against Israel, it's important for us to know how to explain the truth about God's heart and plans for his people and his land.

It has been their faith all along, if you believe that Yeshua is the Messiah spoken of in the Hebrew Scriptures.The faith is rooted in Judaism. When a Jewish person accepts Yeshua they have a fuller understanding of their own faith, not somebody else’s. And that is what we in ONE FOR ISRAEL are seeking to see. Continue reading... Jesus a Palestinian?! Palestinian activist, Linda Sarsour, might have made big waves by saying that Jesus was a Palestinian, but the claim isn’t new.
