Dennis McLeod from New Zealand - "Chapter One and Chapter Two"

Dennis McClead and Steve Martin at the Billy Graham Library, May 31, 202,5 in Charlotte, North Carolina 


Hi y'all, the common phrase from Texas, I even have the hat to prove it. 

Yes, they may speak another language over there. A report will be forthcoming regarding the trip to the conference, but in the meantime, here is a thought from one of my many. 

Flights, from 50 minutes to 17 hours. No wonder I came down with a cold oncI was e ho;e, the elderly body may have needed a rest. 

Blessings to All,

Dennis McLeod 

Chapter One and Chapter Two 

During my recent trip to the Christian Friends of Israel conference in America, I sat next to a young secular Jewish man on one of the many flights. We spoke about the Bible, and something he said gave me something to think about. He referred to the Old and New Testaments, as we call them, as chapters one and two. Through this statement, I thought of the general novel one reads, and who reads. The second chapter ignores the first. 

In the modern church, there are a lot of people who totally disregard Chapter One as irrelevant; in fact, a lot of the rioting called peaceful protests, as stated by the MSM, are being carried out by people who claim to follow God's word. I can make this statement, as I have spoken to several on the protesters' line, who claimed to be Christians. In fact, I have come to the realization that the very reason many of these protests are carried out on Saturday is because many of those who are downvoting Israel on Saturday go to church on Sunday! 

 A similar occurrence has happened before in my life; eighty years ago, the same thing was happening. When a lady in a meeting says, the Jewish people have been suffering under the persecution of Christians, since the time of Jesus, we can't deny that this has taken place. A man who survived the Sobibor Death camp and the large escape, when a few hundred desperate people fled the horrors of the camp, was later murdered by the Polish Underground, just because he was Jewish. 

On my first visit to the Holocaust Memorial, Yad Vashem, in Jerusalem. I heard a young tour guide speaking to a large group of Israeli youth. As I listened, I heard several discourses about how the Christians had done this and how they had done that, none of which could be refuted. Many Jewish people who survived the Holocaust camps told of how the guards murdered their people in the chambers one day, then followed this up the next day with Christmas carols as they continued with their lives as if nothing had taken place.

 
Many of these atrocities have taken place because the church has failed to teach from the Word of God to bring the people into a Biblical understanding of the truth, instead directing the people into a world view of what you need to claim, and live a good life. However, to be good, there must be a standard by which to judge our morality and actions, of course. Even the true Bible Believer, this standard is the life of Jesus. However, in the modern age, people are always looking for someone to blame for the ills of their lives. 

Instead of directing the congregation to raise themselves to work to the standard of the positivity of Jesus. We have been taught to look down from our Ivory Tower to where our troubles have started and who possibly could have caused them. To cite a more recent example, this is what was done in Rwanda and Cambodia, and we are all aware of the consequences. Of course, we are saved by grace, but surely the words of Jesus should always be a focal point, as in p'ases such as 'take up your cross'and follow Me.' This should be a reminder to nevWorldok back [Luke 9:62] to the world, remembering whaLot'spened to Lot's wife when she did. [Genesis 19:26] 

 Yes, the reason we are here at this point in time is that we have been more than encouraged, in fact, we have been told, in many cases, to totally disregard the first chapter of the bookWhoeverer reads chapter 2 of a novel without reading the opening chapt, er whichlays typicallys out the introduction and plot of the story. 

But that is precisely what the church has done over the centuries. They have not only convinced the church population that chapter one is not essential, and even unnecessary, that everything in the chapter is bad, including the people, with stateme'ts tha' they 'killed' Jesus, and because of their disobedience, God has discarded them. Which could not be further from the truth, [Jeremiah. 31:35-3 31:35-3Thereere are far too many references to the contrary to list. 

Becausdon'tthis, we don't just have the attacks on the Jewish people today, we have many within the church rising up calling for the annihilation of a total race of people, just as Haman did in the time of Esther. [Esther 3:1-] Chapter one gives the rules and regulations on how to live and behave, preparing us for Chapter two. Chapter Two presents the very God'susion of God's plan and direction, preparing us for what is to come. We start with the beginning of the promise, if only we would follow the word in Chapter 1, which is followed by the fulfillment of the promise in Chapter 2. 

We have to God'sw all of 'od" word as 'All' Scripture is essential, not just the second chapter. [2 Timothy 3:16] To defeat the evil world, life, in society, and the World. How else can we be ready to speak of the hope we read about within the scripture, which is a light unto our path and a lamp unto our feet, [Psalm 119:105] which is written in Chapter One. 

We need to put on the whole armor of God, not just half of it! [Ephesians 6:10]- The cry in much of the world today is, they will destroy first the Saturday people and then the Sunday people. We are called, both Jew and Gentile, the people of the book. Arafa claimed that the PLO flag would fly from every Synagogue and Church. 

 We need toWorld the word up high for all thWorldld to see, Jew and Gentile together as one new man [Ephesians 2:15-16] with the dividing wall destroyed, divided we will fall, But walking arm in arm towards the Messiah as Messianics ready to applaud Him as He descends on to the Mount of Olives, will give us the strength to finish the race to receive the prize. [1 Corinthians 9:24] 

As laid out in both Chapter One and Chapter Two of the Bible. 

Amen

Rings of the Lord


I bought these rings in Jerusalem, Israel, two weeks ago. The ones who now wear them (my sister and her grandson) really like their rings. I bought all the Messianic One New Man rings David Saidian (my 84-year-old friend Abraham’s oldest) had in his shop on Ben Yehuda Street, near Danny Boy’s shop and Uri’s.
I bought eight for $28 each. I didn’t want a discount, but he gave me one anyway. I am supporting my Jewish friends in Israel as much as I can.

30 Jewish and Arab Pastors attend conference: "A Dangerous Calling!" - ONE FOR ISRAEL





Dr. Erez Soref, President of ONE FOR ISRAEL 
Shalom!

As we often say here at ONE FOR ISRAEL, "We have found the key to peace in the Middle East. Yeshua!"

"For He Himself is our peace, who made both groups into one and broke down the barrier of the dividing wall, by  abolishing in His flesh the enmity, which is the Law of commandments contained in ordinances, so that in Himself He might make the two into one new man, thus establishing  peace." (Ephesians 2:14-15)


Last month we held our annual conference for graduates of our MA in Pastoral Studies program. Here are several dozen senior pastors who have studied with us - Jewish Israelis, Arab Israelis, and Palestinians - who all love the Lord and love each other as well! 


Israel College of the Bible (ICB) is the only Bible college in Israel (and indeed the Middle East) where pastors, ministers, and leaders - Arab Israelis, Palestinians, and Messianic Jews - can study biblical and theological studies and serve the Lord together along with students from all over the world, all under one roof.

Sometimes the students enjoy each other so much that they don't want to stop meeting up and learning together! Such is the situation for the Senior Pastors' MA program, which has been running since 2014. Continue reading...

Scandal! The Little Drummer Boy was what?💡 - Ron Cantor Messiah's Mandate

Shalom!

Growing up, like many of you, I loved the Christmas specials—even though I was (and am) Jewish. With only 3 channels to choose from, the animated Holiday shows were a real treat. But my favorite of them all was "The Little Drummer Boy". However, it never dawned on me that it was a Jewish story about a Jewish boy.
Aaron, a kippa-wearing Jewish boy allows hate to fill his heart, after his parents are murdered. He only has connection with a lamb, a camel and donkey. Toward the end, Baba the lamb, is struck down by a Roman chariot and is dying. Aaron takes her to one of the Wise Men. But he says he can do nothing; he is merely a human king.
Instead little Aaron approaches the "baby wrapped in cloth and lying in a manger" because "in the town of David a Savior has been born to" him. Having no gift to present the King Messiah, he plays the drum his parents gave him. His lamb is healed in the presence of the Savior and hatred is removed from Aaron's heart.
Yes, the story is about a Jewish boy coming face to face with Jesus, the Jewish Messiah. Who says Jewish people can't believe in Yeshua?
My favorite version of the song
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5l1CS0Jhk90
Our finest gifts we bring
To lay before the King
So to honor Him
When we come
Little baby
I am a poor boy too
I have no gift to bring
That's fit to give our King
Shall I play for you
On my drum

Jim CLINT FAMILY UPDATE - Supporting the Aliyah of the Jewish people - October 2017 Northern Ireland

Supporting the Aliyah of the Jewish people

Northern Ireland

Shalom friends.

Firstly I’d like to thank all those who’ve been praying for us over this last month. The LORD has been keeping us busy here in Northern Ireland as we endeavour to support Jewish Aliyah. In mid-September 
we were blessed to have “D” an Ezra field representative visit us for a series of talks about her ministry. “D” is helping Jews to make Aliyah from countries where they face increasing hatred, please keep “D” 
in prayer.  

The Aid to Israel program is most certainly gathering pace. We’ve been in contact with many people who want to donate second-hand clothing to help needy Jewish immigrants arriving in Israel. I’ve been traveling to various locations to pick up aid, please pray for traveling mercies. 

(Photo: Jim loading boxes of aid for later shipment.)


This month I represented Ezra UK at the Bangor-Israel convention in the town of Bangor County Down. 
I had many conversations with Christians from all over Ireland about the need to support Aliyah in 
these crucial times.

Jim Clint - "My Ezra table at the Bangor-Israel convention" 

I’ve been sharing at different Christian church groups this month. I traveled to the town of Garvagh in County Londonderry to speak at the “Garvagh Gospel Extravaganza” I was encouraged to see how many dear folks are praying for the return of the Jewish people to their ancient homeland of Israel.

Please continue to pray for us.
