Shalom!
The world is focused on political events like the summit in Paris, making decisions about the future of the Middle East. The situation is complicated and painful on all sides, and it's an important time to be praying for the area.
Yeshua cares more deeply for each Jew and Arab than any politician or activist ever could. Peace will only come through the Messiah, and it is God's plans that will ultimately succeed, as prophesied in the Scriptures.
Meanwhile, our friend Joel Rosenberg, a best-selling author, tells the big story which is not being broadcast on the news: God is powerfully at work in the Land!

Ido Meroz, a member of the Israel Caving Club, explained, "Just before we were about to return we suddenly noticed an engraving that at first glance seemed to be a menorah. When we realized this is an ancient depiction of a menorah, we became very excited". Continue reading...
A LITTLE WORD WITH A BIG MEANING
Have you ever wondered where the alphabet comes from? The first two letters of the Hebrew alphabet are "aleph" and "bet". But it is the first letter and the last letter that are used to denote the alphabet in shorthand... as we might write "ABC" for our alphabet, in Hebrew, "את" can be used: the first letter "aleph" (א) and the last letter, "tav" (ת).
Together these two letters spell a little word, "et" (את), that cannot be translated into any language. It's basically a way to link verbs and specific nouns, in a way unique to Hebrew.
