Graduate and undergraduate academic credit is available for study tour participants.

It would be a pleasure to have you join us for an adventure that we guarantee will be a memorable experience.

STAFF IN THE SPOTLIGHT: EVA FRANK

We are delighted to introduce you to Eva, our librarian at Israel College of the Bible. Eva is from a Jewish family who made aliyah from Hungary. After her BA degree in history, Eva went on to do a Masters in Library and Information Sciences at the University of Haifa, making her ideally qualified for the role. She has radically upgraded our cataloging and search system, transforming the library experience for our students. The library has over 10,000 books mostly in Hebrew and English, and is the largest Messianic library in Israel, so we are very blessed to have a professional like Eva at the helm.

Eva loves to learn and teach languages (she is currently learning Korean and teaching Hungarian), and is also learning Krav Maga - an Israeli method of self-defense without weapons! So our students better make sure to return their books on time ;)

THE SYMBOLISM OF FIGS IN THE BIBLE

God gives good gifts. When he gave Israel to the Jewish people, it was not just any old piece of land... God says in Deuteronomy 8:8,

"The Lord your God is bringing you into a good land... a land with wheat and barley, vines and fig trees, pomegranates, olive oil and honey".

There is so much richness in what God has created and placed in this land for his people - not just in their good taste and nutrition, but in their meaning too. And the fig is a fruit which crops up again and again in the scriptures, because God does nothing without purpose. Continue reading...

ARCHAEOLOGISTS UNCOVER EVIDENCE OF THE BABYLONIAN DESTRUCTION OF JERUSALEM

Did you know that both the first temple, built by King Solomon, and the also Nehemiah's second temple that Yeshua frequented, were both destroyed on the same date in the Jewish calendar?

That date is Tisha B'Av, which means the 9th month of Av, the fifth month in the Jewish calendar, and this year it falls on Tuesday, August 1st. With perfect timing, archaeologists have just now made some important discoveries related to the Babylonian destruction of the first temple in 586 BCE! Continue reading...

Was Solomon a Republican? News Magazine Attacks Rubio's Bible Tweets - CBN News Mark Martin, Abigail Robertson

Was Solomon a Republican? News Magazine Attacks Rubio's

Bible Tweets

07-11-2017 CBN News Mark Martin,

Abigail Robertson

Senator Marco Rubio likes to tweet Bible verses almost every day, but one news organization is accusing him of playing politics with the Holy Scriptures.

A recent article in Politico Magazine says Rubio is "tweeting the most Republican part of the Bible" -- Proverbs.

"Some of the statements in Proverbs look strikingly similar to those made by modern-day conservative policymakers," Joel S. Baden wrote for the magazine.

Baden goes on to write that Proverbs "generally deals with questions of how to live a righteous life."

"For example: Just this past July 5, Rubio tweeted, 'They will die from lack of discipline, lost because of their great folly. Proverbs 5:23,'" Baden continued.

In response, the Florida senator tweeted, "Proverbs is the Republican part of the Bible?I don't think Solomon had yet joined the GOP when he wrote the first 29 chapters of Proverbs."

Evangelist Franklin Graham came to the defense of Rubio, writing on Facebook, "God's Word is filled with wisdom — and it's neither Republican nor Democrat."

CBN Chaplain Joel Palser agrees with Graham's statement about God's Word.

"Probably the greatest theologian of the 20th century -- he's been called that -- Karl Barth... said it was timeless truth, and so the idea that it would somehow be owned by one party or another was ludicrous," he told CBN News.

"This is ageless, timeless -- applicable to every culture and time," Palser continued.

Rubio has received criticism of his biblical tweets in the past. For example, Leah McElrath, writer for liberal website Shareblue, called the tweets "unsettling," to which The Washington Post blogger Jennifer Rubin responded, "Either he was hacked or he's totally lost it."

Esquire politics blogger Charles Pierce called the tweets "oddly terrifying."

Many on Twitter, however, have come to Sen. Rubio's defense, saying they appreciate the Bible verses that have thousands of likes and retweets.

When asked on "Fox & Friends" what he thinks of some of the negative responses his tweets received, Rubio replied, "If people don't like the Bible and they don't like the Gospel, they don't have to follow me on Twitter I suppose."

The Florida lawmaker says he tries to read the Bible every day, and he will continue to post Scriptural tweets, "especially if there's something in there that I think just spoke to me, and I want to share with people on Twitter."

King Solomon's Enduring Wisdom ✡ "Put in His Heart" - ISRAEL365

And all the earth sought the presence of Shlomo, to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart.

I Kings 10:24 (The Israel Bible™)

וְכָל הָאָרֶץ מְבַקְשִׁים אֶת פְּנֵי שְׁלֹמֹה לִשְׁמֹעַ אֶת חָכְמָתוֹ אֲשֶׁר נָתַן אֱלֹהִים בְּלִבּוֹ

מלאכים א' י:כב

khokh-ma-TO a-SHER na-TAN e-lo-HEEM b’-li-BO

Today's Israel Inspiration

Rabbi Shlomo Aviner points out that today's verse represents a tremendous sanctification of God’s Name. Though King Solomon is the wealthiest, most powerful king of the time, this is not why he is sought out by the entire world. All humanity wishes to be in his presence because of the great wisdom that God has given him. This shows that the kingdom of Israel is unlike all other kingdoms; it is a holy kingdom. When Jewish leaders represent the highest levels of ethics and wisdom, they sanctify God’s name among all the inhabitants of the world. One of the most important traits of a Jewish leader is a thorough knowledge of God's teachings in the Bible. With eTeacher, you can learn not only to read, but to understand the depth of meaning behind each and every verse throughout the Hebrew Bible.

The Biblical Roots of the Word 'Hallelujah'

The English word "Hallelujah" is a Hebrew loanword: it came to us from Biblical Hebrew and has been absorbed in the exact same form in modern speech. But how did this come about?
