The Prophetic Truth Behind the Rapprochement Between the Pope and the Jews By Rivkah Lambert Adler - BREAKING ISRAEL NEWS

“Lying lips are an abomination to the LORD; but they that deal truly are His delight.” (Proverbs 12:22)
On the surface, it looks like Pope Francis and the Jews are cozying up to one another and becoming besties. Below the surface, an End of Days prophecy that pits Rome against Jerusalem is playing out.
That’s the contention of Rabbi Tovia Singer, a Jewish expert in both Hebrew and Christian Scripture and director of the counter-missionary organization, Outreach Judaism. Singer opens his case by noting the proximity of two recent news items.
Orthodox Rabbis Hold Out An Olive Branch
On December 3, 2015, the Center for Jewish Christian Understanding and Cooperation (CJCUC) issued a statement calling for increased cooperation between Jews and Christians. Rabbi Dr. Eugene Korn, Academic Director of CJCUC told Breaking Israel News, “The statement was addressed to the Jewish community primarily, and secondarily to the Christian community.
“Most of our statement referred to the developments in the Catholic Church (e.g. Nostra Aetate) but it also applies to all Christians and churches who are not actively converting Jews and acknowledge that the biblical covenant between God and the Jewish people is still a valid living covenant.”
Nostra Aetate, passed in 1965, is a declaration by the Catholic Church that the Jewish people of today are not responsible for the death of Jesus. The statement also condemns any expression of anti-Semitism and confirms that “God holds the Jews most dear.”
Korn further commented to Breaking Israel News, “Our statement was not coordinated with the Vatican or the Pope’s request in any explicit way. As Orthodox rabbis, we felt that after 50 years there was a need to express our position on the positive changes brought about by Nostra Aetate and the Church’s affirmation of the validity of the special covenantal relationship between God and the Jewish people, which is the foundation of Judaism.”
Vatican Tells Catholics to Stop Trying to Convert Jews
Just one week later, on December 10, 2015, the Vatican called on Catholics to stop missionizing Jews.
In an extended interview with Breaking Israel News, Singer explained that, while that gesture looked to many like the next stage of friendship between the Jewish people and the Catholic Church, the Vatican’s statement is essentially meaningless since “Roman Catholics haven’t evangelized Jews in 75 years.”
Singer acknowledged that the evangelical Christians who oppose the Vatican’s statement are theologically correct when they claim that Pope Francis is presenting a distorted view of a central Christian teaching. “The New Testament clearly tells that Jews are the primary audience [for conversion],” he told Breaking Israel News.
The end is near. Are you ready?
These two events – the peaceful statement of more than 50 Orthodox rabbis toward Catholicism and the Pope’s command to stop converting Jews – look to many like rapprochement. 

However, according to Singer, there’s a third, darker element that has been overlooked by most. This third element, which has prophetic implications, tells the real story of the Catholic Church’s agenda toward Israel.
Pope Makes Friends With Abbas
In May 2015, the Pope drew the Roman Catholic Church closer to the Palestinian Authority when he called PA President Mahmoud Abbas a man of faith and an angel of peace. A month later, in June 2015, the Vatican signed a treaty recognizing the State of Palestine.
Although the modern state of Israel was established in 1948, diplomatic relations between Israel and the Vatican were not established until 1993, 43 years after the founding of the State. Yet the Vatican has already recognized the State of Palestine, despite the fact that no such entity exists.
The Prophecy
According to Singer, the Pope recognizing the PA points to an End of Days prophecy that speaks of Edom (Rome) coming up against Jerusalem. The Jewish people’s conflict with Edom is discussed in the Book of Daniel (2:31-35) which speaks of four exiles of the Jewish people. Until the arrival of the Messiah, the Jewish people, even those who live in Israel, are still in the fourth exile, known as Galut Edom (the Exile of Rome)
The Exile of Rome began when the Romans destroyed the Second Temple in the year 70 CE, and continues until today. It will only end in the Messianic days, when the Third Temple is built. The Book of Obadiah includes a prophecy that, at the End of Days, Edom (Rome) will attempt to come up against Jerusalem a second time.
The vision of Obadiah. Thus saith the Lord GOD concerning Edom: We have heard a message from the LORD, and an ambassador is sent among the nations: ‘Arise ye, and let us rise up against her in battle.’  (Obadiah 1:1)
According to Singer, the surest way for Edom to “rise up against Jerusalem” and destroy Israel is to strengthen her enemy. Thus, the Pope’s friendship with Abbas and his efforts to embolden the PA is the real story, the true fulfillment of the prophecy of Obadiah.
Singer urged that the world not be fooled by signs that the Pope and the Jews are warming up to one another. The Catholic Church’s true agenda, to fight against Jerusalem, as Obadiah prophesied, is being revealed by the Church’s recognition of the non-existent State of Palestine.

LOVE FOR HIS PEOPLE FEATURED BOOK
Paperback: $5.95
Kindle $1.99


My heart yearns for the glory of the Lord Jesus to be revealed in the earth, touching the hearts and souls of men, women and children in each and every nation. As we see the days become darker, we believe that the Lord God of Israel will show Himself strong, and prove that He is the Way, the Truth and the Life, as He says He is.

I wrote this book for you who also long to walk in strong faith, courage and commitment to the end, for whatever the Lord has planned and purposed for you and I. Together, as the Body of Christ, and the glorious Bride that we will become, we will one day see His Kingdom come, His will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. The Gospel, the Good News of salvation, will be declared, and that which is just and good will for all eternity overcome the evil one. 
I sincerely believe we are living in the end of days, as prophetic words have been rapidly fulfilled since the re-birth of Israel in 1948. Jesus Himself had said that when we see the fig tree budding, we know that the time is near. 
This book, my 10th published in the last three years (all between 2013-2015) and before my 61st birthday, is very special to me. I sense it is something the Lord put on my heart to do several months ago, giving it that “urgency of getting it done and out there” feel as I wrote. Originally these chapters were Now Think On This messages. It was amazing to me how many were done in September and October of 2015 alone, as the Holy Spirit would speak a word or sentence to me, and I would write soon after. I am truly grateful for His impartation, and acknowledge Jesus (Yeshua), my Lord and Savior, above all. 
The photos I have included in the book are primarily ones I took (exceptions noted), both to document history and to share another way the Lord also speaks to His Body. Capturing moments of the Holy Spirit action, especially in the two “fire” photos, were exciting. In both cases I wasn’t even aware of it until they were “developed”. 
I trust this book will both encourage you and cause you to re-commit yourself - to know the Lord’s will for your life, do all you can to allow Him to direct your steps, and be the light in these dark days we desperately need and have been called upon by the Lord to be. I am with you, arm in arm! Ahava (love in Hebrew) and shalom (peace),

Ron Cantor: Get the Identity Theft Sequel at 25% off and a month before others




The Long Anticipated Jerusalem Secret is available to preorder.
When I wrote Identity Theft in 2012, I fully indented to write the sequel immediately. However, I was asked to become a fulltime pastor at Tiferet Yeshua. (And I have to say that I have loved serving the congregation, partnering with an amazing team of elders, shamashim (deacons) and the best support staff in the world.) However, it kept me from finishing the second book. Finally, last spring I checked into a kibbutz hotel in Northern Israel (thank you Sar El Tours for gifting me the room!) and spent four days writing.

After I returned home, I still needed to write the ending. The next day I went out for a bike ride. On the way home, it came to me like flood. I literally was peddling through my tears, trying to get home so I could get to my computer. I hope you like reading it as much as I did writing it. :-)

I discovered some amazing facts about the first Jewish believers (that I think will strengthen your faith) and built it all around, what I hope is, an entertaining and compelling story. 

And here is some good news! I spoke with my publisher yesterday and he agreed to release copies to us a month early. If you preorder, not only will you get the book a month before it is on the market, we are offering a 25% discount. Just click here or on the graphic to order your copy.

Until all Israel is Saved,

Ron Cantor
The Jerusalem Secret
The Anticipated Sequel to
Identity Theft 
Continues the
SUSPENSE & INTRIGUE! 
Moments after David Lebowitz is finally convinced that Yeshua is the Jewish Messiah, he is thrust into a soul-wrenching family tragedy. In deep anguish, he cries out to Heaven. His prayer is answered in a most unexpected and unusual way.

An angel named Ariel transports David back into his celestial classroom where history-shaping events unfold right in front of him. Through supernatural time trav- el, David comes face-to-face with first-century pioneers such as Apostles James and Paul, along with early disciples of Yeshua, like Priscilla and Aquila.

Before his eyes, a world-changing—and at times, shocking—history is being writ- ten. While David cannot change the past, he is able to unlearn horrific myths about Yeshua and the Jewish people—only to return to earth for the test of his life!

Experience history like never before and catch a glimpse of life for the first con- gregation of Jesus-followers in Jerusalem. You will also discover how the diabolical snares of anti-semitism and replacement theology sought to sabotage God’s work in their midst.

See God’s unfolding plan to bring the Jewish people to salvation and release YESHUA’S POWER IN THE EARTH!

In 2010 the Lord God of Israel, my Savior Jesus Christ (Yeshua HaMashiach), led me to start the ministry we call Love For His People. Its primary purpose is to share the love of the Lord with the nation of Israel, Jews around the world, and the people in all the nations as we can. For that end, through social media, writing and distributing books, and in person ministry, we are seeing the love of Jesus spread. We are grateful that He has given us much love in order to do just that. 

We often hear the word “love” spoken out loud, and written about, in many ways. It has contrasting meanings to the wide range of people that exist, as it is expressed in different methods through people. When it has all been said and done, there is an eternal love that will stand the test of fire. Because the biblical expression of love, laying down one’s life for his friends, has eternal value, this love from God the Father to His creation is the type that I most seek after and try to share. 

In these short chapters of Arms of Love, which is also the title of a song Laurie and I sang while leading various church worship meetings, and as the lead singers in our Ahava Love Band, I share some aspects of how I believe the Bible speaks of love. For you who are about to read this, my prayer is that your heart will be enlarged with His, and you too will become one, even more, to give love for His people, both Jew and Gentile, both saved and unsaved.

I hope that as you read these chapters, you will become more inspired to spend time with the Lord, experience His heart of love, and share it with our fellow man. The world needs to know the love of God.

Thank you letter from the Jim Bakker Show for "End of Days" book received.


I am grateful for this letter that came yesterday - a thank you note from the Jim Bakker Show for the End of Days book received.

I watch their show daily and also add the link, with photos, on our blog Love For His People.

I hope you get one too! Amazon - End of Days book - printed & Kindle version

Arms of Love - my latest book. My gift to you for $3.77.



Greetings friends.

My 11th book, Arms of Love, was published this week. I received our first order of 30 copies this past Wednesday, Dec. 9, 2015.

This one is a small book - 14 messages - purposely written that way so that it would be read and not laid aside on a table. Knowing that many of you either don't read books, or believing that there are too many chapters in books and not enough hours in the day - thus too big and time consuming, well, I have the solution. This book is not that book! It is the Twitter generation after all.

So have some joy and be at peace. This book is only 86 total pages (including all the extra stuff that is usually put in books), 5" x 8" in size so that it fits nicely in a women's purse (sorry men), and can be read in one sitting, or 14, whichever you prefer.

And just so you don't bust your Hanukkah or Christmas budget, here is the deal.

For the cost of mailing it to you (USA residents only - sorry my international friends) and the price of the Jiffy bag I use ($2,72 postage and $1.05 bubble bag from Office Depot) I will send it to you for $3.77. My gift at this festive time, for I love BOTH Hanukkah and Christmas - one of the book's messages by the way!

Our ministry of Love For His People has already paid the cost of printing and shipping the books to us, so that is no cost to you.

Thus, if you are so moved, please send me your check, made out to LOVE FOR HIS PEOPLE, to:

Love For His People
Attn: Steve Martin
P.O. Box 414
Pineville, NC 28134


(I like to think of Pineville as the NC little town of Bethlehem, similar to the actual town of Jesus/Yeshua's birth, which is just south of Jerusalem, Israel. We are just south of Charlotte, NC.)

 For those of who do use checks, I added a convenient PayPal button on the left, under the Arms of Love book, for you to use. There is an added sales tax charge for this though.)

And no, you won't find this offer on any website.

Plus - fear not little flock! You won't be added to any mailing list. (We don't have one.) I have never sent out a mailing asking for funds, so you won't get put on another mailing list. (I did that for 24 years with three large ministries.Their income was between $1-2 million each year. Our income is $20,000 a year.) Besides, we don't have any staff of any kind, nor an advertising/marketing budget funds for that purpose. It is just me and my good wife Laurie.

And..we just like to give out gifts!

Blessings on ye head,

Steve Martin

P.S. Here is the fine print - I will have only 25 books to send. This "deal of the holiday season" ends Dec. 21. So that gives you 10 days to get me your $3.77. And heah! - it will be worth the price of that extra loaf of specialty bread, or even less than two 7 Eleven Big Bite/Big Gulp hot dog deals (they are normally $2.00 each. (That I know...)

If you think you can't get me a check by then and want a book, just send me an email. I will hold one for you, and order extra books if I need to.

loveforhispeople@gmail.com

And again, you won't be added to an e-mail list either. I don't maintain one.

For those of who do use checks, I added a convenient PayPal button on the left, under the Arms of Love book, for you to use. There is and added charge for this though.
