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

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

Netanyahu Pits Trump Against the UN Over Jerusalem

Friday, May 26, 2017 |  Israel Today Staff
When US President Donald Trump visited the Western Wall sporting a kippa (yarmulka), it was a clear affirmation that the site is as the Jews say - Judaism's holiest shrine.
And, as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu subsequently pointed out, that was a clear repudiation of the position recently taken by the United Nations.
During a Knesset session marking the 50th anniversary of Israel's liberation of the eastern side of Jerusalem, including the Western Wall, Netanyahu stated:
Trump's visit "destroyed UNESCO’s propaganda and lies."
Netanyahu further insisted that with the city now reunited under Jewish rule, it will never again be divided.
"The Temple Mount and the Western Wall will forever remain under Israeli sovereignty," said the Israeli leader.
What that means for Trump's new Mideast peace push is yet to be seen.
Until now, the Palestinian leadership has categorically refused to accept any agreement that doesn't include Israel's surrender of eastern Jerusalem and the Temple Mount.
Will the "Trump Effect" be enough to make the Palestinians back down?
