Syrians see themselves as officially at war with Israel. But that didn’t stop Israelis from rallying on behalf of Syrian civil war victims on Sunday.

Most Israelis don’t believe Yeshua is the their Messiah. And yet, they tend to follow some of his teaching far more dutifully than most Christians.

For example, the teaching to love your enemies.

Israelis are in a constant battle for survival. Still, as a matter of policy (there are of course bad apples in every society) Israel has no hatred for its sworn enemies.

Hundreds of Israelis demonstrated that when they gathered outside the Russian and US embassies in Tel Aviv to protest the international community’s failure to stop the reported massacre of civilians in the Syrian city of Aleppo.

“I’m here doing the only thing I can, because I feel powerless in this ordeal,” one protester told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency (JTA). “There are people who are suffering, so we have to do something.”

Another protester, Rabbi Hananel Rosen, explained why Israeli Jews would take up the cause of even their most intractable enemies:

“God created the world and everybody in it in the image of God, and if we’re not willing to put our foot down about that then we’ll find ourselves religiously and morally wanting.”

Tens of Thousands Cry Out for Unity, Revival at 'Azusa Now' Rally - Wendy Griffith, CBN News

Tens of Thousands Cry Out for Unity, Revival at 'Azusa Now' Rally

CBN News Wendy Griffith

LOS ANGELES -- Tens of thousands of Christians filled the Memorial Coliseum in Los Angeles over the weekend to pray for a spiritual revival to sweep across the nation.

Sponsored by The Call, the Azusa Now rally was strategically held on the 110th anniversary of the 1906 Azusa Street Revival, which broke out in Los Angeles and had a worldwide impact.

"I just knew in my heart that I was meant to be here. I was meant to experience this and that this was going to be an historical event," said Yuba City, California, resident Cameron Clark.

San Diego resident Lisa Baker remarked, "I believe that there's such unity that is opening the heavens. I really believe that we've opened up the gates and the doors so that the King of Glory can come on in… it's so exciting."

Tanya Zodulua traveled from Raleigh, North Carolina, to attend the event.

"I'm just here being totally engulfed in His presence and just believing for miracles," she said.

"So you've been praying for revival back in Colorado?" CBN's Wendy Griffith asked Colorado Springs resident Glenn Vasaturo.

"We just labor in the prayer room for our nation, for two years just praying in this room," he replied. "And it's like it's just happening... It's happening."

Lou Engle, founder of The Call, has been calling the nation to pray at strategic times for the last 15 years. He says the Azusa Now event was birthed from a dream that an even greater revival than the one that broke out at 312 Azusa Street in downtown Los Angeles in 1906 is about to break out again.

"I believe we're at the threshold of a third Great Awakening," Engle told CBN News.

"And if stadiums can be filled, and now evangelism coming, I have to believe that no matter how dark it is, what the political climate is, Jesus is going to keep His covenant and He's going to show us a great wave of awakening. I'm excited about that," he said.

Azusa Now kicked off with a series of prayers of repentance and forgiveness, beginning with the American Indians.

"Make us one in your son...Awaken the Native American! Awaken in Jesus name," one Native American prayed.

That was followed by prayers for Israel, the Jewish people, and for Jews and gentiles to unite.

"When Ruth and Boaz unite, when Jew and gentile unite in Messiah, it's going to release the greatest sound of revival the world has ever seen," Malibu, California Rabbi Jason Sobel said.

And just like the original Azusa Street Revival, there was a focus on racial reconciliation.

"If we want to be reconciled with men, we have to first be reconciled to God and that means our histories must be reconciled to God," one attendee said.

But most of the day felt like a huge celebration, with lots of worship, dancing and many people receiving healing miracles.

"When they prayed, they said for healing, my right ear opened up… and they snapped and I could hear it," Greg Gephardt, from Orland, California, said.

The celebration continued well into the night with worship from Bethel and an overall feeling that something big took place in the heavens that could soon be felt on earth.

O Israel, O Yisrael Your Deliverer Is Coming - Chad Taylor (The Elijah List)

Chad Taylor:

O Israel, O Yisrael Your 

Deliverer Is Coming

The Elijah List

The following word was spoken by Chad Taylor on November 22nd, 2012:

"O Israel, O Yisrael, I will soon bring your secret salvation into a public forum; your faith in Me I will suddenly spring into an arena of My making; even a public place and many will see it and be glad. For I have spoken to you like Nicodemus at night (John 3), and in the secret places multitudes have been saved – now the time has come for their revealing. I am bringing your salvation into a public forum and millions will behold it.

"Now is the time I will remove the basket of pretense and circumstance and a Great Awakening shall begin. O Yisrael, you have wrestled with Me, but now it will be clearly seen that I am for you and not against you. For many will watch and say, 'Who can deliver them? Look, for all have forsaken them!' When it appears like imminent defeat you will prevail, O Yisrael, you will prevail.

"And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel, for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed." Genesis 32:28

"But I say to you O Israel, in the darkest moment My light will arise and shine and a deliverance shall come from a land that you did not ask of; a land that you did not seek, nor ever imagined would stand by your side. From the desert deliverance is coming and from the Lands of the North an ally will rise. Have not I promised you I will never forsake you, I will never leave you? (Photo via pixabay.com)

"Who is this coming from Edom, from Bozrah, with His garments stained crimson? Who is this, robed in splendor, striding forward in the greatness of His strength? 'It is I, speaking in righteousness, mighty to save.'" Isaiah 63:1 

"I Will Stir a Vanguard of Renowned Leaders to Rally Around You"

"For two allies will falter and fail you; one shall be a Judas, but I will raise up a Jonathan in a House of Saul and his arrows will fly straight. I will not allow you to be misled nor will I allow your light to be extinguished. But many will say, even those that once inscribed your name in their hearts, 'Can anyone save her? Can anyone deliver her now?'

"But I will call you like a called Lazarus (John 11), and the stone of circumstances will suddenly be rolled away. For I will stir a vanguard of renowned leaders to rally around you. From even the most unexpected places and genres shall they come. I will raise up a former President to stand in the gap, a Prince and even a Queen. I will raise them and they will stand in the gap. I will make an enemy your friend.

"Of David. A psalm. The LORD says to my Lord: 'Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet." Psalm 110:1

"From Rome shall blessing arise and be sent. From the place where your faith once shined so bright many will now say, 'Look! They are a friend of Israel again!' Indeed they will be, even to bloodshed they will stand with Israel.

"I will give you a song of victory again O Yisrael, you will sing the song of David again, 'O GOD the Lord, the strength of my salvation, You have covered my head in the day of battle' (Psalm 140:7). Psalm 140 is a clarion call for you in this very hour; a song in the night for you O Israel, hear it and be glad. Hear it and be glad! (Photo by Linda Harris-Iorio The Voice of God Thunders.

"I shall lift my eyes to the hills; from where will come my helper?" Psalm 121:1

"Rescue me, O LORD, from evil men; Preserve me from violent men who devise evil things in their hearts; They continually stir up wars. They sharpen their tongues as a serpent; Poison of a viper is under their lips. Selah. Keep me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked; Preserve me from violent men." Psalm 140: 1-4
