Netanyahu Invites TV Viewers to 'Experience Israel'

CBNNews.com

JERUSALEM, Israel -- Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is taking time out of his busy schedule to star in a major television production by travel journalist and producer Peter Greenberg, the Prime Minister's Office said on Friday.


Greenberg, who's produced many international travel shows for PBS and the Travel Channel, is returning to Israel next week to finish shooting the segment he began last year.


According to the PMO's office, Greenberg and his 35-member crew expect to wind up filming here sometime next month.


Last year, Netanyahu said the goal of the project is to draw more visitors by showing "the other Israel" so people can see "this is a fun country."


"I am calling this project B'shvil Yisrael in order to raise up tourism even higher and to change the image," he said on the first day of filming at Rosh Hanikra last year.


"We are at Rosh Hanikra. We will be at Masada, the Dead Sea, the Technion, Jerusalem and Tel Aviv in order to show the true Israel, the other Israel that is not seen," he continued.


"Peter Greenberg has boosted tourism in Mexico, New Zealand and Jordan and this is the goal -- to raise up tourism for Israel as well, for people to see that this is a fun country," Netanyahu said.


Israel hosted 3,520,000 visitors in 2012, bringing an estimated $36 billion in revenue to the tourism sector. The goal is to draw another 200,000 visitors this year, which would add about $1 billion.


Tourism Minister MK Uzi Landau said he hopes visitors experience Israel's beauty and are inspired by its rich history.


"We welcome Mr. Greenberg's return to Israel and remember, first and foremost, that he is a tourist," Landau said. "We will continue to work to increase the number of tourists who come to Israel every year to experience its beauty, become acquainted with its rich history and to be inspired by it."

Zionist Settlement Aliyah - 1890's - Part 1

“Early Zionist Settlement: First Aliyah” looks at the first wave of Zionist immigrants, who began arriving in 1882. The young idealists who made up this immigration, or aliyah, wanted to pave the way for a national rebirth.

As Zeev Dubnow, a member of Bilu, the very first group of Zionist immigrants, wrote:

“The ultimate aim is to build up this land of Israel and restore to the Jews the political independence that has been taken from them for the past two thousand years.”

The Great Eagle Shall Rise Again

A Prophetic Newsletter www.MantlesOfGlory.org By Karla Shrake June 20, 2013,Volume 19 And the Lord Roars from Zion...And utters His voice from Jerusalem." Joel 3:16 "The Lord utters His Voice before His Army; Surely His camp is Very Great, For Strong is he who Carries out His Word." Joel 2:11 The Great Eagle Shall Rise Again Part 1 by Karla Shrake June 20, 2013 "My dear America you have seen both good times and bad but you must understand this is your prophetic hour to wake up for I am beginning to reveal Myself to many across this great land," says your Founder-Father. "This is the hour to search for Me with all your heart and to heed My word with great diligence and care.  As you do you will find the deliverance and healing you are in such desperate need of. The hour is short and you must respond quickly for the prophetic wheels of time and eternity are turning and the appointed hour of deliverance has begun," exhorts your loving Father. Time to Rouse from your Comfort-Nests: "Yes American church I understand your joints, shoulders and muscles have become stiff and even atrophied from so many years of dryness, lethargy and ease. Now is the time to forsake business as usual and the comfort of your nests. I am coming to awaken you so that you will remember who you are, the greatness that I your covenant Father imparted to from your inception so long ago. You must again lift up your eyes toward heaven so that your spiritual understanding, reasoning and true identity will return. I have called you to be My humble and obedient ones to represent My father's heart of love for the lost and dying in your own country as well as around the globe." The Gates of Hell Shall Not Prevail: "Yes it is true the very gates of hell are battering against you yet again and again with great ferocity even as hurricane winds and waves batter the coastline, but know that they will not prevail against you My faithful ones. You must learn to continually hide yourself in Me and in My latter-day purposes for this is where you will find protection and victory." "As you learn to truly hide yourself in Me you will discover that I will shield you from the batterings and beatings that hell is spewing forth with such great intensity. Humble yourselves, seek Me while I may be found and stay under the shelter of My strong, eternal wings. Hide yourself in that secret place of intimate fellowship with Me," exhorts your loving Father. "But do not become comfortable for I am moving suddenly and frequently in this critical hour of preparation therefore you must be prepared to move quickly with Me." Lean into My Faithfulness: "You must turn toward Me My beloved Eagle and stretch forth the wings of your faith, trusting in Me as your Father-Founder once again. As you lean into Me in this dark hour you will encounter My covenant faithfulness and the lifting of My Spirit." "Take courage dear ones as the winds of heaven are stirring across this great land as I your Maker have a plan and a purpose from long ago. I am the Alpha and the Omega, and I know the end from the beginning. Find your your strength in Me and in the power of My might, for truly My might has no end." (Part II coming in next week's newsletter.) *Note from author Karla Shrake: The above are excerpts taken from the last section of my book "Mantles of Glory, this section received and penned in 1999. As the author I have taken liberty in making changes, edits and additions to the original text, although the essence of the message remains the same.

Davidic Warriors

Dear Friends and Fellow-Patriots, The Lord quickened to me to go back and reread the last section of my book "Mantles" about America, that part written 14 years ago.  As we are three weeks away from July 4th, the anniversary of our liberty, I felt He wanted to release a word of perspective, encouragement and exhortation to us and to those this word might be forwarded to.  This is not just about patriotism, it is about His kingdom plans and purposes for our country - that they be fulfilled and not aborted.   I pray this word will stir the hearts of many to pray and fast for our country and for the leaders of the Body of Christ in America.  Ultimately a nation is ruled by the righteous who bow before Him in faith and humility.   So let us pray that His children would take their rightful places as they kneel before Him in the courtroom of heaven where our Righteous Judge rules according to the everlasting covenant.   Let us stand in agreement with the Mayflower Compact and many other founders and believers who shed both tears and blood for a land of liberty based on the Bible and on The Lamb's eternal sacrifice, the only way to true and lasting liberty. Blessings to all in the Davidic Warrior prayer-fasting-decree family for although we are decreeing in a hidden and private way, it is divinely powerful for the establishing of His plan and Kingdom in our lives, destinies and families.  May your heart's desires come to pass quickly and surely in this season as He richly rewards faithfulness and devotion to Him.  Know that you are remembered and honored not only in heaven but on earth as well. love to all, Karla

New Iranian president tied to Jewish center bombing

Iran

Former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad might be famous forwanting to kill Jews, but his predecessor, the allegedly "moderate" Hassan Rohani, has apparently actually done so.

An American newspaper this week pointed out that a 2006 indictment by the government in Argentina had listed Rohani as one of the co-conspirators in the 1994 bombing of a Jewish community center in Buenos Aires.

The attack, which killed 85 people and wounded hundreds more, was, according to Argentina, carried out by Hezbollah, but was ordered from Tehran.

The Argentine government investigator stated that the attack was planned and given a green light by Iran's Supreme National Security Council, which is headed by Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khameini.

A former Iranian intelligence official testified in the case that Rohani was also a member of that council, as was former Iranian President Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, himself hailed throughout the West as a "moderate."

As Israelis have been pointing out since his election last week, Rohani might have more tact and style than Ahmadinejad, but he hates Israel every bit as much.

Matisyahu - "Jerusalem If I Forget You"

If I forget you, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget its skill (Psalm 137:5)
-----------

Jerusalem, if I forget you,
fire not gonna come from me tongue.
Jerusalem, if I forget you,
let my right hand forget what it's supposed to do.

In the ancient days, we will return with no delay
Picking up the bounty and the spoils on our way
We've been traveling from state to state
And them don't understand what they say
3000 years with no place to be
And they want me to give up my milk and honey
Don't you see, it's not about the land or the sea
Not the country but the dwelling of his majesty

Rebuild the temple and the crown of glory
Years gone by, about sixty
Burn in the oven in this century
And the gas tried to choke, but it couldn't choke me
I will not lie down, I will not fall asleep
They come overseas, yes they're trying to be free
Erase the demons out of our memory
Change your name and your identity
Afraid of the truth and our dark history
Why is everybody always chasing we
Cut off the roots of your family tree
Don't you know that's not the way to be

Caught up in these ways, and the worlds gone craze
Don't you know it's just a phase
Case of the Simon says
If I forget the truth then my words won't penetrate
Babylon burning in the place,
can't see through the haze
Chop down all of them dirty ways,
That's the price that you pay for
selling lies to the youth
No way, not ok, oh no way, not ok, hey
Aint no one gonna break my stride
Aint no one gonna pull me down
Oh no, I got to keep on moving
Stay alive.

Song by Matisyahu

I want to walk like He does...

Today, I want to walk like He walks...

...being a daily servant to all.

...in faith, for all good things He has appointed me to do.

...seeing the big picture with world glasses, and not with my microscope.

...knowing the Holy Spirit is guiding me.

 ...standing for who He stands for, 

supporting Israel and the Jewish people

 with all that I have.

...declaring His victory over my family, friends, co-workers, and the world.

 ...knowing He is Messiah!

...in love, and not hate or regrets.

...praying the Aaronic blessing over all.

...declaring His blessings, as I look to His guiding hand.

Praying daily for His promises to be fulfilled in the nations...

...and aim for the heart!

 

...with all my heart.

I DON’T WAIT ANYMORE.

Editor's Note: This blog was placed on Facebook by a friend. After reading it, I wanted to share it with others.

Whatever you are waiting for, and for some it HAS BEEN years, I can testify (after 50+ years), that God is Faithful. The plans He has for each of us are the best we could ever hope for. 

Be encouraged in your walk with Him today. Eternity is a long time, and we will get there with Him as our Shepherd and Friend, after He has become first our Lord and Savior.

Shalom,

I DON’T WAIT ANYMORE.

Posted by gracefortheroad in The Mercy and tagged with follow Jesus, i don't wait anymore, love Jesus, purity ring, singleness, true love waits, waitingFebruary 3, 2012

When I was 16, I got a purity ring.

And when I was 25, I took it off.

I didn’t tell anyone I was doing it — it wasn’t a statement or an emotional thing. I just slipped it off my finger that day and, before tucking it away in a box, ran my finger around the words on the familiar gold band.

“True Love Waits.” Waits.

What’s it “waiting” for, anyway?

*****

I had my reasons for deciding not to wear it anymore. Other people might have other reasons. It’s a graveyard of hearts, this place where single church girls crash into their late 20s and early 30s. Churches see the symptoms. They scramble to reach out to the ever-growing young adult singles crowd who feels alienated by family-oriented services.

But there’s something bigger behind it than that.

Much bigger.

There are a lot of girls out there who don’t know who God is anymore – the God of their youth group years just isn’t working out. Back then, that God said to wait for sex until they are married, until He brings the right man along for a husband. They signed a card and put it on the altar and pledged to wait.

And wait they did.

*****

And waited and waited and waited.

Some of them have prayed their whole lives for a husband, and he hasn’t shown up. They’ve heard the advice to “be the woman God made you to be, focus on that, and then the husband will come.” They’ve read “Lady in Waiting,” gotten super involved in church and honed their domestic skills.

And still they wait.

More than a decade ago, a youth leader handed them a photocopied poem in Sunday School written to them from “God” that said, “The reason you don’t have anyone yet is because you’re not fully satisfied in Me. You have to be satisfied with Me and then when you least expect it, I’ll bring you the person I meant for you.”

And the girls see it posted on their bulletin boards from time to time.

“You’re right, God,” they say. “We’re not satisfied in you yet. We will put you first and then you can bring us a husband in your timing.”

But many of them – if they’re honest – will tell you that time has passed, and it’s wrecking their view of God.

If this is who God’s supposed to be, then He’s tragically late.

So some decide to chuck “Lady in Waiting” out the window … and possibly their virginity with it. Church goes next. God might go next, too. If He doesn’t answer these prayers after they’ve held up their end of the bargain, why would He answer any others?

Whether it was the fault of the leaders, the fault of us girls, or both, a tragedy happened back then.

A lot of girls were sold on a deal and not on a Savior.

*****

I had that poem on my bulletin board all through high school – the one where “God” was telling me to fall in love with Him first and then I would be able to fall in love with a husband later.

Who wrote that poem anyway?

Pretty sure it wasn’t God.

When Jesus was here on the earth, the crowds would follow Him because they saw He gave good things. But that’s not what He wanted. He wanted their hearts for Himself. So He would turn to them and say things like, “If you don’t love Me so much that every other relationship in your life looks like hate by comparison, you can’t follow Me.” (Matthew 10:34-39, paraphrase)

That sounds a lot different from the poem.

Christ is the source of everything we need and the giver of all good gifts … but in telling people about Him, it’s possible we’ve sold them on a solution for life’s problems and not life itself.

What if we as girls had learned early on that having Him was everything, not a means to the life we think He would want us to have.

If we had learned we don’t abstain from sex because we’re “waiting.” We abstain because we love Him.

If I’d had on my bulletin board, “Fall in love with Jesus.” That’s it. Bottom line. That’s everything you need to know, to work toward, to put your hope in.

If I’d learned who He is, what He wants, how to give Him everything, not “wait” so that one day I could give my everything to someone else.

If I’d learned that it’s not bad to pray for a husband, but that my greater prayer should be for Him to spend my life as He chooses for His glory.

If we as believers make that our message, things could be drastically different for a lot of girls wondering why the God they think they learned to follow doesn’t compute. It doesn’t necessarily stop the desire for a husband or end all feelings of loneliness, but it does show a God who provides, loves and gives infinite purpose even to our singleness rather than a God who categorically denies some who pray for husbands while seemingly giving freely to others.

It shows that while marriage is good, He is the greater goal.

*****

Don’t think I’ve done this perfectly.

I’d be deceiving you if you thought that. I’ve had relationships where I made major mistakes. I’ve gone through angst-ridden phases where I met with friends to plead together with God to bring us husbands. I’ve planned major life decisions around possibilities.

I lived like I was waiting for something.

And that’s why I slipped off my ring that day. It wasn’t that I wanted to sleep with people – I haven’t. It wasn’t a slap to True Love Waits, or to anyone who wears a purity ring – saving sex for marriage is good and is His design.

I just didn’t want to wait anymore – didn’t want to live like I was waiting on anyone to get here.

I already have Him … and He is everything.
