The Origin of Jerusalem ✡ "The Lord Will See"

And Abraham named that place, The Lord will see, as it is said to this day: On the mountain, the Lord will be seen.

GENESIS (22:14)
 

וַיִּקְרָא אַבְרָהָם שֵׁם הַמָּקוֹם הַהוּא יְ-הֹוָה יִרְאֶה אֲשֶׁר יֵאָמֵר הַיּוֹם בְּהַר יְ-הֹוָה יֵרָאֶה

בראשית כב:יד

va-yeek-ra av-ra-ham shaym ha-ma-kom ha-hu a-do-nai yir-eh a-sher yay-a-mayr ha-yom b'-har a-do-nai yay-ra-eh

Jerusalem Inspiration

What is the origin of the name Jerusalem? Tradition holds that the name Yerushalayim, is a synthesis of the two Biblical names given to Jerusalem. Shem, the son of Noah called Jerusalem, Sha-lem, meaning whole as well as peace, and Abraham named it Yi-re, meaning God will see. In deference to these two righteous men, God named his holy city, Yeru-sha-la-yeem. Jerusalem, indeed is a synthesis of Godliness as well as a city for all of mankind in its entirety.

Heart Growing Cold? - Now Think On This by Steve Martin

Heart Growing Cold?
- Now Think On This
by Steve Martin


“At that time many will be trapped into betraying and hating each other, many false prophets will appear and fool many people; and many people’s love will grow cold because of increased distance from Torah. But whoever holds out till the end will be delivered. And this Good News about the Kingdom will be announced throughout the whole world as a witness to all the Goyim. It is then that the end will come.” (Matt 24:10-14 Complete Jewish Bible)


Murderous evil has become rampant – beheadings, burnings, torture, rape and killings. So much martyrdom is occurring daily in several nations, as the evil one pours out his wrath on the believers of Jesus (Yeshua) and those of the Chosen Ones. Captured as prisoners, tortured for their faith in the only True God; refusing to bow down to the false god – our brothers and sisters are being slaughtered for standing for truth.

As some would watch this daily news, is it possible that hearts are growing cold, replacing the fire that once burned within, and turning their love away? Is it possible that many people’s love would indeed grow cold, as Jesus prophesied 2000 years ago, and not hold onto the end? Yes it is.

Turning away from the truth, out of growing fear, promises that seem to have been forgotten, or just plain lack of anymore concern and compassion are sweeping across the nations in the hearts of those who once called themselves Christians. Leaving churches, quitting daily reading of the Word and dismissing the need to maintain a prayer life are causing once strong believers to betray, abandon and even hate the ones they had walked with in harmony in years gone by. Is this another sign of the end? Yes it is.

As the heat has been turned up, the frog in the slowly increased temperature of the water has become unaware of his true surroundings. As such, an ongoing lack of discernment and a displaced knowledge of foundational truths have left many behind, when the time to stand strong is needed all the more, at the most vital time in all history.

“…and many people’s love will grow cold because of increased distance from Torah.” (Matt. 24:12 CJB). As pastors, rabbis and spiritual leaders increasingly exchange the eternal truth found in the Scriptures for the lies of the current age, standards have fallen to their lowest levels. Nothing remains black and white, as replacement theology and the belief that anything and everything is OK has blinded the eyes that once had seen the light.

Biblical marriage (one man and one woman), love for our unborn children, a firm grasp of solid commitment to the Lord’s principles, and maintaining a strong support for Israel and the Jewish right to the Promised Land – these have all fallen by the wayside as the deceptive spiritual cloud slowly blankets the people. Many false prophets have appeared and fooled the people – even beginning in the church, as liberal, unholy doctrines and Chrislam, among other lies, have taken root.

“But the one who endures to the end, he will be saved.  This gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come.” (Matt. 24:13-14 NASU)

We who know the Truth, who have called upon the Name of the Lord Jesus, Yeshua HaMashiach, must endure to the end. By the grace available to us through His blood and Resurrected Life, we can be among those who do stand until the end, proclaiming the truth of the Good News and bringing a testimony to all the nations. As the dark gets darker, surely the light will shine brighter in these days that we live in.

We must not let our hearts grow cold. These times are not for the faint of heart, but for the warriors who have been given life to share His love in the dying world.

Gathering Israel from the nations - update on journey to France (Richard and Carolyn Hyde from Heart of G-d Ministries)

Thus says the L-rd G-d, "When I gather the house of Israel from the peoples among whom they are scattered, and will manifest My holiness in them in the sight of the nations, then they will live in their Land which I gave to my servant Jacob.  Ezekiel 28:25
Dear Friends and Prayer Partners, 
 
France 6
In our last update we spoke of the dream Carolyn had about us going to France to encourage the French Jews to come home. This dream was in November, two months before the atrocities took place at Charlie Hebdo and the kosher supermarket in Paris. The occupant of the White House characterized the attack as vicious zealots randomly killing some folks in a grocery store but we all know it was Islamic Jihadists targeting Jews, for the simple fact that they are Jews.  

G-d knew in November, before the tragedy in January, what the state of mind of the Jewish people would be afterwards.  He knew they would be desperate to hear that there is a safe place to come, a place where Jews can worship freely, where they don't have to worry about being attacked as they're walking down the street wearing a kippa.   
Click here for a video depicting what a journalist experienced in Paris. 

We spoke to so many Jewish people about making Aliyah that we lost count of the number.  On the streets, one by one, we spoke to Jews in Paris and Strasbourg.  
France 3
How did we speak to them since we didn't speak French, you may ask?  Most of the Jews in the big cities speak Hebrew!  How did we know where the Jews were?  We looked for places where French military troops were guarding and we would be sure to find a synagogue, a Jewish school or a day center!  


Here are some of the responses we received as we were on the street:

Everyone thinks about Aliyah now!
It's very clear that we can't stay here much longer.
We already made Aliyah but it was hard to find work so we returned to France.
Yes, but my family wants me to stay here.
It's very dangerous here.  Yes, we're leaving.
I'm already Israeli but my kids are French and they want to stay here.
Every day my muslim neighbors call me a dirty Jew but it's the same in Israel!
A shop owner allowed us to leave the flyers in her store window and as we were leaving, a young man walked in from the street and went directly to get a flyer!
Yes, my whole family is now plannning on making Aliyah.
We wandered into a cafe in the Jewish Quarter that hosts musicians.  They gave me permission to play their piano and after I finished, the owners asked me to return for a gig!  We left flyers there and in many other Jewish cafes, bookstores, delis, bakeries and even in the laundromat!

France 5Praise the L-rd that He fulfilled every aspect of the dream He gave last November.  We also shared in many churches in France and French-speaking areas of Switzerland and Germany, thus raising up many wonderful believers who are called to be fishermen according to Jeremiah 16:16.  

France 7We had a special encounter with Philippe Karsenty, deputy mayor of Neuilly (and the founder of Media Ratings in Paris.  He speaks often in America and we highly recommend that you invite him to come and share.  Click here for an interview with this hero for truth in the media!

"We really enjoyed the Russian booklets that we received a year ago.  Beautiful and simple!  Do you have more?  Through our newly opened humanitarian aid center, we are in contact with many new immigrants and there is a constant need for quality material to hand out.  I particularly like your booklet and would like to ask for another 500 copies."  
Plans for spring and summer
We feel called to return to France and neighboring countries this summer and perhaps America, so thank you for prayerfully considering an invitation to your congregation to help us raise up more fishermen who will help our people come home to Israel.

Urgent Call for Intercession Over Franklin Graham - JENNIFER LECLAIRE

Urgent Call for Intercession Over Franklin Graham

JENNIFER LECLAIRE  charisma news

Franklin Graham

Watchman on the Wall, by Jennifer LeClaire
Billy Graham was a pastor to presidents and certainly addressed the moral slide in America as far back as the 1950s, but Franklin Graham seems to be wearing his dad's mantle on steroids.
The once prodigal son is not shrinking back from hot button cultural and political issues—he actually pointed to Jezebel Scriptures in the book of Revelation to describe the condition of America and is speaking bluntly about transgender bathrooms—nor does he mince words about Islam.
Franklin Graham even dared to rebuke President Obama at a time when other Christian leaders are embracing Chrislam.
Why is Graham so bold? Because he sees an Islamic storm coming against America. Although he's not a Pentecostal spiritual warrior that prays in the spirit and binds devils, he has strong discernment and enough boldness to go toe-to-toe with the principalities and powers that have targeted Christians for destruction.
Franklin Graham is saying what most politicians, pastors, news pundits and others refuse to say: Islam is not a religion of peace.
Do Peaceful Religions Do This?
"For Muslims, peace comes only through submission to Islam. When they speak of peace, they mean submission to their religion," Graham says. "Worldwide, tens of thousands of men, women and children have been slaughtered in the name of Allah, under the bloody flag of Islam."
Graham made it clear to Obama, who appears at best a Muslim sympathizer, that followers of a peaceful religion do not cut off the heads of innocent people in the barbaric fashion the world has watched recently. He told Obama that believers in a peaceful religion do not kidnap 300 young schoolgirls as Boko Haram did in northeastern Nigeria in April and reportedly sell them to men to be sex slaves.
Hoping Obama would get the point, Graham told him men who practice a peaceful religion do not detonate bombs on an American street during a marathon race to kill and maim innocent people. He said no one who belongs to a peaceful religion would even consider hijacking jet airliners and flying them into buildings occupied by thousands of innocent people beginning their workday, as happened in this country and in this city on 9/11.
"Mr. President—no peaceful religion would tolerate, let alone practice, female circumcision, require a woman to have her husband's permission to leave her home and take up employment and restrict her ability to receive justice in the case of sex crimes," Graham says. ""Mr. President—a peaceful religion would not condone and allow a father to drown a daughter in a swimming pool in front of the family in the name of family honor because she might have stayed out late in the evening with her boyfriend, Mr. President—why haven't the 3.5 million Muslims in North America rejected this gross, barbaric and despicable behavior by their fellow Muslims on American soil?"
Obama Gives Islam a Pass
The righteous are as bold as a lion (see Prov. 28:1). Franklin Graham fits that description in his unrelenting campaign to expose Islam for what it really is—and for confronting an American president who some are starting to wonder is sleeping with the enemy. In fact, Obama told Fox News that Obama "only knows Islam" and therefore fails to use the term "radical Islam" when discussing Islamic terrorists.
"His mother was married to a Muslim. His father was a Muslim," Graham said during an "On the Record with Greta Van Susteren" interview. "Then she married a man from Indonesia. He was raised in Indonesia. Went to Islamic schools. I assume she was a Muslim. So his whole life, his experiences have been surrounded by Islam. He only knows Islam. And he has given a pass to Islam."
Graham is not afraid to speak directly to Islamic terrorists, either. Graham is pointing to Romans 14:11, Philippians 2:10 and Isaiah 45:23 in his latest response to Muslim terrorism.
"The evil of ISIS really shouldn't shock us—it is fully in keeping with their ultimate agenda of hastening a final apocalypse," Graham wrote on his Facebook page. "God's Word tells us that there will be a final battle one day, but it will result in the defeat of Satan and all those allied with him. One thing is for sure—one day every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father." Amen.
IHOPKC's Mike Bickle last month called for believers to support and pray for Graham as he has "boldly yet tenderly taken a biblical stance in warning America in relation to Islam, gay marriage and several other important subjects."
I'm making an even more fervent call for intercessors to rise up and pray for Graham day and night. The enemy would like nothing more than to silence this mouthpiece for God who is confronting and pushing back darkness in our generation. Likewise, those who subscribe to anti-Christ agendas are raging against his voice. Saints, let's make it a priority to lift up Graham in prayer, wage spiritual warfare against the attacks on his life and bless his ministry. Amen?
