PJTN COMMENDS THE FLORIDA STATE LEGISLATURE FOR BECOMING THE SIXTH STATE TO PASS AN ANTI-BDS RESOLUTION

PJTN COMMENDS THE FLORIDA STATE LEGISLATURE FOR BECOMING THE SIXTH STATE TO PASS AN ANTI-BDS RESOLUTION Nashville, Tennessee, USA (3/8/2016) - Proclaiming Justice to The Nations (PJTN) commends Florida State Senator Miguel Diaz de la Portilla and State Representative Lori Berman for their leadership for spearheading the adoption of two separate resolutions condemning the anti-Semitic BDS movement on March 2 and February 10, 2016, respectively. Following months of campaigning efforts by Florida's PJTN watchmen, the anti- BDS resolutions were championed by PJTN's newly appointed Chairman and long-time Miami, Florida businessman and Founder of the Florida Prepaid College Program, Mr. Stanley G. Tate.  The Senate version added the following: BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED  that the Florida Senate urges the President of the United States to order withdrawal of the United States Customs and Border Protection statement dated January 23, 2016, entitled "West Bank Country of Origin Marking Requirements, " so that goods made in the West Bank can continue to be properly labeled "Made in Israel." This is the 6th resolution passed as part of PJTN's national campaign led by watchmen across the country following their first success in Tennessee in April 2015.  Recently, Alabama became the 5th state to pass a similar version of Tennessee's resolution with Indiana, Pennsylvania and New York also following Tennessee's lead. During the past  year PJTN watchmen from 47 US States and 11 countries worldwide have joined PJTN's anti-BDS efforts to pass similar motions in their areas.  Stanley Tate, Chairman of PJTN commented, "The BDS movement is attempting to financially cripple the State of Israel by using economic warfare based on false libels against the only true democracy in the Middle-East. We will not stand by and watch as these anti-Semites attempt to destroy the only Jewish State." Tate added, "After a political life that has spanned over six decades, I was proud to join forces with PJTN to eradicate any remnant of the BDS movement in America. My experience has proven that passing these types of resolutions is one of the quickest and most effective ways to launch our anti-BDS efforts."    Stanley Tate was appointed Chairman of PJTN's distinguished Board last January.  He was also recently awarded the organization's celebrated Tree of Life award for dedicating his life to defend the State of Israel and the Jewish people. Tate is the last surviving founding member of AIPAC and has been personal confidant and aid to multiple U.S. presidents. Laurie Cardoza-Moore, Founder and President of PJTN declared that, "We will not stop until every single U.S. state comes out publicly condemning the anti-Semitic BDS movement.  In Nazi Germany, Hitler and his minions painted the Star of David on Jewish businesses. Today, world leaders are targeting the Jewish State.  We call upon Christians, Jews and people of conscience across America to join us in pushing for similar resolutions in their home states." She concluded her comments with a quote from the Biblical prophet Isaiah, "For Zion's sake I will not keep silent, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not hold my peace, till her vindication shines out like the dawn, her salvation like a blazing torch." Proclaiming Justice to the Nations (PJTN), a 501c3 non-profit organization, was established to educate Christians about their Biblical responsibility to stand with their Jewish brethren and Israel, utilizing powerful film and video presentations, a variety of grassroots rallies, events and speaking engagements to facilitate dialogue between the Christian and Jewish communities in support of the State of Israel and against global genocidal anti-Semitism. In recent months the organization has led the struggle against BDS in America with a wave of state resolutions and the upcoming release of a new documentary film that will expose the truth behind the BDS movement.

Archaeologists Find 2,500-Year-Old Evidence to Support Women's Rights in Israel - CBN NEWS

Archaeologists Find 2,500-Year-Old Evidence to Support Women's Rights in Israel

Israeli archaeologists recently discovered a rare 2,500-year-old seal during excavations inside the City of David. (CBN)

Join us on our podcast each weekday for an interesting story, well told, from Charisma News. Listen at charismapodcastnetwork.com.

Israeli archaeologists recently discovered a rare 2,500-year-old seal during excavations inside the City of David. 

What made the seal so significant is that it showed the woman who owned it had legal status, allowing her to conduct business and possess property.

"Finding seals that bear names from the time of the First Temple is hardly a commonplace occurrence, and finding a seal that belonged to a woman is an even rarer phenomenon," researchers said. 

The discovery affirms how the Bible looks at the role of women. 

The book of Proverbs (31:13-23) states that an ideal wife is responsible for providing for the needs of her household when her husband is engaged in public and legal affairs at the city gate: "She seeks wool and flax, and works with willing hands ... Her husband is known in the gates, when he sits among the elders of the land."

Archaeologist Yana Tchekhanovetes told CBN News about the discovery: 

"Inside this building as a result of very gentle work that includes sifting of the finds. Sifting of the airs in order to find all the tiny artifacts, we discovered among other stuff two Hebrew seals; one with the name of a man, Sa'aryahu ben Shabenyahu and another one with the name of a woman, Elihana bat Gael."

Why Christians Should Stop Looking for the Rapture - J.D. KING CHARISMA MAGAZINE SPIRITLED WOMAN

Why Christians Should Stop Looking for the Rapture

11:00AM EST 3/7/2016 J.D. KING  charisma magazine  spiritled woman

I know individuals who enjoy turning to 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 and reflecting on what's popularly called the "rapture." (Charisma archives)

I know individuals who enjoy turning to 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 and reflecting on what's popularly called the "rapture." They insist this passage is about God taking His people away. Yet is that true? Is this what these verses are really concerned with?

While it's true that in this section Paul talks about believers being caught up in the clouds to meet Jesus, there's something more to this if you care to look. If you read this passage carefully, you'll see that Paul isn't talking about believers abandoning creation. What he's really concerned about is our participation in Jesus' earthly appearance and celebration.

So, if this text is referring to the Lord's appearing rather than our departure, what is this "meeting the Lord in the air" in verse 17 all about?

It's helpful to consider Paul's word for "meeting" in this passage. It is the Greek word apantesis, which typically described the formal welcoming of a dignitary into a city. In other Greek literature, it was a term that described a great delegation that would travel to the outskirts of the city gates and beyond to receive the conquering king as he returned to the land.

I know that some won't like what I'm writing in this blog post, but I think that each of us should consider the context and the grammatical-historical issues shaping a passage such as this. However uncomfortable it may be, we must learn to properly exegete and draw from the passage what's actually there. It serves no one to insert something unfounded into these verses.

Getting back to my point. 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 really isn't about a departure, but a grand entrance. The apostle Paul really isn't concerned about you and me leaving the earth. In all actuality, he wants us to know we're going to be a part of a special entourage. We're going to be included in a great "welcoming party" who joyfully receives the Lord as He bodily appears here on earth.

When I think about this passage and how often it's misread, it grieves my heart. Paul wants us to know that God is going to gather the living and the dead together in the clouds to welcome the Lord into this earthly terrain. It is supposed to be a message of hope and engagement. Who would have thought this great assurance would turn into a personal exit strategy for so many?

I often think about the Christian church in North America and wonder when we're going to stop trying to trying to disengage and find a way out? I pray that one day we finally stop trying to evacuate.

The Collapse Of Italy’s Banks Threatens To Plunge The European Financial System Into Chaos - Michael Snyder THE ECONOMIC COLLAPSE BLOG

The Collapse Of Italy’s Banks Threatens To Plunge The European Financial System Into Chaos Posted: 07 Mar 2016   Michael Snyder  THE ECONOMIC COLLAPSE BLOG The Italian banking system is a “leaning tower” that truly could completely collapse at literally any moment.  And as Italy’s banks begin to go down like dominoes, it is going to set off financial panic all over Europe unlike anything we have ever seen before.   I wrote about the troubles in Italy back in January, but since that time the crisis has escalated.  At this point, Italian banking stocks have declined a whopping 28 percent since the beginning of 2016, and when you look at some of the biggest Italian banks the numbers become even more frightening.  On Monday, shares of Monte dei Paschi were down 4.7 percent, and they have now plummeted 56 percent since the start of the year.  Shares of Carige were down 8 percent, and they have now plunged a total of 58 percent since the start of the year.  This is what a financial crisis looks like, and just like we are seeing in South America, the problems in Italy appear to be significantly accelerating. So what makes Italy so important? Well, we all saw how difficult it was for the rest of Europe to come up with a plan to rescue Greece.  But Greece is relatively small – they only have the 44th largest economy in the world. The Italian economy is far larger.  Italy has the 8th largest economy in the world, and their government debt to GDP ratio is currently sitting at about 132 percent. There is no way that Europe has the resources or the ability to handle a full meltdown of the Italian financial system.  Unfortunately, that is precisely what is happening.  Italian banks are absolutely drowning in non-performing loans, and as Jeffrey Moore has noted, this potentially represents “the greatest threat to the world’s already burdened financial system”… Shares of Italy’s largest financial institutions have plummeted in the opening months of 2016 as piles of bad debt on their balance sheets become too high to ignore.  Amid all of the risks facing EU members in 2016, the risk of contagion from Italy’s troubled banks poses the greatest threat to the world’s already burdened financial system. At the core of the issue is the concerning level of Non-Performing Loans (NPL’s) on banks’ books, with estimates ranging from 17% to 21% of total lending.  This amounts to approximately €200 billion of NPL’s, or 12% of Italy’s GDP.  Moreover, in some cases, bad loans make up an alarming 30% of individual banks’ balance sheets. Things have already gotten so bad that the European Central Bank is now monitoring liquidity levels at Monte dei Paschi and Carige on a daily basis.  The following comes from Reuters… The European Central Bank is checking liquidity levels at a number of Italian banks, including Banca Carige and Monte dei Paschi di Siena , on a daily basis, two sources close to the matter said on Monday. Italian banking shares have fallen sharply since the start of the year amid market concerns about some 360 billion euros of bad loans on their books and weak capital levels. The ECB has been putting pressure on several Italian banks to improve their capital position. The regulator can decide to monitor liquidity levels at any bank it supervises on a weekly or daily basis if it has any concern about deposits or funding. A run on the big Italian banks has already begun.  Italians have already been quietly pulling billions of euros out of the banking system, and if these banks continue to crumble this “stealth run” could quickly become a stampede. And of course panic in Italy would quickly spread to other financially troubled members of the eurozone such as Spain, Portugal, Greece and France.  Here is some additional analysis from Jeffrey Moore… A deteriorating financial crisis in Italy could risk repercussions across the EU exponentially greater than those spurred by Greece.  The ripple effects of market turmoil and the potential for dangerous precedents being set by EU authorities in panicked response to that turmoil, could ignite yet more latent financial vulnerabilities in fragile EU members such as Spain and Portugal. Unfortunately, most Americans are completely blinded to what is going on in the rest of the world because stocks in the U.S. have had a really good run for the past couple of weeks.  Headlines are declaring that the risk of a new recession “has passed” and that the crisis “is over”.  Meanwhile, South America is plunging into a full-blown depression, the Italian banking system is melting down, global manufacturing numbers are the worst that we have seen since the last recession, and global trade is absolutely imploding. Other than that, things are pretty good. Seriously, it is absolutely critical that we don’t allow ourselves to be fooled by every little wave of momentum in the stock market. It is a fact that sales and profits for U.S. corporations are declining.  This is a trend that began all the way back in mid-2014 and that has accelerated during the early stages of 2016.  The following comes from Wolf Richter… Total US business sales – not just sales by S&P 500 companies but also sales by small caps and all other businesses, even those that are not publicly traded – peaked in July 2014 at $1.365 trillion, according to the Census Bureau. By December 2015, total business sales were down 4.6% from that peak. A bad 18 months for sales! They’re back where they’d first been in January 2013! Sales by S&P 500 companies dropped 3.8% in 2015, according to FactSet, the worst year since the Financial Crisis. I know that a lot of people have been eagerly anticipating a complete and total global economic collapse for a long time, and many of them just want to “get it over with”. Well, the truth is that nobody should want to see what is coming.  Personally, I rejoice for every extra day, week or month we are given.  Every extra day is another day to prepare, and every extra day is another day to enjoy the extremely comfortable standard of living that our debt-fueled prosperity has produced for us. Most Americans have absolutely no idea how spoiled we really are.  Even just fifty years ago, life was so much harder in this country.  If we had to go back and live the way that Americans did 100 or 150 years ago, there are very few of us that would be able to successfully do that. So enjoy the remaining days of debt-fueled prosperity while you still can, because great change is coming, and it is going to be extremely bitter for most of the population.

5 Years Past the Fogel Massacre; A Musical Tribute ✡ "Rachel Weeping For Her Children" - ISRAEL365

Thus saith the LORD: A voice is heard in Ramah, lamentation, and bitter weeping, Rachel weeping for her children; she refuseth to be comforted for her children, because they are not. Jeremiah 31:14 (The Israel Bible™)   כֹּה אָמַר יְ-הוָה קוֹל בְּרָמָה נִשְׁמָע נְהִי בְּכִי תַמְרוּרִים--רָחֵל מְבַכָּה עַל-בָּנֶיהָ מֵאֲנָה לְהִנָּחֵם עַל-בָּנֶיהָ כִּי אֵינֶנּוּ ירמיהו לא:יד ko a-mar a-do-nai kol b'-ra-ma nish-ma n'-hee b'-khee tam-ru-reem ra-khayl m'-va-ka al ba-ne-ha may-a-na l'-hi-na-khaym al ba-ne-ha kee ay-ne-nu

Jerusalem Inspiration This month marks 5 years since the brutal murder of 5 members of the Fogel family, in their home in Itamar as they lay sleeping on the Sabbath eve. Our Sages teach us that it was our Matriarch Rachel, buried near an ancient road in Bethlehem, who wept for her children en route to exile, and continues to cry out to God whenever tragedy strikes her descendants. Mother Rachel was surely weeping with the survivors of the Fogel family along with Jews across the world, weeping for the injustice of children orphaned and a family torn apart.  That night, as a Nation mourned, ZAKA was there, bringing sanctity to the bodies of Udi, Ruth, Yoav, Elad and Hadas as they left this world.  As terror continues to plague the country, ZAKA is always there, first to come and last to leave.  Right now, ZAKA's resources have been depleted, and they are in desperate need of 5 new ambulances to help them continue their holy work.   Last chance to help ZAKA replace their old ambulances » A Moving Tribute to a Family Torn Apart Today's Hebrew music video is a tribute to the brutal murder of the Fogel family of Itamar in March 2011.  The words are those of today's verse, as the prophet Jeremiah fortold, Mother Rachel would weep for generations over the continuous brutal murders of her children.  May she and we know comfort, as her children continue to return to Israel.   Watch here » Unbelievable Israeli Woman of Faith, Strength and Optimism Overnight, an Israeli mother, Miriam Peretz, who lost two soldier sons as well as her husband, whose heart couldn't bear the death of her oldest son, became a national symbol of grief and of strength throughout Israel. Hear her incredible story » **Israeli Bestseller** "Miriam's Song: The Story of Miriam Peretz" Miriam’s Song is a poignant and powerful look into the life of Miriam Peretz, and Israeli woman who lost both her sons to war. Both soldiers of distinction and passion, the book depicts the effects of her loss and how she survived her grief. In these pages is the story of pain and resilience, the mingled song of hope begun by one womand and echoed by a nation. Paperback, 398 pages. This book was a collaboration between Miriam Peretz and Smadar Shir, a famed Israeli author and journalist.

An Evangelical Response to Israel's Evangelical Enemies - Israel Today

An Evangelical Response to Israel's Evangelical Enemies

Tuesday, March 08, 2016 |  Israel Today Staff

As Evangelical foes of the notion that Israel's modern rebirth has anything to do with the Bible gather in Bethlehem, it seems a fitting time to draw attention to this powerful video series.

What's happening at the Christ at the Checkpoint conference is nothing news. Replacement Theology has dogged the Jewish people for millennia. And its proponents have become increasingly rabid over the past half century as Israel's rebirth provided concrete evidence that God was not finished with the physical sons of Jacob.

Israel's Evangelical enemies will say it's ludicrous to continue to lay claim to land promises made thousands of years ago. They'll insist that Yeshua's coming spiritualized each and every promise God ever made to the People of Israel.

But that's a slippery and dangerous slope to go down, and jeopardizes our own claims to God's promises as Christians.

It also simply cannot account for the miraculous nature of Israel's physical reconstitution after millennia of exile, in perfect accordance with numerous biblical prophecies.

 

Evangelical Christians have traditionally been strong supporters of Israel and the Jewish people. Their support can no longer be taken for granted. There is now a strong movement to undermine evangelical support for Israel - and it is gaining momentum.
