Governor Mike Huckabee lends his support to ONE FOR ISRAEL

Shalom from Israel! We recently received a message from a friend of the ministry, saying that they had found our I met Messiah videos and began sharing them with their 88 year old Jewish friend... who has now asked Jesus to redeem her! We are always so happy to hear of people coming to faith in Yeshua as their Messiah, in Israel and all over the world, as I'm sure you are too. We have many wonderful stories to tell of what the Lord is doing in saving his people, in Israel and beyond - stories that have reached the ears of Governor Mike Huckabee, former presidential candidate! We have been very encouraged by his endorsement of our ministry.  Meet Carlos, an Israeli Arab brother with a remarkable testimony of how he came to faith! From a life of drugs and crime, he is now a pastor and a valuable part of our ONE FOR ISRAEL team. Come and hear his story, and his vision for reaching Arabic speakers in Israel and beyond the borders to Israel's neighbors! ** Please note that the date for our event in Grand Rapids,  West Michigan is actually October 25th,  not 24th as previously advertised. ARAB AND JEW FIND YESHUA TOGETHER  An Arab man and his Jewish boss were led to faith in Yeshua together by an Arab Israeli believer... in Texas! It's a pretty crazy story - buckle up! About a year ago, Eitan and Erez were on their way to a One For Israel appointment in Texas, but due to a hitch, Erez ended up stuck in Istanbul for 24 hours. Happily, he found himself in the company of several other men from Israel in the same predicament, two of whom were bound for the same destination. Continue reading... WHY KEEP PRAYING FOR THE SAME THING? Elijah climbed to the top of Carmel, bent down to the ground and put his face between his knees. "Go and look toward the sea," he told his servant. And he went up and looked.   "There is nothing there," he said. Seven times Elijah said, "Go back." The seventh time the servant reported, "A cloud as small as a man's hand is rising from the sea." (1 Kings 18:41-44) How do you imagine Elijah might feel when by the third time of checking for an answer to his fervent prayer there was absolutely no sign of the "heavy rain" he had promised to King Ahab? The fourth time? Fifth? Why does God ask us to keep asking for the same thing repeatedly? Continue reading... FOLLOW US:

Violence Erupts In America’s Heartland As Milwaukee Becomes The Latest U.S. City To Burn - Michael Snyder THE ECONOMIC COLLAPSE BLOG

Violence Erupts In America’s Heartland As Milwaukee Becomes The Latest U.S. City To Burn Posted: 14 Aug 2016  Michael Snyder  THE ECONOMIC COLLAPSE BLOG The city of Milwaukee, Wisconsin exploded in violence last night as the wave of chaos and civil unrest that is sweeping across America continues to intensify.  At this point, many of our largest cities have become powder kegs of anger and frustration, and a full-blown riot can be set off with a single bullet.  In this case, an armed suspect was shot and killed by Milwaukee police as he attempted to evade the police, and his death almost instantly set off pandemonium in the heart of the city.   America is being ripped apart, and much more violence is coming.  Decades of social decay and economic decline have fundamentally transformed many of our greatest cities, and tensions that have been simmering for a very long time are now being brought to a boil.  Sadly, it seems quite likely that we will see even more rage, hatred and divisiveness in the months ahead. The sudden eruption of violence that we witnessed in Milwaukee last night was absolutely stunning.  Within just hours after the shooting of the armed suspect, fires were burning all over the city… Protesters clashed with officers in the hours after a Milwaukee police officer shot and killed an armed suspect during a foot chase. After an hours-long confrontation with officers, police reported that a gas station was set on fire. Police said firefighters initially could not get close to the blaze because of gunshots. Later, fires were started at a bank branch, a beauty supply company and an auto parts store as scores of people gathered near the crime scene on the city’s north side, a grim Mayor Tom Barrett said at a news conference Saturday night. He said the unrest was driven by a social media frenzy urging people to gather in the area. Of course police were one of the primary targets of the violence.  It is being reported that at least one squad car was set ablaze, and another had a brick thrown through a window. One prominent Milwaukee city official is blaming racial injustice for the violence.  The following comes from CNN… City Alderman Khalif Rainey said the area has been a “powder keg” for potential violence throughout the summer. “What happened tonight may not have been right and I am not justifying that but no one can deny the fact that there are problems, racial problems in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, that need to be rectified,” Rainey said. “This community of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, has become the worst place to live for African Americans in the entire country.” Rainey said Saturday’s violence was a byproduct of inequities, injustice, unemployment and under-education. “Something has to be done to address these issues,” he said. “The black people of Milwaukee are tired, they are tired of living under this oppression, this is their life.” Without a doubt, the suffering that is going on in our inner cities is intense.  Our economic infrastructure has been gutted by decades of bad trade deals, and evidence of severe social and moral decay is all around us. But no matter how bad things are, there is never any excuse for committing random acts of violence.  In addition to setting businesses on fire, it is being reported that rioters were trying to drag people out of their vehicles in order to beat them up. How in the world does that solve anything? Meanwhile, police all over the nation continue to be targets of violence.  In a previous article, I told my readers that the number of police officers that have been shot and killed this year has risen by 78 percent compared to last year. Well, over the past few days some more officers have been added to the list.  For example, the following is an excerpt from a CNN report about an officer that was just shot and killed in south Georgia… A police officer was shot dead while responding to a call of a suspicious person in south Georgia, authorities said. The shooting occurred Saturday night after the officer, Tim Smith, got the call in a residential area in Eastman, special agent Scott Whitley of the Georgia Bureau of Investigations said. While on patrol, Smith encountered the subject and exited his car. That’s when he was fatally shot, Whitley said. And this is from a Fox News report about an officer that was shot and killed in New Mexico… Two Ohio fugitives wanted for a murder have been arrested after authorities say one of them fatally shot a New Mexico police officer. Dona Ana County Sheriff’s spokeswoman Kelly Jameson said Saturday that 38-year-old Jesse Hanes is suspected of gunning down Hatch Police Officer Jose Chavez during a traffic stop Friday. In addition, there was another very disturbing incident that just happened a few days ago in Arkansas.  When a suspect started shooting at police officers, one was killed, one was wounded, and a police dog named Kina that got hit and ran away was just found on Saturday… Police spokeswoman Kristin Faulkenberry told reporters the dog, named Kina, “was up and walking” when searchers found the animal Friday morning near where the shooting unfolded near Hackett, about 115 miles west of Little Rock. The dog was shot and ran into a wooded area Wednesday when a man identified as Billy Monroe Jones opened fire on officers, killing Sebastian County Deputy Bill Cooper and wounding Hackett Police Chief Darrell Spells. Earlier today I talked to a friend of mine that works as a police officer, and he admitted that he and his wife do think about all of this violence that is being directed at the police.  I suppose that it would be exceedingly difficult not to.  Those that are serving their communities in this way are going to have a very tough time moving forward.  At this point every single law enforcement officer in the entire nation is a potential target, and they are just going to have to find a way to deal with this new reality. America is more divided than I have ever seen in my entire lifetime.  Instead of learning how to love one another, hatred is growing by the day. More chaos is coming, more violence is coming, and more of our cities will burn. Things didn’t have to turn out this way, but thanks to decades of incredibly foolish decisions we will now reap what we have sown.

Coin vs Narrative - Tsvi Sadan ISRAEL TODAY

Coin vs Narrative

Monday, August 15, 2016 |  

Tsvi Sadan  ISRAEL TODAY

The peace activist archeologists of Emek Shaveh want us to move away from treating archeological findings as evidence of one's faith and nationality, which basically means that they want Jews to forget about their particular past. 

Instead of focusing on Jewish history, Emek Shaveh wants to "reinstate the archaeological past as a universal human narrative." The goal of all of this is to counter the claim of Israel's historical right to this land.

Ancient artifacts, however, resist the idea of one universal narrative simply because they tell a particular story of a particular people. Though archeological sites and the findings therein need to be interpreted, the reconstruction of the past is still a science governed by evidences. In other words, archeological sites resist turning myths into narratives (the first is fact-based and the second is not). 

Some evidences, like coins, yield precise historical information. Others, like a wall, contain far less information. Evidences of varied qualities therefore enable a reasonable reconstruction of the past. 

Universal narrative, on the other hand, would have you believe that though Americans built the Hoover Dam on American soil, it should be regarded as a human narrative rather than American history. Sure, Americans are humans, but it is undeniably true that those humans who built the dam were Americans.

The sixteen silver and bronze coins found near the city of Modi'in last May represent one of countless evidences that refuse to yield to the universal narrative idea. These rare coins bear names like Yehohanan, Judah, Jonathan and Mattathias, all Hasmonean kings who ruled over Israel from 140-37 BCE. Other coins from the same cache are imprinted with the image of the Seleucid Greek king Antiochus IV, known also from the Book of Maccabees, and from the feast of Hanukkah. 

The Israel Antiquities Authority has determined that the coins were minted in Tyre between 135-126 BCE, so precise is the information that can be extracted from them.

Abraham Tendler, the head of the excavation, has said the dig site itself is most likely a Jewish estate and "the cache may have belonged to a Jew who hid his money in the hope of coming back to collect it, but he was unlucky and never did return." 

Tendler, true to the demands of his discipline, leaves the reconstructed story undetermined. The coins' imprints however confirm the known, that there were Hasmonean kings and a king named Antiochus. These coins testify once again to the bond which exists between the Land of Israel and the Jewish people which can't be dissolved by some magic formula, be it a narrative or forgetfulness by design.

Studio Asked Him to Direct The New BEN-HUR Film and He Said 'No Way' Without this Change - GRACE HILL MEDIA CHARISMA NEWS

Studio Asked Him to Direct The New BEN-HUR Film and He Said 'No Way' Without this Change

 8/13/2016 GRACE HILL MEDIA  CHARISMA NEWS

Director Timur Bekmambetov says he has honored to be asked by MGM to direct the studio's reinterpretation of the classic novel BEN-HUR: A TALE OF THE CHRIST, filmed for the big screen twice before. But Bekmambetov only took the job after he was certain he could implement his vision for spotlighting a different theme from the 1880 novel than the famous Charlton Heston version of the film did.

"The 1959 movie was about revenge, not about forgiveness," Bekmambetov told the entertainment Web site COLLIDER. "For me that was the main problem; I think that the novel is mainly about forgiveness, about the fact that a human being learned how to forgive."

When Bekmambetov saw the script and talked with producers, including Mark Burnett and Roma Downey, the team behind THE BIBLE miniseries, he felt the other filmmakers had the same thoughts about the movie and the same morals about life. What emerged, then, is the epic story of Judah Ben-Hur (Jack Huston), a prince falsely accused of treason by his adopted brother Messala (Toby Kebbell), an officer in the Roman army. Stripped of his title, separated from his family and the woman he loves (Nazanin Boniadi), Judah is forced into slavery. After years at sea, Judah returns to his homeland to seek revenge, but an encounter with Jesus (Rodrigo Santoro) leads him to the Crucifixion, where he discovers forgiveness and finds redemption.

That change in heart for Judah fueled by his interaction with Christ, is what gives the new movie it's power and relevance to today's audience, Bekmambetov says.

"Our modern world actually reminds me very much of a huge Roman Empire," he explained to COLLIDER. "In the Roman Empire, the most important important values were pride, rivalry, power, strength, the dictatorship of power and self-love. This kind of world does not have any prospects today.

"Humanity has to learn how to love and forgive."

"For These Things I Weep" ✡ Stunning Archaeological Evidence of the Second Temple - ISRAEL365

For these things I weep; mine eye, mine eye runneth down with water; because the comforter is far from me, even he that should refresh my soul; my children are desolate, because the enemy has prevailed. Lamentations 1:16 (The Israel Bible™)   עַל-אֵלֶּה אֲנִי בוֹכִיָּה עֵינִי עֵינִי יֹרְדָה מַּיִם--כִּי-רָחַק מִמֶּנִּי מְנַחֵם מֵשִׁיב נַפְשִׁי הָיוּ בָנַי שׁוֹמֵמִים כִּי גָבַר אוֹיֵב איכה א:טז al ay-le a-nee vo-khi-ya ay-nee ay-nee yor-da ma-yim kee ra-khak mi-me-nee m'-na-khaym may-sheev naf-shee ha-yu va-nai sho-may-meem kee ga-var o-yayv

Today's Israel Inspiration On the Jewish calendar, today marks the bitter fast day known as Tisha B'Av, the 9th of Av, the day when the Temples in Jerusalem were destroyed. One may ask, "How does the Temple - or its absence - really affect me?" One way to emotionally connect with the impact of the loss of the Temple is to keep in mind that the Temple was God's house where we were able to relate to His presence up close. With its loss, that incredible feeling of being connected to God is not readily available to us. Our Sages teach that one way to bring God closer is by performing acts of charity and good deeds to those in need. Follow in the footsteps of Colel Chabad and support the poor of Jerusalem.   Bless the poor of Jerusalem » Traditional Tune for Lamentations Cantor Jeffrey Siegel chants the traditional melancholy tune for Chapter 1 of Lamentations ("Eicha"), which is recited on Tisha B'Av (the 9th of Av).   Watch here » Cutting-Edge Multiple Sclerosis Center in Israel a Light Unto the Nations Israel's Grabski Center is the only place in the world which combines the cognitive and physical capabilities of people with MS to slow down the bodily atrophy of those plagued by the disease.   Read more » Cherish Ancient Jerusalem   Tisha B'av is the Jewish day of mourning for the countless calamities that have befallen the Jews throughout history, the most tragic of which was the destruction of the Holy Temple.
