Did you know that many Jewish people have come to faith on the Day of Atonement? It's this Wednesday! - ONE FOR ISRAEL



Dr Erez Soref President of  ONE FOR ISRAEL 
Shalom!

This Wednesday will be the Biblical Day of Atonement, or Yom Kippur, as we call it in Hebrew.

Many Jewish people have come to faith at this significant time, and we would love you to join us in praying this week in particular: That our people, the people of Israel, would come to know and enjoy the atonement that Yeshua provided for us all.
 

YOM KIPPUR - A DAY OF PRAYER AND FASTING
There will be quiet and empty roads across the land of Israel for the holiest day of the Jewish calendar: Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, which starts on Tuesday evening at sundown and continues through to Wednesday evening. 

Most Jewish will people go without food and drink for 24 hours and attend special Yom Kippur services at synagogues, even if they are not especially religious - much in the same way that many people celebrate Christmas even though they don't believe in Jesus. The habit of fasting and quiet contemplation on this day is a well-ingrained part of Jewish culture. 

And while reflecting in the synagogue on what it all means, sometimes God meets them there. Here are some stories of Jewish people who had that experience. Continue reading...


"From growing up Jewish, I understood about the importance of atonement, and it made me nervous. 
If God was even real, I realized that I was just was so far away from him... and I had no way of being able to get back together with him, or to have atonement." 



YESHUA IN YOM KIPPUR, THE DAY OF ATONEMENT
There are many ways in which the Biblical ordinance of Yom Kippur foreshadows the greatest atonement of all: the sacrifice of the Messiah himself. 

God's lists of seemingly strange and even barbaric commands about blood sacrifice in the Law can be bewildering to us in the twenty-first century sometimes, but when we look carefully at the detailed instructions and what is behind them, it can be overwhelming we start to see the beauty and depth of God's wisdom and prophetic plans. Continue reading...

Israeli Americans: We're Sticking With Trump 'Despite His Shortcomings' - BOB ESCHLIMAN CHARISMA NEWS

Israeli Americans: We're Sticking With Trump 'Despite His Shortcomings'

BOB ESCHLIMAN  CHARISMA NEWS
In the media storm that followed the release of Donald Trump's 11-year-old conversation with an entertainment reporter, a number of conservative and evangelical leaders have expressed they were rethinking their support for the businessman's presidential campaign.
The Israelis rounding up votes for him among the 200,000 Americans living there are not, in spite of his "shortcomings."
"I have five daughters and they will all, all, vote for Trump," Republicans Overseas Israel Chairman Marc Zell told Army Radio in an interview over the weekend. "I'm saying he doesn't need to [resign]. He did what he did. His comments are disgusting and absolutely unacceptable, we are against it...he said he's not perfect, he apologized."
Zell said as reprehensible as Trump's comments were, they "pale in comparison" to Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton's offenses, particularly her leaked emails and her cozy relationship with Wall Street globalists. He said the public wants Trump, despite his shortcomings, over Clinton's "failures, corruption and lies."
He further called on Republicans to continue to support the party's nominee.
"I call upon all the Republican leadership, who understand like we do that we need a change to the White House immediately and undo eight years of damage caused by Obama and Clinton to the United States around the world—to unite and to support the ticket, from the top to the bottom," he said.
Those comments are significant. Until just a few months ago, Zell was among the establishment Republicans who refused to support Trump. In December of last year, ahead of a planned Trump visit with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, he said:
"The voters understand that to lead the United States, you need a person who knows more than how to sell products, with all due respect to Donald Trump, and everything he has achieved in his career. In my opinion, he cannot be president of the United States."
ROI's Board of Directors quickly put out their own statement saying Zell didn't speak on their behalf, and that they were not taking sides in the GOP presidential primary. He later told the Times of Israel he came to terms with the outcome of the primary and agreed with his party's leaders that any Republican was better than any Democrat on matters of importance to Israel.

'The New York Times' Calls for Obama to Support a UN Resolution That Would Divide the Land of Israel - MICHAEL SNYDER CHARISMA NEWS

'The New York Times' Calls for Obama to Support a UN Resolution That Would Divide the Land of Israel

MICHAEL SNYDER  CHARISMA NEWS
While most Americans are focused on the endless circus surrounding Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, a drama of Earth-shattering importance is playing out behind the scenes.
Most people seem to assume that we don't have to be concerned about Barack Obama anymore because his second term is scheduled to end in a few months, but the truth is that an absolutely critical decision is in his hands right now. Both Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton have said that they will not support a proposed U.N. Security Council resolution that would formally establish a Palestinian state, that would set the parameters for the new state, and that would grant them East Jerusalem as their capital.
So at this moment there is a tremendous amount of international pressure on Barack Obama to support such a resolution, because the U.S. veto power on the U.N. Security Council is the only thing standing in the way of formally dividing the land of Israel. I wrote about this in Augustin September, and now I am writing about it again in October. If Obama is going to do this, it needs to happen by Jan. 20, 2017, and so for the next few months we are officially in "the danger zone."
On Thursday, The New York Times editorial board added their voice to the growing chorus of those calling for a "parameters resolution" in a piece entitled "At the Boiling Point With Israel."
The best idea under discussion now would be to have the United Nations Security Council, in an official resolution, lay down guidelines for a peace agreement covering such issues as Israel's security, the future of Jerusalem, the fate of Palestinian refugees and borders for both states.
In the article, The New York Times editorial board also strongly endorsed the U.S. State Department's recent condemnation of Israel's plan to build new housing units in the West Bank.
I have included the official State Department statement on this matter below. Just like Barack Obama did at the U.N. recently, the State Department referred to Israel's presence in the West Bank as an "occupation."
We strongly condemn the Israeli government's recent decision to advance a plan that would create a significant new settlement deep in the West Bank.
Proceeding with this new settlement, which could include up to 300 units, would further damage the prospects for a two state solution. The retroactive authorization of nearby illegal outposts, or redrawing of local settlement boundaries, does not change the fact that this approval contradicts previous public statements by the Government of Israel that it had no intention of creating new settlements. And this settlement's location deep in the West Bank, far closer to Jordan than Israel, would link a string of outposts that effectively divide the West Bank and make the possibility of a viable Palestinian state more remote.
It is deeply troubling, in the wake of Israel and the U.S. concluding an unprecedented agreement on military assistance designed to further strengthen Israel's security, that Israel would take a decision so contrary to its long term security interest in a peaceful resolution of its conflict with the Palestinians. Furthermore, it is disheartening that while Israel and the world mourned the passing of President Shimon Peres, and leaders from the U.S. and other nations prepared to honor one of the great champions of peace, plans were advanced that would seriously undermine the prospects for the two-state solution that he so passionately supported.
Israelis must ultimately decide between expanding settlements and preserving the possibility of a peaceful two state solution. Since the recent Quartet report called on both sides to take affirmative steps to reverse current trends and advance the two state solution on the ground, we have unfortunately seen just the opposite. Proceeding with this new settlement is another step towards cementing a one-state reality of perpetual occupation that is fundamentally inconsistent with Israel's future as a Jewish and democratic state. Such moves will only draw condemnation from the international community, distance Israel from many of its partners, and further call into question Israel's commitment to achieving a negotiated peace.
As you can see on the official State Department website, that press release was issued on Oct. 5.
At the exact same time, Hurricane Matthew was rapidly gaining strength, and it ultimately became the first category 5 hurricane to form in the Atlantic since 2007. It proceeded to slam into the southeastern United States, causing billions of dollars of damage in the process. The following comes from Wikipedia:
Preparations began in earnest across the southeastern United States as Matthew approached, with several states declaring a state of emergency for either entire states or coastal counties; widespread evacuations were ordered for extensive areas of the coast. On October 6, U.S. President Barack Obama declared a federal state of emergency for Florida.[1]The federal disaster declaration was later extended to include Georgia and South Carolina.[2] In Florida, over 1 million lost power as the storm passed to the east, with 478,000 losing power in Georgia and South Carolina.
When will we learn?
For decades the pattern has always been the same. Every time we come against Israel, the consequences are immediate and they are dramatic.
Unfortunately, our leaders never seem to learn, and now we stand on the precipice of perhaps the biggest betrayal of Israel of all time. Here is more from the New York Times about why they believe it is important to put "pressure" on Israel in the form of a UN Security Council resolution.
The most plausible pressure would come from Mr. Obama's leading the Security Council to put its authority behind a resolution to support a two-state solution and offer the outlines of what that could be. That may seem like a bureaucratic response unlikely to change anything, but it is the kind of political pressure Mr. Netanyahu abhors and has been working assiduously to prevent.
No, such a resolution would not just be "a bureaucratic response."
A U.N. Security Council resolution would be legally binding on both Israel and the Palestinians, and whoever is elected in November would not be able to go back and undo it.
Such a resolution would permanently divide the land of Israel, it would give formal U.N. recognition to a Palestinian state for the very first time, and it would hand East Jerusalem over to the Palestinians.
And according to the Times of Israel, the U.N. Security Council could begin discussing these matters as soon as next Friday.
The Security Council is expected to hold a session next Friday under the official banner: "The settlements as the obstacle to peace and a two-state solution."
The meeting, initiated by the Palestinians, is considered the opening salvo to a resolution condemning Israel for settlement activity.
This process could result in just a resolution condemning Israeli settlement activity, but there is also a tremendous amount of concern that Obama could use this as an opportunity to "leave a legacy" in the Middle East. Here is more from the Times of Israel:
Israeli government members have been worried that Obama, before leaving office in January but after a successor is chosen in November, may seek to impose or advance a solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, or at least set out parameters for how it should be solved, including through the Security Council by not using the US veto for any anti-Israel resolutions.
According to a Channel 2 report Thursday, an Israeli official charged that the "disproportionate criticism" from Washington over the latest construction plans was "an alibi" to cover plans by Obama to take anti-Israel actions in the final weeks of his presidency.
If this happens, it will be the worst thing that Barack Obama has done during his entire time in the White House.
Whether it is Barack Obama or someone else, the truth is that someday the U.S. government will have a major role in dividing the land of Israel, and it is one of the most important prophetic markers that we are watching for.
Because once the land of Israel gets divided, all hell is going to break loose in America.
I have discussed the potential consequences for dividing the land of Israel on television, and in my new book I warn about all of the historic disasters that are coming to this nation.
If we get to Jan. 20 and another president takes over and there has been no U.N. Security Council resolution, perhaps we can breathe a little bit of a sigh of relief.
But if Barack Obama does what The New York Times and so many others are urging him to do, the consequences for this country and for the world will be absolutely unimaginable.
So while you are keeping up with the latest insults that Trump and Clinton are hurling at one another, don't forget about Obama, because what he decides to do regarding Israel in the months ahead is going to have dramatic implications for all of us.

Archeologists: The Biblical Story Happened Right Here - Tsvi Sadan ISRAEL TODAY

Archaeologists: The Biblical Story Happened Right Here

Monday, October 10, 2016 |  Tsvi Sadan  ISRAEL TODAY
Next to Jerusalem, Lachish was the most important city from the time of King Rehoboam until the exile of Judea in 586 BCE. The archeological site of Tel Lachish has been undergoing excavation for decades, but, given its enormous size, only in March of this year was the elaborate structure of the city gate fully revealed. 
According to excavation director Sa'ar Ganor, the "Gate Shrine," the specific site that now is being fully exposed, points to none other than King Hezekiah.
More specifically, the findings at the Gate Shrine are linked to Hezekiah's religious reforms mentioned in 2 Kings 18:4: "He [Hezekiah] removed the high places and broke down the sacred pillars and cut down the Asherah." 
The broken horns of the twin alters located within the Gate's elaborate structure were broken to desecrate the pagan alters. The latrines found within the Gate also point to a common practice used to desecrate pagan holy places, first mentioned in connection with King Jehu: "They also broke down the sacred pillar of Baal and broke down the house of Baal, and made it a latrine to this day" (2 Kings 10:27). 
Tests conducted by the Israel Antiquity Authority found that these latrines were never used, adding weight to the notion that they served as a sign of defilement.
The Gate also reveals that the biblical institution of the "City Gate" was real. Ganor points to well persevered benches located within the gate's chambers: "According to biblical descriptions, the gate of a city was where everything happened. The elders of the city, the judges, governors, kings, and bureaucrats – all of them sat on the benches at the city gates," which now can actually be seen for the first time.
As expected, politicians were quick to seize the opportunity to emphasize modern Israel's connection to its biblical past. 
Minister of Culture and Sport Miri Regev said that this discovery is one of many in a long line that "give us a glimpse into our rich past." Minister of Environmental Protection Ze’ev Elkin said that the excavation is another example of how stories from the Bible are confirmed in archaeological records.

After This October Surprise, Donald Trump Only Has One Option Left: Expose The Clinton Crimes - Michael Snyder THE ECONOMIC COLLAPSE BLOG

hillary-clinton-vs-donald-trump-photo-by-donkeyhotey

Posted: 09 Oct 2016  Michael Snyder  THE ECONOMIC COLLAPSE BLOG

It is going to take a miracle of Biblical proportions for Donald Trump to win the election now.  If nothing changes between now and election day, Hillary Clinton is going to win in a landslide. 

Out of all the candidates that were running for president this election cycle (including third party candidates), a Hillary Clinton presidency would be the worst possible outcome, but it appears that is precisely what we are going to get.  The 2005 recording in which Donald Trump admits that he used his celebrity status to grope women would instantly kill the career of a normal politician, but Donald Trump is no normal politician.  In essence, he admitted to being a sexual predator, and there is no way that you can spin that to make it acceptable.  Of course these comments were made 11 years ago, and Trump is a different man now, but that isn’t going to matter much to the mainstream media or to a large portion of the American public. 

No matter what you or I may think about this, the cold, hard reality of the matter is that he is going to lose a lot of votes over this, and those were votes that he desperately needed if he hoped to defeat Hillary Clinton in November.

Since this recording came out, Trump has lost an incredible amount of support within his own party.  At this point, 73 prominent Republicans have either publicly attacked him or have announced that they will not be voting for him in November.

The release of this recording came at almost the perfect time for the Clinton campaign. 

There is less than a month to go until election day, and this recording will be played over and over and over again between then and now.  If it had been released earlier, the effect of the scandal would have likely faded before election day, and if it had been released just prior to election day there would not have been enough time for everyone in America to be exposed to it.

If Donald Trump can come back from this and win the election, it will be the greatest political miracle of all time.

For those that still are not familiar with this recording, you can find it along with the Washington Post article that originally broke this story right here.  The things that Trump said are truly disgusting, and his remarks are too dirty to be reproduced in this article.
According to a different Washington Post article, producers at Access Hollywood only just recently started looking through their archives for past interviews with Trump…
NBC News first became aware of the footage late Monday after receiving notice from producers at “Access Hollywood,” a syndicated entertainment-news program owned by NBC. The program’s producers had combed their archives for interviews with Trump after reading an Associated Press account of crude remarks he had made about female contestants on “The Apprentice,” the NBC reality program that Trump had starred on for 14 seasons.
I find this highly suspicious.  Trump has been the biggest story in politics for more than a year, and Access Hollywood only started searching their archives for Trump material just a few days ago?

If you believe that, then I have a very large bridge on the west coast that I would like to sell you.

After the tape was supposedly “discovered”, it was then subsequently leaked somehow to the Washington Post, but NBC News says that they have absolutely no plans to investigate how the tape was leaked.

This doesn’t smell right either.  Unless you are negligent to the extreme, you definitely would want to know who is leaking your biggest news stories to your competitors.
Personally, I have a feeling that this was discovered a long time ago and was held back so that it could be an “October surprise”.  I cannot prove this of course, but that is my gut feeling.

And even worse material could still be coming.  In fact, a former producer on The Apprentice says that Donald Trump said “far worse” things on that show than were on the recording that was just released…
Following Friday’s release of audio in which Trump bragged about kissing and grabbing women without their permission, Bill Pruitt, a former producer on the show, said that there are “far worse” comments Trump made on tape.
“NBC had tape 11 yrs. Apprentice producer says they have more & worse. So why not release in 2015? In March? Why wait till October? #MSMBias” Cruz tweeted, referencing supposed bias towards Trump in the mainstream media.
Ted Cruz made an interesting point, but those tapes are actually not owned by NBC.  They are owned by Mark Burnett, and so they might not ever be released.

Before we get to the Clinton crimes, I also want to point out that the other voice on the infamous recording that has been released belongs to Billy Bush.

And Billy Bush just happens to be related to George H.W. Bush, George W. Bush and Jeb Bush.  The following comes from CNN
Is he really…? Yes. Billy Bush is a member of that Bush family.
His father, Jonathan Bush, is a banker and GOP donor who is the brother of former President George H.W. Bush. That means Billy Bush is a cousin to former President George W. Bush, as well as failed 2016 presidential nominee Jeb Bush.
So after everything that has been said and done, it looks like the Bush family is going to get their revenge on Donald Trump.

There was some talk in Republican circles of trying to replace Donald Trump, but the rules make it virtually impossible to remove a nominee.  And early voting has already begun in some states, and so it is pretty much too late to do something even if Trump was inclined to willingly step down.

At this point, the only option that Trump has left is to show the American people that the crimes of the Clintons are substantially worse than anything that he has ever done or said.
No mainstream Republican politician has ever really been willing to go there, but perhaps Trump will now be willing to discuss the fact that Bill Clinton is a notorious sexual predator

The following are just some of the women that have publicly accused Bill Clinton of sexual misconduct: Kathleen Willey, Connie Hamzy, Juanita Broaddrick, Eileen Wellstone, Sandra Allen James, Christy Zercher, Paula Jones, Monica Lewinsky, Gennifer Flowers, Elizabeth Ward Gracen, Sally Perdue, Lencola Sullivan, Susie Whitacre and Bobbie Ann William.
And in the aftermath of this Trump scandal, some of Bill Clinton’s accusers are publicly speaking out once again.  For example, Juanita Broaddrick is being very bold about the fact that Bill Clinton raped her
Bill Clinton rape accuser Juanita Broaddrick is weighing in on Donald Trump’s controversial comments from 2005 that are mysteriously resurfacing just hours before the second debate and weeks before the general election.
“How many times must it be said,” she tweeted Saturday morning.
“Actions speak louder than words. (Donald Trump) said bad things! (Hillary Clinton) threatened me after (Bill Clinton) raped me.”
And Breitbart is currently featuring an extended interview with Broaddrick that is absolutely stunning.  The following is a short excerpt
I was completely dressed. I had a skirt and a blouse. He tore the waist of my skirt. And then he ripped my pantyhose. And he raped me. It was very vicious. I was just pinned down… I did not know what to do. I was so frightened. I was only 35 at the time. And it was horrible. I just wanted it to be over with. So he would go away.
KLEIN: He got up?
BROADDRICK: No, he held me down for a long time. And then he did it again. I was so ready for him to leave me alone. When he started raping me again. And it was very brief… And he did get up and he straightened himself. And my mouth was bleeding and it was hurting. And he just straightens himself and goes to the door.
KLEIN: With you still on the bed?
BROADDRICK: Yes, crying. He straightens himself and he goes to the door. And puts on his sunglasses. And tells me to get some ice on that on my list. And goes out the door.
Hillary Clinton has a long list of sexual skeletons in her closet as well, but the mainstream media won’t touch them with a 10 foot pole.

In addition to the things mentioned above, here is a list of 18 other Clinton scandals that Donald Trump needs to bring up if he has any chance to winning this election…

1. Benghazi
2. Emailgate
3. The “Energizer”
4. Defending a child rapist
5. The Clinton Foundation
6. Whitewater
7. Vince Foster
8. Using the IRS to target their enemies during the Clinton administration
9. The FBI background report scandal
10. Chinagate
11. Travelgate
12. Looting the White House
13. Cattle Money
14. “Sniper Fire” in Bosnia
15. Huma Abedin
16. Jeffrey Epstein
17. The “Lolita Express
18. The Clinton Body Count

Do you know how quarterbacks “take a knee” at the end of football games to run out the clock when their teams are winning?

Well, the Clinton campaign is almost at that stage.

Unless we see some sort of a complete and utter collapse, Hillary Clinton is on course to cruise to victory.

The only chance that Donald Trump has of winning now is to somehow show America that the Clintons are much worse than he is.  There are decades of skeletons that Trump could dredge up if he is inclined to do so, and the American people definitely deserve to be exposed to the truth about the Clintons.

If Trump just sits back and tries to “focus on the issues”, Clinton will keep hammering him with this newly revealed recording over and over, and Trump will get absolutely destroyed on election day.

That may not sound fair, but this is how the game of politics in America is played. If Trump wants to have any hope of winning, he has got to be willing to expose the Clintons, and he has got to be willing to go all the way.
