Today's Israel Inspiration

We find ourselves amid one of the most special weeks of the year, when the nation of Israel celebrates our festival of redemption. On Passover we commemorate our thanks to God and joyfully sing His praises as we remember what the Lord did for our ancestors long ago in Egypt. Yet, not every Israeli family can enjoy the Passover holiday, as many needy Jews suffer in poverty today in the Holy Land. When Israel rejoices this Passover, may God rejoice and bring the redemption that we are all praying for. Please help a needy family rejoice in the festival of Passover and may God bless you and your family richly.

Top Ten Hebrew Words to Know on Passover

One of the most exciting holidays on the Jewish calendar, Passover is chock-full of educational opportunities and exciting lessons to learn for every generation.  Take a moment to learn the top 10 Hebrew words spoken by Jews throughout the beautiful holiday!



✡ Peace of Jerusalem ✡


The first Hebrew word many people learn is “shalom” (שלום), which has three meanings: hello, goodbye and peace. It is the word with which friends greet one another, but ‘shalom’ is more than a greeting, it is also a blessing. Peace is the most important gift we can ask from God, on an individual level, as families, and between nations. It is therefore of utmost significance that the world’s holiest city, Jerusalem (ירושלים), has the word ‘shalom’ at its core, because it is meant to be the source for all peace on earth. King David exhorts “Pray for the peace of Jerusalem,” for when Jerusalem is confronted with conflict, the whole world suffers, however when Jerusalem is at peace, the entire world enjoys serenity.

Joel C. Rosenberg's Blog: Meeting Egyptian President el-Sisi, the man who wants to “rebrand” Egypt.

Egypt-Sisi-smiling

New post on Joel C. Rosenberg's Blog

Meeting Egyptian President el-Sisi, the man who wants to “rebrand” Egypt. (My new column in The Jerusalem Post.)

by joelcrosenberg
(Central Israel) -- This morning, The Jerusalem Post published a new column of mine. In it, I describe my recent meeting with the leader of Egypt and three distinct impressions of him that I walked away with. Below, you'll find a few excerpts, and a link to the full column on the Post website.
I ask all Christians around the world to continue praying for the Christians of Egypt as they mourn those killed and wounded in two savage suicide bombings there on Palm Sunday, and to continue praying for the leaders of Egypt as they battle the radicals and work to improve security -- and the economy -- for Christians and all their citizens.
As I noted yesterday, these attacks were not isolated incidents. Rather, "they are the latest salvos in a dangerous new ISIS offensive to destabilize Egypt, and they underscore the urgency of close Egyptian security cooperation with both the U.S. and Israel to neutralize this jihadist threat." Let us stand in solidarity with Egypt at this critical time.
By Joel C. Rosenberg, Jerusalem Post, April 11, 2017
On Wednesday, I had the honor of participating in a two-hour meeting with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah Sisi in Washington, DC....
As a result of what I saw and heard during the meeting, as well as in President Sisi’s interactions with US President Donald Trump, congressional leaders and American business leaders, I came away with three distinct impressions.
  • First, President Sisi is a man determined to rebrand Egypt as a trustworthy and stable American and Western ally after years of political chaos and instability.
  • Second, as the former commander-in-chief of the Egyptian military, Sisi is well trained and well positioned to make Egypt an effective leader in the fight against radical Islamic terrorism.
  • Third, as the leader of the first Arab nation ever to sign a peace treaty with Israel, President Sisi believes Egypt offers a model that can help lead the region to peace with the Jewish state. What has intrigued me as I have studied Sisi is how much he admires the late Egyptian president Anwar Sadat, even though Sadat was assassinated for visiting Jerusalem and agreeing to the 1979 Camp David Accords. Most Egyptians opposed the peace deal then. Many still do.

What is happening with the Jerusalem Journal? - Brian Schrauger



What is happening with the Jerusalem Journal?

Brian Schrauger 


It's been awhile. Have you missed me? Lol. Actually, there is a lot to report. Here in Israel, God is opening amazing doors for the Jerusalem Journal. As usual, however, moving through them means spiritual warfare; a lot of it.

As write these words, my immediate reaction is a rueful chuckle.

Spiritual war, especially here, is not a surprise. After all, as a non-profit news agency, our mission is to inform Christian watchmen with regional and global news, especially events that are setting the stage for things the Bible has prophesied.

That's why our news slogan is, "For such a time as this."

Considering where we are and the fascinating days in which we live, spiritual warfare is not going to diminish. With your support, however, it will not stop our advance.

As partners with us — as partners with God — in this venture, I am grateful for your cover as together we move toward and through each door.

Have you seen our daily videos? Almost every day we are posting a one to two minute video report from locations around Jerusalem and other places too.

In fact, the Jerusalem Journal is about to have two locations: one in Jerusalem and the other in the Galilee! In two months, James and Maddy Worthington and their young family are moving north. Their new, and gorgeous, location means the Jerusalem Journal positioned to report directly from the hotpoint of Israel's north, close to its borders with Syria and Lebanon.

When Israel's next war comes, most concur: it will come from one, or both, of these countries.

Oh, and have you seen the Chaim Report? Based on the model of the well-known Drudge Report, the Chaim Report offers Israel-related headlines from around the world. Every headline is linked to its original report.


 
Updated 24/7, the Chaim Report offers watchmen a first-stop location for end-times related news. We glean the news and give you the results.

Actually, our newest volunteer, Rhonda Ballance, is the reason we are able to do this. For many months, I tracked stories Rhonda was posting to her Facebook Group, "Yesterday's Prophecies, Today's News."

Her ability to identify and glean stories is a remarkable gift. I am thrilled she has agreed to be Editor of the Chaim Report.

Other opportunities are presenting themselves as well. We need your support to move ahead.

How can you help?
1. We need $1,000 a month to let other Christian watchmen know who we are and the timely information that we offer. Click here.

2. We also need $1,000 a month to set up a "Righteous Palestinian" division. Click here.

3. And there are equipment needs. Two MacBook Air computers would be a tremendous help in composing reports, posting news and managing the website. Two more regular MacBooks are also needed. Oh, and we need a number of video production items.

4. Volunteer! Right now, our top need is for a gifted administrator.

5. Funding for operating expenses is not a jazzy need, but it is a critical one. Transportation, housing and food costs are the stuff of everyday life. Right now, the need here is for an additional $5,000 a month. Click here.
I know you have a giving budget and/or designated funds for partnering with God and his kingdom.

The Jerusalem Journal is doing...
...his kingdom work
...in his land
...on behalf of his people,
...for you, and
...in such a time as this.
Would you, right now, designate funds you have already allocated for his work, his plan, specifically for the Jerusalem Journal?

Let me know, would you? The encouragement of your support is priceless.

From Jerusalem, I am thanking God for you, especially in such a time as this...
