Being an Ambassador for Messianic believers - in the British Embassy in Israel! - ONE FOR ISRAEL

Being an Ambassador for Messianic believers - in the British Embassy in Israel! - ONE FOR ISRAEL May 15, 2017 Dr Erez Soref President of  ONE FOR ISRAEL  Shalom! Recently I had the pleasure, along with other spiritual leaders in Israel, to attend an event at the British Embassy in honor of the Archbishop of Canterbury's visit to Israel. It was an unexpected honor since Messianic Jews are not officially   recognized or accepted in Israel. Due to a divine appointment that had happened just days earlier where a representative from the Embassy met a spouse of one of our staff, I received an invitation to the Embassy, to my great surprise! The important matter as far as I was concerned was that Messianic Jews were represented at such an official event. Pictured below is (from right to left) the Archbishop Justin Welby, along with Canon Hatem Shehadeh, an Arab brother who studied in our pastors' MA course, myself and Victor Kalisher, another Messianic believer who heads up the Bible Society in Jerusalem. The chief rabbi of the UK, Ephraim Mirvis, also came to Jerusalem with the Archbishop of Canterbury and the two prayed at the Western Wall and visited the Holocaust Museum, Yad VaShem.  In the face of all the controversy about the importance of Jerusalem to the Jewish people, Archbishop Justin Welby affirmed;  "The Temple Mount is the site of an historic temple and that is the heart of the people of Israel over many, many centuries, millennia in fact... We recognize the ongoing presence of the Jewish people and our eternal right to the city. It's the spiritual capital of the Jewish people and we're going through another episode of dispute."  Why not come see for yourself the miracle of modern Israel! Join us on a ministry trip, where you will not only see the sites, you will serve the people as well.  ONE FOR ISRAEL Ministry Trips not only show you the famous biblical sites of ancient Israel, we also provide once-in-a-lifetime opportunities to bless the people of modern Israel, both Jews and Arabs, through hands-on volunteer activities throughout our trips.  Service opportunities may include such activities as visiting the sick at an Israeli hospital, packing food for those in need, or putting on a program for Holocaust survivors. And whereas most tours to Israel only show you the ancient stones, we bring you face to face with "living stones" as well, Jewish and Arab Israeli believers who are a testament to God's faithfulness to Israel. With your believing tour guide leading you, you'll meet members of the body of Messiah in Israel and get a glimpse into what it is like to be a believer in Israel.  When you return home, you'll not only have memories of seeing places in Israel where God worked in the past, you'll also have stories of how God is working in Israel today!  So how do you get in on such a special trip? Simply go tooneforisrael.org/about-us/ministry-trips, select a trip, and follow the instructions to sign-up! We still have openings for our June and November trips and we'd love to have you join us! LIVING STONES OF JERUSALEM By sunset, Jerusalem's stone walls are radiant with rosy golden and tawny hues, making it glow like a city of gold. There is a law passed during the time of the British mandate forbidding building using any other stone other than Jerusalem stone in the area, to preserve the heritage of the beautiful city. But do you know what this famous "Jerusalem stone" is made of geologically? Continue reading...

More Clearly - Now Think On This by Steve Martin

More Clearly

Now Think On This

Steve Martin

“O God, You are awesome from Your sanctuary. The God of Israel Himself gives strength and power to the people. Blessed be God!” (Psalm 68:35, NASU)

Have you ever driven west from Iowa, Illinois or Minnesota, heading to the region in the USA known as the Rocky Mountains? Then you will know what I am talking about.

I remember as a pre-teen kid Dad and Mom would load up the 1962 Ford station wagon, sky blue in color, hitch Dad’s homemade camper trailer to it, painted to exactly match the color of the Martin vehicle, and haul all eight of us (at that time, before there were 10) on a camping trip to Colorado. A bit crowded it could be, but with the very back end having a bench seat on each side of the car that came up out of the floor, we made it work.

Clark Griswold and his wife Ellen, kids Rusty and Audrey in the box-office hit National Lampoon’s Vacation (Warner Bros 1983) couldn’t have carried it out any better than we did. Four is no match for eight.

As we cruised along Highway 80 into the setting sun, passing the six foot high cornfields in the flat (very flat) farmland of Nebraska, we entered the Rocky Mountain state of Colorado. At first, no big deal. All looked about the same. But then, up ahead, a hazy outline began to be seen off in the distance. Just clouds? Maybe a rain storm? Car window needing washing? (Probably that especially.)

When the outline came more into focus, the gray became blacker. Then we could see white caps on sections at the top. And finally, the awesome, majestic, created mountains of the Lord came into full view. What a spectacular sight to behold!

Our God is like that. At times we can barely make out who He is, or what He is doing with us. It is just as the Bible says in 1 Corinthians 13:12, “For now we see obscurely in a mirror, but then it will be face to face. Now I know partly; then I will know fully, just as God has fully known me.” (Complete Jewish Bible)

Our God is an awesome God. We do not see or understand everything clearly now. Sometimes we seem to be just walking in a haze. But as we continue to stick to the path set before us in obedience, step by step, we will eventually see what He is doing, and more fully understand later how He actually did it.

Thinking of the Jewish Patriarchs of Old – Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and of course Joseph and Moses (along with their faithful wives!) – following after the Lord will always mean having to push forward in faith. (Hey, there may even be a step backward or two. Each of the afore mentioned had their times of doubt, unbelief, and misguided moments. But the faithful Lord they served didn’t leave them there, but carried them through.)

We who bow our knees and serve the living God of Israel, the awesome and perfect One, the King of kings and the Lord of lords, will more clearly see Him as He is. We will comprehend the greatness of His works, the love of His heart, and the prefect ways He watches over His People.

There is nothing or no one who can stop His eternal plan from being fulfilled, for again, our God is the awesome God. There is none like Him in all His glory and power.

Thank you Lord!
