Israel is starting this new week with a broken heart.

Workplaces conversations and all the leading headlines are focused on a single, tragic event - the deaths of 10 Israeli teenagers last Thursday when they were swept away in a flash flood near the southern end of the Dead Sea.

Across the country memorial services are being held, and all anyone can talk about was how to punish those responsible and to avoid such crushing heartache in the future.

The teens were all enrolled in a prestigious post-high school, pre-military academy that prepares young Israelis for army service and responsible citizenship. Many of the students and several of their counselors wondered at the wisdom of going ahead with the outing despite heavy rains that inevitably result in flash floods.

But it would seem that a macho attitude of accomplishing the "mission" at all costs won out, and the group of 23 teens was needlessly placed in mortal danger.

The heads of this particular pre-military academy (known in Hebrew as a mechina) have been arrested and are facing serious charges of criminal negligence.

But, as one commentator on Army Radio noted Sunday morning, the tragedy has also caused many Israelis to rethink this attitude of invincibility that such programs seek to instill in young Israelis prior to their military service.

A City of Unity ✡ "The Entire People Assembled As One Man In Yerushalayim" - Israel365

When the seventh month arrived—the Israelites being settled in their towns—the entire people assembled as one man in Yerushalayim Ezra 3:1 (The Israel Bible™) וַיִּגַּע הַחֹדֶשׁ הַשְּׁבִיעִי וּבְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל בֶּעָרִים וַיֵּאָסְפוּ הָעָם כְּאִישׁ אֶחָדאֶל־יְרוּשָׁלִָם Hear the verse in Hebrew va-yi-GA ha-KHO-desh ha-sh’-vee-EE uv-NAY yis-ra-AYL be-a-REEM va-yay-a-s’-FU ha-AM k’-EESH e-KHAD el y’-ru-sha-LA-im   A City of Unity This verse recalls the Revelation at Mount Sinai: “They encamped in the wilderness; and there Israel encamped before the mount.” (Exodus 19:2). The great medieval commentator, Rashi, points out that the transition from the plural to the singular form of the verb indicates that at Sinai, the Israelites were “as one person, with one heart.” Just as the magnitude of the Sinai experience united the multitudes of people from twelve tribes into one nation, such is the power of Yerushalayim (Jerusalem). Just as in the times of Ezra and the Jewish return from Babylonia, Yerushalayim continues to gather all of Israel together and to serve as a source of unity for all of mankind. Strive for unity

Joel Rosenberg Explains Why He Believes Humanity is Living in the End of Days - CBN News

Joel Rosenberg Explains Why He Believes Humanity is Living in the End of Days

04-28-2018

CBN News Billy Hallowell, Faithwire

Are we living in the biblical end times?

That’s a question that has consistently emerged over the past two millennia, with scores of Christians 

wondering when Jesus’ second coming will unfold. It’s a topic that famed Christian author Joel 

Rosenberg has often discussed, as the prophecy expert routinely shares what he believes the Bible 

says about the end of days.

Rosenberg, the author of the new book, “The Kremlin Conspiracy,” said during a recent appearance on PureFlix.com’s “Pure Talk” that he believes humanity technically entered the last days once Jesus came, 

died, rose and set the gospel message into motion.

While Rosenberg said the Bible tells us not to date-set, he pointed to signs that he believes indicate 

that humanity is moving further toward the fulfillment of biblical prophecy.

“I don’t know when I don’t have a date … but if you look at all the prophecies … one wonders,” 

he said. “You see a lot of global chaos .. more Christians have been slaughtered in the last century 

than at any other time in human history — and that’s saying something because we’ve been often 

slaughtered.”

In the internive (link below) Rosenberg explains why he believes humanity is living at the end of days.

It was the rebirth of Israel in 1948, though, that Rosenberg believes is quite significant, as he called it 

one of the “main prophecies” in the Old Testament, pointing back to Ezekiel 36-39 as one of the places 

where Israel’s re-emergence is prophesied.

Rosenberg also addressed claims that “Gog of the land of Magog” referenced in Ezekiel was a 

forewarning of a leader from Russia. Based on his reading of the text, Rosenberg explained what 

his interpretation of the still-unfulfilled events would be.

“The one-day, future evil leader of Russia is going to form an alliance with Iran, Turkey and some 

other hostile countries to come and surround and attack Israel in the last days,” Rosenberg said, adding 

that these events could still be hundreds of years away.

That said, he believes Russia’s activities in Syria and relations with other dangerous players like Iran

 and North Korea should raise some eyebrows.

“I don’t know what to make of it, but it’s not good,” he said. “Vladimir Putin is more dangerous to the 

United States and our way of life than radical Islam. And I don’t think most Americans process it 

that way.”

Regardless of what happens, Rosenberg said that it’s essential for Christians to pray for peace in 

Jerusalem and the surrounding nations and lands.

He also encouraged Christians to step in and, when possible, help deliver humanitarian relief to those 

impacted by the chaos and carnage currently raging in the Middle East.
