Joel C. Rosenberg's Blog - Four Jewish heroes escaped Auschwitz to tell the world what the Nazis were doing.

New post on Joel C. Rosenberg's Blog

Four Jewish heroes escaped Auschwitz to tell the world what the Nazis were doing. Do you know their names & their extraordinary stories? You should. Here’s why. #HolocaustRemembranceDay by joelcrosenberg (Jerusalem, Israel) -- On January 27, 1945, the Nazi death camp in southern Poland known as "Auschwitz-Birkenau" was finally liberated. It happened just months before Adolf Hitler committed suicide and the U.S., British, Soviets, and all of our allies heroically liberated Germany and all of Europe. We must never forget the one million souls who were exterminated at Auschwitz, members of the six million Jews murdered as part of the Nazi's so-called "Final Solution." But I believe there are four specific names we should also remember. They are the names of four Jewish men -- truly extraordinary men. They did not die at Auschwitz, and that's why their names should be remembered and their stories should be told. Almost a year before it was liberated, these four men actually escaped from Auschwitz -- not simply to save their own lives but to tell the world the truth about what was really happening behind those high walls and barbed wire. Truly the greatest escape in all of human history.  Several years go, I wrote a book called The Auschwitz Escape to help people rediscover what these men did and why. I also wrote this column for the same purpose. On this #HolocaustRemembranceDay, I hope you and your family will take some time to read their stories, learn their names and honor their heroism. REMEMBERING FOUR HEROES OF THE HOLOCAUST By Joel C. Rosenberg To misunderstand the nature and threat of evil is to risk being blindsided by it. In 1933, the world was blindsided by the rise of Adolf Hitler.  In 1939, it was stunned by the German invasion of Poland and the Nazi leader’s bloodthirsty quest for global domination. Perhaps most tragically, most of the world did not understand Hitler’s plan to annihilate the Jews until it was almost too late. Today, we face dangerous new threats from Iran, North Korea, and a rising czar in Russia, not from Germany. Yet curiously, in recent weeks [various world leaders] have each warned that as we confront current challenges we must be careful to learn the lessons of history regarding how the world failed to understand the threat posed by Hitler and the Nazis and deal with it decisively, before events spun out of control. I agree, and as an example, I would point the extraordinary events that occurred in the spring of 1944.  Four men pulled off the greatest escapes in all of human history, from a Nazi death camp in southern Poland. They did not simply escape to save their own lives. Nor did they escape merely to tell the world about a terrible crime against humanity that had been – and was being – committed. What set these true heroes apart is that they planned and executed their escapes in the hope of stopping a horrific crime before it was committed – the extermination of the Jews of Hungary. To commemorate the 70th anniversary of these escapes, and to draw attention to the significance these unknown – or unremembered – events, and the lessons they have to teach us, I recently wrote a work of historical fiction, The Auschwitz Escape. I changed the names of key figures involved so as not to put words in their mouths that cannot be verified to be their own. But it is my deepest hope that the book will cause many to dig into the real history of these remarkable heroes. Their real names were Rudolf Vrba and Alfred Wetzler -- they were Slovak Jews. They escaped from Auschwitz on April 7, 1944. Arnost Rosin was also a Slovak Jew. Czeslaw Mordowicz was a Polish Jew. These are more real names. Together these men escaped from Auschwitz on May 27, 1944. Upon making it safely to Czechoslovakia, Vrba, only 19 years old, and Wetzler, 25, linked up with the Jewish underground. They explained Auschwitz was not simply a labor camp, as most thought, but rather a death camp. The Nazis were systematically murdering prisoners, mostly Jews, using poison gas called “Zyklon B,” then burning their bodies in enormous ovens. The men explained the Nazis were dramatically enlarging an expansion camp a few miles from Auschwitz called “Birkenau,” building new train tracks, enormous new gas chambers, and massive new crematoria. They had also completed ramps leading all those arriving in the cattle cars directly into the gas chambers. Vrba and Wetzler said they had heard SS guards talking about Hungarian “salami” that would soon be arriving. They knew from their jobs as clerks in the camp that none of Hungary’s nearly 450,000 Jews had yet arrived, even though Jews from most of Europe had come already.  They urged the Czech Jewish leaders to warn Hungarian Jews immediately so they would revolt and not get on the trains. They also urged that the Allied leaders be notified so they would mount an operation to liberate Auschwitz. Both men were asked to separately draft detailed eyewitness reports. Their reports were then cross-checked, compiled into a single report, and then simultaneously translated into multiple languages. Eventually, Mordowicz, 23, and Rosin, 30, escaped as well. When they got to Czechoslovakia, they wrote up reports of their own, which were added to the existing document. But all this took precious time the Hungarian Jews did not have. The report, known as “The Auschwitz Protocol,” was sent to Jewish and Allied leaders in early June 1944. Excerpts were leaked to the press, creating an international uproar. But the Germans had begun deporting Hungarian Jews to Auschwitz in massive numbers on May 15th. And “The Auschwitz Protocol” landed in the hands of President Franklin Roosevelt and Prime Minister Winston Churchill and their top aides just as the Allies were executing the D-Day invasion of Normandy and trying to liberate France. On July 2nd, the U.S. began bombing Budapest. Admiral Miklos Horthy, the Nazi-backed Regent of Hungary, feared the air raid was in reprisal for the Jewish deportations. He ordered the trains halted. Thus, while, more than 300,000 Hungarian Jews had already been sent to Auschwitz and gassed, 120,000 more Hungarian Jews were saved from deportation and certain death. Sir Martin Gilbert, the British historian, would later note, “The Auschwitz Protocol” was responsible for “the largest single greatest rescue of Jews in the Second World War.” That said, neither the U.S. nor the British military took direct action to liberate Auschwitz during the war. Nor did they bomb the train lines to the death camps, or bomb the camps themselves, as Jewish leaders had implored.  When the Soviets finally entered Auschwitz on January 27, 1945, only 7,000 prisoners remained alive. More than 1.1 million had already been exterminated. Why didn’t Washington and London take decisive action upon receiving detailed, inside intelligence? Couldn’t they have at least tried to stop the Holocaust, or at least disrupt it, knowing the hellish nightmare people in the camps were experiencing? Historians have been debating this for years. Yet the issues are not academic. Today, our leaders also face urgent questions.  Let’s consider just one. Iran has threatened to “wipe Israel off the map.” It has threatened to create world without the “Great Satan” (aka, the U.S.), as well. The mullahs are actively developing the ability to build nuclear warheads and the missiles to deliver them.  Do we currently have inside sources giving us accurate intelligence on the state of Iran’s nuclear program? If diplomacy and sanctions fail, should the West take military action against Iran’s nuclear facilities before the mullahs can set into motion a Second Holocaust?  Rather than attack ourselves, should the U.S. support an Israeli preemptive strike? What are the risks of launching such a strike? What are the risks of delay?  Would history forgive us if we wait too long and Iran strikes first? The moral courage that Rudolf Vrba, Alfred Wetzler, Arnost Rosin, and Czeslaw Mordowicz demonstrated seventy years ago was extraordinary. They understood the nature and threat of evil, and they risked their lives to tell the world the truth.  They deserve to be remembered and heralded by Jews and Christians and all who care about freedom and human dignity.  We must never forget what they did, and why they did it. But we must also be ready to act wisely, bravely and decisively if a mortal threat rises again. For if we learn nothing else from the history of the Holocaust, we had better learn this: Evil, unchecked, is the prelude to genocide.

Prophetic Word: Decree God's Will to Establish It in Spirit Realm - KATHY DEGRAW CHARISMA NEWS

Prophetic Word: Decree God's Will to Establish It in Spirit Realm 

1/26/2019- KATHY DEGRAW  CHARISMA NEWS

I kept hearing in the Spirit, "I call forth the law of establishment." It would not leave me but cycled for many minutes. The Spirit of the Lord had me declaring it out in our prayer meeting, and I knew there must be more revelation to come forth. Establish is defined in Webster's as "to set up on a firm or permanent basis."

I had just finished prophetically teaching my group that when a revelation comes into your soul and spirit that you need to pray it out but also that you need to pray into it. I was teaching them that often the Lord gives us revelation through declaration. As we are caught up in the moment and in the spirit praying and speaking out and declaring out, the very thing in which we are receiving to speak out could be a word of knowledge from our heavenly Father. When something cycles in your spirit man, press into it to see if there is more revelation our Father desires to distribute to us.

As I pressed in, the Lord shared this prophetic word:

There is a law of establishment. What do you want to establish in this hour? The Lord says to release it; release with your words what you want to establish with your words.

The Lord says, "My people have been silent, thinking they can establish in their minds, but out of the abundance of your heart your mouth speaks" (see Luke 6:45). He says, to speak—speak out! Decree a thing and it will be established! "You will also declare a matter, and it will be established unto you; and the light will shine upon your ways" (Job 22:28).

What are you establishing with your words, and even more, what are you establishing with My words? I have given you a book, the Bible, full of words to establish with, yet you are not using them. My Word is full of healing, deliverance, trust, hope and prosperity. I have given you My written Word to establish whatever you need. My written Word produces prophetic action, a shift and change in the spirit realm, which leads to action. It unlocks things. It unlocks tools, revelation and equipment you need to move spiritually forward.

The time is now to unlock your destiny! Destiny destroyers and evil powers have disrupted My prophetic plan for you. I am your life source! Speak life! Speak hope! Decree! Declare! Now is the time! Now is the season! There is a window, a window of time for the law of establishment. I have set you apart. You are a chosen people, a chosen generation. Now go and establish what I have called you to do: raise the dead, heal the sick and cast out demons.

I have plans and purposes beyond your control, but I need you to step out and not be afraid—no intimidation. Come forth with boldness and truth. Establish what I have called you to before even time began, and you will begin to see the world change in unprecedented ways.

Prayer: Father God, we seal this prophetic word in and call it forth according to Your will and Your Word. Have your way, Father; release your assignment; release angels on assignment. Help us to be bold, to speak out and to establish in the spirit realm. Convict us, Holy Spirit, to break off passivity and complacency, to rise up and pray and declare that You will manifests in our lives. I bind and restrict any enemy attacks on this word and bind and restrict the devil from waging warfare against this word or attempting to steal, kill and destroy this word in Jesus' name. Amen!

Never Has Such A Thing Happened Or Been Seen - Israel365

And everyone who saw it cried out, “Never has such a thing happened or been seen from the day the Israelites came out of the land of Egypt to this day! Put your mind to this; take counsel and decide.” Judges 19:30 (The Israel Bible™) וְהָיָה כָל־הָרֹאֶה וְאָמַר לֹא־נִהְיְתָה וְלֹא־נִרְאֲתָה כָּזֹאת לְמִיּוֹם עֲלוֹת בְּנֵי־יִשְׂרָאֵל מֵאֶרֶץ מִצְרַיִם עַד הַיּוֹם הַזֶּה שִׂימוּ־לָכֶם עָלֶיהָ עֻצוּ וְדַבֵּרוּ Hear the verse in Hebrew v’-ha-YAH khol ha-ro-EH v’-a-MAR lo nih-y’-TAH v’-lo nir-a-TAH ka-ZOT l’-mi-YOM a-LOT b’-nay yis-ra-AYL may-E-retz mitz-RA-yim AD ha-YOM ha-ZEH see-mu la-KHEM a-LE-ha U-tzu v’-da-BAY-ru   Never has Such a Thing Happened or Been Seen Jewish tradition understands that the passages of the Tanakh are not always presented in chronological order. According to Rashi, this story (along with the narrative of Micha’s idol) occurred at the beginning of the era of the Judges. Rabbi Shlomo Aviner suggests that these narratives were placed here, at the end of the book, as another reminder of the sad results of having no king: disunity, disorder and violence. Seeing these repeated tragedies at the end of the book of Shoftim highlights the importance of the rise of the monarchy, described in the next book, Shmuel. Though the contemporary State of Israel has no king, Rabbi Abraham Isaac Kook says that a democratically elected Jewish government has a status similar to that of a monarchy. The Jewish people are fortunate that the State of Israel has a set and ordered government to protect society and to care for the nation.
