Friends, for those of you following the free 9-part docu-drama entitled Christ Revealed, you may have already heard the testimony of Arie Bar David. If you haven’t, you must!
Arie and his family are some of the very first Messianic Jews in Israel, and are also witnesses to some of the most amazing miracles of God during Israel’s Six Day War.
I’m not sure how long the free video will be available, so I hope you’ll take some time to watch it right away. You will be blown away by the light of the Lord that shines through Arie.
American college students are being absolutely bombarded by Antisemitism and hatred of many kinds or our college campuses. Students are being brainwashed by liberal agendas of all sorts, but one that is significantly concerning to me is the work of “Students for the Justice of Palestine.”
Their agenda includes spreading hate and lies regarding Israel, and very actively promoting the BDS movement (among other evils). If you have college-age students or know some, I encourage you to become familiar with what they face, and do whatever possible to guide them in a different direction. Pray diligently for them, speak truth to them and encourage them in the Lord.
Last week, rockets rained down on Israeli towns and villages near the Gaza Strip, as Hamas fired off over 400 rockets in a single day. (The most ever in the long-standing rocket war from Gaza.)
Thankfully, despite the heavy barrage, not a single Jewish Israeli life was lost (though one Arab Israeli was sadly killed by a rocket). Year-after-year rockets are fired, but year-after-year there are incredibly few casualties.
To fully understand the miracle, you must consider the proximity of Jewish towns and cities to the Gaza Strip. Several are easily within 5 miles of the border with Gaza, giving residents virtually no time to seek shelter once a rocket is launched. Furthermore, for the most part, we are not talking about remote homes that may be difficult to target and hit. We are talking about well-established villages with fairly densely populated neighborhoods.
If you have ever thrown a ball or fired a weapon, you know that large targets at short distances greatly increase your likelihood of success. Yet thousands of rockets over the years, at nearby, relatively large targets have yielded extremely few casualties.
How is that so?
It can be explained only one way: the protective hand of the Lord. In fact, in 2014, even the terrorists recognized God’s intervention on behalf of His chosen people.
This past week produced other very specific examples of God’s hand of protection. One instance is of a Jewish family who decided that fateful night to pull a mattress into the safe room and sleep there “just in case.” Check this out:
