Shalom!
In spite of many challenges, Israel is moving forward. COVID-19 is crashing the economy and is being used to temporarily remove the rights of citizens … supposedly for the common good. That suspension of the rights of free movement and assembly had better end pretty soon, or the nation will continue to play right into the hands of the humanist elite. The truth about this pandemic … about its true origins and nature, its true contagion level and lethality, the actual requirements needed for safety, and the identity of the perpetrators … all these things must be revealed very soon. For so long, the populations of the world have been distracted and dumbed down regarding true conspiracies, and about the operations/plans global elite. So many of the wise and informed, who warned about the evil operations/plans of the global cabal, were mocked, slandered, and ridiculed as stupid, ignorant, fear-mongering conspiracy theorists. The propaganda being spun was that there WERE NO CONSPIRACIES at work in the world. Too many believed that lie to the point that they couldn’t see a true conspiracy as it began to devour life as we have known it. Only the Lord can lead us out of this; but be sure, we will not go back to where we were. Life has changed, and the Body of Messiah had better arise to the calling of this end-time change. Israel has a tough road ahead of her, as we all do. However, if her people would cry out to YHVH for help … if they would realize and repent for going so far down the track of godlessness, and so far down the path of embracing life in the same ways as the rebellious world … her healing could come to her quickly. So, our prayers must contain a strong spiritual element, and not just focus upon the obvious issues easily seen in the natural realm. A spiritual war is raging and Israel is the epicenter, whether she knows it or not.
ISSUES FACING ISRAEL:
1: COVID-19 REPORT: Israel has now had six consecutive days where recoveries outnumbered the new infections. That certainly is a move in a very positive direction. It’s not without losses, however. Israel’s most senior victim to COVID-19, Asyas Argo, passed away today, at age 100. Additionally, a 48-year-old rabbi, Rabbi Haim Aharon Torchin, a father of 14 children also passed away today … a man with no pre-existing conditions. Our love and prayers extend to those who have lost these loved ones.
As of earlier today these were the COVID-19 counts: Deceased persons= 184, out of 13,942 total confirmed cases … 139 patients are currently in serious condition, while 113 are still in need of ventilator support … 142 patients are in moderate condition, with 9,209 demonstrating only mild symptoms … at this point 4,507 Israelis have recovered from the illness. Of those, who are still battling to regain health, there are 505 patients being cared for in hospitals and 6,501, who are able to recover at home with supportive help where needed. According to the PA, the number of Palestinian cases in the “West Bank” and Gaza stands at 400. The Palestinian leadership has declared that they have the virus outbreak under control.
--While the hydroxychloroquine medicine has been proven to be effective against this illness, we still need a silver bullet that will take this illness down completely and eliminate it within a couple of days after taking a medication/treatment … so that there will be no more deaths from this virus. Pray that the Lord will bring that forth. Pray for the teeth and the power to be stripped from this “virus”.
--Praise the Lord that the numbers of infections are decreasing and the number of recoveries are increasing.
--Praise the Lord that Israel has perhaps the best survival rate in the world (when other co-morbid conditions do not exist in the patients).
--Praise the Lord that the illness has not exploded in the Palestinian areas.
--Pray that the infection numbers will begin to drop radically, and that the country can reopen very soon.
--Pray that those, who are hanging on the edge of death will be restored to life … and in the process, they will come to know the Lord intimately.
--Bless and prosper the medical staff as they deal with this crisis. However, pray that they are not given credit that belongs to the Lord. They must not be worshipped and glorified, but certainly deeply love, thanked, honored, and supported for their work.
--Pray that the country will reopen soon. Pray that tourism will be able to return to Israel by July or earlier. Pray for the leaders of the government to have divine wisdom regarding when and how to open the country.
--Pray for those who have no income, and are fearful of how they will be able to make it.
--Pray for the Lord to bring everything that Israel needs, as He prompts the Jewish people to cry out to Him. Restoration is the result of repentance. Pray for the revelation to come.
--Pray for those, who grieving the loss of loved ones. Pray comfort upon those, who are feeling guilty for staying healthy, while they carried the illness to family, friends, or loved ones.
--Pray for the Lord to do a magnificent exposure of the deepest truth about this global pandemic. Pray that He will bring accountability on the earth to those, who set this crisis into place, and into motion. We know they will face accountability after they depart from the earth.
--Pray for the Lord to deal with the compromised media outlets, who created fear; greatly worsening this crisis in order to have a sensational story. Convict the reporters for deliberately hiding the truth, in exchange for a paycheck, which was given for supporting the destructive spin of the media owners.
2: ISRAEL FINALLY HAS AN EMERGENCY UNITY GOVERNMENT IN PLACE:
Finally, today Israel has a new unity government, with Bibi Netanyahu and Benny Gantz being the key players. For the first 18 months, Bibi will be Prime Minister, and Gantz will be the Defense Minister (until Oct. 2021). Then Gantz will take over for the next 18 months as PM (with Bibi possibly becoming the Foreign Minister). When announcing the agreement, Gantz said that he realized he would be targeted with anger from the Left, and from his former coalition party members in the Blue and White. He said that he put the welfare of Israel over his own campaign promises and over his popularity. (NOTE: During his campaign, Gantz pledged to NEVER sit in a government with Bibi … who he repeatedly declared to be a criminal that would go to jail.) Gantz was a wise man to drop some of those foolish campaign promises. Israel has too many threats to deal with, for her to continue limping along any farther with a caretaker government. Gantz was correct to be expecting condemnation from his political entourage! His former political partner in Blue and White, Yair Lapid, wasted no time in condemning him. Lapid made this statement on television after the announcement of the new government: "I want to start with an apology to all those who I convinced to vote for Gantz and Blue & White. I didn’t believe they would steal your vote and give it to Netanyahu, they would use your vote to form the fifth Netanyahu government. It’s the worst act of fraud in our country’s history." Israel is in the midst of the greatest set of challenges on the health front, on the economic front, on the security front, and on the social front. Those, who hold on to their hatred of the Prime Minister, and their “NEVER BIBI” … “OUST and DESTROY BIBI” … “ANYONE BUT BIBI” attitude had better wake up to the realities. Their personal vendetta against this gifted, imperfect, but God-assigned leader had better end. Their ongoing bitterness is poisonous to the health, to the unity, and to the recovery of this nation. We don’t know all of the details of how this government will operate. We do know that it will be a huge operation (the biggest government in Israel’s modern history) with 32 ministers, and more than 12 deputies, involved in the direct operations around the table. 16 of those ministers will be from the Blue and White party. The portfolios to be held by Blue and White will be as follows, at least for the first 18 months: Defense (Gantz), Foreign Affairs (to be held by Gabi Ashkenazi), Justice, Immigration and Absorption, Culture and Sports, Economics and Welfare (which are set aside for Labor's Amir Peretz and Itzik Shmuli), Communications, Agriculture, Strategic Issues, Tourism, Social Equality, and Diaspora Affairs. Likud’s takeaway in this new government is that they will receive the Foreign Affairs portfolio (for the second 18 months), Public Security, Transportation, Housing, Education, Environmental Protection, Energy, Jerusalem affairs, and other less powerful posts. Beyond the distribution of portfolios, the new government has agreed to give Bibi veto power over the appointment of the Attorney General and State Prosecutor, which are the positions of the two senior officials, who went after the prime minister with indictments for bribery, fraud and breach of trust. Those two men had politicized goals for pursuing Bibi as they did. If they were allowed to remain, or if the left had a free hand in appointing their replacements, they could clearly be setting up a bias in the outworking of Bibi’s coming trial. Such an arrangement (whereby the political left could appoint like-minds (known Bibi haters) with the power to convict and jail the Prime Minister, without truly considering the facts/evidence), would fulfill the set up that the Left had wanted. We want Bibi to have a fair trial, not one fraught with hatred, manipulations, and political bias against the defendant. Another feature, of this new government signed today, is that, (given it is identified as an emergency government, with emergency rulings to be in place for only the next 6 months; surrounding the COVID-19 crisis and its impact), it was agreed that there will be no appointments, which require government approval made during these next 6 months. Therefore, the acting state prosecutor Dan Eldad, will remain in the post during that time. Depending upon how left-wing these ministers are in their leanings, this new government could shift the focus, the values, and the culture of Israel toward the left, beyond what it has been for a long time. From what we can see now, it appears that it will be a government that could possibly stand for 4 years. Of course, with the Trump peace deal and such issues as annexing Judea, Samaria, and the Jordan Valley on the docket, there could be some rather loud confrontations involved in the decision-making processes within this group. However, this unity agreement already includes a clause that announces the controversial position that Israel will assume sovereignty over the West Bank on July 1. That will bring some disapproving shouts from the far left, from international community and from the PA. We’ll have to see how it goes from here. Meanwhile, as soon as the government is sworn in, a COVID-19 cabinet will be formed of top people with the knowledge and experience to deal with it. Perhaps that group could unravel all the mysteries and uncover all inconsistencies about this “bug”.
--Praise the Lord that a 4th election will not be necessary.
--Praise YHVH that Gantz seems to have put the country ahead of his own ambitions, ego, bad campaign promises, and approval ratings.
--Pray that Bibi and Benny will make a great team … wonderfully used by the Lord to bring wholeness and safety to Israel as the Lord leads.
--Pray for a release of the Spirits of Wisdom, Truth, and Holy Unity to fall upon this government as this group is sworn in.
--Pray that politics and self-interest will not be allowed to sit with any power in this government.
--Pray for the right people to be in the right positions of power. If the wrong people have been brought in, just so that a deal might be struck, pray for YHVH to remove and replace them.
--Pray that those, who are being entrusted with governmental portfolios will be equipped with everything needed … including knowledge and a heart … to be successful in fulfilling their roles.
--Pray that Israel will extend sovereignty to the portions of Judea and Samaria, on schedule … and that this arrangement will not be undermined by anyone in the government.
-- Pray that Yair Lapid and others, who are decrying the formation of this government will sit down and shut up. Pray that they won’t work against what the Lord will be doing through this coalition. Pray for shame to come down on the heads of the naysayers, as this government succeeds brilliantly.
--Pray for the COVID-19 cabinet … that it will have honest, insightful, hard-working and wise people involved with it. Pray that they will be willing to dig or answers, and will demand answers surround this pathogen, as well as the WHO role, and the Chinese role is making this outbreak so much worse. Pray that they uncover the plot, reveal the players, and demand the restitution.
--Pray that the COVID-19 panel will REFUSE to order mandatory vaccinations … that they will reject any vaccine other than what they make in Israel … and that they will refuse to allow nano chips to be injected with any vaccines.
--Pray that the new Ministry of Health will order/do in-depth research on the physical and mental effects of 5G and on all EMF radiation. Pray that they will hold back on allowing a full 5G network from coming on-line in Israel, until all the research is certified and completed.
3: YOM HA SHOAH REPORT AND COMING OBSERVANCES:
This morning, observing Yom Ha Shoah (Holocaust Day), the annual siren sounded for 2 minutes in honor and in memory of the Holocaust survivors and victims. Each year the somber sound of the siren, finds all Israelis freezing in place to remember, to pray, and to weep. For those, who personally endured the Holocaust, or who lost loved ones in the horrific event, the pain has always been lessened as people shared it; gathering around them to help hold the pain during the siren. Sadly, because of the virus lockdown, these precious souls (190,000 survivors live in Israel) would experience this pain of remembrance all alone without the special efforts by people who care. As always, the Israelis rise to the occasion. When the sirens sounded, those, who were homebound gathered out on their balconies to express their remembrance in love and honor for those, who have endured. Police and security personnel throughout Israel went to nursing homes, and to other residences where these precious ones live. They saluted, presented flowers and house plants; acknowledging them as courageous heroes of the Jewish family. In Jerusalem, IDF soldiers went individual, personally, to the homes of the 6,000 survivors there, to express their love, sympathy, and appreciation with gift and flowers from the municipality. Even when holding these precious survivors in a physical embrace was not allowed, the hearts of the sorrowful were held by love nevertheless. These Holocaust survivors were not allowed to feel the pain alone after all. Israel and the Jewish people are a very special family. (NOTE: See the website list at the bottom of this writing to see a beautiful sand art presentation for Yom Ha Shoah by Ilanan Yahav. It’s incredible! )
--Pray for the Lord to bring comfort to the deepest places in the hearts of these Holocaust survivors. Pray that the comfort will be a revelation of Yeshua, and of their loved ones living with Him.
--Pray that He will meet these special ones and touch them in their place of deepest pain; erasing the nightmares and the heartbreaking memories.
--Praise the Lord for the hearts of the Jewish people … hearts that care deeply for those around them … especially for those, who have suffered.
--Pray for a special blessing to be upon Israel’s 190,000 survivors of Hitler’s horrors. May their final years be filled with love, joy, peace, and provision.
--Pray that the world will never forget the realities of the Holocaust, so that they are not repeated. The way the global anti-Semitism is rising, it COULD happen again. God forbid!
Memorial Day, the day to remember fallen soldiers and victims of terror attacks, begins next Monday night. Then 24 hours later, Israel’s Independence Day will begin. The observance of Memorial Day, has always included gatherings and services at the military cemeteries and at the Western Wall. Independence Day has always involved big celebrative productions, and huge family gatherings for picnics and barbeques, followed by fireworks and downtown parties. The COVID crisis has required that the normal traditions and festivities be suspended this year … or at least, greatly altered. No gatherings will be allowed at the cemeteries on Memorial Day. However, it will be permissible for individuals and properly spaced and masked family groupings to visit the graves of their loved ones in the days prior to the observance. With parks and nature preserves being closed to the public due to the crisis, families of a single household will have to be content to have a grill-out on their patio or balcony. Where it is traditional for each city or neighborhood to have a big community, fireworks display to celebrate Israel’s independence, it has been decided that there can be some fireworks where people can observe them from their rooftops or balconies. Unfortunately, it will be very difficult to keep people from leaving their homes to get a better look. As creative and fun as the Israelis are, I suspect they will find some unique way to celebrate and have fun, even in the midst of movement and public gathering restrictions. The hearts will be filled with sorrow and with gratitude on Memorial Day, and with joy, pride, and thanksgiving on Independence Day. That will not change.
--Again, pray for deep comfort to fall upon all those, who have lost loved ones in war, in service, or in terror attacks. Pray for good memories to overcome the sad ones.
--Pray for the people, who need the comfort of a cemetery visit, will be able to do that before Memorial Day.
--Pray for the people to be wise in how they celebrate Independence Day (i.e. no firecrackers in the house or on the balcony, etc.)
--Pray for the Lord to bring the high level of joy that we always feel on that day, even when they can’t celebrate as usual.
--Pray for beautiful, very visible fireworks to light up the sky; celebrating the miracle of modern day Israel.
--Pray that anger, from not being free to observe and to celebrate as usual, will not put a dark cloud over these two days.
The Islamic month of Ramadan begins this Friday evening. I’ve already written previously about the dangers that could come with that 30-day observance this year. Will COVID-19 rise up if the Arabs refuse to follow wise rules about gathering each night to feast? Will they rise up in violent protest, if the Israeli security forces restrict their movements; refusing them to enter Israeli areas?
--Pray that the Lord will keep His hand on the Moslems and upon Ramadan.
--Pray for no violence against the Jews during this time.
--Pray that the COVID-19 will not blow up in the number of cases. Pray that the people will follow the instructions regarding gathering and masking.
--Pray that the curses that are decreed, and the terror plans that have formed, during past Ramadan nights, will not take place this year.
4: ISRAEL MAKES MORE AIRSTRIKES INTO SYRIA:
While Israel is not acknowledging its role in any attack last might, the Syrians are reporting that Israel made an air strike overnight through an IAF engagement in central Syria, near the town of Palmyra. There have been several strikes made in the past three weeks … all leveled against Hizbullah, and Iranian forces in Syria. Reportedly, as a result of last night’s attack, 3 Syrian forces, and 6 foreigners were killed. It can be well assumed that these foreign fighters are likely Iranian forces, or Hizbullah (Lebanese). Syrian television announced that several Israeli missiles were taken down by their air defenses, but that cannot be confirmed. The airstrike took place a short time after Iran’s Foreign Minister, Mohammed Javad Zarif, was in Damascus for meetings with Assad, and with Syria’s Foreign Minister. Did that airstrike last night contain a message for this gathering of Islamic leaders? Given that the new Israeli unity government was confirmed as being formed today, I suspect that the increasing threats at Israel’s northern borders, served to be a motivator for Benny Gantz to join Bibi in getting the government settled and organized quickly. There may not be much time left, before Iran, Syria and Hizbullah initiate a joint war against Israel.
--Pray that the Islamic enemies of Israel will not initiate a Ramadan war
--Pray for the Israeli military to continue to make the necessary air-strikes safely and effectively where needed.
--Pray for the angels of the Lord to put up a firewall around all of Israel’s borders, but especially at the northern border.
--Pray that the Lord would keep His hand on Syria, Iran, Russia, Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt, Iraq, and all other nations that might be considering actions against Israel.
--Pray for Israeli intelligence to be ahead of the curve when it comes to intercepting the secret and plans of Israel’s enemies.
--Pray for the Lord to keep His hand upon Gaza and the PA territories. NO TERROR ATTACKS! NO ROCKET ATTACKS! NO FIRE KITES! NO KIDNAPPINGS! NO STABBINGS! NO BLOODSHED OF THE JEWS!
Hopefully, all of you are well and are sensing the nearness of the Messiah. In closing I want to leave you with Philippians 4:6-7.
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to YHVH; and the peace of YHVH which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Yeshua the Messiah.
In His love, we press on, we pray, and we believe!
