“Standing United Together . . . Under the Cross of Christ
Focus on Israel
1. Netanyahu: 'We Simply Have to Act' on a Lockdown - Jewish Press
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told Israelis in a brief address to the nation Sunday night that once again there will have to be a total lockdown, because the number of red zones has skyrocketed from 30 to 70. "We simply have to act," he said bluntly.
Netanyahu said in answering a reporter that the problem is not equipment, the problem is human resources. "It's the capacity of the medical teams to keep working. Some of them are just falling off their feet," he said.
But the bottom line is this: The lockdown begins this coming Friday at 2 pm - not 6 am as previously reported - and at this point will last at least until the end of the Simchat Torah holiday.
2. Haredi minister quits government over lockdown imposed during holidays - World Israel News
Weary Israelis were treated to more corona drama on Sunday as Yaakov Litzman of the ultra-religious United Torah Judaism party, and a minister in the current government, quit as the government is set to approve a lockdown proposal for the High Holidays, which begin this Friday evening.
Litzman warned several hours before the government meeting of his intention to resign if the decision made on Thursday to impose a nationwide lockdown of two weeks is passed. It must have been clear to him even before the decision was announced which way the winds blew.
Litzman is reportedly concerned for his constituency. Religious Jews during the holidays traditionally hold mass prayers on the Jewish New Year and Sukkot (Feast of Tabernacles).
In his resignation letter to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Litzman wrote that he was concerned for non-Orthodox worshippers: "This is a serious decision, Mr. Prime Minister, that will significantly dilute and reduce the number of people coming to synagogues on Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur, especially tens of thousands of Jews, from a variety of different populations, some for whom this is the only time during the year that they are accustomed to coming to pray at synagogue."
3. Minister: New lockdown threatens first official UAE visit to Israel- YNET
The first official visit to Israel by a United Arab Emirates delegation, provisionally planned for Sept. 22, may be postponed or conducted under restrictions given a looming coronavirus lockdown, Science Minister Izhar Shay said Friday.
The delegates were expected to arrive in reciprocation of last week's groundbreaking Abu Dhabi visit by top Israeli and U.S. envoys, a source familiar with the planning said.
Israeli officials have confirmed such a plan while the UAE has not.
Struggling against a surge of coronavirus infections, Prime Minister Benjamin Netayahu's pandemic taskforce on Thursday approved a rolling national lockdown. The lockdown is expected to go into effect next week, following a cabinet vote on Sunday, and span major Jewish holidays that run from Sept 18 to Oct 10.
4. Palestinians launch 'popular resistance' to foil normalization accords - Jerusalem Post
In the context of Palestinian efforts to thwart normalization between Israel and Arab states, the Palestinians announced on Sunday the formation of a group called the Unified National Leadership of Popular Resistance.
The group, consisting of representatives of various Palestinian factions, is reminiscent of the Unified National Leadership of the Uprising that operated during the First Intifada, which erupted in 1987.
The formation of the group is seen by some Palestinians as a call for launching a new intifada against Israel.
"This is the beginning of the Third Intifada," a Fatah official told The Jerusalem Post. "This is the only way the world will listen to us. We want to place the Palestinian issue back at the top of the world's agenda."
5. Egyptian President hails Israel-Bahrain normalization agreement - Israel National News
Egyptian President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi on Friday hailed the newly announced normalization deal between Israel and Bahrain.
"I hail this important step aimed at consolidating stability and peace in the Middle East, which will achieve a just and permanent solution to the Palestinian cause," Sisi said in a tweet quoted by AFP.
The Egyptian President also thanked "all those who helped achieve this historic step".
Egypt was the first Arab country to sign a peace deal with Israel in 1979, followed by Jordan in 1994.
The White House announced earlier on Friday that US President Donald Trump, King Hamad bin Isa bin Salman al-Khalifa of Bahrain, and Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu agreed to the establishment of full diplomatic relations between Israel and the Kingdom of Bahrain.
6. Israel to enter 3-week lockdown from Friday; schools, malls, hotels to be closed - Times of Israel
Cabinet ministers on Sunday approved a three-week lockdown, over the upcoming Jewish holidays to contain a resurgent coronavirus outbreak.
The lockdown will take force at 2 p.m. on Friday, hours before the start of Rosh Hashanah.
Speaking at a press conference, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that under the restrictions, Israelis will be limited from traveling more than 500 meters from their home except for essential needs like food and medicine. Schools will be closed starting Friday, and businesses and public sector employers will face strict limitations that he did not specify.
Supermarkets, pharmacies and other essential businesses will be allowed to remain open and deliveries will be allowed.
Netanyahu acknowledged the economic pain caused by the lockdown measures, but insisted the economy was doing better than other countries, which he credited to Israel being among the first to reopen its economies in May after the first lockdown.
The premier repeated his analogy that managing the virus was like playing an "accordion," with the government easing measures when cases go down and tightening them when infections rise, as other countries are doing - though aside from Israel, none has imposed a second full lockdown.
"The medical experts told me to close [the accordion] when the health system raises a red flag," he said. "They're warning us about the jump in the number of seriously [sick] patients and from the winter."
7. Jerusalem's Great Synagogue to close for High Holy Days for first time - Jerusalem Post
The Jerusalem Great Synagogue will be closed to worshipers throughout the High Holy Days due to the coronavirus it said Sunday in a statement.
While there are many reasons to remain open for the High Holy Days "in one format or another, nevertheless, the deciding consideration was the personal safety of every one of you," the statement said.
"A deciding factor in this consideration is the lack of information [and the] confusion and debate between experts and the changes in regulations," it said. "The Great Synagogue is not like other places of worship. It is spread out, requires health checks at the door, commits to forbid the entry of worshipers who did not sign up ahead of time and, of course, commits to limit the number of worshipers.
"And even if we stand by these [rules], there is still a risk. One person makes a mistake; one person is positive [for the virus] and did not know; one person who can infect another. The Great Synagogue asks to prevent this risk [from affecting] every one of you."
The Great Synagogue will be closed for the first time since it opened in 1958.
The Daily Brief
1. Bahrain establishing full diplomatic relations with Israel, Trump announces - Times of Israel
Bahrain is establishing full diplomatic relations with Israel, US President Donald Trump announced Friday, making it the second Gulf country to do so in less than a month.
A joint statement released by the White House said Bahrain's King Hamad bin Salman al-Khalifa spoke earlier in the day with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu "and agreed to the establishment of full diplomatic relations between Israel and the Kingdom of Bahrain."
"Another HISTORIC breakthrough today! Our two GREAT friends Israel and the Kingdom of Bahrain agree to a Peace Deal - the second Arab country to make peace with Israel in 30 days!" Trump tweeted.
Israel and the UAE announced they were normalizing relations on August 13, and a signing ceremony for their accord is being held at the White House on September 15. Bahrain will now join that ceremony, with its foreign minister Abdullatif Al Zayani and Netanyahu signing "a historic Declaration of Peace," the joint statement said. (Read more)
- Father God, only the prophets can judge the times, but we do see the writing on the wall. Help us, O Lord, to go through what surely lies ahead, we pray, amen.
- While they are saying, "Peace and safety!" then destruction will come upon them suddenly like labor pains upon a woman with child, and they will not escape. (I Thessalonians 5:3)
2. Anti-Netanyahu protesters to gather in DC amid UAE-Israel deal signing - Jerusalem Post
A number of Israelis living in various cities throughout the US are planning to gather in Washington on Tuesday, as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu arrives to sign the normalization deal with the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain, N12 reported.
"We are coming together from all over the United States and the world to reiterate that a prime minister charged with a crime cannot continue in office," a release from the protesters read.
Protesters intend to gather, holding signs that show that while they support normalization with the UAE, they still are reluctant to support the actual signing of the agreement, N12 reported.
The protesters want to portray the message to the rest of the world that the occasion is not a legitimate one because the prime minister who signed the agreement is ruling while accused of crimes and is risking the status of Israel as a democratic country.
"While we support the peace agreement with the U.A.E., it is not possible that the prime minister makes political decisions with other countries on his own without consulting any other government official, and without the approval of the government or the Knesset," the release stated. (Read more)
- Father God, with all the other turmoil that is expected to take place on our streets this week, we don't need this, too. We ask that You dispatch Your warrior angels to quell this violence, place boundaries around these protestors, and keep President Trump, P.M. Benjamin Netanyahu and all other visiting dignitaries safe in this dangerous time. Amen.
- "This far and no further, and here shall your proud waves be stopped!" (Job 39:11)
3. Russia, China and Iran trying to hack 2020 election, Microsoft says - NY Post
A Russian military hacking group that was caught meddling in the 2016 presidential race has shifted tactics ahead of the November election, Microsoft said Thursday.
Hackers in China and Iran have also stepped up efforts to obtain password information for people involved in the campaigns of President Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden, the computer giant said.
The Russian group - which Microsoft calls Strontium, but which is also known by names including "Fancy Bear" and APT28 - "launched credential harvesting attacks against tens of thousands of accounts at more than 200 organizations" between September 2019 and June 2020," according to a blog post by the Microsoft Threat Intelligence Center.
More recently, the hackers "targeted 6,912 accounts belonging to 28 organizations" just between August 19 and Sept. 3, the MSTIC said.
Those organizations, located in both the US and the UK, are "directly involved in political elections" and the hackers appear to be laying the groundwork for "future surveillance or intrusion operations," the MSTIC said.
"None of these accounts were successfully compromised," it added. (Read more)
- Lord God Jehovah, we come against every scheme, both foreign and domestic, that would attempt to sabotage our election in November. We ask that You grant our own cyber specialists the insight to see, and to block, any and all interference in this election, both from foreign and domestic sources, we pray. We know not what to do, so our eyes are on You, dear Lord, amen and amen.
- "O our God, will You not judge them? For we are powerless against this great multitude which is coming against us. We do not know what to do, but our eyes are on You." (2 Chronicles 20:12)
4. Texas federal judge rules mail-in voting procedure unconstitutional, orders officials to fix signature verification - Fox News
A federal judge in Texas ruled Tuesday that the state's system of verifying signatures on mail-in ballots was unconstitutional and should be immediately corrected in advance of Election Day in November.
Judge Orlando Garcia, of the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas, ruled that the existing procedure involving verifying whether a signature on a mail-in ballot matches the one required across the flap of the carrier-envelope "plainly violates certain voters' constitutional rights."
"In light of the fundamental importance of the right to vote, Texas' existing process for rejecting mail-in ballots due to alleged signature mismatching fails to guarantee basic fairness," Garcia wrote, adding that the procedure is "inherently fraught with error with no recourse for voters."
Texas offers the opportunity to vote by mail to voters who are outside of their county of residence during an election, voters with disabilities, voters 65 years-of-age or older, and certain voters confined in jail but otherwise eligible to vote, according to the ruling. (Read more)
- Father God, we loose out tongues before Your Throne of Grace as we pray in the Spirit over this decision. We desire only a TRUE VOTE to be taken on November 3rd this year, and that all fraudulent ballots be rejected. In Your Name, amen.
- In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. (Romans 8:25)
5. Trump threatens to send in military troops if riots occur following an election victory - Washington Examiner
Any rioters who spread violence should President Trump win a second term in November could be met with military force, Trump warned.
In an interview with Fox News host Jeanine Pirro, Trump said any threat of rioting will be stopped immediately, citing the Insurrection Act.
"We'll put them down very quickly if they do that," Trump said, according to Politico, which obtained a preview of the interview. "We have the right to do that. We have the power to do that if we want."
He continued, "Look, it's called insurrection. We just send in, and we do it very easy. I mean, it's very easy. I'd rather not do that because there's no reason for it, but if we had to, we'd do that and put it down within minutes." The Insurrection Act allows the president to deploy the military and National Guard within the country in extreme circumstances to quell civil disorder. (Read more)
-Father, we pray for peace and calm from civil unrest around our country. We pray for President Trump to have wisdom in sending the National Guard to different areas. We pray the Mayors and Governors will be strong to do their jobs so that the National Guard is not needed.
-The Lord gives strength to His people; the Lord blesses His people with peace. (Psalm 29:11)
6. Fauci disagrees with Trump that US rounding 'final turn' on pandemic - The Hill
Anthony Fauci on Friday said he disagrees with President Trump that the country has rounded "the final turn" on the COVID-19 pandemic, and warned Americans not to get complacent heading into the fall.
Fauci, the federal government's leading infectious disease expert, was responding to comments made by Trump during a press conference on Thursday, where he defended his comments made to Bob Woodward about deliberately downplaying the severity of the pandemic.
Trump said the U.S. was "rounding the final turn. And we're going to have vaccines very soon, maybe much sooner than you think."
Fauci, the head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said he disagrees with Trump's assessment, noting that if Americans aren't careful, the pandemic could worsen.
"I have to disagree with that, because if you look at . . . the statistics, they are disturbing. We're plateauing at around 40,000 cases a day. And the deaths are around a thousand," Fauci told MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell. (Read more)
- Father God, once again we are all being "taken for a ride" by Anthony Fauci and the World Health Organization, who seem bent upon keeping all of us in a state of fear over this virus.
We say NO MORE LIES, in the name of Jesus! Instead. we lift up President Trump before Your Throne of Grace, as he attempts to govern our nation in TRUTH. Help him to know Your will as he makes policy decisions, every step of the way, about all matters related to the ongoing COVID crisis. We offer this prayer, in Your Name, amen.
- "Let the wicked fall into their own nets, while I pass by in safety." (Psalm 141:10)
7. Trump awards Medal of Honor to military hero who freed more than 75 hostages in Iraq - Fox News
President Trump presented the Medal of Honor Friday to U.S. Army Sgt. Major Thomas "Patrick" Payne for his heroics in a 2015 daring raid that rescued 75 ISIS hostages from a prison in northern Iraq, with Trump praising him as "one of the bravest men anywhere in the world."
Trump hailed Payne's gallant and selfless efforts that led to 20 ISIS terrorists killed and saving the lives of the 75 captives. "Today he joins the immortal company of our most revered American heroes," Trump said in the White House ceremony. "Pat, you personify the motto: 'Rangers lead the way.'"
Payne, 36, is the first living member of the Delta Force to receive the Medal of Honor, the highest decoration a member of the military can be given.
Payne spoke about the life-or-death urgency of the October 2015 mission in an interview posted by the Army. "My team was responsible for one of the buildings that the hostages were being held in," Payne said. "What was significant is that there were freshly dug graves, if we didn't action this target then the hostages will probably be executed."(Read more)
-Father, thank You for Sgt. Major Thomas Payne for this heroic act to rescue 75 hostages and protect their lives. We thank You for all heroes among us that may not be recognized for their efforts. Encourage each one to keep doing what's right to bless others. We are blessed to be a blessing wherever we go.
-17 And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. (Colossians 3:17)
8. Trump says U.S. to cut Iraq troops to about 2,000 in 'very short' time - Reuters
U.S. President Donald Trump said on Thursday that U.S. troop numbers in Iraq would be down to about 2,000 in a very short period of time.
At a White House news conference, Trump went further than a U.S. official speaking last month, who said the United States would go down to about 3,500 troops in Iraq in the next two to three months.
"Iraq will be down to about 2,000 soldiers in a very short period of time," Trump said.(Read more)
-Father, we thank You for this reduction in troops in Iraq. We pray strength and ability to those forces who remain to stand strong against any threats to the United States.
-"With your help I can advance against a troop; with my God I can scale a wall. It is God who arms me with strength and makes my way perfect. The LORD lives! Praise be to my Rock! Exalted be God, the Rock, my Savior!" (2 Samuel 22: 30,33,47)
9. Storm Threats Loom Across Atlantic From Gulf of Mexico to Africa - Bloomberg
While a tropical storm approaches Bermuda, the threat of more powerful systems is expanding across the Atlantic, from the Gulf of Mexico to Africa.
Tropical Storm Paulette probably will become a hurricane on Sept. 13 as it nears Bermuda, possibly making landfall early next week. Two more storms may develop in the Gulf of Mexico within 48 hours with another pair off Africa. In addition, Tropical Storm Rene is in the deep Atlantic and isn't posing a threat.
"The map is starting to light up like a Christmas tree," said Rob Miller, a meteorologist at AccuWeather Inc. "By the time we get to Monday or Tuesday, there could be three to five, maybe six, systems that could have designations from the National Hurricane Center."
Across the Atlantic, 17 storms have formed this season, marking the fastest pace in records starting in 1851, and seven hit the U.S. Hurricane Isaias knocked out power to millions in the Northeast, and Laura tore up southern Louisiana. The National Hurricane Center has only four names left -- Sally, Teddy, Vicky and Wilfred -- before Greek letters are used to designate systems. (Read more)
-Father, we use our authority and speak to these storms to stop and disappear. We speak calm to the storm, In Jesus name.
-27 The men were amazed and asked, "What kind of man is this? Even the winds and the waves obey him!" (Matthew 8:27)
10. Latest: 500,000 people in Oregon forced to flee wildfires - AP
SALEM, Ore. -- Authorities in Oregon now say more than 500,000 people statewide have been forced to evacuate because of wildfires.
The latest figures from Thursday evening come from the Oregon Office of Emergency Management. That's over 10% of the state's 4.2 million population.
More than 1,400 square miles (3,625 square kilometers) have burned this week in the state. Authorities say the wildfire activity was particularly acute Thursday afternoon in northwestern Oregon as hot, windy conditions continued.
At a news conference Thursday, Gov. Kate Brown said there have been fatalities but the exact number is not yet known. There have been at least three reported fire deaths in the state.
(Please note: these alerts were posted on Friday afternoon)
(Read more)
- Father, we pray over Oregon. We pray for all affected by the fires. Provide for those who have had to flee, protect those who have remained, and restore what has been lost. We speak to the fires, "Peace be still"
- 1 The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing. 2 He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, 3 he refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name's sake. 4 Even though I walk through the darkest valley,I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. 5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. 6 Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. (Psalm 23:1-7)
11. Trump to visit California to assess wildfires - Fox News
President Trump is set to visit California Monday to assess the damage done by widespread wildfires up and down the West Coast.
He will go to McClellan Park in Sacramento County to join federal fire and emergency officials, and be briefed on the fires.
The president approved a Major Disaster Declaration for the state effective Aug. 14 to approve individual and public assistance.
"Since mid-August, President Trump and Governor Newsom have spoken by phone and the White House and FEMA have remained in constant contact with State and local officials throughout the response to these natural disasters," White House press secretary Judd Deere said in a statement. "The President continues to support those who are battling raging wildfires in a locally-executed, state-managed, and federally-supported emergency response."
Colorado, Montana, Oregon, Utah, Washington and Wyoming also are receiving federal assistance for wildfires impacting their state. (Read more)
- Lord God, we in Your Name, we forbid any protestors from appearing at this Press Briefing. We ask that You continue to guide President Trump as he seeks to support and coordinate the response to this disaster at all levels, in all states. For such a time as this, You have placed him in office. Amen and amen.
- "Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven." (Matthew 18:19)

Still all my song shall be, nearer, my God, to Thee.

There in my Savior's love, perfectly blest;

Hurricane warnings in effect for parts of Gulf Coast as Tropical Storm Sally gathers strength
Hurricane and tropical storm warnings were in effect for portions of the U.S. Gulf Coast as AccuWeather meteorologists on Sunday continued monitoring the latest threat to the U.S.: Tropical Storm Sally, which had taken shape a day earlier.
Sally was gathering strength as it moved over the Gulf of Mexico, where water temperatures range from the low- to mid-80s F, and the storm is forecast to reach hurricane strength before making landfall along the Gulf Coast.
By 4 p.m. EDT on Sunday, the storm was centered 165 miles south of Panama City, Florida, and about 215 miles east-southeast of the mouth of Mississippi River. It was moving west-northwestward at 9 mph and maximum sustained winds had remained at 60 mph. Sally, formerly Tropical Depression 19, ramped up quickly and strengthened to a tropical storm at 2 p.m. EDT on Saturday afternoon.
Forecasters expect Sally to continue rapidly strengthening into Monday and anticipate Sally to become a Category 1 hurricane. Because of the wind and rain impacts combined, however, AccuWeather meteorologists have rated Sally a 2 on the AccuWeather RealImpact Scale for Hurricanes.

- Father God, we are so thankful for the many times we have turned to You when these storms have been approaching our coastlines, asking You to turn or to lessen the storm. And Father God, we do so now again.
With the Word of God in our hands, we decree the following, asking You to quell the storm and keep all who are in its path safe. In Your Name, amen.
- And He got up and rebuked the wind and said to the sea, "Hush, be still." And the wind died down and it became perfectly calm. (Mark 4:39)
"I will show wonders in the heavens above and signs on the earth below, blood and fire and billows of smoke." (Acts 2:19)

50 Evangelicals get Special Permission to Enter Israel to 'Fulfill Isaiah's Prophecy'
Strangers shall stand and pasture your flocks, Aliens shall be your plowmen and vine-trimmers; Isaiah 61:5 (The Israel BibleTM)
Against all odds and despite coronavirus health restrictions, Christian volunteers came to Samaria to fulfill prophecy by harvesting grapes in the Shomron (Samaria).
For fifteen years, HaYovel has been bringing international volunteers to help the small farmers of Judea and Samaria harvest their grapes. Through the years, more than 3,000 Christian volunteers from 30 countries have helped more than ten farmers harvest 3,400 tons of grapes but, by all considerations, HaYovel's sixteenth grape harvest in Samaria should not have happened.
Some national borders were closed and most had travel restrictions that usually included lengthy quarantines. But their devotion to Israel and prophecy knows no bounds.
During the war with Gaza and Operation Protective Edge, HaYovel was in the vineyards. During the years of knife attacks, car-rammings, and stone throwings, HaYovel continued bringing volunteers. Through it all, this evangelical organization has stayed committed to the prophecy by been picking grapes in the biblical heartland.

About Capitol Hill Prayer Partners
Our Mission Statement
Capitol Hill Prayer Partners (CHPP) is a ministry which is positioned on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., helping members of the Body of Christ to "pray for those in authority over us" in our federal government.

Because Jesus Christ has shed His blood for all, we, too, pray for ALL, in a nonpartisan manner. Also, because the scriptures indicate that "the effectual, fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much" (James 4:17), we are confident that fervent prayer, offered in the halls of the highest chambers of government in our land, can avail much for America. Capitol Hill Prayer Partners welcomes those who feel called to join us, engaging in this strategic work of intercession for our nation: "For there is no power but of God; the powers that be are ordained of God."

THE RETURN
The Return is a movement, an appointed time, and a specific day set apart for one purpose - the return to God by coming before His presence in humility, in sincerity in prayer, and repentance.
The movement begins now and will continue through the entire year of 2020 leading up to 10 Days of Vigilant Prayer - Starting with the Biblical Feast of Trumpets and ending with the Day of Atonement (September 18-September 28). The central day of The Return will be Saturday, September 26, 2020 on the National Mall and throughout the nation and world.
Come to the Live Event in Washington or take part by Live Simulcast wherever you are - In your Home, Church, Town, or City!
