Netanyahu to foreign envoys: ‘Europe will be next’
|
|
If Israel does not defeat Iranian terrorism, Europe will be next and “no one will be safe,” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told ambassadors to the Jewish state on Monday, asking them to support Israel’s war against the Hamas terrorist group.
“What we see is a broader battle between civilization and barbarism. The barbarism is led by an Axis of Terror. The Axis of Terror is led by Iran. It includes Hamas, Hezbollah, [the] Houthis and their other minions,” said the prime minister. (Read more)

Lord God, we cover Israel and all other nations in prayer right now. We cover them all under the blood of Jesus. We pray that each, and every leader would humble themselves, bowing before you, King of kings, and Lord of lords, to seek your counsel and your wisdom. We pray that all nations will come together in unity to defeat evil instead of making excuses and encouraging war and destruction, in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.
10 Therefore, you kings, be wise;
be warned, you rulers of the earth.
11 Serve the Lord with fear
and celebrate his rule with trembling.
(Psalm 2:10-11)

How the US Spent $4.1 Billion on Global LGBT Initiatives
|
|
|
The US government is pouring money into LGBT initiatives in US schools, as well as countries from Belarus to Nigeria to China.
|
|
During the past three fiscal years, $4.1 billion in federal money from taxpayers has flowed to LGBT initiatives in the United States and around the world, an Epoch Times investigation has revealed.
From Oct. 1, 2020, through Sept. 30, 2023, the U.S. government issued more than 1,100 grants to fund LGBT-promoting projects around the world, according to a review of a federal spending website.
The scope of projects varies widely.
Plans to create a "safe space for LGBTQ youth and adults to seek support and resources" earned a $1.8 million grant from the U.S. government in 2022 for the LGBT Life Center in Norfolk, Virginia.
A proposal for encouraging "diversity, equity, and inclusion in Serbia's workplaces and business communities by promoting economic empowerment of and opportunity for LGBTQI+ people in Serbia" was also a winning plan. To fund it, the U.S. government awarded Serbian activist group Grupa Izadji a grant of $500,000.
An Armenian activist group, the Pink Human Rights Defender, received $1 million from the United States "to empower the LGBTI community" in Armenia, a tiny country next to Turkey.
The federal spending website can be filtered to show entries that include specific keywords. A list of payouts filtered by using the keyword "LGBT" included 1,181 grants, 31 loans, and nine direct payments during the past three fiscal years. (The Epoch Times) Read more here.

- Lord God, we are so grieved that our taxpayer dollars have gone to this initiative, as well as other initiatives in our own country, and all of the world sponsoring our demise. It does nothing but spread division and confusion. We come against this right now in the spirit, in the mighty name of Jesus. We cut at the root of this funding and at this evil agenda that it will fall, and it cannot come to fruition, in the mighty name of Jesus.
- “May the evil plans of my enemies be turned against them. Do as you promised and put an end to them.” (Psalm 54:5)

Trump Testifies About Properties, Net Worth, Tells AG 'You Have No Case'
|
|
NEW YORK—Former President Donald Trump will testify today as the defendant in a civil fraud petition brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James in September 2022.
The trial, presided over by New York Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron, began on Oct. 2, and is a bench trial. A number of outside bankers, financial experts, and accountants for the Trump Organization have already testified, as have Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr., who are both executive vice presidents at the Trump Organization.
Ivanka Trump, who was dismissed from the case as a defendant, is expected to testify on Wednesday.
The former president has thus far maintained that he has done nothing wrong in the case that may decide the fate of his real estate empire. Trump Organization companies, President Trump, Mr. Eric Trump, Mr. Donald Trump Jr., Trump Organization chief financial officer Allen Weisselberg, and Trump Organization comptroller Jeffrey McConney are named defendants in a suit where the attorney general is accusing them of artificially inflating the asset values in Trump Organization statements of financial condition (SFC) to get better terms from banks and insurers, thus defrauding the state.
In April, President Trump was deposed for the case, and in a seven-hour interview claimed that his properties were worth more than what was listed on the SFCs. He has said similarly in press briefings during the trial, and is expected to do so on the witness stand as well. (The Epoch Times) Read more here.

Lord God, we continue to lift up President Trump and his family to you and cover them in the blood of Jesus and over this case. We declare that truth and justice will be served, and that no improper judgment will be had in Jesus' name.

1. Cohen to new US envoy: Israel ‘will not stop or be silent’ until hostages returned - JNS
Israeli Foreign Minister Eli Cohen on Tuesday held his first meeting with newly minted U.S. Ambassador to Jerusalem Jack Lew.
According to an Israeli statement, the two spoke about the ongoing war against Hamas, Iran’s support for terrorism and ways to preserve the Trump administration-brokered Abraham Accords that normalized the Jewish state’s relations with the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Morocco and Sudan.
They also discussed efforts to free more than 240 hostages captured and taken back to the Gaza Strip during Hamas’s Oct. 7 massacre in southern Israel. (Read more)

2. Netanyahu: Small tactical pause to Gaza war possible - Jerusalem Post
Israel could consider a small tactical pause to the Gaza war for an hour or so, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told David Muir of ABC’s World News Tonight program as he responded to the international pressure for a ceasefire.
“As far as tactical little pauses, an hour here, an hour there, we have had them before,” Netanyahu said.
“We will check the circumstances in order to enable humanitarian goods to come in or individual hostages to leave,” he stated on Tuesday.
Earlier in the day he spoke with US President Joe Biden about the possibility of such a pause to the war which was sparked on October 7, when Hamas killed over 1,400 people in southern Israel and kidnapped over 240 others. (Read more)

3. Israel downing Houthi missile is first instance of space warfare - Jerusalem Post
For the first time ever, Israel was pushed to the ends of the Earth last week.
Last Tuesday, it was announced that the Arrow missile defense system shot down a ballistic missile for the first time, in this instance fired at Israel by Houthi rebels in Yemen.
The IDF stated that air force systems tracked the missile’s trajectory and intercepted it “at the most appropriate operational time and location.”
According to a report in the UK's Daily Telegraph, the missile was intercepted outside of the Earth's atmosphere. (Read more)

4. Gantz says Israel fighting ‘multi-front war,’ faces unprecedented challenges in Gaza - Times of Israel
War cabinet minister Benny Gantz says that Israel is in a “multi-front war,” marking the government’s strongest description yet of the expansion of Israel’s ongoing war, centered on the Hamas terror group in Gaza.
“The focus is Gaza – but we are fighting on defense and on offense both in the north and elsewhere,” the minister says, in an address from Tel Aviv’s military headquarters marking a month since Hamas’s murderous October 7 onslaught, which triggered the current hostilities.
More than 20 rockets were fired earlier today from Lebanon into Israel, as US diplomats continue to try to remove Hezbollah from the spiraling fight. (Read more)

5. PM says Israel to have 'overall security' role in Gaza indefinitely -Israel Hayom
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel will have "overall security responsibility" in Gaza for an indefinite period after its war with Hamas, the clearest indication yet that Israel plans to maintain control over the coastal enclave that is home to some 2.3 million Palestinians.
In an interview with ABC News that aired late Monday, Netanyahu expressed openness to "little pauses" in the fighting to facilitate the release of some of the more than 240 captives seized by Hamas in its Oct. 7 attack into Israel, which triggered the war exactly one month ago.
But he ruled out any general ceasefire without the release of all the hostages, and the White House said there was no agreement with United States President Joe Biden's call for a broader humanitarian pause after a phone call between the leaders on Monday.
Israeli troops have been battling Palestinian terrorists inside Gaza for over a week, and have succeeded in cutting the territory in half and encircling Gaza City. (Read more)

1. Elderly Jewish Man Killed by Pro-Hamas Thug in Los Angeles for Waving Israeli Flag - Todd Starnes
A 69-year-old Jewish man was killed in Southern California after he was struck in the head by a pro-Hamas goon. He was reportedly attacked because he was waving an Israeli flag.
The victim, who was identified as Paul Kessler, was hit in the head with a megaphone and fell to the ground in the Westlake Village area.
Former White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer was appalled by the brutality.
“This man, Paul Kessler, was killed because he waived this flag. In the United States of America. May his memory be a blessing. May the person who did it go to prison for the rest of his life,” he wrote on Twitter.
The Ventura County Medical Examiner’s Office said an autopsy determined Paul Kessler died as a result of a blunt force head injury. The Sheriff’s Dept. says they are treating the death as a homicide. (Read more)

Father, we agree with Ari Fleischer's prayer for this man's memory to be a blessing and ask You to comfort His family and the Jewish community at this point of senseless indifference. We ask You to rebuke the demonic darkness that compels the pro-hamas character to murder this man as he stood up for his beliefs. We pray for our nation to speak out with a strong voice for equal justice under the law that is meant to be blind and protect the freedoms of all people, in Jesus name.
"Precious in the sight of the Lord Is the death of His saints." (Psalm 116:15)

2. 'To Kill a Mockingbird’ Removed From Seattle-Area Classrooms - Todd Starnes
A liberal-leaning school district in the Greater Seattle Area removed Pulitzer Prize-winning novel “To Kill A Mockingbird” from ninth-grade required reading over concerns of racial insensitivities, The Washington Post reported on Friday.
Several English teachers behind the initiative in Washington state’s Mukilteo School District argued the Harper Lee book, published in 1960, “centers on whiteness” and “presents a barrier to understanding and celebrating an authentic Black point of view in Civil Rights era literature,” according to their formal book challenge described by The Post.
“Mockingbird,” which recounts race and criminal justice in the Depression-era South, is widely read in American high schools. During a Mukilteo committee meeting in late 2021, members voted to strike the novel from required reading, but they kept it as optional on the district’s approved curriculum list. (Read more)

Abba, we pray for Your guidance and direction in these matters of racial issues in our schools and country because censorship is never a solution. We pray for teachers to be able to teach with integrity in order to give students the space to learn how to handle such issues with kindness and grace. We also pray for stability in a land where freedom of speech is meant to be exercised in all places and for spiritual maturing in order to face inflammatory or painful issues. We call for Your peace, wisdom and understanding to descend upon the tensions, in Jesus name.
"Open to me the gates of righteousness; I will go through them, And I will praise the Lord." (Psalm 118:19)

3. Dem Candidate Pushed Satan Clubs on Primary School Students - Todd Starnes
A man who promoted Satan clubs for primary schools is running for a seat in the Virginia House of Delegates. Jeremy Rodden is a Democrat who does more than just dabble in Satanology. He’s actually written “demonic” children’s books and he once backed a satanic club for children at B.M. Williams Primary School.
Last year Rodden posted a flier to his campaign Facebook page that said, “Hey kids! Let’s have fun at After School Satan Club!” It’s horrifying, but in many public schools administrators have welcomed Satan while giving God the heave-ho.
Folks around Chesapeake were horrified by the invitation.
“I’m no preacher or pastor, but I stand for God, and I can’t and won’t tolerate a city government/school board that takes it upon themselves to put a club in school to ‘have fun with Satan’ for little primary school children,” Stan Epps Jr. told CBN News. “I will not be scared to stand up for the safety of our future generations and I will not be quiet because it may ‘offend’ people. I’m appalled.” (Read more)

- Holy King, we bind and rebuke this evil activity being foisted upon our schools and young children, in Jesus name. We release the spirit of bold and courageous followers of Jesus Christ to go into the schools and exercise the right to hold After School Jesus Clubs for children and present a biblical perspective where children can learn about their culture and society and inquire about the world around them, in Jesus name. We pray for this democratic candidate to encounter the power and lovingkindness of the Living God, leading him to repent and be saved.
- "'And you shall do what is right and good in the sight of the Lord, that it may be well with you, and that you may go in and possess the good land of which the Lord swore to your fathers, to cast out all your enemies from before you, as the Lord has spoken.'" (Deuteronomy 6:18-19)

4. Obama’s moral equivalence between Hamas and Israel encourages hate - JNS
After weeks without saying much of anything about the atrocities perpetrated by Hamas terrorists in southern Israel on Oct. 7, the 44th president has weighed in on the subject while appearing on a podcast hosted by former staffers Dan Pfeiffer and Tommy Vieter.
According to the former president, the main takeaway from Oct. 7 is that as bad as Hamas is, Israel is just as bad. “You have to admit that nobody’s hands are clean, that all of us are complicit to some degree,” he declared. That means acknowledging, he continued, “that what Hamas did was horrific and there’s no justification for it. And what is also true is that the occupation and what’s happening to Palestinians is unbearable.”
In Obama’s moral universe, Israel’s alleged sins are as grievous as those of Palestinian terrorists who were cheered by their own people and their foreign enablers for depraved acts, including rape, torture, the murder of entire families and the kidnapping of as many as 240 men, women and children who were dragged back to Gaza.

- Father, we repent for the position and statements espoused by Barack Obama and decree that America stands with Israel, in Jesus name. We pray for this man to understand the gravity of his statements and how they encourage the spirits that are rioting, raging and murdering. We ask You, O King, to silence his words with truth and determination to protect and defend those who are on the front lines of this war and squelch the plans of all those who seek Israel's harm, in Jesus holy name.
- 'Thus says the Lord of hosts; "Behold, I will save My people from the land of the east And from the land of the west; I will bring them back, And they shall dwell in the midst of Jerusalem. They shall be My people And I will be their God, In truth and righteousness." (Zechariah 8:7-8)

5. IDF: ‘We are working on one tunnel after another, demolishing them’ - JNS
The Israel Defense Forces is intensifying its maneuvers in Gaza City against Hamas, military spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari stated on Monday, adding that the growing number of Hamas terrorists and field commanders being eliminated is creating pressure on the terrorist army that rules the enclave.
Addressing IDF efforts to demolish the underground terror tunnel network dubbed “the metro,” Hagari said that Hamas, which deliberately places tunnel shafts under hospitals, mosques, schools and humanitarian sites, is systematically losing its underground access.
“We are working—going from one tunnel to another, placing weapons there, and using a range of means to destroy this infrastructure, including through new ways soon,” said Hagari. “There is no place where Hamas will be free from IDF’s offensive capabilities.” (Read more)

|

Thank You Father, for enabling the IDF to be thorough and effective in this process of destroying tunnels and recovering assets. We beseech You to direct them to the hostages so that they may all be recovered and saved, in Jesus name. May the strategies and tools of the IDF be powerful in shutting down the tunnels and resources that Hamas has located in direct proximity to children, the vulnerable and the weak. We pray that this wickedness will become repeatedly and painfully obvious to the whole world, especially as the IDF protects the citizens of Gaza fleeing safely, in Jesus name.
"The nations have sunk down in the pit which they made; In the net which they hid, their own foot is caught. The Lord is known by the judgment He executes; The wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Meditation. Selah." (Psalm 9:15-16)

We ask You to continue standing alongside President Trump, showing him the way forward and how to walk in it. We also pray for his teams that are working so hard for him; we pray they receive divine strategies and wisdom to be victorious against every lie and accusation from the pit, in Jesus name. Amen.

7. Thousands attend pro-Israel rally in New York City as IDF continues fighting Hamas terrorists in Gaza - Fox News
Thousands of Israel supporters gathered near Central Park in New York City on Monday to show support as Israel's war against Hamas continues. The event, which was called "New York Stands with Israel," was organized by UJA-Federation of New York, according to the Jerusalem Post. A massive number of protestors flooded the streets of the Big Apple, with some waving Israeli flags.
Videos of the demonstrations show protestors chanting "Bring them home," referring to the over 200 hostages that Hamas has kept captive in Gaza since Oct. 7. Those hostages include dozens of children and more than 50 Thai workers, as well as several Americans. The New York Police Department (NYPD) also had a presence at the rally.
The protests come as the Israeli government continues its offensive against Hamas in Gaza. The war began on October 7 when Hamas terrorists launched a surprise attack against Israel on the Jewish holiday of Simchat Torah. (Read more)

We rejoice Abba that many people are standing up for Israel and crying out for the release of the hostages. We pray that the agencies responsible to make humanitarian visits to assess the welfare of the hostages would actually check on them so families can know the conditions of their loved ones, in Jesus name. We decree 100% release of every hostage, from the youngest to the oldest, in Jesus' mighty name and we decree victory and strength upon the IDF and protection for all those who stand and speak out in support of Israel. Amen.
- "Oh, that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion! When the Lord brings back the captivity of His people, Let Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad." (Psalm 14:7)

8. Newsom Comes Back From China, Immediately Touts Mass Child Surveillance Program - The Daily Caller
Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom announced his state’s new data monitoring system for students had reached a pivotal development point shortly after returning from visiting China.
The Cradle-to-Career Data System, which the state of California says will “provide data-informed tools to help students reach their college career goals,” has “received its first data installment” and has begun “integrating over 1 billion data points,” according to a Nov. 1 press release from the California governor’s office. Newsom recently returned from visiting China on Oct. 29, during which time he test drove Chinese electric vehicles, tobogganed down the Great Wall of China and met with General Secretary Xi Jinping, according to multiple reports.
Following the publication of this piece, Newsom’s office disputed the DCNF’s characterization of Cradle-to-Career as “surveillance” and noted the announcement was not related to Newsom’s trip to China. (Read more)

Holy King, we thank You for giving every human being a brain with reasoning abilities and courage in order to take charge of and live our lives independently and responsibly. We take authority over the surveillance of children and families that this governor is establishing in California and we bind and rebuke every aspect, every element, every piece of data in it and declare it null and void, in Jesus name. We call for complete disarray in every piece of technology, every data point, and every line of code. May it provide completely failed and useless information, in every case, for the glory of Almighty God.
"Therefore, lay aside all filthiness and overflow of wickedness, and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls." (James 1:21)

Witnessing Prophetic Types And Shadows
Of The End Times
The Daily Jot, Bill Wilson, November 7, 2023
There is a phenomena among humans: Someone causes trouble and the one who retaliates gets blamed. We see it in sports when someone commits an egregious foul, the person fouled retaliates and gets penalized. Such is the case with Hamas and Israel. It is for blood. Hamas did the terrorist deed. Brutally torturing, raping, dismembering, beheading, ripping babies from the womb, and killing innocent civilians in a surprise attack. Within days, the news media was questioning whether Israel should respond. Then the Arab nations condemned Israel for its own self-defense. Then the United Nations began condemning Israel for its thoughts and plans for self-defense, falling into the terrorist plan.
The terrorist plan, which is shared by a list of Arab countries including Turkey and Iran blatantly, and others like Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Egypt, Lebanon, Syria, who are somewhat more diplomatic, is the elimination of Israel and the Jewish people from the face of the earth. It has been so stated, even by the Palestinian Authority which is given billions of dollars by European nations and the United States. Such a double standard, saying this money is given for humanitarian purposes with a liberal bleeding heart wink knowing full well that the money allows for the purchase of military equipment and funds an infrastructure for purposes of Israeli genocide. Hamas is the most recent shining example. Read More

Is America at risk for Hamas terror?
|
|
|
|
At a congressional hearing on Tuesday, FBI director Christopher Wray said that Hamas’s brutal terror attack on Israel that left more than 1,400 dead, mainly civilians, “will serve as an inspiration [for Islamist terrorists], the likes of which we haven’t seen since ISIS launched its so-called caliphate several years ago.”
There is growing concern about the sympathy on display in major U.S. cities and on large college campuses for Hamas terrorists and their supporters in Iran. Chants of “Free Palestine” accompany distinguished professors justifying Hamas’s murder as “awesome” or saying its members have “every right” to kill innocent Jews and Israelis.
Alongside this is a Cygnal poll which found 57.5% of Muslims living in America believe Hamas’s attack was justified and 38.6% see the organization’s leader, Ismail Haniyeh, in a favorable light. Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei, who openly calls for Israel’s and America’s destruction, has 31.3% favorability with Muslim Americans. (JNS.org) Read more here.

Holy King, we look to You for protection and wisdom to know how to deal with the potential of more Islamic terror on our soil. We know that You speak first to the prophets, so we ask that we all have ears to hear what Your Spirit is speaking to this nation. We pray for the Muslim people in our land to also have ears to hear what Your Spirit is speaking to them in drawing them to know You, Your heart, Your love, and Your forgiveness. We pray for a mighty God-ordained revival to sweep across the Islamic communities, in Jesus name.

As Anti-Semitism Skyrockets, White House Focuses on Islamophobia, Is This Why?
|
|
|
|
It turns out that Muslim voters—usually reliable Democratic votes—are hopping mad over Biden's support for Israel. The Washington Post called it "warp-speed unraveling of relations." The National Muslim Democratic Council wrote a letter complaining that Biden had "eroded trust in voters who previously put their faith in you" and threatened to "withhold endorsement, support, or votes" from Democrats who supported Israel.

|

"The Biden-Harris administration will develop our nation's first National Strategy to Counter Islamophobia," ... Kamala Harris announced Wednesday. Yes, you read that correctly—the Biden administration is taking steps to protect the religion symbolized by a crescent, not a six-sided star. "Even as anti-Semitic rhetoric and threats of violence skyrocket throughout the United States, the Biden administration is developing a strategy to combat Islamophobia," said Family Research Council President Tony Perkins on "Washington Watch."
Indeed, the timing of the announcement could hardly be more awkward for the White House, coming a week after Jewish students at The Cooper Union had to shelter in a locked library as a pro-Hamas mob banged on the doors—just one of many recent anti-Semitic outrages. On top of that, in case anyone needed reminding about the right side of the conflict in the Middle East, last week Hamas reiterated it aims at the total "annihilation" of Israel, shortly before the United Nations General Assembly demanded Israel stop firing back before it even began in earnest.

- Father God, if this White House ever got something backwards, now is the time.
Oh . . . my . . . God! The danger we face is NOT from the world of Israel and those who support her. Rather, the danger we now face, in increasing measure, is from ISLAM.
We ask that Congress and others in authority, as well as our everyday American citizens, not take heed to this rhetoric, but instead stand on TRUTH in our national policy! Help us, O Lod we pray, help us!
- "And Asa cried out to the Lord his God, and said, “Lord, it is nothing for You to help, whether with many or with those who have no power; help us, O Lord our God, for we rest on You, and in Your name we go against this multitude. O Lord, You are our God; do not let man prevail against You!" (2 Chronicles 14:11)

Remembering Kristallnacht
November 9 - 10, 2023
|
|
|
|
To those who have been called, who are loved by God the Father and kept for Yeshua the Messiah: May mercy, love and shalom be yours in full measure. Now, to the one who can keep you from falling and set you without defect and full of joy in the presence of his Sh’khinah — to God alone, our Deliverer, through Yeshua the Messiah, our Lord — be glory, majesty, power and authority before all time, now and forever. Jude 1-2, 24-25 CJB

Kristallnacht, also known as the “November Pogroms” or the “Night of Broken Glass,” was a shocking act of anti-Semitic violence against Jewish people that occurred during the lead-up to the Holocaust in World War II. This violent event unfolded on the night of November 9–10, 1938, in Nazi Germany. This was a well-organized attack orchestrated by Nazi paramilitary forces and civilians targeting Jewish people.
The name “Kristallnacht” originated from the widespread shattering of glass from windows in Jewish-owned establishments, synagogues and residences during this hateful event. The violence was instigated and sanctioned by the Nazi regime, which had been escalating its anti-Semitic policies and propaganda since taking power in 1933. This resulted in the death of at least 91 Jewish people, thousands more were arrested, and countless Jewish owned properties were destroyed.
This event served as a turning point in the history of the Holocaust, signifying a shift from anti-Semitic legislation and discrimination to violent, organized attacks on the Jewish population. It foreshadowed the horrors that would unfold during the Holocaust, including the systematic murder of six million Jewish people. Kristallnacht stands as a solemn reminder of the consequences that can arise when a society remains silent in the face of unchecked hatred and acts of violence against Jewish people.
On October 7, 2023, we witnessed the deadliest day in Israel and Jewish history since the Holocaust. Today, we continue to witness an alarming and dangerous escalation of anti-Semitism since that horrific attack in Israel. It is shocking and deeply disturbing to see the level of hatred and rage that has erupted in our nation and around the world against our Jewish brothers and sisters.
As Christians, we bear a tremendous responsibility before God to be our brothers’ keepers. We are those whom the LORD has called to carry His sons and daughters back to their God-given land, Israel (Isa. 49:22). We owe the Jewish people a profound debt; therefore, let us remain steadfast in our prayers, love, and support for Israel, all Jewish people in the land, and those in the diaspora. We cannot stand by silently at this critical crossroads for Israel, its people, and the nations. Let us persevere, building ourselves up in our most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit, keeping ourselves in God’s love as we wait upon Him to bring about the fullness of His redemptive plan for Israel and all the nations. For His Holy Name’s Sake!
We will continue to stand strong in our commitment to support Israel and her people. Your generosity, both in prayer and financial support, is the driving force that enables us to offer crucial assistance to Jewish people returning to Israel. The challenges ahead are significant, and we must make provision for their safety and meet all their needs as they navigate the many challenges and dangers they may encounter on their Aliyah journey. Please prayerfully consider making a gift to bless our Jewish brothers and sisters. Thank you!

The discovery using NASA's Webb telescope is exciting for black hole research because there is still much unknown about these enigmas of the universe. Astronomers believe black holes formed within the first billion years after the Big Bang.
Using not one, but two powerful NASA space telescopes, astronomers have discovered a black hole so distant it could reveal how some of the first supermassive black holes formed.
Researchers combined data from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and the James Webb Space Telescope to seek out the signs of a growing black hole from 470 million years after the Big Bang – when the universe was only 3% of its current age, according to NASA.
The research using NASA telescopes led by Ákos Bogdán with the Harvard & Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics was published in Nature Astronomy on Monday. Read More

Doctor in Israel tells how ‘miracles’ help save lives of Hamas victims
|
|
Dr. Yoram Klein, director of trauma and critical care surgery at Sheba Medical Center, located just outside of Tel Aviv and the largest medical center in the Middle East, told me that he does not think in terms of medical miracles. But when I interviewed him on Doctor Radio on SiriusXM, his entire story was of miracles.
First, he told me that all of the patients his hospital received after the Hamas atrocities (92 patients within eight hours on October 7 and several more since) are still alive. Many suffered from penetrating injuries, large amounts of internal bleeding and nerve damage. Some had ruptured vessels that were not immediately accessible in the operating room, and yet, over three weeks later all of them have survived so far.
If that weren’t miracle enough, Klein went on to cite several stories of spiritual overcoming and survival against all odds. One man, Amichai, which in Hebrew means "my people live," held the door of the shelter where he was with both his hands while the terrorists were targeting him, his wife, and his six kids, Klein said:
"And he just held the door and absorbed all the munitions and gunfire they were aiming at opening the door, and they failed, and they just figured out that they are wasting too much time here and went to find families that were easier to kill – this cost him severe injuries, but he saved his family. He lost one hand, and the other hand, one forearm basically ... is severely damaged.” (Read more)
- Thank You, Lord for the miracles revealing You are still present in spite of the war. Miracles are not always visible in the midst of trouble, but that others recognize Your Hand is amazing.
- “For nothing will be impossible with God.” (Luke 1:37)

"Commit your way to the Lord,
Trust also in Him,
And He shall bring it to pass.
He shall bring forth your righteousness as the light,
And your justice as the noonday."

"Dear Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner, and I ask for Your forgiveness. I believe You died for my sins and rose from the dead. I turn from my sins and invite You to come into my heart and life. I want to trust and follow You as my Lord and Savior. In Your Name."

Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus
To listen to this classic hymn, CLICK HERE
Words and Music: Helen Lemmel
Scripture: Let us fix our eyes on Jesus. Hebrews 12:2
Lyrics:
O soul, are you weary and troubled?
No light in the darkness you see?
There’s a light for a look at the Savior,
And life more abundant and free!
Refrain
Turn your eyes upon Jesus,
Look full in His wonderful face,
And the things of the world will grow strangely dim
In the light of His glory and grace
Through death into life everlasting
He passed, and we follow Him there;
Over us sin no more hath dominion—
For more than conquerors we are!
Refrain
His Word shall not fai you—He promised;
Believe Him, and all will be well:
Then go to a world that is dying,
His perfect salvation to tell!
