Israel’s unprecedented second election in 5 months means we must pray like never before for Israel and her people! On Tuesday, Israelis returned to the polls for an unprecedented second round of elections. Just 5 months ago, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appeared to survive a vicious election season, being re-elected for a historic fifth term. But despite the victory, Prime Minister Netanyahu was unable to gather together a majority to establish his governing coalition. As the re...

Fighting erupts on Israel’s northern border, Hezbollah promises a war of terror Early last week, a sudden firefight erupted along the borderline of Israel and Lebanon. Hezbollah – nothing more than a group of extreme, radicalized terrorists who are well-funded by Iran – fired anti-tank missiles at a clearly-marked ambulance on an Israeli army base. I thank God that no one was hurt. But here’s the reality of the situation: an all-out war will mean many innocent casualties. This cruel ...

No doubt by now you’ve heard about the firestorm of controversy surrounding congresswomen Rashida Talib and Ilan Omar … Talib is an American lawyer of Palestinian descent who serves as a member of the United States House of Representatives, representing Michigan. Omar is an American of Somali descent elected to the United States House of Representatives for the State of Minnesota.

Violence erupts on the Temple Mount, and what it means The Temple Mount is unlike any other holy site in the world … And there’s no other place on the planet that holds more meaning and sacred significance to the Jewish people – at the base of which the Western Wall of the old Temple courtyard still stands. The Temple Mount is where Abraham prepared to offer his son Isaac in obedience until – foreshadowing the eventual coming of Messiah – God stopped him and provided a substitute sacrif...

Jewish teen stabbed, murdered in a violent act of terror Nineteen-year-old Dvir Sorek, a Jewish student enrolled in the Hesder military program, was found murdered outside the gate of the settlement of Migdal Oz in the West Bank. According to reports, Sorek was unarmed and studying. I can’t begin to imagine the anguish Sorek’s family must be feeling right now – the shock, grief and even anger at such a violent act. The initial investigation claims Sorek fought for his life before his...

Israel threatened on all sides … a signpost of end-times prophecy coming true Late last week, in less than 24 hours, two brief attacks erupted along two separate border areas in Israel: One attack targeted Israel Defense Force (IDF) troops stationed in the south along the Gaza strip.

Israel defends herself in targeted, strategic strikes against Iran and Hezbollah Since the eruption of conflict began in 2011, Israel has defended itself by carrying out hundreds of airstrikes targeting Iranian and Hezbollah forces entrenched in Syria. Many of Israel’s strikes are in an effort to prevent weapons from being transferred and distributed among Iranian-backed terror organizations that seek to utterly destroy Israel. In mid-July, it was reported that the Israeli Air Forc...

August 1‒7 Prayer for Israel Border Communities On all sides, Israel faces people who resent her existence. The Golan Heights in Israel’s northeast is critical to her defense, and Syria wants it back. Syria’s civil war and Iran’s meddling presence there brought fighting dangerously close to the Golan border. Hezbollah in Lebanon to the north and Hamas and Islamic Jihad in the Gaza Strip to the south are consumed with eliminating Israel. Israeli communities in these boundary regions are vul...

Does Israel Have a Right to Exist? Current Political Campaign Against Israel Says, "No!" Over the past few years, the anti-Semitic Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement has spread and thrived on college campuses, and in companies, local organizations and local governments across the U.S., Canada and Europe. More recently, supporters - which includes some newer members of the U.S. Congress - are campaigning to see it enacted at national levels. So far, BDS proponents have yet to ...

The potential for all-out war in Israel continues to escalate On Friday, the Israeli army strengthened their missile defenses in response to a growing threat of violence from Hamas along the southern border. The southern Israeli communities are regularly targeted by rockets fired by Gaza terrorist groups – I’ve often shared updates and have asked you to join us in prayer for the safety of the Jewish people in these areas. In fact, just last May, we witnessed a major outbreak of violence...
