One tends to refer to Abraham, but simply claiming it doesn't make it an Abrahamic religion, does it?

Is the dispute of two of the three religious or a family dispute?

 

[Benaiah468]

Ezekiel 37(CJB) "Make them Y'hudah&Efrayim a Single Stick", How to Realize?

YHVH is an Elohim who restores.

How does He do this?

He calls us to His ancient ways.

The ancient ways bring rest for our souls

Thus saith the Lord, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein. Jer 6:16

Jesus refers directly to Jeremiah

Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. Mt 11:29

In Hebrew thought, "yoke" refers to the Torah.

Jesus is saying: I am a rabbi, follow my teachings (Torah) and come with me to the ancient ways, where, as Jeremiah promised, rest for your souls will be found.

One can only walk the ancient path following YHVH's instructions.

What does Daniel say about those who do not follow YHVH's instructions?

And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits. Dan 11:32

And he (the Antichrist, the one who replaces the Messiah and his instructions) will use his intrigues to turn away all who transgress the covenant. (It's always about the covenant and its conditions.) But those of the people who know their G-d will be strong and act accordingly. To be strong is chazaq and means "to be strong, to strengthen, to harden, to prevail, to take hold of."

Listen to how Daniel continues:

And they that understand among the people shall instruct many: yet they shall fall by the sword, and by flame, by captivity, and by spoil, many days. Dan 11:33

It doesn't say anything about the Rapture. But that is a different topic.

Now when they shall fall, they shall be holpen with a little help: but many shall cleave to them with flatteries. Dan 11:34

While they are being persecuted, they will be given a little help, but many will not be sincere with them. And some of the wise will fall, so that many will be proven, pure and integer for the time of the end; for it is a matter of a limited time.

We learn from the Holy Scriptures that there are brothers and sisters who

want to know nothing of the old paths. (Jer 6:16)
will not sincerely stay on this paths. (Dan 11:34)
are understanding and will fall. (Dan 11:35)

My prayer has long been that Jesus will watch over me and bring me to the end.

Isn't now the time for all of us to strengthen ourselves in HIM, to become firmly established in HIM

“but David encouraged himself in the Lord his G-d.” 1 Sam 30:6

Is it not also high time that we become understanding and help to “instruct many”?

YHVH restores and calls to the paths of old.

Turn ye unto me, saith the Lord of hosts, and I will turn unto you, saith the Lord of hosts. Zec 1:3b

John, the Baptist, said nothing else:

Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. Mt 3:2b

Thus also the teachings of the kingdom of heaven, the royal constitution, the Torah.

If we say that He is our Elohim and we enter into His kingdom of heaven, we must also observe the royal constitution and bind ourselves under this yoke (=Torah).

Kingdom of heaven are the believers in YHVH who submit to the Torah, in spirit. This is a lifestyle based on the foundation of repentance (teshubah).

teshubah: Repent and turn back to YHVH, change and become more like HIM. Learn what He considers clean and unclean, what is holy and unholy to Him. Learn when He wants to make an appointment with you.

Different terms - restoration, paths of old, teshubah - one concept: in the kingdom of heaven there is a royal constitution called Torah. As citizens of the kingdom of heaven, we voluntarily bind ourselves under this yoke, i.e. the Torah.

 

[Benaiah468]

Is the dispute of two of the three religious or a family dispute?

The term “Abrahamic religions” is usually derived from the three faiths of Judaism, Christianity and Islam.

While Christianity and Judaism share the Abraham of covenant, the father of many nations and patriarch of the people of Israel, the Quran in opposite reveals its ignorance of the true Abrahamic religion. It’s overall take on Abraham diverges considerably from that of Genesis. Abraham of the Quran is a very different figure from Abraham, the father of many nations (Gen 17:5): his function in theological history and his relationship with G-d is very differently understood.

From the Quran’s perspective, Abraham was the prototypical Muslim. He is used by Muhammad in the Quran as a stick to beat over the heads of Christians and Jews. This arises for example in the context of Muhammad’s disputes with the Jews of Medina (specifically in this surahs 4:44-57, 156-162). Not only Abraham, but Moses and Jesus were Muslim prophets according to the Quran. So Islam is the true heritage of Jews and Christians.

Jews and Christians who convert to Islam are actually reverting to the faith of the patriarchs, returning to the one true religion.
Islam, from a Biblical standpoint cannot be Abrahamic because it rejects Jesus Christ, the promised seed Abraham as well as the gospel that was preached to Abraham.

 

[timothyu]

Thanks and I understand , but it seems both sides forget that they are blood related. Is this another example of the blessing going to the younger son?

 

[Yusuphhai]

Ish-Shema-El, means the Lord hears man from right to left, and from left to right, man hears the Lord. It is a double way , full of interaction. What did the Lord hear? Affliction.

Gen.16:11 And the angel of the LORD said unto her, Behold, thou art with child, and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name Ishmael; because the LORD hath heard thy affliction.

The basic meaning of “Jihad” is not holy war, but “Struggle”. In Jewish teaching, everyone need to understand everyone is in “Struggle” and affliction.

Gen. 17:20 And as for Ishmael, I have heard thee: Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly; twelve princes shall he beget, and I will make him a great nation.

Why did the Lord bless Ishmael with fruitful \multiplying and great? In my opinion the Lord wants more people hear Him and He likes to hear more people.

When God comes to visit! Genesis 18:1-22:24​

A former Muslim Pakistani Christian scholar (Simon Altaf) said, "Islam is a wrong path without salvation, related to the beasts of the end times. But Yeshua, the Seed of Abraham, is the Path、Truth and Life.”

 

[Benaiah468]

Thanks and I understand , but it seems both sides forget that they are blood related. Is this another example of the blessing going to the younger son?

Yes, that may play a role, that the blessing goes to the younger son. But what about the elder son?

There has been constant strife and confrontation between Israel on the one hand and the surrounding nations and states on the other. While G-d's covenant with its promises applies unalterably to Isaac, He also promises Abraham from the beginning that he will not neglect his second and older son because of this.

And as for Ishmael, I have heard thee: Behold, I have blessed him, Gen 17:20a

Many today point to the prosperity of the Arab petrodollars, the dollar income from the sale of oil (crude oil). But the blessing of G-d is primarily not a financial blessing, but rather a spiritual one - namely eternal life. So there is hope for Ishmael's descendants from the very first pages of the Bible.

To this day, the center of the Middle East conflict is located along the line that divides Jerusalem into its Arab and Jewish quarters - especially the area around the Temple Mount or Mount of Olives.

G-d ultimately wants to bring this troubled region to the point where he can call it

Egypt my people, and Assyria the work of my hands Isa 19:25b

which includes Iraq, Syria, Lebanon and parts of Iran, Turkey, Jordan and Saudi Arabia.

And all of them, together with Israel, will be a blessing in the midst of the earth (Isa 19:24-25).

The trigger that will end the conflict is the outpouring of the Spirit from on high (Isa 32:15).

When this promised spiritual revival comes, justice and righteousness will be the result, and this in turn will lead to peace, tranquillity and security. And this is exactly what not only the Israelis are longing for today, but also the "Palestinians" and the surrounding Arab countries. It will not happen

by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of hosts. Zec 4:6

So anyone who cares about the peace of Jerusalem cannot avoid praying for an outpouring of the Spirit of G-d - on Israel and also on the neighboring Arab nations.

No one knows the exact time of the fulfillment of the above promises. We will only experience a complete fulfillment in the future messianic kingdom. Only then will the warlike conflicts in this region come to an end. I think that we can already experiencing the first harbingers and shadows of this future time of salvation.

G-d loves these nations and has a great plan for this region that includes these people groups. G-d's promises for Israel are not diminished by this, but rather strengthened.

 

[Benaiah468]

It is not only history that makes this clear, the Bible also describes how three things are supposed to be inseparably linked:

The people of Israel,
the Torah and
the land of Israel.

G-d intended it that way. And if one of them is missing, if this bond is incomplete, then this has consequences.

Let us look at the people, the Torah and the land and examine the role of each factor in this interplay. This time it is about the people.

G-d is sovereign. And in His sovereignty, He has chosen one of all peoples. Israel did not distinguish itself through special power or strength. No, it was the least of all peoples:

The Lord did not set his affection on you and choose you because you were more numerous than other peoples, for you were the fewest of all peoples. Deu 7:7

G-d wanted to glorify Himself. And of course, this works best with a people that does not already possess a certain greatness. And yet Israel had already distinguished itself through certain merits: Through their forefathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

Although the Torah had not yet been given, they knew how to live in a way that was pleasing to G-d:

I will make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and will give them all these lands, and through your offspring [or seed] all nations on earth will be blessed, [or and all nations on earth will use the name of your offspring in blessings (see 48:20)] because Abraham obeyed me and did everything I required of him, keeping my commands, my decrees and my instructions. Gen 26:4-5

Many years later, G-d frees the people of Israel from the slavery of Egypt, so that Israel witnesses the greatest miracles and signs in history.

Officially, they want to worship in the desert, but the real destination is different: the Promised Land!

Abraham, Isaac and Jacob were promised that their descendants would one day find their home in this land. The time had come. G-d wanted to give the land, which He explicitly says is His land (e.g. Jer 16:18), to His chosen people.

But first certain guidelines are needed. A holy G-d wants a holy people. Especially if they are to live in the holy land. And so He gives them guidelines and signposts to achieve a holy lifestyle: The Torah!

You are to be holy to me because I, the Lord, am holy, and I have set you apart from the nations to be my own. Lev 20:26

With the teaching of the Torah and this trained holy lifestyle, the people were ready to move to the holy land.

At this point we need to understand something crucial. Because the question naturally arises, what is our role in all of this?

Unfortunately, all the spiritualizing of the Christian community has led us to not identify with this story (and the “OT” in general).

But: the story of Israel is our story!!!

Have you ever imagined that your great-great-great-great-grandfather was there at the Exodus from Egypt? Or that your
great-ur-ur-ur-... grandmother lived in Israel under King David?

In fact, one can assume that this was the case. Why? It has to do with the divided kingdom of Israel: 10 tribes split off from the kingdom and were scattered all over the world. There they mixed with the other nations. But G-d has said that He has not forgotten them and will make all 12 tribes into one kingdom again.

And that is what we are experiencing today! Many believers are waking up and understanding that Jesus is bringing the tribes back into covenant. He didn't just die for your sins and mine. He is causing the tribes to be a part of Israel again. The Northern Kingdom was divorced from the covenant as an unfaithful wife, but she is allowed back.

This is not replacement theology! Many times in history, attempts have been made to replace the people of Israel. But that is not what the Bible describes. The Jewish people are not replaced by a new group. It is being supplemented. The house of Judah consists primarily of 2 tribes (Judah and Benjamin) and the Levites. It is a part of Israel. But there is another. The ten lost tribes, who founded their own kingdom in the north and now live all over the world.

Some people wonder whether it is important to be a descendant of the ten tribes or not. But that is not the point. No one can prove that they come from one of the tribes (unless they can prove that they have Jewish ancestors). Identity has been lost. But the ten lost tribes are directly linked to Christianity. Only then does Christianity make sense. Jesus came to bring the tribes back into the covenant:

He answered, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel.” Mt 15:24

And only when we understand that we have the heritage of this former northern kingdom do we understand the context of the NT and the whole Bible.

Without this knowledge of the divided kingdom, Christianity doesn't really make sense. It then teaches some good things, but it doesn't clarify our true identity.

When we feel His Word speaking to us and we realize that His Torah resonates with something in our hearts, then that is a strong indication that our ancestors actually stood with us at Mount Sinai:

to confirm you this day as his people, that he may be your G-d as he promised you and as he swore to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. I am making this covenant, with its oath, not only with you Deu 29:13-14

G-d has chosen a people. He sees where they are. He guards it like the apple of His eye.

But it is tied to His Torah and His land. These are necessary in order to come to full fruition.

 

[timothyu]

Agreed, but was it not Judah that broke away from Israel?

 

[Benaiah468]

Agreed, but was it not Judah that broke away from Israel?

In what way? And what makes the difference?

Both houses have broken their marriage vows.

Israel was worse off than Judah. G-d gave the northern kingdom a letter of divorce and sent it away (Jer 3:8; Hos 2:2), calling it merciless ( Loruhamah) and not my people (Loammi) (Hos 1:8-9), and it (ten tribes) assimilated into the pagan nations (Hos 7:8; 8:8; 9:17; 2 Kgs 17:23-24).

Judah also deserved a divorce, but G-d did not want it because He had made a promise to David (Hos 1:7; 1 Kgs 11:32).

 

[timothyu]

In what way? And what makes the difference?

It divided the land of Israel. Jesus said He came to reunite them. When he said he was sending His disciples out to all nations, He was referring to the 12. The first person he revealed Himself as was to a woman and not a Jew. It seems that then and today Judah still needs to get over itself, both with its blood steps and it's own brothers, this attempt a reunion before any notion of a messiah returning to set them straight. Jesus, a Jew, tried to set the example. Judah today calls itself Israel but not in truth when it still rejects the rest of the Hebrew clan. It would seem Jesus came to save the tribe of Judah from itself.

 

[Yusuphhai]

Acts 10:15 And the voice spake unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common.In the visions seen by the Apostle Peter, God did not change the kind of living creatures, but purified them. This was a completely new thing for Peter. This creates a logical paradox. Foreign believers can join Abraham's Seed kingdom through their faith in Abraham's Seed (Yeshua) without changing their own ethnicity. Have these foreign believers joined the nation of Israel? From the perspective of general ethnology, it is generally not the case. Ephesians 2:12 That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world. From a spiritual perspective, if the foreign believers are within the Federation of Israel, then the name 'Israel' (a new person) will have a new meaning. This new meaning will challenge both the interpretive models of Judaism and Christianity.

Are Ephraim and Judah still the same Nation? Do foreign believers have an obligation to join the Ephraim "Nation"? It depends on the individual's perspective on understanding the Bible. In general, foreign believers do not need to become one of the ten lost tribes of the North unless they have that desire and call.

 

[Benaiah468]

It divided the land of Israel. Jesus said He came to reunite them. When he said he was sending His disciples out to all nations, He was referring to the 12. The first person he revealed Himself as was to a woman and not a Jew. It seems that then and today Judah still needs to get over itself, both with its blood steps and it's own brothers, this attempt a reunion before any notion of a messiah returning to set them straight. Jesus, a Jew, tried to set the example. Judah today calls itself Israel but not in truth when it still rejects the rest of the Hebrew clan. It would seem Jesus came to save the tribe of Judah from itself.

There are still many issues that need to be resolved for reunification. Ephraim and Judah must become one again by taking steps towards each other and opening their eyes and hearts to the other!

In doing so, we realize that we as the house of Joseph are responsible for our behaviour (and therefore also for what you and I do personally). We cannot determine how our brother Judah should behave. Instead, we take care of ourselves. Because we are not in a position to dictate to Judah.

Our Father will open doors (and He has already done so in many places!) and touch the hearts of the Jews for Ephraim. But we need a humble heart. Otherwise we won't get very far. I even believe that if we are not willing to take such steps (humility and without demanding anything), we cannot (actively) participate in these processes!

Ephraim's task will be to remember the Torah. To return to His ways. Only then is the unification of all 12 tribes possible. This applies not only with regard to Judah (unification of Jews and Christians), but also with regard to the more than 10,000 different denominations among whom unity is not possible otherwise (unity of Christians is only possible through the Torah).

 

[Benaiah468]

It is not only history that makes this clear, the Bible also describes how three things are supposed to be inseparably linked:

The people of Israel,
the Torah and
the land of Israel.

G-d intended it that way. And if one of them is missing, if this bond is incomplete, then this has consequences.

This part is about the Torah.

In the first part, we saw how G-d chose a people not only to show His greatness, glory and power, but also to bring His light into the world.

G-d wanted His people to be a holy people. But how does a people become holy? By living holy lives. A holy people is set apart from all other peoples. And it needs a lifestyle that expresses this.

This is described in the Torah. For there we see how very specific demands are linked to the term holy. For example:

And ye shall be holy men unto me: neither shall ye eat any flesh that is torn of beasts in the field; ye shall cast it to the dogs. Ex 22:31

For I am the Lord your G-d: ye shall therefore sanctify yourselves, and ye shall be holy; for I am holy: neither shall ye defile yourselves with any manner of creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. Lev 11:44

Ye shall therefore put difference between clean beasts and unclean, and between unclean fowls and clean: and ye shall not make your souls abominable by beast, or by fowl, or by any manner of living thing that creepeth on the ground, which I have separated from you as unclean. And ye shall be holy unto me: for I the Lord am holy, and have severed you from other people, that ye should be mine. Lev 20:25-26

The Torah is not just a collection of commandments and laws. Nor are they simple wisdoms.

The Torah is perfect. Living by it corresponds to a perfect lifestyle. You could also say a holy lifestyle:

The statutes [hebr. Torah] of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes. Ps 19:8

It is no coincidence that Jesus said that he would not change a single stroke of it (Mt 5:18). He lived by these perfect rules, but not so that others would not have to live that way afterwards. That makes no sense. He did not fulfill it, but taught it so that many would follow this example.

With this understanding, of course, it makes no sense to believe that Jesus has freed us from the law. If the goal is to live holy, then we will find the right instructions there.

The requirement of holiness has not changed. And therefore neither has the Torah.

The reactions to such statements are often similar: What, we're supposed to live according to the rules from the Old Testament? There are so many strange things in there...

But this view is not new. Even the former Northern Kingdom of Israel (also the House of Joseph) thought this way:

I have written to him the great things of my law, but they were counted as a strange thing. Hos 8:12

The ten tribes in the northern kingdom of Israel (which existed for a few centuries after King Solomon and was then scattered throughout the world) perceived the Torah as something foreign. They could do nothing with it.

And it is the same for most Christians today.

In the first part of this series, we saw that Christianity is closely linked to the chosen people of Israel. However, in a completely different way than we have been taught over the centuries.

It is about the lost tribes of Israel. They are scattered all over the world and especially among the Christians. And so it is no wonder that the same attitudes (e.g. regarding the Torah) can be heard again today.

This knowledge about the lost tribes was hidden for many centuries. In particular, there was no connection to Jesus' mission.

However, it is important to know about this concept of the divided kingdom of Israel in order to understand why hundreds of thousands of believers are suddenly drawn to the Shabbat and the Torah.

This raises a crucial question: why should such a “new” teaching be right now? Why didn't people come to this conclusion in earlier years?

The answer is astonishing but simple: it was a punishment!

G-d did not allow the ten tribes to recognize the truth because they had to serve a period of punishment. It was a very long time. 2,730 years to be precise.

Ezekiel had announced it at the time (Ez 4): 390 years for the Torah-less life of the people. This was then multiplied sevenfold (according to the rules of the Torah, cf. Lev 26:18ff) because no repentance took place:

7 * 390 years = 2,730 years.

Quite a long time. But the sins had probably piled up. It was necessary.

And we can also see from this how G-d's Torah is valid and true. For G-d had announced this punishment.

And the Lord shall scatter thee among all people, from the one end of the earth even unto the other; and there thou shalt serve other g-ds, which neither thou nor thy fathers have known, even [G-ds from] wood and stone. Deu 28:64

And if ye will not yet for all this hearken unto me, then I will punish you seven times more for your sins. Lev 26:18

Because the Northern Kingdom remained in its sins, the Holy Land “spat” them out and they were scattered (over the centuries) all over the world.

It is the principle of blessing and curse that the Torah describes very impressively. And so we understand that living with or without the Torah has very practical implications.

We should understand at this point how important the Torah is linked to the people. The ten tribes of the northern kingdom of Israel were guilty of serious sins (sin = transgression of the Torah). They worshipped other gods. They even sacrificed their own children to them.

The punishment for this Torah-lessness (the Bible often writes lawlessness!) was to be scattered throughout the world. There they lost their identity. But Jesus came to bring the tribes back.

But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. Mt 15:24

What does this have to do with the Torah? Well a core message of Yeshua was repentance, right?

And now we understand the connection. We have the chance - whether actual descendants of the tribes or not - to come back into His covenant. This covenant was and is inextricably linked to the Torah.

We repent for not having lived according to the Torah. And instead, we are now beginning to live according to the Torah.

Nothing about the Torah has changed. It is unchangeable.

This whole process is logical - but it costs a lot: Humble hearts. Repentance. A break with sin. A changed lifestyle.

And the story of the prodigal son expresses better than anything else which attitude is appropriate: humility! We come back to the Father's house. We are not worthy to be welcomed back as a son. And yet it happens.

But where do we come from?

The parable describes the two houses of Israel - the house of Judah and the house of Joseph. The prodigal son, the house of Joseph (the ten lost tribes), comes back to the father's house from the very bottom.

The son was with the pigs (!) and is now to find holiness again (in the father's house).

It is no coincidence that the prodigal son was with the pigs of all people. They are very, very low on the holiness scale.

But now that we are back, we have to get rid of old behaviors, bad habits, bad habits, etc. G-d desires a holy people.

And this holy lifestyle is described by the Torah.

Jesus brings us back and the Spirit of G-d writes the Torah on our hearts (cf. Ez 36:27). So now we are challenged.

From life with the pigs back to a holy lifestyle... You can imagine that there is a lot of work waiting for us.

These are truly special times!

 

[timothyu]

I even believe that if we are not willing to take such steps (humility and without demanding anything), we cannot (actively) participate in these processes!

Logical yes, as it would be useless to act in the same ways as a yet unrepentant Judah.

 

[timothyu]

But now that we are back, we have to get rid of old behaviors, bad habits, bad habits, etc. G-d desires a holy people.

And this holy lifestyle is described by the Torah.

Which was Jesus' Gospel of the Kingdom, something later rejected by Gentile Christianity when it eventually aligned itself with the world of man instead, whoring itself as a tool of the Empire, where those blind lead the generational blind until this day. Until THAT gospel is preached throughout the world (as Jesus said), those 'behaviors, bad habits, etc.' will remain.

The Middle East、East Asia and Globalization Factors in Jewish&Western Relations

Will Samaritans lean more towards Jews or Gentiles? To what extent did the Samaritans inherit Torah? Jesus himself spent a lot of energy in Samaria. Jesus and the early church also emphasized the intermediary and buffering role of Samaria between Jerusalem and the ends of the earth. If the relationship between Jews and the West is tense, which side does the Middle Eastern Christian Church stand on? From a national perspective, the Shem ethnic group has a tacit understanding of unity, because the Lord God of Shem should be praised. If the physical descendants of the Abrahamic lineage unite in truth, it is very powerful in theology. The Japheth can only live in Shem's spiritual tent, as the Japheth cannot produce a monotheistic religion with spiritual significance. How can the theology of Japheth defeat the theology of Shem ?

Of course, Noah's blessing to Shem and Japheth emphasizes their cooperation. For the spiritual desert region East Asia (the ends of the earth) , there has been almost no concept of monotheism in history. Confronting such ignorance, the Jewish, Middle Eastern, and Western who have faith in Jesus will cooperate, proving that if East Asia does not learn the monotheistic religion of the Bible, there will be no future.

If East Asians discover that their nations are lawless and will have no way out ,they will long to establish the Torah's laws and faith in Jesus. East Asia also has a tacit understanding of cultural identity. If this tacit understanding is not based on deceit and lies, but on a shared acceptance of truth, it will become a blessing for the world.

Israel has reignited its war against Hamas in the Gaza Strip. The concern we have is that Israeli officials say Israel's goal is to pressure Hamas to negotiate the release of hostages, while not understanding that God's goal is the total destruction of Hamas.

Abba Father, use this current phase of the war to make it a necessity for Israel to retake full possession of the entire Gaza Strip (Zep 2:5-7; Ob 1:17b).

G-d, forbid that this war should cease until it is absolutely Your time for this to happen (Ps 46:10).

Since Hamas still seems to control large parts of Gaza, Lord, fulfill Deu 33:27-29.

Lord over all, reveal whether the demonstrations of Gaza residents against Hamas are real or just another deception, as many Israelis seem to believe (Hi 12:16; 2 Tim 3:3).

Almighty G-d, renew the strength, courage and motivation of the IDF troops there (Isa 40:28-31).

Since the number of reservists going to battle is much smaller than after Oct. 7, we remind You, Lord, that You reduced Gideon's fighters so that You alone would receive the glory (Jdg. 7:2).

We thank You that not a single member of the IDF has been killed since the re-entry into Gaza.

Lord, miraculously protect the hostages during the fighting and set them free (Ps 91:3-4; 124:7-8).

Abba, grant Israel Your wisdom as it makes plans to facilitate the voluntary departure of Gaza residents in the near future (Isa 60:12; Jer 12:17).

 

[Benaiah468]

If we are to pray in agreement with G-d for His will to be done today, we need to understand how He is preparing the way for His Son's return. And that centers on the restoration of Israel and its place in His end-time plans (Zec 12:1-10; 14:1-4; Mt 23:39). But to know that, you have to know all of His Word - starting with Genesis.

Lord Jesus, rebuke the believers who still today reject the Tanakh as Your Word (Lk 24:25-27).

Divine Physician, heal the body of its biblical anorexia and prophetic illiteracy by instilling in it a hunger for Your whole Word (Jer 15:16; Am 8:11; Acts 20:32; 2 Tim 2:15; Heb 5:13-14).

King Messiah, give Your body elders who teach and preach from the whole Word (Acts 20:27) and are not afraid to proclaim Your eternal love for Israel (Deu 7:6-8; Jer 31:35-37).

Abba, since Israel is the pupil of Your eye, let the faithful see the full effect of it, namely that You see the world through Israel (Zec 2:8b)!

Lord, reveal to Your body also that the replanting of Israel into their land is the one thing - in all Your Word - that You said You would do with all Your heart and soul (Jer 32:41)!

Jesus Messiah, please drive the replacement theory out of the body (Eph 5:27; 1 Tim 4:1), and take with it all attitudes of hatred toward Jews and Israel (Gen 18:18; 22:18; John 4:22; Rom 9:1-5).

Let the believers ask you how they should “provoke the Jewish people to jealousy” (Rom 11:11).
