Christians have long known God as the God of grace, mercy and love, as have the Jews since Moses interceded for his rebellious nation and God appeared to him as ‘The Lord, the Lord God, compassionate and gracious, slow to anger…

And You Shall Love The Lord – ואהבת את יהוה
Mark 12:29-30 is a very familiar verse to most Christians and often quoted. Did you realise that Jesus was quoting the first two verses of the Shema which was an integral part of daily prayer then—and now?
The Lord Is One
When the Shema is recited by the Jewish people (and Christians), it begins with this statement: Hear, O Israel, the Lord is our God, the Lord is one. (Deuteronomy 6:4) Pronouncing God’s name YHWH is considered a sin, so the Jewish people use other words to replace...
The Same Palestinian Narrative Continues: “Either us or the Zionists”
September 2018 marks twenty-five years since Oslo and that famous handshake on the White House lawn by Prime Minister Rabin and Chairman Arafat under the patronage of President Bill Clinton. And a lot will be written about this anniversary. The one undeniable truth over this period has been the disenchantment of those who supported Oslo and who had believed that finally the Palestinians were going to reverse their original mantra as expressed in 1921 by the Palestine Arab Executive Committee when they said: “Either us or the Zionists. There is no room for both.” Those in Israel who still support the principles of Oslo and yearn for a Two State solution, understand where the fault lies for it not yet occurring. AB Yehoshua who was at one time on the Meretz list running for the Knesset, said in an interview in Ha’artez that: “Yasser Arafat first misled the world when he said he wanted a secular, pluralistic and democratic state and then trampled the Oslo Accords with terror attacks.” Yehoshua also blamed Arafat’s successor, Mahmoud Abbas, for “rejecting Israel’s land-for-peace offer in 2008”. Einat Wilf a former Labour MK, in a recently published book says that her party’s assumption in […]

Included is a demographic snapshot of the Holy Land in the 19th century. What historical records are there of a Palestinian Arab nation whose capital city was Jerusalem? We look at the roots of the modern Zionist movement, a detailed look at the Balfour Declaration and the Paris Peace Conference – and the relatively unknown agreement forged by Arab and Jewish leaders over their territorial […]
End Time Revival: Ruth Hearts, Ruth Nations – An Awakening
Ruth clung to Naomi, saying: “Entreat me not to leave you, or to turn back from following after you; where you go, I will go…” (Ruth 1:14-16) “In those days ten men from every language of the nations shall cling to the sleeve of a Jewish man, saying, ‘Let us go with you, for we have heard that God is with you.’” – Zechariah 8:23 Swathes of expectant Evangelicals are waiting to see—originating in their nations and sweeping all the way to Jerusalem to herald a coming King— a great End Times revival. But what if the groundwork for that revival is already being laid? What if its first signs have been evident, have been coming sharply into focus, for quite some time? What if these Christians are not looking in the right direction? Unless they are, it could take them completely unawares; even pass them by. Have they considered that this revival may go, not from their nations, but rather—as blessing does—to their nations, out of Israel? Do they at all comprehend that the power source for this last great move of God—into which we need to be plugged if we are to be a part of it—is God’s […]
