Shalom Partner and Friend of Israel,

Have you noticed that there is growing discomfort with the increasingly blurred line between "political" against the "spiritual" especially when World Leaders begin to drift into territory that belongs only to Christ and His Church? Have you also noticed how the World has turned against Jews and Christians? The unbelieiving anti-God world not only attacks through Antisemitism …BUT also the Bible the TRUE Word of God. They blatantly lie and use deception to their followers. Yahweh God has not changed and everything that they sow …the Bible says so shall they also reap! We must know the TRUTH and share the truth always! Today we seeing Matthew 24 ; Luke 21 coming to pass and are that generation living in " the Days of Noah" just as our Lord predicted it would be like in the Last Days! We must always love what God loves and hate what God hates! We must NOT be fooled by the world Media, Leaders and be deceived unbelievers! We MUST stand with and support Israel against all odds!

The Biblical warning to World Leaders, Rulers and those in power is clear… unchecked PRIDE in positions of POWER can lead even the greatest of Rulers into humiliation and correction. Nebuchadnezzar is an example; "While the words were still in his mouth, a voice fell from heaven: 'O King Nebuchadnezzar... the kingdom has departed from you... you shall be driven from among men... until you know that the Most High rules the kingdom of men and gives it to whom he will'" - Daniel 4:29-31.

Nebuchadnezzar's downfall did NOT begin with a single act …it began with a posture of pride of the heart! When Nebuchadnezzar built his "golden image" in Babylon had commanded every person in the province to bow, the Bible says that at the sound of the music, ALL the peoples, nations, and languages fell down and worshipped. All of them! They bowed anyway, deciding that survival was more important than conviction, trusting that God would understand and that this was not worth dying for! BUT Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego …whose Hebrew Names were; Hananiah (God is gracious), Mishael (Who is what God is), and Azariah (God has helped) refused to bow! When brought before the king, he gave them one more chance. He asked directly, "Who is the God that will deliver you from my hands?" What they said next is the most psychologically devastating statement of faith in the entire Old Testament. "Our God is able to deliver us. He will deliver us. But if not, be it known to you, O king, we will not serve your gods." And with only that, they looked at the fire and said: "Even if He does not, we will NOT bow." They did not care whether they would be delivered or not. Their relationship with God had gone past "answers to prayers." It was personal, deep and intentional.

Yahweh God's faithfulness was NOT on trial …their worship was! The three Hebrew boys had already decided, before the king asked …before the FIRE was heated …before any of it …that their answer would NOT change, NO matter what God chose to do. The fire came for them, and they stood because they had already settled that God's character is worth upholding even when His Hand was NOT visible. Worship is not a transaction. The God who does not deliver is still gracious …still unlike anything else …still the God who has helped. God did show up! He always does!. But He showed up after they had already proven that showing up was not the condition for loving and trusting Him. Whether God showed up or not …they didn't care as it did NOT affect their love and honour for God. That is what broke Nebuchadnezzar! It was NOT the “miracle”  …but the young men who made the miracle unnecessary to their decision!

You see we are NOT called to obey wicked Leaders we are called to OBEY and honour God… And Scripture further warns tnat; "Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall" - Proverbs 16:18. God is NOT mocked; "For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted" - Luke 14:11. And that, perhaps, is the lesson that still echoes across Centuries for every powerful person who forgets where ALL Authority comes from - God. Those Leaders who have taken Israel to the ICJ Courts accusing them OF A GENOCIDE …while Israel did NOT start the war …but instead is protecting their land and people FROM A GENOCIDE! It’s a reminder that God sees ALL those who promote hatred, racism, anti-Semitism, murders, corruption, theft and are prideful! This is NOT only anti-God when attacking Israel or the Church …as both Israel and the Church was birthed by God! You see, it may seem like the wicked are getting away with what they doing …BUT God  WILL deal with them in this lifetime or beyond!

God’s Promise has NOT changed! “I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse those who curse you.” -Genesis 12:3. That was NOT a suggestion - it was a Covenant… Supporting Israel and the Jewish people isn’t “political” …it’s obedience! The Bible was written by Jews. Yeshua (Jesus) is Jewish. The Apostles were Jewish! The Church was birthed in Jerusalem 2,000-years ago on Shavuot (Pentecost). We can NOT say we love the ROOT and hate the TREE!  If we claim the Name of Christ yet cheer the Mullahs in Iran with their proxies Hamas and Hezbollah sending rockets into Israel, spreading blood libels …OR march with Antisemites …OR call for Israel’s destruction …then we are NOT a Judea-Christian we do NOT believe God’s Word or Prophecy.

Christianity began as a Jewish messianic movement, NOT as a Roman religion… Yeshua (Jesus) was Jewish clearly the earliest Christianity was “in fact a movement within Judaism.” The label “Christian” came later, and the faith’s earliest form was still rooted in Israel’s Scriptures - Israel’s Messiah …and a Jewish way of life. The original community did NOT begin as the Empire-friendly, anti-Torah system people now call “mainstream Christianity.” That developed over time as the movement spread into the Gentile world and became increasingly separated from its Jewish roots.  Rome got its hands on it. Constantine hijacked its public form... He fused Church and Empire in a way that radically changed Christianity’s relationship to “political power.” Constantine completely altered the relationship between the early Church and the “imperial government,” which is exactly why the faith started looking less like a Jewish Messianic movement …and became more like an “imperial institution” in his time.  (Britannica)

Replacement Theology is a counterfeit lie that has ripped the Old Testament out of our Bibles… Those who follow such teachings have CURSED the Jewish people who are the very people God swore to protect! They have sided with the “spirit of Antichrist.” Real FAITH doesn’t pick and choose which parts of Scripture …it obeys! It is NOT based upon lies, Social Media and Liberal Leaders, trends or campus mobs, etc. True Judea-Christians believers bless what God blesses - stand where God stands …and love the Jewish people because God does! Our Lord and Saviour does …and they are His brethren! Is Israel innocent and without sin? No! BUT neither are we! We should NOT be dictated to by unbelievers! God’s Word – the Bible is our source! Bless Israel - Pray for her - Stand with her. Speak well of her!

Why loving and supporting Israel WILL Restore and bless us? There are “Spiritual Laws” that govern Nations and men alike. There are Ancient Covenants that have NOT expired with time, NOR weakened with modern skepticism. Among them stands one immovable decree; “how you respond to Israel determines how heaven responds to you!” This is NOT sentiment - it is God.s Covenant architecture.

Now let’s examine further together:..

1. The Abrahamic Blessing Still Stands; “I will bless them that bless you (Israel), and curse him that curses you (Israel),…” - Genesis 12:3. This is NOT poetic language …it is a legal pronouncement in the courts of Heaven. Every individual, Ministry, and Nation - that aligns itself with Israel taps into a pre-established “blessing” pipeline. History confirms it: Nations that stood with Israel prospered; those who opposed her declined! The blessing is transferable but only through alignment. When South Africa stood with Israel the Nation was blessed and a first world country but after 1994 the new and current government withdrew and began supporting terrorst Nations who hate Israel and so the Nation fell into chaos and destruction!

2. Israel is God’s Prophetic Timepiece… Israel is NOT just land …it is "a living CLOCK" From the re-birth of Israel 0n 14 May 1948 …to the reclamation of Jerusalem in 1967…Prophecy has unfolded with surgical precision and it is speeding up in tthese Last Days! To love Israel is to synchronize ourselves with God’s Timeline! And, when we align ourselves with God’s Biblical Calendar, we stop living in delay and restoration accelerates as we recognize it’s fulfilment! To support Israel, we must recognize that this is more than a suggestion …it is God’s Command to stand by His people! By participating in this "Divine mission," we are agreeing with God’s heart. This call is a wonderful reminder that we are part of His great story of redemption and love. Together, we can encourage others to join us in lifting Israel up …in prayer and financial support, standing firm in faith with our brothers and sisters in Israel who re fighting a WAR of survival! "Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: May those who love you (Israel) be secure." – Psalm 122:6

3 The Root Sustains the Branch… "But if you do boast, remember that you do NOT support the ROOT but the root supports you! — Romans 11:18. Many desire "spiritual power" …while despising the ROOT that carries it. Israel is that root. The Covenants, the Pprophets, the Messiah …all emerge from her soil. To dishonor Israel is to disconnect from the source. To love Israel is to reconnect to "Divine" supply. And yes, restoration begins at the "root level." Even what is "dead" begins to live again.

4. Economic and National prosperity follows alignment

…look at Nations that have blessed Israel how they lead in Technology, Finance, and Global influence! And even agricultural breakthroughs have followed. This is NOT just coincidence! It is God’s Covenant Economics! Blessing Israel is NOT charity  …it is "strategic alignment" with God’s "Divine" favour.

5. Spiritual Authority is released through honour… There is a difference between "prayer" and "authorized prayer." When we honour what God honours- our voice carries weight. Loving Israel positions us within God’s "priority system," …and suddenly our decrees are NOT just words …they are backed by Heaven!. This is why some pray and nothing moves …while others whisper and Nations shift.

6. Restoration includes "visible" and the "invisible!" God does not restore partially; "I (God) will restore to you the years that the locust has eaten…" - Joel 2:25. Finances, opportunities, relationships and even physically we are subject to restoration and when divine favour flows, decay reverses. Alignment with Israel repositions us under God’s promise  of restoration.

7. We align ourselves with the Messiah Himself… Yeshua (Jesus) is NOT detached from Israel - He is the Lion of the Tribe of Judah. To love Israel is to love the Covenant environment that produced the Messiah BUT to reject Israel while claiming Christ is a wrong contradiction. So when we embrace Israel, we step deeper into the reality of Christ …not just as Saviour, but as King within His Covenant Kingdom. Someday He WILL return to Jerusalem and set up His Millenium Kingdom and we want to be there!

8. We are living in Last Days and God is watching how Nations and people are treating His Covenant people and Land of Israel… God has already determined that Nations will be judged based on how they treat Israel. As the world moves closer to the Tribulation, hostility toward the Jewish people will intensify …and the removal of the "Restrainer" (the Holy Spirit and Church) at the Rapture will unleash unprecedented evil such as the World has NEVER seen! Throughout history, many Nations have stood against Israel, and this can be found in various stories and verses in the Bible. These Scriptures offer insights into how God sees Israel and the consequences that come when Nations and individuals oppose His chosen people!

“And on that day I will seek to destroy ALL the nations that come against Jerusalem.” – Zechariah 12:9. This verse asserts God’s commitment to defend Jerusalem. He will actively oppose those who challenge it, showing His favour towards Israel. We can take comfort that God intervenes in the affairs of Nations that rise against His chosen people – Israel! “For the nation or kingdom that will not serve you will perish; it will be utterly ruined.” – Isaiah 60:12. This passage WARNS Nations that fail to support Israel. Their downfall is a direct consequence of their actions against God’s people. It encourages us to stand with those God has chosen, leading to blessings, NOT destruction. “The day of the LORD is near for all nations. As you have done, it will be done to you; your deeds will return upon your own head.” – Obadiah 1:15.

This verse reinforces the fact that Israel is “the apple of God’s eyes.” Nations that harm Israel WILL face their own consequences. It encourages us to remember that our actions have repercussions, making it crucial to support peace and harmony and to BLESS Israel!

Where are we on God’s Biblical Calendar… April - May 2026? We are in the period of "counting the OMER!" Did you know that Passover "First-fruits" - the 2nd day (3 April) began the 1st day’s countdown of the 50 days of the OMER! And on the 50th day Shavuot – Pentecost begins this year on the evening of 21-23 May 2026.

Now let’s talk about the Counting of the Omer… What is the counting of the Omer? Well, we have to go back all the way up to Leviticus 23:15 to find out what the instruction is that Yahweh - God gave before we can find the Prophetic connection in the book of Acts. So, travel with us back in time and it says this, "you shall count for yourselves from the day after the Sabbath, from the day that you brought the sheaf of the wave offering, seven Sabbath shall be completed, Count 50 days to the day after the seventh Sabbath, then you shall offer a new grain offering to the Lord." This is an amazing passage because it finds itself right here in the very chapter of the Bible that gives us all the details of the Feast days on God's calendar, They are ALL about the coming of Christ …and every one of them are speaking about Yeshua (Jesus).

Let ‘s ask ourselves this question? When we hear "first fruits" … what do we actually think it means? A day? A ritual? Or have we missed the framework behind it?  In Scripture, "first fruits" is tied to Israel’s land, the harvest, the Temple and the altar. We don’t separate those! Now think…In the ancient world, everyone understood that; (1) Winter = death and (2) Spring = life! The seed goes into the ground… it "dies" - and then it rises! God takes that reality and gives it Covenant meaning. Here’s the key: We cannot eat from the new grain …until the Omer is presented. First comes the offering and then comes the harvest.

So, inside of the first Spring Feast Days, we've got Yeshua dying on Passover, then He's put in the grave right before the High Sabbath… the first day of Unleavened Bread, which is a seven-day Feast. This is the "first fruits" of the barley harvests which are called "HaBikkurim" in Hebrew. That day was the Feast of "First Fruits." That's the day that the Messiah rose from the dead. That's also the day that they count the first day of the counting of the Omer, counting 50 days, all the way up until in Hebrew what was called Shavuot, and the Greek it is called Pentecost or 50. This is an amazing Commandment of God …because Yeshua raises from the dead NOT only on the "Feast of Firstfruits," where He was Prophesied to raise from the dead …He rose from the dead precisely on the same day, which began the counting down to Pentecost, and nobody knew it at the time, which is also absolutely incredible!

Now let’s read 1 Corinthians 15:20 and we clearly see that Yeshua – the Messiah - the "first fruits" …and that’s Temple language in Ancient Israel. Here we see Paul saying that the "first" has risen and the rest will follow! Then we count 50 days from "First-fruits" and we come to Shavuot – Pentecost …which is the birth of the Church! Nothing is coincidence! This is NOT a moment …it is a process of "harvest" …as the Holy Spirit comes on the day of Pentecost just as promised! It is one message! Life is coming out of death and the HARVEST has begun! If we don’t understand the "Temple" …then we won’t fully understand the message because nothing was just random – it was a pattern!,Maybe this is also an invitation for us!  What feels buried in our lives may actually be in the hands of God, being prepared for something greater, because the same God who brings the harvest is still bringing life where we least expect it!

Just like TWO parallel tracks of train tracks that are coming and they're moving towards us… One from Ancient Egypt and the first Passover and Pentecost …and the second one 2,000 Years ago in the year that Yeshua (Jesus) died and rose from the dead on that Passover as well as the coming of the Holy Spirt and birth of Church on Pentecost. The parallels are striking. There's something unbelievable for us to learn here! So, when we go back in time to the original Exodus, what we discover are two parts. We discovered that the Egyptians held Israel in bondage and in slavery. There was an extraordinarily difficult time of 10 plagues. Remember that number 10, that's going to be important. There were 10 plagues that brought them out of Egypt! Then 50 days later traditionally, they come before Mount Sinai. God himself says, "On the third day, Moses, tell the people on the third day, I'm going to reveal myself to them".- Exodus 19:11. How incredible is that? That God said, "On the third day, I'm going to reveal myself in person" …and Yeshua died, and on the third day revealed Himself

All right, there we go… did you get that? There's some patterns and connections happening already! In Egypt, the first thing that we've got is we've got a Passover, and a Covenant that is made. And then 50 days later is the Feast of Shavuot - Pentecost. In the Commandments of God, "the Torah" (Old Testament; Gensis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy) was given and the instruction manual was given! The Israelites were so excited about this, because they were the ONLY people group in theentire history of the world, that the God that they served and worshiped, gave them an instruction manual. No other God did that!

What we want to show you here is this… there was a time period from Passover where things were very difficult!. The Israelites were chased by Egyptians all the way through the Red Sea! Then they are “mikvahed” …and immersed …or today the language would be “baptized” in water …or like a baby that is coming through the mother's birth canal and there is water, there is birth through water! So, the Israelites are being birthed as a NEW people! And here's what's really incredible, they're not new, they are being renewed! Tthis is a Prophetic connection to the New Testament and the New Covenant! It is NOT brand spanking new as if NO part of it ever existed before! It is simply re-newed from a framework that existed that was perfect in the past …but it was because of the people that broke it - that God had to make some re-arrangements. And that's exactly what happened in the Old Testament with the people of Israel. They came and they were re-newed through the WATER of the Word,

They came out on the other side,of Egypt and now into the Promised Land and so the Israelites stood before God… And God said that He was going to make them a royal priesthood, a kingdom of priests, kings and priests (Exodus 19:6). They were NOT supposed to have a king. It was at this point in time that all 12 tribes of Israel were going to be kings and priests. But because Moses was up on the mountain for too long, and they had NO idea when he was coming back, they decided to make a “molten image” of a “golden calf” to replace Moses as the mediator. And they were worshipping God through this mediator of the “golden calf”  …just like they had learned in Egypt! God looked down and said, NO this is idolatry. And because of it, he literally pulled the priesthood away from all 12 tribes and gave it to one single tribe and we know what that tribe is - the tribe of Levi. Then they were given a king not too long after that!

And so, at the end of the day, God's “original plan” to give the Holy Spirit on Mount Sinai, along with the truth didn't happen… So, 1400 years later to the day, this is what happened. God gave the 10 commandments and the Torah on Mount Sinai on Shabbat the first time! And then 2,000-Years ago the Messiah Yeshua (Jesus) rose from the dead on Passover-  50 days later comes the Feast of Shavuot – Pentecost!

Yahweh God did NOT begin by giving laws to earn deliverance at Mount Sinai... He begins by reminding them of what He has already done. “You yourselves have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles’ wings and brought you to Myself” - Exodus 19:4. The order matters as deliverance comes first and relationship is established. Then covenant is spoken; “If you will indeed obey My voice and keep My covenant…” - Exodus 19:5. This was NOT a contract offered to strangers it was extended to a people who have already been redeemed. God did not say, “Obey Me so that I will bring you out of Egypt.” He said, in effect, “I brought you out - now walk with Me.” A Covenant is NOT the condition for rescue …it is the structure of life after rescue!. At Mount Sinai, God was not simply giving instructions …He was defining identity.! This means that what began at Mount Sinai was NOT erased …it is carried forward into fullness. The same Yahweh, the same Covenantal structure …the same call to be a people who reflect Him remains! The difference is that through Yeshua (Jesus), the ability to walk in that Covenant  is empowered from within.

A contract tells us what we must do to maintain an agreement. A covenant tells us who we are and how we now live because of that identity! Ancient Israel understood  this! They accepted the relationship and the identity that comes with it. And, yes it is the equivalent of “I do" …for the Bride – Israel. It is relational faithfulness expressed in how one lives in response to the ONE they belong to. Our Lord Yeshua (Jesus) said; “If you love Me, you will keep My commandments.”  - John 14:15. As believers our relationship with God …is what was external becomes internal. What was written on stone at Mount Sinai …begins to be written into the very nature of the God’s people Jew and Gentile believers; “I will put My law within them, and I will write it on their hearts.” - Jeremiah 31:33.  God has NEVER abandoned Israel ands NEVER will …AND NEITHER SHOULD WE!

Everything leading up to this moment from Mount Sinai to NOW begins to align…. The “blood of Passover - the crossing through water - the cleansing in the wilderness -The provision of bread and the formation of order that mirrors the pattern of preparation for thousands of years leading up to the New Covenant and First Coming of Yeshua Jesus Christ! Romans 11 makes it plain that Israel’s setting aside is NOT final. Blindness in part has happened to Israel UNTIL “ the fulness of the Gentiles” be come in. God has NOT canceled His promises …and He has NOT rewritten His Covenants … and He has NOT replaced the Nation of Israel with something else. The same God who judged Israel …also promised restoration, re-gathering, and a future kingdom under Messiah Yeshua.

And Prophetically, it reminds us to keep our eyes on Israel, because the “FIG tree” is still standing in the storyline of God. Mark 11 was NOT random. Matthew 24 was NOT random …AND yes, Israel turns 78 years in May this year 2026 …and so 14 May 1948 when Israel was re-born as a Nation was NOT random!

At Sinai, when God established  His covenant with Israel,  Moses took the blood  of sacrificed animals and sprinkled it on the people, saying; “Behold the blood of the covenant that the Lord has made with you” - Exodus 24:8. BLOOD marked the Covenant. It signified that the relationship was not casual or temporary. It was established at cost! During the FINAL meal, when Yeshua (Jesus) took the cup, He spoke words that would later be repeated by the early Church and preserved across the Gospels and Communion tables 2,000 years later; “This cup that is poured out for you is the new covenant in my blood” - Luke 22:20.

That background matters when Yeshua (Jesus) takes the cup and speaks of His own blood... He was NOT introducing a completely unfamiliar idea. He was placing His words inside an existing pattern …but He also introduced something different! He did not say, "This is the covenant. He said, "This is the NEW covenant!’  That word "NEW" carries weight. Long before this moment, the prophets had spoken this (Jeremiah 31:31–34). The distinction was NOT that God’s purpose had changed but that the way it would be established differently as the earlier covenant had written on stone BUT would later be written on the hearts of man! At the Last Supper Christ spoke of the CUP as a New Covenant … He connected that Prophetic promise to His own death on Calvary on Passover …and 50-days later the Holy Spirit at Shavuot – Pentecost …and birth of the Church … and bride of Christ. Maranatha Yeshua – your bride is waiting.!

We most sincerely believe that God WILL bless you for your faithfulness and love for His land and chosen people. God’s Word is true! He IS watching to see how the Nations are treating His people. God will have mercy on Israel through Gentile believers acting as mediators towards them. This is one of the most amazing revelations ever given to the Church – an opportunity to do something that carries the highest priority in the heart of God. Yet, sadly, so few have seen the potential and the rewards of serving God in this manner - as agents of mercy to Israel and the Jewish people! Israel was and still is despised today and a despised Nation continually turning away from God …BUT nothing ever altered the purpose of God for that Nation. The "despised element" is always a noticeable element in the purpose of God. When the Saviour of the world came, He came of that "despised Nation" (and just like Israel) He Himself was "…despised and rejected by men." And there is that despised element; "…things that are despised God has chosen," - 1 Corinthians 1:28.

We hope that you enjoy and become more informed by our work. We serve an awesome God and we are humbled by this opportunity to bring you this information.

With Shalom to you and your family always,
