Shalom Partner and Friend of Israel,

There can be NO doubt that we are living in Last Days. Just take a look at how corrupt the media has become. The news is full of Bible Prophecy fulfilling events and yet many are not seeing them! There are so many things happening in this world today of which we have never seen before! Major events are taking place more and more frequently and with more intensity. Take a look at how society has become godless, lawless and disrespectful and with many “signs” in front of us that prove we are living just before the Second Coming of Yeshua - Jesus Christ. Agents of evil are combining their forces, consolidating and strengthening for the "Last Day" great crisis. Changes across the world have taken place and have escalated at a pace that we are hardly able to keep up with and many more are soon to take place in our world. The final movements will be rapid ones and the condition of things in the world today shows that ominous and difficult times are right upon us!  Many may say; “Alf and Julie are negative?” No! We are in fact positive …as we cannot ignore “Bible Prophecy” - since nobody can stop what God has put into motion! It will happen whether we want it to - or not! With 2018 now closed off into history - as believers we hold on to God …no matter what lies ahead as we move into 2019.

We can be prepared with excitement in these dark evil days as our Lord Yeshua (Jesus) warned us 2,000 years ago what would be taking place in the final generation (Matthew 24; Luke 21) …and we are assured that our “redemption” is drawing near! God will never leave us nor will He forsake us as we draw closer to God’s doorstep! What a wonderful hope we can have!

It's amazing how accurate Bible prophecy is and how right on the mark God's remnant people are, when it comes to interpreting Bible prophecy. Friends, the whole stage is being set ready for the “final events” - of Bible prophecy. Just look around at the lawlessness; anti-God false Liberal Media; anti-Semitism on the rise and the lack of respect for authority! The world is desperately looking for someone to lead it, to bring about (false) “peace” and “stability.” And, Satan (the dragon) is leading the world right into the arms of that “man of sin”, the “'beast” of Revelation 13 whom the world “wonder after” and will “worship” …that 'beast' of Revelation 17 whom the “kings of the earth” will give their power and authority to. We as true believers in Messiah Yeshua (Jesus Christ) are to look up for our redemption are NEAR!

Let’s look at some very “Prophetic” events that took place in 2018!

It is inconceivable how the honest sceptic could deny God’s handiwork in the history of the people of Israel. Bible Prophecy conclusively demonstrates that Israel is God’s witness and an absolute confirmation that God will continue His plan …to fill the earth with His glory as the waters cover the sea! Throughout history the “wandering Jew” has been hated and despised …yet despite the unbelievable persecution they endured, the Jews somehow managed to maintain their identity such that when “God’s time clock” warranted they were able to re-group as a nation in their ancient homeland in 1948.  Indeed, history is packed with once great nations that were eventually over-run and defeated, but whose people were over time absorbed into the culture of the conquering nation. The fact that this did NOT happen to the Jews is nothing short of miraculous!  

Israel marked 70 Years on 14th May, 2018 and “70” is a very prophetic number and year… David Ben-Gurion, who was the first Prime Minister of Israel, publicly read the Declaration of Independence of Israel on May 14, 1948. According to the Jewish calendar, this was the fifth day of Iyar, the eighth month of the civil year, in the year 5708. The anniversary of this date on the Jewish calendar is known as Yom Ha'atzmaut and usually falls in April or May of the Gregorian calendar. Who would have thought only just 70 years ago that the Jewish people would have a country that they could call their own? Only those who read Ezekiel 37! That it what the prophet wrote 2,700 years go! These bones are the people of Israel – God’s people and His promise to take them out of the nations and gather them back to their own land! Word by word the prophecy made by Ezekiel came true. Before 29^th November, 1947 nobody even believed it would come true … yet still in our generation! The nation was born after the horror of the Holocaust - symbolized by the “valley of bones!” Scattered for more than 2,000 years the Jewish people came from the nations from all over the world!

US President Donald Trump BRAVELY defied all odds and critics in a historical and Biblical move… Trump was the only US President to actually follow through with a “campaign promise” made to America. He didn’t just promise to do so …BUT literally signed it into action and the world saw the US Embassy moved from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem …and it happened on a “prophetic day and year;” Israel’s 50th Year of reunification of Jerusalem was on the 24th May, 2017 …but, the move took place on the very day Israel celebrated the 70th Year of Independence!  On 12th May, 1968, the Israeli Government proclaimed a new holiday – “Jerusalem Day” to be celebrated on the 28th of Iyar, the Hebrew date on which the divided city of Jerusalem became one. On the 23rd March, 1998, the Knesset passed the Jerusalem Day Law, making the day a national holiday. Jerusalem Day is an Israeli national holiday commemorating the reunification of Jerusalem in the 1967 Six-Day War marking 50th Year and Fifty is a Jubilee Year Celebration!

“I have known for months that Donald Trump would win the US elections,” Rabbi Berger told Breaking Israel News in November 2016. “The gematria (numerology) is Moshiach (Messiah). He is connected to the Messianic process which is happening right now. When he promised to move the American Embassy to Jerusalem, US President Trump attached himself to the power of Moshiach, which gave him the boost he needed. If you separate from Jerusalem, disaster will follow!” The United States has long been linked to End-Times prophecy. Rabbi Berger sees it no differently; “As the spiritual descendant of the Biblical nation of Edom, America has a very important role to play in the Messiah. But, in order to be suited for that role, America had to be humbled! In order to establish His Kingdom, God had to create confusion, a situation in which the best plans laid by the most powerful people - comes to nothing.” Trump’s role as a herald of the Messiah is also embraced by members of Israel’s parliament, the Knesset; “I hope that he will ascend the Temple Mount, and, from that source of light and energy in the world, lead us in a dialogue of peace and reconciliation,” MP Yehuda Glick and leading figure in the Temple Mount Movement said – (The Advertiser 25^th January 2018.

On 21st July, 2016 during his acceptance speech for the Presidency of the United States, Donald Trump, (then President-elect) made this statement, “The most important difference between our plan and that of our opponents is that our plan will put America first. Americanism, not globalism, will be our credo.” This statement was a “slap in the face” to Globalists and their World Government. Was this the beginning of the separation of America from the New World Order? Many contend that globalization without the US is absurd since every world leader knew that the US will have to be involved in their global governing system for it to be successful. It has been generally believed that the United States will always be part of the One World Government? Not according to Bible prophecy! We believe that America will NOT be a Part of the World Government! In Daniel 7 - Daniel is given a vision of 4 beasts depicting nations that would be on the earth at the time of the Second Coming of Messiah and the Battle of Armageddon; The first is a lion with eagle’s wings, the second is a bear, the third is a four-headed leopard and the fourth beast is an animal unlike anything Daniel had ever seen. However, its main characteristic is that it had ten horns (ten-horned beast). The lion is Great Britain, the eagle’s wings growing out of the lion were plucked and made to stand on the feet as a man and a man’s heart was given to it. The eagle is the United States, Russia is the bear and the four-headed leopard is Germany. The ten-horned beast symbolizes the re-born Holy Roman Empire or the current European Union. The ten horns represent ten nations that will come out of the EU and form an alliance with the Antichrist in the last days. A key point to remember is that in Daniel 7, these four beasts are separate beasts!

Now jump forward 650 years to the time when John wrote the Book of Revelation. These same beasts are mentioned in Revelation 13. However, something is different. All of the beasts are combined into one big beast with the body of a leopard, the feet of a bear, the mouth of a lion and the ten horns of the ten-horned beast. This combined beast represents the World Government that will be established and in control just before the Battle of Armageddon. All of the beasts from Daniel 7 are included in the One World Government coalition beast …except one; the eagle’s wings are missing! Who is the eagle back in Daniel 7? It’s the United States! This tells us that America will NOT be involved in the World Government system during the End-Time. Revelation 12:1-5; describes a woman with twelve stars around her head. The woman gave birth to a child who would rule the entire earth in the future. This woman is the Nation of Israel and the child is Yeshua (Jesus Christ). Revelation 12:7-13 describes a war in Heaven that would occur three and one-half years before the Second Coming of Messiah. This war will result in Satan being cast out of Heaven and banished to the earth. It is at this time when Satan will persecute the woman, which is Israel.

Revelation 12:14 describes the protection of Israel, "And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent." This woman is Israel …and remember - the eagle’s wings represent the United States! Time, times and half a time is the three and one-half years of the Great Tribulation. This Scripture tells us that the United States will protect Israel against the Antichrist and Satan’s - World Governmental system, all the way until the Second Coming of Yeshua (Jesus) and the Battle of Armageddon. If Donald Trump keeps his promises …the above events described in Scripture exactly what will happen during his presidency.

The United Nations is NO friend of Democracy… it’s NOT a friend to freedom …and it’s NOT a friend even to the United States of America where, as you known - it has its home! And, it surely is not a friend to Israel… What was the word’s Trump said before he was elected? "When I become president, the days of treating Israel like a second-class citizen will end on day one." However, those advocates of the Liberal Globalists are not favourable at all to this statement and many others that Donald Trump has made. Make no mistake, Donald Trump is seen as a threat to the Liberal Media and International Community and all it stands for. If you could sum up US President Donald Trump’s in one sentence, it would be this... He is pro-America, pro-Israel and anti-World Government. It is the anti-globalization part that has Globalists shocked and bewildered that Trump actually was elected the 45th president of the United States. You have heard the saying, "When you throw a stone among a pack of dogs, the one who yelps loudest is the one who got hit." Just listen to the fear, confusion and hatred in the voices of the Liberal corrupt Media and Globalists advocates around the world, as they respond to US President Trump’s ideologies on these issues during the presidential campaign and after his election victory. There is one thing we know for sure. Whether it is US President Donald Trump or someone else, the United States will NOT participate in the One-World Government ruled by the Antichrist. We also know that America will stand with Israel all the way to the Second Coming of our Lord and the Battle of Armageddon.

In June 2018 Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan was re-elected …and, was proclaimed the winner of a landmark election that ushers in a government system granting the Turkish President sweeping new powers and which critics say will cement what they call a "one-man rule." This victory for Erdogan gives him the power he has always wanted to be the "Islamic Caliph" that will unite the Muslims and lead them to conquer Jerusalem for Islam. And that is exactly what we were told in Daniel 11:45 concerning - the "king of the north." The old Ottoman Empire is being resurrected by Erdogan, and he has his sights on uniting Islam against the West and taking Jerusalem. Erdogan is secretly working behind the scenes with PLO in (Judah and Samaria) so-called Westbank and Hamas in Gaza …and with Hezbollah in Lebanon against Israel! No surprise that there were attacks on Israel during 2018 when 400 rockets fell on Southern Israel in a single day. Hamas launched an attack on Israel after the US Embassy moved from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. They used this move as an excuse to further their Islamic agenda to "take Israel by force" …and this also began the increasingly destructive "fire bomb attacks" on the Eco System in Southern Israel - burning wheat fields and destroying plant and animal life.  And, we can be assured that it will surely increase in 2019! (Zechariah 12:2-3; 14:2-3) Never before has the alliance been stronger between Turkey, Iran and Russia than it is in our day!

The Sunni and Shiite Islamic divide… An 800 year old prophecy in the Ancient Jewish writings of Yalkut Shimoni declares that when the king of Persia (Iran) will provoke the king of Arabia (Saudi’s) redemption is around the corner! As the descendants of Ishmael (Muslims), war dominates the relations between the Arabs. Saudi Arabia and Iran has not seen peace for decades and 2018 saw the even greater struggle for regional dominance. (Turkey is also Sunni) Rabbi Yazchok said; "The year that Meleck HaMashiach (Yeshua Messiah – the King) will be revealed, all the nations of the world will be provoking each other. The king of Persia (Iran) will provoke the king of Arabia (Saudi) and the king of Arabia will go to Edom (the West – USA) to take council! But, the king of Persia (Iran) will in turn destroy the entire world! The nations of the world will be outraged and panicked. They will fall on their faces, and they will experience pains like "birth pains!" Israel will too be outraged and ask; "where do we go?" But, say unto them – "my children do not fear, the time of your redemption has come. In the last redemption will be different from the first which was followed by further bondage and pain. After this last redemption – Israel will not again experience any further pain!" 

The Blood Moon phenomenon of the 21^st Century of 27^th July, 2018 – a Prophetic sign… People across Israel and South Africa, parts of Africa, Britain, the Middle East, Australia, New Zealand and South Asia were be able to watch the Blood Moon which hung in the sky for 1 hour 43 Minutes …however, the whole celestial event lasted about 4 hours across the earth. (Unfortunately, people in the United States had to rely on web-casts to see this - Blood Moon). Mars, also known as the “red planet” was clearly visible sharing the skies with the “blood moon!” The next long eclipse will be 2036. "References to a moon like 'blood' are found in two passages of the Bible and are normally connected to Israel in prophecy!

“I will show wonders in the heavens and on the earth, blood and fire and billows of smoke. The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord.” – Joel 2:30-31. The Apostle John describes one of the “seal judgments” of Tribulation; “I watched as he opened the sixth seal. There was a great earthquake. The sun turned black like sackcloth made of goat hair, the whole moon turned blood red, and the stars in the sky fell to earth, as figs drop from a fig tree when shaken by a strong wind. The heavens receded like a scroll being rolled up, and every mountain and island was removed from its place.” – Revelation 6:12. (See also Matthew 24:29).

2018 saw the strangest of weather around the world with an increase in hurricanes, floods, earthquakes, fires, volcanic eruptions …and some even called it - “Apocalyptic Weather” and a “sign” of End-Times? So where do we find this extreme weather in Biblical Prophecy? In the tiny, three chapter long Book of Malachi, we find a clear reference; “to a day that will burn like a furnace.” - Malachi 3:19. (See also Psalms 46, 97; Isaiah 2, 13, 24, 30, 34, 60; Jeremiah 4; Ezekiel 32, 38; Joel 2, 3; Amos 8; Micah 1, 4; Nahum 1; Malachi 3; Zechariah 14; Zephaniah 1; Matthew 24 and Luke 21). Rabbi Nir Ben Artzi, from Southern Israel who publishes a weekly column in ‘Breaking Israel News’ about world events …connects all these news stories about extreme weather to – “the coming redemption!” In nearly every weekly message, he warns that God is demonstrating His mastery over nature; “The forces of nature - every place with evil will go up in flames; there will be earthquakes, floods, winds, storms and volcanic eruptions,” Artzi explained. “God is thinning out the impurities in the world and burning them!”

California’s devastating wildfire; November 2018 destroyed roughly 95 percent of town of “Paradise” as thousands of people fled the fast-moving wildfire which quickly spread out-of-control as mountain winds swept the flames through the community, destroying businesses and engulfing homes …but one symbol was left standing among the ashes of the “Our Saviour Lutheran Church” – it was the wooden CROSS! People who don’t know prophecy or the Word of God rush to call it “climate change!” What did our Lord warn us about in the Last Days? Weather disasters, as they increase in frequency and intensity, are actually fulfilling Bible prophecy. They are among the “signs” that Christ gave pointing to the end of this present evil age - leading up to His return. In Matthew 24:7, Yeshua (Jesus) prophesies… “Famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in (different) places” will afflict the world. 2017 was marked by earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes, floods, floods, wildfires and terrorist attacks. The world is being violently shaken by God …He is trying to get people’s attention! They are among the “signs” Christ gave of the end of the world we now know …and the beginning of a beautiful new world we can hardly even imagine! In this world we WILL have tribulation but we are to be of good cheer – our Lord has overcome this and so will we!

In December of 2018 we saw Paris burning but this time it wasn’t blamed on Globalists “climate change” hoax but rather it was the people revolting against Macron. France has become extremely anti-Semitic and many Jews forced to leave. French President Macron has refused to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s Capital and stands with Palestinians for a so-called un-Biblical two-state solution. God’s character is one of mercy and justice… Exodus 34:6-7 is one of the most important passages of Scripture in the Bible. It is here that God defines Himself and His character to Moses. He is long suffering and desires for all men and nations to come to repentance. Remember, God did NOT destroy wicked Nineveh (Jonah 4:2; Zephaniah 2:13) when they truly repented. There is still time for nations to repent of their attitudes toward Israel! Are we in the time when God is judging the nations? Certainly that is a real possibility and from many of the “signs” we see judgment may be near. It is, however, very clear from Joel 3: 2 that God is unhappy about two issues (1) Scattering His people, the Jewish people and (2) Dividing His Land – Israel!

The unbelieving, Liberal, Socialist, Secular world is uniting together with Islam like never before against Israel… Satan has stirred up the world to such an extent that the leaders of nations, churches and religions are clamouring for “for the sake of peace,” and so Satan's plans are coming to fruition, and End-Time Bible prophecy is being fulfilled. The world is coming together under Satan's banner to fight against the God of Israel - Yeshua (Jesus) and His people. While the world is calling for “peace and unity” our God is calling us His people to “come out” and “be separate!” So will we follow the world or will we heed God's End-Time message? Yes, nobody knows the time of our Lord’s return, but Yeshua – Himself, warned us of the signs! It's time to be ready and it’s time to surrender all to Christ and abide in Him.

Leaders around the world especially in Europe cultivate a mind-set that rejects any kind of Biblical truth or preaching that causes “division,” to what they believe should happen. Not God’s plan but theirs! Globalism “One-World” unity is high on their agenda and anyone who speaks against it will be persecuted. Liberals and Secularists have openly embraced Islam, advocate for abortion and homosexuality! “Is this how you repay the LORD, O foolish and senseless people? Is He not your Father and Creator? Has He not made you and established you?” -  Deuteronomy 32:6. The Bible warns us of the nature of the Antichrist… and we can see this army of Antichrist forming in our times!  And what causes division? Biblical truth! Yeshua (Jesus) said Himself that He didn't come to bring peace, but a 'sword' (Matthew 10:34). A sword that divides! And, why does the truth divide? Because, the kingdom of Satan is against the Kingdom of God! And, sadly, the majority in this world are part of Satan's kingdom. So when we preach truth, it causes division! The laws of the world are about to get much more forceful against those of us who preach the truth.

The Antichrist is the opposite of Christ… Just as Christ came to earth to do God’s will …the Antichrist will come to do the will of Satan and he will be Satan manifest in the form of man. Satan’s whole ambition is to be like God in power and might and he works for this with all of his might, night and day. “Who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.” – 2 Thessalonians 2:4. Satan’s intention is to replace God, and he will send the Antichrist as a means to do this. The Antichrist will deny mankind’s necessity for God, and assert himself as ruler of this world. But, what kind of a world would be willing to accept Satan’s messenger – the Antichrist as Lord? Is it possible that this world we live in now has come to such a state? The prevailing spirit in the world is the “spirit of Antichrist,” which has been working since the earliest days of the church (Ephesians 2:19-22; 1 John 4)

Lawlessness and Days of Noah and Days of Sodom… Sin is the cause of separation between God and mankind and when sin is put off - then we are unified with God. The “spirit of Antichrist” allows the sins that separate us from God to live by covering them with tolerance, false “love,” and freedoms. God’s word clearly states what is right and wrong, what is sinful and what is pure. But, when enough people live in sin, as we see today - it is no longer considered sin! God’s laws are rejected, and the laws of society, and eventually even the laws of the nations, change to accommodate this adjusted view of what is right and wrong! As impurity and sin are allowed to live, and mankind grows farther and farther away from God – which is exactly Satan’s intention! The majority of the world has given over to this “spirit of Antichrist.” Why? Because, it allows them to live comfortably - without a guilty conscience! For example – change the name of the sin; abortion which is murder is now called, “planned parenthood” or “family planning” – Homosexuality is called “gay” or LGBQT. Sin is covered and has been done even under the covering of religion and forgiveness of sin without ceasing from sin. In the times we now live in, “Liberalism,” “humanism” and “atheism” are more and more taking over the role that Bible used to play. Society is now more reliant on itself and being governed by itself, rather than being led by God! All of this is paving the way for the Antichrist himself to appear and attempt to get rid the world of any pretence of religion. Antichrist hates God’s people, Jews and Christians! Why Jews and true Judeo-Christians? Because, they are loved by God Almighty and believe in the Bible! Satan’s plan is to eradicate God altogether. He imitates God by performing “signs” and wonders to prove to the world once and for ALL that mankind is self-sufficient. (Revelation 13:13-14). 

Mankind is ready to embrace just such a person called “Antichrist!” Simply because the Antichrist will be someone who does NOT interfere with their godless, comfortable lives …and will be a force outside them. He will control their thoughts and dreams of (false) “peace and harmony” on earth in a world of global government of tolerance of all religion as one and of love and goodwill …but, WITHOUT any personal cost to themselves. NO accountability! And, the Antichrist will be able to accomplish this! The name of Antichrist has been synonymous with evil down through the ages …but, the truth is that when he is finally revealed, the majority of people will NOT recognize him as the Antichrist. He will NOT appear repellent; on the contrary, he will be someone who is talented, and ambitious to solve the world’s problems. And, he will advance what is already in the process of becoming a reality …that the world can become a “paradise” of man’s own making, without God! The world will believe that with the Antichrist at the helm, mankind can accomplish anything; “Then he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme His Name, His tabernacle, and those who dwell in heaven.” – Revelation 13:6. When that happens then Satan will finally have what he has always wanted and will be seen as equal to God by the godless unbelieving world and he will have control of a world that has NO need for God.

But, there will also be the true believers - “the Bride of Christ” who have NOT …and will NOT reject God or His Word - the Bible and will NOT be deceived! Sin is to us followers of Christ is exceedingly sinful. (Romans 7:13) Because, we have been extremely watchful and awake to any spirit that tolerates sin ...and will be allowed to see the Antichrist being revealed and see him for who he is.  The Antichrist will NOT fool “true believers” in Yeshua (Jesus) even if it costs us our lives! When this happens, we can expect Christ’s glorious return in “a twinkling of an eye” to take us - His bride home to be with Him. Once we have been “Raptured,” and, are receiving the reward of our faithfulness, the Antichrist will have free reign here on wicked earth. (2 Thessalonians 2:6-7) This will be a terrible time on the earth! The true, evil nature of the Antichrist will be revealed. When things have become as bad as they can be and when the need is the greatest, Christ will return again but this time WITH His Bride at the Lord’s Second Coming. Then He will consume the Antichrist with the breath of His mouth, and the world will see how powerless the Antichrist really is! Yeshua (Jesus) will take control of the kingdoms of the earth and Satan will be bound and cast into the bottomless pit! The earth will experience 1,000 years to learn how right, just, true and good God’s perfect will is - free from the deceit of the devil. And those of us who kept ourselves pure from “the spirit of the Antichrist” and have faithfully followed our beloved Yeshua (Jesus) in the footsteps He laid down for us ALL, will live and reign with Christ in this Millennium. (Revelation 20) There we will live in the kingdom of heaven, forevermore! Maranatha Yeshua!

The New World Order (NWO) or One World Government is NOT a new concept! Here’s a quote on 29^th January, 1991 - by then late 41^st US President George H.W. Bush (who passed away on the 30^th November, 2018); “What is at stake is more than one small country, it is a big idea – a new world order, where diverse nations are drawn together in a common cause, to achieve the universal aspirations of mankind; peace and security, freedom, and the rule of law… A world in which there is the very real prospect of a new world order.” The prophesied Global One-World Government is being formed on earth at this very time and has been for some time already! The Bible prophesies that the Antichrist WILL ultimately reign over this world government for three-and-one-half years during the Great Tribulation just prior to the Second Coming of Yeshua (Jesus) to establish His own world government. Control of the coming End-Time government will be consolidated into the totalitarian hands of the Antichrist. The dragon, which is the devil, gives this world governmental system its seat, power, and great authority (Revelation 13:2). Everyone on earth at the time WILL feel the oppression of this World Government structure because it is satanically inspired, and it is forming right now. Revelation 13:7 states that power will be given to the Antichrist over; “ALL kindred’s, and tongues, and nations.” Verse 3 says, “And all the world wondered after the beast.” - Daniel 7:23 …tells of a world governmental system ruled by the Antichrist, “The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.” The prophecy then states that this world government will rule the world until the Second Coming of Yeshua (after the Rapture)!

Now ponder on this? Will Russia and Iran first attack America first before it attacks Israel in the war of Ezekiel 38? Why? For years Iran has called America “the great Satan” and Israel “the little Satan!” Russia is NO friend of Israel. We believe that everything America does (good or bad - during Obama Admin.) have a direct connection to Israel. With US President Trump support and love for Israel …hatred has increased against America and Israel. The world first hates Israel and then anyone who is connected to itself with God’s people - the Jews! There are also several passages, which speak about the nations being judged by God! The prophet Joel warns us with a message for our time; “For behold, in those days and at that time, when I bring back the captives of Judah and Jerusalem, I will also gather all nations, and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat; and I will enter into judgment with them there on account of My people, My heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations; they have also divided up My land …Proclaim this among the nations: ‘Prepare for war! Wake up the mighty men, let all the men of war draw near, let them come up …Let the nations be wakened, and come up to the Valley of Jehoshaphat …Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision! For the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision. The sun and moon will grow dark, and the stars will diminish their brightness. The LORD also will roar from Zion, and utter His voice from Jerusalem; the heavens and earth will shake; but the LORD will be a shelter for His people, and the strength of the children of Israel. So you shall know that I am the LORD your God, dwelling in Zion My holy mountain…” - Joel 3:1–2, 9, 12, 14–17). The name “Jehoshaphat” has a literal meaning in Hebrew; “God will judge.” The word translated “judge” in Hebrew is “shofat,” and also means; to administer justice, pass sentence, punish, rule, or consider. Judgment is from the same root word “shfetah.” The first part of the word Jehoshaphat in Hebrew is Yod-He-Vav (YHV) which is part of God’s name, (YHVH) often pronounced Yahweh. (There was also a king of Judah called Jehoshaphat). This is a very helpful Scripture because it identifies the timing of the events as being the time “when I bring back the captives of Judah and Jerusalem.” We are living in the times when the captives of Judah and Jerusalem are in and still returning to their Ancient homeland – Israel. Are we nearing the time when God will judge the nations? Certainly that is a real possibility and from many of the signs we see - judgment may be already beginning?

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; 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. Now, more than at any time is the time to support Israel and the Jewish people - the Lord’s Brethren! We are witnessing the nations and people turning their backs on Israel. Thank you once again for your prayers and generous support!

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,

Alf & Julie Saunders
