Jews Returning Back to Israel
We are witnessing prophetic times truly coming to pass and flight after flight is landing on the runways of Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion International Airport in Israel. Nefesh B’Nefesh is an organization that partners with North American and British Jews to bring those who desire, to move and transition to Israel. According to CBN, “Since its establishment in 2002, it has brought about 45,000 immigrants from the United States, Canada, and England.” This is Biblical prophecy coming to pass before our very eyes. Be encouraged as you see these events for yourself, and so much more. Greg and John shared in this segment.
Iran Nuke Deal Almost Certain? Does this Agreement mean America will Defend Iran if Attacked? Is this our Dietrich Bonhoeffer Moment?
Many are aware of the disastrous negotiations that have been taking place between the leadership of America and Iran. This very deal, led by Secretary of State John Kerry, would give empowerment to Iran. As the approaching date arrives for Congress to vote on whether to allow or stop this agreement, CBN is reporting, “Senate Republicans, and four Senate Democrats, oppose the deal. Many of them argue it gives Iran too much freedom to pursue its nuclear agenda, increasing the chances for war in the future. They were hoping to pass a measure this week opposing the deal, but it now looks uncertain whether the Senate will get to vote at all.” The voices being raised against this are loud, plainly heard for all who have ears. As clear as the warnings are, it appears that many are continuing to go in the direction being warned against. These are the very same realities and moments that Dietrich Bonhoeffer experienced when he continuously warned the nation of Germany, and the Church, against a man rising to power, Adolf Hitler. Is this our Dietrich Bonhoeffer moment?
Bonhoeffer spent considerable time walking with those who were not listening to him in hopes that they would. He desired to fight in the military of Germany but struggled with the reality that he could not fight in the ranks of the military that was against Israel and the Jews. The realities that we are facing in 2015, in America, is just like Bonhoeffer? We cannot fight against Israel. We cannot position ourselves in a place to be fighting against the Jews.
Governments around the world are being organized against the Jews and Christians. When we are witnessing Christians beheaded for their refusal to deny Christ; when we are seeing Jews persecuted, and Christians ran out of their homes, we must see them as ourselves. This is the Church. We should be feeling their pain. We need Dietrichs to rise up in this moment of time.
The war that was witnessed in Israel just moments ago is a fore shadow of possibilities in America, if we do not wake up. When Hamas constructed tunnel after tunnel on the borders of Israel, allowing Islamic terrorists to spring up within cities, this is a valid and realistic reminder of the possible vulnerabilities that America faces. As a 40 year Veteran, who has experienced 8 Israeli wars, Dan Gordon writes in his book, Day of the Dead, what could transpire in America. In an interview with CBN, Gordon expresses how real these threats are, “…there are terrorist attack tunnels that exist already. They’re called ‘drug smuggling tunnels’ and they run from parts of Mexico to California to Arizona, and to Texas.” CBN continues to express, “A former FBI agent warned recently that, ‘those tunnels could be used as an underground highway for ISIS.” Continuing the reality of this warning and the magnitude of this threat, Gordon continues by stating, “Half of the Pacific Fleet is at anchor in San Diego.”
We do not have to be fearful or full of anxiety in the reality of these warnings. These are the imminent threats and reality of a nation that has turned against the ways of God. Watch the full stories of what is taking place, how you can respond, and so much more. Greg and John shared in this segment.
Civil Christianity Walking Together in LOVE: Join the Movement Today- Civil Christianity.org
When Jesus walked the Earth, He wasn’t caught up with the happenings in the world, or the agendas of politics that were taking place in other nations. People often tried to urge Jesus to stay. In Luke 4:43, Jesus said, “I must proclaim the good news of the kingdom of God to the other towns also, because that is why I was sent.” This is exactly what we, as the Church, are called to do. We are called to transform nations for the Glory of God. Bill Bright received a profound revelation from the Lord on how this is carried out. This is now known as the 7 Mountains of Culture; Family, Education, Government, Arts & Entertainment, Religion (The Church), Media, and Business. We must stand up for the Constitution, for what is right and what is true. Love must be our motive in all that we do. Today, we have the gift of those who walked this out in previous generations. One great example of this demonstration is Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. pioneered what is now known as the Civil Rights Movement, spearheading each action by reminding each of the participants that love must be the driving force. He did this by requiring each of those who walked with him to sign their name stating that they would walk in agreement to 10 commitments. Reverend Jessie Douglas was a man that walked with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., literally. In an interview with CBN, Reverend Douglas shares some of his personal stories while walking with Dr. King. As we are seeing the same rising tensions in America today, CBN asks Reverend Douglas how they carried this out. “The approach that you talk about with non-violence, with a Christian perspective, how did you get people convinced to go that route when it goes against human nature?” Reverend Douglas responds by saying, “Well, the persons who participated, had to sign papers promising that they would not violate our non-violent procedure of demonstration.” He continues by saying, ‘Dr. King got us to realize that hate only provokes hate and violence only provokes violence and love is the greatest force on Earth.’
Today, the 10 commitments are carried on, with slight adjustments for today’s technology. You can stand in agreement with those who are standing up for God by going to Civil Christianity.org. When you’ve done everything you can do to stand, all you can then do is stand. Sometimes it is required for us to stand alone, but we must also be OK with the consequences that come with standing for what is right. Allow your faith to be lifted and your boldness to be stirred as you are empowered and encouraged to stand for truth in love, and so much more. Greg and John shared in this segment.
