Israeli Spies Save 5 Year Old Syrian Girl’s Life in a Dangerous Mission
Throughout the world, so many are quick to speak out against Israel, to promulgate lies against Israel, and to stand with such egregious movements like the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanction against Israel. But, to actually see Israel and the Jewish people first hand, it dispels the lies that are so easily spread about Israel. In light of the recent conflicts between Israel and their neighbors, Israel is repeatedly portrayed as the bad guy according to media sources. The most recent events happening within the Israeli Defense Forces shines a beacon of light as to what exactly Israel is doing.
Israel Daily shares the profound story of a 5-year old Syrian refugee girl that was injured after being caught in the middle of cross fires. After being treated in a Haifi hospital, her doctors learned that she had cancer. In the process of looking for a bone marrow donor, a relative of the young girl was needed to supply the bone marrow. What was Israel to do? Israeli Security Forces embarked on a special mission to retrieve the family and bring them back to Israel, in order to save the little girl’s life.
In light of these developments, it’s understandable why so many Americans love Israel. A collection of artists took time to immerse themselves in the culture of Israel, by traveling to Israel in order to experience just how rich and life-changing the culture and people of Israel are. Author Annie Downs shares a profound statement when she expressed, “While being Pro-Israel, doesn’t mean being anti-anybody else. You can be Pro-Israel and Pro-Human.” Other artists as Brady Toops, Moriah Peters, Lauren “Fleurie” Strahm, and others share about their own personal experiences in the holy land.
Allow your perspective of Israel to be radically shifted, or if you have been a supporter of Israel, be reminded as to why it is so beautiful to support Israel, and so much more.

“WE MUST ADMIT THAT THEY ARE EVERYWHERE!” Saudi TV Host Boldly and Strongly Condemns Jihadist Terrorist and Challenges Muslim Community to Speak Out
If the amount of terrorism and sex slavery spreading across the Earth is not concerning enough to someone, the most recent development should be. CBN’s Gary Lane shares how a recent UNICEF report confirms there is “an increase in the use of child bombers by Islamic extremists”. Gary continues to share the details of the report, “in northern Nigeria, the Islamic terror group Boko Haram has increased the number of child bombers used in attacks from four to 44. Seventy-five percent were girls.” These are not just dramatizations portrayed through the sensitization of a Hollywood film, but life shattering reality for many. This is happening every day to children in the Arab world across the Middle East and it is also happening to our servicemen and women who are having to make life threatening decisions to kill a child in order to prevent those in their teams and units from being killed by suicide vests, rocket propelled grenades, or gunfire. We must empathize with those that are experiencing these horrifying evils.
For many years, questions have been raised as to where are the Arabs who are speaking out against these terrorist acts, calling for a reformation of Islam? A Saudi Arabian TV-host, Nadine Al-Budair, boldly spoke out condemning and rebuking these terrorist acts. She holds nothing back as she expresses these stinging words, “It is we who blow ourselves up. It is we who blow up others. Why do we shed our own conscience? Why do the sheiks, the pundits, the journalists, and all the Arab officials insist upon (not) using their conscience when they point to the perpetrators? Don’t these perpetrators emerge from our environment?”She continues to make her point crystal clear; “Don’t their families belong to our society? Didn’t anyone you know – someone from your city, a neighbor, someone from your street, a relative, a nephew, a grandson, a father, or a mother – go to Syria or Iraq to wage Jihad?”
As more and more terrorist attacks occur throughout the world, the many mainstream media resources refuse to acknowledge the obvious existence of Radical Islam. Al-Budair addresses this issue head on as she continues,
“After the abominable Brussels bombings, it’s time for us to feel shame and to stop acting as if the terrorists are a rarity. We must admit that they are everywhere, that their nationality is Arab, and that they adhere to the religion of Islam. We must acknowledge that we are the ones who gave birth to them, and who have made them memorize the teachings of all the Salafi books. We must admit that it is the schools and universities that we established that told them the others are infidels. We must admit that we all – our different sects and faiths, the Sunnis and the Shia – adhere to one school and one school only: the “freezing of the mind”
This is exactly what so many have been waiting for someone to say. These are bold and courageous statements! It is vital for us, as The Church, to not get caught up in the narrative that the world promulgates about the people groups of the world. Arabs are not our enemy. Muslims are not our enemy. Satan is our enemy. The resounding truth that we must understand is that many Arabs are coming to Christ.
When Josh Reinstein spoke with Pastor Steven Khoury of Jerusalem’s Calvary Church, they discussed some powerful realities that are taking place in Israel. Khoury is witnessing Arabs coming to Christ who want to know more about The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. In light of the many radical teachings that many Arab children grow up in, Pastor Khoury shares how many are not seeking this lifestyle, but in fact are seeking out the ways of Jesus Christ. In light of these exciting truths, the contrary teachings form the Palestinian Authority are teaching that Jesus was not Jewish but in fact a Palestinian martyr. Pastor Khoury boldly refutes this lie as he shares, “We have to look at the facts. Jesus was from the Tribe of Judah, from the seed of Jesse, Mary was a Jew, Joseph was a Jew, Jesus was a Jew. This is not a political statement. This is a Biblical factual statement; and Jesus’ allegiance was to The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.” God’s love for the Arab people is no different than His love for every other human being on the face of the Earth. Pastor Khoury expresses these encouraging words reminding us how we must view those in the Middle East. “Pray for the people group in this land. When you pray for the Jews you also pray for the Arabs because the problem that lies within is a heart issue. So, you cannot love the Arab and hate the Jew. That’s not Biblical. That’s not right and neither is the opposite.” This is so encouraging as God desires for all men to come to eternal life through Jesus Christ.
These are very perspectives that we must hold true to when the media sources of the world try to sow division between people groups. Our hope should always be heaven full and hell empty.

Jonathan Cahn Reveals the Mystery of the Ishmael
It appears that the news reports broadcasting terrorism across the world isn’t slowing down anytime soon. The question is why is this happening? Why are those who follow the teachings of Radical Islam so violently against those who believe anything other than Radical Islam? Why are so many attacks coming against Israel and the Jewish people? As Rabbi Jonathan Cahn has revealed many profound insights into the Biblical perspective of what is happening in our events of the day, Rabbi Cahn reveals more into the history of Islam. You may be surprised to find out what the answer is. It is the Mystery of Ishmael.
Rabbi Cahn was recently on the Jim Bakker Show and he shared these powerful words, “It has effected every one of our lives. To this day, you’re talking about news reports; it’s all linked to a mystery that goes back to the tent of Abraham.” He continues to share, “It’s behind everything from Islam, to Mohammed, to Osama Bin Laden, to Yasser Arafat, to the threats on America, all the way back to Abraham’s tent.”
Rabbi Cahn takes us back to the story within Genesis 15 of God speaking to Abraham that he would be blessed with a son. When the timings of the Lord were not within the timelines of Abraham’s plans, Abraham listened to his wife Sarah and had a child with his servant Hagar. The child that was birthed from this was Ishmael. Abraham thought this would suffice as Abraham now had a son. Much to Abraham’s surprise, it did not. The very words that God speaks describing Ishmael in Genesis 16:12 brings clarity to the characteristics of Radical Islam today; “He will be a wild donkey of a man; his hand will be against everyone and everyone’s hand against him, and he will live in hostility toward all his brothers.” Rabbi Cahn expounds, “So, everybody thought it was Ishmael. Everyone thought Ishmael was the one of the promise including Abraham, Hagar had to have, Sara had to have. So they thought this was the way.” A number of years later, and God’s promise still has yet to come to pass. A son is in order and Isaac eventually comes through the womb of Sara to everyone’s surprise; especially Ishmael.
After walking in the perceived blessing, it all falls on Isaac now, and not Ishmael. How would you feel if you were Ishmael? If this weren’t bad enough, Hagar and Ishmael are sent away as described in Genesis 21. Genesis 21:10 describes the very words that changed Ishmael’s life; “Get rid of that slave woman and her son, for that woman’s son will never share in the inheritance with my son Isaac.” Rabbi Cahn describes what this must have felt like for Ishmael,
“What would you be feeling? Probably jealousy, resentful. Then you lose everything when you’re about thirteen. You lose everything. You lose the birthright. You lose what looks like your inheritance. You lose your father. You lose all that honored position… He’s just becoming a teenager now. What is that going to do to him (Ishmael)? What is that going to do to his being? From him come much of the Arab people.”
Think about this powerful reality! The Jewish people and the Arabs are actually cousins! This explanation from Rabbi Cahn not only describes the root of what is being played out on the stage of the world, but it also gives empathy as we can now understand the heart of those in the Arab world. He also shares, “SO what do you have among, in Islam? You have ‘god has no son’. They cannot call God Father… Why? Because they lost the father years ago. It’s kind of like says, ‘if we don’t have a father, nobody has a father. You look at the Temple Mount, and what do you see… it says, “God has no son”.
There are many Arabs that are coming to Christ in this hour. Ask God to burden your heart now for those in the Arab community so that you can share the Good News of the love of The Father through His Son Jesus Christ.
