Over 100,000 Jewish Christians Prior to Holocaust

According to a recent news article in Israel Today, during the years prior to the Holocaust the Lord raised up a born-again Lithuanian Jewish evangelist, Jakob Jocz, to preach the gospel to the Jewish people. “It is estimated that, through outreach efforts like his, there were as many as 100,000 Jewish believers in Yeshua by the time war broke out in 1939, many of whom would no doubt have shared the fate of their brethren in the concentration camps but who would also no doubt have shared the life-giving gospel of their Savior.” When we get to heaven we will hear the testimonies of our Jewish brothers and sisters in Christ who came to know our Savior only days or hours before their death, like the thief on the cross.

Israel Going to the Moon

Israel is set to join the prestigious list of nations who have sent spacecraft to the moon. Following extensive eight years of planning and preparation, the unmanned spacecraft was recently shipped from Tel Aviv to the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida for a launch during the middle of February.

The space craft is called “Beresheet,” which is Hebrew for the first word in the Book of Genesis, meaning, “in the beginning.”

Israel continues to demonstrate it is one of the leading nations in the world with scientific and high-tech innovations and creations. As one would expect, this is creating a lot of excitement in Israel. It is also sending a very strong signal to the other nations in the Middle East concerning the advanced high-tech expertise of the nation of Israel.

“Get out of Syria Fast”

On Tuesday, January 15th, Prime Minister used the occasion for the swearing in of the new Israeli Defense Force (IDF) Chief of Staff, Aviv Kochavi, to send a very powerful message to Iran. For several years now, Iran has been building up its military forces in Syria. Israel knows that the purpose of Iran’s military presence in Syria is to develop a powerful Iranian military force on the northern border of Israel to ultimately attack Israel. Iran has openly bragged to the world that it will destroy Israel. The former out-going DF Chief of Staff, Gadi Eisenkot, revealed that Israel has destroyed the Iranian military installations in Syria with thousands of missiles and bombs in recent years. According to Israel Today, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu sent a very powerful message to Iran. He said, “I’m telling you, get out of there fast. We won’t stop attacking.”

As students of Bible prophecy, we know that Iran, Russia, and Turkey will attack Israel probably immediately before the Tribulation begins. (Read Ezekiel 38-39.) Three times in Ezekiel 38 we are told that this attack on Israel will take place when Israel is dwelling “safely” in the land. The Hebrew word used here speaks of the military self-reliance Israel will exhibit at the time of Iran’s attempted attack. These words by Prime Minister Netanyahu certainly illustrate that Israel is very confident in its own ability to defend itself, even in the presence of the Russian and Turkish forces in Syria as well.

Israel may not fully recognize it yet, but their greatest defense is from above. The Holy One of Israel has promised to defend His people when they return to their land in the last days. Read Psalm 121. In Isaiah 54:17, God promised Israel, “No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper.”

On October 8, 2018, Israeli archeologists unveiled a very important discovery from just a few days ago. An ancient temple column with the name “Jerusalem” inscribed on it, dating to 100 B.C. has been found. This is the earliest known stone carving with the Hebrew name Jerusalem. This is very significant in light of the world’s rejection of the Jewish ownership of Jerusalem, based upon lies being circulated by the Arabs and the United Nations. As believers we know the Bible has mentioned Jerusalem by name more than 800 times. Many of these Biblical references clearly indicate that Jerusalem was the political and spiritual center of Israel in ancient times. However, this discovery gives physical proof that an unbelieving world needs to see. For details see: www.timesofisrael.com
