US Pastors Visit Israel During Operation Protective Edge

CUFI's Central Regional Coordinator, Pastor Lyndon Allen of Woodmont Bible Church in Nashville and an Israel Defense Forces soldier.

Christians United for Israel (CUFI), the pro-Israel organization with 1.8 million members (founded by Christian pastor John Hagee), came to Israel for a three-day trip last week, with 51 pastors—one from each state and the District of Columbia. "There are still people in America who can distinguish morally between Israel and Hamas. There are still people in America who appreciate what Israel is doing—not just to protect their own citizens, but we believe deeply that when Israel battles Hamas they're also protecting us in America," CUFI Executive Director David Brog said.

Israeli UN Ambassador Warns Nations Against Terrorism

Ron Prosor-United Nations

Speaking before the United Nations (UN) General Assembly, Israel’s ambassador to the UN, Ron Prosor, condemned its malignant anti-Israel bias and warned the international body to “stand with Israel and stand against terror before it’s too late.” “The international community has lost its way,” he said. “This institution was founded to stand for truth, for justice, and for moral clarity. This is no longer the case.” “It might be too much to ask you to stand on our side in this battle between civilization and barbarism, but at least have the decency to swallow your selective outrage while Israel wages war against the extremist groups seeking to eradicate the values that we all hold very dear.”

Parasha Va’etchanan (And I Pleaded): Moses Pleads with the Lord

Orthodox Jewish man in prayer-tallit-tefillin

This week’s Torah portion begins with Moses reminding the people of how he pleaded with God for the privilege of entering the Promised Land, but God refused to grant his request. Rabbinic tradition says that Moses begged God 515 times, (taken from the gematria or numerical value of the word va’etchanan). Moses asked God, “’Let me go over and see the good land beyond the Jordan—that fine hill country and Lebanon.’ But because of you the Lord was angry with me and would not listen to me. ‘That is enough,’ the Lord said. ‘Do not speak to me anymore about this matter.’” (Deuteronomy 3:25–26)

Iran Calls on Muslims to Arm Hamas Against Israel

Iran's Ayatollah Ali Khamenei

Last Tuesday, Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei called on the world's Muslims to rearm Hamas against Israel.

Ceasefire Holds But Arab Violence Continues Inside Israel

Motorcycles found in Hamas tunnels

Jerusalem seems to be on the brink of a third intifada as Arab violence incited by Fatah and Hamas boils over in the Jerusalem neighborhoods, the Temple Mount, and elsewhere in Israel. The world shaking events of the last month give us every indication that we are living in prophetic days that are leading up to Yeshua (Jesus) coming back as the King Messiah to reign in Jerusalem. They were preceded by what many are proclaiming a celestial sign: the first eclipse of the year, which coincided with the first night of Passover. This eclipse will be followed by three consecutive lunar eclipses coinciding with the Jewish feasts of Sukkot in 2014 and Passover and Sukkot again in 2015. It is a rare celestial event called the Blood Moon Tetrad.
