End Of Debate… Christians Must Support Israel – By Nathan Jones - https://harbingersdaily.com/end-of-debate-christians-must-support-israel/
Murderous. Raping. Butchering. Monsters. These adjectives stretch our minds back to the brutal conquests of the Mongol Horde of old or the heinous crimes committed by ISIS during the past decade. But, today? These dire words aptly describe Hamas. Our brains struggle to believe such brutality could possibly exist in this modern-day world. And yet, as Hamas invaders tore through Israel’s fences and murdered over 1,200 innocent people — in such gruesome ways I couldn’t possibly describe here — and kidnapped hundreds more, we know that such evil truly does exist in our day. The world initially rallied around Israel in their mission to wipe out this great evil, and rightly so. But, as the fighting continues on and the body count rises, much of the world has maddingly turned their support to the terrorists and tragically against the victims! To my surprise, even Christians seem to be struggling with why they should be supporting Israel. Well, I’ll tell you why. God is fulfilling promises today that were made to the Jewish people thousands of years ago. These promises rest on a series of legal agreements, called covenants, made between God and the Jewish people, that center on the land of Israel. The cornerstone covenant — the Abrahamic Covenant — grants the title deed to the land of Israel to the descendants of the line of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. This unconditional, irrevocable, and everlasting promise was literally sealed in blood (Genesis 12:1-7; 13:14-18; 17:7; 1 Chronicles 16:17-18; Psalm 105:8-11; Romans 9:4). God’s Land Covenant promises that Israel will one day become the prime nation of the world… (Deuteronomy 28:1). The Davidic Covenant promises an eternal King who will descend from the line of King David. One day this Messiah will rule over the entire world from Jerusalem (2 Samuel 7:10-16). These covenants are why for hundreds of years, Christians have believed, just because God said so, that we should naturally support the nation of Israel. Well, “Not so!”, says a particular group of Christians, Christians who meet at conferences with names like “Christ at the Checkpoint.” They question the legitimacy of these covenants and whether Christians should really be supporting Israel. Myths Busted Let’s debunk seven of these naysayers’ most popular myths for why Christians should not support the nation of Israel. Myth #1: “The Jews killed Jesus!” Those who accuse the Jews of killing Jesus seem to have purposefully forgotten that the Bible says, “For truly in this city there were gathered together against Your holy Servant Jesus, whom You anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, along with the Gentiles and the peoples of Israel” (Acts 4:27-28). So, not only did both Jews and Gentiles participate in murdering Jesus, but in truth, we are all sinners, and therefore all of us are responsible for Jesus dying on the cross. But, reality check, Jesus Himself clearly stated that He alone laid down His life and that no one took it from Him (John 10:15-18). Myth #2: “The Jews have been disinherited because of their unbelief.” The Jews may have been evicted from their land — twice — due to their rebellion against God. But, as Psalm 105 explains, God guaranteed in His Abrahamic Covenant that the land of Israel unconditionally and forever belongs to the children of Jacob. And, as the Apostle Paul argued in Romans 9-11, “Has God rejected His people? May it never be! For I too am an Israelite… God has not rejected His people whom He foreknew.” And so, no, God has neither disinherited the Jewish people nor revoked His land covenants. Myth #3: “The Church has replaced Israel and now receives her inheritance.” Not according to the Apostle Paul! He tells the story of an olive tree whose branches were pruned off due to unbelief, and wild vines grafted on (Romans 11). But, when the natural branches began believing again, they would be grafted back on the tree. Salvation may have come to the wild olive vines — the Church — but God still has salvation planned for the natural branches — a believing Israel who will call Jesus Savior. Myth #4: “The Jews regathering back to the land of Israel cannot be from God because they haven’t repented and accepted Jesus as their Messiah.” The Jews returning to Israel in unbelief is exactly what God foretold would happen. Isaiah prophesied the Jews would be regathered a second time from the nations of the world, and Ezekiel made it clear that the Jews would regather in unbelief for God Himself to give them a new heart for Him (Isaiah 11:10-12; Ezekiel 36:22-28). It’s no accident of history that a people dispossessed from their country for 1,900 years could ever have kept their ethnic identity and rebirthed their nation two millennia later. Such a thing has never happened! And this is the nation of the Bible we’re talking about. Therefore, the regathering of the Jews can only be a miracle from God. Myth #5: “To support Israel is to support every action of the Israeli government.” Nobody supports every action of any government, even their own. Supporting Israel is to support the redemptive work God is doing in bringing a remnant of their people to salvation in Christ and ultimately into the fulfillment of His covenants. Myth #6: “The Jews stole the Palestinians’ land and live there illegally.” First off, the Abrahamic Covenant grants the Jewish people the eternal deed to the land of Israel. Second, when the Jews began returning in the early 20th Century, there was no such thing as a Palestinian. The handful of Arabs living in that wasteland sold the land back to the Jews at exorbitant prices. And third, Israel was created legally in response to a United Nations declaration passed in November 1947, which authorized the establishment of a Jewish state in the land the Romans had renamed Palestine. You can’t steal land that’s already legally yours. Myth #7: “To support Israel is to hate the Palestinian people.” Contrary to Arab propaganda, those who call themselves Palestinians enjoy more freedoms and rights in Israel than if they lived in any Muslim nation. For it’s not the Jews who hate and abuse the Palestinians, but their own terrorist leaders who steal billions of their foreign aid and deny refugees access back to their home countries of Syria and Jordan. Why, the Palestinians have been afforded several opportunities since 1948 to create another Palestinian state besides Jordan, but each time they have rejected those offers and instead responded with violence. Why? Because their ultimate goal is the annihilation of Israel. So, who exactly hates who here? With those myths busted, let’s look at some of the reasons why Christians should support Israel. 1. Democracy — The nation of Israel is the only Western-style democracy in a sea of Islamic tyranny. Supporting Israel is to support the only nation in the Middle East that offers religious freedom and human rights to women. 2. Defense — Israel protects the West and Christianity by standing as the first line of defense against violent, radical Islam. 3. Economics — Israel contributes to the world a mind-boggling amount of food, medicines, and cutting-edge technologies that raise the standard of living throughout the world. 4. Blessing — When it comes to supporting the nation of Israel, God promised in Genesis 12, “I will bless those who bless you, and the one who curses you I will curse.” Supporting Israel incurs God’s blessing. 5. Biblical — It rather goes without saying that it is biblically correct for Christians to support God. Since God loves the Jewish people and wants them to return to Him, then shouldn’t Christians want this as well? Loving Israel expresses our love for God. 6. Prophetic — And finally, whether you love or hate the nation of Israel, or even the Jewish people, regardless of what we mere mortals think — Bible prophecy will be fulfilled. God’s will will be done, and there’s just no stopping it. After all, who could ever stand against the Living God and expect to win (Psalm 76:7; Hebrews 10:31)? So, in conclusion, it’s not “Should Christians support Israel?” but rather, “Christians must support Israel!” The Anti-Israel Protests Are Being Organized By Paid Professional Agitators and Are Being Funded By The Usual Suspects - by Michael Snyder - https://endoftheamericandream.com/the-anti-israel-protests-are-being-organized-by-paid-professional-agitators-and-are-being-funded-by-the-usual-suspects/ If you actually believe that it is just a “coincidence” that anti-Israel protests have “spontaneously” erupted at dozens of colleges and universities all over the nation, you are just being delusional. As you will see below, these protests are being organized by paid professional agitators, and they are being funded by the same far left sources that have funded other radical protest movements in the past. But don’t just take my word for it. New York City Mayor Eric Adams is a far left mayor in a far left city, and even he is admitting that there were “professionals” involved in the chaos that we just witnessed at Columbia University… “There were individuals on the campus who should not have been there. They were people who are professionals and we saw evidence of training,” Adams said. “I know that there are those who attempting to say, ‘Well, the majority of people may have been students.’ You don’t have to be the majority to influence and co-op an operation. That is what this about. “This is a global problem that young people are being influenced by those who are professionals at radicalizing our children and I’m not going to allow that to happen as the mayor of the city of New York.” Mayor Adams says that Lisa Fithian, who is considered to be “the nation’s best-known protest consultant”, was directly involved with what was going on at Columbia… A video shown by the mayor shows Lisa Fithian, an infamous agitator at US protests for over half a century, showing protesters how to occupy a building. Adams called Fithian ‘the nation’s best-known protest consultant’, noting she gets paid as much as $300 a day to run demonstrations and teach how to take over streets during protests. In addition, it is being reported that three groups that are heavily funded by George Soros “set up the tent city on Columbia’s lawn”… The cash from Soros and his acolytes has been critical to the Columbia protests that set off the national copycat demonstrations. Three groups set up the tent city on Columbia’s lawn last Wednesday: Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP), Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP) and Within Our Lifetime. At the “Gaza Solidarity Encampment,” students sleep in tents apparently ordered from Amazon and enjoy delivery pizza, coffee from Dunkin’, free sandwiches worth $12.50 from Pret a Manger, organic tortilla chips and $10 rotisserie chickens. An analysis by The Post shows that all three got cash from groups linked to Soros. The Rockefeller Brothers Fund also gave cash to JVP. This wasn’t just a group of college students that suddenly decided to get radical. This was an operation that was well planned and well funded. And the SJP has had a hand in initiating similar operations at other colleges and universities all over the United States… Copycat tent cities have been set up at colleges including Harvard, Yale, Berkeley in California, the Ohio State University and Emory in Georgia — all of them organized by branches of the Soros-funded Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) — and at some, students have clashed with police. The SJP parent organization has been funded by a network of nonprofits ultimately funded by, among others, Soros, the billionaire left-wing investor. At three colleges, the protests are being encouraged by paid radicals who are “fellows” of a Soros-funded group called the US Campaign for Palestinian Rights (USCPR). An organization known as “The People’s Forum” was also very heavily involved in the chaos that erupted at Columbia. In fact, the Manhattan headquarters of the group appears to have been a primary base of operations for the protesters… The People’s Forum, a tax-exempt advocacy group who often hosts propaganda events for the regimes of countries like Venezuela and Cuba, has been accused of being behind the Columbia protests. The Washington Free Beacon reports the group, which has received $12 million from Goldman Sachs, may have provided materials for the so-called occupation of Hamilton Hall. Over 100 masked activists met at the group’s Manhattan headquarters, a base for all kinds of leftist activism, to plan their moves on Monday, participating in breakout sessions that taught ‘resistance’ methods. Last year, the New York Times reported that “The People’s Forum” has received funding from the Chinese Community Party. Needless to say, that is a very alarming connection. For now, the protest at Columbia has been crushed, but we continue to see chaos at colleges and universities all over the country. Here are some of the highlights…
The violence at UCLA is particularly disturbing. Last night, a number of individuals were seriously hurt, and one person actually had to be sent to the hospital… The clashes at UCLA took place around a tent encampment built by pro-Palestinian protesters, who erected barricades and plywood for protection — while counter-protesters tried to pull them down. Video showed fireworks exploding over and in the encampment. People threw chairs and at one point a group piled on a person who lay on the ground, kicking and beating them with sticks until others pulled them out of the scrum. A UCLA spokesperson on Wednesday said there were “a reported 15 injuries, including one hospitalization.” It appears that the person that was hospitalized was a Jewish girl that was “surrounded by five people wearing keffiyehs and bludgeoned in the head while they stomped on her Israeli flag”… According to That Korean Jew on Instagram the girl was surrounded by five people wearing keffiyehs and bludgeoned in the head while they stomped on her Israeli flag. The girl reportedly lost consciousness and her body went limp. She was carried away and sent to the Emergency Room. This actually happened at UCLA in 2024. What in the world is happening to our country? You can view some footage of the violence at UCLA right here… WATCH: https://youtu.be/jwXPJGdEZa8 At UCLA, the protesters are not just “occupying” one particular area. Zero Hedge is reporting that radicals have actually put up barriers all around the campus and are keeping out any students that do not agree with the protests… It’s like the Seattle CHAZ encampment all over again. Far-left activists have declared the UCLA campus a “liberated zone” and are refusing entry for many students not affiliated with the pro-Gaza protests. They have erected barriers and placed guards, creating makeshift checkpoints which require a special wrist band in order to gain passage. In other words, if you aren’t an “ally” then you don’t get to attend classes, or, if you’re lucky you are allowed to take a longer route around the barricades. Keep in mind, this is not a protected form of protest or free speech, which explains why many college campuses have chosen to have protesters removed by police. UCLA so far appears to be supporting the activists and has allowed them to take control. This is complete and utter lawlessness. And if they get away with it there, paid agitators will try the same thing at other colleges and universities. Of course these far left radicals at UCLA need to eat just like the rest of us, and they are specifically asking people to bring them “vegan and gluten-free food”… The pro-Palestine encampment at UCLA sent out demands for vegan and gluten-free food as they rebuild their barricades after a night of violent clashes with counter-protesters and authorities. The list of requested items, first reported by Fox News, included ‘urgent’ demands for ‘wood for barrier’, ‘knee and elbow pads’ and ‘gas masks.’ Under a list of food requirements to be delivered to the camp the protesters requested ‘vegan food’, ‘gluten free food’ and ‘hot food for lunch’. A list of banned foods include anything packaged, coffee, bagels, bananas and nuts. Colleges and universities are perfect locations for far-left protests, because there are lots of wide open public spaces and there are lots of deeply confused young people that are sympathetic to leftist causes. So I fully expect that colleges and universities will continue to be targeted by professional agitators and the organizations that fund them during this election season and the chaos that will extend into 2025 and beyond. One of the primary goals of these protests is to get attention, and the mainstream media has been giving them plenty of it. Unfortunately, I believe that this is just the beginning. I am entirely convinced that global events will soon spiral completely out of control, and that will provide plenty of fuel for more nationwide protests.

The Bible says that the antichrist’s entire platform is built on deception. “And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live” (Revelation 13:14). When asked, “What will be the sign of Thy coming?” Jesus’ reply began with the words, “Take heed that no man deceive you” (Matthew 24:4). The Apostle Paul, in his 2nd letter to Timothy, speaking specifically of the last days, warned, “But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived” (2nd Timothy 3:13). The prophet Isaiah, also writing of the Tribulation Period, prophesied, “I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears upon them; because when I called, none did answer; when I spake, they did not hear: but they did evil before mine eyes, and chose that in which I delighted not” (Isaiah 66:3). Contrariwise, Paul says of the Church of the last days, “But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief” (1st Thessalonians 5:4). The ‘day’ to which Paul is referring is the day of the Rapture of the Church, a secret event that Jesus said would remain secret because, “…if the goodman of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken through” (Luke 12:39). Suppose that it became common knowledge that the Rapture was definitely going to take place on January 1, 2016. Recall the ‘Millennium fever’ period just before the turn of the century. The lyrics to a popular song of the time makes my point; “Two thousand, zero zero / party over / out of time / So tonight we’re gonna party like it’s 1999.” That pretty much sums it up. If we knew when the Lord was coming back for sure, you can bet that the day before, there’d be a whole lotta repentin’ goin’ on. But up until then… well, human nature is what it is. Christians are only human, after all. “Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come” (Matthew 24:42). Assessment In this generation, deception has taken on a new dimension. A lie isn’t a lie; it is ‘spin.’ Truth is relative — one man’s ‘truth’ is another man’s lie — it all depends on what the meaning of the word ‘is’ is, and so forth. “And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme His Name, and His tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven” (Revelation 13:5-6). The Bible says that during the seven-year Tribulation Period, a political leader will emerge from the ashes of the Roman Empire, seize control of the reigns of global power, and then use that power to unleash a worldwide persecution of Christians and Jews that will result in the deaths of millions. For most of my lifetime, the whole idea sounded preposterous. The world, at the time I entered it, had just emerged victorious from having vanquished just such a foe. Indeed, during the Second World War, there were plenty of books sold naming Adolph Hitler as the antichrist and Italian dictator Benito Mussolini as his false prophet, so closely did the Axis resemble Revelation’s picture of the unholy alliance. But Hitler wasn’t the antichrist. He persecuted the Jews, but the Bible says that, under the real antichrist, he will persecute the Jews of Israel, who will inhabit Jerusalem. And Hitler tried to seize control of the whole world. The Bible says that the antichrist will have it handed to him, just as Germany handed control of itself over to Hitler. Hitler didn’t control the global propaganda machine, just the one in Germany. Still, propaganda proved its power. In a single generation, Hitler was able to transform the most cultured nation in Europe into a nation of bloodthirsty murderers. In a single generation, German Jews went from being treasured members of the German population to subhumans deemed fit only for fertilizer. The German propaganda machine was directly responsible for the murders of at least twelve million Jews, Gypsies, Slavs, mental patients, and others deemed unfit to live. Next door, Josef Stalin’s propaganda machine convinced the Russian people to murder some fifty million of their own for one reason or another. Russian propaganda was, to Western ears, laughable. But until the Berlin Wall collapsed, the average Russian believed that Russia invented everything worth having, and whatever the West had, we stole the designs from them. The Bible says that one day, someone will seize control of the spin machine and make it his own. It says that he will deceive a willing public only too happy to hear what they want to hear, even if it is obvious deception, because they WANT to believe it. The Apostle Paul, writing of the events leading up to the revelation of the antichrist, told the church at Thessalonica, “And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness” (2nd Thessalonians 2:11-12). This generation has been conditioned for the past fifty years to accept lies as truth, and to disparage truth as lies, if it tickles their ears and suits their bias. “For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only He who now letteth will let, until He be taken out of the way. And THEN shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of His mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of His coming.” The only thing standing in ‘that Wicked’s’ way is the Church. For now. As The Pillars of Civilization Become Unsteady, People Are Longing For An Unshakable Foundation – By Franklin Graham - https://harbingersdaily.com/as-the-pillars-of-civilization-become-unsteady-people-are-longing-for-an-unshakable-foundation/ The tragic collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore in late March sadly claimed the lives of at least six people, including construction workers who had been repairing potholes on the bridge. Since it opened in 1977, the 1.6-mile bridge along I-695 had become a critical link for more than 30,000 vehicles traveling daily to places like Washington, Philadelphia and New York. The four-lane bridge, an architectural marvel, stretched across the Baltimore Harbor and its bustling shipping channels. Had the 985-foot-long cargo ship struck the bridge during rush hour or midday instead of the wee hours of the morning, the human carnage would have been unthinkable. As it is, this maritime disaster at the 20th largest port in the nation could have severe economic and supply chain implications for years to come. As I think about the ripple effect of consequences for local commuters in Maryland and the transportation industry at large, I’m reminded how some strategically placed bridges are an economy’s lifeline, both globally and domestically. If you think about, it could be said that the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association is in the bridge-building business—connecting people to Almighty God exclusively through repentance and faith in His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. In fact, every person who makes a decision for Christ at one of our Festivals, Celebrations or Tour events receives our Living in Christ discipleship booklet, which includes a diagram that illustrates how the cross of Christ bridges the vast chasm between us and God, and how we can cross the bridge through repentance and faith. Although Baltimore transportation has been rerouted, albeit at a snail’s pace, following the collapse of the bridge, BGEA’s mission has no alternate route. After all, Jesus declared in John 14:6: “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” And like the emergency responders who warned drivers to turn away from the impending doom of the collapsed bridge, I am compelled by God’s love to warn and encourage people across the U.S. and around the globe to repent of their sins by turning from the wide path that leads to destruction and instead follow Christ’s narrow path to God’s forgiveness and healing. I praise God for the thousands of people along the U.S. southern border who responded to the proclamation of the life-saving Gospel during our recent 10-city God Loves You Frontera Tour. As of the writing of this column, I’m preparing to preach in Krakow, Poland, about the Good News of Jesus coming to Earth on a rescue mission for those drowning in a sea of hopelessness under the weight of their sin. By late April, my son Will will have returned from preaching in Portugal that the cross of Christ is humanity’s one and only bridge to God and life everlasting. And in June, I will be preaching in England and Scotland “ … that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures,” (1 Corinthians 15:3-4). I was amazed by the video footage of how the bridge in Baltimore, forged with tons of steel and concrete, crumpled like a piece of paper in a matter of seconds when the container ship collided with one of its massive support columns. Unlike man-made bridges that collapse under extreme forces, Jesus bore the weight of humanity’s sins—past, present and future. The Son of God, who never once sinned, shed His blood and died for every single one of our trespasses—“for the wages of sin is death,” (Romans 6:23). Yet the grave could not hold our Savior and Lord, whose resurrection power remains alive and well. “For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive” (1 Corinthians 15:22). While longstanding pillars of civilization become increasingly unsteady with society’s rejection of God’s Word as absolute truth, people are longing for an unshakable foundation. That’s why the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association will not relent or retreat in declaring “The name of the Lord is a strong tower; The righteous run to it and are safe” (Proverbs 18:10). As our country observed the annual National Day of Prayer on May 2, may we continue to faithfully intercede daily on behalf of our nation, its leaders and lost souls everywhere. I still believe that God longs to fulfill His promise and answer the prayers of His people if they are willing to humble themselves, and pray and seek His face, and turn from their wicked ways (2 Chronicles 7:14). Daily Jot: The stones of hate crying out - Bill Wilson – www.dailyjot.com How can institutions of higher learning, across America be subjected to and tolerant of the demonstrations supporting Palestinian terrorism against Jews? This hatred is spreading across the country under the false notion and mindset of human rights violations by the so-called “Jewish occupation.” It is the irrational moral equivalency of “Palestinian” terrorism justified by “Jewish” occupation. Israel is a legitimate nation. Palestine is a movement to end Israel and commit genocide of the Jewish people. The Palestinian movement is accusing Israel of what the Islamic terrorists are actually doing and intend to do. Their mantra “From the river to the sea” can be interpreted no other way than promoting genocide. Persian scholar al-Bukkhari compiled some 7,563 hadith narrations, or prophetic traditions, of the prophet Muhammad. It is considered the foremost authority on the hadith of Muhammad. In it Bukkhari 52:177 states, The Hour will not be established until you fight with the Jews, and the stone behind which a Jew will be hiding will say, “Oh Muslim! There is a Jew hiding behind me, so kill him.” The Quran contains at least 109 verses that call Muslims to war with nonbelievers for the sake of Islamic rule. The root of Palestinian terror and hatred against Jews is not found in the land they claim is “occupied” by Jews, but rather it is foundational to the Islamic faith. This hatred is carried in the Quran. It is here in America. The demonstrations supporting Palestinian terrorism on college campuses are not spontaneous uprisings from the grassroots. They are organized and paid for by various non-profits standing against Israel and Jews. Case in point is the US Palestinian Community Network (USPCN), founded in 2006 to unite the Palestinian community in the US demanding self-determination of the “Palestinian” people “from the river to the sea.” USPCN organizes “protests and direct actions against Zionist institutions and individuals.” USPCN works with Black Lives Matter groups, Students for a Democratic Society and other radical, socialist and communist organizations. Other groups, reportedly funded by leftist George Soros, are paying protestors up to $7,800 for eight hours of protest organizing work, according to the New York Post. Isaiah 5:20 says, “Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!.” This ready-made pipeline of radicals fomented over the years by Barack Obama’s and Joe Biden’s open immigration of people from extremist Islamic countries has marshalled into an antisemitism, anti-American, pro-genocide mob. They say they stand for human rights, but want to eliminate Israel. They embrace the allusion of stones crying out against the Jewish people. They are violent and unreasonable. They define the right of self-defense as genocide, unless they are the ones doing it. They stand on the podium of hate. This is the type of hate that can be neither appeased nor tolerated. They practice hate speech, and it falls in the streets. Our nation is in jeopardy. Sources: https://uspcn.org Daily Devotion: Worship the Right God - by Greg Laurie – www.harvest.org For God is Spirit, so those who worship him must worship in spirit and in truth. —John 4:24 https://harvest.org/resources/devotion/worship-the-right-god/ - Listen Some people like to envision a meek and mild Jesus who walks around with a lamb draped around His neck, saying, “Whatever you want to believe is cool with Me—as long as you’re true to yourself.” However, that isn’t the Jesus of the Bible. When He spoke with the woman at Jacob’s well in Samaria, she said, “So tell me, why is it that you Jews insist that Jerusalem is the only place of worship, while we Samaritans claim it is here at Mount Gerizim, where our ancestors worshiped?” (John 4:20 NLT). Jesus answered, “Believe me, dear woman, the time is coming when it will no longer matter whether you worship the Father on this mountain or in Jerusalem. . . . The time is coming—indeed it’s here now—when true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth. The Father is looking for those who will worship him that way” (verses 21, 23 NLT). He was saying, “Your form of belief is the wrong form. It is not going to lead you to God.” Jesus clarified the issue and brought it back home. He also pointed out that all religions are not true. He told the Samaritan woman, “You Samaritans know very little about the one you worship, while we Jews know all about him, for salvation comes through the Jews” (verse 22 NLT). It’s important that we worship the right God. People say things like, “I don’t feel like I need to go to church. I feel like I can commune with God in the great outdoors. I don’t like church.” Yet the Bible says that we must worship God both in spirit and in truth. We need to know that God established the church. The church isn’t perfect. It has its flaws. But Jesus set it up. And He has said that when His people gather, when we meet for Bible study and worship, He manifests His presence in a special way. Jesus said, “For where two or three gather together as my followers, I am there among them” (Matthew 18:20 NLT). That is worshipping God in truth. Having said that, we also must worship God in spirit. You can go to church every week but not really have a relationship with God. Jesus was saying to the Samaritan woman, “Let’s move away from the religion discussion and get back to the relationship discussion. This is about knowing God. If you want to know Him, then you can know Him right now.” She said, “I know the Messiah is coming—the one who is called Christ. When he comes, he will explain everything to us” (John 4:25 NLT). Then Jesus told her, “I am the Messiah!” (verse 26 NLT). It appears that at this moment, she believed instantaneously—despite her hardened heart and world-weariness. She immediately responded to Him. She accepted what Jesus said. And it softened her hardened heart. Maybe, like this woman, you have a hardened heart. There’s a void in your life that only God can fill. It is a thirst that only Jesus can quench.

IF YOU HAVE BEEN BLESSED THROUGH THIS MINISTRY, THEN WE ASK THAT YOU WOULD PLEASE REMEMBER PROPHECY UPDATE IN YOUR GIVING - WE ARE TRULY, TRULY, THANKFUL FOR YOUR SUPPORT WORTHY OF YOUR SUPPORT? One of the most reliable ways to determine if a ministry is worthy of your financial support is to examine its fruits. If Prophecy Update is keeping you informed, and if that information inspires you, and causes you to draw closer to the Lord, if Prophecy Update equips you with valuable information and knowledge to share with and encourage other believers, and open the eyes of non-believers, and if Prophecy Update keeps you connected to current events relating to Bible Prophecy, then you are partaking of the fruit produced through this ministry.

What on earth are you doing for Heaven's Sake? "Share in the Blessings and Rewards that will last Forever!" "Folks, it's all beginning to unravel. America is in more danger of falling than at any time in its history. But I believe Bible prophecy predicts this very decline. From this point on, we believers have to get serious. We are going to face discouragement, disillusionment and, most certainly, persecution in the time between now and the Rapture. But don't be discouraged or disillusioned. The coming turmoil will provide us unrivaled opportunities to share the good news of the Gospel. So be ready to share your faith and your hope with those who need Christ.
