Christina Khader Ebada, a 3 year-old Assyrian girl, was abducted from her Christian family in northern Iraq as they fled Baghdeda, also known as Qaraqosh, according to the Assyrian International News Agency.

Another cease fire in the ongoing war, good vs. evil; Ishmael against Isaac.

Will it hold?    According to scripture,  NO!   But the folly of men dictates that wars and rumors of wars will continue until The Prince of Peace returns to make all things new.

Until then, we must share the gospel with both Jew and Gentile - we must pray for our brothers and sisters across the globe who are fighting the good fight of faith.  We must pray for those in prison for their faith in Yeshua.  We must plant seeds, or water seeds that others have planted so our Heavenly Father, Abba, can bring the increase.

Pray for the protection of Israel’s northern borders as well as for the communities of the southern borders that are under constant rocket bombardment. Pray Israel’s security sources will remain on high alert and prepared to avert projectile strikes from Syria and the Lebanese-based Hezbollah terrorist organization.!!!.

But most importantly, pray that Israel would bow her knee to their Saviour and soon coming King - Jesus Christ, Yeshua haMashiach,  the one true and living God.  That they would lift their eyes toward heaven and with one voice shout:

"Baruch haba B'shem Adonai."

Blessed is He Who comes in the Name of the LORD.

“In order for Israel’s security needs to be properly addressed, Hamas must cease to exist.


We that in mind, we soon realize; there really is no good solution to the multi-layered conflict being expressed in Israel and in Gaza right now; but the more accurate statement is that; given present conditions, there is no solution.

After Hamas, there are other intransigent enemies whose desire is the destruction of Israel and the Jewish people. We as believers know the conflict will end only when Messiah is sitting on His Throne in Jerusalem. Whereas in the past there were “breathers” between the contractions (to use the metaphor of labor and birth), now it appears that we are in a new season.

May the Lord God of Israel help us all.” KleinFax/Israel 

"Today it is fashionable to say that the Islam of the terrorist is not the real Islam  --- that the extremists have hijacked a religion of peace and turned it into a religion of aggression and terror. However, if you take the Quran literally, you should be a militant Muslim.  Anything else is to avoid its clear teachings."
Erwin Lutzer,
The Cross in the Shadow of the Cresent

As explained in the Sharia Law for Non-Muslims, "Islamic law is perfect, universal and eternal.  The laws of the United States are temporary, limited, and will pass away. It is the duty of every Muslim to obey the laws of Allah, the Sharia. US laws are man-made; while Sharia law is sacred and comes from the only legitimate god - Allah." 

"If the cross is to triumph over the crescent it will be not by might or by power but by God's Spirit."
Samuel Zwemer, Missionary to Muslims

PRAY FOR ISRAEL ---  As she continues her fight for survival - she fights also for the survival of free men everywhere, fighting against the ever encroaching fangs of the evils of Islam.

On a lighter note -  found this interesting and wanted to share -

Recently Pope Francis and PM Netanyahu discussed what language the Messiah, Jesus spoke. Francis said Aramaic, the PM, Hebrew.

Jesus was born a Jew to a Jewish maiden. Jesus was born in Bethlehem in the Roman-ruled region of Judea, now the Israeli-occupied West Bank. He grew up in Nazareth and ministered in Galilee, both in northern Israel, and died in Jerusalem, a city revered by Jews, Christians and Muslims, and to which Israelis and Palestinians lay claim.

Palestinians sometimes describe Jesus as a Palestinian. Israelis object to that.

“Jesus was a native Aramaic speaker,” but he would have also known Hebrew because there were extant religious writings in Hebrew.”

During Jesus’ time, Hebrew was spoken by the lower classes — “the kind of people Jesus ministered to.”

Nine years after 10,000 Jews were thrown out of their homes in Gush Katif in Gaza and in northern Samaria as part of former Prime Minister Ariel Sharon’s Disengagement plan, barely one third of Gush Katif refugees have found new permanent homes.





And what has been accomplished in Gaza since that time..???..

Hatred never takes a day off.!!.

A construction tractor in Jerusalem overturned a bus and a car in Jerusalem Monday afternoon in what is being called a terror attack.

The tractor, which was driven by a Palestinian terrorist, slammed into the bus around 1:40 pm. Thankfully, the bus was empty at the time but the driver was lightly injured when the bus overturned.

Six pedestrians who were standing near the bus were injured in the attack. One of the pedestrians, 30, who was critically injured, has died.

Update:   Lt. Hadar Goldin was declared killed in action and was buried this weekend.

Our hearts and prayers go out to all those that mourn this day in Israel and in Gaza.

Lt. Hadar Goldin, engaged to be married in six weeks, abducted this morning in Gaza.

How very different Israel is from Hamas, and yet the world stands in support of Hamas against Israel.

 

PLEASE pray for this young man and his family.
