"For whosoever shall call upon the name of the LORD shall be saved."
(Romans 10:13)
O, the depths of the riches
of the wisdom and knowledge of God!
How unsearchable are His judgments,
and untraceable His ways!
Who has known the mind of the Lord?
Or who has been His counselor?
Who has first given to God,
that God should repay him?
For from Him and through Him
and to Him are all things.
To Him be the glory forever!
Amen.
(Romans 11:33-36)
Paga (Pa-gah) is the Hebrew word for "Intercessor". It is a primary root,
with the meaning of coming between, to cause to entreat, meet together,
pray, and make intercession. Seven hundred years before the birth
of the Messiah, the prophet Isaiah wrote,
"Therefore I will allot Him a portion with the great, and He will divide the spoils with
the strong, because He has poured out His life unto death, and He was numbered with the
transgressors. Yet He bore the sin of many and made intercession for the transgressors."
(Isaiah 53:12)
The apostle Paul reminds us that Jesus is the ultimate Intercessor:
"Therefore He is able to save completely those who draw near to God through Him,
since He always lives to intercede for them."
(Hebrews 7:25)
"He who walks in integrity and practices righteousness,
who speaks the truth from his heart."
(Psalm 15:2)

"There hath no temptation taken you but such is common to man;
but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above
that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way
to escape, that ye may be able to bear it."
(1 Corinthians 10:13)
Les continues his teaching of Paul's first letter to the assembly in Corinth, in which
the apostle addresses and upbraids the congregation for their aberrant practices.
"Blessed be the Lord my strength, which teacheth my hands
to war and my fingers to fight; My goodness and my fortress,
my high tower, my deliverer; my shield, and He in whom I trust."
(Psalm 144:1-2)
Forever blessed be the LORD,
My Savior and my Shield;
He sends His Spirit with His Word,
To arm me for the field.
When sin and hell their forces unite,
He makes my soul His care,
Instructs me to the heav'nly fight,
And guards me through the war.
A Friend and Helper so divine
Does my weak courage raise;
He makes the glorious victory mine,
And His shall be the praise.
"Forever Blessed Be The Lord"

A Forgotten Christian Presence On The Temple Mount?
In this episode of Israel My Channel, our gracious host reveals one
of the most electrifying hidden chapters in Temple Mount history-
the dramatic moment when the Dome of the Rock was seized and
turned into a Christian church during the Crusader era, complete
with altars, crosses, and sacred rituals inside its walls.
But the story goes even deeper. Recent archaeological finds have
discovered compelling evidence that a Byzantine church may have
already stood on this most holiest of places centuries earlier.
