The latest update on Israel and the Middle East from
author/speaker and former Knesset member Avi Lipkin.
"Then He opened their minds to understand the Scriptures."
(Luke 24:45)
Les continues his walk through the Bible helping us
to connect the dots within the Holy Scriptures.
"For the love of money is a root to all kinds of evil, which some, stretching after,
have been seduced away from the faith and have pierced themselves with many sorrows."
(1 Timothy 6:10)
During his meeting with President Donald Trump at the White House today,
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu apologized to Qatari Prime
Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani for Israel's recent strike on
his nation that killed a Qatari service member and violated Qatari sovereignty.
According to a report in The Times Of Israel, it is possible that Israel may
pay compensation to the family of the guard killed in the raid.
The Times also reports that Netanyahu's apology is central to the current
effort to finalize a deal to end the war in Gaza and secure the release of all
hostages since Qatar has been refusing to mediate negotiations with Hamas
since the Israeli strike, which targeted but failed to kill several of the
terrorist groups' leaders in Doha.
During the three way phone call, Benjamin Netanyahu vowed
that such an air strike would never happen again.
Was the Qatari leader then prompted to apologize to Netanyahu for protecting
the leadership of Hamas in the first place? Did he express regret over and
and apologize to Israel for the massacre of over 1900 Israeli citizens-men,
women, children and babies- and for the taking of over 250 hostages
by Hamas terrorists nearly two years ago?
Did he further express remorse over the hundreds of courageous IDF soldiers
who have lost their lives defending their people and nation in an ongoing
conflict which they did not start? Of course not!
Businessman Trump is apparently so bedazzled by the trillion dollar nest egg
on which the nation of Qatar sits-the intoxicating "wine of Babylon"- a.k.a
oil, that it seems to have slipped his mind that this revenue not only shelters
the head honchos of Hamas in the lap of luxury, but has sent billions of funds
to America's colleges and universities so ignorant, self-entitled useful idiots
can hold protests, spewing anti-Israel, pro-Hamas slogans, while chasing
and attacking Jewish students on campus. Oh, and let's not forget the maps
of the Middle East, courtesy of America's 'friend' and 'ally' Qatar, sent to
public schools in New York and Texas. Maps that show no Israel.
Furthermore, you believe that the ultimate goal of your 20-point peace plan will
bring 'eternal peace" to the Middle East? Perhaps you should instead seriously
consider the eternal consequences of dividing God's land, Mr. President.
In this fourth episode, filmed on a hotel roof top in Jerusalem during the
Feast of Tabernacles, Zola and Dr. Thomas McCall review Passover and
discuss how God reminded the children of Israel of the Land Covenant.
Zola also talks to representatives from Operation Exodus and to Jewish
immigrants from the former Soviet Union coming home to Israel.
Filmed on location in Jericho, Zola and Dr. Thomas McCall
discuss the time in history when the children of Israel entered
the Promised Land. In an interview with Jeane Kirkpatrick,
former UN Ambassador, she expresses her admiration for
Israel's ability to protect itself.
"Arise; for the Lord hath delivered into your hand the host of Midian."
(Judges 7:15)
PSALM 76
God is known in Judah;
His name is great in Israel.
His tent is in Salem
His dwelling place in Zion.
There He shatters the flaming arrows,
the shield and sword and weapons of war.
Selah, (pause and calmly think of that!)
You are resplendent with light,
more majestic than mountains filled with game.
The valiant lie plundered; they sleep their last sleep.
No men of might could lift a hand,
At Your rebuke, O God of Jacob,
both horse and rider lie stunned.
You alone are to be feared.
When You are angry, who can stand before You?
From heaven You pronounced judgment,
and the earth feared and was still
when God rose up to judge,
to save all the lowly of the earth.
Selah, (pause and calmly think of that!)
Even the wrath of man shall praise You,
with the survivors of wrath You will clothe Yourself.
Make and fulfill your vows to the LORD your God;
let all the neighboring lands bring tribute
to Him who is to be feared.
He breaks the spirits of princes;
He is feared by the kings of the earth.

"I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name
great, so that you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you and curse
those who curse you; and all the families of the earth will be blessed through you."
(Genesis 12:2-13)
"I will not allow Israel to annex the West Bank.
I will not allow it. It is not going to happen."
-President Donald Trump
Our President says he "will not allow" Israel to claim
sovereignty over Judea and Samaria?
Judea and Samaria is the heart of biblical Israel-
land divinely bequeathed to the Jewish people by God Himself!
One of the reasons why I voted for President Trump last year is because
he said he was a supporter and friend of Israel. Now I am concerned that he
is seeking to appease the leaders of the oil-rich Arab and Muslim nations he met with
on Thursday, among which were Qatar and Turkey-definitely no friends of Israel!
The Lord said to Abraham in Genesis, "And I will establish my covenant between
me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant...
And I will give unto thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land wherein thou art a
stranger, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession, and I will be their God."
(Genesis 17:7-8)
If there was ever a time for believers in Christ to stand with
the people and nation of Israel, it is right now!
Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem and the salvation of Israel.
Maranatha!
My soul is awakened, my spirit is soaring
And carried aloft on the wings of the breeze;
For above and around me the wild wind is roaring,
Arousing to rapture the earth and the seas.
The long withered grass in the sunshine is glancing,
The bare trees are tossing their branches on high;
The dead leaves, beneath them, are merrily dancing,
The white clouds are scudding across the blue sky.
I wish I could see how the ocean is lashing
The foam of its billows to whirlwinds of spray;
I wish I could see how its proud waves are dashing,
And hear the wild roar of their thunder today!"

Anne Bronte
(1820-1849)
English novelist and poetess
"You'll find that life is still worthwhile...if you just smile."
The great actor and comedic genius Charlie Chaplin was also an accomplished,
self-taught musician, who composed the instrumental theme, "Smile" for his
1936 movie, "Modern Times". The words to this song were later added
by lyricists John Turner and Geoffrey Parsons.
"Smile" became an instant and memorable hit for the legendary
Nat King Cole after he recorded the song in 1954.
This song has always reminded me of the importance of putting on a smile,
even when there is not much to smile about these days. Like the funny character
and silent film legend, the "Little Tramp" immortalized by Chaplin, "Smile" brings
a message of hope and resilience to the listener and what the armor of a smile,
and even laughter can do in the face of adversity, heartache, and sadness.
"What has been will be again, and what has been done will be done again;
there is nothing new under the sun."

"For with the same judgment you pronounce, you will be judged,
and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you."
(Matthew 7:2)
Dishonest scales are an abomination to the LORD,
but an accurate weight is His delight.
When pride comes, disgrace follows,
but with humility comes wisdom.
The integrity of the upright guides them,
but the perversity of the faithless destroys them.
Genuine righteousness leads to life
but the pursuit of evil brings death.
The perverse in heart are an abomination to the LORD,
but the blameless in their walk are His delight.
Be assured that the wicked will not go unpunished,
but the offspring of the righteous will escape.
He who brings trouble on his house will inherit the wind,
and the fool will be servant to the wise of heart.
The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life,
and he who saves souls is wise.
(Proverbs 11: 1-4; 20-21;29-30)
An inspiring message from Messianic Rabbi Zev Porat in Israel.
In this heartfelt prayer and reflection, we pause to remember the
unfathomable love of Christ-the kind of love that endured the nails,
the mockery, the rejection...not because He had to, but He chose to.
For me. For you. For the world.
Did the serpent in the Garden of Eden actually have legs?
Was it just a snake-or something far more sinister?
In this eye-opening Bible teaching, an ancient mystery
is revealed about the serpent, Satan's role in the Fall,
and the powerful prophecy that still echoes today.
"Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of drunkeness to all the surrounding people.
Judah will be besieged as well as Jerusalem. And in that day I will make Jerusalem
a burdensome stone for all the people; all that burden themselves will be cut in
pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered against it."
(Zechariah 12:2-3)
PSALM 75
We give thanks to You, O God;
we give thanks, for Your Name is near.
The people declare Your wondrous works.
When I choose a time, I will judge fairly.
When the earth and all its dwellers quake,
it is I who bears up its pillars.
Selah, pause and calmly think.
I say to the proud, "Do not boast"
and to the wicked, "Do not lift up your horn,
Do not lift up your horn against heaven
or speak with an outstretched neck."
For exaltation comes neither from east nor west,
nor out of the desert,
but it is God who judges;
He brings down one and exalts another.
For a cup is in the hand of the LORD,
full of foaming wine mixed with spices.
He pours from His cup,
and all the wicked of the earth
drink it down to the dregs.
But I will proclaim Him forever;
I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.
"All the horns of the wicked I cut off,
but the horns of the righteous will be exalted."
"Do you not know that you yourselves are God's temple and that God's Spirit
dwells in you? If anyone destroys God's temple, God will destroy him;
for God's temple is holy and you are that temple."
(1 Corinthians 3:16-17)
The workman (or woman) whose aim is to please God and not man, whose one
ambition is to exalt Christ in all his (or her) service, who labors for the perfecting
of the Saints, the edifying of the body of Christ, builds that which
is durable and which can never perish.
The workman who pleases men, seeks the applause of man,
uses the means and schemes of the world to carry on what is called,
"Christian work" and in it all is not obedient to the Word of God, builds
that which is worthless and his work will perish.
A day is coming in which each man's work shall be made manifest.
The day is the day of Christ when all believers shall appear
before the judgment seat of Christ.
He is a consuming fire; and before Him whatever is of man and not of Himself will
be burned up. The fire shall try every man, who is a believer saved by grace, work
of what sort it is. Then those who toiled in an unostentatious way, who built upon
one foundation that which glorifies Him, whose work was done in faith, shall find
that their work abides and they will receive their own reward.
The others will see their work go up in smoke. They shall suffer loss.
There is no reward for them. They shall be saved, yet so as by fire.
Like Lot who escaped out of Sodom; but all that he had wrought in Sodom,
his righteous soul being vexed, was burned up. But the salvation the believer
has is independent of his service and work. Every believer will be saved and
live, though what he wrought may be found in that day only fit for the fire.
And the building of which the Apostle speaks is the church, the temple of God,
the habitation of God through the Spirit.
God's Holy Spirit is dwelling in every member of the body. The temple of God is holy
and such are ye. Then the solemn warning, "if any man destroy (not defile) the temple
of God, him shall God destroy."
God's temple in which He dwells, the church, is founded on His truth.
The destruction of that temple means therefore the denial of the truth of God
or the introduction of false doctrines; critics of the Word, who deny the
fundamentals of the faith have well been called, "destructive".
They are the enemies of the cross, whose end is perdition.
They are not saved as by fire, but God is going to deal with them in an awful judgment.
In the professing church today are uncountable numbers, who have crept in unawares:
they were never born again and therefore they work corruption and will perish.
Therefore, "let no man deceive himself."
The Corinthians were setting aside the wisdom of the Spirit and were being seduced
by the wisdom of the world, which is foolishness with God. They marred the temple
of God by their carnal spirit, trusting in men and glorifying men.
In God's gracious purpose as revealed by the Spirit of God all things were theirs.
Paul, Apollos, and Cephas were the chosen instruments of God for blessing them.
As believers they had all things and belong to none but Christ
and through Christ to God Himself.
