Dear brothers and sisters in our Lord Jesus, part of the growing repentance remnant, cleansing as His Bride, getting ready for His soon return as our Bridegroom-----
Of course it's time to pray. Keep praying as the Lord leads. And can Almighty God speak to you and me during a horrific war, as is now the case in Israel? Yes, of course. In the middle of this tragedy He is teaching us, personally, and as nations; He is cleansing His Bride, all over His Planet, lighting up, in Israeli colors, the Eiffel Tower in Paris, the Empire State Building in New York, and the Opera House in Sydney. Israel and Israelis are prayed for and lit up---sent compassion and love--- as never before. Antisemitism---so wickedly prevalent in Roman Christianity---is starting to be removed. A Times Square demonstration for "Palestinians" brings public disgust in Congress and in the media.
Here are 41 key facts on Israel and this war, put together by Dr. Jim Garlow of the Well Versed ministry and our NDR director, Terry Barnes:
There are 41 facts you need to know about Israel and Hamas (based on what we know on Monday, October 9, 2023 at Noon Pacific Time):
- Number of rockets: estimates as low as 2,500, as high as 5,000.
- Number of innocent Israelis killed: 900, but still rising (many or most are civilians, including babies and elderly Holocaust survivors).
- Number of Israelis injured: 2,200 (and rising).
- Number kidnapped: not known, but reportedly between 100-180.
- Number of young girls kidnapped whose bodies were cut to pieces: reportedly, one that is known, so far.
- Number of known little Israeli boys who were whipped in public by Hamas while he was crying “Mamma:” reportedly, one that is known, so far.
- Number of Palestinian Muslim terrorist/mass murderers supported by Iran that came into Israel: reportedly between 800-1,000.
- Number of points at which they made entry in Israel: approximately 80.
- Number of Israeli communities attacked: 20.
- Number of Israeli military bases attacked: 11.
- Name of the Operation by Hamas (and Iran): “The Al-Aqsa Storm.”
- Official name of Hamas: Islamic Resistance Movement.
- Religion of Islamic Resistance Movement: Islam, obviously.
- Name that one gets called by Leftists for pointing that out: Islamophobic.
- Nation sponsoring the mass murderers: Iran.
- Official state religion of Iran: Islam, Shia.
- Name that one gets called by Leftists for pointing that out: Islamophobic.
- Amount of dollars sent in cash to Iran by Obama in 2016: $1.7 Billion.
- (Repeating for emphasis) The nation sponsoring the mass murders of Israeli citizens: Iran.
- Amount of dollars approved to be unfrozen and sent to Iran by Biden as of September 2023: $6 Billion.
- (Repeating for emphasis) The nation sponsoring the mass murder of Israeli citizens: Iran.
- Persons complicit with supporting Iran, the No. 1 state sponsor of mass killing, pain and suffering: Obama and Biden, and by extension, the U.S.A.
- Appropriate response from us as citizens of the U.S.A. for the sins of our presidents: Repentance.
- Primary religion in Israel: Jewish, but others are allowed.
- Name for the hatred of Jews: Antisemitism.
- Most number of Jews killed in one day since the Holocaust (1941-45) 80 years ago: Saturday, October 7, 2023, by Iran and its proxies.
- Leader of the killer of Jews 80 years ago: Hitler
- Leader of the killer of Jews now: Iran (via Hezbollah, Hamas and many other groups)
- Most consistently hated, killed, murdered people-group throughout history: The Jews
- Why are the Jews hated: Because they remind people of YHWH, God (The Jews gave us the Torah, the teaching, the Law, the Prophets, the teaching regarding a Messiah), and if there is a God, then people are not god, and since there is a God, there is a moral law, and people do not want to follow a moral law, because they want to make themselves god. THAT IS WHY THE JEWS ARE HATED. THEY REMIND PEOPLE THERE IS A GOD.
- What the Jews want: A tiny piece of land which compromises only 1/3 of 1% of all the Middle East, on which they can live in peace.
- % of land of the Middle East which the Muslims have: 99.6% of the land in the Middle East.
- What the Islamic jihadists want: All Jews to be killed.
- % of the world’s population that is Jewish: 16 million or 2/10ths of 1% of 8 billion
- % of the world’s population that is Muslim: 1.7 billion or 21% of 8 billion.
- Amount of land promised by God in the Bible to Israel: from the Nile to the Euphrates, or approximately 300,000 square miles.
- Most amount of land Israel had (which was under King David): approximately 200,000 square miles.
- Amount of land Israel has now: approximately 8,100 square miles, a tiny fraction of what God promised in the Bible.
- Countries and persons supporting Israel now: Most nations and most persons (but how long will this support last?)
- Countries and persons who will continue to support Israel over the next few days AFTER Israel does what it must do to Hamas: not certain. Watch capitulating nations and Neville Chamberlain-type persons start to criticize Israel for doing what it must do. For the rest of us, stand firm with Israel.
- Major calling: Pray for the peace of Jerusalem.
********************************
As well, the ICEJ will be hosting its Global Prayer Gathering DAILY until further notice."We are committed to stand with Israel in prayer. We would love for you to join us for timely updates, prayer, and worship. Please join us daily at 9:00 a.m. (ET) at on.icej.org/ICEJGlobalPrayer."
In addition to prayer, this war calls each of us to check with the Holy Spirit to see if we truly are in the Eternal Kingdom. Traditional church has invited lukewarmness; the Lord calls us instead to be zealous to repent; only individual discipleship counts. Decide today to follow the urging of Yeshua: "Repent, the kingdom of heaven is at hand." (Matthew 4:17). Don't perish; repent. (Luke 13:2-5). Every human was created by God for eternity. The question is: where will you spend it? With Him, or without Him?
"Repent" was not only Yeshua's first Word when He preached (Matthew 4:17); Preaching repentance was His first Instruction to His disciples (Mark 6:12). And shortly before He ascended, preaching repentance as well as remission of sins was His commandment to His first disciples, and to you and me today (Luke 24:47).
In the midst of this surprise attack on Israel, during a holy celebration, the LORD is in control and can turn all that is wicked to good. He will always prevail.
" When the enemy comes in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD will lift up a standard against him. The Redeemer will come to Zion, And to those who turn from transgression in Jacob,' says the LORD. 'As for Me,' says the LORD, 'this is My covenant with them: My Spirit who is upon you, and My words which I have put in your mouth, shall not depart from your mouth, nor from the mouth of your descendants, nor from the mouth of your descendants' descendants,' says the LORD,' from this time and forevermore.'"
Isaiah 59:19b-21.
Let's Pray: Almighty God awaken all to Your gift of repentance. Israel is Your Land and Your Chosen People. May its leaders have Your Wisdom in defeating this attack. Turn all that is evil to Your good. Please pour out Your wisdom for Israel’s leaders. Protect those who are protecting and defending Israel. Protect the citizens of Israel from violence and destruction. Even during this war, may the tragedy open minds and hearts, on both sides, to find You, to enter Your Kingdom, and receive through Your Holy Spirit Your peace that passes all understanding. We pray In Yeshua/Jesus' Holy Name, the Name above all names, Amen and Amen.
*******************
Do you see His Gift of repentance and the need to spread it to all persons, everywhere? Please pray to the Lord if He will have you join us in prayers and needed support. NDR exists, without church or denomination support, to encourage His Gift of repentance to pastors and nations everywhere. We depend on you gifts, of whatever amount, to seed into this urgent move of His repentance. Thank you!
God bless you,
