debunking the myths
Anti-semitism only effects the Jewish people.
Anti-semitism is dislike or hatred against the Jewish people. The love of God does not allow for hatred of any people! Much less the chosen people of God!!
Anti-semitism grows like a cancer, spreading throughout a family, community, and nation.
A clear indication of unforgiveness is when you see someone who has offended you, (1) a bad feeling arises, (2) glad to hear if something bad happens to them, or (3) the offense immediately comes to mind. Many have these feelings toward the Jewish people without any awareness of why. Indifference and hatred are fruits of the wrong spirit.
All Jewish people are wealthy.
Our friends in Israel are not wealthy, in fact they have a rat race lifestyle just trying to get by. ‘ALL’ of anything is usually an exaggeration.
There is no place for believers in Israel.
Believers are needed more than ever to bring hope. Israel needs our strength to stand today. They need to know they are not alone. They are alone if we stay home.
Youth are under a constant spiritual barrage; with an inevitable IDF term, they struggle with oppression and lack of vision or hope.
Aren’t you in constant danger in Israel?
The media has a lot to do with our concept of reality. In Israel proper it is no more dangerous than any medium size city in the US and much less dangerous than the larger cities. There is a heightened danger in the West Bank or Gaza areas because of the hatred of Americans and Jews. However there are many IDF (Israeli Defense Force) outposts and checkpoints scattered throughout these particular areas to keep terrorist at bay.
Would it be safe to take my family to Israel at this time?
The most dangerous part of your journey statistically would be the drive from your house to the airport. Every terrorist attack gets worldwide headlines. If we were bombarded with every death that occurred from vehicle accidents in the U.S. we wouldn’t dare get in a car. We will always be safe in the center of God’s will.
Why is the work in Israel important?
Israel holds a special place as a prophetic people. Prophetic means to tell what is going to happen, like a prophet. Through Israel we can see the spiritual climate of the world – it is the center of the world. As time ticks down to the coming of the Messiah, the nations of the world will focus on Israel. Ezekiel 5:5
Why should I care about Israel?
God, the creator, neither slumbers or sleeps concerning Israel. Psalms 121:4
If we want to know our heavenly Father we will look into His eyes. He says that Israel is the apple of His eye, the very center of His eye. Zechariah 2:8 When we look at Israel we can see God. To be disconnected from Israel is to be disconnected from God.
Can I be neutral?
No! At some point everyone will make the choice to love or persecute the Jewish people. The silence of the world stated its position. The result was sickening.
How do we know that when the Bible refers to Israel, it is the physical nation of Israel and not exclusively the church?
If the sun stops shining and the moon and the stars fall out of order, then the seed of Israel (physical Israel) shall stop being a nation before Me! Jeremiah 31:35,36
I will not forget you… and I will save you and redeem you! Isaiah 49:14-26
