"By Divine Grace (5), the Covenant is sealed (400) and refined by Fire (300), so that the Mouth (80) may speak and Hook (6) Heaven to Earth."
Month of Iyar
Month of Iyar and yesterday was the 16th day Iyar and this was the very day that Mannah fell from heaven and it was a supernatural superfood as it sustained the Jewish people for 40 years. Vs 4 I will rain bread from heaven for you. It was like wafers made of honey. This Mannah, this bread is compared to the Word of God it is the bread of life, it sustains us and satisfies our hunger. Just as the Jewish people had to go out every day and gather the Mannah so are we to get in the Word every day and be reminded of God’s promises, to draw close to Him, and be satisfied and at peace.
Shavuot (Pentecost – May 23, 2026) – Wheat Harvest
Pray to Dispelling the Lie that Israel Stole the Land they Now Inhabit; They Committed/Commit Genocide
Land Promise (Genesis 13:14-17): God promises Abraham and his descendants the land of Canaan as an everlasting possession.
"All the land that you see I will give to you [Abraham] and your offspring forever." (Gen. 13:15
2. “Israel Has No Right to the Land” (Covenant Denial)
Key Accusations:
*Zionism is political theft, not biblical fulfillment.
*Modern Israel stole land and is occupying it.
*“Palestine” is the rightful nation.
Spiritual Root:
To undermine the Abrahamic Covenant and God’s eternal promise to give the land to the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
Scriptural Response:
Genesis 17:7-8 — Everlasting covenant for the land.
Ezekiel 36 — God brings Israel back for His name’s sake.
Amos 9:15 — “They shall never again be uprooted.”
Historical Note:
Jews have maintained a continuous presence in the land for thousands of years; modern Israel was re-established through international law and legal land purchases.
Israel's initial divine right to the Land was not arbitrary, nor did God command the annihilation of races, without any other option for them.
Key passages: Judges 11. Deut. 1
Deut. 2 &7
The Seven Nations: Specific focus was placed on seven nations: the Hittites, Girgashites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites. He specifically included nations they were not to attack --Edom, Moab, and Ammon --unless they were attacked first and they were forced to defend themselves: – those three exceptions were distant relatives of the Israelites (Edom was Esau's descendants and Moab/Ammon were from Lot). (Deut. 2 &7)
Background passage: Judges 11: v.13The king of the Ammonites answered Jephthah’s messengers, “When Israel came up out of Egypt, they took away my land from the Arnon to the Jabbok, all the way to the Jordan. Now give it back peaceably.”
14 Jephthah sent back messengers to the Ammonite king, 15 saying:
“This is what Jephthah says: Israel did not take the land of Moab or the land of the Ammonites. 16 But when they came up out of Egypt, Israel went through the wilderness to the Red Sea and on to Kadesh. 17 Then Israel sent messengers to the king of Edom, saying, ‘Give us permission to go through your country,’ but the king of Edom would not listen. They sent also to the king of Moab, and he refused. So Israel stayed at Kadesh. - Judges 11
Why did God command Israel to Destroy these nations and take the Land:
1. God uses nations to discipline and displace ungodliness in other nations:
Behavioral Judgment: The acts of the Canaanites as stated in Leviticus 18 were particularly horrendous. These nations were being judged for their extreme wickedness, which had finally filled up, allowing Israel to take their place (Gen 15:16, Lev 18. According to Gen.15:16 – God waits patiently for nations to repent before punishing, until the extent of their wickedness reaches a certain threshold or “fullness of time”. In other words, God's command to destroy these nations was pointedly based upon their behavior, not their race.
Systemic Child Sacrifice: The primary "abomination" was the ritual burning of children, particularly firstborn sons, as offerings to the god Molech. Biblical and archaeological evidence points to infants being placed in the fire to obtain oracles or avert national disaster.
Extreme Sexual Perversion: While other nations were immoral, Canaanite worship was built around cultic prostitution and ritual orgies designed to encourage gods like Baal and Asherah to mate for fertile land. Leviticus 18 explicitly lists widespread incest, bestiality, and same-sex acts as reasons the land "vomited out" its inhabitants.
Widespread Occultism: The scriptures detail a high density of sorcery, divination, necromancy (consulting the dead), and witchcraft. These were viewed as willful rebellion that polluted the spiritual environment of the land.
Violence and Brutality: Canaanite mythology was characterized by deities who took joy in slaughter, which influenced their followers to engage in "demoralizing" and violent behaviors that were considered far worse than elsewhere in the region at the time.
Preventative Action: Another reason was to prevent the Israelites from adopting the "detestable" practices of these nations, such as child sacrifice and extreme immorality, which would turn them away from God.
The third reason was that God needed a homeland for the Jewish people – to preserve their race from constant demonic threat of annihilation, and eventually fulfill their destiny of bringing the Messiah into the world for all humanity and be a light to the Gentile nations (Is. 49:6). They are a special nation, as it says in Rom. 9:6 – theirs is “the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises. Theirs are the patriarchs, and from them is traced the human ancestry of the Messiah, who is God over all, forever praised! Amen.”
Outside Canaan: For distant nations, Israel was to first offer peace. If they accepted, they became servants; if they fought, males were killed but women and children were spared.
Grace for those who seek Him: Exceptions: Non-Israelites who followed God (like Rahab) or made peace (like the Gibeonites) were spared, indicating the judgment was behavioral/spiritual, not strictly racial.
Modern Accusations:
“Israel Has No Right to the Land” (Covenant Denial)
Key Accusations:
*Zionism is political theft, not biblical fulfillment.
*Modern Israel stole land and is occupying it.
Historical Note:
Jews have maintained a continuous presence in the land for thousands of years; modern Israel was re-established through international law and legal land purchases.
*Israel commits genocide, apartheid, ethnic cleansing.
Fact Check:
Israel has a right to self-defense under international law and makes great efforts to preserve civilian life, unlike Hamas which uses human shields.
Judeo Christian Zionist Congress
Judeo Christian zionist congress: advance the judeochristian values of western civilization
Antisemitism has infiltrated universities and churches
Theodore Hertzel – father of modern Zionism: concluded that Jewish freedom required a Jewish state
1897 – world zionist organization; political solutions and Jewish colonist efforts
Leading to the birth of Israel 1948
Created the Basil program: Zionism seeks to establish a home in Palestine, secured under public law.
Provided for the promotion of agriculture, tradesmen, etc. in 'Palestine'
Feeling and national consciousnesses
Sept. 3, 1897 – Basil Congress, “I've founded the Jewish state”
His actions were prophetic – cast the vision of the state of Israel
Zech.12:10 - would return to God only after they had returned to the Land
Ez.36:24-36: I will take you from the nations and bring you into your own land...I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you
Ez. 37 – the Valley of Dry bones
Gradual restoration until the whole nation comes to Jesus
Prayer
Propaganda (BDS campaign)
See, today I appoint you over nations and kingdoms to uproot and tear down, to destroy and overthrow, to build and to plant.” Jer. 1:9
“For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. 4 The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. 5 We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. 6 And we will be ready to punish every act of disobedience, once your obedience is complete.” - 2 Cor. 10:3
Other international businesses have been hit, for being too closely aligned with Israel:
The movement is largely driven by the Palestinian-led Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement and grassroots social media campaigns. [1, 2]
McDonald's: This became a major target after its local Israeli franchise, Alonyal Ltd., donated thousands of free meals to the Israeli military shortly after the war began. This sparked a massive backlash in Muslim-majority countries like Malaysia and Egypt, where sales plummeted.
Update: In April 2024, McDonald's Corporation took the rare step of buying back all 225 Israeli restaurants from the local franchisee to regain control of the brand's local operations.
Starbucks: The coffee chain was targeted after it sued its workers' union over a "Solidarity with Palestine" social media post. Activists viewed the lawsuit as an attack on pro-Palestinian sentiment, leading to significant sales drops and stock price hits.
Other Brands: Brands like Coca-Cola, Pizza Hut, and Burger King have also faced "organic" grassroots boycotts due to perceived ties or actions of their local Israeli franchises
Consumers in the Middle East & Southeast Asia: Sales at Western fast-food chains in countries like Egypt, Jordan, and Malaysia have dropped by as much as 70% as locals switch to domestic alternatives.
Activists in Europe and North America: Protests and "buycott" apps (like "No Thanks") help consumers avoid brands listed as complicit by BDS organizers. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
Prayer:
Lord, we pray that You would shine light on all the web of the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions Campaign. Expose every spiritual, economic, and political root of it. Cut off their funding and disband their organizational network. Bring accountability to the lies that they perpetuate, and the spirit of antisemitism that sits at the root of all of it.
We bind up and cast down the powers, propaganda and lies of the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions Campaign (BDS) and similar efforts. Lord, express Your glory and power over Israel and fight on their behalf against every type of warfare – physical, psychological, financial, and others. Confound and disrupt the protests, demonstrations, and plans against Israel and Jewish people. We declare Isaiah 5:17 - “no weapon forged against you will prevail, and you will refute every tongue that accuses you. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and this is their vindication from me,” declares the LORD.”
The Dreyfus Affair
was a political scandal that divided the Third French Republic from 1894 until its resolution in 1906. The scandal began in December 1894 when Captain Alfred Dreyfus, a 35-year-old Alsatian French artillery officer of Jewish descent, was wrongfully convicted of treason for communicating French military secrets to the German Embassy in Paris. He was sentenced to life imprisonment and sent overseas to the penal colony on Devil's Island in French Guiana, where he spent the following five years imprisoned in very harsh conditions.
The real culprit was discovered – a high ranking officer, but Dreyfus was further condemned with added counterfeit documents.
In 1906 he was exonerated.
Encouragement toward radicalization.
The press played a critical role in shaping public perception.
Prayer:
Antisemitism in history to understand the present realities.
Amos 5:24 – let justice roll down
Encounter the One who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life
Flamethrower in Boulder, Colorado: We tear down this evil in our society; not find any justification for it.
This sparked vision in Hertzel for a homeland for the Jews.
Using what the enemy intended for evil.
Bless Women in Israel and Among the Jewish Community
Women in the Middle East continue to face discrimination, abuse, and hardship, especially among the Muslim community, but also among ultra-religious Jewish households, driven by a religious spirit and ultra-conservative interpretations of the law.
Personal-status laws in many countries restrict women's rights in marriage, divorce, and child custody, often requiring male guardianship.
Gender-based violence is a significant issue, with women facing risks of domestic abuse,
Traditional interpretations of Jewish religious texts can create rigid gender roles, limit participation in public life, and enforce modesty.
In the Jewish community, particularly within ultra-Orthodox circles, women face unique structural challenges rooted in religious law and social norms. Key issues include the agunah crisis, where women are "chained" to marriages because only men can grant a divorce, and the enforcement of strict modesty standards that can lead to social exclusion or the erasure of women from public media. While many women are the primary breadwinners for their families, they often lack representation in leadership and may face pressure to prioritize "peace in the home" over reporting abuse.
Jesus fundamentally challenged Jewish culture and tradition and elevated the status of women beyond second-class citizens or property:
He ignored taboos that forbade men from speaking to women in public (such as the woman at the well); He ignored “purity” laws that would have made him unclean when the menstruating women touched him and was made whole. He even gave honoring titles to women, such as “daughter of Abraham”.
In societies where Christianity reached, it altered the treatment of women, bringing them protection in marriage and the exploitation that society has historically dealt them.
Book: How Christianity Changed the World by Alvin J. Schmidt: He devotes a whole chapter to how Women received Freedom and Dignity in every culture where Christianity spread.
Abolished the practice of men having mistresses and the double standard of sexual behavior
Removing of enforcement of men wearing veils
Female and male babies valued as equal
Ended infanticide, esp. of baby girls
Ended polygamy
Child bride marriages ended.
Ending foot binding (China in 1912)
Clitoridectomy – female genital mutilation ended in countries with Christian influence.
Prayer:
Lord, we bless women in the Middle East and in Israel, especially in Muslim homes and ultra-orthodox homes. We pray that you would shine light on abuse, mistreatment, discrimination, and generally a lack of love and care. You are the defender of the widow and lifter of the weak.
Isaiah 40:29 "He gives power to the faint and increases the strength of the weak”
We pray that you would deliver and heal women of abuse and trauma. Encourage them, strengthen them, and embolden them to be everything You've called them to be.
We declare your Word over women: that they are co-heirs of the manifold promises of Christ, and share equal rights as your children. There is no barrier between races, economic status, or sex in the Body of Christ: “There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.” - Gal. 3:28
We submit to your Word: ““Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ” (Eph. 5:21)
We bless women in ministry throughout the land of Israel. Raise them up, Lord; cause them to have favor and influence as important parts in Your Body. Tear down bad theology, demonic influences, and traditions of men which have inhibited their voice and expression and a proper honoring of them. Build up a renewed mindset according to Your will and purposes that embraces their ministry, ordination, qualification, anointings, and callings in Your whole Body.
