Mispresenting Netanyahu's Word on Jesus and Genghis Kahn

For ALL of those caught up in the lying narrative about Israeli PM Netanyahu comparing Jesus and Genghis Kahn - get a grip on reality and quit letting the devil use you to spread antisemitism.

You do understand that most of Israel is YET unsaved, right? They are not going to know the ultimate power of Yeshua triumphing over evil until they are saved - but the promises of God throughout the Bible, including the new Testament where Paul spent three chapters (9-11) explaining all this to the Italian believers in Rome - "all Israel shall be saved."

BUT Benjamin Netanyahu said NOTHING evil against Jesus Christ. What he did is speak a truth that believers in God has struggled with from the beginning of all faith in the One True God: If there is a God watching over us, why do bad things happen us? Why doesn't God stop the genocides, the deaths of believers in places like Iran right now? Solomon and Job both questioned the same thing. And that is the full extent of what Netanyahu was observing of the evil deaths caused by evil people throughout history that was not stopped except that it was met with like physical force - the bombs of Hiroshima, the battle of Iwo Jima. That's all that Netanyahu was commenting on, he was not slurring Jesus Christ. He was saying "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing"

You must not listen to antisemitic voices misrepresenting the Israeli Prime Minister, but learn the context for yourselves: In a March 2026 televised meeting, Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu stated, "history proves that, unfortunately and unhappily, Jesus Christ has no advantage over Genghis Khan because if you are strong enough, ruthless enough, powerful enough, evil will overcome good."

After the uproar of misinterpretation framing this statement as derogatory against Jesus, PM Netanyahu denied that his intent was to insult or denigrate Christians. Netanyahu has NEVER been that guy! He has always said Christians were Israel's best friend.

Do not misrepresent this and turn your followers into haters of Israel over a lying narrative some would like to suck you into.

Life's Journey

 Life's Journey

As I was waking up God reminded me of one of my favorite passages from Isaiah the first year I came back to faith. It is Isaiah 43:1-2

Now this is what the LORD says—He who created you, O Jacob, and He who formed you, O Israel: “Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; you are Mine! When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you go through the rivers, they will not overwhelm you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be scorched; the flames will not set you ablaze.

Before I returned to the Lord in the Fall of 1983, when I read the Bible I couldn't understand it at all. It just seemed like it was jumping around incoherently to me. I came to God when I was 12 and rarely was in church after that, and when I was, it was not by my choice, but begrudgingly by someone else's choice.

But when I returned to God in 1983, at Tony's urging to go to a church he saw on TV where healing was taking place - which he needed very badly - this time I went willingly. I heard the Word of Faith, saw miracles, my faith arose, I experienced God's Presence for the first time that I knew of, and I experienced a physical healing I needed. Last but not least, I received a baptism of the Holy Spirirt - as they used to say: "with the evidence of speaking in tongues."

The tongues did not come at first, but about 3 months in, when I was in my room at home listening to worship music and do some artwork. All of a sudden tongues 'bubbled up" and spilled out of my mouth. I was so startled and delighted, I ran into my makeup table to write down phonetically the tongues words I heard. The only word I remember still is "Hoshiana".

"Hoshiana (or Hoshia Na, הוֹשִׁיעָה־נָּא) is a Hebrew phrase meaning "save, please" or "save now". It is a passionate plea for salvation or help, originating from Psalm 118:25 and commonly used in Jewish prayers, particularly during the Sukkot festival, and famously transliterated into Greek as "Hosanna" in the New Testament."

I read the Bible cover to cover about 5 times the first year - devouring every word like the spiritually starving person I was. Now at 31, for the first time in my life the words of the Bible made sense to me. It wasn't a hodge-podge of unrelated statements, it was a living word, and the living words jumped off the page into me as I read so many things that went straight to my needy heart.

Tony's father, who would become my father-in-law in soon afterwards, saw my hunger for God's Word and made an investment in it. He was a Catholic, born again in his latter years. He was retired from owning retail stores and worked in his sister's Bible Book store. PopPop brought me a ton of reference books - Strong's Exhaustive, Hebrew and Greek Lexicon, Wilmington's Guide to the Bible...and so many more. That started my deep dive into Bible study from the beginning.

It is good to revisit where we began. We lose sight of that decades down the line of our lives. I fell asleep last night thinking about who I was in my twenties, and it was not comforting. But in the context of who I was when I came to faith in my 30's, then remembering afterwards living through the many crushing times one's life can bring.

It can be a great comfort to reflect on the reality that the God who held you in His hand when you were only a child crying out for Divine help, and Who held you through perilous years when you were self-destructing far away from Him. And now even with a roller coaster of personal history with God, in advanced years, He is still there saying, "For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11

In that first year of restored faith God showed me His faithfulness to Israel so I would know that same faithfulness was for me. You may have have been perfect throughout your life; I have not. It is not about comparing myself to your life, it is about seeing God's love for Israel as equal to His love for me. Selah. Although the Church assesses itself as "perfect" in comparison to Israel, it is not. When we can see that our history with God is just as pock-marked as Israel's, then we will let go of that which is blinding us to God's love and faithfulness to Israel. We will love it that God loves Israel and not resent His faithfulness to them. Selah.

Arrows Summary 2026 Mar 20 War Wears On

 WAR WEARS ON
BUT Israelis Overwhelmingly Support
Keeping up the Pressure on Iran
Here's why:

Summary of Prayer Requests from Israeli Ministries

Miriam Abramov of Awake Israel wrote:  “Israelis support the war greatly. It helps you feel the land now.” It is from the Times of Israel article “A Deluxe War”
     "Public backing is still sky-high despite sirens, sleepless nights and shuttered schools. The reason, pollsters say, is Israelis feel they’re waging an existential fight in relative safety. . . .The past 18 days have not been easy here in Israel. As of early Wednesday morning, 14 people have been killed in Israel from Iranian missile attacks. The north is under a constant barrage of rockets and drones from Hezbollah, with IDF soldiers pushing deeper into Lebanon. Routinely, Israel’s hospitals record more than 100 people admitted per day due to injuries from the fighting — whether from missile attacks themselves or the constant rush to shelter every time a siren sounds.
     “Speaking of bomb sirens: Quiet nights in central Israel, where the population is concentrated, feel like an increasingly distant memory, especially for people who need to leave their apartment every time the alarm blares….In most of the country, parents have had almost three trying weeks at home with their kids as workplaces stay open but schools remain shuttered, with the two-week Passover break around the corner."

Michael Beener of the City of Life in Sderot explained the Passover in a prophetic picture that should especially set off lightbulbs in Christian understanding when he asked, “Is Passover the origin of Israel as a People?” He said, “Passover, or Pesach, marks the transformation of the Israelites from slavery to a chosen people with a unique identity and divine purpose. God led them through the wilderness, giving them the Torah and establishing a covenant, showing that liberation is not only physical but also spiritual.” Watch this video as Michael shares more on this, or you can read the article there too.

Israel Pochtar of Beit Hallel in Ashdod writes, “These days in Israel, life often moves between two realities at once. There are moments of quiet gathering and moments of sudden urgency. There is the sound of worship—and sometimes, the sound of sirens. And in the middle of it all, we are learning again what it means to walk by faith, not by sight.” | Turning Bomb Shelters into Places of Hope VIDEO | Read: Faith Louder than Sirens | When the Covenant is Broken, God Restores VIDEO | Packing Care in a Time of War VIDEO | VIDEO A Ministry of Comfort

Ariel Hyde of Tree of Life Israel shares “A harrowing experience for Ariel’s family with sirens in the night ("I honestly thought it could be the end"), God’s promise and plan to awaken Israel and Iran, and your part as watchmen on the walls during this crucial time. Watch the Podcast 

Avi Mizrachi of Dugit Outreach Ministries writes, “The war with Iran is still ongoing! Hundreds of missiles & drones struck Israel....Wednesday night, the Hezbollah terrorists fired 150 rockets into the Galilee & Northern Israel. The Galileans spent the whole night in the bomb shelters....in Tel Aviv, thousands of Israelis rushed to the underground light rail station, where they could find shelter from the ballistic missiles from Iran. Since thousands of Israelis in Tel Aviv do not have protective rooms in their apartments, they run to these public underground bomb shelters.....Please pray for protection over Israel, for the safety of our families, and for God’s peace to reach those living in fear. . . .Our distribution center in Tel Aviv has still been handing out food and supplies to needy families, as well as providing the basic items that will be needed for people to keep Passover despite the war. . ..would you also prayerfully consider supporting us financially so we can immediately respond to the hurting people of Israel—providing practical assistance, spiritual care, and the message of hope?

Reuven Doron One New Man Today sends on 3/12 VIDEO A New Middle East
and Holy War also a video. Like Reuven writes in his two mailings on those days, we aren’t seeing a lot from him right now because they are “kinda busy” taking care of each other as the sirens to run to shelter have been going off continuously. Both of these short videos give a synopsis of things he shared in his emails.

Chaim Malespin of the Aliyah Return Center on 3/13 made an appeal on behalf of so many Israelis who have lost their homes due to the illegal cluster bombs sent by Iran – 220 ballistic missile and 110 drones launched at Israel. Hezballah has fired more than 200 rockets/100 drones. How do Israelis come back from such devastation without our help? Watch Chiam’s VIDEO here.

Youval Yanay of Revive Israel wrote on 3/13: “Last Friday, something unexpected happened. Our weekly market filled up in a way we have never quite seen before. People kept arriving, one after another, and soon the space was full. It was clear that many simply needed to be around others. After days of tension, alerts, and long hours at home, people were hungry for connection. The morning slowly turned into something more than a market. Conversations lingered. Children ran around. People began signing and even dancing. For a few hours, the atmosphere felt lighter. People stayed longer than usual, not in a hurry to leave. We are planning to open the market again this coming Friday in the same spirit.

Leon Mazin of Return to Zion in Haifa writes: To be honest, I’m not really in the habit of writing frequent updates or emails. Being both a Senior Pastor and a Ministry Director, I don’t always find the time and mood to write letters. But right now parts of our work are paralyzed, and I’ve been receiving requests to share what we’re going through. So, here I am sharing.))) Yesterday evening was dedicated to an online Bible study with our Congregation on the letter to Ephesians Chapter 2. During the day I was busy preparing, but then, around 4:00 PM, I got a call warning me that something was "brewing" for the evening. Our "word-of-mouth" network works better than the Mossad!)))) We informed all those who love attending online meetings 'in their cars' that today it’s better to stay home and be close to a protected space. We finished at 7:30 PM and by 8:00 PM, the shelling began….about 250 rockets were fired at the north, and it doesn't matter where exactly in "Northern Israel" you live—your house shakes in any case.

Dov Bikas of the Aviv Ministry in Tel Aviv writes, I have to admit that in the past I treated rocket attacks somewhat casually. Living in a large city, it felt a bit like winning the lottery: what are the chances that a rocket would hit exactly where I am? But when an explosion happened near my mother’s empty apartment and all the windows were blown out, it definitely woke me up. . . .These days I have been reading the Psalms a lot and have noticed how many of David’s songs speak about enemies and ask for God’s justice. . . .most of us prefer to focus on love and peace rather than confrontation. But when you consider the long history of Israel, it becomes easier to understand. For centuries there have been nations and regimes that sought to destroy the Jewish people – from ancient empires to the Nazis, and today groups like Hamas and Hezbollah and the Iranian leadership. So I asked myself: what is the real reason for such hatred? . . .I came to Psalm 67, where David shifts from speaking about enemies to praying that the nations would come to know God. And this struck me as the real answer. . . .Only when hearts truly change, real peace becomes possible.

 Dani and LuAnne Sayag at the Carmel Congregation write: "On Shabbat, Dani spoke on Psalm 23. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me (v 4). For many of us, it was such a refreshing and comforting word. We know that our God is not just a shepherd; He is my shepherd. He is the One who is leading us into all these challenges right now, and He is the one who is with us as we go through whatever may be attacking or surrounding us. (WATCH the message) . . .On the day that this is written, our congregation is marking 6 years of continual prayer on Zoom from Monday-Thursday between 6:00-7:00 am. . . .We are so deeply grateful for the many words of encouragement and support that have been expressed to us through your emails and texts. Your prayers for the situation are urgently needed. Watch singing in the bomb shelter at the congregation.

Avi Mizrachi of Dugit Outreach Ministries writes: “Thank you for standing with us in prayer and support. Your faithfulness strengthens us, and we are deeply grateful for the way you continue to lift Israel before Him. As the needs around us continue to grow, your prayers and your generosity make it possible for us to respond with compassion and share the hope of Yeshua in ways that truly meet people where they are. Watch Avi's short video message with clips for their times with the family including the grandchildren in the bomb shelter.

Claude Ezagouri writes on 3/11 from the Morning Star Fellowship praises God for the relatively few casualties, but notes the damages are still high: "Several people have been killed or wounded by the missiles. Over 3 million people do not have shelters.    There is no school, so children are at home or in shelters. This prevents many parents from going to work. As the country is partly paralyzed, the war is becoming costly not just militarily but also because many people are forced to be unemployed. It is costly to compensate those who cannot work and those whose house has been destroyed by the missiles. . . .Obviously, we covet your intercession for protection.
     "....This last Sabbath we held a meeting with restricted attendance as it is illegal to gather more than 50 people. However, we zill probably invite whoever can come to the next meeting. We have a responsibility to pray not only for us but also for our city. Most of our home groups are on Zoom but some gather physically too. Some people tend to remain at home and don’t attend the meetings because of the alerts. Some members of our fellowship who cannot work find it hard to provide for their families. Consequently, the offerings dwindled. We gave instructions according to 1 Cor. 16:1-2 as far as possible."

Moti Cohen’s team at Tiferet Yeshua write about keeping the congregation together in war. Covid taught them to “be flexible and connect online.” They also hold 2 Zoom prayer meetings during the week. Meanwhile they are serving the homeless between sirens: Read more. Also read: A New Season of Hope and Freedom for the Middle East? 

Avner Boskey of David’s Tent (Final Frontier Ministries) writes The Bear, the Lion and the Eagle. “And Behold, Another Beast, Resembling A Bear” (Daniel 7:5)
Avner explores the prophetic scripture and current events.

Ruby Bishai of Fields of Wheat, and part of leadership the Katzir Youth camps even as I was writing about their hopes to hold the Passover camp that is much needed by the youth, has written to say that with sadness they have come to the decision to cancel the camp. War is still on, Ruby is still stuck in the United States, and the camp director is called up for IDF reserve duty. It just became impossible. Ruby wisely observed, "In many ways, social media has trained us to only share the highlights while hiding the struggles? But real ministry, and real relationships, don’t work that way." He writes, "During this unexpected time in the United States, I have experienced firsthand the kindness, generosity, empathy, and patience of many people who care deeply about what God is doing in Israel. And that is what we sincerely desire, real partnership, in both the good times and the difficult ones." Ruby also asks for prayers for peace and healing to begin in the Middle East region. That more will come to know Yeshua and for prayers for the teenagers of Israel. "Please lift them up in prayer, that they would find strength, hope, and comfort during such a difficult season. . . .that God would continue to raise up young leaders in the land who will carry His light into the future. We are deeply grateful that you are standing with us."

Guy Cohen who leads the Harvest of Asher congregation sends a short article about Yeshua in the Passover and includes a link to further teaching on the Passover and also a link to a free download of their Passover Haggadah. From a family of rabbis, Guy has gone through many of the pressures and challenges put on young Israeli Jewish men who come to faith in Yeshua, Israel’s Messiah. I imagine this has a lot to do with how much anointing Guy walks in. I’ve always been impressed by Guy, meeting him over many years and reading his writing over the full time he launched the congregation in the town of his birth.

Kobi & Shani Ferguson writes from Maoz Ministries, "They say if Covid and the October 7th War had a baby, it would look like today's Iran War."

    Donna: Many Israelis are commenting on the non-stop disruption of “normal” life in Israel going from one chaos period to the next in Covid, Oct 7 War to Iran War. One could easily see that Israel is going through “the birth pangs” of Israel’s spiritual birth in Messiah. (Don’t be tempted to think Israelis are the only ones that will go through these birth pangs either!) Mark it down: these are not Braxton-Hicks contractions – the spiritual birth of “all Israel” is really coming!

     Kobi & Shani: To avoid the worst of "fuzzy war syndrome,” many Israelis, including us, have opted to sleep in the bombshelter on a mattress. You still wake up from the sirens and subsequent booms but you get to avoid the "weightlifting your children" challenge at midnight. . . . Not everyone is at home. Our daughter, who was drafted just weeks after October 7th happened, is now up defending our northern border against Hezbollah. Also, several members of the Maoz team were called up as reserves to ground and Air Force to help keep Hamas at bay in Gaza and address the Iran threat on the entire Middle East and free world beyond. Prayers for their wellbeing are so appreciated. . . .Prayer Points: For elderly who stay in their home because they have no one to help them to a bombshelter. For families who have been raising children without a parent for the past three years because they serve in the military. For people who must again evacuate their homes on the northern border because of the constant barrage of Hezbollah drones and missiles.

 Sally Shiff  Intercessor & Liaison for Kehilat HaMaayan wrote, “Who would have ever thought that 3 years ago on Oct 7, 2023, we would be where we are now. The thought of having peace even for a while until a new enemy "pop's up" gives us hope and solace as Israel runs to the shelter 5+ times a day and night. Just last night, I suddenly woke up by siren and at 3 am to run to the shelter, most nights lately it's 3x a night place, about 4x a day. Needless to say, we are all tired. Our brain space is limited, and at work, we have to check and double check each other that we have completed what were simple tasks before the ballistic rockets. Aside from my above description, I am doing well. . . .My laptop is currently being fixed, so lucky for you, I will only be able to send updates 1x a week. I am sure you are getting all the news about the war in your country, so I just wanted to give you what we hear here to give you a different perspective.

Spiritual Investment in Israel

 Maybe it is my trigger, but too much of the Church regards Israel and the increasing salvation of Jews as inconsequential to the faith of Christians. The spiritual investment of my life is specifically on the body of faith being built up in Israel of Jewish believers in Yeshua-Jesus. 

     That is my primary investment. I do have grief about that sometimes. It always has been grieving to me to deal with Christians who have no understanding of what God is doing in restoring Israel to salvation. The grief is they also do not care. 

     I was particularly grieved in 2023 when I began research for article about how Christians have helped in the restoration of physical restoration of Israel. In the course of my research I learned about a Christian cleric named William Hechler who was the Chaplain of the British Embassy in Vienna. Hechler had the Biblical vision and understanding for a future restored State of Israel for the Jews. 

     When Theodore Herzl, known as the Father of Israel, published his book on that subject, William Hechler immediately rushed to Herzl's side to help. I mean immediately: the day after seeing Herzl's book!

     In this position as the Chaplain of the British Embassy, Hechler was able to give Herzl's idea of a restored Jewish homeland an audience among the royal families of Europe. Like Esther, Hechler used the position that God had given him to open doors for the establishment of the Jewish State. Within one year of Hechler and Herzl's meeting, Theodore Herzl convened the first ever Zionist Congress in 1897. Hechler was the only non-Jew invited to that event.

     Herzl might have remained an unknown Jewish newspaper writer if Hechler had not opened those doors to European princes. Christians in key positions have always assisted the Jewish people in the restoration God promised them, and not only that, but for the spiritual restoration that God promised for "all Israel" that also requires Christians assistance. We are to witness to Jews, but we should not believe it is any kind of witness at all to ignore the witness of the Messianic Jews of Israel to their own people!

     God's restoration of Israel is happening in stages, like Ezekiel's vision of the valley of dry bones. Ezekiel's vision is the real life history that Israel has been living unfolding in increments since the days of Hechler and Herzl. 

     During my research, it was greatly grieving to me to read that when Herzl died in 1904 thinking he was a failure, then Hechler followed in 1931 penniless and thinking the same of himself.  I began to grieve over myself that I could easily end up the same. Maybe it is not kosher to admit such a thing, but it is honest to the bone. 

     When Hechler died his friends came to gather up his papers and charts he had spent a lifetime producing. His landlord reported that they had burned up all of Hechler's belonging and that he was buried in an unmarked grave.  He died a pauper. I can't tell you how much this research made me cry. To pour one's life out for Zion's sake and to die feeling a failure and forgotten. I admit, I have often feel this is my story too. I don't dwell on it but just press in all the more to say what God has shown me about Israel's restoration and the role of the Church in it. 

     Hebrews 11:13-14 "All these people died in faith, without having received the things they were promised. However, they saw them and welcomed them from afar. And they acknowledged that they were strangers and exiles on the earth. For those who say such things declare plainly that they seek a homeland."

     Regardless of my personal ending, I'm not experiencing doubts about what I have committed myself to. I'm just stating the facts because what other people don't get, doesn't cause me doubt that it is the real thing God is doing among us in His own timing and mysterious way. If anything, writing the above was me re-affirming that is what I believe and will continue to believe to my personal ending.

Arrows 3/6/2026 Operation Lion Roars

 Due to the volume of input from the Israeli Ministries because of the war, this week I have made the Arrows from Zion to be the same as the usually larger Summary of Prayer Requests from Israeli Ministries. I don't believe I could reasonably pare down the 8-pages of the Summary to 4-pages of Arrows. So every one is getting the same issue this week. Of course minus the pictures of the ministry leaders since I cannot get this platform to allow me to upload pictures.

* An additional writing is In Defiance of God: Antisemitism in the Church.

Summary of Prayer Requests from Israeli Ministries

As you might imagine with such a major warfare as the Israel & American action against Israel is, not only has there been a political and military ramp up, but the Israeli Ministries we cover in this prayer list have ramped up too. With the increase of media opposition to Israel in Western nations, the Israeli ministries are doing all they can to keep us apprised of the real things going on. Many of the ministries are sending out daily updates to their subscribers, which is why I am going to name them and give you contact information plus let you know the types of communications you can connect with directly to know what is going on. You can listen to Tucker Carlson lie about Israel, or you can listen to the Blood-bought, Spirit-filled ministries who LIVE in Israel. Just so you know, Tucker’s way will lead his followers into greater and greater delusions.

Ronit Bender a member in the Carmel congregation writes, “As I mentioned in my previous letter, I have no safe room to shelter where I can hide. As walking is becoming increasingly more difficult for me, I stay in my home, on my face before the Lord in travail in intercession, crying out for my nation Israel and for the salvation of our enemies, which are many. When I am not doing that, I am often explaining to people abroad (via email or text) why the war was necessary and sharing facts with others countering the misinformation shared so widely on social media.
     Did you know Israel drops leaflets into areas telling the population, they are coming and what areas to avoid? This is true, which is why you may see videos from people in Teheran or Lebanon videoing the attack in relative safety. Although some armies do it as "psychological warfare," Israel does it as a way of avoiding civilian casualties.
     ….Lastly, a great big "thank you" for praying for my shoulder, it has improved so much! I have put off requesting prayer for healing for my back. The pain is increasingly affecting my ability to walk. Would you please take this also before the Lord? How can I minister to people, if I cannot go to them?

Beit Immanuel pastor Aleksy Raikstadt in Jaffa writes, “We are holding fast to God’s promises, but the reality is heavy, and the fear is real. Right now, we urgently need your prayers. Please pray for protection over our congregation and peace in our homes. Pray for Israel, for mercy over our cities and wisdom for our leaders. Pray for grace for both Israel and the United States in these critical hours. Pray for innocent people in Iran to be shielded from harm. And please pray for hearts. Pray that in this shaking, many would turn to God. . . .Thank you for standing with us in prayer and interceding for His people during this critical time.

Avi and Hannah Tekel leading Tents of Mercy in Kiryat Yam send this encouraging  Purim VIDEO from Avi. He also makes an appeal for the Passover packages they are already beginning to assemble for the 900 families in their region. Without the help of Christian supporters, it would be impossible for the Israeli ministries to do these important outreaches. The biblical Feasts of the Lord are depictions of God’s salvation of Israel THROUGH FAITH in Yeshua.

I love how Leon Mazin of the Return to Zion Center in Haifa keeps it real! “Perhaps some of you are surprised by the "apocalyptic" tone of this letter, but the circumstances—constant trips to bomb shelters and spending "too much time in the news"—certainly paint a specific picture. Of course, this is all very subjective, and as for the TIMING, no one knows but our Heavenly Father, in whom we place all our hope! I would be so grateful for your prayers—for me personally, for my family, and for the leaders of our Congregation. We are spending a lot of time talking with people and offering encouragement right now. I must say, though, that the believers are holding up well, as much as is possible under the circumstances. For now, we are still unable to gather in person. Iranian missiles, though "dumb," carry a one-ton payload, and—God forbid—we cannot risk a large crowd in one place.

     New Gospel Wineskins in Israel | The harvest in Israel is nearly upon us and the Lord is calling for new wineskins to carry the new wine. Each day we run into Israelis whose hearts are tender and open to the Gospel. Each day we also run into those who resist God’s grace, and we are planning to increase our online presence with new Hebrew programs on digital platforms. Yet, carrying the person and the message of the Lord Jesus to the Israeli digital frontier is not a task we take lightly since the warfare is intense and the finances are beyond our means. We value your intercession and partnership for this cause, and would gladly welcome all who are called to stand with us. The hour is late and the time to act is NOW. The work of the Gospel in Israel is like plowing a tough and rocky ground that has been hardened over thousands of years of spiritual draught, rejection, persecution, and warfare. The VEIL that covers the heart of Israel will be removed only by God’s Spirit, and we ask that you pray with us toward this end, and consider partnering with us for the production of HEBREW OUTREACH PROGRAMS.

     Many commentators, both in Israel and elsewhere, have been saying how this war is "biblical" in its significance. That is certainly true, and many Jews and Christians should perk up their ears when they hear that.  Nearly all of the jihadist leadership of Iran have been killed, including the supreme leader Khamanei.  BTW, his name, and that of the first supreme leader, Khomeini, when the Shah was overthrown in 1979, are both variations of the biblical name of Haman, the archetypal enemy of the Jews in the Persian/Iranian Empire in the Book/Scroll of Esther in the Tanach/Old Testament. The decree of the Persian King Ahasverus, according to the law of the Persians, which gave the people in his huge kingdom the order to kill the Jews, cannot be rescinded. His second decree, once he realized that Haman deceived him, and  that his Queen Esther, whom he loved, was also a Jew, as was her uncle Mordecai, who helped save his life from assassination, he gave a second decree to counter the first; in other words, he gave the Jews the right to defend themselves, and to kill those who sought to destroy them as a people. Haman himself was hung on a gallows that he had constructed to hang Mordecai on. This decree is also, therefore, still in effect, and we see it being played out more than 2400 years later in our generation! Even if either of these decrees should succeed or fail, the un-rescindable decree and New Covenant of YHVH, God of Israel, overrides them both. Only Jesus/Yeshua will save Israel from being utterly destroyed as a nation, and only Jesus/Yeshua will save any Iranian who puts their faith and hope in Him, the Redeemer of Israel and Savior of the world. Those who make light of or hate the Jews and the Christians do so because they make light of or hate the sovereign Creator who has chosen them to make Him known, even if they themselves do not believe in or exalt Him. | Watch this video shot on March 4 2026 from Howard, Purim in the End-Times

     THE REALITY OF WAR – frightening and deadly | Since Saturday morning, we have been sheltering in place and are running to the bomb shelter often, in some cases nonstop. In the war with Iran last year, the missile salvos were much larger - up to 30 ballistic missiles at a time, whereas this time around there are only 3-6 missiles at a time. However, as I write this, a missile hit in a residential area of Beit Shemesh, killing at least 9 and injuring nearly twenty. Yesterday, a missile hit in a Tel Aviv neighborhood, killing one woman and injuring dozens. A family from our congregation with four young children live only a couple streets away. [Moti has been called up to active duty] Please stand with us in prayer. We believe that this is a time for breakthrough and turnaround, not only for Israel but also for the Iranian people and the region as a whole!

     For several years I have been participating in the Zoom meetings Fields of Wheat hold prior to the three Katzir (Harvest) Youth Camps for Equipping Youth for the Harvest in Israel. Many things were on the agenda in this prayer Zoom that were not included in the outstanding emails they sent before about the upcoming Passover Katzir Camp. #1 WAR changes everything, so uncertainty about if they will be able to even hold it considering Lebanon entered the war too. The youth REALLY NEED the building up of their faith that Katzir ministers – so pray for an opening of peace so they can get govt okay to proceed. Also Joel, the director, has been notified he is being called up just prior to that camp date. Pray for the lull that allows him to stay in place if at all possible in God’s plan! And many of the male counselors are down in number for the same reason Joel may not be there –pray God will raise up young men who aare able to serve in the camp as counselors.
     There is a crisis especially in the USA of Christian youth and young adults having been indoctrinated into pro-Palestinian Islamist backing instead of realizing that their spiritual kindred is not with Islam, it is with Israel and the Jewish people. This is a priority prayer for the American Church to be awakened by God from the ranks of youth to white haired Christians that God LOVES Israel and is saving the Jewish people. RESTORATION for Israel is GOD’s Plan of this season and we who know it must pray for those who don’t know it. And lastly, Joel reports that the Reserve call ups have been very hard on even the most devoted to serving their country. They are just worn out and it doesn’t help that the Orthodox get a religious exemption from service. If they served in Israel’s Defense Forces, it was observed that those soldiers are taught a new ethos – they fight for the brothers they fight beside. In IDF service, they come out from under the thumb of the rabbis who get paid handsomely for the number of Yeshiva students they manage. The way I heard this spiritually is that if the Yeshiva students had to serve like everyone else in the country, not only would it relieve the stress on over-used Reserves, but it would also open the minds and hearts of religious young men. This is a point well worth praying into! There was much more, but this should give some indication of how to pray for the camps.  Donate to 3 Katzir youth gatherings each year For more info

     “.... our first and most important prayer is simple: that God’s will would be done... Here on the farm, we continue with the work before us. The vegetables still need tending, the soil still needs care, and the daily rhythm of life continues. There is something grounding about working the land in times like these. While the wider situation feels uncertain, the fields still grow, and the small acts of planting and caring for the land remind us that God remains present in every part of life. When the sirens sound, we move quickly to shelter or lie down on the ground if we are outside. These moments remind us how fragile things can feel. And yet, they also draw our hearts again toward prayer and toward trusting the Lord’s protection.
     "The children experience all of this in their own way. At first the sirens caused fear and panic. Over time they have begun to adjust, sometimes even turning it into a game during their play, pretending to hear a siren and running to their “shelter.” It is strange to see how quickly children adapt to something that should never feel normal. Please pray that God would guard their hearts and give them peace. We have also decided to continue holding our weekly market. There is a shelter nearby, and we will follow all safety guidelines carefully. . . ."  Partner with us

     They have been out of the country, in Australia, but 2/5 Carolyn posted to Facebook: “Oh how often I’ve said I’d NEVER fly to Qatar, yet this is where our rescue flight is bringing us from the ends of the earth to end up in Cyprus! Looking for ways home from there and if no flights open up, I’ll swim home!” Prayers for them in getting safely home.
    From the 2/26 ministry letter Carolyn writes about the Australian trip: “"To the worldly mind, one would think this was pointless, but we learned long ago that when He calls us to certain places on an assignment, even when it makes no sense at all, if we say yes, He will move Heaven and earth, even changing the weather so that we can accomplish what He sent us to do. And if nothing happens right away? It doesn’t matter. G-d called and we obeyed and that’s at the heart of every PAJ - Prophetic Artists Journey!"
     She writes, “Praise Adonai for all the churches in Australia that welcomed us, many for the first time with a message from Israel! And what a joy to worship with islanders from the ends of the earth at the Oceania Summit. . .
    Solemn Assembly | As close to 40 of us gathered on the grass by the East Gate of Australia, where tourists flocked, I asked G-d to make us invisible and He did! As the Solemn Assembly began, we all sensed the weight of His glory as we moved like a well rehearsed symphony, even though I had no idea how to lead as usual! I only knew we had to proclaim certain Scriptures with no idle chatter and I had to sing from the Australian East Gate over the East Gate of Jerusalem, where Yeshua will make His triumphant return. As usual, G-d opened His paint box and designed beautifully relevant signs on the sea and Heavens that reflected our prayers!
     We were so grateful that Indigenous leaders participated and many young adults joined us, later sharing how inspired they were to learn how to hear G-d’s voice and then move as one in His Spirit. People knew what to bring and do for the prophetic acts on site and later at East Gate Church, such as building and anointing a Joshua 4:21 altar with 12 stones, crushing chalk in response to Isaiah 27:9, playing the tambourine as Isaiah 30:30-32 was read, blowing shofars and weeping in repentance during Joel 2 and more. The worship was rich and deep and throughout we all sensed Adonai’s pleasure. At the same time many intercessors gathered throughout the nation at key gates, repenting, worshipping and reading the same Scriptures I’d been given. They also ministered in Sydney,Melbourne & Bondi Beach
 

Keep prayers going up for Arni and Yonit Klein as they are also out of the country for a month with the Emmaus Way Africa Initiative. They left Israel on Feb 22 and are to retun of March 22nd. Pray there will be no problem getting back home and no problems at home when they get there. In between they are setting up what will become Emmaus Way Africa, conducting of seminar for Uganda leaders and presenting the vision of Outposts of Heaven. They are in Uganda, and back home the bi-weekly worship gathering is continuing on.
