Netherlands King Willem-Alexander
Says Dutch Failed Jews in Soccer Attack Just like in WWII

Failing the Jewish People is Not an Option
by Donna Diorio

Nov 11, 2024: Woke from a multi-period Holocaust dream again this morning. The first part of the dream took place at the end of the 1948 Holocaust. There was a young Jewish girl being asked questions by some media and I was standing there watching. The girl would not answer them. The reporters asked, ‘Why won't she tell us what happened?’ I told them it is because she is not certain it is over yet. She fears it may be a trick.
     Then I was in my own time and I was again standing with some reporters. One was a local audio broadcast reporter who had been doing a fairly good job talking about the signs of antisemitism that mirrors the beginnings of the Nazi party Holocaust. They were discussing the difference in how the national networks were doing reporting on it compared to this local reporter. 
     I told them that I write to the national reporters to fill them in on what they don't know — the  dynamics they have misinterpreted in their reporting. The reporters all exchanged "knowing" looks because that is how reporters think:  that no one can possibly add to the conclusions they've come to already because they are the "professionals." I saw what they were thinking and I said that I even wrote to the local broadcast reporter who was sitting there with us, to tell her what she was missing. Again they looked at each other with the "knowing" look. They didn’t even consider that might be the very difference in how the local reporter excelled over how the national news people were reporting.      Many Christians are like that too when someone tries to tell them how significant Israel is to God or how much of His plan hinges on the Israeli Messianic body of Messiah/Christ.
     Then I told the reporters in my dream that I decided 3 decades ago that I was not going to be one of those Christians like in Nazi Germany that sat quietly without objection when the SS rounded up Jews who had become Christians disappearing them from the Church even. I told them I made it my business ever since to know what the issues were in Nazi Germany and to know what pasts the Christian nations played, to know what the issues were now regarding the uproar of God restoring Israel, the Promise Land to the exiled Jews. I made it my business to study the histories, the Histrionics, the lying narratives, the knowable facts of the opposition to God restoring Israel to His chosen people, the Jews.
     The reporters stood looking at me slack jawed. They only understand "university-taught" points of view which are just "He said-She said" type views of the conflict. They are taught 1-side of the narrative to run with. They do not realize it is possible to pull back from that and just follow the facts instead of the narratives. Universities are teaching aspiring news journalists narratives now, not how to excavate the evidence and follow the facts wherever the lead. They are teaching reporters to hold a prepackaged "greater good" point of view as they advocate a position. The position will always be for them that it is better for Israel to disappear than it is for the nations to lose loyalties of those that cannot abide with Israel's existence in their own land.
     I am not going to be the person that leaves that lie alone unchallenged. The dream was an early morning reminder of my fuller role as "salt" in our day. It is all part of my calling to stand by the Israeli Messianic Jews in their calling to the spiritual restoration of "all Israel." If you are a subscriber to my prayer summary, then you obviously have the same calling.

As 2024 draws to an end, I have need of your prayerful consideration of a donation. 

If you are on limited income, as many of my fellow elderly subscribers are, please do not feel any pressure. My guide on this is 2 Cor 8:10-15 — when Paul was instructing the churches on the financial support he had told all of them to begin making a collection he would then take to Jerusalem, to the apostles for the needs of the body of Messiah in Israel.
     Paul wrote:  10 I give my opinion in this matter, for this is to your advantage, who were the first to begin a year ago not only to do this, but also to desire to do it. 11 Now finish the work, so that you may complete it just as eagerly as you began, according to your means. 12 For if the eagerness is there, the gift is acceptable according to what one has, not according to what he does not have. 13 It is not our intention that others may be relieved while you are burdened, but that there may be equality. 14 At the present time, your surplus will meet their need, so that in turn their surplus will meet your need. Then there will be equality. 15 As it is written: “He who gathered much had no excess, and he who gathered little had no shortfall.”
     As an advocate for this type of modern observance of supplying the financial needs of the Israeli body of Messiah, I also include myself as qualifying for financial support. If you see that please make a contribution now. Thank you for your consideration. Donna Diorio

Arrows from Zion
Summarized from the Weekly Summary of Prayer Requests Israeli Ministries

Jennifer Guetta, Plant Hope Israel, just returned from ministering in the Netherlands (also where she is from before immigrating to Israel) “We just returned from an amazing tour in The Netherlands last week and now suddenly antisemitism is rising. But we believe there is hope for Israel and the Netherlands! On our tour we were supported by many Dutch people who still loved Israel! Yes, we also felt the undercurrent of antisemitism against Israel on the streets of many cities. However! We also experienced that there is a great remnant of Dutch people who still stand by Israel. … As one new man, we blessed one another and prophesied God's love over Israel and the Netherlands…. Sadly, a few days later, the streets of Amsterdam turned into a warzone... a purposely planned pogrom against Israeli football supporters happened. Jews were literally hunted down in the streets of Amsterdam. It was a shocking wake up call. And now the media is turning it around, as if Israelis are the one who started it. It's a sad twisting of truth. Before our eyes, we are seeing the riots continuing and spreading across Europe, endangering Jewish lives and those that stand up for them.
     Jennifer also writes, “When we came home to Israel we celebrated a great landslide victory for Trump in America. As I prophesied three months ago, the spirit of Jezebel fell in the fall (see video)! Praise God for His Victory!”
     Learn more about this ministry in the Galilee and read her own testimony of being delivered from the demons attached to Kabbalah, Awestruck by Glory. “You Can Help | At Plant Hope Israel we encourage Israel by planting hope in their hearts by showing them that the Bible is real, God is real and Yeshua is the Messiah.”

Avner Boskey’s Snowflakes and Santa Claus takes on the founding of Harvard University as a school to train Christian ministers in 1636 and how it is fallen completely having become “a bastion of anti-Christian teaching.” Now Harvard neither teaches Christ nor the Truth. He writes about how the university mishandled the October 2024 lecture by Mosab Hassan Yousef, the son of one of Hamas’ founders by allowing pro-Hamas protestors to disrupt the event. “At Harvard, so it seems, free speech for jihadis trumps the unimpeded right of God’s watchmen to call out a warning."
     Read more of this post-Trump American election and post-Amsterdam European Antisemitism here.

[FYI from DD: There are many commenting about the “sudden” rise of anti-Semitism across Europe and America, but there is nothing sudden about this at all. Even to me, it seemed strange that God would give me a dual passion for what He had planned for Israel in the last days, and a second passion to understand Islamic jihad as it spread out over Western nations. Islamists did not “suddenly” rouse up anti-Semitism, they have been working their long game among Western populations for decades – either making disciples, unlikely allies or intimidated politicians and populations. It is the way Islam imbeds itself until it is powerful enough to light the match on the anti-Semitic bomb they carry instead of hearts. There is no suddenly at all here.]

Carolyn & Richard Hyde of Heart of G-d ministries just returned from Cyprus where they attended the Isaiah 19 Highway Conference with “for multi-generational ‘neighbors’- Arab believers from Iran, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Egypt and Israel who love the Jewish people.”
     Back home Carolyn writes, “During worship in our home group, I shared a vision of the IDF carrying out special ops, scrambling intel and arming munitions while advancing deeper into Lebanon and Iran. Suddenly the musicians entered into a battlefield song in the Spirit! The host's son who has access to news before it's news was stunned and inquired, "How did you know this and where did you get this info?!" Of course I told him that the Spirit of G-d still speaks today.... In Jerusalem during the unveiling ceremony of the 18th mural of Iranian-US artist, Hooman Khalili, I was invited to speak to the crowd that included several Israeli government officials. I shared how during a recent missile barrage from Iran, I got to pray with pro-Israel Iranian believers online! Upon sharing this story, along with the previous story from above, a government official enthusiastically responded, "Let's talk. We need this kind of intel."
     She writes that “our daughter Shayna has already raised funds to build 44 in Northern Israel, where all schools must close until children have access to a shelter within 30 seconds.” PTL!  Carolyn also includes this A Dream for protection over the next generation | This dream includes an interpretation from a friend that resonates with us. We need to pray for, encourage and raise up the next generation in their gifts in Messiah….also encourages support for their sons’ ministry Tree of Life Israel.
     WISDOM:  “Many feel that since President Trump won the US election, America will return to the comfort of the "good old days." However, we see this as a reprieve from the coming storms, so now we need to walk humbly in repentance and trust in our Anchor of Hope as we continue to move through the pages of Zechariah and the Book of Revelations.”

Aliyah Return Center’s Chaim Malespin reflects on how the Trump win in the US election will impact Israel. “….former President Donald Trump was once again elected as the 47th President. This is exciting news for Israel, as during his last term, he was very supportive of Israel. Under his leadership, the U.S. moved the embassy to Jerusalem, officially recognizing it as the capital of Israel. This was a huge move, and since then, other countries have followed suit. So, until he takes office on January 20, 2025, and beyond, we encourage everyone to bless and pray for the leadership of your country. The prayers of the righteous avail much. Leaders carry great responsibility, and their decisions have a resounding impact. "When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn." - Proverbs 29:2  This scripture rings true!
     “Here in Israel, I continue to pray for our government here. Even before this war, we have faced internal conflicts within our government and society. Now add on top of that a war on several fronts! I don’t envy the weight they carry on their shoulders. By God’s grace and guidance, despite all human flaws, I pray that Israel will lead well and be aligned with God’s will. And that the rifts within our government and society would heal. I am so grateful, that we know who truly shepherd’s Israel. The Holy One of Israel! Pray that God’s hand would be upon all of our leaders and help them to make decisions that are righteous and wise. 🙏🏼 EMERGENCY AID  & GIVE HERE  | See also the many projects undertaken by the ARC here.

Revive Israel’s leaders Youval and Valerie Yanay admit, “This has not been an easy year. Since the tragic day on Oct. 7, 2023, our nation has not been the same, our people have not been the same, living with stress under the constant threat of rocket attacks. For others it has seen loved ones on reserve duty, serving in conflict zones for long periods at a time, including our own Raphael Almeida, and it has left so many traumatized, desperately in need of healing, restoration, and hope. People are searching for a refuge in the storm. As we prepare for the coming year, we at Revive Israel want to continue to live out our calling! For Zion’s sake, we will not be silent and we will not be still! We are entering a new season, and are dedicating this year to providing a safe, sacred space where Israelis can find renewal, strength, and hope. Through our community, anchored in a Yeshua-centered way of life, we are committed to offering this refuge. We provide a platform for individuals to have spiritual, physical, and emotional renewal, with our organic farm as a place of restoration.
     “Your partnership in this mission allows us to continue….Together, we can extend the refuge of God’s love, even in the hardest of times. As we approach the close of this year, we invite you to continue walking with us, bringing healing, hope, and renewal to the people of Israel and being a refuge in the storm.”  Donation information

Tony and Orna Sperandeo lead the HaMaayan congregation in Kfar Saba. They write that “Since our independence in 1948 we have encountered wars with the Arab nations around us. But on October 7, 2023, our nation was invaded in 63 kibbutz & towns in the south and joined by 5 other proxy countries from Iran. In total we are fighting on 7 fronts.”  All the Israeli ministries express the same thing – the Oct 7^th attack was a whole other level of warfare that has knocked all Israel for a loop.
     As they continue, “more than 800 soldiers have fallen in battle with over 12000 soldiers wounded. If you calculate the number of families impacted on these facts alone, you have almost 13000 families; thousands of widows and orphans who will never be the same again. Sadly, this does not include the civilians that were killed, wounded or kidnapped since Oct. 7^, 2023. We are a nation grieving. . . . We are comforted that God promises to be a father to those who no longer have a father or mother because of this war.  We are encouraged that God prompted us to expand our Betzel El creative healing center for those who need a deep healing touch from the Lord. Only through Yeshua can our nation be restored to God our Father. Yeshua is using each one of us to be a light to our friends and family who have been deeply affected by this horrific war.”
     “They will come with weeping and by pleading I will bring them; I will lead them by the streams of waters, on a straight path on which they will not stumble, for I am a father to Israel and Ephraim is My firstborn.”(Jeremiah 31:9)
     “With your help and prayers, we can fulfill His call on our congregation to touch those He has put in our path, thank you!”  Read in full and enjoy their pictures online. Here is their donation info online

Ron Cantor says he prays every day, "Lord, please allow Israelis to find Shelanu TV." It is a simple and powerful prayer we could all pray. Imagine how many angels would be sent to answer such prayers? Can’t get more in the perfect will of God than that!
     Ron writes, “I am always thinking about all the Israelis who are terrified, who don’t have a sense of heavenly security. We have to reach them with the good news, and the best way is through personal relationships… and that is what we emphasize in all of our congregations. But what if we don’t know them? What if we can’t reach them? We use the Internet. Israelis are one of the most online ethnic groups in the world. We invented much of what you see on the Internet.
     So I want to ask you to join with me in praying daily that Israelis find Yeshua on Shelanu. We broadcast Hebrew testimonies, Hebrew worship songs, powerful messages in Hebrew and and interview shows (Yes—in Hebrew!).
     We could not do this ministry without you. Please consider partnering with us on a monthly basis or simply send in a generous gift as we continue to broadcast the message of Yeshua to all Israel. We remember the words of Paul to the Romans, who were entertaining extremely negative thoughts against the Jewish people. Support Shelanu TV

Leon Mazin of the Haifa Return to Zion Center writes, “For all of us this is not an easy time. Several times a day we must run to bomb shelters and afterwards call to our families and friends. The most common question is: “How are you? Is everything ok?” Many people work at home or make the working hours shorter. All of us trust in God and hope for His mercy. Some brave people come out after the attacks to take photos of the hit missiles. Unfortunately, all this is very nerve-wracking and affects us. For the Congregation leaders it is a serious challenge to encourage people. How do we manage all this? It’s difficult to answer. I do not want to sound too negative, but my mood sometimes goes up and down. Nevertheless, I’ll tell you that our strength is IN THE LORD!
     Our humanitarian projects such as for new immigrants and needy families outreach go on. We have the same number of applicants and receive a lot of gratitude from people. Many of them are surprised that during such uneasy times we are able to open our doors and help them in their need, and for us, we are very grateful to all of you, our brothers and sisters, for your standing with us in this need of prayer and for your financial support! …. May God give all of you His shalom! With respect and love in Yeshua, Leon and Nina Mazin, Founders of Return to Zion Congregation and Ministry

Sally Shiff, intercessor with Kehilat HaMaayan, has written almost every day since Oct 7 2023 to give a short report of the day’s news and even more importantly to me, on the thoughts and hearts of the believers in Israel. Sally wrote on 11/14 of rockets that fell this day in her town. Also of the announcements coming out of Trump’s picks for his cabinet: “As I watch the nominees picked for the new administration that directly impacts Israel, I get more hopeful every moment. I am continuing to pray for each one of them as well as getting through these next 60+ days.” She alsowrites of anti-Semitism rising in Europe, “Antwerp, Belgium had an instance a few days ago of terrorists going on a "Jew Hunt". Paris on the edge after the 2 instances in Amsterdam. The UK reports a surge of incidents with 1,978 in the first half of 2024 If they only knew the truth...
     11/12 I hope you see this, I hope you take the time and really see the truth of what I am sending you on these two videos:  Hamas Hurt us, Killed us: unfiltered and Hamas tortures Gazans . I don’t think this will make international news, certainly not to the UN. But we know this, and this is why we are fighting. Please pray for us to have the strength to carry on!
     ….We really could use your prayers for the demonic activity to be exposed, hostages found, and Hamas to capitulate.  A lot can take place in these next 70 days before Trump is inaugurated. Pray the Biden admin does not tie our hands and cause more soldiers to die.  
     I can’t include all the great stuff Sally sends, but this too: “11/7 Still focusing on what the new administration will mean to Israel, I want to pass along a great video from Joel Rosenberg, who will be able to explain how our enemies view Trump's administration: Why Iran, Russia and China are shaking in fear after President Trump returns to office

Guy Cohen leads the Harvest of Asher in Acco – a town close to the Lebanon border on the coastline of the Mediterranean. He writes, “My heart will not fear | Peter wrote his Epistle to the Jewish communities of Believers in Yeshua that lived among the Gentiles in foreign lands. In his Epistle (letter) in 1 Peter, he encouraged them to live lives of hope even though they were suffering because of their faith. He always pointed to Yeshua and the promise of our inheritance, reserved in heaven - incorruptible by the hands of man. (1 Peter 1:4)
     He emphasized the salvation given according to the promises made through the prophets. Even though the prophets themselves did not know Messiah, Messiah fulfilled that which they prophesized about Him. It's all for you, the community of God who are suffering as you walk here on this earth, so that His Glory will be shown through us. All we need to do is to renew our minds and to hope with all our heart (1 Peter 1:13) for the Grace of Yeshua's revelation on us.
     We are called to be holy as He is holy. This demands of us, the Believer's in Yeshua, to live a life opposite that of the old man…. As Believers in Yeshua who are living through this pressure, our eyes are called to be on Him. … Psalm 27:3-5 - Though an army besiege me, my heart will not fear…. Please pray for the Believers in Yeshua in Israel just as Peter encouraged the Believers in his epistle - that we will walk through this time in history encouraged by the Lord. That we will by His Grace, rise above hopelessness and fear, overcoming weariness and walking in His strength, covered by His Mercy.

     READ also Ukranian emissary Vladislav Nagirner sends The War in Ukraine. Many have forgotten about the horrific war in Ukraine and the many Messianic Jewish congregations still functioning there in the midst of such devastation. In the US, most American Christians have been influenced by political pundits who never had compassion on Ukraine because of the political corruption between Ukrainian and American Democrat politicians. But Vlad is a great example of a Messianic teacher who has endured the war in all its sorrow, terror and loss, but has still been about the Father’s business throughout. Worth reading …the forerunners of ministry in war zones.
     Tikkun is also featuring Asher Intrater’s revised and updated edition of Alignment “Even as the world grows darker and moves into the difficult events of the end times, Messianic Jewish author and Bible teacher Asher Intrater gives a reason for hope, pointing to a corresponding revival with signs and wonders that emulate the Book of Acts.”

Maoz Israel, Shani & Kobi Ferguson write of their recent S Korea and Brazil visits. “We then landed in London for the “We Will Not Keep Silent” conference to the news that the UK is at the top of the list of extremely high risk attacks against Jews. France is also on high alert due to the Israeli soccer team that is playing there. The game draws Israeli fans - and Israelis apparently draw Islamic extremists who have taken refuge in Europe.
    Israel’s government has issued warnings for traveling Israelis to avoid wearing items identifying one as Jewish - and I couldn’t help and appreciate how much safer we feel when we are in Israel. However, just living safely in Israel is not enough for us. We want to see Israel restored to her God.
      It takes more than a powerful meeting to build a community from scratch. You need a plan. This plan has FOUR keystones and is something Maoz has been working on for almost 50 years. We will share one keystone each week this month - as each one is significant.  The first KEYSTONE is - Character and Spirituality …. Maoz has also modeled unity and solidarity by collaborating with local ministries and sponsoring many activities from conferences to street outreaches to camps for children, youth and leaders.
