This week news reports revealed that a
mosaic floor under a prison in Megiddo proclaimed “Yeshua is God.” I remember
reading about the discovery in 2005 & wondering why there was such mystery surrounding
what the mosaic said or depicted. Now I understand. I take this archaeological find to finally be
emerging from the shadows to be a sign — Let
Israel now hear: Yeshua is God!
[Believe me when
I say that they were not calling Yeshua “Jesus” in Israel even in 230 A.D.!]
Vision seen by Rania Sayegh, House of Prayer & Exploits in
Nazareth, during the morning watch on the Eve of Yom Kippur
RANIA: On Friday
morning 11/10/2024, the eve of Yom Kippur, during a prayer watch at HOPE, I saw
the feet of the Lord Jesus and His hem moving all over the land of Israel.
On the hem of His garment around
seven bells were hanging, and they were moving as He was walking the land on
the eve of Yom Kippur. The sound of the bells was echoing in the land, waking
people up. The sound of awakening was released all through the land of Israel.
Then I heard from the Holy Spirit, “After
the echo of the sound of the bells will come the sound of the rushing rain over
this land.”
And
upon its hem you shall make pomegranates of blue, purple, and scarlet, all
around its hem, and bells of gold between them all around: a golden bell and a
pomegranate, a golden bell and a pomegranate, upon the hem of the robe all
around. And it shall be upon Aaron when he ministers, and its sound will be
heard when he goes into the holy place before the Lord and when he comes out,
that he may not die. Exodus 28:33-35 NKJV
In
that day “HOLINESS TO THE LORD” shall be engraved on the bells of the horses.
The pots in the Lord’s house shall be like the bowls before the altar.
Zechariah 14:20 NKJV
Indeed the Lord has proclaimed to the end
of the world: “Say to the daughter of
Zion, ‘Surely your salvation is coming; Behold, His reward is with Him, And His
work before Him.’ ” And they shall call them The Holy People, The Redeemed of
the Lord; And you shall be called Sought Out, A City Not Forsaken. Isaiah
62:11-12 NKJV
RANIA: I believe that the Lord is
calling the people of Israel and its inhabitants to a place of healing but also
to awaken to their calling as a priestly nation. He wants to tattoo His name on
His people, Holiness unto the Lord. This is a season of sanctification and
consecration, so that when we rise up to our priestly and kingly calling we
will see rain restored and the harvest being released.
“And
I will sanctify My great name, which has been profaned among the nations, which
you have profaned in their midst; and the nations shall know that I am the
Lord,” says the Lord God, “when I am hallowed in you before their eyes. For I
will take you from among the nations, gather you out of all countries, and
bring you into your own land. Then I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you
shall be clean; I will cleanse you from all your filthiness and from all your
idols. I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take
the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. I will put
My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will keep My
judgments and do them. Then you shall dwell in the land that I gave to your
fathers; you shall be My people, and I will be your God. I will deliver you
from all your uncleannesses. I will call for the grain and multiply it, and
bring no famine upon you.” Ezekiel 36:23-29 NKJV

This week I (Donna) got 2 emails from
Israeli ministries that greatly encouraged me during a time I could really use
it.
One, from Yonit Klein of Emmaus Way, who
was catching up on emails and read my Oct 18th cover story, We Are Family: One New Man about the overwhelming sense of
betrayal I felt watching the October Women Rise event in Washington, D.C. The
betrayal response was because the event organizer promoted an Israeli anti-Messianic
Jewish organization as a good place for Christians to donate to. I am still appalled that to my knowledge no
one else has raised alarms about what was done, namely throwing Israel’s body of believers UNDER the bus! Thank you, Yonit for writing to me about that
article and encouraging me in it. Christians need to know what Israeli believers
know already: IFCJ is opposed to Jews believing in Jesus.
Also Beer Sheva pastor Howard Bass
wrote to me: “What you have been doing,
Donna, for more than 20 years is highlighting and emphasizing the Messianic
Body in Israel so that Gentile Christians will be informed and recognize that
there is something big and significant happening here that affects us all, as
God works out His perfect plan of redemption of Gentiles and Jews for the glory
of His Name. But your labors of love for Yeshua also grant us a much wider
audience than some of us would ever otherwise have, so it also benefits us, not
just 'them', and brings more praise and thanksgiving to our wonderful Father of
us all. Ain't He good!”
He is indeed, Howard, and thank you for
centering my eyes on what has always been my desire: to make known
the least known of those in Israel who are doing the LORD’S work.
There are Christian organizations in
Israel that many Christians donate to because they don’t really know the
Israeli Messianic congregations and ministries. What they don’t know is that
the Christian organizations cannot share their faith with Israelis they do
humanitarian aid to under penalty of being kicked out of Israel. ONLY the
Israeli congregations and ministries are carrying their faith legally to their
countrymen – and doing humanitarian aid to them as well. There is still a great
need to highlight the lesser known Israeli citizen-ministers of the Gospel in
Israel and to encourage international Christians to partner with them for
fulfilling God’s desire that “all Israel” be saved by faith in Israel’s Messiah
Yeshua. International Christians still need
to know that all of you Jewish believers in Israel’s Messiah are
giving it your whole heart – sacrificially - to reach your fellow Israelis as
God has elected you to do. No one
ministry can do it all and all the ministries need the help of Christians in
the nations for “all Israel” to be saved.
I am not against Christian
ministries in Israel doing humanitarian aid. Israel needs help. But it is the
difference in good, better & best. The best place to plant Christian
donations is with the Messianic Jewish congregations and ministries in Israel
who are after the spiritual harvest among their people.

If you haven’t been a subscriber to
this list for very long, you may not recognize this man’s name, Daniel Yahav,
but he leads one of the largest Messianic congregations in Israel - Peniel, The Face of God in Tiberias. I
just listened to this 9:20 minute update
report Daniel is giving on the Israel after one year plus of war. His delivery
is so calm. He talks like he might if
you were sitting right next to him having a quiet conversation. Daniel talks
reality about this war and how it is impacting them all. I think this is a
great one to listen to if you don't know much about what is going on for
Israelis. His English is very good, and after this he addresses the same in
German
Reuven Doron’s 11/15 article, DEI GRATIA * By the grace of God, is found on his OneNewManCall Facebook page. In this Reuven is
congratulating the “Free World” because God has raised up Donald Trump to lead
the free world from the presidency of the United States. I am in 100% agreement
with his strong comment. He adds, “We were not
surprised that He was re-elected to take the helm of the free world once again.
The Spirit of God showed this to us long ago in a dream, and our prayer
has been directed for the formation of the new administration with the right
people in the right positions for the needed work ahead.” I am thankful for
this Israel-born Messianic Jew whose prophetic clarity over the years has been
so consistent.
Reuven writes, “This emerging
American administration has the potential to generate significant global change
as the deep political conservative right is emboldened all over the world.
After decades of the progressive “woke” left trying so hard to convince
America that it’s not a great nation at all and that it has no divine calling,
more Americans than ever are now embracing afresh the vision of their Founding
Fathers. This vision of justice and freedom for all is taken directly from
the biblical prophets of Israel, and there is only one more nation on earth
that carries the same vision; and that is the nation that gave birth to
these prophets!
Only
the United States of America and Israel possess a “built-in” constitutional
covenantal foundation in their DNA recognizing that they are called by God for
His purposes. Our prayer is that this partnership in spirit and calling
will mature and grow in the next four years into unprecedented heights. There
is a lot of work to be done, and Trump’s administration will have to move fast
and aggressively during the next two years to set the new reality in stone.

The Revive Israel leaders
write about their winter discipleship program that just started: “These individuals have been deeply affected by the
war and all that has transpired
since October 7. This program offers them a time to find rest, renewal, and
growth in their faith as they seek God, His will, and experience transformation
through His power.
“We see
2025 as a year of renewal and restoration for our nation to find hope and
healing. It is a crucial time. It is a time to be a refuge in the storm for
Zion’s sake and we aim to do this in a number of ways: …. Third Day Organic
Farm, we provide a safe place where individuals can experience spiritual,
emotional, and physical healing… our
discipleship programs…. Our
vision for Friday Market was to have a place where Israelis could learn about
our faith….taking young Israelis on International Outreach Programs….
With each project, we’re creating opportunities for renewal, resilience, and
connection. We invite you to be a part our of mission and vision,
standing with us in support for Zion’s sake. With gratitude, The Revive Israel

Chaim Malespin at the Aliyah
Return Center asks, “What does this rise in
antisemitism mean for Aliyah?” Most surprising to Israelis has been the global
response to “primarily led by radical Jihadist groups, their rhetoric and
influence on others, especially the younger generation, are concerning.” [*In the USA, the plan among Hamas leaders wiretapped over several days
by the FBI in 1993, the exact strategy for developing this outcome was discussed
for N. America. Europe & the UK were more than a decade ahead of the U.S.
on the curve of Islamist terror groups embedding into their society.]
Chaim continues: “Many Jewish
people, especially in Western Europe, are feeling less secure than ever. A
recent incident in Amsterdam, where Israeli soccer fans were hunted down and
beaten, was a shocking escalation. Not since Nazi Europe has something like
this occurred. Applications, requests to gain information about moving to
Israel (making Aliyah) among Jewish communities in Europe are skyrocketing! ….
A tidal wave of Aliyah may very well follow this war once security in Israel is
restored. We need to act now: Help us build the Lighthouse, the Aliyah Return
Center, where we can continue to assist and help the Jewish immigration be
absorbed in their ancestral homeland. Click here to HELP US

Michael Beener of the Sderot City of Life
congregation writes, “Why Supporting IDF Reservists is Our Calling.” He writes
that the war Hamas initiated Oct 7th 2023 – “a relentless war,
facing attacks from radical Islamist groups and even hostile nations” Israel
was forced to call up reservists – men who served as they finished high school
and who once released went on to establish normal civilian lives. Michael was
reminded of the example of Moses in advanced years, needing his arms to be held
up by Aaron and Hur until the victory was secured. The reservists aren’t Moses’
age, but being called up to such a long drawn out war has been taxing on them
and their families. The whole nation is feeling it. Michael writes, “Today, we
are called to be like Aaron and Hur, standing alongside those who defend our
cities and lives. Our ministry has answered this call by providing essential
supplies to support our reservists and help them stay strong in the face of
adversity. Among the equipment we’ve sent are generators to provide stable
power in critical moments, portable air conditioners to ease the extreme heat
in shelters, gas stoves and cylinders for cooking in the field, and coffee kits
to offer small moments of comfort amid the stress of battle. WATCH OUR VIDEO ON SUPPORTING THE IDF'S INITIATIVE These are not mere accessories but vital
tools that strengthen the spirit and efficiency of our soldiers…. We invite you
to join this mission, standing with our reservists and contributing to Israel’s
defense during this crucial time. Learn more

Avi Mizrachi, of Dugit, rightly
calls the current war “Israel’s Worst Crisis in 50 Years” and says that
even though Israel doesn’t observe the American Thanksgiving Day, they are full
of thanksgiving for the help of American people of faith who have been helping
Israeli Messianic ministries meet the needs of their people in so many way. Avi
writes, “I believe that God has called us here for such a time as this. These
are dark days in Israel, but Dugit Outreach Ministries is shining like a light
in the darkness. Right now, there are 70,000 Israeli civilians away from their
homes—staying with friends, living in their cars, or seeking other temporary
shelter—and many of them do not know where their next meal will come from.
There are so very many who need help and hope … and we need your support to
reach them! May I ask you today to please give as generously as you are able at
this time?....Even a few dollars—makes a difference for a family without food
on the table. Please give
your best gift today to help us help them.
Also from Dugit: Avi and Chaya Mizrachi's daughter D'vora Boaz
gives her testimony in this video from the international Indigenous Coalition
Initiative. "D'vora Boaz was born and raised in Israel. D'vora has a
master's degree from Hebrew University in Political Science and International
Relations. D'vora is an international conference speaker and the author of Deliver My People: The Story of the
Bulgarian Jewish Community and Rabbi Daniel Zion. She lives in Israel with
her husband and two children. D’vora spoke to a delegation of Indigenous
peoples of the nations at the end of October 2024 about her experience of the
war since 7 October 2023.” Watch her 20 minute testimony video here.
Miriam & Shlomy Abramov of Awake Israel post
their short ministry updates on Facebook which is where I saw on Nov 11th
Miriam giving a report on her profile page about the good time they were having at an event
for just the Israeli Messianic leaders.
Miriam wrote, “Messianics in
leadership are hosted annually by Joel Rosenberg. What a time each year.
Lots of rich fellowship and old friends. How pleasant it is for brothers to
dwell together. It’s so crowded. All locals only. Arab Jews and @@Rich
teaching. We must always sit at the Lord’s feet whoever we are in Him. Great
worship too. It’s a beautiful time of refreshing in Christ. We saw so many pastors,
our past professors in (6 year) Bible School, bible publisher society, Worship
leaders, Alliance director, South Beersheva Humanitarian aid director (we are
Central local), Howard Bass, Beersheva, Arab youth work Alon with Arab youth,
and a few special others. It was so special. Refreshed!
Norma wrote in her From this Mountain thoughts from Mt. Zion blog
earlier in the month that I almost missed (11/8) but I’m so glad I discovered
it yesterday because it is such an encouraging word for EVERYONE who have been
praying for someone or many someones among their loved ones – family and
friends sometimes over decades, yet still no sign of that person turning to the
Lord. DO NOT GIVE UP because it may not come until you have already gone on to
the Lord yourself! Do not underestimate how, “Our faith-love relationship with
the Lord, touches our children, touches others, much more than we know. What we
carry spills out of us, especially towards those in our family.” Do yourself a favor and go now to read Faith of Our Fathers.
Guy Cohen of the Harvest of Asher
wrote about what he observed from Yeshua’s life on earth in the scriptures, “the way He engaged with the people, I see a standard
that is opposite all earthly values…. In
our world we see a spirit of revenge operating; you did it to me so I will do
it to you. This is true for individuals and nations. However, Yeshua says we
should not seek to take revenge but to reflect the Kingdom of God (Matthew
5:39-45). With this, we are called to operate in a spirit of discernment;
while at the same time not being used as a punching bag, we are called to be
wise as serpents and yet gentle as doves (Matthew 10:16).
Guy also speaks of the ambush of an
organized group of Muslims in Amsterdam: “Throughout recent history, Europe
allowed large numbers of people which carry a faith opposite the values taught
in the Bible. This opened the door for ushering in false teachings, resulting
in watering down the Christian belief system. Please pray that the
leaders throughout Europe who are Believers in Yeshua, will stand firm in the
faith and proclaim truth throughout the congregations. Pray for healing from the wounds - new and old which have been
afflicted on the souls of the Jewish people.
Thank
you for continuing to pray for: Our soldiers and their families. Those in
the field, recovering from injuries and ones we have lost.| Wisdom to our
leaders in government, military and security.| Peace for those still displaced
from their homes.| Safety and release of the hostages.”

people express their gratitude to the Heavenly Father for the harvest and all
the good things they had this year. The other tradition of this holiday
includes volunteering for those less fortunate by donating food or time to
homeless shelters or those in need. Though we do not celebrate this feast in
Israel we want to take this moment to thank all of you for your generous hearts
and dedication to our outreach projects. We want to share with you this
longstanding and central tradition of giving thanks. With your prayer and

Jennifer Guetta of Plant Hope Israel is
making a call from December 2024 to March 2025 we will be remodeling this house
and moving to a new home on the southside of the Sea of Galilee. Our new
house is located at the southern gate of the village of Poriya Illit (“the
heights of fruitfulness”)…. We pray that our house may become a gate for the
Glory of Yeshua, a refuge and a house of prayer where God's feasts will be
celebrated and where hearts will be touched. The house will also be used for
living and being planted in the land and as an office for Plant Hope Israel
Ministries, where we will hold workshops, worship nights, Bible studies and
hopefully write many books.” They will need painters, builders, handymen,
gardeners, packers and movers. For MORE Information: send an email to: mailto:planthopeisraelministries@gmail.com | (I would love to have included the full details
of this prime time in the Galilee. It sounds like a good opportunity. Write
Jennifer to learn more details of this offer)
Associate pastor at Tiferet
Yeshua in Tel Aviv Moti Cohen writes Raising up
The Last Days Generation of how his own troubled youth was turned
around when he was dramatically transformed after finding Yeshua. Now he
ministers to youth himself “to lead pre-teens through
the foundations of the faith and teach them to read their Torah portions for
bar and bat mitzvah ceremonies.” | This
is the generation that seeks Him, that seeks Your face, even Jacob.
Psalm 24:6 |
He also writes that, “In the last
year alone, eleven families have joined Tiferet Yeshua because they want to be
in a congregation with a Hebrew-speaking children’s ministry. Most are
immigrant families from the former Soviet Union or Ethiopia: their children, on
the other hand, are Hebrew-speaking Israelis who want to learn and read the
Bible in Hebrew. Our dedicated team of teachers and youth leaders faithfully
serve in our children’s and youth ministry every week. When you support
Tiferet Yeshua congregation, you are investing in the “Jacob Generation” - the young men and women who will seek His
face and one day cry out to the ancient gates and doors to lift up their heads
to welcome back Yeshua, the King of Glory.
* DONNA: I have always taken Psalm 24:6 as literal as it is written – the emphasis is just a little different: This
is the generation of them that seek Him, that seek your face, O Jacob. Selah. That
is, The Christian generation that will seek the salvation of unsaved “Jacob”
are the ones who are truly seeking God and His Yeshua. To do that, we must
be the generation who supports the Messianic Jews like at Tiferet Yeshua who
are reaching out to Jacob with the salvation in Yeshua. This is also why
Christian supporters of Israel cannot remain being primarily the older
generation: the younger generation of Christians must be brought in to the
vision of the salvation of unsaved “Jacob.”
