Israel’s 77th
Independence Day
began at sundown Wednesday, April 30 and ended on
Thursday, May 1.
by Donna Diorio
I
believe there is a prophetic significance to the 77th anniversary of
the restoration of the State of Israel and the chapter on forgiveness in
Matthew 18. I
believe that the physical restoration of Israel as a state in 1948 fulfilled
the prophetic Word of the Lord in
Ezekiel 37:4-6. The State of Israel restored.
But today most of Israel is still
not spiritually restored. To become spiritually restored Israelis must come to
faith and be filled with the Holy Spirit. Everyone who comes to faith must receive
God’s forgiveness in Yeshua. The spiritual restoration of Israel is the mandated mission of the Israeli
Messianic Jewish believers. They have been sharing the Gospel message of God’s
forgiveness since 1948 when there were only a handful of them. Today many have
already responded with some estimates at 15 to 20,000. But the national level
of restoration spiritually has still not been seen.
On
the 77th anniversary of Israel’s restoration of a State, I believe
there is the promise of spiritual restoration increasing. I believe the message
of Yeshua in Matthew 18 on forgiveness will be pivotal in every way. For Israel to be restored spiritually as
promised by God in the scriptures, there is going to have to be a lot of
forgiveness released on all sides of the body in faith. Both Jews and
Christians are going to have to forgive each other and that is the hard part
about releasing forgiveness, because unforgiveness often involves trespasses
that are in the natural “unforgiveable.”
I believe that both Jews and
Christians could rightly be unforgiving of the other, IF WE WERE NOT CALLED BY
GOD AS HIS PEOPLE. Forgiveness in not an optional requirement with God;
it is necessity for us all to be sons of God.
When Peter came to Jesus in Matthew 18:21-22
asking how many times should he forgive his brother after the brother sinned
against him. Peter ventured the guess 7 times, because that is the number of
completion. But Yeshua answered Peter saying, not just 7 times, but 77 times
ἑβδομηκοντάκις ἑπτά . Translated as 70 x 7, the Greek ἑβδομηκοντάκις = seventy and
ἑπτά = seven or seventy-seven times. This 70 x 7 is said to be a Hebrew expression symbolizing an infinite
number of times.
It must also noted that in obeying
God by releasing forgiveness and continuing to choose forgiveness, does not mean we don’t remember what caused
our unforgiveness and it certainly does not mean we tolerate evil.
Forgiveness frees us from all the poison spiritual symptoms of
unforgiveness.
I
believe the 70 x7 forgiveness message is important and it will play a significant role in Israel to a new season of
understanding the Gospel message, because of all the things
that can be said of the Gospel Message, forgiveness is a major message. It
is a missed "key to the kingdom." We receive God's
forgiveness without realizing His expectation that His sons will bear His
likeness in being forgiving ourselves. I would say it is the most critical
area of being able to walk with God, to be able to forgive others as we have
been forgiven. If we cannot forgive, we
cannot transform into the likeness of Yeshua.
The
77th. I find something powerfully significant for Israel in that number. It
is because of Matthew 18, the chapter Yeshua/Jesus focused on forgiveness and
finished with a parable about what happens when God forgives us but we choose
not to forgive others. Most believers do not understand what it means. Because
what it means is if we hold onto unforgiveness, as some point our whole life
will become hell on earth. This is because God stops forgiving us if we
continue to hang onto unforgivenss with other.
We ALL must have the ongoing
forgiveness from God for our own protection in life. But most Christians do not
believe God requires us to forgive.
Many of us think we are allowed
to hold onto our unforgivness toward certain people because we believe what
they did cannot be forgiven. We think God won't do anything about the
unforgivness we hold onto, but in fact there is a huge price to pay. Yeshua spelled it out in Matthew 18 the
sins that are ongoing in our own lives, God ceases to forgive us of when we
refuse to forgive others. Our own sins begin to mounts up against us, and
as the parable put it, begins to overflow from our cup. Every unforgiven sin we
put into that cup attracts demons to us. We are vulnerable lacking God’s
ongoing forgiveness. It gives legal standing
demons to attack and afflict us in many varied ways.
When Yeshua said in John 14:30 “the prince of this world is
coming and in Me he has nothing”
– that is what He meant. There was no
legal access to Yeshua by demons exploiting His vulnerabilities because he
didn’t have any. But we have vulnerabilities even after we are saved due to
the ways we continue to sin. If we don’t walk in continually in
forgiveness as a priority in life, it leaves us wide open demons. Our
vulnerabilities are a demon magnet.
This happens to individuals
and it happens to nations. It has happened to Israel,
even the arson terrorism against Israel on Israel’s Independence Day,
demonstrates how the demonic hatred was stirred up to try to burn Israel alive.
It is all about stopping the spiritual restoration that is surely coming. I
am NOT saying we do not fight with all our might against the demonic forces
working in those trying to kill us and wipe us off the face of the earth. We do
fight them. God will even anoint our warfare more and
more as we to become forgivers.
At this 77th year of the
establishment of the State of Israel, in the 77th year God is going
to give revelation to more and more
Israelis about His forgiveness of them, and what their forgiveness of others
releases in their lives that will set them free. Forgiveness is for us, not only for the ones who have acted against
us. Our forgiveness of them can be the witness that brings them to faith, first
it is for our freedom and victory against the problems of life.
Christians must be forgiving
of Jews instead
of becoming anti-Semitic because they see liberal Jews in their own nations
standing on the side of ungodly, humanistic, anti-God political positions. This
is in great part what is happening in the US among influential conservative,
Christian political influencers. They have a failure to see God has a plan to
spiritual restore Jews spiritually and that is why anti-Semitism in the nations
is rising and pushing Jews to immigrate to Israel.
As for Messianic Jews, they
must release forgiveness to Christians
for failure to see God’s clear plan in His Word for uniting Jew and Gentile
believers in Yeshua, into “one new man” – a necessity for Israeli Messianic
Jews to fulfill the spiritual harvest in Israel, Israel’s spiritual restoration
fulfilled. As for Jews who have not come to faith yet, the first thing they
must accept God’s forgiveness for their sins lies in Yeshua. Only then will the
Holy Spirit give them the power to release forgiveness to those whose
trespasses have chained them with bitter unforgiveness.
Israel is deeply hurting right now.
As if the Holocaust and all the pogroms that came before it in the last 2,000
of Christianity were not enough, their current struggle for existence with the
demonic rage operating in Islamist terrorists has shown Israelis little
compassion from the nations. No wonder we are commanded by God to, “Comfort,
comfort My people,” says your God. “Speak tenderly to Jerusalem, and proclaim
to her that her warfare/hardship has been full-filled; her iniquity has been
pardoned. For she has received from the hand of the LORD double for all her
sins.” Isaiah 40:1-2
The 70 x
7 instruction that God has given us all in the Messiah is to keep our
ability to walk in the goodness, grace and forgiveness of God in all the
troubling days ahead when lawlessness and violence abounds.
The only way to keep love alive in our hearts is the 70 x 7 formula.
In Israel's 77th year of restoration as
a modern nation, I believe the message of forgiveness, God's and ours, is going
to be revealed to Israelis in greater measure than ever before, resulting in increasing flow of new
spiritual births throughout Israel. It will also redefine the spiritual life of
those who already believe, but have not yet laid hold of the utmost
importance of forgiveness in our own lives.
To be true sons of God, we
must cross that divide, because loving like Him means forgiving.

Summarized from the Weekly Summary of Prayer
Requests Israeli Ministries
Before proceeding, there has been much activity in
Israel these past several days, with the terrorist-arson fires being set in
forested areas. Many of the people you read about in this prayer summary had to
be evacuated from their homes. Palestinians are calling for more fires to be
set. Also the Israeli Air Force has conducted strikes in Syria where the
terrorists under rule there began murdering villages of Druze and Christians.
Israeli command sent their Air Force in to stop the carnage. Many sites have
been hit, and Turkey and Russia also sent fighter planes into the air space in
an attempt to intimidate Israelis. It was a ploy that did not work and sites
continue to be hit by IAF today, Saturday. Please pray over these issues.
From Jennifer Guetta writes on 77 years of miracles! Time and
Divine Intervention | Read the
article by Jennifer Guetta in full online. Here are a few excerpts |
"....As an archaeologist and historian, I believe only God could have planned
this all so perfectly. TIME IS IN HIS HANDS and the perfect timing of events
shows God’s glory and reveals a magnificent plan He has for mankind. …"The timing of the
events in Israel’s modern history reveal the same kind of
supernatural pattern as we see in the Bible and
shows Gods divine intervention in our modern world and politics. This timing
blows our little human minds away! It reveals a divine creator, who has a
plan."
Among many in her "list of the
dates and events in the history of The State of Israel" are these:
"70 years and 7 days | From November 29, 1947, when the UN voted
for a Jewish State (and an Arab state) to 2017 President Trump recognizes
Jerusalem as Jewish Capital on the December 6 2017 it was 70 years and 7
days." and also
"70
years | Trump moved the embassy to Jerusalem on the 70th anniversary of
Israel on the exact day (14th May 1948). IT WAS ALSO the 40th day of the Omer
counting and Ascension day and likely the year of Jubilee."
There
are MANY more significant dates in her list which I agree and for those with eyes to see, Trump really was raised up
as a Divine helper to Israel among the nations. "The above dates speak for themselves. There
are simply too many patterns for it to be coincidence. These dates reveal
divine intervention and show that God is very real and is keeping His promises
to Israel." Read in full

Reuven Doron and his many family
members including grandchildren had to be evacuated due to the fires. The
moshav they live in is also home to many other Messianic believers, including
the Revive Israel community-ministry. As yet we have no further information on
how the fires impacted them, except we know there has been no life lost, which
is a great report! Pray for all that
have been displaced by the fires.
Reuven wrote on perseverance in prayer noting that we will have many reasons we
could lose hope in the days ahead, but we must persevere in our prayers of
faith like little children do. He
writes, “Having five young grandchildren who are growing up very
close to us, we share with you the following seven “kingdom traits” that
infants and young children display: They
are not proud or self aware as we become later in life. | They are humble and
naturally receive what is given them.| They do not have the capacity to lie or
deceive.| They trust.| They live in the moment.| They forgive easily.| They
love and enjoy life.| As we long for the return of our Lord and the coming
of His kingdom, we pray that these virtues may be reclaimed and restored
in our spirits as the day draws near.
“A Broken Heart | “A broken and a contrite heart, these, O God, You
will not despise.” (Psalm 51:17) | While we see the decline of the evil
powers in all these hostile fronts that sought to suffocate Israel with their epic
“Ring of Fire,” Israel remains a wounded nation. Recent internal government studies reveal that nearly
half our nation is suffering from PTSD symptoms, while nearly 1/2 million
Israelis are diagnosed with an acute PTSD. In fact, a truer term would
be to name it TSD (without the P=Post), since the trauma part of the PTSD
keeps piling up and is far from over. Our warfare goes on from day to
day.
Israel Pochtar of Beit Hallel
in Ashdod & Voice of Judah Ministries
writes of the “Infamous Day | The
miracle of Israel's rebirth in 1948 still echoes through eternity.” (DD: While some Christians claim that the Israel of the Bible is not
the modern State of Israel, we know better!) The
miracles and promises of God continue to extend to this people Israel. It is as Israel Pochtar writes, “When
Israel celebrates her independence, she is not just celebrating survival
against all odds. She is celebrating the eternal faithfulness of God, who keeps His promises from generation to
generation. Every miracle that led to the rebirth of Israel, from the dry
bones of the Holocaust rising into a vibrant nation as in Ezekiel 37, to the
astonishing victories in battles fought for survival, is a declaration that
God's covenant remains unbroken.
The
Key | You…
are the next piece of God’s prophetic puzzle for Israel. Your prayers, support, and love for Israel will be
the sparks that ignite the flames of revival in the Land…. The clock is
ticking. The prophecy in Romans 11:26 hangs in the balance - "and so
all of Israel will be saved."The question is: will you be part of the final push? Will you join us in fulfilling the Great
Commission, spreading the truth to those who have yet to hear? Your prayers and
gifts will fuel our next evangelism effort at Shavuot (Pentecost) and
provide hundreds of non-believing Israelis with the life-changing message of
Yeshua. Every gift, every prayer, and every act of love brings us closer to
the day when Israel will call out to their Messiah and be reborn of the Spirit.
(DD: This is no exaggeration. It is literally the truth. Without us, they
cannot do it.). . . Will you stand with VOJI and
unleash the fullness of God's salvation in Israel? Together, we're not just
witnesses to history - we're catalysts for the return of the King. The time is
now! The need is great! Will you answer the call?

Chaim Malespin of the ARC (Aliyah Return Center) & The Faithful Galileans writes about how they came about giving Holocaust
survivors a special gift that has proven to be greatly restorative to these
elderly survivors of the tragic times they lived through 80 years ago: “In 2015 Dean Bye—co-founder and ARC board
member, was traveling across Canada with the Return
Ministries team. . . . During that journey, Dean felt a gentle nudge from
the Ruach (Spirit)—a quiet impression on his heart to ask
people to donate
jewelry to bless Israel. It reminded him of that divine
moment in the Book of Exodus, when God told the Israelites to
ask the Egyptians for gold and valuables before their departure for the
Promised Land. . . . what followed stunned everyone: people began giving
their most
precious treasures—wedding rings, necklaces, engagement
bands, family heirlooms. This moved our team deeply.
“We couldn’t just melt these down
for funds. No—these gifts deserved a higher purpose….After praying to know what to do
with these treasures, we knew these rings belonged on the hands of Holocaust
survivors—men and women who had lost everything: families,
homes, businesses, and even their own jewelry, even gold fillings in their
teeth, during the horrors of the Shoah. And so began one of the most sacred
parts of our calling….Over the years, our Galilean team has placed hundreds of
Restoration Rings on the fingers of survivors—each one a prophetic act
of honor, healing, and love. Each time, there are tears,
embraces,
and moments where time seems to stand still. Tragic stories are told, Prophecy
is fulfilled. . . . If your heart is stirred, we invite you to sow into this
work—to bless Holocaust survivors, new immigrants (olim), and
those in need across the land. Together, we will see ashes turn to
beauty, and tears wipe away. Donate Jewelery and be part of the restoration. WATCH “Looking forward not back”
From Michael Beener of Sderot at City of Life
congregation, Michael asks, “Who Is the Antichrist Hunting? | VIDEO Holocaust
Remembrance Day | “. . . . The answer is not merely political or social, it is
spiritual. The enemy of God, Satan, hates Israel because he knows that the
story of redemption is inseparable from this people. The return of the Messiah
is tied to Israel. And that’s why the attacks have been relentless
throughout history, through pogroms, wars, terror, and the Holocaust itself. But
it’s not only Israel that he targets. The faithful Church, those who hold on to
the truth of Scripture, are also in his sights. They, too, are a covenant
people. In these last days, both Israel and the true Church are at the
center of the Antichrist’s hatred. And we are already seeing the signs.
Across the world, Judeo-Christian values are crumbling. Churches are emptying.
What was once sacred is now ridiculed or quietly erased…. God remains
faithful to His covenant. His story with Israel is not over. It is alive and
unfolding before our very eyes. WATCH THE

From Sally Shiff at the HaMaayan
congregation in central Israel, just one of her daily updates since the Oct 7 2023
horror unfolded: Today is our Independence day! Seventy-seven years ago
(Jewish calendar) Israel became a nation...again. Three thousand plus years old, and 77 years
young. Sadly, the worst fires in our history started yesterday all over the
Jerusalem area. Terrorists were caught that had set the fires. But it closed
down all our major highways leaving people stranded. As of this writing, the
fires are not contained. All ceremonies were cancelled. Personally, I needed to
run an errand in the area of where the fires were. I DID NOT KNOW ABOUT THE
FIRES. I ran out of time and opted out of running that errand. I would have
been stuck for hours had I gone. It was ( I believe) God's loving provision
over my life. | From a post Sally included from social media:
"Multiple fires were started across Israel in what might be the
largest arson case in our country's history. Strangely, the
only part the fires didn't start: the West Bank. They were only started in
Jewish areas. Even more strangely: for the last few hours Arab social media
accounts were spreading memes call on Palestinian Arabs to set fire to fields
and forests. Coincidence? You will never burn down your home. Unless it was never your
home.
One of the
communities evacuated from the fires that encircled their village is
Revive Israel led by Youval Yanay: 5/2 This year, Memorial Day began with
unexpected sorrow close to home — a large fire broke out, forcing our community
to evacuate the moshav. Some stayed with family and friends, while others
found refuge in the open arms of those who graciously welcomed us into their
homes. Even in the midst of flames, we saw His mercy and the kindness of His
people.
As we remember the fallen and celebrate
Israel’s rebirth, we are also crying out: Lord,
send rain — both physical and spiritual. Pour out Your Spirit upon this
land. Bring awakening to every heart. Heal, restore, and draw Your people
close.”

Consider donations for those who were displaced…as we await news of
damages done to the homes they had to leave.
Kobi & Shani Ferguson of Maoz Israel write about
the investment they have made over many years in training Israeli children in
musical “instruments and vocals
and as they have grown up the fruit of their creativity is now available to
you! We call it WORSHIPFUL music - because some songs are designed
for corporate worship in a congregational setting, while others are meant for
you to listen to in your car and soak in a message that gives glory to God.” A wealth of music genres are part of Maoz Music’s
worship. “But that’s not all—the Maoz
Music worship team will be worshiping all over France this May! France
has often been hostile toward Israel and the French church knows very little of
the Jewish roots of their faith. And so our Israel and Ishmael
Fellowship tour is setting off and even launching a French online
channel that will provide teachings about Israel to the French-speaking world.
We’ll share more about this exciting partnership soon! We covet your prayers
for protection and for God’s presence to restore and open eyes to His plan of
the ages. | Listen to

Christian Arab Ruby Bishai in the leadership team at
Fields of Wheat’s youth camps, Katzir (Harvest)
writes of
a touching experience he had this year camp, his 7th year with
Katzir. In his first camp as “a nervous 21-year old, wide-eyed counselor” he
met a shy but curious teen that he shared “late-night talks, deep questions,
and lots of laughter” with. This
year, Ruby writes, “I was standing in the counselor circle, going over cabin
assignments—and there he was. That same camper from seven years
ago, now a counselor himself. We stood
side-by-side, leading cabins, praying for kids, serving the same God who
brought us both here. I honestly had to pause for a second and just take it
in. From camper to counselor. From first-time volunteer to full-time staff.

Stefan Silver writes for his parent’s ministry Out of Zion “In the two weeks following Passover, Israel commemorates three other significant events that serve as eternal reminders of the birth pangs leading up to the return of Messiah, two are days of remembrance and one is of resurrection. . . . While the nations rage and oppose Israel’s very right to exist, we know this is the Lord’s doing, this is the heart of our God — to build, heal and restore His people even through suffering, and raising them up in His everlasting faithfulness.” Is it any wonder then that God urges US – you and me –to “Comfort, comfort my people,” says your God. “Speak tenderly to Jerusalem...” …. The Lord builds up Jerusalem which he has resurrected it in fulfilment of his covenant promises and in preparation for the everlasting kingdom he will establish. Until that day, may we as believers in the risen Messiah, be found faithful in comforting God’s people — in word, in spirit, in prayer, and in deed through unwavering love. “ | The Carmel Alert News Items Follow the Article - Please subscribe email to receive all.

FINAL NEWS & THOUGHTS TO SHARE
Some of you undoubtedly are following reports of sexual
accusations made against Dr. Michael Brown. Now a third party Elders tribunal as weighed in with their
judgment.
The Elders are Jonathan Bernis, Mark Piefer, Leif Heitland, and Raleigh
Washington. Click above to read
I believe the stand
that the Third Party Elders tribunal in Dr Michael Brown’s investigation made
are correct in rejecting Firefly's expanded
definitions of what is rape, sexual abuse and grooming. Those are
"trauma-informed" definitions that go so far as to be laughable IF it could not ruin the lives of so many
people. These things should have been rejected in the Firefly
report on Mike Bickle and IHOP which expanded to any accusations against
anyone at IHOP in order to try to convict the whole
organization as a ‘predator culture’ in order to shut it all down. This
too should have been rejected.
Personally I
reject the accusation-assault of the “trauma-informed” mob of that anyone who
questions the accusers are just being callous and insensitive to the victims of
sexual abuse.
I'm not. I've had several sexual abuse incidents happen to me in my life. Where I draw the line is in just accepting accusations as unassailable
fact. There
should never be a sin or a crime that gets a pass on rigorous investigation
of evidence and fact finding proof.
I believe in the power of
God & the blood of Jesus to heal and restore the truly repentant to the
uttermost.
Including victims of ALL sins. There is no special category of sin that
cannot be fully healed GOD’s way – through the blood of Yeshua, forgiving and
leaving it at the altar of God for punishment of the unrepentant. I
do not believe even clergy who have succumbed to sexual temptations can NEVER
be trusted again to ministry leadership. In many ways, to me this is like Christians claiming
that Israel can never be restored to God because their failures were too
egregious. That is a lie that is the same type of
thinking in my view, that ministers cannot be restored to their ministries
given time.
When
Paul says that “the gifts and calling of
God are irrevocable,” I believe that is God leaving the door open to the truly
repentant, those who have, in God’s own estimation, truly repented and turned
to walk in all sincerity and fear of the LORD. It is not man’s judgments
that count in who ministers, it is God’s
call. He leaves the gifts and calling in place, and will open the doors to minister
to those He alone deems fit. If you
do not believe this, you just may be trying to override God’s right to the
final word.
The
feminist ideologies of the MeToo movement mixed with some cherry picked
scriptures will never bring healing to those truly traumatized by sins against
them. Let
the world judge by worldly standards, but let the people of God judge by God’s Word. We
MUST deal
with sin in the camp, but we must
not set some outside of God’s power to restore fully.
All of the “CSA” chaos within
the body of Christ should instead have been done with the heart of restoration
for all not for accusers only. It is because of the mixture of trying to
deal with biblical sin by humanistic, anti-God ideologies. - Donna Diorio
