NOTICE: This entry of Arrows from Zion for July 11, 2025 is separated from the cover story that accompanied it in the subscription like, My Path to One New Man in Him | From Music Addict to Israel Advocate. Also, for some reason I have not yet figured out, suddenly I have not been able to publish photos to this blog.
Arrows
from Zion
Summarized from the Weekly Summary of Prayer
Requests Israeli Ministries
I had no idea until late in this day, Thursday 7/10, what Asher Intrater had
written in his article Lion
Arising & Soleimani’s Six-Pack. The Holy Spirit did and I’m sure this is why my cover story
focus this week was about my own journey back to God and how the 1979 Iran Hostage Crisis played into
that.
Asher also is writing with the 1979 conflict with Iran as the
backdrop:
"For two years now in Israeli press
conferences, Netanyahu has quoted from Balaam’s prophecy of Numbers
23:24 that one day Israel would be a people that would arise like a lion to
take the prey. That expression has become the name of the IDF operation." This is a MUST READ Click link above Lion Arising

in our prayers and declarations. PS: We will resume our weekly lobal
Broadcasts in August.

From Howard & Randi Bass of Yeshua’s Inheritance in Beer Sheva “Shalom
from the US of A on the 4th of July! Randi and I are in Tulsa, OK,
with our son, Evan, and daughter-in-law, Joyanna, and with her parents. We can't remember the last time that we have
been in the States for the Fourth. We
will go to Phoenix on Monday to be with our oldest, Tamar, and Ezra, who are
expecting their first (and a boy) about that time. | Before we left Israel, I
did another video about "the situation" here: What's Going On?
A message from Joel Jelski, the Director of National Katzir Youth Ministry of
the Fields of Wheat
team. The July 26-31 Harvest Camp will focus on the question of What is Love? Based on “And
You Shall Love - V’Ahavta.” Joel sent the whole Devotional 1 (out of 4)
that they have written for this camp along Yeshua’s declaration that all the
commandments are fulfilled on the basis of the first two commandments about
love God and others : 1. With all your heart 2. With all your soul 3.
With all your mind (or strength in Hebrew) 4. You shall love your neighbor as
yourself.
Joel’s prayer requests are for 1. The teens that have signed up to
come to the camp - that they will come ready, with open hearts, and ready to
encounter God in a real and meaningful way. 2. Our small group leaders that will be
leading the teens through this process, praying and processing together with
them everything that God will be speaking to them throughout the camp. Pray
that they come ready to give, with full hearts, and that they would also
encounter God as they serve the teens.
3. Protection over the physical place where they camp will take
place, at the foothills of Mt. Hermon. Protection over all our activities
- hikes, games, sports, kayaking in the Jordan river, volunteering with local
farmers, and other activities we will be doing.
4. All the speakers who will be sharing messages throughout the
camp, plus the worship leaders and musicians.
I want to
say also that I am SO grateful that this year’s camps have been fully funded
by so many people who deeply care about our Katzir (harvest) camps. This
national ministry to young Israelis would not be possible without your generosity
and partnership. We don’t take this for granted. Thank you for being
a part of what God will be doing in the “V'Ahavta” camp!

You may have heard about the Hamas
ambush of IDF: Chaim Malespin of Aliyah Return Center sends this VIDEO I was in Gaza when there was
ambush meters way! | He writes on
July 4th about being a dual passport citizen of the USA & Israel
pointing to Truman being the first leaders to recognize Israel as a state in
1948. “Prophecy still continues to be fulfilled as Jewish People return home
to the promised land even in times of war.
It’s estimated that around 27,000 Jewish people have made Aliyah so far in 2025
— which is significant, especially considering that Israel is still at war with
Iran and her proxies…. According to AP News, antisemitism has risen by 2,000%
since October 7th. Many Jewish families in France and the UK are now seriously
considering moving to Israel. The situation in the USA and Canada has also
worsened. In the U.S., there have been an estimated 10,000 antisemitic
incidents, including the tragic murder of three Jewish people simply because
they were Jewish. In Canada, around 6,000 incidents have been reported…. All
of this reminds us that we need to pray. Pray for those making Aliyah…. Another
way you can help is by supporting new Jewish families, especially those
struggling financially. We assist in many ways….as Aliyah continues to rise
in the coming years. … 2,500

Much going on a Revive Israel, “In these days of ongoing conflict and uncertainty in Israel, we’re encouraged to see how God is still moving, opening doors for ministry, building up the Body, and refreshing those on the front lines of service. Here’s what’s been happening across our Revive Israel community: The Yanai Family is currently in France connecting & refreshing | Tal Haroni, one of our core leaders, teaching at a special conference in France.| The Almeida Family just returned from a challenging ministry journey in Europe.| Neveen has been holding down the fort, caring for our home base, the farm, and the animals. | Here in Israel, after weeks of intense rocket attacks, there’s a growing sense of hope. …Amid it all, we keep our eyes on what truly matters, the Gospel, salvation in Yeshua, and the living hope we have in Him.

Guy Cohen who leads the Harvest
of Asher in Acco writes
about “Deeds of the
Nicolaitans and Parashat Balac” – “The doctrine of the
Nicolaitans is essentially the spirit of Balaam repeated in the new covenant,
leading Believers into compromise. The warning is clear, do not follow false
teaching and do not let spiritual compromise take root. Yeshua calls His people
to faithfulness, purity and to stand boldly in truth.”
July 9th Sally Shiff of HaMaayan congregation was writing how nice it was not to be
running to the bomb shelter in the middle of the night, the next day she
writes, “The
War is not over with the Houthies. Five
am we were called to the bomb shelter once again from a ballistic missile
attack. Thankfully all is well.” Her prayer points over the past several days
were focused on the talks between Netanyahu and Trump going on in D.C.”
Whatever shakes out, we know God is FOR Israel, not against her.
7/8 Sadly, 5 soldiers lost their lives last
night in a horrific
battle in northern Gaza
THIS IS SO GOOD! A dear
prayer partner friend was interviewed by all Israel news:
7/7 Twenty-one
months (21) six hundred
and forty days (640) since then...More than 1,200 Israelis
were killed on October 7. Over 240 hostages were taken into Gaza and
continues unabated against Israeli civilians, with the launching of more than 12,000
rockets. Fifty hostages remain still in Gaza Israel’s Silent Heroes: The Ones Who
Stopped Iran’s Missiles | KAN 11"
(side note, my cousin is one of these silent heros)
She also
sends this great quote from "US ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee:
“I leave tomorrow for DC to be part of the WH meetings with POTUS and PM. Pray
that an EFFECTIVE end to hostages being held and the war in Gaza will happen.
Not something that will leave Hamas in power or give them a victory; Pray that
the partnership between US and Israel will be strengthened; Pray for the
Embassy in Jerusalem that our evacuated staff will be able to return back to
Israel soon; Pray that there will be a way forward for Judea and Samaria to be
under sovereignty of Israel, but in a way that will give the Arab population
there a better and more secure life and future than they have with the
Palestinian Authority.”
Leon Mazin sends a good report about the music school at “Our daughter
Congregation Music School (“Keshet Tzlilim”) in Nof ha-Galil (View of the
Galilee) has successfully completed its very first year! We congratulate all
the students on their progress and achievements and extend our heartfelt thanks
to the dedicated teachers. It’s been a
wonderful beginning — and we’re excited for what’s to come!”
The fostering of musical ability
in children is a big focus for this congregation, and really among the Jewish
people as a whole. They have a school of music in the Return to Zion
congregation as well.
From Claude and Michelle Ezagouri of
the Morning Star Fellowship in Tiberias, they are thanking God for His protection over them
during this difficult period for Israel. In prayer requests they ask, “Please
pray that this peaceful break will be as long as possible. Our fellowship
car engine died and we had to buy a secondhand car, which we are in the process
of doing thanks to a Donor’s help. This
came right when we were trying to rebalance our budget because of a monthly
imbalance from the beginning of the year. We had to lower the two and a
half salaries, but expenditure is hard to decrease although we are trying, Prices have
considerably increased in Israel and the Dollar has constantly devalued versus
the Shekel, which has decreased our income from overseas gifts.
Please pray that we may have God’s wisdom in this. We truly trust Him as He has
always been faithful to us.
DD:
I appreciate Claude speaking frankly about this situation that exists for all
the ministries in Israel. Please do what you are able to help.
As usual, Reuven Doron delivers thought provoking commentary about the current
news events – overlaying those events with prophetic parallel. As he writes
truly, ““That saith of Cyrus,
He is my shepherd, and shall perform all my pleasure: even saying to Jerusalem,
‘Thou shalt be built; and to the temple, Thy foundation shall be laid.” (Isaiah 44)
President
Trump and his administration want the Gaza War to end ASAP in order to pursue a
vision of a peaceful and productive Middle East. Extending the Abraham Accords
with more Arab nations, and especially with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, is the
ultimate goal. According to current US foreign policy, this goal justifies
any means to achieve it. Current Middle Eastern politics may not give the
intercessors great joy these days, but we perceive that they are, nevertheless,
necessary in order to move forward.
King
Cyrus was chosen by God to fulfill the divine purposes regarding the rebuilding
of Jerusalem and the Temple. He wasn’t chosen for the task because of any
virtue or excellence of character; rather the Scripture says he was chosen because
he“… shall perform all my pleasure.” Pray for President Trump and for Bibi as they notch out a deal moving forward. Partner with us
BIBI’S LEGACY | While
high-level negotiations and political shenanigans are unfolding in Washington
DC even as we write these words, let us tell
you how most Israelis feel about it. In spite of the American pressure to wrap up a deal with Hamas and bring
the Gaza War to an end, many here in Israel hope that our Prime Minister
will not cave in to the pressures and compromise Israel’s security for
short-term political gain.. .. History tells us that negotiating with
Jihadi terrorists who commit their lives and destiny to Israel’s destruction is
meaningless.
Ending the war WITHOUT a
total removal of Hamas from Gaza while securing deep territorial control across
ALL of Israel’s borders will simply start the countdown for the next massacre
and the next war. Yet, while we
look to the Lord for His hand to rest upon our leaders and guide us according
to His plan, we must remember that Bibi is not a young man, nor is he
healthy. Given his personal status, political and legal challenges at home,
and the immense pressures he must be under by President Trump and the European
Union, we will not be surprised if the current talks lead Israel into painful
compromises for the hope of further integration into the Middle East.
Netanyahu,
in spite of his failures and the ongoing scandals surrounding him, his family,
and his governing coalition, has achieved impressive results in security and
regional affairs. Given Israel‘s complex political environment, he had
to (or chose to) work with the Ultra-Orthodox parties to form a majority coalition,
and is therefore
beholden to them and to their often ungodly agendas and priorities.
You need to realize that
these Ultra-Orthodox parties present the most “Anti-Messiah“ sentiment in the
Israeli society and are the ones who persecute the Gospel and its messengers
the most. We hope and pray that the Lord
will “contain and arrest” these religious strongholds, yet we realize that these forces may be necessary for Israel’s
forward motion according to God’s plan.”
There was much much more, but to
