How to Understand the Vast Body of Prophetic Scriptures on the Last Days

 Sep 21 2025: Yesterday morning I had a question in private chat from a young mother I have been speaking with the past year. Sara wrote that "There are videos of (Charlie) Kirk saying he was having trouble with the government of Israel, which is different from the people and the land."

I have never seen anything to indicate that Charlie Kirk believed that rejection of modern Israel not being the Israel of God in the Bible. I don't think he could possibly have believed that Christian rejectionist view of Israel. There could be no explanation for Charlie's love and loyalty for Israel if he did not believe the modern state of Israel was the God-restored Jews of the Bible back to the precise homeland God promised to restore them to.

We have to know where we stand and why, especially as we are clearly entering troubling times that have been prophesied in our Bibles. None of us really know exactly where we are in the MANY prophetic scriptures regarding the last days, but ALL of us should know that we have reached a TURNING POINT of entering into those days.

If videos exist with Charlie Kirk saying he was having trouble with the Israeli government, it should not be a big surprise to anyone. Israel is for the majority not yet saved - but the Scripture is clear that when the dust settles, "all Israel shall be saved." Does "all" mean every person living in Israel right at this moment will be saved? No. But what "all" does indicate that the majority of Israelis will come to faith. It will be so big that they could be referred to as a 'Yeshua nation' - saved by faith, like the USA was once called a "Christian nation" before secularism and paganism began to call all the shots nationally. But that is a subject for another time.

As I replied to Sara: I have issues with the Israeli government all the time! But not once is it about how Israel is defending itself against terrorists! The West will increasingly come to understand that our own fight to survive is going to be our willingness to defeat Islamists seeking dominion over our govts.

If Charlie began siding with those who are against Israel defeating Islamists that are trying to annihilate them, then to me it just goes to show how the West - including Christians - remain in deception about the truth of Islamists.

Right now the body of Messiah in Israel is increasing its all out efforts - even on limited funding - to bring Israelis to salvation. That is why it is important that we assist them financially. Because those that aren't saved in Israel - especially the religious - are going to be the welcoming committee for the antichrist.

They will not wake up until that man pulls off his mask revealing his intention to be god of this world. That's 3 1/2 years into the tribulation.

Like Jesus said, we have to work while there is still light, because at that point it will be so dark it will be hard to win people to faith. When I say dark it is in the same sense of "gross darkness" covering the earth. This is deception so thick and dark it will be like people living their lives in total deception to reality.

At that time many will become like Charlie, assassinated, even like Stephen was stoned in the beginning of the spread of faith.

I can see that God is leading us into a reconciliation of how Christians look at the end times and how Messianics look at the end times. It is time for the understandings to merge so we can work together with all our might while there is still light in the world.

Some people think to be pro-Israel is to never have a criticism of the Israeli govt but that is not true. Those who believe everything Israel does is golden are the most clueless of Israel-supporting Christians. They are often in the eschatological pre-Trib rapture camp too. These have the least understanding of what God wants from Christians in assisting the Israeli ministries in their outreaches to unsaved Israel. If we believe that God has something other than the testimony of salvation by faith in Yeshua/Jesus in store for Israel that does not require Christian commitment toward assisting that testimony of salvation, then we are hindering God's plans, not helping them.

Ephesians 2:15 is clear that God's end times plan is to make Christians by faith and Jews by faith in Yeshua/Jesus as ONE as He and His Son are one. Our oneness is like when a husband and wife are truly one in marriage - both in faith of the Lord, and both in their callings before God.

We also cannot make Tucker Carlson's isolationist obsession into one of those reasons we criticize the Israeli government. Israel is NOT committing genocide, but if they do not remove all Gazans out of that space, the Gazans are so indoctrinated to genocide of Israeli Jews, that they will always be coming at Israel with even bigger blood baths than Oct 7 2023 was.

Terror-ist indoctrinated Arabs MUST be eradicated from Israel and Israel knows this better than all the Western nations who are currently being completely overtaken by Islamists. The British are a prime example! The EU nations are in almost full obedience to Islamists too because they fear the all out blood bath of fight back to hold onto their unique national identities pre-Islamic invasion. They opened the door in Western compassion to those dedicated to conquer their land and force obedience to Islamic domination.

Most Americans are oblivious to this as well. The majority of young people have preferred the lying narratives to become "pro-Palestine/anti-Israel." That is an example of what Isaiah 60:2 means by "gross darkness" covering the people.

Politically, the power and financial greed of American politicians have set us on the same road as the UK & Europe - riddled with Islamist hubs, that will shortly become America's "no go zones" places even the police do not want to enter for fear of reprisals.

In Houston already there is an imam actually going around warning the businesses surrounding his mosque that they must shut down all pork and alcohol sales or suffer the consequences. They mean to enforce their beliefs wherever they have gained a predominance of population. In Texas that is in MANY places. It is not just Dearborn, Michigan. These hub cities have been quietly developed across America. This is gross darkness too because the average American doesn't even want to know about these lurking dangers ahead.

In terms of teaching about the last days, there is a distinct difference in how Christians teach about the prophecies of the last days and how Messianic Jews teach about the prophecies of the last days. I have recently understood they are like two templates of how thing are going to develop - often from the same prophetic scripture verses.

Imagine two overlays diagramed on clear plastic sheets - one representing Christian focus of the last days and the other representing Messianic Jewish focus of the last days. I would place the Messianic overlay down first - because any Christian teaching of the last days that leaves out the foundational presence of Israel at the center of what God is orchestrating in the last days is going to misunderstand many points of the last days prophecies.

My point with this is that both perspectives have great validity, but ONLY when they are laid together in such an overlay will we be able to see the whole truth of what God is doing in bringing Jew and Gentile by faith in Yeshua/Jesus into the wholeness of "one new man" - a fantastically GRAND dream that ONLY God could dream for us, as at loggerheads as we so often are that our way is the right way. No: God's way is the ONLY right way.

There are so many aspects of the last days prophetic scriptures that give us detailed insights into the times, but we have to merge the things God has given Christians about these things with what God has given the saved Jews about these things.

It is hard to imagine that Christian interpretation of the end times can be fully and perfectly explained without the inclusion of God's intentions for the spiritual restoration He is doing in Israel. Likewise, I do not believe that Messianic Jewish interpretation of the end times can only speak to the part Israel and the Messianic Jews are playing in the end times.

This exclusion of what the two have to bring to the conversation about the end times is almost like Luke 9:46 when an argument broke out between the disciples about who would be the greatest in the kingdom.

For a long time the Messianic Jews have been laboring to get the Christian world to even acknowledge their existence, but when it comes to laying out the prophecies of the end times both the Christian insights and the Messianic Jewish foundational insights into what God is bringing together in the last days (saved Jews and Christians as one) - there has to be a servant attitude towards each other. I hope I am being clear, It is not one or the other that is most important, it is the two together that is important. Not one message for Christians and one message for Jews - not when God's message is the two shall become one.

I believe that only in merging the overall vision with the details of both will we get a complete picture of what is ahead and how we must walk forward into the times, knowing what God is doing with ALL of us. Then we will all be pregnant with Zion.

Arrows 2025 Sep 20 Wake Up for the Dream to Come True

Message to the Israeli Ministries
featured in my Weekly Summary of Prayer Requests
 from Israeli Ministries and Arrows from Zion –
My Grateful Thanks to ALL of you! 

In the earliest years since I started this ministry in August of 2001, I adopted a slogan from the Bible because I was already seeing the benefits it spoke of. It is Proverbs 27:18 Whoever keeps the Fig Tree will eat its fruit; and the one who waits on his Master will be honored.”
     I recognized that by tending each week to the prayer letters Israel ministries sent me, pouring over the collective wisdom of each of your ministries, you all were imparting wisdom to me beyond – even far beyond my own capacity. I am so grateful to all that you have written over the years that not only informed me of events impacting Israel, but also reflected the hearts of your own years of ministry. This is gift beyond description to me, and I am genuinely cry sometimes when I am preparing the Weekly Summary, reading over the things you all are saying. I was crying over this one when I realized the magnitude of what this dedication to gather your letters each week has done for me personally. It is such a gift – and I am a firm believer that it was God wants for the WHOLE BODY.
     Both Jewish and believers from the nations are meant to exchange what God has given His people – both Christian and believing Jews. We are incomplete without each other. Each side of the two parts of the body have things from God that must be interlaced together as He joins us into one new man. We have so far to go in this respect, but one thing that has begun to come clear to me – we have more than one generation of younger people we must activate our spiritual priorities upon. I say this as a 74 year old “Baby Boomer.” The fathers and the grandfathers have to see the DIRE situation that most of the younger generations are in – and I would include the age group of our own sons and daughters in their 50’s & 60’s because they have such blended convictions – blended biblical morality with humanistic morality.
     Already in the US we are seeing Gen Z (also coming to be known as Zoomers) who were born between 1997 and 2012 (13 to 28 years old) are becoming more open to spiritual faith. I am sure the same is likely happening in Israel because of even greater stresses on society. The time is now, like never before to not only pray for the children and the children’s children, but to take every  opportunity to share the wisdom God has given us in our many years of walking with Him. They are searching for the life ring because many are drowning in the distress of the sea of humanity. 
     Again, thank you all for sharing your abundance with me all these years. Donna Diorio

September 20 2025
We have to Wake Up 
for their Dream to Come True
Whose Dream?
The dreams God has given them to fulfill  His Vision!  

I remember when Guy Cohen first shared the dream of a Messianic school and community Center 6/16/2009. Here is what he wrote:
     “One of the main issues that we need prayer and a breakthrough for is the issue of our children. The children of believers, like all children in Israel, are required by law to go to school. We have a number of options regarding this issue. There are religious schools in which the Torah and its values are central yet when the staff discovers that we are believers, our children will be rejected and expelled from such a school. The second option is that of a secular school. The children come home from this school setting with all that they have been exposed to in a very worldly setting. They are faced with teachings of evolution and well as exposure to things like yoga. A third option that is available is that of an Arab school. There are Christian Arab schools but the teaching is all conducted in Arabic (a language that our children do not speak) and the system is associated with Catholicism, and many times is not Zionist or a lover of Israel. At this time, home schooling is not an option to us and therefore I feel that God gave me the vision for establish a private Zionist believing school.” (DD: “Zionist” is not evil – the reality of Zionism is that ultimately it is God’s vision of Jew & Gentile in the faith of His Son! When that unity becomes reality, we will see Zionism as God sees it: SPIRITUAL life)

     Donna: That was sixteen years ago. As you can see from the artist rendering of the type of center Guy Cohen is envisioning for the Messianic children of his area and for a community gathering place for many activities and outreach opportunities, the dream did not end there. It was put to paper in 2012. The dream lives on – as it must because we are entering the season of spiritual harvest in Israel going from a trickle to a river of life and healing so wide, one could not swim across to the other side.
     That is the vision in Ezekiel 47:1-12 of the water of life and healing trickling from the under the threshold of the temple  -  the living temple made of living stones (1 Peter 2:4-5.) Ezekiel saw the water begin as a trickle, the increase to ankle-deep, then to knee-deep, then to waist-deep, and it became to Ezekiel “a river that I could not cross, because the water had risen and was deep enough for swimming. . . .the water flows out ….When it empties into the Sea (of humanity), the water there becomes fresh.”
     This is the spiritual harvest coming to Israel and Christians have the honor to participate in it – IF we will wake up and discern between God’s spiritual builders of the living temple in Israel, and those who are only trying to do in the arm of the flesh what only the Spirit of the God of the Living Temple can do for restoring His people.
      I want to thank Guy Cohen for reposting his dream for the region in Israel that was given by God to the Tribe of Asher. It is Guy’s birthplace and the place where he has led a congregation from its beginning years ago – even in the face of many trials, religious persecution and lack of adequate  funding.
     Unfortunately I have found that not only do Christians not recognize the significance of the living temple that Yeshua is building in Israel, but a great many of Messianic ministries in the Diaspora do not recognize it either! If we are going to donate finances to the support of Israel, shouldn’t it be FIRST to congregations and ministries who are doing outreach to Israelis unto salvation? Israel-supporting Christians AND Messianics should be financially supporting the household of faith FIRST.

The Dream and Vision of Guy Cohen
Harvest/Katzir of Asher Congregation
A Messianic Jewish Center for Acco, Israel
by Guy Cohen, as posted on 9/15/2025
Over the course of more than twenty years of ministry at Katzir–Asher in Acco, we have been privileged to serve our community in cooperation with the authorities and the welfare departments in a wide range of areas: operating a soup kitchen, distributing food baskets and vouchers to families in need, providing assistance to soldiers during times of emergency, granting scholarships to mothers pursuing higher education, and renovating and restoring kindergarten facilities. All of this we do out of a sense of spiritual calling, and with gratitude to the Lord and to the Body of Messiah around the world who support us.
     Alongside the many acts of service and kindness we bring to our surroundings, we are aware that at times we are seen as “nice but dangerous.” This perception stems from our unique identity – a community made up of both Jews and non-Jews united in faith in the Messiah. Although this sometimes stirs tension, we believe that our work above all testifies to our commitment to values of love, care, and sincere concern for every human being.
     Yet despite our broad social contribution, we encounter closed doors when it comes to receiving land allocations for establishing a Messianic community center. While other religious groups are granted support and land, we find ourselves left aside, regarded as “the scum of the world.” This sense of discrimination does not weaken us, but rather strengthens our resolve to continue serving society with faith, hope, and the pursuit of true equality in the public sphere.
     Through this letter I turn to believers worldwide: help us rise and stand firm despite the opposition. Your support can enable us to continue shining light in our community, to build the Messianic center we so greatly need, and to pass on to future generations a legacy of love, service, and living faith. If you have political connections, or if you know leaders who can stand alongside us, please help us by making those connections and opening doors.
     Sadly, we also see that some who believe in Yeshua choose to support the local religious establishment – the very one that often opposes our work. At this time, more than ever, we need true unity in the Body of Messiah: that we would choose to stand together, support one another, and be a living testimony of the Lord’s love in this world.
     (In his social media post, Guy displayed other pictures including) the mayor gladly allocating buildings for Torah study to the city rabbis, with smiles and celebration. This naturally raises the question: what about the Body of Messiah? When will our children also have a place in the community – a land allocation where we can fulfill the vision of the Lord, strengthen the children of Messiah through the study of the Scriptures, and lift up praise to Yeshua?
     Donna: That must come from the support of worldwide body of the Lord getting in sync with God’s plans.

A Glimpse Behind the Veil | Who Killed Charlie Kirk? Spoiler: It Wasn't The Jews| by Rachel Boskey | | When Charlie Kirk was assassinated, I sensed that the veil to the unseen realm was lifted slightly, making it possible to see a bit more clearly into the world of the spirit. Like after a nuclear blast, a shock wave of power opened the door into another dimension or spiritual perspective. read full commentaryl online

     9/14 Jewish Restoration You Can Believe In | by Avner Boskey  | ….An important question needs to be raised: What does it mean to believe in the restoration of the Jewish people to their Promised Land? What does that restoration process look like? How will the nations respond as the God of Israel brings that restoration to fruition?

     Your prayers and support hold up our arms and are the very practical enablement of God to us in the work He has called us to do.

World War and An Army of Voices | by Orna Grinman, A Sign & Example ministry | There is much talk these days about the necessity of raising up an end-time army. However, it mostly refers to a spiritual one, such that will fight evil through prayer and intercession. Is That All There Is? Charlie Kirk’s assassination last week made it clear to me that this army cannot function only in the spiritual realm. Simply because the frontline the Body is facing these days is not only spiritual.

The Faithful Galilleans Chaim Malespin wrote brilliantly on what Charlie Kirk’s assassination means for the rest of us: “Charlie Kirk once said that if pastors would boldly preach the truth, he would be out of a job. We need to recognize that we are in a war, and it may not be the kind of war you think. It is a battle between the kingdom of darkness and the kingdom of light….If we do not do our job of being a light in this world, the darkness will spread. We are called to be watchmen! Charlie Kirk has been an example of someone who pushed back against the darkness and brought forth the light. I believe this clash of kingdoms is also manifesting here in Israel. The enemy is fighting us at every level—whether through Hamas, Iran and its proxies, the social media “TikTok generation,” “Queers for Palestine,” the UN, ICC arrest warrants, world leaders, liberal voices both inside and outside of Israel, internal divisions, societal clashes, intimidation, cancel culture, antisemitism, fear, ridicule, lies, poor choices, sin, and idolatry. And this same enemy is working to erode the Judeo-Christian foundations of Western society.

So what can we do? I believe it starts on our knees and asking God to show you how you can be a light in our world today. Not all of us will have a platform like Charlie but you can be a light right where you are. Follow Chaim’s daily videos & Consider sowing into Faithful Galileans

I cannot say enough about how much I appreciate the prophetic voice of Reuven Doron – just subscribe and you will see for yourself. His writing on The Third Day is a powerful must read. Write him and ask for it: “The Bible assures us that the God of Israel will not only preserve His nation during the "two prophetic days," (the 2,000 years of exile and 'national death'), but that He will also heal and revive us on the Third Day, that we might live in His sight. We are in the Third Millennium after 2,000 years since the Cross of our Messiah. According to Hosea, we are on the brink of resurrection life. Please don't let the birth pains and darkness dishearten you.”

     In The Third Day newsletter Reuven Doron sent with this video, | WATCH Reuven’s Resurrection Time.  I don't believe I have ever heard anyone say this better than Reuven: "Israel will continue to fight, to survive, and to rise into newness of

life through God’s amazing grace regardless of the pain. And it’s her emerging resurrection-life and supernatural success that will continue to feed the global monsters of jealousy and hatred. The failing governments of the world believe that they are voting about “Palestine” in their Woke/Progressive chants. The truth is that they are voting about their own destiny. Israel is God’s last call to a lost world."

Sally Shiff at HaMaayan congregation  “The assassination of Charlie Kirk has really caused me to pause and consider the entire ramifications of it in the spirit….thinking about his generation and the generation given to him to touch. Turning 65 this December causes me to think about the generations after me. What impact are they having now and what will their impact have when it's their turn to hand over to those younger than them. The generation that was just 1 year old or not born yet did not experience September 11, 2021. And in Israel, that same generation is now on the battlefield fighting for our freedom from terrorism and return of our hostages. They are the next leaders of Israel. They are the next "Charlie Kirk's" if you would allow me the license to go that far.

Ronit Bender attends the Carmel Congregation & in every letter she sends give us a great model of being light to the people in her community – drawing complete strangers into friendship that leads them to relationship in Yeshua. As was pointed out, we cannot all have Charlie Kirk’s platform, but we can ask God to point us to people as Ronit does, that we can bless with His goodness, love and mercy. Her Sept letter had a theme to those God pointed out to Ronit to bless and that was the people in daily life who are seemingly invisible to everyone around them – the guys who pick up the garbage, the guy who cleans the toilets where we go to work out or swim, the dishwasher of a restaurant, the elderly. The invisible ones God wants to tell them He sees them and loves them too. Ronit was happy to be the one to tell them with a blessing.

     She also wrote about the 48 hostages still in Gaza: “Hamas attacked various villages and a music festival in the early morning hours of the last day of the Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot) in 2023. I had a vision in that first week that Yeshua walked into the tunnels that the fighters have been using and it was full of dead bodies. Then I could not understand it, now I do….). It is unclear how many of the 48 are still alive, maybe none, but Please pray for all 48 of them to return to Israel.

They are already involved it this weekend – The Tree of Life Ministries led by Ariel & Shayla Hyde have taken 12 new believers who have been “struggling – they’re facing massive challenges, pressures from family and friends, spiritual attacks, and temptations. Many of them haven’t reached real stability in their walk yet, and they’re having difficulty connecting with a local congregation.

     We’ve been seeking God’s face for all of them often, and we believe God led us to hold a Holy Spirit Weekend with some of them – this weekend!” Drawn from Ephesians 19 when the apostle Paul arrived, saw the ““disciples” who were clearly lacking in understanding and the infilling of the Spirit. Once this group of 12 disciples received more instruction and “the Holy Spirit came upon them” (v. 6), God did incredible things through Paul and this group over the next season. A revival broke out in Ephesus – many repented of their sins, believed in Jesus, Yeshua, and burnt their idolatrous books (vv. 18-20). The Gospel spread so rapidly and powerfully that “all who dwelt in the province of Asia heard the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks” (v. 10). And God performed unusual miracles in the area, confirming the word of the Gospel (vv. 11-12). So we’re excited about what God can do through around 12 new disciples – and He has indeed promised to do great things through Israeli believers in our time. But nothing happens without God’s supernatural help, and so we would like to earnestly ask for your prayers!”  Pray for this work to be GREAT & MIGHTY & FRUITFUL!

Dugit’s Avi Mizrachi writes, “If you could stand beside us in Israel and see the lives your support is touching, your heart would overflow.” He tells of a soldier who had just finished his service who called for a New Testament in Hebrew. He could not wait to get his hands on it, coming in the pouring rain immediately to pick it up instead of waiting for it to be mailed to him. Avi only spoke briefly with the man about Yeshua and right then and there the Lord touched the soldier’s heart and he gave his life to Yeshua on the spot!  “Friend, this is exactly what your giving makes possible: moments when the Good News is shared and lives are transformed for eternity.”

     Avi also speaks of how after 40 years ministry in Israel  he has seen how God uses the biblical feast days to move His people to come to faith. This is why all the ministries are preparing to bless in this opportune season of the Fall Feasts of the LORD. He writes that so many in Israel today “because of war and a deep financial crisis, many families cannot afford to celebrate with dignity. Your gift today can put a High Holy Days meal on their table…. At the same time, your support fuels our evangelistic coffee house, media ministry, local Messianic fellowship, and other outreaches—creating more moments like the one with Mr. S.” (the soldier). “Now is the time. Will you give your most generous gift today to meet both the spiritual and practical needs of people in Israel this High Holy Days season? Be part of what God is doing in Israel right now.”

Once again I have to commend the great wisdom I always find in the letters from Howard Bass of the Nachalat Yeshua/Yeshua's Inheritance congregation in Beer Sheva. He touched on so many issues that we deal with personally – from having children that embrace living in Israel despite the stresses, and the faith: “There is much to do here towards influencing and impacting the society, and to build up the church in this country, and in this part of the world -- the focal point of all history. The center of gravity, so to speak, is here in the land of so much conflict ever since He brought the children of Israel out of Egypt….(to give them a promised land) for His purpose and glory. The battle is raging in our generation! Though victory be snatched out of what may seem certain defeat, that great day of deliverance and victory will surely come! ….a young Ukrainian immigrant was baptized: “Life over here is stressful at many levels for those leaving one war zone only to enter another; or for families broken up due to war with all its costs to pay. For Israelis -- especially the Zionists among them (not all are) -- without faith in the historic heritage associated with the long struggle with God and with man to be overcome -- every tragedy would become only a matter of personal concern…. Those who understand that this is an historic battle towards a final redemption -- however difficult to define or explain -- for a people and a land, they are ones who are able to bear the loss of their own loved ones as part of the sacrifice to be rendered towards that goal…. For those who know the truth of the gospel…, we, too, must see current events in light of the end and purpose of the Living God, and not just as tragedies or losses that make no sense -- even though we may not be able to make sense of so much evil at the personal level of any individual. Our hope is in the LORD, and in His eternal plan and purpose, not in our own personal lives and plans and suffering. Without living faith and hope and love in what is beyond our temporal experience, we will weaken in the good fight of faith until the end. God has promised to help us overcome, and the Holy Spirit is in born-again believers to enable us to be more than conquerors in Him who loves us.

     …. While I know that much has already been written about Charlie Kirk and his awful assassination, his "sacrifice" has also provoked in me some thoughts, some of which have already been expressed in what I have written above. Yesterday at our congregational outing, there was prayer for Charlie's wife and children, and that the impact he has already been making on especially younger people would even expand and strengthen. I had not realized how many of the Israeli younger generation he had been reaching and gaining an audience with, even among the believers.

     Howard had much more to say, like: “For pluralism to work it requires an agreed upon consensus of a spiritual foundation… those who undermine that either need to at least be hindered, if not actually removed, or else they will gain more strength to destroy the house/family/nation. A house divided cannot stand.” Something the UNITED STATES would be wise to WAKE UP to immediately. & so much more. Write Howard to get on his mailing list. He shares critical insight and wisdom always.

The Revive Israel community writes about a group of young people from the “Messianic Hetzim (Arrows) program, which prepares young men and women for their upcoming military service” who came to work in their fields. They write, “, it was a reminder of God’s design: every part of the body has a purpose and special role. “Now you are the body of Messiah, and each one of you is a part of it.” – 1 Corinthians 12:27. They wrote of not comparing ourselves with other but to look to Scripture which “reminds us that each of us is a unique part of the body, with a different and vital role. In the end, our calling is to be like Yeshua, not like any other person…. As we worked together that day, I could sense it; we were building the Kingdom side-by-side. One body. One Father. One God who defines us and faithfully provides for every need.”

Leon and Nina Mazin in the Haifa Return to Zion congregation write that they are happy to return from a short summer break for the ministry workers to resume their outreaches into the community: “We have resumed our Soup Kitchen ministry for the elderly, where they receive a warm meal made with love.

Arrows 2025 Sep 13 Operation Rescue of the Next Generation

 The news of the assassination of American Christian Charlie Kirk on September 10^th came as such a shock to me. The cover story by Joel Jelski below about the Rescue Operation of the Next Generation had already been set in place as the lead focus for this issue. It seemed an uncanny ‘coincidence’ because Charlie Kirk was a Generational Voice for Truth.
      Charlie Kirk was a strong Israel supporter and his Turning Point USA was all about outreach to young Americans. He focused on false narratives in politics at colleges and universitites across the USA, always expressing freedom of thought and a healthy exchange of ideas. He was the model of civility even on the heated territory of indoctrinated American universities. Yet Kirk called out those in both high and low places who spoke evil and did evil acts. He had no problem calling out those in our society who are acting in bad faith towards the freedoms of every American. He believed in the greatness of the American foundations as a nation.
     Kirk, a 31-year old father of two young children, was also a man of faith. Just days ago on Sept 6^th, he posted a single line on X: “Jesus defeated death so you can live.”

     All of this has caused me to wonder about the assassination of Charlie Kirk, happening on the heels of the widely seen video of the senseless, cold blooded murder of a 23-year old girl, Iryna Zarutska, who had escaped the war in Ukraine only to be stabbed to death by a repeat offender foolish liberal American judges kept releaseing to the street. Even as I write this foreword it is the 24^th anniversary of the Islamist terror attacks on America, I have wondered if these horrifying events we have watched this week on our TV sets is not tied somehow to the message Joel Jelski wrote below.
     Like Joel Jelski has the ear of the youth of Messianic families in Israel, Charlie Kirk had the ear of the American youth. That is what the focus of Joel’s article is about, how we have to activate ourselves to rescue a generation being indoctrinated with false narratives about Israel and the Jewish People. There are also many anti-God false narratives young people are being indoctrinated into. Joel offers practical insight as to what we can do to counter the false narratives that are antisemitic. I believe the same action points Joel gives are for all of the issues that we must counter among young people. I believe God is pointing a way forward to us even in the tragedies we are witness to. If we will heed the call, Charlie Kirk’s death will be like John 12:24, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless the grain of wheat, having fallen into the ground, should die, it abides alone; but if it should die, it bears much fruit.”
     This is not any prediction of Joel falling in the battle as Charlie did! But the situation of warfare in Israel, the impact of Joel’s ministry to Israeli young people and adults, the reality that he has been serving in the IDF Reserves, but also that every citizen in Israel is aware of threat to life they stand in, it is only wisdom to offer prayers for safety of Joel and of all those who are playing such a powerful role in the lives of the next generation of Israeli followers of Yeshua.
     I hope you all have eyes to see and ears to hear what is being shared in this issue. Read Job 33:14-27 if not.

Rescue Operation
of the Next Generation
from anti-Semitism & other evils of the age i-Semitism
by Joel Jelski, Fields of Wheat  & Katzir/Harvest National Youth Camps:
Equipping the Next Generation for the Spiritual Harvest in Israel

Donna: As soon as I saw Joel’s email come in, I knew it would be the cover story for the next issue. It is one of the most critical issues of our day as followers of Yeshua in all the nations.
      As God spoke through the prophet Malachi 4:5-6, "Behold, I will send you prophets in the same spirit as Elijah before the coming of the great and awesome Day of the LORD. And he will turn the hearts of the fathers to their children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers. Otherwise, I will come and strike the land with a curse.” (Italics are the Berean Standard Bible translation; those in bold are my understanding of the phrase “Elijah the prophet.”
     Elijah’s name means, “My God is YHVH” and Elijah was a mighty prophet doing mighty signs and miracles because he knew his God, not just because he spoke about God, but Elijah knew God in the same sense of Daniel 11:32, "And such as act wicked departing the covenant with God, shall the Antichrist corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall become strong, and act with effect." To know God as He really is will reach the next generation. We must press in.

What you can do about the plague of anti-Semitism?
RESCUE the next generation from anti-Semitism! | by Joel Jelski |
      "The Modern state of Israel is NOT the Israel of the Bible." I've heard and read this phrase many times over the past few months.
     The fact that this phrase is said is not really surprising. The thought and idea, or even the theology, of God replacing and abandoning His covenant with Israel has been around for a long time. What has been disappointing is hearing the voices of Jesus' followers who are now agreeing with and spreading similar statements.
     For the past few years, I have been asking myself this question: "Where will the church be regarding Israel in 20-30 years?" Working with young adults in Israel, I'm naturally concerned about this generation globally. So, what follows are my sincere personal thoughts as we observe the growing opposition to the existence of Israel and the Jewish people.
     In many of the meetings that we have participated in abroad, over the years, the average age group tends to be higher. That's not to discount the importance of the "older" generations who have stood by Israel, helped pray for, supported, and built up the Messianic body in Israel for decades now. These stalwart partners are typically referred to as Baby Boomers and Gen Xers (those born between 1965 and 1980). But as a younger guy (although the youth consider me OLD at 36!), I'm always looking at who will stand by us when I'm in my 50s and 60s.
     Church, we have a problem. | A recent poll showed that around 60% of the Gen-Z group (ages 18-29) support Hamas, while it's the complete opposite for the age 65+ group, whose support for Israel is around 85%. Among conservatives in this group, from 18-49, there is a sharp rise in UNFAVORABLE views towards Israel. Only 35% expressed anti-Israel attitudes in 2022, but it has jumped to 50% in 2025. Among liberal voters, it's even worse. During the last three years, it rose from 62% to 71% (ages 18-40). The following article lays out this picture: https://www.jns.org/public-opinion-for-israel-shows-an-alarming-trend/
     These numbers tell a story. Something is shifting in how young people feel about Israel. Exacerbated by poor and slanted media coverage, lack of education about history, and university indoctrination (funded by Qatar and other Muslim groups) — it's getting worse. The problem we face is that many of these same young people are part of the Church, where they may not be challenged on these issues. Many churches simply don't think teaching their youth about Israel is important. They have many other challenges to deal with (which is true), but ignoring the issue of what they believe God has to say about Israel will make it worse.
     The Church must ask itself these two questions:  1. What do our young adults believe God says about Israel? and 2. Have the last two years of war impacted their beliefs, and how can we address it?
     There is a lesson about discussing sensitive topics that I learned from Pastor Oded, who is part of our Katzir oversight team. "If we are not talking to them about it, someone else is." I can guarantee that if your church, or any community, is not actively equipping its young people to understand what is happening in Israel — rooted in a biblical foundation and understanding —someone else is reaching them with their own message about Israel.
     Sound the Alarm | There is an alarming trend on social media. Well-known figures with large followings, especially young listeners, and even some Christian leaders have begun to spread well-known tropes—false narratives and lies about Israel and the Jewish people.
     Why is this trend significant? Because I am certain your kids and young adults are hearing the same things and being influenced by them. Many people want to believe that it will blow over when the war ends. Others think they're just "talking heads." Who cares? Historically, though, it makes a big difference. This trend follows a similar, well laid out pattern that we have seen before—namely, in the history of Nazi Germany:  1. National Crisis (war, economy)…leads to  2. Blaming the Jews… which escalates into 3. Violent actions against Jews.
     Ironically, what is said to be opposition to the actions of Israel as a nation is actually playing out all over the world against Jewish people, proving this really isn't about Israel; it's about all Jews. Globally, anti-Semitic cases have gone up 340% since 2022. The US has reported a sharp rise in anti-Semitic incidents since October 7th, 2023. And violence is a natural consequence of such trends.
     The Shock of Racist Murders | The above downward spiral is being shockingly manifested before our eyes. Here, I'll give two well-known cases (there are thousands of cases not reported in the media). In Colorado, an attacker murdered a woman (burned her to death is a better description) while yelling "Free Palestine!" Two weeks prior, two Jewish believers, Yaron Lischisnky and his soon-to-be fiancée, Sarah Milgrim, were openly gunned down at a State Department event in Washington, DC.
     Some of my family were friends of Yaron and his family, as was Ruby. So this was close to home for many people we know here. The attacker was yelling the same thing, "Free Palestine," and later said, "I did it for Gaza." He also wrote that those responsible for Israel's actions in Gaza forfeited their humanity.
     The latest case that really caught my eye was the Minnesota mass shooting event, in which a mentally ill transgender person murdered two children in a Catholic school. In addition to other phrases written on his guns, like "Trump must die," he wrote "6 million is not enough" and "Israel must fall." The attack itself may not have been anti-Semitic, but the person was fueled by the same hatred against Israel and the West. The common ground of the anti-Semitism behind these attacks, fueled by false media narratives, cannot be ignored. This will impact our young people whether we like it or not.
     Urgent Need to be Informed and to Educate the Believing Community | There is an urgency in this time to make sure that we are equipping the next generation in the Church about Israel. What can you do in addition to praying (which always is vital and powerful)?
     1. Educate yourself and your family regarding the history of anti-Semitism. Don't leave this up to the schools. Schools will not be able to equip your kids to learn about anti-Semitism, Israel, and, more importantly, how this relates to the Bible.
     2. Ask your kids what they believe about this latest war in Israel, what they hear about it, and don't be afraid to talk about it, even if you aren't an "expert." Find out what sources they are listening to.
     3. Make sure your church is talking about this! And even if they are, make sure your church is discussing this with the youth and student groups, if you have them.
     4. Equip your youth and young adults/college students' pastor on these issues. If there's no one "on staff," help whoever is teaching the youth to be equipped. Stir vision for the church to send them to Israel. Help provide tools to teach the next generation about God's heart for Israel. Please don't leave this subject to chance. If you're not talking to them about it, someone else is.
     5. Supply material they can learn from. Books are great, but podcasts and listening material are more likely to impact young people. According to the American Bible Society, Gen-Z today engages with bible content first through TikTok, then podcasts, and only then the Bible app. Telling them to "go read the Bible" simply won't reach them.
     A Quick Update: What's happening on the ground, here in Israel? | As I write this update, the new ground operation in Gaza is now officially starting. Many of our friends are currently in reserve duty, and their service has been extended. I received news that our unit is being called up on November 1st for another round of 2-3 months of reserve duty in Gaza (we will be the "second wave" that replaces those who will start the ground operation). I don't know yet what I will do, as my wife is due to give birth around September 20th, and she starts her studies on November 2nd. Many families find themselves in the same situation, torn by the need to serve their nation, with their families paying a heavy price. Please pray for our family and for wisdom to know how to navigate this.
     Yesterday, I was able to visit a reserve tank unit on the Lebanon border and provide them with the tactical uniform Ruby helped develop. I shared with some of them who we are as believers in Yeshua as Israel's Messiah. They were ecstatic to receive these amazing uniforms and a few other small gifts. Once again, thank you for helping us make a difference and impact what is happening on the ground, giving these soldiers something nice in the midst of all the pressures.
     I can't share photos of the smile on their faces for security reasons. Sadly, this is a direct result of what I reported above. Now, when an IDF soldier travels abroad, he or she is at risk of an anti-Semitic attack. But please know that very few things bring such big smiles to their faces. Your gifts and prayers are what make that happen! We are incredibly thankful for you, Joel Jelski, Katzir Director

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

Cookie Schwaeber-Issan has written one of the best tributes to Charlie Kirk that I have read. Urging you to read it too in All Israel News: "Honoring Charlie Kirk"

Watch this YouTube Video of Charlie Kirk declaring why Israel is important to him and for ALL of us.

Arriving on 9/11 is Reuven Doron’s “The Third Day” which addresses Hosea’s prophecy about the 3^rd Mllennium. (Saving the writing for next week but Watch the video
      9/4 Don't be Deceived | This is what I like about Reuven Doron, he is always keeping it REAL! Revuen writes: "There is a lot of 'prophetic' chatter online these days regarding the Feast of Trumpets 2025 and its possible implications regarding the rapture, the coming of the Lord, or other dramatic end-time events. We understand the emotional frenzy associated with these topics and the financial gains that can rise from peddling them, but we advise our friends to guard their hearts and minds against ANYTHING that is not anchored in a clear biblical reference."

From David’s Tent another great Israeli prophetic voice, researcher, writer, teacher and musician, Avner Boskey’s ‘How the Mighty Have Fallen” — But Why? This is Avner’s excellent summary of the events surrounding the assassination yesterday of Charlie Kirk. He also gives a wide range of responses to news of Charlie’s murder by public figures. In Avner’s words, “A hero has fallen what did he stand for?

The Tikkun Global 2025 US conference in Anaheim, CA is over but the sessions will become available to view on YouTube. You can watch for the announcement on their Facebook page or subscribe to their YouTube channel.  I have only been able to listen to 1 message, that of Asher on opening night but I am so thrilled he got into a message I consider one of his most important messages on the end times. Haven’t heard him address it since 2016 and it is something we all need to get hold of for the days ahead.
     Because I have followed Asher for so long, pouring over his teachings like, “The Harlot and the Beast, Or Jezebel and Jihad” which he has not preached much- if ever- in the past decade, when he went there for this US conference he confirmed my own strong conviction that the time of these things is NOW. In fact when Asher toured the US in 2016, he was preaching the message of The Harlot and the Beast, or Jezebel and Jihad in many places.  I didn’t remember doing this, but I transcribed his message and then converted it into a 34-page article that I sent to him with the hopes he would commit this important message to a booklet at the least, or the starting point of a book. Maybe I was among the FEW ready to take in that message in 2016, but I know that NOW MANY are ready to hear it.
     Maybe it was a prophetic timing issue, but I do believe you will be hearing more from Asher on this important warfare topic. We are there folks. Time to know what we are really up against.
     At the conference, Asher was only able to hit some of the key points of this message. For instance making the point of how spiritual warfare meets and impacts military warfare on the ground. Also, that it is not a matter of God being on one side against another, it is a matter of one side choosing to be on GOD’s side and the other side rejecting being of GOD’s side. We’ve had a lot of indoctrination on that point, but it is time we came to terms with what Joshua 5:13-14 really means because America needs the information on how spiritual warfare meets ground warfare right now:
     "Now when Joshua was near Jericho, he looked up and saw a man standing in front of him with a drawn sword in His hand. Joshua approached Him and asked, “Are You for us or for our enemies?”
     “Neither,” He replied. “I have now come as Commander of the LORD’s army.” The Commander of the armies of God is Yeshua/Jesus Himself.

The HaMaayan congregation writes something very important for Christians to understand – especially when they believe the God of the Old Testament is different than the God of the New Testament. As they write: “Our God is the same yesterday, today and forever. Because He never changes, we can count on His faithfulness. We can look back through history and see when King David was in the same situation that we are in Israel today. In 1 Samuel 30, the Amalekites invaded the south, kidnapped everyone — including David’s wives —and burned the city. David and all who were with him wept till they had no more strength. But David “strengthened himself in the Lord.” Ultimately, David sought the Lord and asked what to do. God said “Pursue, for you shall surely overtake and without fail recover all.” In the end everyone returned and the Amalekites were defeated. Today Israel is in the same situation and has an opportunity for our government & military to “be strengthened in the Lord.” They must seek God’s guidance & direction obediently, knowing that only through Him can our people be saved.”
     As Messianic believers in Israel here is how they are carrying out what God wants them to be doing: Helping the Druze, hepling the needy, Taking time to be together with the congregational families, and for the new school year: A special focus of prayer on behalf of our younger generations. Not only are they the only believers in their whole schools, but they are also taught subjects that go against God and His Biblical standards. Pray for our children to be a light to their friends and school. We are praying for protection from demonic influences (sexual perversion, witchcraft, humanism…), and for the parents to guide their hearts and minds, that they would continue to walk with God, knowing His Love.

Chaim Malespin of the Aliyah Return Center and The Faithful Galileans sends this on  Israel Ambassador Academy . Israel is in the headlines again. Protests. Conflict. Political shifts. Spiritual war. Everyone seems to have something to say. But what about the truth? What about the biblical narrative that undergirds it all? The question is: Are you ready to speak into it with wisdom, clarity, and conviction? The Online Israel Ambassador Academy (IAA) exists to equip you — with truth, with Spirit, with understanding. Here is where you can learn what God's heart is for Israel. Watch the short inside look now.
     ALSO 9/12 “As for Charlie Kirk: What a huge loss for the world! People were devastated here in Israel as well, some thought he would have been the next president of the United States.” ….. In times like these—when the world feels almost unrecognizable compared to what it was before October 7th—more than ever, we must turn our eyes to our Heavenly Father.  As it says in 2 Chronicles 7:14: “If My people who are called by My Name

From Israel Pochtar in Ashdod of the Beit Hallel congregation: Watch Now as Israel Pochtar shares from the ancient port city of Jaffa—Yafo | Awakened by Eternity | This is such a meaningful time on God’s calendar—Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, and Sukkot each point us to His faithfulness, His redemption, and His promise to dwell with His people forever. Here in Israel, we are not only witnessing these prophetic signs, but also taking part in them. Every new family that returns to the Land is a living testimony that God keeps His Word. And every act of kindness we extend—whether through food baskets, prayer, sharing the Gospel, or a simple word of encouragement—is a way of joining Him in His great plan of restoration. | Call for Salvation in Israel | These are not just holidays on a calendar — they are God’s appointed times, moments woven into His eternal plan when He calls His people to awaken 

Josie Silver writes for Out of Zion Ministries about Jews returning to the Jewish homeland of Israel. “Even the stork in the sky knows her appointed times; and the turtledove, the swift, and the thrush observe the time of their migration." — Jeremiah 8:7 | “     Aliyah is also fascinating and a phenomenon. No other nation has ever been scattered for thousands of years, only to be restored, resurrected, and regathered to its ancient homeland, reviving even its ancient language. Only Israel. Israel lives and returns, because God has written His promise into their very identity. Just as the birds cannot help but return along their appointed paths, the Jewish people carry within them a divine “code” — a calling and instinct that will continue to draw them home until every prophecy is fulfilled. Our God wants his people home to protect and save spiritually and naturally.” To subscribe to the prayer letter containing article also write Stefan Silver.
  
Guy Cohen of the Harvest of Asher in Acco writes, “Often, we don’t realize or give enough thought to the power of the truth and how much difference if can make, even between life and death. Only by knowing and accepting the truth that Yeshua is the Messiah, will we gain eternal life.
     Also: “We are warned in 2 Thessalonians 2:10 of those who perish through deception, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. However, we need not fear, Yeshua gave us his Spirit to guide us through even the deception which surrounds us. He also gave us the assurance that we would be able to hear His voice and follow Him. (John 10:3-4) Our sincere prayer is that He may grant us ears to hear His guiding voice, courage to receive and love the truth and upright ways to follow in His footsteps as David prayed in Psalm 119:5 “May my ways be steady in observing your laws.”

Rania Sayegh of the House of Prayer & Exploits in Nazareth writes,  “We are only 12 DAYS away from Arab Deborah's Arising 2025! We are expecting 200 local Arab women from the region who have registered for this year's gathering…. God is awakening Arab women across the Middle East, Deborah's rising in boldness, worship, and intercession. In 12 days, they’ll gather in the Galilee for Arab Deborah’s Arising 2025, a powerful time of equipping, encounter, and commissioning. We need your help to get them there: $150 sponsors one woman. $20,000 covers the full need. We are 60% toward our goal. Will you sow into this prophetic move? …. Here’s how you can take part: Watch the update video from Rania| Pray with us: cover the women, the land, and the vision | Give a seed of faith and Sponsor a Deborah | Share this with others who carry a heart for the region | We can’t do this without your partnership.

Last but not least! Avi and Hannah Tekel of Tents of Mercy in Kiryat Yam check in with us at the end of a long scorching summer and in time for a report on their annual summer kid’s camp – which because of Houthi fire they were not sure they would be able to do – but they did and camp was a great success. Then  “A week after camp we had a fantastic day of summer fun and congregational bonding at a municipal pool that we were able to reserve only for our use. The pool and grounds looked out over Tabor Mountain (historically considered the Mount of Transfiguration). Swimming, playing and eating together - we were also a little bit transformed :-) and blessed to have a break from our regular routine. It was a special opportunity to spend time with one another and get some respite from the stressful season we have been through.
     Now the school year has begun and we are in the midst of preparations for our annual Rosh Hashanah food basket distribution which will take place next week (written 9/11. This is such a critical time for our nation and as is customary before the High Holy Days, people have begun the process of asking forgiveness for the year's sins and misdeeds. We are certainly asking for mercy from the Sovereign Lord for the impossibly difficult state our nation is in.
          Prayer Points | Provision and success for the Holiday Food Distribution - Rosh Hashanah 2025 | Wisdom for our government and a breakthrough for an agreement that will set the hostages free and allow us all to move towards recovery from these years of war | Health for various congregational members struggling with sicknesses, S, V, A, L, R (initials of the people in need of prayer) | Grace and inspiration as we set out the plans for projects in the coming year. | To donate to help this ministry.
