Doves,
This is a long video, but well worth it. It is the Jewish understanding of the Gulah (redemption), and how they have failed since 1948 to thank God for all the help he gave them in the wars of Ishmael against them. It is a call for national repentance, and is very powerful. It ties in prophecy with history, and I would recommend watching this video first for the full impact of the Jewish thinking about the coming of Machiach, and to understand the importance of what follows.I received this email tonight from the Messianic shul where I go on Feast Days...Simultaneous Prayer Services in 40 Cities
by Hillel Fendel
In light of multiple threats currently extant against the Jewish
People, mass prayer and outcry gatherings will be held on Thursday throughout Israel - and in Monsey, NY.
The military threats that have energized concerned Jews throughout the country to organize the prayer services include long-range
non-conventional Iranian and Syrian missiles, Hizbullah's thousands of missiles not far from Israel's northern border, and the continuing
weapons flow from Iran and Syria into Lebanon.
Historically and traditionally, whenever the Jewish people have been
threatened, they have responded in with an outpouring of prayer and repentance. The Patriarch Jacob, Moses, the nation as a whole several times during the period of the Judges, Mordechai and Esther - these are just some of the many examples of Jewish prayer under tribulation. Jewish Law clearly stipulates that when great dangers hover over the community, the people must gather in the public square with sackcloth and ashes, pray, repent of their bad deeds, and together cry out for Divine mercy.
Prayer services of this type are scheduled to take place at 6 PM on
Thursday in Jerusalem, Ofakim, Nof Ayalon, Ashdod, Ashkelon, Tel Tzion, Be'er Sheva, Beit Shemesh, Bnei Brak, Bat Yam, Afula, Petach Tikvah, Givatayim, Nesher, Tel Aviv and some 20 other cities and locations on both sides of the Green Line. The initiative has even reached Monsey, New York, where preparations are being made to hold a prayer service late Thursday afternoon.
The new Jewish month of Nissan begins Sunday, rendering the Thursday before it Yom Kippur Katan, a day expecially suitable for
prayer-and-repentance services.Now get out your Kleenex and watch THIS! (POWERFUL!)PRAISE GOD! THE PRIDE IS VANISHING AND THEY NOW ARE WILLING TO HUMBLE THEMSELVES AND REPENT!
