Ethiopian Jews arrived Israel. Prophetic fulfillment of Biblical proportion. Zeph.3
Shalom. From the bottom of our hearts: We want to thank God for you and your family for lifting our arms through your generosity and prayers. All the need for November was met, Praise God. Its impacts in the field will be shared with you in our report next week. We walk by faith not by sight. On November 28, just two days before the end of last month, I share with you the summary of the urgent financial need in thousands of dollars. literally, to many of us, that is just impossibility. How can you raise that amount support in 2 days? We know it is God's work. He will make a way. Literally, we took it by faith, and by the end of the month all the fund came in for November be to God on your account. Now we are in December 2020. I will outline the need in our next report.
Today, I want to share with you some special mission report tied to Israel.
It is just unfolding before our eyes. Ethiopian Jews of African Diaspora arrived in Israel.! Prophetic fulfillment of Biblical proportion. Zephaniah 3: wrote " On that day you, Jerusalem, will not be put to shame for all the wrongs you have done to me, may call on the name of the Lord and serve him shoulder to shoulder. From beyond the rivers of Cush ( The Nile valley regions, Egypt Ancient Ethiopia/modern Sudan and the Horn of Africa, North Africa,) my worshipers, my scattered people, will bring me offerings. On that day you, Jerusalem, will not be put to shame for all the wrongs you have done to me, because I will remove from you your arrogant boasters. .At that time I will gather you; at that time I will bring you home. I will give you honor and praise among all the peoples of the earth when I restore your fortunes[e] before your very eyes,” says the Lord.
As the Bible is the whole Counsel of God to mankind worldwide, this prophetic word has spiritual application to our own lives no matter where we live but it has specific application to physical descendants of children of Israel scattered abroad to fulfill God's prophecy and validate a physical manifestation of his truth by literally bringing Israelites from all around the world back to Israel in real time. These events only make our faith stronger both Jews and gentiles one in Messiah regarding the authenticity of the Bible!.
With the permission of Israeli based Editors Chana Oz and Aryeh Savir of TPS News, Israel, I want to share with you these pictures at Ben Gurion Airport, in Tel Aviv, Israel of a massive Ethiopian Airline bringing some of her citizens of Israeli origin to return home to Israel .
Prophet Zephaniah 3, was talking about a people who departed Israel to the land of Cush hundred of years prior due to rebellion against God . After how many years back? I can only do approximation. Probably more than 2630 years ago because Prophet Zephaniah wrote his book around 630 BC. We are now in 2020 AD. It is amazing to witness the arrival of Israeli Jews from Ethiopia and other part of the world in 2020. Why do they have to return? Is it because Ethiopia rejects them? No, because God said, 2630 plus years ago, He will bring them back and they come back in all colors and strides. That is the God we serve.!
I was very young in high school in the Sudan to recall all the dynamic of events that went into the first Jews who were uplifted from Ethiopia to Israel via Khartoum, Sudan in 1985. What does this demonstrate? It shows God does not lie and the Bible is so true. It is once more a prophetic fulfillment in our life time in real time to witness this. Last year in November 2019, I was in Jerusalem, to attend annual Christian Media Summit set up by Israeli GPO, (Government Press Office) in Jerusalem. In the course of of my time there, I met Israelis from all walks of lives who returned home from the 4 corners of the globe to demonstrate the fact that Israel is the sole custodian of Biblical history and their presence in the Holy land validate the Bible. This is not fictitious nor abstract statement. Some people say well, some of these people who got back have to be strictly practicing Judaism because of Israeli government law regarding Aliah but one of the pictures shows evidently an Ethiopian Orthodox Messianic Jews with medieval Cross symbol on her forehead.
Some of the Israelis I met there were Messianic Jews and majority of them weren't. They are all welcoming there and they all work together because Salvation is not forced it is the issue of the heart, mind and soul. I ran into several Israelis from Ethiopia well integrated into Israeli way of lives. This truth debunks the current anti-Semitic movement of Boycott, Divest and Sanction against Israeli products from Judea and Samaria that wants to brainwash the world that Israel is an Apartheid country with former South African system of government.
It further serves as a reminder to all sceptics that God is who He said He is, was, and will be. He does not lie even after 2630 plus years since the day of prophet Zephaniah because His foot print is everywhere in the entire world and in our own lives Psalms 139. This is even more evident in the events that led to Israel's prophetic return to the Holy Land after 2000 years in captivity in 1948. Today, the Evangelical church all over the world can proudly take pilgrim to the Holy land, knowing for sure they will find exactly the evidence and the truth of the things they read in the Bible. Because God brought Israel back to the land to be the primary custodian of the Biblical accounts in its original format.
In the Golan Height, we met the head of the Provisional Council a gentleman who was perhaps first or second generation from the Russian Jewry. He shared his sobering testimony in humility about God's returning his people back to the land of Manasseh, i.e. the Golan Heights.
Some of you would say, well but Jews don't believe in Yeshua and the church has replaced Israel and some are hostile to Christians. I was asked by someone, is there anything special about their presence in the Holy land? Well, we can't conflate the idea that Israel's returning to the promise land without believing in Yeshua with the false idea that therefore, the church has replaced Israel. God knows what He is doing with Israel and Israelis. Just as He knows what He is doing with the Church.
Here is the point, I want to make, none of us has the power to make any body who is declared Jewish or gentile to become a follower of Yeshua. But we can only share our own testimonies how we came to the knowledge of Saving Grace in Yeshua and plant the seed, God will do the rest in His own time in the lives of Jews and gentiles alike.
In John chapter 6: 43-50. Jesus is our example. Jesus himself clarifies his position to fellow Israelites 2000 ago who were concerned that He came to destroy the law of Moses and the Forefathers and change their way of lives and how possible can He be the bread of Life.?
Even though, Jesus is the only one who has the power to set men free, He said, not to marvel or grumble, because only His father will draw to him those who are going to be saved. We are only called to be witnesses of this fact as He impacts our daily lives. Zechariah 12, Isaiah 53, Matthew 28: 18-19, John 17, Acts 1:4-8, Acts 2, 1 Corinthians 5:20, Romans 10: 9-17, Romans 1: 16, Genesis 12:1-3 just to mention few, give us our matching orders. The Church has not replaced Israel otherwise the Bible is false. Paul's letter to the Romans chapter 9, 10, and 11 were written to address this very issue regarding the status of Israel. In Romans 10: 1-17, this chapter was dedicated to address Paul's burden about his own people, Israel but it is also true for all.
Romans 10:9 If you believe in your heart and confess with your mouth that God raise Yeshua from the death, you shall be saved. and 10: 17 He said, faith comes by hearing and hearing the word of God. Does any one have burden for the Jews and every tribe and tongue under this planet? Take Romans 10:17 literally, go out and share your faith and testify of what God has done for you. Take the initiative to love Israel and the Jewish people like Cornelius in Acts 10. Let God does the rest and pray for the Peace of Jerusalem.
Prayer Needs: Romans 8:28
USA Election, God will have His way in all this : Remember, I said last week, pray that the State Legislatures take the courage to take back their constitutional power to address the fraudulent conducts in this Election.? It is about to falls flat. All these hearings may come to nothing. They broke ranks and caved in. The Swamp is bigger than we think, But God is greater than the swamp. Timing may be our concerns but God is outside our time. :et us pray for President Trump and the country in the days and weeks ahead.
