Shana Tova 5779
Please have a look at http://www.olivetreealliance.org where my most recent posting toward the bottom of the page features the prophetic implications of the Jewish New Year 5779.
Tisha B’ Av: They Shall Raise Up the Former Desolations
When Messiah establishes His Messianic Kingdom, the literal fulfillment of God’s promises to Israel will be complete and the mourning associated with Tisha B’Av will no longer be relevant.
The Secret to a Fulfilled Life
Ecclesiastes teaches there is more to success than overcoming challenges and realizing goals. In one brief but profound six-word sentence, Solomon provides the defining secret for meaning and fulfillment in life.
Happy Independence Day, America!
While world leaders have pondered approaches and formulas for making nations great, Solomon—who was known for his God-given wisdom—articulated the essence of national greatness in just four words.
If Only Scarecrows Were Enough
Attempts to generate peaceful coexistence on the part of ancient Israel were met with obstinate refusal to cooperate. Squatters from neighboring lands were committed to hostility and any hope for peaceful resolution was blocked by their premeditated, continuous and unrelenting aggression. Today, it seems nothing’s changed.
The Anniversary of the Six-Day War
For the citizens of the rebirthed nation not yet two decades old, the liberation from occupation to the reunification of the Eternal City of Jerusalem was more than a military triumph—the Six-Day War altered the course of history.
Pentecost Sunday—Why the Church Should Celebrate
It is my prayer that you’ll take time to consider what the indwelling ministry of the Holy Spirit means to you, to the success of your local church and your mandate to impact the world with the Good News. Begin now to make preparations to celebrate Pentecost Sunday—it’s the birthday of the church!
Get Acquainted with Shavuot
Shavuot as described in the New Testament book of Acts marks the birthday of the church. Without the historical background, however, you may be surprised to learn that the festival was inaugurated by Moses and is still joyfully celebrated in Israel some 3,500 years later.
May 14—A Day to Remember!
Two decades and three administrations have passed since Public Law 104–45—Nov. 8, 1995 was approved by Congress. Every six months, presidents have routinely postponed the U.S. Embassy move via waiver for fear of antagonizing Israel’s enemies—a strategy that failed to achieve the objective.
Yom Yerushalayim 5778—A Day to Rejoice With Jerusalem!
For people of faith living in the 21st century, the prophetic implications are staggering. More than 2700 years ago, the prophet Isaiah urged us to rejoice with Jerusalem!
