Each Friday we provide you with one of the week's most thought-provoking articles. | |  Can Israel survive friends like these?
by Wesley Pruden This is the moment a certain number of a certain breed of Democrats have been waiting for. The latest outburst of bad feeling between Barack Obama and Benjamin Netanyahu can be the cover they seek for finally putting the Jews in their place. First the president went to the Middle East to apologize to the Muslims for America being America, and couldn't find the time for a stopover in Israel, America's only true friend in the region. Then he dispatched Joe Biden, the vice president who says he is an "ardent Zionist," to Jerusalem to try to mollify the Israelis with a cheap and sentimental love song with lyrics that nobody believes. The mission quickly blew up when the veep used the occasion to lecture the Israelis for building 1,600 new apartments for Jews in East Jerusalem, which the Palestinian bomb-throwers and their American apologists insist on calling "settlements." Hillary Clinton, the secretary of state, followed up with some nasty remarks. Read on... | | One that calls for a Response
Each Friday we take a meaningful quote, tie it to scripture, and leave you with a take-home. | Rep. Mike Pence of Indiana, chairman of the House Republican Conference said: "I never thought I'd live to see the day that an American administration would denounce the Jewish state of Israel for rebuilding Jerusalem."
God says: “I have chosen Jerusalem for my Name to be there…I will defend this city and save it, for my sake and for the sake of David my servant … At that time they will call Jerusalem The Throne of Yahweh, and all nations will gather in Jerusalem to honor the name of Yahweh …Then you will know that I Yahweh your God, dwell in Zion, my holy hill. Jerusalem will be holy; never again will foreigners invade her.” (II Chronicles 6:6; II Kings 19:34; Jeremiah 3:17; Joel 3:17.)
 The Jerusalem Connection says: The big clamor is over Israel’s right to build in east Jerusalem which includes the Mount of Olives. Policy makers in the U.S. and elsewhere would do well to note that Jesus ascended from the Mount of Olives (Acts 1:9-12) and that is the place he will return. (Zechariah 14:1-9). If they do not, they will find themselves fighting against God. When Messiah comes (returns) He destroys those nations that have been gathered against Israel. He is sovereign over this piece of real estate and the wrath of God awaits those who challenge His Lordship. “On that day there will be one Yahweh, and His name the only name.” | | Were you there when they crucified my Lord?
Watch Video | |  In September-October 2006 we published a Special Edition on The Sephardic Jews. As many of you know, The Sephardic Jews magazine focused on Hispanics who very likely have a Jewish background dating back to 1492 – to the Spanish Inquisition in Spain and Portugal. The magazine contains all things Sephardim.
Since this special issue on Sephardic Jews first came out, we have been inundated with requests to publish this issue in Spanish. The interest and enthusiasm is amazing. We believe now is the time to issue a Spanish edition of The Sephardic Jews – but we cannot do it without your help! A pastor of a Sephardic congregation in Arizona has graciously volunteered his time to complete all of the translation work and a group based in Mexico called Comfort Israel has rallied around him to help with any proofing. Their volunteer efforts alone have saved thousands of dollars. I have gotten an estimate of $25,000 for the total cost of a Spanish language issue. This would include shipping and mailing costs.
