And there is hope for your future —declares Hashem: Your children shall return to their country. Jeremiah 31:13 (The Israel Bible™) The latest forecast from Jerusalem says that Israel is expecting 90,000 Jews from the diaspora to emigrate to Israel by the end of 2021. The process of Jewish people worldwide naturalizing in Israel is called ‘Aliyah’. Aliyah Integration Minister Pnina Tamano-Shata said on Wednesday that the latest estimates reveal that 90,000 Jews worldwide (Olim) will move to Israel from around the world in the next 18 months reports the JPost. Meanwhile, Nefesh b’ Nefesh, a non-profit organization that facilitates...

GENESIS 3:21-24 (NIV) The Lord God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife and clothed them. And the Lord God said, “The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever.” So the Lord God banished him from the Garden of Eden to work the ground from which he had been taken. After he drove the man out, he placed on the east side of the Garden of Eden cherubim and a...

These four simple truths from the Bible tell us how to assure we are a Christian and show God’s love through our savior, Jesus Christ! 1) Man sinned; 2) God is just, requiring a punishment for sin; 3) But out of love God sent His Son, Jesus Christ who by dying on the cross, provided forgiveness of sins in taking man’s deserved punishment; 4) Therefore, by faith alone in Christ’s sacrifice for our sins and belief in His resurrection, man can gain eternal life (Ephesians 2:8-9, Romans 10:9-10, Romans 3:21-26).

Genesis 3:6-13 (NIV) When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it. Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves. Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the Lord God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the...

Christianity Today recently got on board with the reparations movement and suggested that it is Christian churches who should step up and pay for the so-called systemic effects of slavery. A better idea, though, should be to encourage Christians, beginning with pastors from their pulpits in church, to boldly speak about the greatest abolitionist in world history, Jesus Christ. When people are "set free indeed" by hearing that particular piece of good news (which, by the way, has been available to everyone for over 2,000 years now), people of all races will rejoice that they find themselves, finally, "paid...

Merkel outlined her objectives Thursday for Germany’s forthcoming 6-month presidency of the EU, saying a more Global role and Enhanced International Governance are a way forward. This is not the first time Merkel has touted an E.U. global role...Her simple solution remains: more E.U. in more places more often. The presidency of the Council of the European Union passes among member states on a rotating basis and lasts for a six-month period, with Germany taking the role from July 1 until the end of the year.

“An employer who fires an individual merely for being gay or transgender defies the law.” This is the conclusion of Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch’s majority opinion handed down Monday. The court ruled that “an employer who fires an individual merely for being gay or transgender violates Title VII.”Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 makes it unlawful “for an employer to fail or refuse to hire or discharge any individual, or otherwise to discriminate against any individual . . . because of such individual’s race, color, religion, sex, or national origin.” The court, by a six-to-three margin,...

(CNSNews.com) - House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D.-Calif.) opened a letter to her Democratic colleagues yesterday by quoting Isaiah 2:12 and Isaiah 10:1-2 in an apparent reference to corrupt police officers and Trump administration. “As Isaiah says, ‘For the Lord will have a day of reckoning… Woe to those who make unjust laws, to those who issue oppressive decrees, to deprive the poor of their rights and withhold justice from the oppressed,’” Pelosi said. “A reckoning is here for justice in policing, and I commend Chair Karen Bass and the Congressional Black Caucus on their important leadership in presenting the George...

The rapidly growing global acceptance of homosexuality is a sign of the end times. Sodom is mentioned four times in reference to end times (Lu. 17:28-32; 2 Pe. 2:6; Jude 7; Re. 11:8). See Gen. 19:4-7. The spirit of homosexuality has swept the world in my very lifetime. In the 21st century, same-sex “marriage” has been legalized in 28 nations. It is promoted by major global corporations, such as Microsoft, Apple, Starbucks, and Google. Massive “Gay Pride” parades are held throughout the earth, including one of the largest in Tel Aviv, Israel. Not surprisingly in light of widespread apostasy, this...

Online and brick and mortar booksellers across the country will no longer be selling the Bible due to its "outdated depictions of humanity all being of one race and made in the image of God." The Bible has long been controversial when it comes to race, suggesting that Jesus Christ can break down barriers between people groups through the blood of His cross and callously proclaiming that everyone is made in God's image and has inherent dignity and worth because of God's infinite worth. "We're trying to stoke racial tensions, and the Bible is extremely unhelpful at a time like...

As the Chinese coronavirus distracts the world, the Chinese Communist Party has ratcheted up its crackdown on religious freedom, and sources say President Xi Jinping is working on rewriting the Bible itself to “create a new version of Christianity shorn of its transcendent visions and values.” Xi Lian, a professor at Duke University Divinity School, told The Wall Street Journal‘s Matthew Taylor King that Beijing doesn’t just want to repress religion — the Chinese Communist Party wants to transform it.Lian said Beijing wants to “drain Christianity of its spirit.” China’s state-run Xinhua News Agency reported last year that Politburo Standing...

Published on Apr 21, 2020 Dr. Clarence Sexton recounts the incredible story of the bible that belongs to President Donald J. Trump, which traces its history back to the Hebrides revival of the early 1900s. Please watch and see another facet of this tremendous miracle unfolding before us, and continue to pray for our president and national leaders.

Monday on ABC’s “The View,” co-host Whoopi Goldberg said when President Donald Trump held a Bible in front of the historic St. John’s Episcopal Church in Washington, D.C., which had been damaged by arson, she was shocked when it did not “burst into flame.” Goldberg said, “You know who is going on his law and order trip. He’s got this crazy stance, and he’s threatening to deploy U.S. military. He also, remember, mocked governors for not taking up his order to deploy the National Guard, and taking time for photo-ops along the way. Joy, I understand that the optics really...

...Slavery has not been a monolithic institution, but has had many forms and requirements which have varied throughout history.[1] Slavery is typically thought of as one human being owning another human being as a type of property, with broad rights to do with his slave as he wishes. The slave is without certain basic rights, such as the freedom to leave his employment and similar aspects of personal liberty, or to acquire real property, or gain inheritance. Slaves are more objects of law, in contrast to usually being accountable subjects. Slaves were considered movable property in certain societies, while in...

The media has had a field day attacking President Trump for his walk across Lafayette Square to pay his respects to St. John’s Episcopal Church that was set afire by rioters. Certainly, as so many commentators noted, the rioters setting a fire at St. John’s crossed a line into territory that no sensible person could defend. Throughout its history, St. John’s has been considered a national church because sitting presidents since the 19th century have walked across that park to attend church at St. Johns. Numerous ceremonial events have taken place in that sanctuary where a pew was reserved for...

Zondervan has released a hollow Bible for politicians who want to use the Word of God as a political prop. The Bibles are designed to look authentic and holy from the outside but are completely empty on the inside, just like most politicians' faith. They are much lighter than an actual Bible, making them easy to pick up and reducing the risk of strains. They can also be used to hold secret things like notes from your crush or alcohol. An additional benefit of the Bible is that politicians won't risk opening it and having their lives changed. "No longer...
