Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem Isaiah Isaiah 5 The Song of the Vineyard 5 I will sing for the one I love
    a song about his vineyard:
My loved one had a vineyard
    on a fertile hillside.
2 He dug it up and cleared it of stones

He built a watchtower in it

    judge between me and my vineyard.
4 What more could have been done for my vineyard
    than I have done for it?

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he is willing to make peace with the Palestinians if they can "pass the test of peace," during a Fox News interview Friday evening. "I think the first test of peace is to say to them, 'Hey, you want peace? Prove it. Confront terrorism, stop rewarding terrorism, stop paying it terrorists,'" Netanyahu told host Sean Hannity during their sit-down interview in Israel. Netanyahu said the Palestinian Authority pays terrorists and the families of terrorists who murder Israelis and Americans "hundreds of millions of dollars." "It could be more than a billion dollars that are...

As a massive hunger strike among Palestinian prisoners in Israel reached its fourth day, right-wing Israeli activists held a barbecue outside the Ofer Prison in an attempt to break their willpower. Thursday’s event was organized by the National Union political party youth group, which hoped that the smell of the food would entice the 1,187 hunger strikers to eat. The strike was launched by 57-year-old imprisoned Palestinian activist Marwan Barghouti, who is serving five consecutive life sentences for murder. His strike was announced in a controversial op-ed for the New York Times, where he accused Israel of torture. “Having spent...

Hanan Ashrawi, a member of the PLO Executive Committee, said on Saturday night that the White House is now dominated by right-wing pro-Israelis. It should be noted that she intended this to be a negative comment on the new administration Ynet, a Hebrew language Israeli news service, reported that Ashrawi bemoaned the right-wing, pro-Israel stance of President Trump’s administration. “We used to say there were settlers in the Israeli coalition borne of the far right that detests Palestinians, Arabs and Muslims.

Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem Isaiah (Introduction) Bible search results (Many Thanks to Bible Gateway.com) 2 Kings 19:2 He sent Eliakim the palace administrator, Shebna the secretary and the leading priests, all wearing sackcloth, to the prophet Isaiah son of Amoz.

On this Resurrection Morning, John begins his prophetic bombing run by exposing the conversion of Hank Hannagraff (The Bible Answer Man) to Eastern Orthodoxy, followed by strafing runs on the beliefs of those who call themselves "Christian", plus Frankie Schaeffer (son of the great apologist Frances Schaeffer) who adds to the emergent church movement by embracing spiritual mysticism and liturgy. Appropriately, he then acquires and targets the cup of trembling that we know as Israel, recognizing her taking of the Temple Mount in 1967, and the upcoming 50 year celebration in the land recognizing that achievement. To wrap up, he...

One of the more enduring anti-Semitic myths in Jewish history is the blood libel—the medieval claim that Jews bake their Passover matzo with the blood of gentile children. Perhaps most memorably, the libel was promoted by Osama Hamdan, the official spokesman of Hamas, the designated terrorist group that controls Gaza. The essence of the slander, as by many forms of bigotry, is the recasting of an innocuous Jewish tradition as something sinister. And this past week, just in time for Passover, anti-Israel activists on social media attempted to offer an update to this medieval calumny. It began when Israel’s deputy...
