"Hope to YHVH and safeguard His way, and He will raise you up high to inherit the earth." Psalm 37:34

"For if you observe this entire commandment that I command you, to perform it, to love YHVH, your God, to walk in all His ways and to cleave to Him, YHVH will drive out all these nations from before you, and you will drive out greater and mightier nations than yourselves. Every place where the sole of your foot will tread shall be yours - from the Wilderness and the Lebanon, from the river, the Euphrates River, until the Western Sea, shall be your boundary. No man will stand up against you; YHVH, your God, will set your terror and fear on the entire face of the earth where you will tread, as He spoke to you." Devarim (Deuteronomy) 11:22-25

"So it happened: The sun set, and it was very dark. Behold - there was a smoky furnace and a torch of fire which passed between these pieces. On that day YHVH made a covenant with Avram, saying, 'To your descendants have I given this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the Euphrates River.'" Bereishit (Genesis) 15:17-18

An inheritance of the whole Land of Israel is a promise from YHVH to Avraham's descendants.Let us not forget the Israeli settlers in Gaza, threatened with losing their homes and livelihood! Pray for them. Oh YHVH, please make Shalom upon all Israel!

A friend of mine in Jerusalem, Moshe Kempinski, writes:"Many of us believe that the expulsion could yet be blocked. Some have told us that we believe that because we want to. Others with some deeper insight have told us that we believe that because we need to. They may all be right. On the other hand, there may be a deeper sense of vision that directs our souls. It is that deeper sense of vision that gives us the right to believe what we believe and empowers us to act according to that belief. We are walking a delicate balance, between attempting to repair the "sin of the spies" while at the same time not recreating the sin of Rehavam and Yerovam (Jeroboam) in splitting up the tribes. We need to clearly declare our allegiance to G-d's promises and His vision regarding this land, while at the same time not disengaging from the rest of our nation during the struggle. This will not be as easy, as the forces purporting to represent law and order seem bent on achieving the opposite. Yet, we cannot allow them to still the cry. Even if we, G-d forbid, turn out to be wrong regarding the immediate direction of the divine plan, we will have emerged from this struggle a stronger and more faith-driven community. That is the ultimate victory against those with no faith and against those with faltering vision. Whatever HaShem has in store for us in the near future, the searing passion ignited by this war of wills and priorities will eventually refashion this people of Israel into the vessel they are meant to be."

Amen. YHVH is restoring His people Israel, and this disengamement from Gaza is part of His plan. We can trust YHVH, for we shall inherit the Land of promise.

I want to draw everyone's attention to a true story; the story of a 14 year old Israeli girl who was arrested and jailed by her government a month ago. Her crime? Telling a policewoman that she had every right to stand on "every inch of the Land of Israel". Read the full story in this letter from her father. It's important that people learn about what's really going on in Israel.

Of course, everyone's heard about the Jew who killed four Arabs on a bus in Shfaram today. Sad news. Remember what Yeshua says: "Love your enemies; pray for those that persecute you." Yeshua, teach your nation Israel to love.
