Israel will come back from a hopeless situation. If we look at the entire history of the diaspora, as well as the Nazi death camps, then we see that they will return and become one people again. Some commentators view Ezekiel 37 as already having been fulfilled at the return from Babylonian captivity. This could indeed be one fulfillment, but did everything recorded in the chapter happen at that time? The wind comes from all four directions, whereas the return from Babylonian

Bet Shemesh Engines, which makes parts for engines used in Israeli fighter jets, has secured a $1.2 billion contract for the supply of critical jet engine components to one of the world’s leading aircraft engine manufacturers, the company said. Founded in 1968, Bet Shemesh Engines designs, develops, and manufactures parts and components for jet engines, including castings of blades, forging of disks, and machining of rotating parts. Based around the city of Beit Shemesh, outs

When we con­sider Ezekiel 37 in its overall context, its primary focus isn’t the resurrection of the dead, but the miracle of the restoration of Israel and the Jewish people. The theme is the return of Israel to its land and the people’s spiritual renewal. I’d like to begin this topic with two men who lived at the same time and shared the same first name. One lived in Europe, and the other across the pond in the US. Both were Bible-believing Christians who were convinced the

Question: Why should Palestinians who have lived in Jerusalem for hundreds of years be evicted from their homes so that Jews from Brooklyn can live in them? Answer: After World War II, millions of German Citizens were removed from German lands that were lost to expand Russia and Poland. The land of Prussia ceased to exist, their old Prussian capital Königsberg renamed by Russia to Kaliningrad. The German city of Strasbourg was retaken by France. It did not matter that Strasbo

Zechariah 12 talks about the national repentance of Israel in turning to Christ. This is a future event. About a quarter of the Scripture is prophecy. In Amos 3:7 it says, “For the Lord GOD does nothing without revealing his secret to his servants the prophets.” There’s a famous verse from Proverbs 25:2, which says, “It is the glory of God to conceal things, but the glory of kings is to search things out.” God gave us a brain, and he expects us to use it … to invest brain pow

Although Israel has a relatively high incidence of melanoma compared to many countries—partly due to frequent sun exposure (intentional when getting a sunburn) or unintentional, and the prevalence of unprotected fair skin among many residents—the mortality rates are relatively low thanks to early detection and good treatment outcomes. According to the Health Ministry, there are between 1,700 and 2,000 new diagnoses of this type of skin cancer in Israel every year. Worldwide,

In the eighth and seventh centuries BCE, Assyria was the superpower in the Near East, ruling an empire that stretched from Egypt in the southwest to parts of modern-day Turkey in the north and all the way eastward to parts of modern-day Iran. At the time, the Jewish people were split into two kingdoms: Israel in the north and Judah in the south. As Assyria and Egypt faced off, the two kingdoms were forced to choose: would they side with Egypt to the south or Assyria to the no

“ I will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely: for mine anger is turned away from him ” (Hosea 14:4). The prophet Hosea does not mince words. Unashamedly, he reveals Israel’s horrible sins. One trembles when reading words like, “cause to cease the kingdom of the house of Israel” (Hosea 1:4b); “I will no more have mercy upon the house of Israel” (v. 6); and in verse 8, “I will not be your God.” Verse 10 adds, “Ye are not my people.” Before we proceed, we must realiz

A brief overview of our ministry to local churches through the work at the Beth Shalom Hotel. We were privileged to host our second conference for Children’s Ministry leaders from across the country. The conference was organized by Medallion and Beth Shalom. The goal was to provide leaders with practical ministry tools, as well as encouragement and spiritual guidance. Beth Shalom Hotel regularly hosts a variety of Messianic conferences. One of our primary concerns is to be a

European governments that condemn Israel and announce sanctions still line up for its air defense systems, as fears of Russian drones and other threats override political boycotts. At a joint appearance in Jerusalem, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz warned against any steps in the West Bank that might amount to annexation, insisting there should be “no formal, political or structural measures” in that direction and reiterating that “recognition of a Palestinian state should c

Stefan Eiriksson, director-general of Icelandic national broadcaster RÚV, said: “There is no peace or joy connected to this contest as things stand now. On that basis, first and foremost, we are stepping back while the situation is as it is.” RÚV said Israel’s participation had “created disunity among both members of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and the general public.” Israel’s presence at Eurovision has been an increasing source of tension, because of the war in Ga

[The following is commentary from] Bishop Dennis Nthumbi is the Africa director of the Israel Allies Foundation, president of the Golgotha Christian Foundation, and international bishop of the African American Clergy Leaders Association. Decisions on Gaza, Judea and Samaria, and the Golan Heights must remain solely in the hands of Israel’s elected legislature to protect national security and self-determination. Current diplomatic discourse at the United Nations regarding Gaza

There is something deeply Israeli about the road that led here. Israel did not decide in the abstract to dominate an arms race; it was dragged into one. From the first crude rockets fired out of Gaza to the mass barrages launched by Hamas and Hezbollah, by the Houthis in Yemen, and by Iran itself, the country has been forced to innovate or absorb intolerable levels of civilian harm. As Defense Minister Israel Katz has explained, the Iron Beam is a ground-based, high-power las

Israel’s Civil Administration announced its intention to expropriate large swaths of Sebastia, a major archaeological site in the West Bank, in the document obtained by The Associated Press. Peace Now, an anti-settlement watchdog group, said the site is around 1,800 dunams (450 acres)—Israel’s largest seizure of archaeologically important land. The capital of the ancient Israelite kingdom Samaria is thought to be beneath the ruins of Sebastia, and Christians and Muslims belie

It’s been nearly two years since Hamas terrorists attacked Israel and brutally murdered over 1,200 people on October 7, 2023. Since then, Israel has had to expand its fight to more fronts, and is being threatened from all sides. That’s why it’s time to stand up and cry out for the Jews just as Dietrich Bonhoeffer did, who said, “Only he who cries out for the Jews is permitted to sing Gregorian chant.” I’d like to preface my own thoughts with these words: “Comfort, comfort my

Prophesying about his three sons Ham, Shem, and Japheth, Noah pronounced, “Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren. And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant. God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant” (Gen 9:25-27). The Almighty refers to Himself as “the Lord God of Shem”—not of Ham (Canaan) or of Japheth. The Lord later refers to Himself as: • The God

As the Israel-Gaza war shows signs of winding down, another front of the conflict has intensified far beyond the region’s borders: a wave of global boycotts targeting companies linked to Israel. From fast-food chains and tech giants to consumer brands and airlines, activists have urged consumers to cut ties with firms seen as complicit in the war or operating in areas they deem as “occupied territories.” However, behind the visibility lies a more complex reality. Economists a

Palestinian support for Hamas’s October 7th attack rose by three percent, from 50% to 53%, from May to October of 2025, a recent poll by People’s Company for Polls and Survey Research (PCPSR) revealed. The majority of respondents supported Hamas’s response to the deal, but opposed the disarmament of Hamas. Nearly three-quarters (70%) of Palestinians, including almost 80% in the West Bank and 55% in Gaza, opposed the idea of the terror group laying down arms. Meanwhile, 60% of

Israel, with an average life expectancy of 83.8 years, climbed to fourth in the world among OECD countries regarding longest lifespans, new data published by the Ministry of Health revealed. Israel trails after Japan (84.1), Switzerland (84.3), and Spain (84). Further, this comes despite low public investment in health, compared to many European countries. According to the report, Israel invests 7.6% of its GDP in health, while in Germany the investment stands at 12.3%, in Au

“ Son of man, behold, they of the house of Israel say, The vision that he seeth is for many days to come, and he prophesieth of the times that are far off. Therefore say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; There shall none of my words be prolonged any more, but the word which I have spoken shall be done, saith the Lord GOD ” (Ezekiel 12:27-28). It is well-documented that the Jews prayed for over 2,000 years, “next year in Jerusalem.” They waited, waited, and waited. Each gene
