Think on This! “When our enemies heard that we were aware of their plot and that God had frustrated it, we all returned to the wall, each to our own work. From that day on, half of my men did the work, while the other half were equipped with spears, shields, bows and armor. The officers posted themselves behind all the people of Judah who were building the wall. Those who carried materials did their work with one hand and held a weapon in the other, and each of the builders wore his sword at his side as he worked. But the man who sounded the trumpet stayed with me. Then I said to the nobles, the officials and the rest of the people, “The work is extensive and spread out, and we are widely separated from each other along the wall. Wherever you hear the sound of the trumpet, join us there. Our God will fight for us!” (Nehemiah 4:15-20)
Pray on This! Gracious heavenly Father, your word says that in the days of Nehemiah Israel had to go about the task of nation building with a hammer in one hand and a sword in the other. Please give the people of Israel the courage to pick up their hammers and swords once again. Help the leadership in Israel to have faith that you will fight for them and face down their enemies as they build and build some more. AMEN
You are right on Shelley.
Shava Tov to you,

Thanks Jerry. Great blog.
I am much more optomistic about the outcome of Israel than I am the United States. Though the nation remains in unbelief, and often leans too far left to deal with its existence in a Godly manner. it is clear that God’s promises to Israel are without repentance and the nation will survive whatever is coming. For the United States however, as the warnings in Joel 3:2 remain ignored, unheeded or trounced upon, judgment is certain without repentance. A line has been crossed, and only the grace and mercy of God has prevented major judgment on the US till now.
Back in 04, I sent best as I could . intel to Yisrael through friends to tell the GVMNT to say to heck withu the US and its policies I have studied this stuff since age 10. 48 years now. I knew then that the Us would not be there for Yisrael at the fatal hours. She would stand alone fro Daniel;s 70th week.
America I said then would be in her own state of turmoil and could not help anyone, not even herself.
Yisrael ! look out for you. Depend on Elohim and his power to fingjt with you.
as for America read Jeremiah 11:11-17, cuts outhe middle thought. Adonai gave me this 2.5 years ago. Most preachers push me out or cast me side when I give them this.
I work and teach Biblical truthes this is just another that men cannot fathom. Tht adonai is not a socker dad or wooshy cooshy. He is sovereign , can be dangerous. ALAS they dont like that either. Sorry ! Finis, shalom…..
The ultimate offence move would be to recapture the temple mount, rebuild the temple and run the strongly deluded followers of the dead prophet of Mecca out of the Old testement boundries of Isreal that God gave to Moses. Sadly Isreal neither follows the law of Moses or the prophet he spoke of, and that being the messiah Jesus Christ of Nazereth. Jerusalem is likened unto the evil of Egypt and Sodom in its rulers and their rejection of the word of God, their Messiah and his people. Soon grace is to be poured upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem and they will have the veil lifted and cry “blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord” Then his feet will stand upon the mount of Olives and he will enter the eastern gate. Jesus Christ is the only hope to the nation of Isreal…the Palistineans “Edomites and Ammonites” and sons of Ismael. Thank you sister Neese for your encouraging Isreal to possese the land. May we all pray for the peace of Jerusalem and the US leaders to bless and not curse Isreal as do the wicked UN and New World Order. And go Tigers!
I PRAY FOR ISRAEL TO PICK UP THEIR HAMMERS AND SWORDS – THEY ARE ON THE WINNING SIDE BECAUSE THE GOD OF ABRAHAM, ISAAC AND JACOB GAVE THEM THE LAND OF ISRAEL AND HE BROUGHT THEM BACK AND HE IS WATCHING OVER THEM. HE WILL CURSE THEM WHO CURSE ISRAEL AND THE JEWISH PEOPLE AND HE WILL BLESS THOSE WHO BLESS THEM – I AM SO GLAD HE HAS BLESSED ME SO MUCH BY GIVING ME A LOVE FOR THE JEWISH PEOPLE AND HE HAS BLESSED ME ABUNDANTLY – – IN PSALM 138 HE HAS MAGNIFED HIS WORD EVEN ABOVE ALL HIS NAME
HIS NAME..HALLELUJAH TO THE KING OF KINGS…JESUS, KING OF THE JEWS AND MY KING TOO..
One million muslims are not worth even one jew . I have yet to figure out why my government sends my monet to ANY muslim country , much less to the phoney made-up nation of the palistinians . I still have not figured out why my cowardly leaders did not nuke Mecca and Medina during the first ramadon after 9 / 11 .
I absolutely agree. I hate seeing Isreal having to tuck its tail between its legs and shy off at every stinkeye glance given it by the United States. I have read that the U.S. diplomats are now criticizing Israel for not standing up to these regimes early on to make itself a feared, rather than more hated, presence in the Middle East – even though it was the U.S. that kept telling them to back down at every step! They cannot win with friends like the current U.S. Administration.
