w vids Islamism Declares War on the Civilized World
by Bill Levinson
This makes it necessary to direct PsyWar against the foundations of Islam itself: Mohammad and the Unholy Koran. Islamists are, however, providing a lot of the propaganda themselves with selfies of rapes, mass executions, live burials, animal abuse, and so on.

w vid “Palestinian” Christian Speaks ar AFDI Rally for Israel and Persecuted Christians Under Islam
For the first time, defenders of Israel and representatives of minorities persecuted by Islamic jihadists from around the world gathered together to stand for life and for freedom. Finally, the truth.
Our speakers provided harrowing insight into the full breadth and depth of the havoc and destruction that Islamic jihadists have unleashed upon the world. New York Assemblyman Dov Hikind gave a stirring appeal for Israel in its struggle against the jihad, and was seconded by the eloquent Ethiopian Jewish spokesman Mordechai Tasman and an IDF soldier who spoke of his own experiences. Dr. Mordechai Kedar flew from Israel for the rally, and showed how the jihadists are proceeding according to quranic imperatives.
What was unprecedented and groundbreaking about our rally was that these strong defenders of Israel were joined by others: Yazidi spokesman Haider Elias, the toweringly courageous and eloquent Sudanese freedom fighter Simon Deng, Palestinian Christian Mazzen Warra, Pastor Matthew Singh of Christians United for Israel, Indian human rights activist Arish Sahani, and Kurdish spokesman Salar Motidi — all of them recognized that we all face the same foe, and all of them ringingly affirmed the necessity for us to stand together for freedom.Videographer, Pamela Hall.

Behold [re'eh], I set before you this day a blessing and a curse;
Deuteronomy 11:26 KJV
Shabbat Shalom - Parsha Re'eh - the Mountain of Blessing !!!
Using a yad (Torah pointer) to follow along in the reading of the Torah scroll.
Shabbat Shalom
Welcome to this week’s Torah Portion, which is called Re’eh (See).
This is the portion of Scripture that will be read
during Shabbat (Saturday) morning services in synagogues
around the world. Enjoy!
RE’EH (See!)
Deuteronomy 11:26–16:17; Isaiah 54:11–55:5;
John 16:1–17:26
“See [re'eh], I set before
you this day a blessing and a curse.” (Deuteronomy
11:26)
A view of Mount Ebal from Mount Gerizim, with Nablus (Shechem) in the
valley in between the two mountains on which the blessings and curses
were proclaimed when the Israelites crossed the Jordan into the
Promised Land.
Last week, in Parsha Eikev
(Because), Moses continued his closing
address to the Israelites, which he began in Parsha Devarim.
He promised them that if they obeyed the Torah’s
commandments, they would prosper in the Promised Land.
In this week’s Torah portion, God sets before the people
of Israel a clear choice: they could either obey God’s commandments (mitzvot)
and enjoy a life of blessing (brakha),
or disobey and suffer the resulting curse (klalah).
The blessings are to be proclaimed on Mount
Gerizim and the curses on Mount Ebal when the people cross
over the Jordan into the Holy Land.
“When Adonai your God
brings you into the land you are entering in order to take
possession of it, you are to put the blessing on
Mount Gerizim and the curse on Mount Ebal.” (Deuteronomy
11:29)
Samaritans lift the Torah on Mount Gerizim during Shavuot, otherwise
called Pentecost or the Feast of Weeks.
These two mountains are situated in the vicinity of the
West Bank city of Nablus
(Biblical
Shechem). On Mount Gerizim is an Israeli
settlement called Har
Brakha (Mount of Blessing). It is
located near a Samaritan village called Kiryat Luza (Town of
Luza).
This mountain is a point of divergence between
the Shomronim (Samaritans)
and the Jewish People.
The Shomronim consider Mount Gerizim a sacred place and
believe that God intended the Holy Temple to be built on it,
rather than Jerusalem’s
Temple Mount.
Today, most Samaritans live in close proximity to
Gerizim; it is here that they perform their annual Passover
sacrifice.
The Samaritans lift the Torah on Pesach (Passover) on Mount Gerizim.
Walking in the
Blessings
When confronted with choosing between walking
in the blessings or walking in the curses, all sane people
choose blessing.
This Parsha makes it plain, however, that blessings
follow obedience to the Torah. And many find obedience
difficult as they struggle with temptation and the weakness
of their flesh.
As followers of
Yeshua (Jesus) the Messiah, our deepest heart’s desire
is to obey God and to keep His ways. The Spirit of God
in us compels us toward obedience. More than that, it
empowers us to be obedient.
Nevertheless, obedience isn’t automatic. We must first
discover what holiness is.
Paul lamented the "evil
inclination” (yetzer hara) that
causes people to fail, doing the opposite of what they
intended to do.
“Although I want to do
good, evil is right there with me. For in my inner being
I delight in God’s Torah; but I see another law at work in
me, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a
prisoner of the law of sin at work within me.” (Romans
7:21–23)

There is only one who can save us from our
wretchedness and that is, of course, Yeshua the Messiah.
“What a wretched man I am!
Who will rescue me from this body that is subject to
death? Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Yeshua
HaMashiach (the Messiah) Adoneinu (our Lord)!” (Romans
7:24–25)
Believers may still struggle with the desires of their
flesh and should remember there is not a person alive who
hasn’t sinned and fallen short of the glory of God (Romans
3:23). That is why we need Yeshua and continue to
need Him.
Therefore,
although we strive to grow in our faith and character,
becoming more and more obedient to the Lord, we must
daily depend upon the sacrifice of the One Man whose
perfect obedience has made us righteous in Him—Yeshua
HaMashiach (Jesus the Messiah).
“For as through the one
man's disobedience the many were made sinners, even so
through the obedience of the One the many will be made
righteous.” (Romans 5:19)
That does not negate the emphasis Scripture places on
the vast importance of heeding God’s commands. When we do,
our lives are blessed, as are future generations.
Spirit-led obedience is the heart of our faith
and God’s will for us. While some excuse their
disobedience saying it is just too hard, in reality it is
much harder to live with the consequences of disobedience.
As B. J. Miller said, “It is a great deal easier to do
that which God gives us to do, no matter how hard it is than
to face the responsibilities of not doing it.”

Finding Peace in
the Midst of the Storm
The Haftarah (prophetic portion of Scripture) this week
contains promises that will help us find peace in
the midst of the storm.
“O
you afflicted one, lashed and tossed about by storms and
not comforted, I will rebuild you with stones of
turquoise, your foundations with lapis lazuli. I will
make your battlements of rubies, your gates of sparkling
jewels, and all your walls of precious stones.
“All your children will be taught
by the LORD, and great will be their peace.
“In
righteousness you will be established: Tyranny will be far
from you; you will have nothing to fear. Terror will be
far removed; it will not come near you. If anyone does
attack you, it will not be my doing; whoever attacks you
will surrender to you.” (Isaiah 54:11–15)
God has good things in store for us and we may need, at
times, to cling to this passage like a drowning person
holding onto a lifesaver in the midst of a stormy sea.
His promise is not
only for ourselves but also for our children.
No matter how things look we can confidently confess
repeatedly: the Lord is teaching my children and making
their peace great.

So many people today are simply looking for
inner peace; however, it seems increasingly difficult to
find it in our troubled, noisy and conflict-ridden world.
We may desire peace for ourselves and for our families but
instead we often feel tossed about in the storms of life.
At times, it seems that Yeshua must be asleep in our
little boat. We are desperately hoping and praying that
Yeshua will just wake up, stand up in the middle of the boat
and shout SHEKET!!
(QUIET!!) to the fierce winds and tsunami-sized
waves that threaten to capsize us.
The peace we are
longing for is not so much a matter of circumstances,
but inner peace in the midst of them.
Yeshua promised us a peace that passes all understanding.
Yeshua promised us a peace that passes all understanding.
That means it is not the kind of peace that we have when
no one is troubling us and everything is going our way.
Quite the opposite.
Yeshua Stilling the Tempest, by James Tissot
Yeshua said in this world we will have trouble but that
we can still be of good cheer, for He has overcome the
world. The peace that Yeshua gives us is not like the world
gives. It is a decision we make that no matter what others
choose for themselves, we are going to hold onto our peace.
It is an issue of deliberate choices. We can
choose obedience and blessing or disobedience and cursing.
No matter how people act, or what they say, or what
choices they make, we can choose a path of peace. It is not
always easy or without pain. We cannot always resolve our
differences with other people who seem bent on causing
strife.
But what we can do
is take it to the Lord and leave it with Him,
refusing to enter into strife, trusting God to resolve the
situation in His perfect way and time.
“If it is possible, as far
as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.” (Romans
12:18)

God Speaks in our
Love Language
In chapter 54 of Isaiah, God addresses Israel in the
feminine and speaks in the first person masculine.
He speaks to His Beloved Bride in her “love
language,” promising her beautiful gifts of jewels and
precious stones, but also love, safety, physical
well-being and protection. God asks nothing of
Israel, but offers an everlasting covenant of unconditional
love.
But in chapter 55, the language changes. In the Hebrew,
we see a switch from addressing Israel collectively to
individually. The grammar also changes from the feminine to
the masculine. God
speaks to each person individually through the Prophet
Isaiah saying,
“Whoever is thirsty, come
for water; and he that has no money; come buy and eat;
Yes, come buy wine and milk without money and without
price.” (Isaiah 55:1)
It is only the things of the Spirit that can truly
satisfy the deepest longings of our soul, and the prophet
beckons the people to come to God and buy three things:
water, wine, and milk.
Samaritan Woman at the Well, by Angelika Kauffmann
Water represents life. It is a drink that literally
descends from heaven.
We can live for some time without food, but water is the
most essential compound for life. Yeshua said to
the Samaritan woman at the well that if we would drink of
the water that He offers, then we would never thirst again
spiritually.
“Yeshua answered,
‘Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but
whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst.
Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a
spring of water welling up to eternal life.” (John
4:13–14)
This was not the only time He proclaimed that He was the
answer to the thirsty soul.
On the last day of Sukkot (Feast of Tabernacles), Yeshua
stood up and said in a loud voice,
“Let anyone who is thirsty
come to Me and drink. Whoever believes in Me, as
Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from
within them.” By this He meant the Spirit, whom those who
believed in Him were later to receive.” (John
7:37–39)

Milk is also a gift from God that nourishes life. It is
a sign of God’s blessing as well as prosperity and abundance
(Ezekiel 25:4; Joel 3:18), as found in the Promised
Land that “flows with milk and honey.”
Although wine today is less essential to life than water
or milk, in the ancient Near East, where water was scarce,
it was a necessity. Like water and milk, in the Bible it
symbolizes life and sustenance, and it is linked to
community and the covenant blessings that come from
obedience.
Just after calling
all who are spiritually thirsty, all who thirst for God,
this Haftarah passage ends with the promise of an
everlasting covenant through the Messiah, who is David’s
descendant:
“I will make an
everlasting covenant with you, My faithful love promised
to David. See, I have made Him a witness to the peoples,
a ruler and commander of the peoples.” (Isaiah
55:3–4)
This Haftarah passage reveals that in the Last
Days, the Nation of Israel will blossom spiritually,
quenching its thirst in the True Source of its life, and
the nations will be drawn, as well, and “come running.”
In these troubled Last Days when the Jewish People
face increasing anti-Semitism around the world, please
pray that no weapon forged against them will prevail,
and that they will be able to refute every tongue that
accuses them, as God promises (Isaiah 54:17).
Please also help us bring the Good News of Yeshua to
the Holy Land, and pray for the salvation of all who
live here.
"You will again
have compassion on us; You will tread our sins
underfoot and hurl all our iniquities into the depths
of the sea." (Micah 7:19)
"Hear the word
of the LORD, you nations; proclaim it in distant
coastlands: 'He who scattered Israel will gather them
and will watch over His flock like a shepherd." (Jeremiah
31:10)
Shabbat Shalom from the Entire Bibles For Israel
Staff!
“‘Bring the
whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food
in My house. Test Me in this,' says the Lord Almighty,
'and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of
heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not
be room enough to store it.’” (Malachi 3:10)
