Statement on Barbara Bush

Former First Lady Barbara Bush passed away yesterday in Houston, Texas. She was 92. Along with Abigail Adams, Mrs. Bush is one of only two First Ladies in American history to see a child follow her husband to the U.S. Presidency.

The White House released this statement last night:
President Donald J. Trump and First Lady Melania Trump join the Nation in celebrating the life of Barbara Bush. As a wife, mother, grandmother, military spouse, and former First Lady, Mrs. Bush was an advocate of the American family. Amongst her greatest achievements was recognizing the importance of literacy as a fundamental family value that requires nurturing and protection. She will be long remembered for her strong devotion to country and family, both of which she served unfailingly well. The President and First Lady’s thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends of Mrs. Bush.
The U.S. flag will fly at half-staff until sunset of the day that Mrs. Bush is laid to rest.

A close, personal bond
Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe joined President Trump in Florida yesterday. “Shinzo and I have developed a very close relationship,” the President said. “We speak all the time. And our nations, I think, have never been closer than they are right now.”

Abe praised the President’s handling of North Korea. “For the first time in the history of the world, there will be this summit meeting between the United States and North Korea,” the Prime Minister said. “Donald, you’ve demonstrated your unwavering determination in addressing the challenge of North Korea. And I’d like to take this opportunity to express and pay my tribute to your leadership.”

The two leaders also discussed better trade deals. Since President Trump took office, America and Japan have negotiated a series of mutually beneficial deals. Through investment, hiring, and workforce development, Japanese companies support more than 850,000 American jobs. Major Japanese companies such as Toyota and Honda have also invested billions into U.S. factories. [...]

Celebrating Life - Israel at 70 Barbara at 92 !!!


The State of Israel celebrates its 70th birthday!
by World Israel News Staff

Israel made the complex transition from Yom Hazikaron (Memorial Day) to Yom Ha’atzmaut (Independence Day)
on Wednesday night, as the official ceremony kicked off the celebration that took place on Mount Herzl, in Jerusalem.


Each year, Yom Ha’atzmaut – Israel’s Independence Day – begins immediately following Yom HaZikaron, Israel’s Memorial Day, in memory of fallen soldiers and victims of terror. This transition from somber remembrance to joyous celebration helps serve as a reminder that the State of Israel owes its existence to those who made the ultimate sacrifice. [...]

Happy 70th Birthday Israel:
The Prophetic Significance of 70

http://free.messianicbible.com/feature/celebrating-israels-70th-birthday-number-70/
 
“You have turned my mourning into dancing; you took off my sackcloth and clothed me with a garment of joy.”  (Psalm 30:11)
 
After decades of struggle and strife to regain a right to live in our ancient homeland, Israel declared independence on May 14, 1948. 
 
On the Hebrew calendar, this day fell on the fifth of Lyar, which begins tonight.  But today, before the festivities begin, we have been honoring those who sacrificed their lives to help establish and maintain this tiny, free Jewish nation.  
 
As the sun sets on Yom Hazikaron (Memorial Day), the people will move from 24 hours of mourning the fallen to 24 hours of contagious rejoicing over Israel's 70th birthday.
 

Israelis dance on the street during Independence Day in Israel.
 
Tonight and tomorrow, crowds will be dancing in the streets, celebrating with song, wearing and waving patriotic colors, attending celebratory ceremonies and free open-air concerts given by some of Israel's greatest names in music.
 
In the USA, the Israeli-American Council (IAC) will be hosting fifteen large-scale festivals throughout the months of April and May.  Many more celebrations are planned in Canada, the UK, and throughout the world during these two months.
 
This year's anniversary is especially spectacular because 70 is a spectacular number in God's plan for Israel and the world.  Let's discover how this is so.

              Israel.

The Prophetic Significance of 70 
To better understand the number 70 in God's prophetic plan, we first need to understand the number seven (sheva in Hebrew), which also has great meaning in Israel.
 
“The words of the LORD are flawless, like silver purified in a crucible, like gold refined seven times.”  (Psalm 12:6)
 
The number seven is so prominent in Scripture that even scholars who do not give much weight to Biblical numerology recognize its importance.
 
Seven is the Divine number of completion, fullness, and spiritual perfection, typifying holiness and sanctification.
 
Seven is such a favorite number in Judaism, in fact, that the Midrash (Rabbinic literature) states, “All sevens are beloved.”  
(Vayikra Rabbah 29:9) 
 
Sheva (seven) shares the root (Shin-Bet-Ayin) with oath (shevua) and, therefore, is related to commitment.
 
There may be no better picture of this commitment than looking at God's promises to Israel through its exiles and regatherings, even to the end of time.
 
And the number 70 plays a significant role in His plan.
 

In Hebrew are the words Yom HaAtzmaut (Independence Day)
 
When the clans of Jacob and Joseph established themselves in Egypt after a long famine in Canaan, Scripture says that altogether there were "70 souls."  In the Hebrew, souls is actually written in the singular (soul) to suggest great unity amongst these clans (Genesis 46:27).
 
After 400 years in Egypt, God brought the Israelites into their own land.  Over time, they lost that privilege and entered into exile in Babylon for a total of 70 years
 
But God did not leave them without hope.  He made this commitment:
 
When seventy years have been completed for Babylon, I will visit you and fulfill My good word to you, to bring you back to this place.  
 
'For I know the plans that I have for you,' declares the LORD, 'plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope.  Then you will call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you.”  (Jeremiah 29:10–12)
 
That hope for a better future includes the regathering of the people to Israel:
 
“I will gather you from the nations and bring you back from the countries where you have been scattered, and I will give you back the land of Israel again.”  (Ezekiel 11:17)
 

A plane of 338 olim (immigrants) make Aliyah to Israel (Nefesh B'Nefesh

That hope also includes the rebirth of the nation of Israel:
 
"Who has heard of such a thing? Who has seen such things? Shall a land be born in one day? Shall a nation be delivered in one moment? Yet as soon as Zion was in labor she delivered her children."  (Isaiah 66:8)
 
Today, all of us can celebrate the perfect goodness of God as Israel enters its 70th year as a strong, secure, prosperous, sovereign, modern nation that blesses the world with its agricultural, technological, medical, and scientific advancements. 
 
And let us also celebrate how ancient Israel gave the world the Tanakh (Hebrew Scriptures), Brit Chadashah (New Testament), and of course Messiah Yeshua (Jesus).
 
However, we know that Israel is not yet perfect or complete; the people of this miraculously reborn nation has more of God's promises to look forward to, and it involves another 70.
 

Orthodox Jewish men overlook Jerusalem.
 
The Final Seventy: Resting with Messiah 
The number seven is not only associated with completion but also rest.  The Shabbat, for example, is the seventh day of the week that we set apart from all other days, for God has declared it holy. 
 
It is a day to rest from the work we do during the other six days of the week and focus on Him.
 
This sanctified day is especially meaningful when we realize it is only a small picture of the final rest that all Believers, Jew and Gentile, will enter when Messiah Yeshua reigns over His Messianic Kingdom. 
 
We are given a clue as to when this will occur in the Book of Daniel.
  
While in Babylonian captivity, Daniel received an incredible mathematical message from the angel Gabriel that clearly identified the timing of the coming of the Messiah as well as the completion of all things through a prophecy concerning 70 weeks of years.
 
"Seventy 'sevens' [490 years after the captivity in Babylon ends] are decreed for your people and your holy city to finish transgression, to put an end to sin, to atone for wickedness, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy and to anoint the Most Holy Place."  (Daniel 9:24
 
 
Most evangelical scholars who study the Book of Daniel and other end-time Scriptures, have concluded that these seventy weeks have been divided into two time periods.  
 
Sixty-nine weeks saw the death of the Anointed One, Yeshua (Jesus). 
 
The final 70th week will commence with the arrival of the anti-Messiah, who will make peace for 3 1/2 years as well as make terrible tribulation for the last 3 1/2 years.  (Daniel 9:2711:31; Matthew 24:15)
 
That time of Jacob's Trouble, as it is known, will end with the earth-shattering arrival of Messiah who will bring in a new, perfect order to all things, according to His glorious righteousness. 
 
The Apostle John wrote how this transition from tribulation to Messiah's reign will happen:
 
“Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, holding in his hand the key to the bottomless pit and a great chain.  He seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the Devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years. ...
 
“I also saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their testimony to Yeshua and for the word of God.  They had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands.
 
“They came to life and reigned with Messiah for a thousand years.”  (Revelation 20:1–6)
 
God's promise to bind Satan for 1,000 years so we can rest with the Prince of Peace, Messiah Yeshua Himself when these 70 sevens comes to a close reveals that God's hand is on history and that we all have a hope and a future.
 
"Of the greatness of His government and peace there will be no end.  He will reign on David’s throne and over His kingdom, establishing and upholding it with justice and righteousness from that time on and forever."  (Isaiah 9:7)

Israel's rebirth in 1948 is nothing short of miraculous!  Moreover, it is a testimony to the love and faithfulness of God.  
 
Although Israel is the only country in the world whose right to exist and defend itself is continuously challenged, and although Israelis continue to be murdered just because they are Israelis, and although peace remains a dream, the miracle of the rebirth of the ancient Jewish homeland points to the soon fulfillment of Israel's promised spiritual rebirth in the Messianic Kingdom to come.
 
It also points to the return of Yeshua HaMashiach (Jesus the Messiah) and the setting up of His kingdom with His throne in Jerusalem.
 
"I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go, and I will bring you back to this land.  I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you."  (Genesis 28:15)
 
"Then young women will dance and be glad, young men and old as well.  I will turn their mourning into gladness; I will give them comfort and joy instead of sorrow."  (Jeremiah 31:13)
