Please forward the following alert as far and wide in
your sphere of prayer support for Israel
On Our Faces and On Our Knees
“Don’t say your prayers! You must pray with all your
might. That does not mean saying your prayers, or
sitting gazing about in Church or chapel with eyes wide
open while someone else says them for you. It means
fervent, effectual, untiring wrestling with God…this
kind of prayer be sure the devil and the world and your
own indolent, unbelieving nature will oppose…” –William
Booth.
“…all that are incensed against him shall be ashamed. In
the Lord shall all the seed of Israel be justified, and
shall glory” (Isaiah 45:24-25).
Be Prepared For An Emergency:
Recent events (i.e. the butchering of an Israeli family
in Itamar, the bus stop bombing in Jerusalem at one of
the busiest times of day and the unending cries, by the
Palestinians and the entire Arab world, to save
“Palestine” from the Jews) have proven that Israel
may be on the edge of an emergency. As
intercessors, it is our responsibility to recognize the
harbingers before they happen! Israelis are bracing
for a major war with Hamas in the Gaza Strip, the Arabs
are now planning their own Palestinian state and to top
it all off, they have been propagating their “rush on
Jerusalem” and possible dates of war on Facebook. As
someone said “all they have on their minds is to kill
the Jews (and then the Christians).” Facebook Intifada
pages abound. As soon as the scandalous announcements
about another “Intifada” on Israel are removed, new ones
are launched. Reports circulate that hundreds of
Facebook pages still exist. The message is the same:
“Arabs worldwide must begin their Jihad (holy war) and
killing Jews is praiseworthy.”
The Spirit Of Defiance:
Islam’s hideous threats and mockery of the Jewish people
are unending and to say these types of people are
“heartless” is to be kind. Gaddafi called for Arab
refugees to “March on Israel.” He also called for the
Muslim world to unite against the non-Muslim world. The
“Western world,” including the United States and Europe,
has gone on the attack against the Islamic world, he has
said. Even Barghouti called for a march on Israel
from his prison cell. Of course his statements
make no sense but this is typical of the lies they
spread. Iran is claiming it has advanced centrifuges in
operation now so they are continuing in their pursuit
for world domination. The spirit of defiance is
unparalleled. Turkish IHH ill-fated anti-Israel ship
convoy to Gaza are organizing another one – this time
with an airplane. (See article by Hillel Fendel on Arutz
Sheva News, 04/11/11).
March Of Return Scheduled For May 15, 2011.
According to Herman Wouk’s book The Hope, written
in 1993, May 15, 1948, was the “long-fixed official
date—the British mandate will end, the British
government and army will pull out of Palestine, in toto,
and a showdown is bound to explode. Five neighboring
Arab countries are pledged to march their armies into
Palestine on that selfsame day, to wipe out the Zionist
entity in a week or two. The British Balfour
Declaration, which encouraged Zionism, the Arabs have
always considered a monstrous illegality, and this is
their chance to reverse it” (Pg. 5, The Hope,
1993). On Independence Day, May 14, 1948, a nation was “born
in a day” (Isaiah 66:8). It was a birth brought
about by the Almighty in accordance with His Promise to
Abraham, Isaac and Jacob—Israel’s forefathers. The
first Intifada began on December 9, 1987, the
second
Al-Aqsa
Intifada was underway in late September 2000,
and according to a very popular Facebook page, the third
coming of the violent Palestinian uprising is scheduled
to kick off this year, on May 15 - the Palestinian
Nakba Day and the anniversary of the
establishment of
Israel in 1948.
Israel has learned to live one day at a time and one
fight at a time, but today the Arab world is armed to
the teeth with lethal weaponry and Israel cannot afford
a miscalculation. The Church cannot afford to miss
this spiritual opportunity to push back the enemy,
not only from the gates, but to be a Wall of spiritual
protection shielding the Jewish state from any
pre-emptive attack to start an Armageddon-type war.
Deception! The Immediate Coming Of The Islamic Messiah?
Reza Kahlili on March 29th wrote, “several
months ago I was informed by my contacts in the Iranian
Revolutionary Guard that the Basij had started a project
that had the approval of the Iranian Supreme Leader
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and the Iranian President Mahmoud
Ahmadinejad. The purpose of the project was to inform
Muslims across the globe of the immediate coming of
the last Islamic messiah. The Iranian leaders, now
more than ever, feel that all the stars are aligned for
such an event. Ever since the Iranian Revolution of
1979, the Islamic rulers of Iran have declared
themselves representatives of God on Earth, believing
their mission is to pave the way for the reappearance of
the last messiah, the Shiites 12th Imam Mahdi…
According to the Hadith in the age of The Coming, a
revolution takes place in Iran. This is a key sign
indicating that the reappearance is near…Based on this
belief, the leaders of Iran see it as their duty to
prepare the ground for The Coming. One of the most
important events to securing the reappearance…is the
annihilation of Israel and conquering Beitol Moghadas
(Jerusalem). They state with conviction that Islam will
soon conquer the world and all infidels will be
destroyed…War, chaos, and lawlessness must engulf the
world to pave the way for Imam Mahdi’s reappearance...”
The deception lies in that they feel they are the
righteous on the earth and all of us are the infidels
and sinners.
As this movie is distributed throughout the Basij and
Revolutionary Guards’ bases, their hope is to
also distribute it throughout the entire Middle East.
Their intention is to incite further uprisings with the
hope of motivating Arabs to overthrow the US-backed
governments with the final goal of the annihilation of
Israel and Allah’s governance of the world! This movie
can be viewed on Google at: Video: The Coming is Upon
Us.
If my discernment and knowledge of the Bible are
correct, this pushing forward the “appearance of the
Mahdi war” is to prevent the appearance of the REAL
MESSIAH!
Islam (the basis of its teaching from satan’s deceptive
lies) believes that if it destroys Israel, the real
Messiah, Yeshua (Jesus) will not return. We know He will
come only to a Jewish Jerusalem and the Land will be in
the hands of the Children of Israel. Somehow, we must
pray that the back of Islam will be broken so that many
disenchanted and disappointed hearts will look to the
real One True God of Israel and Messiah, Jesus (Yeshua).
Without a defeat, they will brag about “their” messiah.
Let’s study God’s Word again, be certain of its promises
and begin to pray His Word into being. This way we will
be firmly fastened to the ROCK OF AGES, which
will never budge during the hard times ahead!
Intercessors…it is time to pray!! Please, forward this
all over the earth as the Church must arise and push
back the battle away from the gates!
The world needs to know what acts are continually forced
upon the Jewish state and need to raise voices in
protest against the continual war of hatred against the
Jewish people by Islam. Reports are that Iran’s
fingerprints could be seen on the attack and this will
increase. And so…Christians who love Israel awaken
others to the necessity of unceasing prayer for the
Jewish nation. Remember: if the tree falls so will
the branches!! Facebook pages have been created
calling for a third “Intifada” on Israel which actually
means to take over Israel by force. The last Intifada
resulted in 18 deadly terror bombings, and hundreds of
innocent people were killed. As residents of Israel,
we remember well those sad days and we launched a
project “Under His Wings” to help terror attack victims
in Israel (see below). The reason I choose to send
another “alert update” now is to ask for fervent prayer
and intercession from all lovers of Israel all over the
earth.
Please feel free to forward our alerts to as many people
on your
own mailing lists as possible who will pray. God bless
you!

Who is Christian Friends of Israel?
Christian Friends of Israel (CFI) is an international,
nondenominational, evangelical Christian Zionist
ministry legally registered in Israel with its
headquarters in Jerusalem. CFI also has numerous
Representative offices throughout the world (please see
www.cfijerusalem.org).
Our two main objectives are (1) to educate and teach the
Church its Hebrew heritage and Biblical responsibility
to the Jewish people and (2) to work for the welfare of
the Jewish nation by being a blessing to Israel
according to Genesis 12:3. These purposes are
accomplished through outreach projects (see list below)
and quality monthly online newsletters and a quarterly
state-of-the art publication. Other Christian
educational resource literature and materials are
produced on a regular basis for informing the Christian
world. CFI has also maintained a Distribution Center for
new immigrants since 1991 helping over one quarter of a
million newcomers to their homeland. A new Distribution
Center is to open in the first part of 2011 in
Jerusalem. Further information on getting involved is
available on the website listed above. Christian Friends
of Israel – Jerusalem believes the next great move of
God will be the reconnection of the Church to her Jewish
roots; therefore, seeking the welfare of the Jewish
people and their right to secure borders and a nation of
their own, as decreed by the Almighty, is of prime
importance to our existence.
