		Understanding Church views on Scripture 13 Jan 2010 Malcolm Hedding
Church movements down through history have all approached the Bible differently and this has greatly impacted how they relate to the world, and to Israel and the Jews. While the following models are presented in general terms, they nevertheless faithfully represent these movements and thereby allow us to better understand the theological factors that motivate their actions.

		The Valley of Decision 12 Jan 2010 Dr. Juergen Buehler
The book of Joel describes the last days through three major events which will take place in the Church, in Israel, and in the Nations. Firstly, the prophet Joel saw that before the "great and terrible day of the Lord," God would pour out His Spirit upon all flesh. It would be a final sweep of revival when "all who call on the name of the Lord will be saved." The last 100 years has indeed seen this being fulfilled in a powerful way. God's Spirit has been and still is moving mightily around the world. Read more ...

		The big blue marble 11 Jan 2010 David Parsons
After hailing an Arab taxi driver for a ride to east Jerusalem, he soon started voicing familiar Palestinian grievances. Then he leveled the clincher: “They do what they want!

If Jews truly control the world, then why is Israel always losing all those lopsided votes in UN forums? Read more ...

		Abounding in Hesed 10 Jan 2010 Dwight A. Pryor
SHIMON THE RIGHTEOUS, a member of the Great Assembly from the time of Ezra, stated that the world is established on three pillars (Avot 1:2): the Word of God (Torah); the service or worship of God (Avodah); and acts of kindness (Hesed). Hesed is a chief characteristic of the God of Israel and a core covenantal concept. Its range of meaning is wide and deep: lovingkindness, mercy, steadfast love, covenant loyalty and even grace.

ICEJ donates more bomb shelters to communities near Gaza 20 Jan 2010 By Taylor Innes
The war between Israel and the Hamas terror militia in Gaza ended in January one year ago, but for the students at the ORT Amit technical high school in Ashkelon, it wasn’t long before it started back up again. An advanced Grad rocket landed in the school’s courtyard a few weeks later, sending shrapnel in all directions and severely damaging the building.
