		The Battle for Silwan 03 Mar 2010 David Parsons
It seems every week another flashpoint in Jerusalem is making headlines. Sheikh Jarrah, Gilo, Har Homa, the E-1 Corridor… not to mention the Temple Mount. The latest neighborhood in the spotlight is Silwan, just south of the Old City. Known in the Bible as Siloam, this area is the subject of a prolonged turf fight that has actually been flying a bit under the radar given its enormous significance. It is probably the second most hotly contested site in Jerusalem after the Temple Mount compound. Read more ...

		Armageddon now? 10 Feb 2010 Malcolm Hedding
Time and time again one hears the accusation that Christians view the restoration of Israel as a stepping stone to the final battle of Armageddon in which countless Jews will perish. Supposedly, this is what motivates Christian Zionists to side with Israel at present, while ultimately wanting to accelerate ‘the end’ and with it the second coming of Jesus. As a consequence, the Jewish world is being warned to stay away from such Christians, since their support is insincere and based on a dark eschatological agenda. Read more ...

		The Valley of Decision 09 Feb 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.

God's Spirit has been and still is moving mightily around the world. Read more ...

		The Mystery of One 08 Feb 2010 David Parsons
There is an unprecedented move among Christians today to stand with Israel and recapture the Jewish roots of our faith, and this growing interest in the Hebraic culture of Jesus is bearing much good fruit. Yet as Christians engage with new-found Jewish friends, most eventually run into certain theological “obstacles,” such as the Torah’s ban on idolatry. At some point, the question arises as to whether, in worshipping Jesus, are we violating a central tenet of the Hebrew Scriptures... Read more ...

ICEJ gift expands special home for Holocaust survivors 05 Feb 2010 By Taylor Innes
In December, the International Christian Embassy Jerusalem was given a special opportunity to help expand a community home for dozens of Holocaust survivors in Haifa. Our German branch was able to quickly respond with a donation of $25,000 to allow the charitable group “Yad Ezer L’Haver” (Helping Hands to Friends) to take possession of the ground floor of a building next door to their current respite home. After renovations are completed in March...

ICEJ assists Jews from Sweden, South Africa in making aliyah 05 Feb 2010 By David Parsons
In his first year as chairman of the Jewish Agency, Natan Sharansky presided over the biggest increase in aliyah in 10 years, as over 16,000 Jews moved to Israel in 2009, a 17 percent increase over the previous year. The International Christian Embassy Jerusalem was encouraged by this news, and continues to assist Jews coming home to Israel from all corners of the globe.

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.
