  • A CHRISTIAN PASSOVER.

    The Jewish feast perfectly fulfilled by the Lamb of God. by Charles Gardner. It seems the ‘Christian’ West is particularly out of sync with Israel this year, with Easter and Passover separated by several weeks – they are usually much closer together despite following different calendars. And it comes against the background of rising pressure […]

  • From Netivyah. March 23, 2024. By Joseph Shulam – From Mount Juliet, Tennessee, USA

    The Torah portion that will be read in synagogues around the world is my Bar-Mitzvah reading. When I was 13, my father sent me to the neighborhood Rabbi to study for my Bar-Mitzvah.  Bar-Mitzvah is the right of passage for any male child moving from being a child who is not responsible for himself. Still, […]

  • REDEMPTION IS NEAR.

    The flood of evil will be more than matched by a heavenly outpouring. by Charles Gardner. When I wrote last week how the Lord was trying to encourage Israel through a particular verse of Scripture, I wasn’t to know that he was about to add emphasis to the word by repeating himself. Saying again, that […]

  • AN UPSIDE-DOWN WORLD.

    But the tables will be turned as the Lord raises his standard! by Charles Gardner. LONDON, March 13, 2024 – The exponential rise of anti-Jewish feeling in the wake of the Israel-Gaza war grows ever more alarming – until we recognise that God is at work. For the prophet Isaiah wrote that “when the enemy […]

    Jerusalem centre celebrates 175 years of commitment to Jewish restoration. by Charles Gardner. JERUSALEM, March 8, 2024 – The author of Israel’s national anthem Hatikvah (The Hope) was evidently impressed by Jesus.

  • ANNE FRANK’S FRIEND.

    Amsterdam’s living hell gives way to heaven’s blessings. by Charles Gardner. While hate-filled demonstrators call for Israel’s destruction in London and elsewhere, the streets of Amsterdam are regularly blessed by Dutch Christians praising the Lord in the beauty of his holiness. As I write, I am freshly inspired by watching (on YouTube) the Presence Praise […]

  • ‘Israel has sinned’.

    Messianic leaders call for national repentance. by Charles Gardner. Messianic congregations in Israel have been called to three days of fasting and prayer, focusing on repentance among themselves as well as the nation. The stirring call, signed by several dozen leaders, said the October 7th massacre had come about because of sin in the land […]

  • BIG BEN BETRAYAL.

    Britain meekly surrenders to the Islamic agenda. by Charles Gardner. The antisemitic message projected onto Big Ben has understandably provoked much outrage in Britain. It is a shameful betrayal of the Jewish people, and not for the first time in our nation. Pro-Palestinian protestors managed to light up the iconic clock tower with the message […]
