What to expect from Israel’s Elections – News from Jerusalem

by Tom Brennan, Scripture instructs us to trust neither in princes nor in horses. Many of us are relieved that PM Netanyahu was re-elected after what seemed like a close campaign. Most of us are dismayed and even angry at the conduct of the American President and the alleged interference in the campaign by funding other candidates and the immature behavior after the result. Many Americans are calling for an official investigation. But we must remember that politics are a secular event, composed of promises and compromises: the Bible permits no compromise in its instructions.

Voices for Israel: Rev. Franklin Graham – News from Jerusalem

by Tom Brennan, There was a time in America when the Rev. Billy Graham stood at the side of every American President. The Rev. Graham had begun his ministry preaching a convincing, heart wrenching message of change and repentance at churches, tent meetings and stadiums filled with the curious, the questioners and the damned. Very few left the way they came in. The man just plain believed and could find the words to get you to do so too.

Magen David: Israel’s Flag and Anthem. Hope is not wishful thinking – News from Jerusalem

by Tom Brennan, Israel’s blue and with flag with the multi-pointed star in central position is instantly recognizable. What is the origin of this dramatic banner? The National anthem, Hatkiva, is translated as “Hope”. There is more than meets the eye or ear about these two symbols of a nation reborn after 2 millennia of dispersal to the world of nations,

How Christian supporters of Israel should view Israel’s coming elections – News from Jerusalem

by Tom Brennan, One of the most encouraging of recent news stories about Israel has been the well-received address by Prime Minister Netanyahu at the invitation of the United States Congress. The controversial negotiations by the Obama Administration with Iran over that nation’s nuclear energy and weapons program has aroused suspicions of many and alarm in most Middle Eastern nations.

Israel: religious and cultural liberty – News from Jerusalem

by Tom Brennan, The ongoing atrocities of the expanding Caliphate in Iraq and Syria (and now Libya, Yemen and other nations being threatened), include obliterating the nation’s past. In Afghanistan some years ago the Taliban destroyed several monumental sculptures of Buddha which dated back to the pre-Islamic time. The world fretted in frustration as the millennia old sculptures fell.

Hope springs eternal. Thank you Mr. Netanyahu – News from Jerusalem

by Tom Brennan, The other day was a truly historic occasion. In times of crisis real leaders inspire and tell us hard truths. A leader is someone whose integrity and character enable him to speak hard truths, call others to do things they would rather avoid and stand firm in face of overwhelming opposition and lies. A historic hall filled with men and women who bear responsibility for their Nation and a leader they respected met for a session of facts and truth.

Welcome to our Congress Prime Minister Netanyahu – News from Jerusalem

by Tom Brennan, Behind the wall of words: real Americans support Israel, even when some in their Government do not. Welcome Mr. Netanyahu. It's a morale booster for us to have a real leader and a hero come to speak to our Congress and tell us what is really going on in your region. All we hear from our President is distortions, distractions and things so totally devoid of reality that they are absurd to even the most imaginative individual. We are still disturbed by the grotesque solution to the recruiting by The Caliphate of foreign and sectarian fighters: a jobs program and business opportunities.

Supporting Israel: it's Biblical – News from Jerusalem

by Tom Brennan, “Jesus loves me, this I know, for the Bible tells me so”. And so it is with Israel. As a Messianic my attachment to Israel is fully based in Torah and the Biblical centering on this small giant place. Abraham was told to leave and take his family, servants and flocks and go to an land which he would be shown. Abraham lived in Ur, a sizable empire at the north of the Fertile Crescent. Egypt and Chaldea were ascending to stature and living in Ur was an advantage. Abraham's family had wealth and influence and he had a choice to make: leave the empire and its gods and wealth and go to a place he had scarcely heard of, or stay and inherit the position and wealth of Terah, his father. He chose to obey the word of a G-d he had just come to know in a land of many gods. The rest is history, literally.
