Passover 2023

Rocket attacks on Three Fronts: from Gaza, Lebanon and Syria

​

During the last week rockets were fired into Israel, a sovereign country, from Gaza, Lebanon and Syria. In addition there were terrorist attacks in the Jordan valley and Tel Aviv. Every week in Tel Aviv, half a million Israelis protest the prime minister's reforms and demand that he resigns.

 

Many Israeli children have been alienated against their father (who pays child maintenance) by the mother and there are no laws to stop this. In the past there were protests by fathers in Tel Aviv but it came to nothing. There is risk of civil war breaking out. Please pray for the safety of the nation of Israel (God's ancient people).

​

Durante a última semana, foguetes foram disparados de Gaza, Líbano e Síria contra Israel, um país soberano.
Além disso, houve ataques terroristas no vale do Jordão e em Tel Aviv. Nas ultimas semanas,  em Tel Aviv, meio milhão de israelenses estao protestando contra as reformas do primeiro-ministro e exigindo sua renúncia.

Por favor, ore pela segurança da nação de Israel (o antigo povo de Deus).

Passover 2023 Message

 

Rabbi Yeshua the Jewish Messiah was not crucified at Easter. The Canaanites worshipped Ashtoret and the gentiles gave their gods thanks for the harvest according to their pagan calendar.  God gave the Hebrews His Hebrew calendar which is lunar based. He instructed them to keep Passover on the 14th of Nissan. It was on this day that Yeshua was crucified.

Matthew‬ ‭27‬:‭33‬-‭35‬ “And when they had come to a place called Golgotha, that is to say, Place of a Skull, they gave Him sour wine mingled with gall to drink. But when He had tasted it, He would not drink. Then they crucified Him, and divided His garments, casting lots, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet: “They divided My garments among them, And for My clothing they cast lots.””

​

Rabi Yeshua, o Messias judeu, não foi crucificado na Páscoa. Os cananeus adoravam Ashtoret e os gentios davam graças a seus deuses pela colheita de acordo com seu calendário pagão. Deus deu aos judeus Seu calendário hebraico, que é lunar. Ele os instruiu a guardar a Páscoa no dia 14 de Nissan. Foi neste dia que Yeshua foi crucificado.

Mateus 27:33-35 "E, chegando a um lugar chamado Gólgota, isto é, lugar da Caveira, deram-lhe a beber vinagre misturado com fel. provou, não quis beber. Então o crucificaram, e repartiram as suas vestes, lançando sortes, para que se cumprisse o que fora dito pelo profeta: Repartiram entre si as minhas vestes, e sobre as minhas vestes lançaram sortes. "

Jewish Israelis forced into exile from Israel and lose their families

Have you heard of this?

There are Jews who gave up their lives and homes is the diaspora to come home to Israel and make a new start, only to be forced into permanent exile and start over again in the country they came from.

How can this be? 

Jews face enormous challenges of finding work, language and adjusting to life and culture in Israel. Rent and the cost of living is significantly higher than in most countries Jewish immigrants come from. This can strain marriages to the point of breaking.

Child welfare in many regions is dominated by secular feminists who have a biased agenda and think they are doing women a favour by encouraging them to divorce and claim child maintenance. Under Israeli law child support is higher than in many other countries. The laws are very outdated and were written in a time that few women worked. The Israeli Knesset gives these outdated laws little attention for reform because they meet frequently for emergency security meetings because of foreign enemies.

Many Jewish immigrants don’t have family in Israel beyond their household and when an immigrant who is still learning Hebrew and working a minimal wage job as he is still integrating into Israeli society, is forced to pay high child support for several children, he cannot pay his own rent as well. He has no family to live with and has no option but to flee the State of Israel and return to the country of his birth.

His children will grow up in poverty and go to school hungry without a father figure in the home. Usually their mother puts the blame on the father and the children are enticed into drugs and prostitution because of their dire situation. Research has shown that children alienated from their father are not able to keep a job and succeed in marriage.

Those children will have children who will grow up in poverty and live off welfare and the cycle repeats.

I had the opportunity to listen many times to a lawyer who practiced for more than 35 years in Israel who had South American clients as she grew up in Argentina and could speak Spanish. She told me many such stories. It is very sad to hear what happens to the children and the father living in exile having lost his family. Due to the exile, he cannot get his divorce recognised outside of the State of Israel and cannot remarry and usually commits adultery as a result.

The mother can remarry as she is living in Israel and is not in exile.

Many such fathers cannot afford legal representation and their story is not told.

Please pray for these families.
