A Prophecy 45 Years in the Making

A Prophecy 45 Years in the Making

I first met Benjamin Netanyahu on July 4, 1980. He was grieving the loss of his hero, his older brother Jonathan on the anniversary of his death and dealing with enormous pain. “Yoni” Netanyahu died leading the raid that rescued more than 100 Israeli passengers from a hijacked plane in Uganda. Even many people who know the story do not realize that Jonathan took his younger brothers’ place in Sayaret Matkal, Israel’s elite special forces unit so that Benjamin could go to America to continue his education.

His father Benzion Netanyahu answered the door when I knocked and invited me inside. One of the things I said to Benjamin Netanyahu that day in his family home was this: “David loved Jonathan. You loved your brother Jonathan. Out of the ashes of your despair will come strength from God and you will be the Prime Minister of Israel. You will lead your nation in its greatest crisis.” He was 28 years old and had no plans or desire to go into politics. His father apologized to him in Hebrew (not knowing that my mother was Jewish and I would understand what he said) for inviting a “moron” into their home. But God was at work.

The next day I met with Prime Minister Begin. I had previously met with him on June 30, my birthday. That day he asked why I had come, and I said, “I don’t know, but I know God sent me.” He said, “When God tells you why, come back and tell me.” That day I told him the prophecy I had given to Benjamin and asked Mr. Begin to give him a position in the government, which he did. And just as the Spirit of God spoke through me, Benjamin Netanyahu did become Prime Minister of Israel—the longest serving prime ministry in the history of the nation. And there is no question that today is the hour of Israel’s gravest crisis. Every friend of God’s Chosen People needs to be actively praying for them in these difficult days and speaking out on their behalf. The crisis is not over, and we must not be silent.

Honoring a True Friend of Israel

Honoring a True Friend of Israel

US Ambassador, Mike Huckabee

It was our honor and privilege to host the official welcome event for Ambassador Mike Huckabee as he begins his work in Israel.  His strong commitment to supporting the Jewish people is well known, and he has wasted no time in publicly standing with Israel in this time of crisis.  It is a blessing and an answer to prayer to have this good and godly man in this vital position in a time of prophetic crisis.

We have welcomed Governor Huckabee to your Friends of Zion Center before, and now we were able to honor Ambassador Huckabee–a true Friend of Zion.

Max Lucado, Pastor, Oak Hills Church

“I asked the Lord today to give you good gifts; gifts of wisdom, gifts of stamina, the gift of discernment and the gift of faith.  May the Lord bless you.  May He keep you.  May He stabilize you.  May He energize you.  All the very best.”

Robert Jeffress, Pastor, First Baptist Church Dallas

“You understand perhaps better than anyone that Israel is the only nation in the world uniquely created by God, for the glory of God, with a promise of endurance by God.”

Clint Pressley, President, Southern Baptist Convention

“I want you to know that we are thankful for your leadership, and we’re thankful for all that you stand for.  We will be praying for you and thanking God that He’s going to use you in such great ways in this new position.  Congratulations and God bless you.”

What Is Your Angel Doing Right Now?

What Is Your Angel Doing Right Now?


A number of years ago on my birthday, a terrorist attempted to kill me. I am certain that had the angels of the Lord not protected me, he would have succeeded. He had already killed two people, a state trooper and a Jewish pawn shop owner. When he was finally caught, he had my address and my unlisted phone number on the front seat of his car. When I was informed of his arrest, a spirit of fear hit me.

When I went to the Lord in prayer, God spoke to me to confront that spirit. God gave me an assignment to go to what was then the most dangerous place on the planet, Lebanon. I had the opportunity to minister to Palestinians who hated Jews. I brought them food and medicine. I was warned by Israeli intelligence not to go because of a terrorist attack.

I took a trunk full of Gideon bibles to give to the U.S. Marines who were stationed in Beirut. The next morning, I heard the explosion as a Hezbollah terrorist blew up the Marine barracks and killed more than 240 of them. I was driving a rented car with Israeli license plates in the middle of a war zone. In trying to get out of the country and back to Israel, I got lost. I ended up turned around and headed toward Damascus.

We ran out of gas, and the two other members of my team said, “We’re dead!” I said, “No we’re not…you’re still talking.” A young Arab who looked to be around 18 or 19 stuck his head in the window of the car. My first thought was, “He’s going to shoot us.” He smiled and held up a can of gasoline. After he put it in the car, he pointed at the door lock. I unlocked the door, and he got in.

For 32 minutes, he never said a single word. He pointed to where we needed to go. Just as we arrived at the border, he put his hand up. We stopped the car, and he got out. The colonel at the border checkpoint told me he had informed the Prime Minister’s office that my team and I had been killed in Lebanon. They thought there was no way I could survive. He said, “How did you make it?” I started to point toward our guide, but he was gone. I believe it was an angel of the Lord who delivered us from death that day. We need our angels to be active because we are part of a crucial and mighty spiritual battle for the future of Israel and our world.

Why Our Support for Israel Matters

Why Our Support for Israel Matters

A recent survey showed a majority of young people in America—54% in one survey—favor abolishing Israel and giving all the land to Hamas.

Only nine countries voted with Israel at the United Nations against the resolution to move forward with Palestinian statehood.  Imagine much of the Holy City, including the most sacred sites of both Christianity and Judaism, under control of radical Islamists.  The Palestinians demand Jerusalem as their capital, and that is what most of the world just voted to support.

The International Criminal Court prosecutor is seeking arrest warrants against Prime Minister Netanyahu and other Israeli leaders on the false charge of genocide and war crimes. He is equating Israel’s defense of itself and its people with the Hamas terrorists who attacked them.

The charges are completely false.  Israel is not starving the people in Gaza.  They have put in over half a million tons of food and medicine.  Food prices in Gaza have actually declined!  That’s not what happens when people are starving.

The sad truth is that 80% of the Palestinians in Judea and Samaria (the so-called West Bank) support the October 7 attack.  If they are given a state, it will reward the evil of terrorism and ensure further attacks on innocent Jewish people.  Rewarding terrorism will never bring peace—only more war and bloodshed in the future.

The Jewish people are more alone than they have been at any time since the Holocaust.  The United States is foolishly turning its back on Israel.  The Biden Administration even held up arms shipments vital to Israel’s struggle to survive.

While I was in Israel on my most recent trip, family members of the hostages wept in my arms. They were saying, “We love America.  Why is America turning her back on us and siding with our enemies?”

What America is doing right now is sending a message —not just to Hamas but to terrorists around the world— that we will not stand firm against them.  Our weakness is encouraging them to strike—not just at Israel, but here in our own country.  Just 19 radical Islamist terrorists shook our country on 9/11, and we must stop this evil before it happens again.

This turn away from Israel will bring a Genesis 12:3 curse on America like nothing we have experienced before.  I don’t want to see that happen. I don’t want the country where my children and grandchildren live to fall under God’s curse.

And I’m writing to you today because America’s support of Israel is crumbling as never before. As the war has gone on and the liberal media lies spread—blaming Israel for the murder of innocent Jewish people—more and more people are speaking out publicly against America standing with Israel.

When David walked into the Valley of Elah to face Goliath he asked, “Is there not a cause?”  Today God has given us the great cause of defending and blessing His Chosen People.  Your generous gift for the Jerusalem Prayer Team is your declaration that you have heard God’s voice and are responding. Please let me hear from you right away so that this vital outreach can continue.  God bless you.

Practice the Presence of God

Practice the Presence of God


In Old Testament times in the Tabernacle and later the Temple, the ark of the covenant was kept in a special place, walled off from view by a thick veil. The ark symbolized the presence of God among His people, and no one was allowed to come before it except for the high priest on the Day of Atonement. That all changed with Jesus. When He was crucified, the veil in the Temple was ripped in half from the top to the bottom.

Jesus wants us to come through the veil and into His presence. He wants us to be with Him, to live with Him, to breathe His very Spirit. In Him, we live and move and have our being. He wants to order our steps so that every fiery dart of the Enemy will be deflected. He wants us walking in His blood trail so that the demonic hounds of hell cannot sniff us out to destroy us.

It’s time to admit that the Christ-life manifested truly in us cannot be realized by mere religious tradition, no manner how sincere, until we acknowledge that we are in a state of rebellion against the King and are headed full speed away from Him. We will see clearly that religion has become integrated into our secular society and has been digested to the degree that the values the last generation held are disregarded as obsolete.

We must confess that our society has redefined, reduced, and repackaged our Christian values and filtered them back to the church, watered down, neutered, and lifeless—leaving Christians in a state of passivity, void of the desire to sacrifice and suffer for Christ, lacking holiness and passion. Substituting book-of-Acts faith for religious flattery in God’s eyes is packaged poison: it looks extremely good externally, but it will kill you if you swallow it. Without a holy fear of God burning in our bones, we are left with dull senses for the person of Jesus Christ and tone-deafness to the voice of the Holy Spirit.

God is waiting for you to come through the opened veil into His presence; to go beyond so the world will truly know you have been with Jesus. The Father is listening for the heartbeat of Christ in you. When He hears it, all heaven will be authorized to move on your behalf. I urge you to enter into His presence through the veil today.
