The Jerusalem Prayer List – March 13, 2024

The Jerusalem Prayer List – March 13th, 2024

By Joseph Shulam


True Christians 

Sound the Alarm!

There is always the now and then!


There is always the now and then!

There is always the shortsightedness and the visionary for the prophetic!

There is always the here and there!

There is always the urgent and the wise!

There is always the I and thou!


Because of special circumstances, as you will understand from reading this prayer list, I will not be dealing with the Torah and Prophets portion this week! Yudah Bachana is doing this very well, and this week, you will enjoy his teaching. The Lord willing, I will return to do the Torah and Prophets' portions in the future.


As more or less normal human beings, we are usually shortsighted. We almost always deal with what is urgent now and must remember to prepare for the shadow peeking around the corner!


European Jews, for the most part, especially in Germany and Western Europe, we're a happy bunch! They had beautiful synagogues and businesses in the center of the German cities. They were concerned with where to go for vacation during Easter Holidays:


 In the original A.I. translation:

Der Ehemann sagte: „Meine liebe Liebe, ich würde so gerne an die französische Riviera fahren.“ Die Frau sagte: „O nein, Schatz, ich hasse es, auf dem Sand zu laufen.“ Ich fahre lieber nach Baden Baden. Es ist viel näher und billiger.[1]

In my personal English:

“The husband said, o’ my dear love, I would love to go to the French Riviera for vacation!  The wife said O no dear I hate walking on the sand.  I would rather go to Baden Baden.  It is much closer and cheaper.”


In general, the European population didn't see the future and where it was leading, and neither did the government nor the politicians in the United States! Why not? The reason is horrible nearsightedness! 


 Sunday, March 11, 2024, I heard a wonderful message from a young preacher about the nearsightedness of today's culture and the church!  


We also had a board meeting on Zoom with the board members of Netivyah USA // International. The question was why Barry, my son, and I decided to change the name from Netivyah USA to Netivyah International. It would have been much wiser on our part to have had the board meeting before we decided to change the name to Netivyah International. But, with God's grace and a good, long, loving relationship, all went well. 


It went well with the board members, and I believe also with our dear and loving brother in leadership in Israel.



It is of extreme importance for our partner Netivyah Bible Instruction Ministry in Israel to concentrate on what is awaiting all of Israel's societies after this horrible and cruel and dangerous war in Gaza and the Lebanese border in the north against the harassment of shooting of many dozens of deadly rockets against peaceful civilian and some military installations. 


All Israel has been thinking about since October 7, 2023, is the "here and now!" is true from the top down, from the Prime Minister to the garbage collectors. (Sorry, I am wrong! Garbage collectors, at least where we live, are 99% Palestinian Arabs. They are more likely thinking about what kind of future they will have after the war in Gaza and with the Hezbollah in the north! )


Here are some essential things for all of us to remember! The Bible is not a regular history book. It is not a book with a message for only the here and now! Already in the very first chapters, there are prophecies dealing with humanity's future. 


The future of humanity, of the "me and you," is based on our relationship on a double axis, the "I and Thou!" On purpose, I am not using the simple English form, "Me and you!" The reason is in a book titled "I and Thou!" The book is important to me because Martin Buber, a great man of God, wrote it! I read the book several times before grasping the importance of having an orderly and constant relationship with the Almighty Creator of the heavens and the Earth. 


 I capitalized the word "Earth" in the previous sentence but didn't capitalize heaven. Why did I not capitalize the word, Heaven? Because now I am not in Heaven; I am down here on this earth, the very shortsighted earth, the very selfish earth, the very amoral earth. Heaven can wait! I do hope it does wait because last week, it was discovered that I have four cancers in my body: pancreatic, lung, spleen, and stomach. So, yes, I hope heaven can wait, and I hope that when you read this message, you will say a special prayer for me and Marcia, my wife's health.   But this is all the now, and it is always easier to deal with the now, the urgent and the pressing, and all those who push you and pressure you to get things done right now! 


When you look at the Bible as a book, do some statistics about how much it deals with the now and how much is prophetic and dearth with the "Then!" How much is dealing with the things connected to the Jews and Israel, the land and the people? You find out a simple and almost totally ignored truth. If we look at the Bible by volume, legal literature is between 20 – 25%. Prophetic literature is 30-35%. If we glean from the historical literature the prophetic, we end with nearly 40% of the Bible dealing with our future.  


One last general comment before we get into the reason why Netivyah USA decided to change the name from Netivyah USA to Netivyah International and why it is so crucial for you dear brothers and sisters around the whole world to stand with Netivyah both in the local work in Israel, especially Jerusalem, and also stand in support of Netivyah International. We are one in the vision and the present work of feeding the poor and blessing the young disciples of Yeshua in Israel by helping many. However, we need more to go to universities and study and improve and grow both spiritually and professionally. This aspect of Netivyah Israel's work is looking toward the community's future and the message that our young generation will have for the future of Israel and the disciples of Yeshua in the land of Israel.  


On the other hand, there is Netivyah International. What prompted me to sit in the lobby of the Oncological Clinic in Lebanon, Tennessee, USA, to change the name of Netivyah USA to Netivyah International? 


On Thursday, this magazine was sitting on the small table next to my seat while I was waiting to be called for the injection of radioactive Fluoride and other radioactive materials into my body. Sunday, I was planning to attend a church in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, full of friends and supporters of the Netivyah USA. A church full of good people and dear brothers! I didn't expect it at all, but the young preacher spoke of shortsightedness and its general dangers for society and humans. Right here in Middle Tennessee, just before getting the PET CT pal, I was surrounded by the bloody red Star of David. It just hit me in the face, in the heart, and in every other important part of my soul. 




This is the front cover of TIME Magazine from March 11, 2024.

This is the opening statement of the article.

“Why won’t antisemitism die, or at least die down? In the months following Hamas’ attack on Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, antisemitic incidents increased substantially. The Anti-Defamation League, which keeps track, says they tripled in the U.S. over the previous year, although its criteria also changed to include anti-Zionism. But from 2019 to 2022, the amount of people with highly antisemitic attitudes in the U.S. had nearly doubled. In Europe, Human Rights Watch warned in 2019 of rise in antisemitism, prompting the European Union to adopt a strategic plan for fighting it two years later.”



Here and Now! Israel now as a parable for the near future for all disciples of the Messiah worldwide, not only a reality.


No one can say definitively why the pre–Gaza War surge of pure satanic evil and fury from hell happened when it did. [2] The salience of even a presidential candidate running just weeks before the election could not reprimand and condemn such groups like the neo-Nazis who marched in Charlottesville, Va. in 2017. These actions probably played a role, as did the influence of figures like the troubled rapper turned designer Kanye West, who, being Afro-American, forgot who stood with Martin Luther King in 1965 on the front line of the famous Selma, Alabama march standing and fighting Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel and Rabbi Maurice Eisendrath, and Pete Seger, Bob Dylan, and others less prominent but important Jewish figures. The battle of Dr. Martin Luther King was not only against racial discrimination of black brothers, it was for the end of Racism and racial discrimination in America and in the world, including against antisemitism. These are just a few prominent Jewish leaders in America who stood side by side and fought for freedom and equality.  


This character spoke out of his mouth against the Jews, things that if someone spoke against our black brothers and good citizens of the USA, he would be ostracized and rejected from ever getting on a public stage, and no one would employ him even as a dog catcher. But people again are shortsighted and think only sectorial and selfish, and that is not only our black brothers, but it is the majority of society in the whole world. 


Historically, antisemitism has been a side effect of populism, which traffics in us and promotes false and harmful stereotypes, not only to the objects of this hate but also harms the very souls and lives of those who promote Racism and indorse it and ignore it and keep silent on their church pulpits. 


I mentioned the church in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, I attended with all my family last Sunday. 


In 1972, the first time I visited Murfreesboro in that same church after the services, the wealthiest man in the city called me and invited me to his house. I was happy to go, but when I arrived, and my wife and I stepped out of the car, he opened the door, came out with a checkbook and a pen in his hand, and said. "You Jew, I will write you a check for the sum of money that you will mention if you promise that you will never come back to this city!" 


Today, dear brothers and sisters, the media is in our pockets, hands, homes, offices, and everywhere. The horrible virus of antisemitism spreads like wildfire just by a push of the finger. The government is helpless against it because the politicians are married to their constituency, and the pastors are afraid to say anything about it because some of their members (like in Murfreesboro, TN, in 1972) are members of the Klan. 


Eleven worshipers were killed at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh in 2018 by a single shooter enraged at Jews just because they are Jews. Not because he knew any of them personally or had a grievance with any of them, but because, going to church all his life, he never heard this most straightforward biblical message:  


Moses and Aaron, King David, Mary, the mother of Jesus, Peter, Paul, Andrew, Matthew, and Alfius, all the 12 apostles, and Jesus himself were good kosher Jews.


 When Jesus was eight days old, his mother took him to be circumcised by a Jewish Rabbi with a very sharp knife and a steady hand. 


Netivyah USA changed its name to Netivyah International because the problem is worldwide.


The carriers of this horrible virus are good people, mainly Christians. Still, they had damaged the souls of millions and millions of Christians because their church had kept silent and ignored when Jews were persecuted and when African American brothers, Latino brothers, or Native Americans  were discriminated against and persecuted and hung on the hanging trees of the so-called 'wild west.' 


Many go to church regularly and give their money to the church. They are happy to be shortsighted and never think they need to look forward, take the Word of God seriously, and consider what is happening around them, never considering words and ideas that damage the Jews or those who are a little different because they speak with an accent.  



I confess that the articles in TIME magazine dated March 11, 2024, triggered me to think about antisemitism.


 Who has to fight against this super virus of humanity that has existed for thousands of years? From Pharaoh to Amalek to Babylon to Persia (Iran of today) to the Greeks, Romans, the Catholic Church, the Nazis in Germany and Europe, until now Iran (Persia) and Hamas! 


First of all, the answer to this question must be that every sensible and moral human has to fight against any person or nation who wants to discriminate against and annihilate any tribe, nation, or fellow human being. History has shown that if barbarism, Racism, and discrimination are allowed to exist, it will be like a virus, a plague, a tsunami of hate and destruction for more than the original object of that barbarism. 



What will happen when Jesus returns to this Earth to reign? According to his promises and the promises of Isaiah, Zechariah, Malachi, and the apostles of Jesus, we have the full description, especially the vivid and picturesque descriptions in John's Revelation.


 There will be a major gathering of the disciples of Jesus (Yeshua in Hebrew) all dressed in white, surrounding the great throne of God and Yeshua (Jesus in Greek), the circumspect and circumcised Jew, sitting on the throne with the crown on his head. [3]  


The blood from that crown is long dried up and washed, but the memory is deeply ingrained in His head. This vast crowd will be singing, not Amazing Grace, a song I love immensely and learned by heart as a 5th-grade student in elementary school called "Geulim" in Jerusalem. ("Geulim" in Hebrew is taken from Isaiah chapter 51, and it means "The Redeemed." ) 


That great gathering will sing the SONG of MOSES and the Song of the Lamb. On this occasion, where will the antisemites and racists be? 


If they are dressed in white and in that august crowd, will they be singing the song of Moses? Will they be sung by this august crowd around the throne that Our Lord will be occupying forever? Here are the words from Exodus chapter 15: 


 “Your right hand, O LORD, has become glorious in power; Your right hand, O LORD, has dashed the enemy in pieces. And in the greatness of Your excellence, you have overthrown those who rose against You; You sent forth Your wrath; It consumed them like stubble.  And with the blast of Your nostrils the waters were gathered together; The floods stood upright like a heap; The depths congealed in the heart of the sea. The enemy said, “I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil; My desire shall be satisfied on them. I will draw my sword, My hand shall destroy them.’ You blew with Your wind; The sea covered them; They sank like lead in the mighty waters. “Who is like You, O LORD, among the gods? Who is like You, glorious in holiness, Fearful in praises, doing wonders? You stretched out Your right hand; The earth swallowed them.  You in Your mercy have led forth the people whom You have redeemed; You have guided them in Your strength To Your holy habitation. “The people will hear and be afraid; Sorrow will take hold of the inhabitants of Philistia.  Then the chiefs of Edom will be dismayed; The mighty men of Moab, Trembling will take hold of them; All the inhabitants of Canaan will melt away.  Fear and dread will fall on them; By the greatness of Your arm, They will be as still as a stone, Till Your people pass over, O LORD, Till the people pass over Whom You have purchased. You will bring them in and plant them in the mountain of Your inheritance, In the place, O LORD, which You have made For Your own dwelling, The sanctuary, O LORD, which Your hands have established.  “The LORD shall reign forever and ever.”  For the horses of Pharaoh went with his chariots and his horsemen into the sea, and the LORD brought back the waters of the sea upon them. But the children of Israel went on dry land in the midst of the sea.”  (Exodus 15:6-19 NKJV)


Please, dear brothers, notice several notes in this Song of Moses: Israel will win against its enemies, Egypt and Philistia. (Philistia today includes both Gaza and Judea and Samaria.) 


I don't know how this will happen, but I do know that every promise of God will be fulfilled, and many have and are being fulfilled as you read this Prayer List now! One thing I know for sure! God, the creator of the world, has one people from one blood, and all are his children, including Arabs and Jews, Black and White, Yellow, Red, and even rainbow colors. God is always just and righteous in all His ways. Whatever happens in fulfilling these promises will happen in righteousness and justice and be wrapped in God's love and in the sacrifice of Yeshua (Jesus), who brought grace, unity, and peace to all nations. I don't know if even the Apostle John, who wrote these words, knew how and when these events would happen. But I am sure that these words of John are true, and they will happen, just as I am sure that this Earth and all that is on it and in it was created by the Almighty ONE of Israel. In the same way, I am sure that there will also be a New Heaven and a New Earth. [4]  Please note that in Isaiah 66:22, the text includes a clear statement of the prophet, a quotation from God's Holy Spirit that the seed of Israel will remain. Just look at the last line of the song of Moses. 


"But the children of Israel went on dry land in the midst of the sea!" 



The first point is that no other nation has been constantly threatened by annihilation for so long in its history, and it didn't start with Christian Antisemitism in the late 2nd century A.D. It started from the very birth of Isaac, the son of Sarah and Abraham, the progenitors of the Hebrew Nation, long before its name became Israel.  


The birth of Antisemitism started from the birth of Ishmael and Isaac! 


Here are some quick biblical facts. God was displeased with the rebellious developments in humanity. After Noah's flood, the human race changed and from fear united into a totalitarian, organized, horribly evil, but intelligent group of people. The fear of the God that caused the flood was so deeply etched into the consciousness of these people that it motivated them to unite, so to speak, give them defense protection from the God who created the world and all that is in it, including the humans. 


The unity produced a plan to defend themselves from God by uniting and building a tower that would reach heaven. I realize that the dreams of the generation after the flood were to be free of the fear of extinction and to say to God, "NO! We don't have to obey you, and we are free moral agents who can do anything and whatever they fancy at any time and everywhere." This occasion of the building of the Tower of Babel seems like a poorly written myth. Still, historical and geographical circumstantial evidence exists in Babylon in the archaeological remains of the Ziggurats and other remains. 


Dear Brothers and sisters around the world! No one can resist the evil of antisemitism because now it is spreading against Israel and the Jews around the world. It is spreading in places that ought to be the fortresses of knowledge and righteousness and progress, the universities and colleges around the whole Western world, including both North and South America and Western Europe. 


 It is a curious thing that I have never heard about any prominent Arab and Muslim countries having riots and violence in their universities. The reason, in my opinion, is simple: today, now, it has Israel and the Jewish people in the sights of their hate and weapons. Then, it will be turned against the Christians, who are even more hated by Islam than the Jews. As one of the leaders of the Palestinians said some years ago: 



 Now we start with the Sabbath, and Then we will go to Sunday. 


This statement made by Arafat implies that they will destroy the Jews first and then the Christians. 


We in Netivyah International have it as a divine obligation to speak to the churches worldwide and ensure that they know that to hate any nation or race is a sin, but to hate and persecute the Jewish people is a double sin because our Lord and Savior is Yeshua (Jesus) the King of the Jews. Because He is sitting on the right side of the Throne of God the Father, it is the obligation and duty of Christians who worship Jesus (Yeshua) and depend for their eternal salvation on The King of the Jews.  



Here is a simple outline of what we plan to do and what we have been doing. We will now start with more vigorous activities to fight and resist, educate and train, and improve the relationship between Jews and Christians worldwide. Our actions will be in the following areas! 


  1. Media – both written and in video and publications.

  2. Visiting churches and speaking to their hearts from God's word to join the battle against the discrimination of any race, but now especially the Jewish people and the land of Israel.

  3. Organizing special seminars for Christians to educate them to identify antisemitic language and teaching and propaganda that sometimes is hidden and crouched in Christian language and the hate for Israel and the Jewish people is given a theological false teaching that is taken right out of the language of the Catholic Churches hate of the Old Testament and the Jews.  



We need from you, dear brothers and sisters, support to be able to do this vital work and battle against those who hate Jews and hate Israel!

  1. We need your prayers constantly. Without God's help, Netivyah International will have more difficulty launching a worldwide campaign and mobilizing brothers and sisters all around the world to take the healing message into the churches and educate our brothers and sisters from the Word of God that loving Israel and the Jewish people (not at the expense of our love for the Arab people) is a fundamental Biblical axiom! 

  2. We are going to need a substantial amount of money. Yes, this is a new thing that I have not done before. I have not openly and dramatically asked for funds or begged. Now, based on the dozens of times that God did things for the sake of David, even long after David was dead and buried in Jerusalem, in all these texts in the Bible written way after David's death, the meaning of David is the Messiah. But here is the clincher. 


“For Zion’s sake I will not hold My peace, and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest, Until her righteousness goes forth as brightness, and her salvation as a lamp that burns.

 The Gentiles shall see your righteousness, And all kings your glory. You shall be called by a new name, Which the mouth of the LORD will name.   You shall also be a crown of glory In the hand of the LORD, And a royal diadem in the hand of your God.  You shall no longer be termed Forsaken, nor shall your land any more be termed Desolate; But you shall be called Hephzibah, and your land Beulah; For the LORD delights in you, and your land shall be married.”  (Isaiah 62:1-4 NKJV)



Please help and actively participate in this war, which may be the last major spiritual worldwide war for Yeshua's sake and the Kingdom of Heaven!


 All are welcome to join this war in the following ways! 


  1. Contribute financially to enable Netivyah International to fight this battle.

  2. Join forces physically with us and become an ambassador of love and peace in Yeshua's name in your church, community, country, or city. We will help you with material and presentations in video and text.

  3. Share this war and battle with other brothers and sisters in your fellowship. Standfirst by prayer in closed circles at home in your fellowship or church and special small groups. ( We will help with material to share )


Let us start with these practical steps and grow as the opportunities and needs arise!


To request written or digital materials write to office@netivyahinternational.org




I will fly to Brazil for our international conference in a few days. The conference will be focused on the Anussim, the Jews who were forced to convert to Catholicism; if they practiced anything Jewish, like eating Kosher – they would be tried in the court of the Catholic Church and forced by torture to confess and then be burned, many times alive! 


Special prayer request for me and Marcia, my wife, personally: on March 18, 2024, I will be checking into the hospital here in Middle Tennessee for multiple biopsies where a special PET CT FDG has discovered Cancers. Please keep us in your prayers and help us continue doing the Work of The Lord and fight Anti Semitism.  


 Footnotes


[1] I am using the German language here because I can imagine in my mind and heart the upper-middle-class Jewish family with a substantial living condition in one of Germany's middle-class towns, seeing the storm of hate and discrimination that is already prevalent in Europe and thinking and speaking just like this what I have imagined.

[2] Although I can say that not a small majority of Israelis have a good idea why it happened, and that is an extremely selfish and destructive dismissive attitude of the highest echelon of Israel's military leadership and the leaders in our parliament who were fighting a battle clad with selfishness, ignoring the "then" and worked and dealing with the now. No one wore eyeglasses to see what was around the corner, including our illustrious Mossad. Just like Isaiah the prophet said: "From the sole of the foot even to the head, there is no soundness in it, but wounds and bruises and putrefying sores; They have not been closed or bound up nor soothed with ointment. Your country is desolate, your cities are burned with fire; Strangers devour your land in your presence; And it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers. So, the daughter of Zion is left as a booth in a vineyard, As a hut in a garden of cucumbers, As a besieged city." (Isaiah 1:6-8 NKJV)

[3] "Then I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvelous: seven angels having the seven last plagues, for in them the wrath of God is complete. And I saw something like a sea of glass mingled with fire, and those who have the victory over the beast, over his image and over his mark and over the number of his name, standing on the sea of glass, having harps of God. They sing the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying: "Great and marvelous are Your works, Lord God Almighty! Just and true are Your ways, O King of the saints! Who shall not fear You, O Lord, and glorify Your name? For You alone are holy. For all nations shall come and worship before You, For Your judgments have been manifested."  

(Revelation 15:1-4 NKJV)

 

[4] "For behold, I create new heavens and a new earth; And the former shall not be remembered or come to mind."

(Isaiah 65:17("For as the new heavens and the new earth Which I will make shall remain before Me," says the LORD, "So shall your descendants and your name remain.". (Isaiah 65:17, and 66:22 NKJV)

Your prayers for brothers and sisters you don't know personally are pure love and building of the Body of the Messiah. It is Agape Love since you are doing this without any selfish interests and casting a vote in Heaven for someone who is your brother. Still, you don't know them, and God looks at these prayers that are unselfish and genuine expressions of love and care for another link in the long chain of love and faith that binds us together even though we might not know each other in this world. 


When we all get to Heaven, it will be a joy to meet people we prayed for and sometimes even cried for. Brothers and sisters who are physically strangers but spiritually a part of the same body of Christ, I believe that one day we will have the privilege to sit together and share: "I remember praying for you to be healed!" "I remember praying for you to be safe when you were fighting in Gaza to free the hostages from the cruel hands of the terrorists of the Hamas in Gaza."


Continue earnest prayers for our war with Hamas to end soon and all the hostages to be returned safe and in one piece home to their loved ones!

Pray for our soldiers, especially for the soldiers we know and appreciate Emanuel, the son of Victor and Ayala, Amiel and Solomon Eze, Kiel Intrater, and any other children of Believers, and, of course, for all of the men and women serving this country.  


I hate that our boys, the men of our congregation, still serve in the Army. Most of them in reserves have to fight and use weapons and do war to protect the civilian population of Israel from terrorism driven by hate and blindness. 


 Please pray for the Middle East and for the world to see and understand what reality is in this part of the world. The land that provided for King David, the prophets, and Yeshua the Messiah want peace with our neighbors.


But our neighbors don't want the hand that is stretched out in peace. They want to kill all the Jews and take the land, which is flourishing and a blessing for all the world, and make it a dump like their own place in Gaza and the Arab countries.

The South shall possess the mountains of Esau, And the Lowland shall possess Philistia. They shall possess the fields of Ephraim And the fields of Samaria. Benjamin shall possess Gilead. And the captives of this host of the children of Israel Shall possess the land of the Canaanites As far as Zarephath. The captives of Jerusalem who are in Sepharad Shall possess the cities of the South.
