FlyDubai Attack Watch Asher Intrater on 10/1

MORAL COURAGE OR DIVINE INTERVENTION?

     What happened aboard FlyDubai flight FZ1073 could have ended in unimaginable tragedy. Instead, through extraordinary courage and intervention, the passengers made it safely home. Asher reflects on the dramatic events aboard FlyDubai Flight FZ1073 and the remarkable courage and intervention that prevented what could have been a terrible tragedy. here is also a larger strategic prayer point we don’t want to miss. This incident comes at a significant moment as Israel’s relationships with the UAE and Saudi Arabia continue to develop, and we have seen before how violence can threaten these growing relationships. Whatever the investigation ultimately reveals, please pray that this event would not create fear and division, but instead strengthen these strategic relationships, deepen cooperation, and become another testimony of God bringing good out of what could have ended in tragedy. We thank God that tragedy was prevented and so many lives were spared.

Arrows from Zion Summary of Prayer Points for Israeli Ministries
Prayer Requests & the Chronicles of the Remnant of Faith in Israel

Cookie Schwaeber-Issan in the Jerusalem Post Averted Flydubai tragedy showcases the bravery of the Israeli people | In All Israel News Are entertainers next on the chopping block?

Sally Shiff is a personal ministry within the HaMaayan congregation in Kfar Saba sends a Youtube video that show “it was not 1 miracle, but rather a number of miracles that constituted “the Miracle” of the FlyDubai” intervention by God on behalf of 174 mostly Israelis during the Feast of Tabernacles. God is showing great favor to Israel before the face of an unbelieving world. VIDEO here. While the world in unbelief says it was all planned by Israel , the Israelis on that plane believe in miracles, here is the video of them giving glory to God upon landing.

Avner & Rachel Boskey of David’s Tent, with David sharing Tabernacles —Egypt and the nations versus Jerusalem |Tabernacles is known as the worldwide feast when all the nations will come up to Jerusalem to worship Yeshua the Messiah of Israel. Zechariah 14:16 indeed proclaims this future prophetic day.   
     “. . . .In 1950 American folk-singer Ed McCurdy wrote a ‘peace anthem’, later recorded by Simon & Garfunkel, Joan Baez and Johnny Cash:
    Last night I had the strangest dream I ever dreamed before
    I dreamed the world had all agreed to put an end to war    I dreamed I saw a mighty room, and the room was filled with men
    And the paper they were signing said they’d never fight again
       And when the papers were all signed and a million copies made
       They all joined hands end bowed their heads and grateful prayers were prayed
       And the people in the streets below were dancing round and round
       While swords and gun and uniforms were scattered on the ground
The wish for peace is strong in every age. But when we look at history through YHVH’s eyes, we see that the Hebrew prophets spoke of the sobering realities of ‘war, wars and rumors of war’ all increasing at the end of the age….God’s sovereign plan involves breaking the strength of the world’s superpowers: “It will come about in that day that I will make Jerusalem a heavy stone for all the peoples; all who lift it will be severely injured” . . . .“And on that day, I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem” (Zechariah 12:9).
     “. . . .An international ‘October 7’ | Zechariah 14:1-2. . . .describes an international military conquest of Jerusalem carried out by a global consortium. Like Hamas’ demonic atrocities of October 7, 2023, this international attack will involve vicious murder, indiscriminate sexual violence, destruction of buildings and houses, and mass exile of half of Jerusalem’s Jewish population (similar to Hamas’ recent cruel taking of hostages).
     “. . . .The Hebrew army and the Twilight Zone | Zechariah 12-14 sketches out for us how YHVH will actively intervene on behalf of the Jewish people, strengthening them with a victorious warrior-anointing for the onset of battle. . . .At the height of the battle, Messiah Yeshua will personally return to David’s City as Warrior King, ruling over the nations from Jerusalem, the Jewish world capital.”
     Donna: I am obviously leaving out a lot of the details and the scripture verses, but you can read it in full online.

Reuven and MaryLou Doron of OneNewManToday. Read Reuven Doron’s 2021 article on the prophetic significance of Sukkot | Reuven sends two updates: In the sent on 10/1 God’s Mysteries Unfold, Reuven has put a small portion of the newsletter on his Facebook page and he does speak to the FlyDubai flight that unfolded over Saudi airspace. You know what that means – the Islamist suicide terror attacker meant to crash it into Saudi land – a message meant for Israel and Saudi Arabia to not normalize relations. As Reuven wrote, “This could have been an Israeli version of 911. Thank you for your prayers! You never know how your simple daily prayers for Israel can be translated into miraculous events by the hand of the Lord of Hosts.”
     Reuven also speaks to the growing isolation of Israel in the world of nations. For those who don’t believe how close we may actually be starting to go through the prophesied “last days” they only don’t know because they do not really believe how much of this can be seen only if we are watching with great care and compassion what is happening in Israel. I trust all of you on this mailing list are among those. It I time we sat up to alert. Once again, email Reuven to sign up for his newletter so you never miss the outstanding insights he has to offer.
On 9/24 The Last Generation | When will it be? In Our Lifetime? |”…The Word says that when “the Lord has built up Zion, (only then) He has appeared in His glory.” (v 16). The rebuilding of Zion speaks of the restoration of the children of Israel rebuilding our national life under fire, and returning back to our God in our own homeland. More than that, this Psalm tells us that the miracle of the rebuilding of Zion is intimately linked and undeniably connected to the appearance of God in the fullness of His glory upon the earth. …“This will be written for the generation to come; that a people yet to be created may praise the Lord.” (Psalm 102:18). The phrase “the generation to come” in the original Hebrew text reads “Le’dor A’cha’ron,” which literally means that these things were written “to the last generation!” ….Therefore, as incredible as it may sound, the Scripture clearly tells us that the generation that sees the restoration of the nation of Israel could very well also see the coming of God’s glory to earth. [There is much more in this newsletter, but to read it you will have to email Reuven to ask for it. I couldn’t find a copy online.

Arni & Yonit Klein of Emmaus Way are just back in from Uganda which they have been calling their second home as God has called them to invest in the Africa church. Arni writes: “…we sense there may be a need to for us reiterate the purpose of our investing as we are in Africa. The goal, the endpoint, is simply that God will have a dwelling place in Zion such that His Presence will remove the blindness from the eyes of all those in Israel who love the truth and long for His appearing. From the first days of our aliyah 34 years ago we have carried a burden for the lost seeking youth in the Land. To that end in 1994 we put together an evangelistic street presentation, wrote and published our testimony in Hebrew, and recorded an album of original Hebrew songs for seekers. Much to our surprise, God sovereignly stepped in and altered our course saying that there were things in the heavens and on the earth that needed to be shifted so that the message of salvation could be heard, received, and rightly applied. “Come and minister to me and I will prepare the way for the message.” Additionally, Scripture tells us that the removal of Israel’s blindness is connected to, if not contingent upon, the grafted-in nations coming to fullness. We understand that their fullness is to understand that their number-one priority is to come alongside Israel, bearing the burden of their calling to be and prepare a dwelling place for the Lord. We’ve been impressed with sufficient confirmation (see the link at the end of this letter) that God is calling for the Body of Messiah in Africa to align with His heart and play their ordained part in the removal of Israel’s partial blindness.
     DONNA: To include the explanation of the teaching seminars they are doing in Uganda would take more space than I have here, but I encourage you to email Arni and ask for the full newsletter version, or subscription. I can tell you they haverecorded these messages and are sharing in other nations. In fact Arni writes, “Given the excellent quality of the recorded messages and our inability to be in more than one place at a time, a group can watch it together and go through processing it as if it were all live. The same can be done on a Zoom format. Liz Rhodes, Emmaus Way’s US administrator, wants to help facilitate virtual seminar gatherings. Anyone interested in participating in such a format can contacting her directly at  EWay4US@gmail.com.
     Our next trip will be from October 30th to the first week in December. We already have three, possibly four, seminars scheduled as well as numerous ongoing private and group meetings with those that have been touched by the Lord along the way….Thankfully, as we’ve shared, our fixed expenses on the ground are covered. We however remain in need of continuing contributions to cover translating, printing, and the four yearly round-trip plane fares plus travel insurance for “papa arni and mama yonit.” If anyone would like to follow our African journey and pray for us on a day-to-day basis during the trips, if you send us your WhatsApp contact we will be glad to add you to the Africa Calling thread.
ALSO we have compiled the various events over the years that have led us to believe that what we think has come from God has truly come from God. Following is a link to a recording of some of these high points in our life. It’s on our home page as “God’s Confirmations”

Guy Cohen of the Harvest of Asher congregation in Acco sends out his weekly teachings in a subscription email you can sign up for on the website linked above. Guy is someone I have met several times over the two decades I have followed him. His humility and anointing has always been noticeable to me. Guy is native Israeli from a rabbinic family ministering in his own hometown. Over the years I have watched him mature into an even more richly anointed, humble man of God. I do greatly recommend signing up for his prayer letters and also following him online on Facebook where you can access some his weekly teachings. I’ve even re-published several of them on my blog – with his permission of course!

Avi & Chaya Mizrachi of Dugit Ministries wrote on 10/2 As we look back on the Feast of Tabernacles, our hearts are filled with gratitude. We had the special privilege of taking part in the ICEJ Feast of Tabernacles conference in Jerusalem, joining believers and leaders from around the world for a powerful time of prayer, worship and fellowship. For us, as Israeli Messianic believers, it was especially meaningful to stand in Jerusalem and pray for the nations. Yeshua said: “You will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” – Acts 1:8
     Avi also had the opportunity to share about the importance of praying for the peace of Jerusalem and continuing to stand in prayer for Israel. We do not take opportunities like this for granted. For many years, believers from around the world have prayed for Israel, supported Israel and faithfully stood with the Jewish people. What a blessing it was for us, as Israeli believers in Yeshua, to pray for the nations in return. We are deeply thankful to ICEJ for welcoming us and giving us the privilege of taking part in this special gathering.
     And as October 7 approaches next week, we ask you once again to stand with us in prayer for Israel.
      9/18 “This week, young Israelis from all over Israel came together to spend time worshiping the Lord, connecting with one another, and encouraging each other in their faith. We are so happy to launch this monthly gathering for young adults – an evening of worship, praise, pizza, and fellowship!  You may not realize just how significant this is. About 50 years ago, there were only a handful of young Israeli Jews who believed in Yeshua. They gathered in small groups, and because the believing community was so small, almost everyone knew each another.
     But today, things are different. Young believers come to congregations, events, conferences, and worship evenings – and they are constantly meeting someone new! What a beautiful reminder that the Good News of our Savior Yeshua is spreading throughout Israel. God is at work, and we are so thankful to witness it! Please continue to pray with us for the young generation in Israel – that they would come to know Yeshua personally, grow strong in their faith, and boldly share the Good News with those around them.  “Brothers and sisters, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for the Israelites is that they may be saved.” Romans 10:1

Eitan Shishkoff, Joel Jelski & Ruby Bishai of Fields of Wheat send in two report 9/20 Joel writes of the ministry “undergoing significant growth personally and as a team. Both Joel and Ruby were able to purchase homes in Katzrin where their Harvester’s ministry house is also located. Joel’s family in a small townhouse and single Ruby in an apartment. This is a huge step forward in both being able to put down roots when they are building a team and ministry center in the region. They have also added a new team member, Sammer, an Arab Israeli Christian leader from Nazareth. Ruby and Smmer have been working together for a few years and he has caught the vision Ruby has for establishing an Arab-speaking youth camp as Katzir is for Jewish Israelis. Also they added Nicole Prival at 27 year old who has volunteered in the Katzir camps over the years.  [The next Zoom prayer meeting is October 14th, 6pm Israel time. We will meet on zoom to share about the conference, to catch the heart behind it. You will get to meet Sammer, hear from Ruby, and pray with us for the gathering.]
     Then Ruby shared in a 10/2 prayer letter: “It is urgent that we invest in the next generation. That is why investing in the next generation of Arab believers matters so deeply to me. Our community has much to be proud of. We value education, and our young people have pursued opportunities their parents and grandparents could only have imagined. I’m grateful for that progress. Yet alongside those opportunities, I’ve seen a growing uncertainty about where we belong. Crime and insecurity in Arab towns weigh on families. Some feel disconnected from the Israel that has been their home, and doubtful that they can help shape its future. For an established professional with young children, the possibility of a safer, more stable life abroad can be hard to ignore. I understand why people leave. These are difficult decisions, often made out of love for their families. But their absence is felt deeply in a local church, and in the wider community—both Arab and Jewish. . . . And I want young Arab believers to see a future here that they are excited to help build. I believe Israel is the homeland of the Jewish people. I also know that my family and my community have deep roots in this land. This is our home too, and we have a responsibility to love our neighbors and contribute to its future.
     . . . . When Jewish people discover that I am an Arab Christian who believes in Yeshua, they often have questions. We speak in Hebrew, get to know one another, and assumptions begin to give way to a real conversation. Many times, that has opened a door for me to share my faith. I’m convinced that Arab believers have an irreplaceable contribution to make to the body of Messiah in Israel. We can help Christians around the world understand this land more personally, and we can bear witness to Yeshua among our Jewish neighbors through the relationships we build every day.
     I want the next generation to discover that calling for themselves. In two weeks, we are taking a step we have prayed about for years. On October 15–17, Fields of Wheat will hold our first conference for Arab Christian young adults. . . . Please pray for us in the days leading up to the conference, throughout October 15–17, and afterward as we continue walking with those who attend.      We plan to gather on Zoom for prayer the day before the conference (Wednesday, October 14) and will share those details with you soon.

Chaim Malespin of the Faithful Galilean & Aliyah Return Center send this VIDEO: A miracle story from the sky! Sukkot Miracle-Terror in the Sky Thwarted.
     Chaim wrote 9/18 about the Day of Atonement commanded by God in Leviticus 16:30-31was to be a day of cleansing for all of Israel. Written on 9/18 Chaim asked, “Please keep Israel in prayer this Yom Kippur, that as a nation we will draw closer to God. Not in outward practice, but from deep within our hearts. That our stony hearts would become soft, as is prophesied in Ezekiel 36:24-26.“Aliyah is part of the cleansing and redemption of Israel, as Ezekiel spoke about. All that we are doing together by helping the Jewish people come home and be established here has been prophesied by ancient prophets that have been read over and over again. And it is only in our day that we get to witness the unfolding of these ancient prophecies! How amazing is that? As we reflect on Yom Kippur and the incredible story God is unfolding before our eyes, we invite you to be part of it. Your giving helps us continue to serve the Jewish people, welcome them home, and help them become established in the land God promised to their fathers.”

Dani & LuAnne Sayag of the Carmel Congregation write “During this season, we also want to express our heartfelt appreciation to each of you. Your prayers, friendship, encouragement, and faithful support are precious to us. You are an important part of the Kehilat HaCarmel family and of all that God is doing through this ministry. We do not take your partnership for granted, and we continually thank the Lord for you.” Visit HaCarmel’s YouTube channel for weekly services, events, teachings.

Youval and Valerie Yanay of Revive Israel, a discipleship ministry, have been Rejoicing in His Presence during Sukkot> They write, “As we celebrate together, we rejoice in who He is, in His presence among us, and in His faithfulness through every season. We also had the opportunity to take part in a large local festival, where we brought our market stand and served fresh salads made with vegetables harvested from the farm. It was a beautiful way to bring the life of the farm into the wider community, meet new people, and share something of what God is doing here.
      One thing very much on our hearts right now is the upcoming discipleship program. We have begun praying seriously for the young people the Lord will bring and asking Him to give us clear direction as we prepare. We are also thankful to welcome a new team member who will serve alongside us during this time. Our desire is that each young person who comes would meet Yeshua in a deeper way, be strengthened in His Word, and leave with a clearer sense of how to follow Him with their whole life. Please pray and give thanks with us: For the joy of Sukkot and for His presence among our community.| For Hadass as she begins her studies and enters a new season.| For wisdom and clear direction as we prepare for the discipleship program.|For the new team member joining us and for unity among everyone who will serve.| For the young people the Lord is drawing, that their hearts would already be prepared to seek Yeshua and grow in Him. We are grateful for your prayers and for the way you continue to stand with us. Partner with us in our labors for the harvest in Israel.

Jennifer and Eliahu Guetta of Plant Hope Israel write: We celebrated a very anointed Feast of Trumpets in Jerusalem. This year, joy filled the celebration from the start. We also spent time in deep repentance, blew the shofar, and danced to “Days of Elijah.” Our amazing team shared a strong sense of unity and experienced the Lord’s presence and the Glory of God as we worshipped Him by the Menorah’s light. Filmed for Succat Hallel’s and Jennifer’s YouTube channels, the feast has already reached 12,000 viewers and inspired people worldwide to celebrate. We invite you to watch on YouTube.
     Two days later! The testimony about the Feast of Trumpets and what is happening in Jerusalem aired on Sid Roth’s It’s Supernatural. WATCH HERE. I discuss my testimony, the mystery of “TIME” in the physical and spiritual worlds, the Feast’s meaning, preparing the bride for Jesus’ return, dreams and visions, and our times. I also prayed against cancer, and God is doing great miracles in many places! The Lord blessed the program, which has now been watched 91,000 times, inspiring many to learn about Jesus’ love and the feasts. That same day, my testimony aired on Come Home with Jenny Mallan on TV channels across America. Watch here
     Thank You! Through these broadcasts, we reached many people with the gospel and inspired thousands about Jesus, Israel, and the Lord’s feasts. It was such a busy week, and all the glory goes to God! With all my heart, I want to thank you, partners and sponsors, who helped make this possible. If you want to keep helping us shine the light of Yeshua in Israel, please click HERE.

Moti Cohen and the team at Tiferet Yeshua write on 9/25: “As we were preparing our hearts for a time of fasting and intercession on Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement), our team realized that several new believers who went through discipleship at Tiferet Yeshua had powerful experiences on the Day of Atonement which led them to discover Yeshua as the Messiah. The most recent was a young man from a religious background with whom Kosta and I met for discipleship just last week. We believe that God touched the hearts of many more people this Yom Kippur, people who are truly hungry for a real connection with God or feel weighed down by the burden of sin. Please join us in praying for a spiritual awakening among Jewish seekers in Israel and around the world.
     Prophetic scripture reveals that the Lord Yeshua is returning to dwell or “tabernacle” among all people at the end of the age: ’Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion! For behold, I am coming and I will dwell in your midst,’ says the Lord.  ‘Many nations shall be joined to the Lord in that day, and they shall become My people. And I will dwell in your midst. Then you will know that the Lord of hosts has sent Me to you.’ -Zechariah 2:10-11
     Sukkot points to the ultimate fulfillment of the prayer Yeshua taught us, “Let Your kingdom come.”  The greatest joy that we can know is Yeshua ruling over the earth in justice, truth and love, filling the earth with peace and the knowledge of the LORD.We want to thank you for your prayers, love and support. Whether discipling new believers, feeding the homeless in south Tel Aviv, or raising up anointed Hebrew worshippers, we are encouraged and blessed to know you are standing together with us.

Kobi and Shani Ferguson of Maoz Israel ministries write, This World is not Your Home. “Sukkot is a fun holiday where we build flimsy outdoor structures and relive the story of God’s faithfulness in the wilderness. It’s worth noting that God didn’t save Israel from the wilderness. He took care of them while He kept them there – for 40 years.  You can see where a life metaphor would work here…This “dry season” was purposed to detox from the slavery mindset and instill the ways of God in His people. It was a strange time where battles were won by raising hands and snakes bites were cured by looking at a staff. Water came from the ground and nutrition came from the sky. Clothes and shoes did not wear out. There was a promised destination but no strategy of how to get there. The basic instructions were, “Watch and follow the pillar of smoke and fire” –  with no explanation of when or why it would move.
     Everyone understood the desert was temporary – just like this world for us is temporary. While they waited – the people studied the Law of God. And the Levites established worship and the tabernacle. While they waited – the people studied the Law of God. And the Levites established worship and the tabernacle.
     This week believers all over Israel will join Yuval’s Fall Festival as we did last year to fellowship and worship. Maoz Music, will be leading songs in Hebrew and Arabic (photo above) together with other worship teams Yuval Arts, Emanuel Roro and SOLU. Worship events like this are just a part of the vision to see worship all over the land – as in the days of the Bible.

For most of the 25 years I have been producing a weekly summary of prayer requests from the Israeli ministries, it has been on a weekly basis. It was in the Spring of 2026 that I cut back to only producing this letter every two weeks. I did it because I have learned a lot in those 25 years of pouring over the newsletters and prayer requests from the Messianic Jews and Christian Arab ministries that I report on. I needed more time to write about what I have learned. Time is running short and Christians need to know quickly what they don’t even know they need to know!

Someone years ago gave me Psalm 118:7 “The Lord is for me among those who help me.” What that means is when people give into a ministry like mine, like the Israeli ministries, it is like a direct deposit from the LORD. He works through people. It takes financial support to do any ministry. When people give support from their own money, it is the LORD prospering us to do even more. Thank you to those who give because your financial gifts make it possible to do what God has called me to do.

Day of Atonement begins Sunday Sept 20th

September 18, 2026
Arrows from Zion Summary of Prayer Points for Israeli Ministries
Prayer Requests & the Chronicles of the Remnant of Faith in Israel

Jackie Santoro, Glory of Zion & Ahavat Yeshua congregation in Jerusalem writes, “September 11 marked the beginning of the Fall Feasts as we ushered in Rosh Hashana, known in the Bible as the “Day of the Blowing of the Trumpets”. Traditional Judaism celebrates it as the Jewish New Year (5787) and although blowing the shofars is done throughout the nation, very few people actually know why! I was in the hospital visiting a friend on Sunday which was the second day of the Feast and the first time the shofars could be sounded after the end of Shabbat. One very religious man came into the room and asked if we wanted to hear the shofar. He and his partner were going to every room so that each person could hear.  Of course, we eagerly said “yes“.  I then asked him why was it important for us to hear the blast of the shofar. Amazingly, he didn’t know! He called in the other religious man who was with him and the man answered that it was a call to invite Abba, Father to be King and reign over us. Amen!  May they know Him whom they have pierced and crown Him King in our day!”
     “June was an intense month with the 7th anniversary of Eddie’s passing, a car accident which totaled my car, my beloved granddaughter moving to Italy for a year, my 80th Birthday and it all culminated with me undergoing Fusion back surgery on July 31. It was a lot emotionally to deal with at one time, but God has brought me through, drawing me ever closer to Him and giving me a new sense of purpose and a hope that will not fade!…I am happy to report that the surgery was very successful and 6 weeks later, I am able to walk with no problems and to drive as much as I want and have returned to life in the fast lane that is Israel and especially Jerusalem! I anticipate so many wonderful things that will be taking place in this special nation in the days to come and I am so honored and privileged to be involved in all that is happening, especially as a part of the leadership team of the congregation which is growing at a rapid rate.
     “Our young people are strong, dedicated and full of energy.  And the incredible thing is that they are all sabra Israelis with Hebrew as their mother tongue, not only soldiers in the Israeli army but brave warriors in the army of God, declaring Yeshua their commander and King! Hallelujah! At the same time, the older generation is esteemed and honored and sought after for the wisdom that comes only from the years lived. Ahavat Yeshua is a blessed multigenerational congregation.
     “….Pray with us that this New Year will see many extraordinary events- from the fall of the evil Iranian regime to a revival that will sweep the earth and especially here in this Land! As always, I thank you for standing with me and encouraging me forward. May we continue to labor together declaring the name of Yeshua to a world desperate for His love. And may we live to see all Israel saved.”

Last issue I told you about an opportunity to join the Tel Aviv congregation Tiferet Yeshua in a special Zoom celebration with their native Israeli leader, Moti Cohen, for the Feast of Trumpets. This will take place on Saturday, Sept 19 at 9pm Israel time, 3 pm Eastern time in the USA.  Here is the link to connect with the meeting. Moti will share a teaching (in Hebrew with translation) about the significance of God’s ordained “times and seasons.” There will also be a time for questions and answers and mutual  prayer.

Howard & Randi Bass of the Nachalat Yeshua (Yeshua’s Inheritance) congregation in Beer Sheva.Howard writing, “Repent, for the Kingdom of God is near! This, I believe, is the message of the Day of Remembrance of [Trumpet] Blasts/Yom Zicharon Teruah, leading up to the Day of Atonements/Yom haKippurim. This is what John the Baptizer proclaimed in the power of Elijah the prophet; this is what Yeshua/Jesus proclaimed in the love and righteousness of God the Father; this is the great commission that the Lord gave for His disciples to preach until the end of the age… until the Day of YHVH/the LORD.  Yeshua calls the churches to do the same — to whoever has ears to hear.
     “….Trumpet blasts have been being heard especially since the reestablishment of the modern State of Israel in 1948 — calling the Jews, and also the nations to remember that there is a God in Heaven and on the Earth, who made the seas and the dry land; calling people everywhere to repent and give Him the glory from their whole being. (Jonah 1)  Self-judgment is essential, as is national repentance, especially on the part of Israel, YHVH God’s chosen nation to bring praise and glory to His holy Name.  (Do you know that the book of Jonah is read in synagogues on Yom Kippur?!)
    “….The wars of the last three years up till now are affecting the nations in a way unthinkable before they began (including between Russia and Ukraine!). When they first began, and the way that they have unfolded and expanded threaten the established order.  Antisemitism, anti-Zionism, anti-Jewish and Christian outrage is growing and getting louder, and the political landscape and economies are each going in the wrong direction, as a whole. God is shaking things; He is giving “trumpet blasts” to wake up His own people, first of all; Jesus is fully in control of events, having all authority in Heaven and on Earth!”     DD: To the Jew first, but also to the Gentiles.
     Howard also sends wonderful photos of families from Yeshua’s Inheritance enjoying their two days/three nights camping trip from this past Friday through Sonday, corresponding to the Jewish “New Year” holiday here.  . . .we traveled about 3 hours to arrive at the Jordan River Park, located walking distance from Bethsaida, and a ten-minute drive to Capernaum.  We went to those two significant New Testament sites in the life and ministry of Yeshua/Jesus. . . .It was a wonderful and Holy Spirit-blessed trip for the congregation. Most of the members participated, and contributed to the strengthening of the fellowship of the different members of the one congregation. Our time together provided many opportunities to get to know each other better and more personally. There were some very good and significant discussions going on, and fun for all. The young children and teens also became more acquainted with each other. We really have much to thank and praise God for Nachalat Yeshua! 
     “Many thanks to you for your prayers, support, encouragement for us, and for some of you for a very long time!  There was great cooperation in volunteering for the necessary tasks, such as food preparation and clean-up.  There was some time for praise and worship, some short teachings and testimony, and praying.  A great time was had by all!  When Randi and I finally got back home, we basically plopped down into our beds for the night. 🙂

Chaim Malespin of Aliyah Return Center and the Faithful Galileans sends Day 1062 video update from Chaim “Commandos Restoring Security” from the Lebanon border. | ALSO: “The Day of Atonement is just around the corner. . . .As we draw nearer to this sacred day, there is a deep longing to draw closer to God in holiness. In the midst of our busy lives, it can be difficult to set aside time to seek the Lord. . . .The Day of Atonement offers us an opportunity to pause, reflect, and search our hearts. It is a time for prayer and fasting, for repentance, and for surrendering any resentment we may be carrying. . . .God is full of mercy and grace, and as we draw near to Him, He will draw near to us. May His presence bless strengthen, and encourage you as you draw near to Him. And may His truth set you free from anything that entangled you in the past year.”

Reuven Doron of One New Man Today in Jerusalem writes, “Today is the biblical Feast of Trumpets. Most people, both in Israel and abroad, call it ROSH HASHANAH. However, as noted in the video above and as most of our readers already know, the ROSH HASHANAH title and associated traditions are mostly man made and the product of Babylonian culture that worked its way into the Jewish exile in Babylon after the destruction of the first temple. We respect our ancient sages and greatly value their contribution to the preservation of our Jewish identity across the difficult centuries of exile and tribulation. However we anchor our convictions in the word of God alone. The bible is clear that our ecclesiastical year starts in the month of the spring just before the Passover as the Lord spoke to Moses. “Now the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying, this month shall be your beginning of months; it shall be the first month of the year to you.” |  WATCH HERE Reuven’s 32-minute teaching on God’s Atonement Power in Your Hands of Yom Kippur, The Day of Atonement | READ First of Nations

Dani & LuAnne Sayag of the Carmel Congregation write, “Our prayer is that this will be a year of the Word of God—a year in which we hunger and thirst for His Word, go deeper in its truth, and draw nearer to the Lord. The sound of the shofar is a call to awaken, to listen, and to turn our hearts toward Him. During this season, may our spiritual ears be open to hear the voice of the Lord and to receive whatever He desires to speak to us—both individually and as a congregation. As the trumpets lead us toward Yom Kippur, may we humble ourselves before Him, allow Him to search our hearts, and respond to His voice with repentance and obedience. May His Word be our foundation, His voice our guide, and His presence our deepest desire throughout this coming year.” WATCH HERE as pastor Dani Sayag teaches on Revival on the Feast of Trumpets

Eitan Shishkoff has been leading these Katzir/Harvest Youth Camps for longer than I have known him I think (2002). I can’t remember when Katzir camps were not a major part of ministry at Tents of Mercy, and of course, when Eitan handed off the pastoral role to Avi Tekle, he remained engaged in the Katzir camps, joined by Joel Jelski who has become the Director of the camps and the invaluable help of Christian Arab Ruby Bishai. Eitan’s report on the latest camp is really heartening. They are giving Israeli teens roots deep into the faith, and their young adult counselors too. So many strong believers and leaders have come from these 3 times a year youth camps. It is an equipping camp for those who will lead in Israel’s major spiritual harvest. Worth the investment.  WATCH this VIDEO from the camp and consider becoming a partner in the Chanukah Camp Dec 9-12. Click here for more info.

Jennifer & Eliahu Guetta in the Galilee Plant Hope Israel write about Jennifer’s return from a couple of months in the United States, with “The highlight of my trip was going to Sid Roth to record my testimony and talk about the Feast of Trumpets. The show aired Sep 14 but watch it here on Facebook. So keep an eye out for it online. You can also see my personal behind-the-scenes pictures and video below! We recorded 2 shows, 2 podcasts, and several other media events. It was such a blessing to be back there, and the people are like family.”

Leon and Nina Mazin of the Haifa Return to Zion Center write about Feeding the City Together. This request came in early AM Thursday 9/17 so it is still an active need to fill!  At the official request of the Haifa Municipality, our community has joined an emergency aid program. We are currently regularly assembling and delivering food packages to those who find themselves in difficult life situations: needy families and single people. Although our main target audience is Jewish, in the face of need, the boundaries of nationalities and faiths are erased. The Municipality turned specifically to us, and among the recipients of this aid today are Jews, Christians, and Muslims. We are convinced that kindness and mercy have no nationality, and we cannot remain on the sidelines when our city needs our support.
     According to Israeli law, we cannot preach the Word when helping the needy. But the Heart and Light of God cannot be hidden. Please pray with us for our neighbors, that the Trumpet Call of God may enter every heart. To continue this work and purchase food packages for those who truly need them, we need your help. We invite you to become a co-participant in this good work! Every donation of yours is real food on the table for those who have been left to face hardships alone. Helping the city together is strength.

Then, during one of our recent times together with new Olim, our team began sharing personal testimonies and speaking about Yeshua. Anna’s son sat listening quietly, but as he heard what God had done in the lives of others, tears began running down his face. His mother was watching. Something was reaching her children in a way she had not expected.

Rania Sayegh of HOPE (House of Prayer & Exploits) is in the final countdown to their “Arab Deborah’s Arising” conference in Nazareth Oct 2-3. They have 83% of their budget raised, and need $5,200 to underwrite the cost so the precious Christian Arab pastor’s wives, intercessors & daughters of the LORD can come together for again for refreshing, recharging & restoring the LORD’s vision for all the believers in Israel. Watch this VIDEO – A Season of Expansion. There are many kinds of Christian Arabs, but Rania has the Gospel of Kingdom and the support of the Israeli Messianic Jewish ministry leaders. This is how unity in Israel is planted, tended and harvested. Good soil: To donate

Youval & Valerie Yanay and the team at Revive Israel  The days between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur carry a different weight in Israel. Across the country, people are thinking about repentance, forgiveness, and making things right before the fast begins. For us, these days are also a call to prayer. We come before God asking for His grace and mercy over our people, and we give thanks for the forgiveness and atonement we have received through Yeshua. Our prayer is that hearts across Israel would turn toward the Lord and come to know the Messiah who has made a way for us to draw near to God. Please pray with us:
    As Yom Kippur approaches, pray for the people of Israel, that hearts would turn toward God and come to know the forgiveness and mercy found in Yeshua.
    Pray for the Almeida family as they travel through Germany and Switzerland, for protection, grace, unity, and fruitful opportunities to share about the Kingdom of God.
    Pray for Youval as he teaches believing soldiers and for the young people hearing the Word, that they would be strengthened in their faith.
   Thank the Lord for the six young people helping us during this intensive planting season, and pray for blessing over everything planted for the winter.
    Pray for the upcoming discipleship program. Thank God for those who have already registered, and ask Him to call and prepare the additional young people He wants to bring.
    As Israel prepares to enter Yom Kippur, we are praying for mercy, forgiveness, and revelation over our people. May many come to know the One who has opened the way back to the Father.     Partner with us in prayers and in giving into our ministry work.

Carolyn and Richard Hyde of Heart of G-d ministries writes: May you be encouraged by the testimonies and prophetic acts described in the video from the recent PAJ in Jordan and Israel. The King of Israel moved mightily in our midst as we listened to His voice together and then followed His leading. “This was the most challenging and intense PAJ, with the most favor from G-d and the most powerful testimonies!” and “We heard that local pastors in town who’d ceased to meet, now plan to gather for prayer together again!”  Arab and Jew – one new man breaking bread together in communion.

Ronit Bender sends her monthly update from northern Israel with an update of the celebration of Terri Morey’s life last month in northern Israel:  I have never seen a support group like the one for my friend Terri, who graduated last month. It seemed like hundreds were on that group. . . People from around the world prayed, supported, encouraged Eric her beloved husband and Michael her cherished son, who had flown in from the USA. It is easy to say nice things about a person that departs the earth, but in this case, Terri was an exceptional woman of God, who hungered and thirsted for her Maker, and for others to know Him. She was small in stature, but a giant in the Faith. The celebration of her life reflected it and was so special and sensitive and very anointed. She would have loved it. May the many seeds she has sown over the years with Eric sprout and flourish, and may the impact she has had on our lives endure to bear much fruit.
      My teeth needed doing, I was directed to a local Russian dentist, Denis, trusted by many believers here. The price even after a discount was 20000 shekels ($6,586). The procedure required I have 10 teeth extracted. It was no picnic. During the procedure, I took comfort knowing that people both local and around the world were praying for me.  What does someone do that does not have this kind of support? For three days, I was toothless, and on the third day I got my dentures. Then, more dentures and crowns in the lower part. The teeth look nice, but my gums are not sure what is going on! My friends around the world contributed and the cost was covered. A big “thank you” to all those of you who helped – and to those who prayed. Please continue to pray for perfect healing.

Asher Intrater, Ariel Blumenthal and Jeremy Similovici of Tikkun Global send these: Asher Intrater VIDEO The Holy Spirit from Creation to Revelation | ARTICLE by Jeremy Similovici The One We Denied Became Our Atonment | VIDEO Ariel Blumenthal God is Love.
     On Thursday Sept 17^th, Tikkun Global conducted a ZOOM gathering to heed the call of the Feast of Trumpets to awaken, gather, and return to God. Even though I was unable to ‘arrive’ at the beginning of the Zoom (all slots were taken already is what the message told me when I tried to join), I tried again later just in time for the final worship song before Asher Intrater began his teaching. I’m glad I made it through because it re-affirmed the things I believe about where we are in God’s plan and where things are going.
     I say that because most of what I hear in the United States from mostly Christian ministries is not what I believe. It’s not only because I have sat under Asher’s teaching for the past 24 years, which I am 100% grateful for, but because this is what I see by the grace of the Holy Spirit in God’s Word too. What he was teaching and what I believe also, is a far, far cry from most of the Christian prophetic & ministry in general is teaching.
     As I wrote on the Tikkun Global Facebook page seeking to know if they were going to put the recording of that teaching out, “I saw you were recording it (the Zoom). Will you be sharing the replay? One sentence in Asher’s teaching I missed, and I want to hear exactly what he said.
     “The message he was talking about in what is coming – the overtaking of the Harlot by the Beast is exactly what I believe is beginning to unfold here in the United States. I’m pretty alone in my thinking on this – most believe we are going to have a miraculous recovery and get them kicked out in time to save ourselves. (When I say “ourselves” I don’t mean the remnant of faith, but the USA as we know it.)
     “I don’t really see that (miraculous victory over Islamists in North America) as far as everything that is prophetically aligned. I think this comes from most others not factoring in Israel as strongly as needed to know where we are in the biblical prophetic buildup.
“If I’m honest, at 75 I am torn between not wanting to be alive for all that, but knowing I’m more mentally prepared and battle hardened that most others I see in denial of what is actually unfolding right now. Texas has a particular problem with how infiltrated we are by stealth jihad all over the state. It is in our neighborhoods all over the state. Anyway, I would like to see the rerun of Asher’s teaching yesterday.”
     I don’t think this is just about the United States. The UK and Europe are even farther along in the struggle between the Harlot and the Beast, and the Harlot is losing that battle. The Remnant of Faith that goes through these times have great promises of supernatural power and help too. There will be victory, but it will be the return of Messiah of Israel that ultimately gives us the final victory.
