Election Issues: ANTISEMITISM

Election Issues: Week Five

ANTISEMITISM

Introduction:

For Week Five of our Election Issues focus point, we have chosen the topic of ANTISEMITISM, as we prepare to honor the Jewish New Year, Rosh Hashanah.

We at Capitol Hill Prayer Partners will remain eternally grateful for President Trump's strong stand on behalf of Israel and the Jewish people. By declaring, last December, that Jerusalem IS the capital city of Israel, and by then following through in May by moving our U.S. Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem -- on the exact date of Israel's 70 year anniversary of becoming a nation -- this President has done more than any other to honor and to bless the Jewish people.

THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT!
However, even as we rejoice at these actions by President Trump, we remain grieved at the existence -- and indeed, the growth -- of antisemitism among our people. Please find below three points of specific need for intercession at this time, although these issues by no means can encompass the entirety of this vast topic.

Thank you for standing in prayers of repentance over each topic named below.

Sara C. Ballenger, Founder and President
Capitol Hill Prayer Partners

1. Issue Number One: Replacement Theology

What is replacement theology? Simply, replacement theology teaches that all the covenants and their promises have been stripped from Israel and given to the gentiles, because of Israel's rebellion against God and their rejection of the Messiah. And now the predominantly gentile Church has replaced Israel as God's chosen people. This theology often leads to a spiritualization of the Old and New Testament prophesies regarding Israel, and often supports amillennial theology which teaches that we are now living in the one-thousand year reign of Christ, where there is no rapture of the Church and no future promises for the nation of Israel.

These theologians believe that Israel was a temporary plan; a type or picture of God's future greater plan, which is the church. They take the writings of the New Testament out of context. . .

They will also cite scripture about God's issuance of a bill of divorce to Israel, yet will ignore or spiritualize the dozens of prophesies that point to God's future redemptive plans for Israel, including His annihilation of their divorce certificate, as it is written: "Where is the certificate of your mother's divorce, Whom I have put away?" (Isaiah 50:1).

Replacement theology has been the single most damaging false teaching to enter the church, severing the gentile Christians from their biblical foundation and spiritual fountainhead, and isolating the Jewish people from the love of Christ and the message of salvation. Rather than share the message of the gospel and provoke them to jealousy, replacement theology has sadly fueled a root of hatred and anti-Semitism by gentile Christians that have been held ignorant of scripture through blind church leaders. (Source: "The Root of Replacement Theology" by Pastor Eric D. Teitelman, House of David Ministries) To read all of this article, please go here.

A PRAYER OF REPENTANCE

We pray the Lord removes this blindness and restores the church to her proper foundation. Forgive us, O Lord, we pray. Amen.

2. Issue Number Two: The BDS Movement

What is BDS?

BDS stands for "Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions." According to the movement's website, it works for freedom, justice and equality, and upholds the simple principle that the Palestinians are entitled to the same rights as the rest of humanity.

The goal of the movement is to put an end to international support for so-called Israeli oppression of the Palestinians and to force Israel to act in accordance with international laws. The movement also said that the Palestinians are fighting for freedom, justice and equality and need support.

Although the BDS movement claims that it is seeking peace and equality, its actions prove otherwise.

The movement's campaign calls for an economic, academic and cultural boycott of Israel, and its activities include demonstrations, petitions and propaganda, such as the Israeli Apartheid Week held annually on many college campuses around the world.

In the field of culture, there is a great deal of pressure on artists not to perform in Israel, to the point that some receive threats on their lives, are blackmailed and/or face harsh slander.

On numerous occasions, the personal details of Jewish students on various campuses abroad were frequently published and their lives put at risk. (Source: "BDS: Peace and Equality or the Destruction of Israel?" by Bridges for Peace) To read this article, go here.

Editor's tip: To remain current with any breaking news about BDF topics, we recommend visiting the website for The Jerusalem Connection by going here.

A PRAYER OF REPENTANCE

Father God, we stand in the gap for the many businesses in our nation who have fallen victim to the lie of the BDS movement. We ask You to forgive them for their blindness, for they know not what they do. We cancel any agreements with the BDS movement and declare each one null and void, by the power of the Blood of the Lamb. In Your Name, Abba, we declare this to be true, amen.
A verse to decree:

"Come now, and let us reason together," Says the LORD, "Though your sins are as scarlet, They will be as white as snow; Though they are red like crimson, They will be like wool." (Isaiah 1:18)

Issue Number Three: The Growing Movement of Antisemitsm on our College Campuses

Week after week, we continue to receive reports of antisemitic activism at various college campuses across the USA. Below please find two examples:
a. Anti-Semitic post says Jews taking over Indiana University campus - Times of Israel: Sept. 6, 2018

An online post said a "bunch of hairy stink rude obnoxious jews" (sic) are overtaking the Indiana University campus. The existence of the anonymous post was first reported on Friday by the alternative student publication The Tab on its Instagram account.

The August 29 post had appeared on the Greekrank website about fraternities and sororities on campus. It has been deleted, but screenshots have circulated. University officials denounced the post in a statement Tuesday, The Indiana Daily Student reported.

"The language used by these anonymous posters is hurtful and offensive," the statement said. It also said that "Hoosiers are better than this." (Read more)
b. Brown notifies campus community of 'disturbing' 'anti-Semitic' incident - Providence Journal, August 3, 2018

PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- Two people displayed a "vulgar and highly offensive anti-Semitic sign" on the Brown University campus Tuesday, according to a notice that was sent to the Brown community.

Shontay Delalue, the university's vice president for institutional equity and diversity, said the "disturbing" incident involved two people who are not associated with Brown. They were seen making a video of themselves and trying to talk to people on campus.

"At Brown, while we welcome free expression, behavior that creates a hostile environment on campus is not tolerated," Delalue said in the message to the campus. "This includes expressions of hatred based on race, religion, gender, sexual orientation and any other protected classes."(Read more)

A PRAYER OF REPENTANCE

Father God, we repent that some of our young people have now adopted antisemitic thinking. We ask that You help us to remain vigilant of actions like these in our own communities, and to be quick to take action to correct this behavior. Forgive us, O Lord, for seeds of wickedness that have been planted among our own, and deliver us from evil we ask, in Your Name, amen.
A verse to decree:

" . . . deliver us from evil . . ." (Matthew 6:13)
> > > BONUS TOPIC: Did you know??

Nazi Flag Flies Over German Embassy in Washington, D.C. in 1937

Wow, this is an amazing (and horrifying) photo that we found on Pinterest. The flag is at half-staff on top of the German Embassy here in D.C., in honor of the Hindenburg, which went down on May 7th, 1937 in New Jersey. > > > To view this photo, go here.
A PRAYER OF REPENTANCE

Father God, even though we realize that each nation has the right to fly its own flag over its embassy, anywhere in the world, nevertheless we mourn that this flag - representing all the horrors of Nazi Germany - flew here over the streets of Washington, D.C. in the 1930's.

Lord God, in the way only You know to do, we ask that You would cleanse this land that has been defiled in our nation's capital, removing any seeds of the Nazi ideology in our land, and laying axe to the very root of this abomination. We ask this in Your name. Amen.

A verse to decree:

" . . . if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land." (2 Chronicles 7:14)

Happy Jewish New Year!

Rosh Hashanah 5779

The Feast of Trumpets!

Happy Jewish New Year!

Introducing a Prayer Calendar to Follow During Judaism's High Holy Days

2018 - 5779 High Holy Days

Sunday Sept 9 (Sundown) - Sunday Sep 30

WELCOME
I extend a warm welcome to everyone joining us for the seventeenth Jewish Prayer Focus, which will be the final printed version as we look at other ways to communicate the information and reach the next generation. 2018 is another significant year. On April 19 and May 14 we celebrated Israel's 70th birthday in the Hebrew and Gregorian calendars and the US Embassy move to Jerusalem. On September 19, we commemorate the 100th anniversary of the beginning of the final breakthrough of World War 1 in the Middle East which liberated northern Israel, Jordan and Syria, without which the Balfour declaration would have been empty words. This final 'great race' culminated with the Armistice enacted exactly a year after the Beersheba charge, opening the way for the return of the Jews and the re-formation of Israel as a modern nation.

God has a mighty plan for this planet which involves not only the salvation of individuals but also the salvation of nations. Israel is a key, as God will once again bare His holy arm to deliver the people from destruction and draw them to Himself as He did at Mt Sinai. This time, He will write the law on their hearts, not on stone (Jer 31:33-34), and a remnant from the nations will come to worship Him as King in Jerusalem (Zech 14:9,16). As the world turns against Israel, God is calling His children to stand with her and work with Him to see His purposes accomplished and the One New Man emerge (Eph 2:13-16). His kingdom is expanding via the Jewish, Christian and Arab congregations across Israel.
The Feast Calendar and Timing

The appointed times given by God in Leviticus 23 prophetically show us God's grand redemptive plan for all humanity. The first four feasts occur in the springtime. Jesus fulfilled the first three festivals at Passover (I Cor 5:7), and the fourth at Pentecost (Acts 2), all on the EXACT DAY in this Biblical calendar. This indicates the importance of this calendar.

The Jewish Prayer Focus prayer time is aligned with the last three feasts which occur in the autumn/fall season. These have not yet been fulfilled, but prophetically speak of the Messiah's return in the end times: to gather His church, to judge the nations, to save Israel and to rule the nations as the Prince of Peace. These feasts lead us through repentance and reconciliation, personally and nationally, to thankfulness for His provision, and rejoicing in His presence. We, the intercessors in the nations, stand together with Israel as Jew and Gentile, one in Messiah (Eph 2:14-16), sharing His appointed times, and looking towards Yeshua's final fulfilment of these prophetic festivals.
> > > Written by Jill Curry, JewishPrayerFocus.org

The Jewish Prayer Focus is a call to intercession for the Jewish people for the 22-day period (Sept 9-30) during the Holy Days of the Biblical calendar in Lev 23:26ff. Our main focus is to pray for the salvation of the Jews (which is unfolding) and also to prepare ourselves for the return of the Messiah, which these holidays foreshadow. The prayer guide contains prayer points, teachings, testimonies, and introductions to Israeli congregations, mostly written by Messianic leaders themselves. Our 17th edition has the theme, 'Welcoming the King' (Matt 23:39).
To read these daily prayer guides, beginning with tomorrow, Sunday, Sept. 9, Day One of the High Holy Days, go here.
May God bless this wonderful ministry!
L'Shana Tova!

Happy New Year!

Keeping an Eye on Florence

Keeping an Eye on Florence
Florence may track near Bermuda, US East Coast while it restrengthens in Atlantic - Accuweather
Florence is forecast to restrengthen into a hurricane and push close to Bermuda and the United States East Coast next week. Florence is expected to have an indirect impact and may evolve into a serious direct threat.

Florence is a relatively small tropical system, and small tropical systems are very vulnerable to both ideal and poor environmental conditions.

After forming near the Cabo Verde Islands last weekend, Florence became the first Category 4 hurricane of the 2018 Atlantic season as it entered a zone of low wind shear and sufficiently warm waters earlier this week.

Wind shear is the increase in wind speed and change in wind direction with either increasing altitude or over a horizontal distance. High wind shear can prevent a tropical storm from forming and cause a well-developed hurricane to weaken. (Read more)
