And right now Jacob’s scattered children are being restored to their own land of Israel — once-ruined and now still partially occupied. The pressures against Israel are mounting — from one corner, pagan politicians whisper seductive promises of false peace, while in the other corner murderous cries to slaughter the Jews resound in casbahs across the Middle East. But Israel’s Messiah has plans of His own to set up David’s throne when He returns (see Amos 9:11).

Great shakings and darkness are descending on Planet Earth, but they will be overshadowed by even more amazing displays of God's power and light.  Ever the long-term strategist, YHVH is raising up a mighty army of cutting-edge Jewish end-time warriors.  These spiritual soldiers will spread His message of restoration and judgment across the globe (see Ezek.37:10-11; Isa.61:1-2). 

The nation of Israel is about to embrace their long-lost older Brother Yeshua (Jesus), just as Joseph's eleven brothers embraced him in Egypt long ago.  This incredible restoration will be the key to open the spiritual storehouses of God's love and provision to a famished world (Rom.11:12,15).

Right now intercession (desperate prayer) is needed on behalf of the Jewish people

* that they repent for national rebellion against David's dynasty (1 Ki.12:19) and especially against their own Messiah, Yeshua Son of David (Matt.23:37-39; Zech.12:10)

* that they enter into their national calling to be prophets to the world (Psa.105:4-5), servants to the nations (Isa.49:5-6; Acts 13:47) and spiritual treasure bearers to the world (Isa.27:6; Rom.11:12,15)

The Apostle Paul encourages us not only to intercede for Israel, but also to reach out to Jewish people with the message of Yeshua.  How shall Israel hear about Him unless someone shows them?  And how can people share this message with the Jewish people unless they are sent out (see Rom.10:14)?  Israel certainly needs fiery prayers (Jer.31:7) and compassionate hands (Isa.60:5-16).  We also need articulate friends who don't mumble when it comes to talking about Messiah, and who are prepared to protect and rescue Jacob's children as did Corrie Ten Boom — even to the point of laying down their own lives.

Part of our vision is to equip believers in Yeshua to pray biblical prayers for Israel's restoration and to speak into the heart of the Jewish people Æ with insight and truth, understanding and the Father's heart of compassion (Isa.40:1-3; Rom.1:16).

The world rushes forward, unaware that it is coming full circle.  The God of Israel is preparing His people for the struggle to come, restoring ancient spiritual weapons of prayer, worship and art.  The creative arts are once again being married to Israel's ancient anointing.  Much of our vision centers on encouraging, cherishing and catalyzing these artistic and prophetic expressions.
