LEBANON MISSILES ATTACK NORTHERN ISRAEL
70 AD Temple Destroyed
July 18, 2021, Samaria: In the video I claimed that I do not know whether another temple will be built; that means, the timing. Obviously, I am well aware of Ezekiel 39-40, but I do not want to get into all that in a 7-minute video. For now let’s say that how and when those chapters would be fulfilled is a mystery to me personally.
What I see is that in this current time of history we are still way back in Ezekiel chapter 36, particularly verses 8-38. And yes it does seem to me that chapters 36 and 37 would chronologically precede chapters 38 & 39. How much time must elapse from one chapter to the next is up for speculation. Now is the time to make the best of the era in which we find ourselves.
Right now we are in the middle of Ezekiel 36:25 fulfillment: the sprinkling of water. That phase has already taken decades, and it is not yet finished. After that comes removing the heart of stone – far from happening yet – and after that, its replacement with a heart of flesh. There is a very specific purpose for this heart change:
And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do [them]. Ezekiel 36:27 (AV)
Sprinkling of water leads to heart change
Heart change leads to Elohim’s indwelling Spirit
Indwelling Spirit leads to Israel walking and practicing YHWH’s statutes and judgments.
And this whole process began with YHWH bringing the people back to His Land of Israel while yet unrepentant.
Thus saith the Lord GOD; I do not [this] for your sakes, O house of Israel, but for mine holy name’s sake, which ye have profaned among the heathen, whither ye went. Ezekiel 36:22b
I’d like to invite all readers and viewers to pray and ask YHWH what can be done personally to advance this process as seen in Ezekiel 36:25-28.

See the Yelling Goats of Samaria
What do the mountains of Samaria look like? What do Israeli goats sound like when they yell? Is anyone worried about that Arab village just a stone’s throw away?
Back from Tel Aviv: Street War Continues
Thoughts and observations of how Israelis have been coping with the craziness of rockets exploding overhead, running for cover during the rocket attacks. As well as continued street warfare since the cease-fire.
The beach is not a good area to be caught in a rocket storm:

There are two relevant channels where I post: “JTOD org” and “Bomb Shelter Bibles.” Of course, for music, there’s my channel “YerubileeTheBand.” Thanks. Now to the report:
In May 2021, the Israel DEFENSE Force (IDF) entered into “Operation Guardian of the Walls” in order to defend Israel’s civilians from missile attacks from the Hamas terror army in Gaza, along with a handful from north of the border with Lebanon.
During this time, I’ve been housesitting in Bat Yam, a coastal city just south of Tel Aviv-Jaffa.
As I learned, beaches aren’t a good place to get caught in a missile storm. Here are a few techniques that I discovered, with help from Israeli news recommendations and pictures shared in social media among Israelis:
Video taken from inside a bomb shelter. Air raid sirens and ambulance sirens outside, as heard from inside. “Fraidy Cat” hiding out with me in Bat Yam, in the hot missile zone of Tel Aviv-Jaffa.
Continuing to keep the prayer meetings and Bible studies going in the midst of the missile hot zone during wartime (18 May 2021):
Outer View of the Bomb Shelter & Damage Report:
On Shabbat, May 15, 2021, I facilitated the Bible teaching in two congregational meetings. Afterwards, I went for a walk towards the beach in Bat Yam, just south of Tel Aviv-Jaffa. Twenty-Three Missiles exploded over my head as they were detonated mid-air by the Iron Dome (IDF) defense system, before the Gaza missiles managed to strike the civilian targets on the ground. Here’s the video of my experience:
Backing up to the first missile barrages and street riots, earlier in the first week of fighting:

Aramaic Lamsa vs KJV: Proverbs 29:2,4,10,16,18
Today let’s open our Bibles and look at the contrast between George Lamsa’s translation from the Aramaic vs the KJV translation from the Hebrew for some choice verses in Proverbs 29.

Does Scripture Speak of Politics?
Here I see Scriptural encouragement to advocate to remove corrupt judges & politicians and replace them with good people to take their place. It’s with this in mind that I encourage good people to run for office, to avoid political passivity, to take actions like voting and writing their representatives, and to pray for politicians as per 1 Tim. 2:1-9.
Proverbs 28:12: “Strong” clearly parallels “rise to power;”. That strength is not merely the ability to squat heavy weights under the barbell, this is a form of strength that finds expression in the public sphere. This “rise to power” of the righteous increases the Glory: The Glory that the citizens give to the Creator Who created Righteousness, by definition. The people glorify Him when they live and love with Shalom. That increase of Glory continues to draw others into The Father, Creator of all.
That Glory is diminished when the unrighteous people have strength in politics and influence. Verse 15 affirms, adding that an unrighteous ruler treats the poor exactly the way the devil treats all people: like a roaring lion. No wonder because the unrighteous fulfill the actions ans will of the enemy.
How much more do the righteous fulfill the will and good works of the Creator. Pray for all leaders (1 Tim 2:1-9), and support and encourage the righteous leaders to persist in doing Good. Help the Good to succeed and consider what office you might take.

The UAE Deal With Israel: Is It Good?
Here in the Middle East, it’s not every day that some nation makes an announcement of peace with Israel. The last time it happened was with Jordan in 1994. Prior to that it was Egypt, and that’s it. But the question is – is this good for the Middle East, good for Israel, good for the world?
Incendiary Balloons
Israel is dealing with the plague; In the midst of political changes; Three national elections in one year; and then the neighbors pick up again with explosive packages carried by balloons, incendiary balloons lighting fires in the southern farmlands (this is a recognized war crime); Rockets fired at civilian homes (another war crime).
Taking the high ground, the army responds by targeting missile launch sites, missile factories, and terror tunnels (not a war crime).
