Hallelujah!
George Frederick Handel is regarded as one of the greatest composers in church history. His oratorio Messiah is the most popular of his works, as it has captivated and inspired many with its biblical lyrics and musical score. King George II of England was present during the first performance in London on 23 March 1743. When the famous “Hallelujah Chorus” was sung, which contains the words, “For the Lord God omnipotent reigneth,” the King stood unexpectedly. His act of homage prompted the...

Why We Need the Jewish State
The Jewish State is no coincidence, nor is it the product of the whim of the nations. The Jewish State is the work of God, who is pulling the strings behind the scenes and using the nations for His affairs. This State is necessary for the Lord’s return: Only in this way can biblical prophecy be completely fulfilled. Israel’s current existence is like a guarantee of Jesus’ return. It is a reality, and is inexorably approaching. The final fulfillment of God’s history with Israel is announced in...

The concept of a “G2”—a more exclusive version of the Group of Seven or Group of 20 forums—was introduced in 2005 by American economist C. Fred Bergsten to underscore the importance of communication between the world’s two biggest economies. There is no doubt that China and the U.S. have a significant impact on the world. But we should not forget there are more than 190 countries on our planet,” Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said in response to a question from NBC News. “World history has...

GERMANY - US Jews Reclaim German Citizenship
An increasing number of Jewish Americans with family histories shaped by the Holocaust are applying to restore German citizenship—to have the option to move to Germany should conditions in the US deteriorate further.

After surviving Nazi persecution and rebuilding her life in the US, Ruth became a psychotherapist and raised a family...
Israel Has a Future!
Encouragement from Biblical Prophecy Many Christians who concern themselves with biblical prophecy are accused of being pessimistic or negative about the world. They’re seen as “prophets of doom and gloom.” While this may be true of a few of them, the opposite is really the case. Christians with a sound theology of biblical prophecy are encouraged, joyful, thankful, able to look to the future with confidence, and able to encourage others. Their enthusiasm is contagious. They serve their Lord...
ISRAEL - Land Registration Will ‘Bring Order’
For the first time since Israel occupied the territory in 1967, the government will create a mechanism to officially register large swaths of land under the state. Far-right Finance Minister Bezalal Smotrich said the land registry would continue “the settlement and governance revolution across all parts of our land” as he referenced Judea and Samaria, the biblical term for the West Bank. Israel captured the West Bank from Jordan in the 1967 war and subsequently began establishing Jewish...
