January new elections in Israel and at the PA! Labor Primaries! Likud Primaries! Arik Sharon, Prime Minister of Israel and head of the Likud Party, leads in Israeli polls! Amram Mitzna, newly elected head of the Labor Party, leads in the Palestinian polls! Arafat is pleased! Erekat is pleased! The whole PA is pleased with Mitzna! 

Why? 

Because Mitzna declared publicly that his first act in office – should he become the new PM – would be the dismantling of Jewish settlements next to Gaza, followed by the dismantling of ALL Jewish settlements in Judea and Samaria! Mitzna will negotiate with Arafat regardless of terror attacks! And he will give Arafat his Palestinian State whether he wants it or not!

Mitzna, a former career soldier who led Israeli soldiers into battle against the enemy, is worse than Rabin and Barak combined!

Should Mitzna denude Judea and Samaria of Jewish settlements, the Jewish State of Israel would no longer exist! Israel would have become indefensible! After an Arab assault, we would cease to exist!

However, the Word of G-d clearly promises that the returned children of Israel shall not be uprooted out of the Land of Israel ever again²⁴. Rather, the settlements of Judah will set ablaze the nations round about, having victory over the enemy even before Jerusalem²⁵!

The birth pangs are getting worse!

On November 28, 2002, in Mumbassa, Kenya, a handheld missile was launched against an Israeli aircraft full of Israeli tourists. The missile barely missed the airplane. Immediately afterwards a car bomb exploded in front of the Paradise Hotel, killing 6 (2 Israeli children included) and injuring many. The Paradise Hotel was Israeli owned and its guests were mainly Israelis.

The war on Jewish lives, especially on Israeli citizens, is now in its third year! The war for wresting Israel from the Jews and making it a Philistine/Arab state is intensifying --- and Israel is alone! I am alone! We are alone!

Yeshua was also alone when He hung from the cross! For where were the many thousands He had healed? Where was the widow of Nain with her son whom Yeshua had raised from the dead? Where was the rich man whose little daughter the Lord had revived? Where were the lepers the Lord cleansed; the deaf, the blind, the dumb, the lame, to whom the Lord gave hearing, sight, speech and the strength of their legs? Where were the demoniacs He had set free, and the thousands He had fed? Where were the apostles, all His disciples, and the sisters Mary, Martha and their brother Lazarus, raised from the dead after four days???

They all stood far off²⁶! All of them feared to stand with the Lord Who suffered on their behalf! Of the many thousands Yeshua had blessed and helped only the apostle John (the youngest of all the apostles), Yeshua’s mother Miriam and her sister; Mary Magdalene and Mary, the wife of Cleopas²⁷ stood by His cross. One man and four women! 

And a little further away, but still recognizable, stood women – mentioned in the eternal Gospel records by name: Mary the mother of James and Joseph, the mother of the sons of Zebedee (i.e. of James and John), and Salome²⁸!

Where were the men???

Today Yeshua stands forsaken once again. For where are the many millions who claim Him as their Savior? Who claim Abraham, Isaac and Jacob as their patriarchs? Where are the millions who claim “co-inheritance” in the Kingdom of G-d, and “fellow-citizenship” with us Jews in the commonwealth of Israel? Where are they who believe they shall rule with Yeshua from Jerusalem? W H E R E ???
