The only way that any nation can become truly great is to honor God in every sphere of life, to fear him, and to keep his commandments.
On a related note, I can't help but be puzzled by all the praise heaped on the late Queen Elizabeth II. I get "don't speak ill of the dead" and all that, but this was a head of state. It seems to me that the rules are a little different. QE2 was in a much better position than any elected President or Premier to uphold a basic level of public morality within her realms, but she refused. She presided over one of the most horrific moral declines in history. She wore the crown, but did almost nothing to lead her people. Unfortunately, I don't expect Charles to do any better.

This nexus of history is remarkable for many reasons. One of the most remarkable aspects is what seems to be an expanding willingness of Jews and Christians to establish relationships based on their shared faith in the God of Israel and expectation of His promises of redemption to be fulfilled. On the other hand, this present time is remarkable in that mainstream Judaism and Christianity are still at odds with one another, and there are many on both sides who resist any cooperation, and who view those who reach across the divide with suspicion.
Adam Eliyahu Berkowitz addresses these topics in this second part of our conversation. He knows his subject, having covered it for several years as a columnist for Israel365 News. Israel is the center of this nexus in history – which is a blessing, but it comes at tremendous cost. That’s what Eliyahu shares in this interview, and in his latest novel, The Master of Return and the Eleventh Light.
A beautiful part of what Eliyahu shares is the willingness of Christians and Jews to help one another in our shared journey. It’s good to have help along the way, but how much help to we thrust aside because we don’t appreciate the source? We hear about that in “Allowing Help,” the latest midrash from David Jones and Barry Phillips, and in the music of Lenny & Varda and Eved Adonai.

Please join in prayer for everyone in the path of the hurricane that will affect Florida in the USA. We know that the Creator is in complete control and ask for the safety of HIs people there and that His majesty and glory be clearly seen through this storm. Allowing people to show their love for each other while they help each other as they prepare and cope with this storm.
PRAYING FOR A HARVEST
These were Yeshua’s instructions for His disciples from long ago. I believe they are still applicable to us today: The harvest is so great, but the workers are so few. Pray to Adonai who is in charge of the harvest and ask Him to send out more workers for His fields –- Luke 10:2.
THE CHALLENGE: -- The harvest is plentiful.
Yeshua said thousands of years ago that the harvest was plentiful. The challenge is still before us today. Billions of people on our planet do not know Yeshua Moshiach and YHVH’s gift of Grace and forgiveness. These people are part of 12,000 un-reached people groups from around the world. These peoples, according to the Adopt a People Clearinghouse, are deemed [un-reached] for three reasons
1 -- They have not had the gospel preached to them.
2 -- They do not have a church in their language or culture.
3 -- They do not have the Word of YHVH translated into their language.
These groups make up close to 65 percent of our earth’s population!!
THE PROBLEM: -- The workers are few.
The labourers are few, as these statistics show:
A -- More than 50 percent of the new missionary workers who go to the field will stay an average of only one four-year term.
B -- More than 80 percent of the present missionary force will work with [reached] groups; that are, and they have a significant population claiming to be believers with leaders who are nationals.
C -- Less than 18 percent of the present missionary force work in the fifty-five least evangelized countries of the world [more than 5 billion population].
D -- More than 50 percent of the present missionary force working around the world will reach retirement age or die over the next 10 years.
THE ANSWER: -- Ask Adonai of the harvest.
We do not need more committees, more satellites, more colleges, or more books on missions and evangelism. We do not need more seminars, workshops, conventions, or conferences. Instead, Yeshua calls people to take seriously the ministry of prayer. Yeshua yearns for more prayer warriors and prayer meetings. He aches for more meetings opened in prayer, focused on prayer, and concluded with prayer!
Prayer Encouragers:
1 -- QUOTE:
World evangelization, above all, is an issue to be decided by spiritual power, the power of Ruach HaKodesh released in response to the prayers of His people. - John D. Robb
2 -- TRUE STORY:
Missionary Stan Yoder told a story about when he worked in Sierra Leone. He wanted to reach the Yalunka people there, so he and his agency targeted a Yalunka town, and the agency was recruiting a couple to come work there. About the same time, a church in the U.S. began praying for the Yalunka town, praying specifically that twelve families would come to Moshiach. Before the couple came, the following happened. A new chief was elected, and he sent word to Stan to come and start a church there. Stan went, and 250 people attended the first service, and 21 people came to Moshiach the first day. – Taken from interview with Stan Yoder
3 -- TRUE STORY:
Since the 1800s missionaries have tried to reach the 20,000 semi-nomadic Orma people of Kenya. This people were highlighted in July 1986 in the daily mission’s prayer devotional, Global Prayer Digest. After the article was printed, it worked out that nine missionaries were able to come among the Ormas. -- Taken from Frontier Missions, We Pray, YHVH Answers March 1989.
4 -- FACT:
Prayer is mentioned more than thirty times in the book of Acts, generally before major breakthroughs in the outward expansion of the early believer's movement.
5 -- TRUE STORY:
Dick Eastman, president of World Literature Crusade, tells how in 1988 YHVH led him to take a team of praying believers throughout Eastern Europe. In obedience to YHVH’s leading, they carried out a [prayer walk] around the Poli-bureau building in Bucharest, where less than two years later Ceausescu made his last stand after pride fully announcing his regime would last a thousand years.
Pray, pray, and pray some more for the un-reached people groups and for workers to send into the Harvest field. AND most important of all – pray for each other here on TTN!
