As thousands of people have been killed, injured or displaced in Israel and Gaza, we long for an end to the violence, the making of lasting peace, and we join our Baptist brothers and sisters in the region in prayer. We also join our partners at the Baptist World Alliance and the European Baptist Federation in asking that we follow paths of peacemaking that unequivocally reject terrorism or any acts that target civilians, include dehumanizing language, or limit human rights on the basis of ethnicity or faith.
The Association of Baptist Churches in Israel, a network of 18 churches and the largest network of evangelical churches in the country, has distributed a call to prayer and offered some ways to pray in this moment.

Special Prayer Requests from Israel
The situation in the southern part of Israel has been devastating; it brought us a deep feeling of sorrow, anger, confusion, and concern for the future.
In the northern part of Israel, where our churches are primarily situated, we are all safe. The streets are nearly deserted, with the only sound being the frequent roar of military airplanes flying overhead.
During this morning’s church service in Nazareth, many congregants found comfort in tearful prayers. Despite the continuous influx of bad news, the Lord encouraged us through songs and scripture.
Thank you for many friends who sent notes asking about our safety and for encouragement. The following are ten points to pray for at this point.
1) Pray and affirm that God is sovereign over the entire universe and has the power to change the situation.
2) Pray for a quick end and that it does not escalate into a larger war in the region.
3) Lift up in prayer those who are grieving the loss of their loved ones.
4) Pray for those who have been wounded during the conflict and for those providing medical assistance to them.
5) Pray for the safety and liberation of hostages, and pray for mediators to facilitate their release.
6) Pray for wisdom and discernment for the leaders, that they may make decisions that lead to lasting peace and alleviate suffering.
7) Pray that Christians from around the world to join in prayer for peace, demonstrating the love of Christ to all peoples.
8) Pray for safety of local followers of Jesus, and that they will be shielded from extremism and hatred, especially young people.
9) Pray that God to utilize our churches as effective witnesses during this challenging time, through the power of the Holy Spirit.
10) Pray for peace and security for the entire region, and that the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its rays.
Thank you for your friendship and for your support for the ministry of the Association of Baptist Churches in Israel, so that we continue to Empower, Enhance and Expand churches in the land where Jesus walked.
In Him,

Blessings unto you from our Heavenly Father and Lord Jesus Christ. This is not a solicitation, I am not a robot, and you are not on a mailing list. I have researched your organization and churches to personally email you and some other top officers who are lovingly and diligently overseeing the flocks of sheep belonging to our Wonderful Counselor and Prince of Peace, Jesus Christ. This is with hopes that you will share this email and link with as many churches and children of God that you oversee, and let them decide for themselves if it is they for whom this letter is also intended. As for those who live in Israel, you have a dire prophecy spoken by Jesus in the book of Matthew that will soon come to pass in the first month of 2025 and will be explained a little more in this letter.
I am writing concerning The Kingdom of God and the times and signs all around us telling us that the return of Jesus is near. If you believe that the prophecies in the book of Revelation are inevitable, then it is plausible that those events will happen in your lifetime, and could be happening now. We are living in the ending years of the generation spoken by Jesus in His parable of the fig tree, which He said will not pass without seeing the end of days and His second coming. It is my hopes to awaken the churches with one last great revival before the return of our King of Kings, Lord Jesus Christ. The Kingdom of God will include New Jerusalem as God’s wedding gift to Jesus. Our intentions are to revive his sheep and to secure our rightful inherited places within the 1,000-year Kingdom on Earth, for we are also a part of God’s wedding gift to our Merciful Lord of Lords. This letter is to help spread the gospel of the Kingdom around the world and to bring as many people as our Heavenly Father chooses into our 1,000-year reign with God and Jesus.
In these end days, many of us are being blessed to receive some of the unveilings in the book of The Revelation of Jesus Christ and also to some of the Old Testament prophecies sealed until the end, like the book of Daniel. Within the pages of these sites include the revealing of the 2 witnesses in Revelation who were unveiled in early November. These 2 fellas do not belong to our God as most of us have always thought, but they are of the devil himself. One of the biggest surprises that we found in the book of Revelation was to realize that Chapters 10 and half of 11 are almost entirely about the devil. He has a lengthy speaking role and is the one who purposely gives John a book to eat that knowingly made his belly bitter. The most cryptic numbers in the bible must be the 1,335 and 1,290 days from the 12th chapter in the book of Daniel, and they are also revealed within these pages and on the website blog, which is a must read. The first beast with the headwound is also Paul’s “son of perdition”, and Daniel’s “abomination of desolation” and he has been revealed months ago. He is on Earth and is about to unlock one of the next prophecies spoken by Jesus before our very eyes, and it will start on 01/20/25. This is from Matthew 24:15-16 when Jesus warns Judea to flee into the mountains when the “abomination of desolation” stands in his holy place. Jesus says to “remember Lot’s wife” when fleeing Judea by not looking back and also says to not “return back” for anything. This prophecy is decoded and explained on the website wholly by using the Word of God. If you know of anyone who lives in the cities of Judea, Israel, have them go on vacation or leave the cities for any other reason. Jesus does not lie and a dire event will occur extreme enough for them to heed His warning and flee the cities by 01/20/2025. These prophecies are literally happening exactly the way Jesus told us they would. Jesus said no one will know the exact day or hour of his return but he did say to watch for the signs and then “look up, and lift up our heads, for our redemption draws near.”
I understand that clicking on a link from an email is implausible, so just copy and paste or type, any one of the links into the address bar, but not the search bar, of your phone, computer pad, etc. Even if you do not visit these sites now, put this email in a safe spot for later; because after 01/20/25 you will be scrambling to find it. We will post multiple but different links to websites that are exactly alike in case some of them start disappearing from the world wide web. Jesus says for us to not be deceived by ways of false miracles and false gods in the end of days, and you will not get deceived after reading The Word of God and the other information that was placed within these pages. There is a privacy policy to quickly reject cookies in the menu bar of these sites. We do not want anyone to think this is some way to receive something from them. This is simply a gift from our Heavenly Father’s Holy Ghost for his Beloved Son Jesus Christ. We hope you read the book of Revelation soon and confirm for yourself that the return of Jesus is either imminent or not. May kindness, compassion, and humility be upon you.
