Israel & Jewish Roots

  • What is Christian Zionism?

    Tens of thousands of churches, and literally tens of millions of Christians in the U.S., have a committed belief in the importance of standing with Israel and blessing the Jewish people. The verse most often referred to as their biblical mandate is Genesis 12:3 in which God tells Abraham, "I will bless those who bless…

  • Seven Reasons to Support Israel

    Everything Christians do should be based upon the biblical text. The following are seven biblical reasons why Christians everywhere should stand up and speak up for Israel.

    The Secret of the Jews

    Those who studied biblical prophecy in the late 1930s believed an evil power of darkness had been unleashed in Europe. German dictator and tyrant Adolf Hitler, like a demon on assignment, was initiating his “solution” to the world’s problems by planning what historians would later identify as the Jewish Holocaust. When 1948 arrived, the world

  • A Pilgrim’s Progress

    {flv width=”280″ height=”220″}ValerieLowe-StandingWithIsraelIntro{/flv} My name is Valerie G. Lowe and I’m the editor of the new Standing with Israel e-newsletter. One of the most rewarding and exciting places I’ve ever traveled to is Israel. I’d always wanted to take a pilgrimage to the Holy Land but didn’t think the opportunity would ever present itself.

    It’s Time to Take a Stand

    The cover of the May issue of Charisma asks an ominous question: "Can Israel Survive?" The answer is a resounding yes. Besides the fact that the Israelis are perhaps the most determined people on the face of the earth, God's Word says that the Jews are His chosen people, the apple of His eye, and they will survive. But Israel needs…

  • Day 5: Never Forget

    What a sobering experience. My tour today began with a visit to Yad Vashem Holocaust Memorial Museum located on the Mount of Remembrance in Jerusalem.

  • Day 3: Be Still

    Shalom. Today I sailed the Sea of Galilee! Every time I think my visit to Israel can't get any better, something or someone will change my mind. That's what happened to me today when I had an encounter with Jesus on the Sea of Galilee. After eating breakfast this morning we all boarded a bus headed…

  • Day 2: Miracles, Anyone?

    Shalom! This morning my tour group and I checked out of the Dan Panorama Hotel in Tel Aviv (what a nice place) and boarded the bus for Caesarea National Park. King Herod the Great (not the Herod who sought to have baby Jesus killed,) built Caesarea. When I got off the bus, my mind went back in time to thousands of…
