Israel 2025

21.2.25

The bodies of Ariel and Kfir Bibas have been identified, the third body is not that of the mother, Shiri. According to the assessment of professional officials, based on the intelligence available to us and forensic findings from the identification process, Ariel and Kfir Bibas were brutally murdered by terrorists in captivity in November 2023. Hamas’ lies, the children were not killed by an IDF attack, but by the terrorists from the Salafi-jihadist organization “Lords of the Desert.”

IDF Spokesperson: Kfir and Ariel were murdered with bare hands, then terrible acts were committed against them to obscure the circumstances of the murder!

The doctors expressed shock they had never seen before, and these are the doctors who identified the victims of 7/10. According to the security establishment’s assessment, the horrific murder of the Bibas family children was committed about ten days after the October 7 massacre. Their bodies were then mutilated with rocks to simulate death by bombardment.

The Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia has spoken about what unfolded in Gaza today of Palestinians cheering on the coffins of the Bibas and Oded Lifschitz: “What we saw today in Gaza is a disgrace to Islam, an act of blasphemy against Allah.”

The Grand Mufti of Dubai, Ahmed al-Haddad, reportedly stated after watching the scenes of dead Israeli babies being paraded in coffins in Gaza: ‘Hamas has brought shame to Islam on a level never seen before.’

Here is the updated list of the Palestinian factions who participated in the Hamas ceremony: 🔻 Al-Ahrar’s Mujahideen Brigades (who held the Bibas children and their mother hostage). 🔻 Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades (Fatah’s official military wing in Gaza, tied to Fatah leadership in Judea & Samaria), some of them are currently working under the Palestinian Authority with the American private contractors in Gaza.  🔻 Hamas’ military wing  🔻 Islamic Jihad’s military wing   🔻 The Popular Resistance Committees’ Al-Nasser Salah al-Din Brigades (a Salafi-jihadist faction).  🔻 The PFLP and PFLP-General Command  🔻 Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades, Al-Amoudi Battalion (aligned with Mohammed Dahlan).

They had kids get on stage to celebrate the corpses of the Bibas Family and Oded Lifshitz being paraded.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu: “The State of Israel bows its head to two small children, tender babies, brothers – Ariel and Kfir Bibas, may their memory be blessed, and to Oded Lipshitz, may his memory be blessed, one of the founders of Kibbutz Nir Oz. All three were murdered with terrible cruelty in Hamas captivity in the first weeks of the war. …  In an unspeakably cynical manner, they did not return Shiri to her little children, the little angels, and they put the body of a Gazan woman in a coffin.”

70 hostages are being held in Gaza, 36 of whom have been declared dead

Hamas publishes list of six hostages to be released tomorrow, at least for now, according to the plan: Abra Mengistu / Hisham al-Sayed / Omer Wankert / Omer Shem Tov / Eliya Cohen / Tal Shoham

According to the Palestinian Prisoners’ Office, prisoners are expected to be released from Israeli prisons tomorrow according to the following distribution: 50 life prisoners / 60 prisoners sentenced to long terms / 47 people released from the Shalit deal who were arrested again. / 445 Gazans arrested after October 7th. / Total of 602 prisoners in exchange for our 6 hostages.

Explosion in two parked, empty buses in Bat Yam, south of Tel Aviv. Another bomb was found on a bus in a bus parking lot near Wolfson Hospital in Holon (south of Tel Aviv). Third explosion on a bus in Bat Yam.

Minutes before the first bomb exploded, a passenger alerted the driver to a suspicious object wrapped in a bag in the back seat. The driver drove the bus to the terminal and unloaded all passengers.  Minutes later, the bus exploded while empty of passengers.

So far three buses have exploded and two other undetonated bombs were found in two other buses. Drivers of all buses across the country are now being asked to stop and conduct a thorough inspection. A MEGA TERROR ATTACK WAS PLANNED FOR TOMORROW. SOME OF THE BOMBS EXPLODED PREMATURELY. ALL OVER ISRAEL PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION IS ON HOLD!

HAMAS CLAIMS RESPONSIBILITY OVER THE BOMBS. CEASEFIRE?

The explosive devices found south of Tel Aviv were reportedly planned to explode simultaneously tomorrow morning causing hundreds of casualties! An initial investigation indicates that the charges are all identical and that they all have a timer set to activate tomorrow.

Another bomb was just found in the light train in Petach Tikva – east of Tel Aviv.

As of this moment, it is known that 15 buses were scheduled to explode in the Tel Aviv area, along with five suicide bombers who planned to detonate themselves on the light rail. According to security sources, this terrorist infrastructure originated in Judea and Samaria. This is the consequence of releasing murderous predators into the area while confidently assuming, ‘We’ll be able to manage.’ Only God protects this country.

The wasteful manager

The parable of the wasteful manager (Luke 16:1-13) is confusing. This is shown by the different headings of the Bible translations of this story.

The shocking part of the story is: ‘The master commended the dishonest manager for his shrewdness’.

We have to break down the story from the end. Verse 12 says: ‘And if you have not been faithful in that which is another’s, who will give you that which is your own?’

From taking wasteful, he switches to giving wasteful.

The more liberated we are from ourselves, the more God can entrust to us.

God’s mercy should become visible in us. It should be seen what we experience by God.

What matters is not what we have, but what friends we have.

So what is the secret of a good manager?

He does not revolve around himself, but puts himself in the position of his neighbour. He reaches out again and again. He does not allow himself to be instrumentalised, but builds friendships.

Tabita – The disciple of Jesus

Only once in the New Testament, in Act 9:36, is a woman literally referred to as a disciple.

When Tabita died, two men went to Lydda and asked Peter to come.

Peter has experienced something similar before. Back then in Capernaum, in the house of the synagogue ruler Jairus. At first it looked as if they had arrived too late. Jesus behaved in exactly the same way as Peter did now and first of all made sure there was calm. Jesus said to the dead woman: ‘Talita kum’ (get up girl) (Mark 5:40-41).

Peter must first talk to God. He does not simply pray for a miracle, but the miracle arises from the prayer. Then he will have said: ‘Tabita kum’.

We are always in danger of praying for something obvious instead of listening in prayer to what is on God’s heart at that moment.

This is how the first raising of the dead occurs among the followers of Jesus.

Peter stays in Joppa with Simon, a tanner. Tanners belonged to the unclean professions. Peter stays with just such a person. It is a clear statement: no one is excluded from the people of Jesus.

new reports on

Israel Gaza 2024

 

27.5.24

Monday morning, there was an unexpected exchange of fire between IDF forces and Egyptian army soldiers near the Rafah crossing. Reports on four Egyptian soldiers that were killed. According to the IDF the Egyptians opened fire first. No casualties reported on the Israeli side.

The area from which rockets were launched in Rafah towards Tel Aviv.
The Israeli army deliberately stayed out of this area because of the displaced and did not enter it, for humanitarian reasons. Hamas fired rockets from it.

Contrary to the claims of the Arabs – the killing of senior Hamas officials was carried out in the Rafah area, and not in the safe zone defined by the IDF. The place of execution of senior Hamas officials in Rafah is near UNRWA warehouses in the west of the city more than a kilometer away from the safe zone. And this is in contrast to the Arabs’ claims that the IDF bombing was in the safe zone

In the displaced tent in Rafah, several long-range missiles were found that exploded on them.

Jesus surprises us with eternal life

Jesus says: ‘Eternal life has already begun. Whoever comes to living faith has eternal life (John 6:47).

The surprising thing is that eternal life begins when we connect with Jesus.

We are not followers of Jesus in order to be with God one day. Rather, God wants to be with us and share life with us now. We are building a relationship with God now that will last for all eternity.

So our present life is not there to obtain eternal life with God. It is about divine life being revealed and experienced in the here and now.

Living with the vision of the coming kingdom

Jesus goes to the heavenly Father (Acts 1:9-11) and thus clears the way for the direct work of the Holy Spirit (John 16:7). The heavenly Father determines the time of his return (Acts 1:7).

With his ascension, Jesus has completed his first mission on earth. He has gone in the flesh to a real, otherworldly place. He promised to prepare dwellings there for his followers (John 14:2). Jesus has not vanished into a spirit world, but is seated at the right hand of the heavenly Father (Acts 7:56).

The two angels make it clear to the disciples that they should not dwell on the past, but live with the vision of the coming reign of God (Acts 1:11).  Continue reading Living with the vision of the coming kingdom

take stock

At the end of the year, we take stock.

Jesus once said: “For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul?” (Matthew 16:26).

This is where we draw up a profit and loss account and compare the two. What is profit? What is loss?

There is hope. One who balances the books. One who saves damaged souls and gives new life: Jesus Christ. He says: “Come to me, all who labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest“ (Matthäus 11,28). No matter what the balance of your life looks like at the moment.

Before the end of the year, it is good to take a time out, give God our loss, surrender to God and start into the new year with God’s help.

Rashi, a Jewish scholar, made it clear: “When a person is judged, he stands alone before his Creator. He has no one to whom he can transfer responsibility (for his actions) or to whom he can hold himself accountable for his mistakes.”

What matters is not where we stand, but in which direction we are moving.

A prophet greater than Moses

In the Torah, God promises a prophet like Moses (Deuteronomy 18,18-19). What this prophet says has a normative value. Anyone who does not keep his words will be called to account by God himself.

Moses is not yet the promised man who can defeat evil (Genesis 3,15). There are many prophets in the Jewish Bible (Tanakh / Old Testament), but none became as important a figure as Moses.

In Exodus 34,10-12, personal relationship with God, miracles and signs are listed as characteristics of Moses.

Jesus says of himself that he has a relationship with the heavenly Father like no other (John 10,30) and that he hears the voice of God (John 8,28). His close relationship with the heavenly Father enabled him to work miracles. He is the first since Moses to heal a Jewish leper (Mark 1,42). He feeds thousands with loaves and fishes (Mark 6 / 8). He calms the storm and thus, like Moses, has power over nature (Mark 4). The honour and will of God are more important to him than his own life (Matthew 26:39). He says: Whoever sees him sees the Father (John 14,9). He is a deeply humble man (Philippians 2). He met Elijah and Moses (Matthew 17,2-3).

Jesus is like Moses, even more so. He explains the context of the Scriptures to his disciples. His message is revolutionary. So Jesus, with his deep relationship with the heavenly Father and his miracles, is the prophet like Moses promised in Deuteronomy 18,18-19.

Life through a sacrifice

A strange story is told in Genesis 22: Abraham takes his son Isaac to Mount Moriah to sacrifice him at God’s command. At the last moment, God interrupts the event and provides Abraham with a sacrificial animal.

How can God command such a thing when He Himself has said: “Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man shall his blood be shed” (Genesis 9:6).

In Genesis 22, we read that Abraham trusted that he and his son would return: Continue reading Life through a sacrifice
