o
Greetings from Ksalon, Martyrs forest.
This forest is dedicated to all Jewish martyrs through centuries.
Jews have suffered mainly because God's Word was given to them, -
-but they have also rebelled against the God of Israel.
Through Israel, mankind has received the Saviour, the Messiah.
We stand beside the Scroll of Fire monument.
Jeremiah writes how God's Word burnt like fire in his bones.
He wanted to stop acting as the mouth of the Lord, but -
-fire was burning in his bones, and he could not keep quiet.
This monument represents the iniquities Jews have suffered.
Hate for Jews, antisemitism, is satans attack against -
Gods salvation plan for all mankind.
Inside the monument there is text from Ezekiel 37:5-6.
It is written both in Hebrew and in English, as follows:
Thus says the Lord God to these bones: "Behold, I will cause breath-
and spirit to enter you, and you shall live;
and I will bring flesh upon you and cover you with the skin-
-and you shall live; and you shall know that I am the Lord."
The verse which follows is crucial for us spirit-filled believers:
"I prophesied as I was commanded; as I prophesied, there was noise-
and behold, a shaking and the bones came together, bone to its bone."
Flesh and skin covered the bones, but there was no breath.
"Then Lord said: Prophesy to the Spirit, Son of man, say to the
Spirit. Thus says the Lord God: Come from the four winds, O spirit,
and breath upon these slain that they may live. So I prophesied,
and Spirit came into, and they lived and stood upon their feet,
exceedingly great host." There verily is an exceedingly -
great host of Jews, righteous martyrs who have suffered.
The spirit of Haman tried to destroy the Jews at the time of -
Esther and Mordechai. Their determination to yield to -
God of Israel saved Jews from destruction.
In the same area, modern Iran, the spirit of Haman is still alive.
Iran develops nuclear weapon to destroy Israel and the Jews.
President Ahmadinejad swears to wipe out Israel from the map.
But Word of the Lord is victorious! Iranians get saved to Jesus.
Iranians go to mosques 30 % less than before.
Young Iranians thirst for gospel. We have to preach it.
We have to proclaim the truth about Israel in media.
We must not enter the stream of antisemitic rubbish.
We have been chosen like Esther, for such a time as this.
If we keep silent, relief for Jews will come from elsewhere.
We must open our mouth for the dumb.
The Lord will bless those who bless Israel.
It was the promise given to Abraham.
But who curses Israel, the Lord will curse them.
"Bârak" means to bless. The word used "to curse" means -
to mock, belittle, or to scorn Israel.
It is an emotional word.
Such people the Lord will destroy.
The same word is used in Genesis 3, as satan is crushed.
The Lord will crush the nations which curse Israel.
God protects Israel in this way because of His salvation plan.
Isaiah 49: "It is too light a thing to restore the survivors Israel;
I will also give You for a light, so My salvation will extend to the end-
of the earth - up to Finland.
I now refer to Obadiah, a strong Word.
Even now Israel is in distress. From Obadiah 12 on:
"You shouldnt have gloated over your brothers day, the day-
when his misfortune came, or rejoiced over the people of Yhudah
You shouldnt have spoken arrogantly nor entered the gate
of My people in the day of their ruin; you should not have gloated
over their suffering or laid hands on their treasure in the day of
their ruin neither you shouldnt have delivered up their survivors
in the day of trouble. For the day of the Lord is near
upon all the nations. As You have done it shall be done to you, -
your dealings will return upon your head."
You and I belong to those who pray for the peace of Jerusalem.
The Lord has given us the ministry of reconciliation, -
to bring the Holy Spirit and Messiah Yeshua to the Jews.
