o
Greetings from Ksalon, Martyrs forest.
This forest is dedicated to all Jewish Martyrs throughout history.
Jews have suffered mainly because the Word is given to them.
They have also been unyielding to the God of Israel.
Through Israel, mankind has received the Saviour.
We stand beside the Scroll of Fire monument.
Jeremiah writes how the Word of the Lord was like fire in his bones.
He tried not to speak as the mouth of the Lord, but -
-it was like Fire burning in his bones and he could not keep quiet.
This monument represents the iniquity Jews have suffered.
Hating Jews is satans attack against Gods salvation plan.
The root of antisemitism is satans hatred of Gods salvation plan.
Inside the monument there is the text from Ezekiel 37:5-6
It is both in Hebrew and in English. It reads 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 next verse 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.
But there was no breath or spirit.
"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;
-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 a great host of Jews who have suffered.
The spirit of Haman tried to destroy the Jews at the time of Esther and-
-and Mordechai. Their yielding to God of Israel saved Jews.
In the same area, modern Iran, the spirit of Haman still lives.
Iran develops nuclear weapon to destroy Israel and the Jews.
President Ahmedinejad has sworn to wipe out Israel from the map.
But Word of the Lord is mighty. Iranians are being saved to Jesus.
Iranians go to mosques 30 % less than before.
Young Iranians thirst for the gospel. So we have to preach it.
We have to proclaim the truth about Israel in media.
We will not enter the stream of antisemitic rubbish.
We have been chosen, like Esther, - for such a time as this.
If we keep silent, relief shall arise for the Jews elsewhere.
We will open our mouth for the dumb.
The Lord will bless those who bless Israel.
It was the promise given to Abraham.
Who curses the Jews, them the Lord will curse.
"Bârak" means to bless. The word for "curse" is strong.
It means to mock, belittle, scorn the Jews.
It is an emotional word. Whoever "despises" the Jews -
-that one the Lord will destroy.
The same word God uses in Genesis 3, where satan is cursed.
The Lord will fight against those nations who curse Israel.
Why does God protect Jews? -God protects 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- to Finland.
I now refer to the strong words in Obadiah.
Right now when Israel is in distress, Obad.12:
"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 the survivors in the day of ruin.
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- back to the Jews.
