Today, our tool is the education and the recollection, seeking that the new generations know the event and we be able to guarantee that never again this will come back to occur. In 27 of January of 1945, the Soviet army entered and liberated Auschwitz, the most greatest field of extermination and concentration built by the nazis. The image was shocking. The evidence of the extermination massive sprouted for all of the sides. The Germans had destroyed the majority of the deposits in the field, but in the that had, the Soviets found clear consequences of the cruelty: thousands of corpses without cremate and over 7000 kg of human hair. The survivors, that however were there, that obtained to survive, were limited the skin and bones. A handful of lives could have been trays of the criminal hands of the nazis, that already had murdered over six millions of Jews. His the people that entered us fields could not believe in what eyes witnessed. The own one Dwight Eisenhower, general of the army of the United States, upon visiting the first concentration camp liberated by his troop, Ohrdruf Nord, ordered that photographed everything for be assured that never went forgot the depth of the nazi horror. "The things that I saw, are indescribable", commented the general facing thousands and thousands of corpses that showed up the horror. With the same spirit of guarantee to the new generations that the world does not come back it live a similar extermination, the United Nations voted itself, and by unanimity, the date of 27 of January was established like the International Day in Memory to the Victims of the Holocaust. Facing the memory, to the recollection and to the education, if search avoid new genocides. The resolution urges to the States members it will elaborate educational programs that include the education of the Holocaust. Besides, it rejects all denial of that historical fact and condemns the manifestations of religious intolerance, incitement, siege or violence against people or communities based in his ethnic or his origin beliefs. Each 27 of January, the different countries of the world cause to end celebrations that, in his majority, count on the presence of survivors, and of the presidents, ministers, you will parley of the countries, everybody committed with recollect and educate to the more young. There are some weeks, the Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad visited the Latin America. The present spokesman of the denial of the Holocaust, promoter of slaughters and abuses to the Human Rights and instigator of the "disappearance" of a State member of the United Nations, well was received by presidents of countries of our region, motive that it must concern us so much. The denial of this worst thing will only permit that itself make news atrocities. Today, our tool is the education and the recollection, seeking that the new generations know the event and that we be able to guarantee the similar thing never come back to occur. I hope, the international community have learned how about Auschwitz, and like this, through the memory and the education, we avoided new genocides and that we be able to build a supportive, fair world and in peace.

Dear Friend,
This is no surprise to me or anyone who has been paying attention (yet somehow the media is shocked), but the Palestinians have no interest in peace, and they just proved it again.
After a series of meetings in Amman, Jordan, as laid out by the Quartet for Middle East Peace (the U.S., UN, EU and Russia), the Palestinians have declared the peace proposals dead on arrival. They are especially upset because Israel continues to (correctly) maintain that Jerusalem is the capital city of the Jewish state and will remain under Israeli control.
This is crucial to the spiritual battle taking place. Satan wants the Holy City. He declared in Isaiah 14 that he would rule the world from the “sides of the north”—an ancient reference to Jerusalem and the Temple Mount. The Holy City MUST NOT be divided. It is critical to Israel’s survival…it is critical to God’s prophetic plan for the world…and we need to be doing everything we can to support the Jewish people and defend the city of Jerusalem.
I am on a God-ordained fast today for Prime Minister Netanyahu, the nation of Israel, and for you, my beloved partner. I am asking God for supernatural provision. This is the Word of the Lord for you today:
My soul, wait silently for God alone, For my expectation is from Him.
He only is my rock and my salvation; He is my defense; I shall not be moved.
In God is my salvation and my glory; The rock of my strength, And my refuge, is in God.
Trust in Him at all times, you people; Pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us. Selah
(Psalm 62:5-8, NKJV)
Please stop right now and join me in praying a blessing over every Jerusalem Prayer Team member as we stand together in defense of Israel.
God has called you and me to be watchmen for the city of Jerusalem and the nation of Israel. As we see Israel facing threats on every side, we must be more diligent than ever to stand with and support the Jewish people. I am so heavily burdened today—we need to see God work to deliver Israel from destruction…nothing else can stop the tide of evil and darkness surging toward the Jewish state. Will you stand with me on the walls of Jerusalem today?
| And Mordecai told them to answer Esther: “Do not think in your heart that you will escape in the king's palace any more than all the other Jews. For if you remain completely silent at this time, relief and deliverance will arise for the Jews from another place, but you and your father's house will perish. Yet who knows whether you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this?” (Esther 4:13&14) |
| When you send your gift of $15 or more to help the Jerusalem Prayer Team defend Israel “for such a time as this,” we will send you a copy of my book GameChanger about the threat of a nuclear attack on America and Israel. If you are able to send a gift of $30 or more, we will send both GameChanger and my new book The Samson Option, the sequel to GameChanger. READ CHAPTER ONE OF THE SAMSON OPTION |  |
 | During the darkest days of the Yom Kippur War in 1973, Prime Minister Golda Meir considered using Israel’s nuclear weapons to stave off destruction. Could it happen again? If you send a gift of $80 or more, we will send you a softcover copy of GameChanger plus an autographed hardback copy of The Samson Option. Please be as generous as you can when you send your gift today. |
Barukh atah Adonai eloheinu melekh ha-olam, ozier Yisrael bigvurah. Blessed art thou, Lord our God, King of the universe, who girds Israel with might.
Your ambassador to Jerusalem,
Dr. Michael Evans

New 3:
The battle between the ultra-Orthodox Jews and the rest of Israel's population is raging. "Kfiya Datit" - Religious Coercion is one of the most hated subjects to an average Israeli - especially those of this generation.
While the ultra-Orthodox don't serve in the IDF, don't work and contribute little to society, they receive billions in governmental aid and try to conform everyone to live by their rules and standards, which, Yeshua said, they themselves are not able to keep.
So as recent attacks by the ultra-Orthodox are escalating, average citizens all across Israel are starting to make a stand for their freedom. Of course, the Messianic Jews have already been experiencing these attacks for years, and the rest of Israel is just now catching up with the phenomenon. But at least they get it now....
In the midst of that Israel is in the constant turmoil of facing a war - whether from Egypt, which just elected the radical Islamists to head up their government, and who are threatening to annul the peace treaty with Israel, or from Iran, who might be less than a year away from nuclear capability.
Needless to say, Israel needs salvation!

NEW YEAR CELEBRATION AT TIFERET YESHUA
This has become a great tradition for Israel's Messianic youth and young adults. On New Year's Eve, December 31, they gather together at Tiferet Yeshua Congregation, coming from all across Israel, to have a night of Praise and Worship.
Because the opportunities to meet together are so rare (Israelis only have one day of rest a week), each time we can get together and be in unity - it's a special treat for everyone.
And, of course, what can be better than starting the New Year off in fellowship with the God of Israel? Definitely nothing!
SPECIAL MEDIA SEMINAR
Our Tel Aviv staff has had a special treat this month. A young man from California, who is a top editor and producer of videos, was invited by Ari and Shira to share his knowledge.
He gave us a 3-day seminar on how to make production more efficient as well as on how to work on scripts to make them more interesting.
The producer also helped each of the staff to learn basics of other sides of the production which are usually not a part of the person's field of expertise.
It was very enlightening and encouraging time for our team. We are praying for God to grow this seed that was implanted so we can realize the ability to stretch our capabilities and talents without limits.

MAOZ FEBRUARY NEWSLETTER
The February Maoz Israel Report centers around the ultra-Orthodox Jews in Israel.Because this issue is very hot on the burner, and because some of our readers might not yet realize the full extent of the battle and the religious spirits behind it, Shira wrote two excellent articles which examine two sides of this community.
One is the complete and total submission to the rulings of rabbis regarding anything and everything in their lives, and the desire to make everyone else conform to their image and behavior.
The other is a glimpse into their world and why they choose to completely disengage from modern society.
In addition, the newsletter reminds you - and us - that there are woderful people who labor together with this ministry in various countries without which we simply would not exist.
Look for our February Maoz Israel Report in your email Inbox soon!
God protects and blesses the Jews and Israel!
Shalom!
