The Time of Jacob’s Crisis
Tuesday, August 11th, 2009论述”雅各遭难的时候”是个吃力不讨好的苦差。追溯以色列和犹太人的愁苦（其实也是预言以色列和犹太人的未来）的这个过程是痛苦的，尽管以色列和它的子民可能会觉得被冒犯，教会应让人理解这样的观点，以色列最终才会真正地成为耶和华的以色列。因为不单是以色列的雅各会遭受这样的磨难，地球上任何一个角落的雅各也难逃此劫。现在不是政治上以色列有难，现在是”雅各”有难的时代。现时的以色列就是雅各，而且也不光是世上的雅各而已。身为教会，应让人们都理解到，上帝的炼火，对我们城市、国家里的”雅各”来说，无一能赦免。
The Church’s Identification with Israel
Friday, December 26th, 2008I want to quote some Jewish sources to give a sense of the heightened awareness in the Jewish community of imponderables, of things happening now that are almost beyond their grasp, triggered by this unexpected outbreak of hostilities in Lebanon (2006). I am reading from a Jewish publication called The Forward. One of the principal […]
Abraham’s Ascent – The Necessity of Every Believer
Sunday, August 31st, 2008In Oswald Chamber’s devotional My Utmost for His Highest for April 26, entitled “The Supreme Climb,” we read: The great point of Abraham’s faith in God was that he was prepared to do anything for God. He was there to obey God, no matter to what belief he went contrary. Strange that one’s beliefs about […]
Le Faux Prophète
Monday, July 7th, 2008(Extraits du livre: The Prophetic Call) Au chapitre 23 du livre de Jérémie, Dieu fait une déclaration intéressante à propos des vrais et des faux prophètes. Vous parlez d’une accusation! C’est une chose de porter une accusation contre Israël, mais lorsque vous commencez à accuser les prophètes d’Israël, lorsque les meilleures choses, les plus hautes […]
L'Éternité
Monday, July 7th, 2008Israël est une clé pour l’interprétation des Écritures; c’est une des clés de la foi. Perdre le sens du destin millénaire et éternel d’Israël, c’est perdre le sens de l’éternité elle-même.
Israel y el Tiempo de Angustia para Jacob
Saturday, July 5th, 2008Tengo la indeseable tarea de dar una perspectiva acerca de lo que las Escrituras llaman, “El tiempo de Angustia para Jacob”. Es un doloroso estudio de la devastación y sufrimiento, aún futuro, para Israel y el pueblo judío, pero yo creo que la Iglesia necesita que esta perspectiva sea introducida en su conciencia, para que […]
Una Vision De Los Ultimos Tiempos
Saturday, July 5th, 2008Estos son los últimos días, y tengo una perspectiva de la fe que puede ser llamada “apocalíptica”. Apocalíptico significa “revelación”, pero está acompañado de violencia, caos, desorden, colisiones entre la luz y las tinieblas, y del sacudimiento de todo aquello que puede ser sacudido. Será un tiempo convulsivo, muy semejante un nacimiento. Saliendo se ese […]
Apocalyptic Eschatology
Monday, May 26th, 2008I have an outline of certain last days’ events, but there is no way that I can adhere to a linear statement or discussion. You will find that I will keep coming back to certain themes in the interweaving of strands that make up the whole. These are the last days, and I have a […]
Psalm 96 – Bringing the Future into the Present
Monday, April 14th, 2008How would you label this psalm? What kind of a psalm is it? Does it celebrate the God of Israel’s past? Is it speaking of the present? Is it an eschatological psalm that speaks of the eternal future? My sensing is that it is definitely the future. Can you picture this psalm being sung in […]
Psalm 53 and Israel – A Prophetic Reflection
Tuesday, April 8th, 2008A further reflection on the Palestinian crisis. Fools say in their hearts, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, they commit abominable acts: there is no one who does good. So does this Psalm of David commence from its first verse with the same kind of thunderclap introduction as Beethoven’s mighty Fifth Symphony! It startles […]
The Church’s Mandate to their Nation
Saturday, April 5th, 2008An edited version of a transcribed message by Art Katz, given to a Messianic congregation in Tel Aviv, Israel in March 2002. The church in every nation has an obligation to represent something of God to the nation itself, to bring a particular perspective to the nation’s consciousness, which for the lack of a […]
Beyond Categories
Wednesday, March 26th, 2008The Lord is looking for a virginal first-fruits company that will follow the Lamb withersoever He goes, and in these last days, this ‘withersoever’ is going to bring us to places we never could have imagined and where we ourselves would balk, like Peter when he said, “Let this be far from You, Lord.”
Israel and the Apocalypse: A Key of Interpretation
Tuesday, March 25th, 2008With the message of Israel, my inmost being is called into participation of a radical kind as it brings a corrective against soulish counterfeits and lesser alternatives in the earnestness of what is at stake.
The Nations in Relation to God
Monday, March 24th, 2008We are all familiar with the Scripture, “The earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof, and the nations and those that dwell therein.” We have quoted this Scripture many times, but we have not really believed it, and have therefore allowed the nations to indulge themselves in their independence as if they have no obligation to God.
In the Year of King Uzziah’s Death
Thursday, March 13th, 2008The present state of Israel, like the “prophet mighty in word and deed,” like King Uzziah himself, is God-given, but given in order to be taken away!
Judaism and the Resurrected Life
Monday, March 3rd, 2008Any believer who lives presently unto the Lord, and for the Lord, out of the abundance of Life in Christ Jesus, demonstrates to the yet unbelieving Jew [or Gentile], like the Apostle Paul, the millennial mode of life of a future, restored Israel.
Israel in the Prophets
Sunday, March 2nd, 2008Another probing examination from the O.T. Prophets on the subject of Israel’s destiny. Includes an insightful interpretation of Isaiah 52 and 53.

Sunday, March 2nd, 2008A message spoken in Bad Nauheim, Germany (with translation) at a strategic conference on Jewish Evangelism.
Rom. 9 – 11: The Mystery of Israel
