From
Dr. Mike Evans:
Last
year at the United Nations, my friend of more than 30 years, Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told a story that perfectly illustrates
the vital importance of the Jerusalem Prayer Team. As I prepare to
leave for Israel this week, I remembered his words, and I wanted to
share them with you today.
“Ladies and gentlemen, one cold day in the late 19th century, my grandfather Nathan and his younger brother Judah were standing in a railway station in the heart of Europe. They were seen by a group of anti-Semitic hoodlums who ran towards them waving clubs, screaming ‘Death to the Jews.’
“My grandfather shouted to his younger brother to flee and save himself, and he then stood alone against the raging mob to slow it down. They beat him senseless; they left him for dead; and before he passed out, covered in his own blood, he said to himself, ‘What a disgrace, what a disgrace. The descendants of the Maccabees lie in the mud, powerless to defend themselves.’
“He promised himself, then, that if he lived, he would take his family to the Jewish homeland and help build a future for the Jewish people. I stand here today as Israel's prime minister because my grandfather kept that promise.”

My
comments:
The
Jewish people have been persecuted more than perhaps any other
people. Why? Because they represent God's PROMISE to them. And
therefore they represent God. Satan hates God's PROMISE and the
Jewish people and all Christians and he rules this wicked, godless
world until Christ Jesus returns. When we defend the Jewish people we
are defending God's Word.
