As I mentioned on September 11th, rockets had been fired into Israel from Lebanon, in the region of Tyre (Tyre is mentioned in several places in the Bible). Haaretz.com recently announced that Al Qaida is claiming responsibility for the bombing.
On a related note, a new bin Laden tape has been released, although Reuters has [...]

According to Israeli newspaper Haaretz.com, Israel’s patience with Iran is running out. September could be a critical month, as Israel is not intending on allowing Iran to ever get nuclear weapons. Remember, an Israeli attack on Iran will probably increase the cost of oil, hurting the US economy.
Should Israel strike, the world will [...]

While America is focusing on health care, Joe Wilson, and other domestic matters, Israel continues to be a story under the radar.
Earlier this week, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu disappeared for most of the day. He didn’t tell anybody where he was going, not even his media [...]

Earlier this summer, a cargo ship that was headed to Iran was hijacked. Mossad, the Israeli intelligence force, claims that this ship was carrying Russian missiles that were headed to Iran. The official explanation from Russia was that the ship was carrying timber.
Both Russia and Iran play important roles in the end times, [...]

A couple of days ago, I wrote about how our national debt, oil, and Israel attacking Iran might be our downfall. The national news hasn’t been covering Israel and Iran much lately, as our domestic problems, H1N1, and health care are taking center stage. Fortunately, Google allows us to search for developments in [...]

I was reading Isaiah 37-39 today, which deals mainly with King Hezekiah.
Assyria had sent an Army to conduct a military assault on Israel. Their leader, the Rabshakeh, was mocking them and their God. “The gods of other countries didn’t keep me from overtaking them! And anyway, didn’t you just tear down your [...]

When the Israelites were entering the promised land, Moses warned them not to be foolish and get involved with the practices that the idolatrous nations in the land were. He told them that one day they would be prosperous… that they would have houses that they did not build, wells that they did not [...]

I was reading Deuteronomy 1 and 2 and I came up with two thoughts:
1) In Deuteronomy 1, Moses is having trouble governing all the people. So they chose a bunch of people to be leaders of thousands, leaders of hundreds, leaders of fifties, and leaders of tens.
Don’t we have a similar government (ideally) in [...]

I was reading about the Israelites in the wilderness, and it was pretty interesting. I really like my new Life Application Bible, it’s got some great maps and notes.
I always thought that it was unfair that Moses didn’t get to go into the promised land; that God wouldn’t let him go because he hit [...]

I just got the Life Application Bible that I ordered last week from Christian Book Distributors, and I got to reading, and having a nice study Bible has already paid off. This one Psalm written by Moses, Psalm 90, really struck me:
Return, O Lord!
How Long?
And have compassion on your servants.
Psalm 90:13
Most of us Christians [...]
