Shabbat Sabbath

The idea that the earthly Jerusalem is an “eternal city” that will never be destroyed is a fallacy that blinds many Jews and Christians today and prevents them from having a clear Kingdom vision. Jeremiah’s prophetic act of smashing the old jar representing Jerusalem—“this people and this city,” Jeremiah 19:11—is seldom taught in Bible studies.

One of the main callings of John the Baptist was to inspect the “tree” of Judah to see if it could or would bear fruit (Matthew 3:8-10; Luke 3:9). After he was executed by Herod, Jesus took up the task, and it appears that this inspection was to take place over a period of three or four years. So near the end of Jesus’ ministry, we read…

Throughout the prophecy, we have seen a common theme, which is also common in the other Biblical prophets: that the children of Israel were about to suffer a great calamity, and were being cast off from the Kingdom and polity of Yahweh their God because of their sin, but that they had a promise of a later reconciliation in Christ.

The writing of the book of Zechariah the prophet can be dated rather accurately to begin about 520 BC, during the reign of the Persian king known as Darius the Great. Zechariah was one of three post-captivity prophets whose writing we have in our Bibles. The others are Haggai and Malachi.

Israeli missile strikes on the Syrian capital’s airport Monday killed four people including two soldiers and closed the runways for several hours, a rights monitor said.

This is the second time in less than seven months that Damascus International Airport — where Iranian-backed armed groups and Lebanese Hezbollah fighters are present — has been hit by Israel.

In the wake of National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir ascending to the Temple Mount to commemorate the Tenth of Tevet on Tuesday, the Return to the Mount activist group petitioned the minister to permit the Biblical Passover offering at Judaism’s holiest site. 

Rafael Morris, the head of Return to the Mount, told Israel365 News that there is actually strong grassroots support for reinstating the Passover offering on the Temple Mount.

“We have lots of people, private and even in the government, that support this quietly but who are scared to say so in public,” Morris said. “And there’s no reason why we shouldn’t do it.”

Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI, the Bavarian-born theologian whose conservative Roman Catholicism earned him the nickname “God’s Rottweiler,” and who shocked his flock by suddenly resigning the papacy after just eight years, died Saturday, the Vatican said.

He was 95.

Benedict was the longest-living pope, having surpa ssed Pope Leo XIII in September 2020.
