The Church Is Israel, For Israel, By Israel:
Acts 7:38 King James Version (KJV)
38 This is he, that was in THE CHURCH IN THE WILDERNESS WITH THE ANGEL WHICH SPAKE TO HIM IN THE MOUNT SINA, AND WITH OUR FATHERS: WHO RECEIVED THE LIVELY ORACLES TO GIVE UNTO US:
“ AND WHEN THE DAY OF PENTECOST WAS FULLY COME, THEY WERE ALL WITH ONE ACCORD IN ONE PLACE.
2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
3 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.
4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
5 AND THERE WERE DWELLING AT JERUSALEM JEWS, DEVOUT MEN, OUT OF EVERY NATION UNDER HEAVEN.
7 And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans?
8 And how hear we EVERY MAN IN OUR OWN TONGUE, WHEREIN WE WERE BORN?
9 PARTHIANS, AND MEDES, AND ELAMITES, AND THE DWELLERS IN MESOPOTAMIA, AND IN JUDAEA, AND CAPPADOCIA, IN PONTUS, AND ASIA,
10 PHRYGIA, AND PAMPHYLIA, IN EGYPT, AND IN THE PARTS OF LIBYA ABOUT CYRENE, AND STRANGERS OF ROME, JEWS AND PROSELYTES,
11 CRETES AND ARABIANS, WE DO HEAR THEM SPEAK IN OUR TONGUES the wonderful works of God.
14 But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, >>>YE MEN OF JUDAEA, AND ALL YE THAT DWELL AT JERUSALEM<<<, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words:
15 For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day.
16 But this is that WHICH WAS >>>SPOKEN BY THE PROPHET JOEL (TO ISRAEL)<<<;
17 AND IT SHALL COME TO PASS IN THE LAST DAYS, SAITH GOD, I WILL POUR OUT OF MY SPIRIT UPON ALL FLESH: AND YOUR SONS AND YOUR DAUGHTERS SHALL PROPHESY, AND YOUR YOUNG MEN SHALL SEE VISIONS, AND YOUR OLD MEN SHALL DREAM DREAMS:
18 AND ON MY SERVANTS AND ON MY HANDMAIDENS I WILL POUR OUT IN THOSE DAYS OF MY SPIRIT; AND THEY SHALL PROPHESY:
21 AND IT SHALL COME TO PASS, THAT WHOSOEVER (TALKING TO ISRAEL) SHALL CALL ON THE NAME OF THE LORD SHALL BE SAVED.
22 YE MEN OF ISRAEL, HEAR THESE WORDS; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know:
36 THEREFORE LET ALL >>>THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL<<< KNOW ASSUREDLY, that God hath made the same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.
37 Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?
38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
39{{{>>>FOR THE PROMISE IS UNTO YOU, AND TO YOUR CHILDREN<<<}}}, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the LORD our God shall call.
41 THEN THEY THAT GLADLY RECEIVED HIS WORD WERE BAPTIZED: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand soul.
42 And they continued stedfasstly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.
47 Praising God, and having favour with all the people. AND THE LORD ADDED TO THE CHURCH DAILY SUCH AS SHOULD BE SAVED.” – Acts 2:1-5,7-11,14-18,21-22,36-39,41-42,49 KJV
The Bride Was Israel, Is Israel:
“ For thy Maker [is] THINE HUSBAND; THE LORD of hosts [is] his name; and thy Redeemer THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL; The God of the whole earth shall he be called.” – Isaiah 54:5 KJV
“ 2 And I John saw the holy city, NEW JERUSALEM, COMING DOWN FROM GOD OUT OF HEAVEN, PREPARED AS A BRIDE ADORNED FOR HER HUSBAND.
9 And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I WILL SHEW THEE THE BRIDE, THE LAMB'S WIFE.
10 And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, AND SHEWED ME THAT GREAT CITY, THE HOLY JERUSALEM, DESCENDING OUT OF HEAVEN FROM GOD,
11 Having the glory of God: and her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal;
12 And had A WALL GREAT AND HIGH, AND HAD TWELVE GATES, and at the gates twelve angels, AND NAMES WRITTEN THEREON, >>>WHICH ARE THE NAMES OF THE TWELVE TRIBES OF THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL<<<:
13 On the east three gates; on the north three gates; on the south three gates; and on the west three gates.
14 And the wall of the city had TWELVE FOUNDATIONS, AND IN THEM THE NAMES OF THE TWELVE APOSTLES OF THE LAMB.” – Revelation 21:2,9-13 KJV
The Assembly Is Israel:
“ 2 And the chief of all the people, even of ALL THE TRIBES OF ISRAEL, PRESENTED THEMSELVES IN THE ASSEMBLY OF THE PEOPLE OF GOD, four hundred thousand footmen that drew sword.” – Judges 20:2 KJV
The Covenant Is With The House of Judah and The House of Israel:
“ 6 But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also HE IS THE MEDIATOR OF A BETTER COVENANT, which was established upon better promises.
7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second.
8 For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, SAITH THE LORD, WHEN I WILL MAKE A NEW COVENANT WITH >>>THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL AND WITH THE HOUSE OF JUDAH<<<:
10 FOR THIS IS THE COVENANT THAT I WILL MAKE WITH >>>THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL<<< AFTER THOSE DAYS, SAITH THE LORD; I WILL PUT MY LAWS INTO THEIR MIND, AND WRITE THEM IN THEIR HEARTS: AND I WILL BE TO THEM A GOD, AND THEY SHALL BE TO ME A PEOPLE:
13 In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth OLD IS READY TO VANISH AWAY.” – Hebrews 8:9,10,13 KJV
Gentiles Salvation Is ALWAYS WITHIN The Assembly of ISRAEL:
Proselytes and Strangers:
“ 22 And it shall come to pass, that ye shall divide it by lot for an inheritance unto you, AND TO THE STRANGERS THAT >>>SOJOURN AMONG YOU<<<, WHICH SHALL BEGET CHILDREN >>>AMONG YOU<<<: AND THEY SHALL BE UNTO YOU AS BORN IN THE COUNTRY AMONG THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL; THEY SHALL HAVE INHERITANCE WITH YOU AMONG THE TRIBES OF ISRAEL.” – Ezekiel 47:22 KJV
“ 6 Also THE SONS OF THE STRANGER, THAT JOIN THEMSELVES TO THE LORD, TO SERVE HIM, and to love the name of the LORD, to be his servants, EVERY ONE THAT KEEPETH THE SABBATH FROM POLLUTING IT, AND TAKETH HOLD OF MY COVENANT;
7 Even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer: THEIR BURNT OFFERINGS AND THEIR SACRIFICES SHALL BE ACCEPTED UPON >>>MINE ALTAR<<<; for >>>MINE HOUSE<<< SHALL BE CALLED AN HOUSE OF PRAYER FOR ALL PEOPLE.
8 The Lord GOD, WHICH GATHERETH THE OUTCASTS OF ISRAEL SAITH, YET WILL I GATHER OTHERS TO HIM, beside those that are >>>GATHERED UNTO HIM<<<.” – Isaiah 56:6-8 KJV
” 42 And when the JEWS WERE GONE OUT OF >>>THE SYNAGOGUE<<<, THE GENTILES BESOUGHT THAT THESE WORDS MIGHT BE PREACHED TO THEM THE NEXT SABBATH.
43 Now when the congregation was broken up, many of THE >>>JEWS AND RELIGIOUS PROSELYTES<<< followed Paul and Barnabas: who, speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God.
44 AND >>>THE NEXT SABBATH DAY<<< CAME ALMOST THE WHOLE CITY TOGETHER TO HEAR THE WORD OF GOD.” – Acts 13:42-44 KJV
“ I say then, HATH GOD CAST AWAY HIS PEOPLE? GOD FORBID. FOR I ALSO AM AN ISRAELITE, OF THE SEED OF ABRAHAM, OF THE TRIBE OF BENJAMIN.
16 For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches.
17 AND IF SOME OF THE BRANCHES BE BROKEN OFF, AND THOU, BEING A WILD OLIVE TREE, WERT GRAFTED IN >>>AMONG THEM<<<, >>>AND WITH THEM<<< partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree;
26 AND SO ALL ISRAEL SHALL BE SAVED: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, AND SHALL TURN AWAY UNGODLINESS FROM JACOB:
27 FOR THIS IS MY COVENANT UNTO THEM, WHEN I SHALL TAKE AWAY THEIR SINS.” – Romans 11:1,16-17,26-27 KJV

Adonai
Rabbi Eliyahu
Rabi Eliyahu ben Abraham Mizrachi yang saleh, lahir di Konstantinopel, pada tahun 1450. Dia meninggal di sana pada usia sekitar 75 tahun.
Rabbi Eliyahu adalah murid Rabbi Eliyahu HaLevi, dan juga Rabbi Judah dari Padua.
Sebelum ia menjadi Kepala Rabbi di Konstantinopel, ia memimpin Yeshiva yang hebat. Dia punya banyak siswa yang diajarkannya Tradisi lisan dan Hukum Yahudi. Murid tertentu dia juga diajar aljabar dan astronomi.
Pada waktu itu, Rabi Kepala untuk Konstantinopel adalah Rabi Moshe, yang terkenal karena kesalehannya yang luar biasa. Meskipun Rabi Moshe hidup sangat sederhana, banyak berpuasa, dan membenci semua kenyamanan duniawi. Dia adalah perwakilan Yahudi resmi di Pengadilan Sultan, dan dia bertanggung jawab atas pengumpulan pajak yang harus dibayarkan oleh orang-orang Yahudi kepada sultan. Karna posisi itu ia memiliki banyak musuh, beberapa di antaranya berusaha menyingkirkannya dari posisinya. Mereka membuat fitnah tentang dia kepada Imam kepala di zaman itu, yaitu Rabi Joseph Kolon, yang otoritasnya diakui oleh orang Yahudi di mana-mana. Rabi Joseph Kolon, yang tampaknya disesatkan oleh saksi-saksi palsu, menulis surat kepada para pemimpin komunitas Yahudi di Konstantinopel, menginstruksikan mereka untuk tidak mengakui Rabbi Kepala mereka yang lama lagi, tetapi ia menghimbau untuk memilih Rabi lain di tempat itu dan Ia memilih Rabi Eliyahu Mizrachi sebagai pengganti. suasana pahit muncul antara Rabbi Moshe dan Rabi Joseph Kolon.
Rabi Eliyahu Mizrachi merasa bahwa Rabi Moshe yang saleh telah dianiaya, dan dia ingin membela, meskipun dia tahu bahwa jika Rabi Kepala dipecat, dia akan menjadi pilihan yang logis sebagai penggantinya. Namun, gurunya, Rabbi Judah dari Padua, menulis surat kepadanya, melarang kerasnya untuk ikut campur, dan dia tidak bisa melakukan apa pun kecuali mematuhinya. Pada waktunya, Rabi Joseph Kolon menyadari bahwa dia telah membuat kesalahan, dan kecurigaannya tidak berdasar, berdasarkan kesaksian palsu. Karena itu ia mengutus putranya, Rabbi Peretz ke Konstantinopel dan menyampaikan kepada Rabbi Moshe yang suci, penyesalan dan permintaan maaf yang rendah hati, dan untuk meminta pengampunan yang terakhir.
Dan juga Rabbi Peretz memohon kepada komunitas Yahudi agar kembali menerima Rabbi kepala mereka yang dulu.
Rabi Moshe memaafkan dengan sepenuh hati.
Ketika Rabbi Moshe Kapsali meninggal, pada tahun 1494, Rabi Eliyahu Mizrachi dipilih untuk menggantikannya sebagai Rabi Kepala Konstantinopel. Dia menduduki posisi mulia ini sampai kematiannya.
Seperti pendahulunya, Rabi Eliyahu adalah perwakilan resmi Yahudi di Pengadilan Sultan. Dalam kapasitasnya sebagai Rabbi Kepala. Rabbi Eliyahu adalah anggota dari Dewan Tertinggi, seperti juga Patriark Yunani, pemimpin umat Kristiani. Namun, posisi ini dihapuskan, setelah kematian Rabbi Eliyahu, atas permintaan orang Yahudi sendiri, terutama menantu Rabbi Eliyahu, Rabbi Meshulem.
Pada waktu itu banyak orang Karaite yang ingin mendekati Yudaisme. Selama ratusan tahun Karaite telah menjadi sekte terpisah, hanya percaya pada Hukum Tertulis tetapi tidak percaya kepada tradisi lisan. Banyak dari mereka telah berdebat dengan orang Yahudi, dalam upaya untuk "membenarkan" keyakinan mereka. Mereka membentuk komunitas mereka sendiri, rumah ibadah mereka sendiri, dan cara hidup religius mereka sendiri. Pada awalnya, Rabi Eliyahu, tidak akan ada hubungannya dengan mereka, karena mereka telah mengesampingkan diri mereka dari komunitas orang-orang Yahudi. Namun, kemudian, ketika dia melihat bahwa beberapa Karaite benar-benar dan dengan tulus ingin kembali ke rumah, Rabbi kepala dengan ramah dan mencoba untuk membantu mereka kembali.
Meanings of the Palestians
The Arabs, including the fake "Palestinians," continue their incitement against Israel in their schools, in their Mosques and in their official media. Israel does not exist on their maps and according to their beliefs; "Palestine" is Arab from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea! This is precisely the area of Israel!!
The Moslem/ Arabs started calling themselves “Palestinians” nearly 40 years ago. “Palestinian” refers to people who live in Palestine: Arabs (“Arabic speaking peoples”), Bedouins, Druze, Christians, and Jews. No people or nation ever ruled as a sovereign national entity on this land there is no Palestinian language or culture in past history. Palestine, as a country does not presently exist. No Arab nation has their historical roots on the land and no one have cl...aim to this territory other than the Jews. The Jewish rule of this land extended over a period of over 2000 years. Israel became a nation in the land in 1312 BC. God gave them the land in a covenant (Deuteronomy 29:1-30:20) and they lived there
This of course is also expressed in the PLO covenant. "The Palestinian Liberation Organization"! Just to remind some of us who may have forgotten, what PLO stands for; the PLO Covenant also states that accepting the "West Bank" in negotiations as an interim solution is acceptable in order to launch an attack from there to conquer the rest of the land!
The so-called Arab-Israeli conflict has been going on for so long that many have forgotten how it all started, and what it was all about.
We must remind ourselves that the "conflict is about conquest of Israel, no less!" and "FATAH" means conquest!!
There never was in all of recorded history, an Arab state called "Palestine" and there is no reason for it now. Stop this devious peace process now!!! Stop the transfer of any more terrorist murderers now(!) and stop the macabre celebration greeting these murderous jihadist criminals as heroes
Though the definite origins of the word "Palestine" have been debated for years and are still not known for sure, the name is believed to be derived from the Egyptian and Hebrew word peleshet. Roughly translated to mean "rolling" or "migratory," the term was used to describe the inhabitants of the land to the northeast of Egypt - the Philistines. The Philistines were an Aegean people - more closely related to the Greeks and with no connection ethnically, linguisticly or historically with Arabia - who conquered in the 12th Century BCE the Mediterranean coastal plain that is now Israel and Gaza.
A derivitave of the name "Palestine" first appears in Greek literature in the 5th Century BCE when the historian Herodotus called the area "Palaistinē" (Greek - Παλαιστίνη). In the 2nd century CE, the Romans crushed the revolt of Shimon Bar Kokhba (132 CE), during which Jerusalem and Judea were regained and the area of Judea was renamed Palaestina in an attempt to minimize Jewish identification with the land of Israel.
Under the Ottoman Empire (1517-1917), the term Palestine was used as a general term to describe the land south of Syria; it was not an official designation. In fact, many Ottomans and Arabs who lived in Palestine during this time period referred to the area as "Souther Syria" and not as "Palestine."
After World War I, the name "Palestine" was applied to the territory that was placed under British Mandate; this area included not only present-day Israel but also present-day Jordan.
Leading up to Israel's independence in 1948, it was common for the international press to label Jews, not Arabs, living in the mandate as Palestinians. It was not until years after Israeli independence that the Arabs living in the West Bank and Gaza Strip were called Palestinians. In fact, Arabs cannot even correctly pronounce the word Palestine in their native tongue, referring to area rather as“Filastin.”
ARAB OCCUPIERS "
NOT Palestinians, an Arab creation post 1967.
There is no Palestinian language.
There is only one language used by the Arab occupiers.
It is Arabic, the common language of nomadic Muslim invaders unlike Hebrew the language of the Jews and the national language of Israel and the Tanach.
There is no Jordanian language. It is Arabic.
* " LIBERATED TERRITORIES "
The term " Israeli occupied territories " is inaccurate and perpetuated in the world media also post 1967.
The indigenous natives of Israel alway were the Jews.
Jews can not be occupiers in their own land.
* " JERUSALEM "
Jerusalem is the capital of Israel NOT Tel Aviv.
If the the USA is an ally of Israel as it claims it is, then it's time the USA relocates it's embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem as a formal recognition.
* " SHALOSH REGALIM "
This is important.
The Jews' ANCESTRAL CONNECTION to Eretz Yisroel.
It reinforces the connection the Jews have to the land of Israel historically and demographically.
The Three Pilgrimage Festivals, known as the Shalosh Regalim (שלוש רגלים), are three major festivals in Judaism.
Pesach (Passover),
Shavuos (Weeks) and
Sukkos (Tents or Booths)
when the Israelites living in the Kingdom of Judah would make a pilgrimage to Jerusalem, as commanded by the Torah.
In Jerusalem, the Israelites would participate in festivities and ritual worship in conjunction with the services of the kohenim ("priests") at the Temple in Jerusalem.

Tisha B'Av (in Hebrew)
Tisha B'Av
Tisha B'Av (in Hebrew)
Significance: Remembers major communal tragedies
Observances: Fasting; reading the book of Lamentations
Length: 25 hours
Customs: Torah cabinet is draped in black
Five misfortunes befell our fathers ... on the ninth of Av. ...On the ninth of Av it was decreed that our fathers should not enter the [Promised] Land, the Temple was destroyed the first and second time, Bethar was captured and the city [Jerusalem] was ploughed up. -Mishnah Ta'anit 4:6
...Should I weep in the fifth month [Av], separating myself, as I have done these so many years? -Zechariah 7:3
In the fifth month, on the seventh day of the month ...came Nebuzaradan ... and he burnt the house of the L-RD... -II Kings 25:8-9
In the fifth month, on the tenth day of the month... came Nebuzaradan ... and he burnt the house of the L-RD... - Jeremiah 52:12-13
How then are these dates to be reconciled? On the seventh the heathens entered the Temple and ate therein and desecrated it throughout the seventh and eighth and towards dusk of the ninth they set fire to it and it continued to burn the whole of that day. ... How will the Rabbis then [explain the choice of the 9th as the date]? The beginning of any misfortune [when the fire was set] is of greater moment. -Talmud Ta'anit 29a
Tisha B'Av, the Fast of the Ninth of Av, is a day of mourning to commemorate the many tragedies that have befallen the Jewish people, many of which have occurred on the ninth of Av.
Tisha B'Av means "the ninth (day) of Av." It occurs in July or August.
Tisha B'Av primarily commemorates the destruction of the first and second Temples, both of which were destroyed on the ninth of Av (the first by the Babylonians in 586 B.C.E.; the second by the Romans in 70 C.E.).
Although this holiday is primarily meant to commemorate the destruction of the Temple, it is appropriate to consider on this day the many other tragedies of the Jewish people, many of which occurred on this day, most notably the expulsion of the Jews from Spain in 1492 and from England in 1290.1
1 The Alhambra Decree, issued March 31, 1492, ordered all Jews to leave Spain by the end of July 1492. July 31, 1492 was Tisha B'Av. The Edict of Expulsion from England was issued on July 18, 1290. Note that if you use a Jewish calendar converter to check this, it will probably show these dates as a few days before the 9th of Av. These expulsions occurred before the Gregorian calendar reform, which altered the way the secular calendar works, and converters don't take this into account, which causes the discrepancy.
I have recently heard some try to connect the Tisha B'Av to Kristallnacht, which began on the 9th of November, or to the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center. I think this is stretching the point a bit too far. Setting aside the question of whether you can find significance in secular dates that have the same numbers as significant Hebrew dates, or whether you can swap day and month, there is a much more serious problem: Av is not the 11th month of the Jewish calendar. This is clear from the biblical quotes above, which talk about Av as the 5th month. So where did people get the idea that Av is the 11th month? Probably by counting from Tishri, the month of Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year. But the Torah is very clear that months are counted from Nissan, not Tishri.
Tisha B'Av is the culmination of a three week period of increasing mourning, beginning with the fast of the 17th of Tammuz, which commemorates the first breach in the walls of Jerusalem, before the First Temple was destroyed. During this three week period, weddings and other parties are not permitted, and people refrain from cutting their hair. From the first to the ninth of Av, it is customary to refrain from eating meat or drinking wine (except on the Shabbat) and from wearing new clothing.
The restrictions on Tisha B'Av are similar to those on Yom Kippur: to refrain from eating and drinking (even water); washing, bathing, shaving or wearing cosmetics; wearing leather shoes; engaging in sexual relations; and studying Torah. Work in the ordinary sense of the word [rather than the Shabbat sense] is also restricted. People who are ill need not fast on this day. Many of the traditional mourning practices are observed: people refrain from smiles, laughter and idle conversation, and sit on low stools.
In synagogue, the book of Lamentations is read and mourning prayers are recited. The ark (cabinet where the Torah is kept) is draped in black.
Tisha B'Av is never observed on Shabbat. If the 9th of Av falls on a Saturday, the fast is postponed until the 10th of Av.
