Will Judah and Israel Go into Captivity Again?

(Copyright) by Rhoda Foust (Lehigh Acres, Florida)  What caused Judah and Israel to go into captivity? Was it not Yahweh’s command? De 4:19 And lest thou lift up thine eyes unto heaven, and when thou seest the sun, and the moon, and the stars, [even] all the host of heaven, shouldest be driven to worship them, and serve them, which Yahweh thy Elohim hath divided unto all nations under the whole heaven. Did they do just that? Jer 8:2 And they shall spread them before the sun, and the moon, and all the host of heaven, whom they have loved, and whom they have […]

The 2-State – Non-Solution – in Israel

by Richard Frates (Easley, South Carolina)  Palestinians seeking their own state in the West Bank and Gaza in Israel, with the help of the United Nations, is just an attack on Israel. And the so called “peace process” by the world nations, is an attack on Israel. A 2-state solution between Israel and the Palestinians is insane, unless the following conditions exist. When conditions and the attitudes of Muslims and Palestinians, change to the point that they obey God and “love their neighbors as themselves” Matthew 22:37-40; and Jewish families can live safely in Gaza and the Palestinian controlled areas of […]

Captivities of Israel and Judah

(Copyright) by BibleStudy.org (Farmington, Michigan)  When did the Kingdoms of Israel and Judah go into captivity? Why did God send them out of the land he gave them? Where did they settle after leaving their captors? Long before being taken into captivity, Israel existed as a unified kingdom under Saul (reigned from 1050 to 1010 B.C.), King David (1010 – 970) and Solomon (970 – 930). Soon after the death of Solomon, however, the Kingdom of Israel divided into two separate pieces with each possessing their own line of rulers. Ten of the tribes formed the Northern Kingdom (also known as the Kingdom of Israel in the Bible) […]

The Feasts of Israel and the Church

by Avram Yehoshua (Flagstaff, Arizona)  The use of many of the Feasts of Israel in Acts and First Corinthians, and them as time markers, reveals that the Apostles continued to celebrate them all their lives. The Church teaches that the Feasts were ‘done away with’ at the crucifixion, and therefore, Christians don’t keep them, but NT Scripture clearly reveals otherwise: 1.  Acts 2:1  30 AD—The Feast of Weeks (Hebrew: Shavu’ot—Pentecost; Ex. 34:22; Dt. 16:9-10)2.  Acts 12:3            44 AD—The Feast of Unleavened Bread (Ex. 12:8, 15f.; 23:15; 34:18; Lev. 23:6f)3.  Acts 12:4            44 AD—Passover (Ex. 12:11, 27; Lev. 23:5f.; Num. 9:5; 28:16; […]
