A group of Messianic Believers in Israel issued the following letter, appealing to raise support to Israel.


Dear Brothers and Sisters,

Tuesday was Holocaust Rememberance Day. As the Church was silent 60 years ago, most of the church is silent today.

We are in a fight for our lives and with each passing day the world comes against us with more venom and hatred. There is a lying spirit at work in the world and in your nation that is demonizing Israel and perversly calling Palestinian terrorists innocent victims. We are fighting not only demonized flesh but powers and principalities, the father of lies.

The world is much more concerned with Yasser Arafat's welfare than with the 130 innocent victims of suicide bombers in March alone. We are bleeding and yet we are accused of being the evil ones.

In the way that you express love to us, pray for us and give to Israel and the Body, you have shown your friendship to us. You have repented for your people's sins against the Jewish people 60 years ago and over the past 2000 years, but what are you doing practically today to help us in this life and death battle?

We thank you for your prayers, however prayer and kind words are not enough in the desperate situation we are in today.

We need you not only to pray but to stand up, speak up and make your voices heard in your nation. There is an initiative in Germany for the spiritual leaders of that nation to publish a full page letter of support for Israel and calling on their government to stand with Israel in it's hour of need. We would recommend this initiative to your nation as well.

In the USA there will be a march of support for Israel in Washington DC on Monday, this too is a good way to demonstrate to your government and your people where you stand.

We need your help TODAY.

At the start of our present military campaign, 31,000 reservist received what is called a " Zav Shmone". This an emergency mobilization order. It does not give the reservist a week to get his house in order, but hours to report for duty in a life and death struggle.

We cannot issue you a Zav Shmone, but it is our heart's cry to you and we believe it is the Lord's as well.

Colin Powell is on his way here to break Arafat out of his isolation and bring in International "peace keepers" to Israel. We need your help now!

Also, as a witness to the People of Israel, they need to know that there is a people called Christians who do not hate us but are willing to stand with us in this dark hour.

Please take this appeal to heart and to the Lord. If He bears witness to it, do something NOW.
