I strongly agree Yohanan! TR Bible’s Reliability Further Affirmed as King Hezekiah Inscription Deciphered: A broken portion of an engraving on a limestone tablet the size of your palm (see photo below) is adding yet further confirmation to the biblical account and giving a new twist on how Israel’s kings saw themselves. The partial inscription engraved in ancient Hebrew letters was originally reported in 2008, but was not deciphered until recently. The letters on the inscription are only fragments of words, with the rest of the letters having been broken off. When found, the artifact was near an ancient man-made pool together with pottery shards dating to the 8th century BC. However, at the time the Israel Antiquities Authority did not make a conclusive connection between the inscription, King Hezekiah and the pool. Now two mainstream Israel archaeological experts, Gershon Galil and Eli Shukron, have concluded that the full inscription was: “Hezekiah made the pool in Jerusalem.” Not so many years ago, skeptical archaeological minimalists were claiming only minor evidence had been found for the reliability of the Bible. However, year by year those claims are increasingly being shown to have been premature and mistaken. “The Israeli kings were indeed mentioned in extra-biblical Assyrian, Babylonian, Aramaic, Moabite inscriptions as well as on Hebrew seal impressions – but this is the first time that a fragment of a monumental Hebrew royal inscription has been deciphered that mentions the name of the king whose achievements were detailed in it. The discovery strengthens the approach of researchers who emphasize the reliability of the Bible, since it teaches that right in front of the eyes of the Bible’s authors stood monuments with royal inscriptions… [engraved at the very] time of the kings mentioned in the Bible." Benjamin Netanyahu warns of new 'pernicious' form of antisemitism, reveals behind-the-scene details of Middle East peace deals with Donald Trump, being 'disrespected' by Barack Obama in wide-ranging Glenn Beck interview (snippets only): Netanyahu was promoting his new memoir titled "Bibi: My Story." "With staff present, he made it clear that the U.S. would not tolerate further stalling or obstructions in the peace process, leaving no doubt which party he thought was responsible for such things," Netanyahu wrote in his new memoir. The Times of Israel reported, "Netanyahu says he felt the president engaged in 'a premeditated shock-and-awe' effort to make clear that past pressures on Israeli leaders on issues pertaining to the Middle East conflict 'would pale in comparison to the ones that would be applied to me.'" "The prime minister of Israel was being treated as a minor thug in the neighborhood," the book read. Obama allegedly instructed Netanyahu in private, "I expect you to immediately freeze all construction in the areas beyond the 1967 borders. Not one brick!" Obama then purportedly boasted, "You know, people often underestimate me. But I come from Chicago, where I had to deal with tough opponents." Recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel: Netanyahu told Trump, "I said, 'Look, I don't see it . . .'" "Anyway he decided luckily or gratefully that he would declare Jerusalem as Israel's capital, and of course, nothing of the kind that was described happened," he said. Netanyahu said the move was a "great moment," and Trump "punctured this myth and frankly finally punctured this lie" that Jerusalem couldn't be recognized as the capital of Israel.

Such shall be my wages." Genesis 30:32 The Israel Bible The flock of Jacob’s Sheep has arrived at the next stop in their journey home: Beit El, the house of God, the scene of Jacob’s prophetic dream of a ladder connecting heaven and earth. And for the first time, a pair of rams can now be viewed by the public. In 2017, a flock of a rare breed of Jacob’s Sheep arrived in Israel from western Canada. But after arriving in the Holy Land, the flock was unable to find a permanent home. Last year, the flock was taken under new management with the intention of maintaining the rare breed. Despite the extraordinary efforts of the previous owners, Jenna and Gil Lewinsky, the flock dwindled from 119 to about 50 head. Naama Rue, who is managing the herd, explained that the herd is in need of rejuvenation. “The situation was dire one year ago but it is getting better,” she told Israel365 News. “They are being raised in an undisclosed location. We are working to make sure they are being cared for properly and getting the necessary medical attention. When the Ministry of Agriculture gave permission to bring them to Israel, it was for the purpose of maintaining this rare heritage breed for the diversity of livestock.” “There are only about 20,000 purebred Jacob’s Sheep in the world,” she said. According to breed aficionados, the sheep originated in the north of Biblical Israel and were sold to Egypt. By way of North Africa and Morocco, the sheep made their way to Spain, and finally to Britain, where they were favored by the landed gentry for their distinctive spotted appearance and four horns. Though they are indigenous to the Middle East, none of the breed remain in the region. It is speculated that their unique appearance links them to Biblical Jacob who made a deal with his deceitful uncle Laban (Genesis 30:39). In the story, Jacob demands his wages for working for 14 years, claiming the speckled and black sheep that would be born. He removed all the speckled and black sheep and placed poplar, plane, and almond branches in the troughs of the stronger sheep, with the bark stripped off in stripes. He separated out the striped and speckled sheep as his own. Called Ovis Aries, the continuation of diverse breeds is necessary for the preservation of the genetic biodiversity of livestock, contributing to global food security. This is, in fact, the only breed in the world to produce spots and speckles in offspring, Two rams from the herd arrived at Havat Ephraim Bet El’s Pinat Hai (Children’s Zoo) last month. “There have been so many requests to see the sheep,” Rue said. “Havat Ephraim Bet El’s Pinat Hai is pleased to welcome two beautiful Jacob Rams into our community. We are happy to provide an opportunity for fans of the heritage livestock to visit the Jacob Sheep,” said Tuvia Victor of the Children’s Zoo. When Jacob fled from his brother, Esau, he slept in Bet El, dreaming of angels ascending and descending Heaven on a ladder. Beit El is situated along the Path of The Patriarchs, the road by which Jacob returned to the land of his heritage, with his new flock and family. The Jacob Rams arrived at the Children’s Zoo on 10 Cheshvan 5783, one day before 11 Cheshvan which is the yahrzeit [anniversary of the deaths] of both the Matriarch Rachel (1553 BCE) and of Methuselah (2105 BCE) who was the longest-lived human being of all time. Rachel is the first shepherd mentioned in the Torah. The Prophet Ezekiel compares the Jews to Sheep when he described them returning to the Land of Israel. For thus said Hashem: Here am I! I am going to take thought for My flock and I will seek them out. As a shepherd seeks out his flock when some [animals] in his flock have gotten separated, so I will seek out My flock, I will rescue them from all the places to which they were scattered on a day of cloud and gloom. Ezekiel 34:11-12 https://israel365news.com/359246/jacobs-sheep-arrive-at-beit-el-house-of-god/ Israel’s First Religious Regime: Israel’s right-wing political takeover by Menachem Begin is often dubbed “The 1977 revolution.” This week, however, we experienced a far more significant revolution—”The 2022 revolution”—in which the religious, for the first time, have come to power. Based on the winners and losers of the election for the 25th Knesset, it seems certain that the new government will have a majority of religiously observant members. Of the four parties set to join forces in the upcoming coalition, three are religious (two are Charedi), including half the total number of seats (32 of 64). If we include several religious Likkud Knesset members, we reach a clear religious majority. Netanyanu, for the first time in his life, will be at the secular extreme of the new government. Just several years ago, nobody would have entertained the thought. It is truly a revolution. The prominent agenda of the new government will be Israel’s status as a Jewish State. As election results demonstrate, most of Israel’s Jewish population favors a set of arrangements that defines the “Jewishness” of the State of Israel, including Shabbat, Kashrut, marriage laws, and a distinctly Jewish public sphere. In Israel, explained Erez Tadmor in his popular book, “you vote right but you get left.” The incoming government will put a stop to this. For the first time in Israeli political history, the religious have an opportunity to reverse the secular trend led over seventy years by Israel’s traditional elites. Members of the new government do not belong to the secular establishment, nor are they surrendered to it. They are proudly religious. The new government will not be a coercive one. . . . . no individual is about to lose his rights and freedoms. Nobody on the religious right is interested in coercing religious observance, and neither Charedim nor anyone else wants Israel to become Iran. Personal freedoms will not be threatened, but the makeup of curriculum authors, academic commissioners, cultural boards, and committee members for every issue under the sun will diversify and shift over time. Decision-makers ought to be connected to the people rather than detached from them, and a connection with Israel’s people means a connection to Jewish tradition and Jewish destiny. https://iyun.org.il/en/sedersheni/israels-first-religious-government-challenge-and-opportunity/ Well said, but yet they will still embrace the AC! Judaism was founded by God and has become a great religion not having brought them any closer to God or His true messiah!!! TR Neil Lipken (13 Nov 2022) Five Doves I'm not trying to name the antichrist, but this man is getting a lot of attention from the religious Jews in Israel. Netanyahu and Ben Gvir agree to legalize Jewish towns in the Biblical heartland: "Every spot on which your foot treads shall be yours; your territory shall extend from the wilderness to the Lebanon and from the River—the Euphrates—to the Western Sea." Deuteronomy 11:24 (The Israel Bible) As part of their coalition negotiations, Likud head Benjamin Netanyahu and Otzma Yehudit head Itamar Ben Gvir agreed on Wednesday to initiate several legal initiatives that would legalize dozens of Jewish towns in Judea and Samaria. The towns included in the agreement are those classified as “young settlements” and were established without government authorization. The agreement would legalize the Homesh and Evyatar settlements in Samaria that had been demolished by the Israeli government in 2005. The agreement also called for the building of bypass roads to enhance Israeli communities. The agreement would also lead to broadening an existing law that prevents criminal charges from being brought against someone using force to protect their home. The new law would also apply to anyone defending an IDF army base. All of these agreements will need to pass a Knesset vote in order to be enacted. In order to form a coalition, Netanyahu still has to come to terms with Bezalel Smotrich. Media reports claimed that the negotiations between Smotrich and Netanyahu became heated with Smotrich accusing Netanyahu of forming his government according to the wishes of the Biden administration. “The Americans will decide who will be appointed minister? It’s not meant to work like that,” Smotrich reportedly told Netanyahu. He called for the US government to “respect Israeli democracy and not get involved in the formation of an elected government." Nearby Arab towns threatened violence targeting Jews who attempted to reestablish the communities. “We don’t care what was agreed, the people of our town will resist the settlers’ presence,” Dr. Hutifa Badir from Beita, a village near Shechem and Evyatar, told the BBC. A video from Amir Tsarfati: (Wide-ranging, starts at about 4 minutes) Amir Tsarfati According to conversations with senior officials in the defense establishment, military action against the nuclear program will require enormous resources and will force the next finance minister to dramatically change the priorities in the budget: "Public opinion is focused on the cost of living and looking for deals for Hanukkah, we must prepare the citizens for a war economy" (Ynet) From Amir's Telegram -Fair use-
The parallel passage is found in 2 Kings 20:20, which reads:
“As for the other events of Hezekiah’s reign, all his achievements and how he made the pool and the tunnel by which he brought water into the city…” (NKJ)
In the book, the former Israeli prime minister revealed that he was "mistreated and disrespected" by Barack Obama when he was president. Netanyahu said Obama "took the gloves off" during their first White House meeting in 2009.
Then-President Donald Trump allegedly asked to speak to Netanyahu about the potential threats of violence if the United States recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.
Netanyahu remarked, "I think that the case of America and Israel, we were both founded on an ideal. Our idea was to return to the promised land, and your idea was to create a new promised land of liberty."
