Reunion Roadmap

We've heard the story of Gideon and his 300 chosen warriors who defeated the vast army of Midian through the power of God. What we may not remember is the difficult battles Gideon fought just to get to that place of trusting God to do what He had promised. That's what Barry Phillips and David Jones talk about in this midrash. As they explain, before we can go to war with our adversary, we have to go to war with the things inside us that hold us back.

What's the big deal about red cows in Israel? Adam Eliyahu Berkowitz explains that in his new book, Return of the Red Heifers: Paving the Road to Redemption. 

This really is a big deal because it brings Israel much closer to restoring the Temple service in Jerusalem just as promised in the Bible. The problem is, this is a subject very few people understand. That lack of understanding, both among Jews and Christians, motivated Eliyahu to write the book as a means to answer misinformation with the truth. He shares much of that truth in this interview - especially why the restoration of the Temple is important to Christians and the role we have to play in that process.

If you're not quite sure what a red heifer is, or whether a new Temple in Jerusalem is a good thing, this conversation is something you might want to hear!

Who is Amalek and why should we care? That's the topic of this conversation David Jones and Barry Phillips share. Yes, Amalek was an ancient enemy of Israel, but there's more about that ancient struggle than meets the eye. In fact, the struggle is still happening in ways that impact every one of us.

Christian prophetic thought has long understood that God’s timetable centers on Israel. It’s actually more than that, as Samuel Wearp can tell you. Not only is Israel the center of prophecy, it’s the reason for prophecy. The entire history of humanity revolves around God’s creation, redemption, judgment, restoration, and exaltation of His covenant nation of Israel.

Samuel has been connected to Israel for many years, particularly through his family’s business, Blessed Buy Israel, and the bridgebuilding work of Ten From the Nations. Now, as a new husband, he and his wife, Keila, are embarking on a new phase of their journey in support of Israel and the Jewish people. Their work is called Rising Sparks, a ministry with the goal of helping Christians connect to Jesus, Israel, and Judaism through a biblical lens. Their first major project is a sheep shearing expedition to Israel to assist Judean shepherds! Samuel tells us about that and much more in this engaging interview.

What does the mention of spiritual warfare bring to mind? Probably something about demonic possession and exorcism - something that we have heard happens to other people. But what if there's more to it - and less to it - than that? What if spiritual warfare is something we do by drawing closer to our God, learning His word, listening for His voice, and obeying His directions? David Jones and Barry Phillips have some thoughts about this subject that may be surprising!

The picture we get of Pharisees probably comes from Matthew 23, which records Yeshua's rebuke of the scribes and Pharisees as hypocrites. But were they all corrupt hypocrites? If they weren't, then what have we missed - and why might that be important? That's what Barry Phillips and David Jones discuss in this journey through the scripture.

Among the peculiar promises of God about the restoration of Israel is this one:

Samuel Wearp is one of those strangers who will tend the flocks of Israel! He and his new bride, Keila, are even now in Israel leading a team of sheep shearers in a project to assist the Jewish pioneers in Judea with their flocks. This is the first of what promises to be many projects of Samuel & Keila’s new ministry, Rising Sparks!

The Bible says a lot about sheep, both figuratively and literally. As Barry Phillips and David Jones explain, there is practical and spiritual aspects of the ancient commandment to restore the lost sheep of our neighbors that apply to us today! It’s a matter of becoming what our Creator intended for us all along, as we hear we hear in the music of Wilderness Cry.

If Israel really is God’s prophetic timepiece, how does that impact our lives? How should people who profess faith in the Messiah of Israel think about that, and about the Jewish people who are the native born Israelites? Samuel Wearp has some practical counsel about that based on his experience of serving Israel and the Jewish people. It starts with prayer, as we discuss in this second part of our conversation.

But how are the Jewish people still a factor in God’s redemptive plans? That’s what Barry Phillips and David Jones investigate in their midrash, “Duel Covenant” and what we hear in the music of Wilderness Cry.

Samuel has been connected to Israel for many years, particularly through his family’s business, Blessed Buy Israel, and the bridgebuilding work of Ten From the Nations, and now in a new work called Rising Sparks. We talk about all of that in this three-part conversation that starts with the story of how Samuel and his bride, Keila, found each other. Even that story has an Israel connection!

In a real sense, the story of Israel is the story of God’s love for His people and for the whole world. How are we to respond to His love? That’s an element in the music of House of Aaron and Miriam Houtz, and a question Barry Phillips and David Jones investigate in their midrash, “Does How We Worship Matter?”

Hanoch Young has been a Jewish activist since his youth. As he will tell you, that’s what got him arrested on three continents before his 21st birthday! He’s still an activist, but instead of protesting and gaining negative attention from authorities, he’s building bridges with the House of Joseph in expectation that one day soon the two parts of God’s Covenant Nation of Israel will become one in Messiah’s hand.

Is this day when many Jews are reaching across to Christians to build strong relationships in support of Israel, Hanoch remains one of the few (perhaps the only) Orthodox Jew who is welcoming followers of Messiah Yeshua as returning Ephraimites of the House of Joseph. In this conversation, we talk about how he started out on this unusual venture, where it has taken him, and what might be on the horizon. These are perilous times for the world’s only Jewish State, but they are prophetic times in which the God of Israel is advancing His plans for the restoration of all Israel and the final redemption of the world!

To get in touch with Hanoch, book him for a tour in Israel, invite him to your congregation, or find out where he will be on his next trip to the US, visit his website at: https://kolyehuda.com/.
