The evidence is mounting about the draconian measures employed by Israel to control Palestinians, even children. You won't ever see a compelling, 11 minute report like this one from the UK by theguardian.com, in America's mainstream media.  Cell 36 in Al Jalame prison, northern Israel, is one of a handful of cells where Palestinian children are locked in solitary confinement for days or even weeks.  Even the British government has raised concerns about Israel's treatment of Palestinian minors arrested and interrogated for stone-throwing and other crimes.

The old family of God was represented by Israel while the new family of God consists of all the followers of Jesus Christ whose kingdom is a spiritual one.  Mark Horton's lesson helps unravel this mystery that causes divisions among Christians.

Thanks to Jewish sources, the news of billionaire Zionist, casino mogul, Sheldon Adelson's secret confab in Las Vegas to counter the worldwide BDS (Boycott, Devestment & Sanctions) movement against Israel's occupation of Palestine, has been exposed.  We discuss this event and its ramifications in this podcast.

Mark Horton continues with our study of the book of Hebrews.  We learn that Christ is superior because of His humanity.  Also, Mark includes an interesting discussion on the concept of audience relevance.  Was the book of Hebrews written for application by the audience reading it shortly after it was written or was it intended for application today, or both?

We Hold These Truths' intrepid, Bay Area vigil leader, Craig Hanson, conducted a "Vigil of One" at a Christians United For Israel "Four Blood Moons" event, held at a Stockton, CA church, with amazing results. Most of the hundreds of people in attendance knew he was there with his signs prominently on display as they drove in to the church parking lot. He even generated a counter protest, and, remarkably, one of the church pastors came out twice to dialogue with Craig to sincerely find out why Craig was there and what our mission is. In this podcast you'll learn about the hoopla behind the not-so-biblical "Four Blood Moons" idea that, supposedly, points to an imminent end times event. This was truly an inspiring and encouraging vigil for us, and we think you will find it remarkable, too. For more background information on the "Four Blood Moons" push, see here, and here.

The basic theme of Hebrews

is found in the word "better" (used 13 times) describing the superiority of Christ in His person and work.  Hebrews starts out with the

phrase "...in these last days spoken to us by His Son."  Find out why this is troublesome to some Christians.   Why not check out Mark

Horton's dynamic commentary of the book of Hebrews.  The chart "Israel's Timeline" referenced by Mark in the study, can be seen here.

Steve Haas is the VP/Chief Catalyst for the billion dollar Christian aid agency, World Vision that has aided Christians in Israel and Palestine for over 30 years.  Haas was challenged by Zionists and Christian Zionists over what he said at an address  made at a theological seminary (an article about his speech can be found here, and the complete speech here, and two of the Zionist attacks here and here).  He said that many evangelicals, for more than 60 years, had "clung to a very narrow theological narrative that weds Christian theology with a political ideology known as Zionism..."and, many of our brother Christ followers have allowed themselves to be squeezed into the roll of advocacy for Israel, and for war itself, by Christian Zionist errant scriptural teaching."  In this podcast, we also talk about the Zionist attack to silence Anglican priest and Christian Zionist expert, Rev. Stephen Sizer who conducted a moving interview with Steve Haas in Jerusalem.

In order to promote the war agenda, US Warmakers, including the President and the Republican leadership are telling perfidious lies of a proportion not seen before.  Two of many such lies and acts are discussed in our podcast.  These are journalist Seymour Hersh's amazing exposure about the killing of Osama Bin Laden.  And, the recent waves of executions by the new, overtly Zionist, Egyptian government that include a death death sentence for the former, democratically elected President of Egypt, Mohammed Marci and literally hundreds of Marci's staff while Egypt continues its economic and humanitarian blockade of Gaza. all while the US continues military aid to Egypt.

Christians United For Israel, headed by John Hagee, now has a Diversity Outreach Ministry Coordinator to reach out to black and Hispanic churches to drum up more support for Israel.  In this podcast we report on a We Hold These Truths' vigil held at a CUFI event conducted at a small black church near Phoenix, AZ.  Included in our report is a very interesting, short conversation with the pastor who revealed his Christian Zionist leanings.  For background on this vigil, listen to our podcast, "Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Decried the War in Vietnam, Christian Zionists Pray For War."  There were three of us conducting the vigil while there were less than 25 in attendance (our percentage of vigilers to the number of CUFI attendees increased dramatically over previous CUFI events where we conducted vigils).  Perhaps, blacks and Hispanics recognize that the Palestinians are the underdogs in the conflict, and, not the Israeli Jews.  We gave the pastor a copy of the inspiring documentary, "Al Helm: Martin Luther King in Palestine" and asked him to watch it.  Overcoming religious dogma about the modern state of Israel is a very difficult thing to do for the tens of millions of American Christians held in the grip of Christian Zionist ideology.

In 1967 Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. spoke out vehemently against the Vietnam war and said that the US government was "the greatest purveyor of violence in the world today." (And, we add, it still is, today!)  On the other hand, the self-anointed leader of Christian Zionism, John Hagee, has publicly prayed for war on Iraq and called for war against Iran.  In this podcast we talk about an upcoming vigil at a Christians United For Israel (CUFI) event being hosted at a predominantly black church with a black pastor.  The church's Facebook page had posted an event honoring Dr. King, who has been recognized and honored as a genuine peacemaker.  Why would they turn their backs to the legacy of Dr. King for a "Night To Honor Israel?"  That got us to thinking that the religious dogma of Christian Zionists must run deeper than Jesus' call to his followers:  "Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called the sons of God."  Don't miss this unique podcast and our follow-up podcast after the vigil.
