LTRP Note: The following news story is posted for informational and research purposes. By Jordan SekulowACLJ It’s stunning to think a state university would allow an anti-Israel, anti-Semitic conference.

when the Lord builds up Zion, bringing the return of the Jewish people to Jerusalem and the land of Israel, He will appear in His glory. This wonderful event is on its way as we see the Jewish people back in the land and taking pleasure in the stones of Jerusalem, while the antichrist nations gather together to fight against the Lord and His purposes. The last word will be with the returning Messiah, as He appears in power and glory to bring an end to war over Jerusalem and to set up His Messianic kingdom.

By Mary Danielsen Many Christian believers are expressing concern today, and rightly so, over something called “social justice” or the “social-justice gospel.” Jim Wallis, founder of Sojourners magazine, is one of the top “change agents” in the social-justice movement within the evangelical/Protestant church, and the timing of his surge in popularity cannot be ignored, considering: … [Read more…]

LTRJ Note: During this week, Holocaust Remembrance week, we sadly learned about a study conducted showing that Americans are increasingly becoming more and more ignorant of the reality of the Holocaust, especially among the younger generations.

By Bill Randles In view of last week’s UN Vote on the day the UN designates “Palestinian day,” in which 151 nations voted that Israel has no claim on Jerusalem and of last week’s six UN anti-Israel resolutions, and in view of today’s historic declaration by President Trump that Jerusalem is the Capitol of Israel, I thought it fitting to re-run this … [Read more…]

By Tsvi Sadan Israel Today Following the Barcelona terror attacks in which 14 people were killed and some 130 wounded, the Jewish Telegraphic Agency (JTA) asked the Spanish city’s chief rabbi, Rabbi Meir Bar-Hen, what he thought of the future of Jews there.

The following talk by Oregon pastor Brett Meador (from 2013) will be very helpful in understanding the biblical view of Israel and the Jews. Because anti-Semitism and replacement theology are becoming more and more prevalent within the church, it’s important to have a good understanding of this issue. We think this talk will help. http://atheycreek.com/teachings/15566/the-history-of-israel/
We have been shocked and utterly dismayed at witnessing a growing distain for Israel and the Jews by those within the evangelical camp. Sadly, we have learned that even some who read Lighthouse Trails fall in this category. That has been surprising to us because we have been very vocal about where our sympathies lie since our … [Read more…]
