ZLM-endorsed Israeli Benevolence Funds

Below are descriptions of Zola’s favorite benevolences, which we continue to support.

  • To the Jew First Fund — Our ambassadors to Israel share the Gospel primarily with Jewish Israelis, and also reach for the Arabs. The fund covers expenses including airfare, meals, transportation, and other essentials.
  • Good News Fund — This is a general benevolence fund that meets needs for fellow ministerial organizations as they arise. For example, it has subsidized the dental and vision care of a local charity that runs a homeless shelter.
  • Lone Soldier — Soldiers in the Israel Defense Forces are paid next to nothing and typically rely on their parents for financial help, housing, food, and laundry facilities on the weekends. “Lone soldiers” are generally Jewish men and women who have made aliyah to Israel by themselves and have no family members in Israel. This fund helps these Israeli soldiers with basics like food and clothing throughout the year.
  • Jewish National Fund — Contributions to this cause sponsor tree planting in Israel. Each tree costs only $10. You can request a personalized certificate to reflect your donation.
  • Bridges for Peace — This Jerusalem-based, Christian organization inspires Christians and Jews to work side by side for better relations and a more secure Israel. For more information about this organization, see https://www.bridgesforpeace.com.
  • The Temple Mount Fund — This fund supports archaeological works that continue to demonstrate how science verifies the reality of the Scriptures.
  • Aliyah Return Center — Jewish people from around the world are being welcomed to their ancestral homeland and many need a temporary place to stay. An abandoned boarding school in the Galilee is being renovated by this organization, led by Chaim Malespin. For more information about this center, see https://www.aliyahreturncenter.com.
  • Hebrew4Christians — This fund assists John Parsons, author of our monthly Levitt Letter Hebrew Lesson and Zola’s Introduction to Hebrew book. The father of three young sons, John needs support while coping with chronic health concerns. Please visit and support his stellar, user-friendly website www.hebrew4christians.com.

Dateline Jerusalem: The Coming Temple – Future of Worship

Exploring God’s Plan For Israel: The Eternal City and Beyond

Ever wondered why Jerusalem, the ‘Eternal City’, holds such a profound place in God’s plan for Israel? Or how temple worship has shaped the nation’s identity and spiritual life from its inception?

The history of Israel is not just about dates and events. It’s a tale that intertwines faith, prophecy, hope, and anticipation – all pointing toward an end goal where God permanently dwells among His people.

In this journey through time, we’ll explore the allure of Jerusalem to millions over millennia. We’ll dive into ancient prophecies about the destruction and anticipated rebuilding of the Temple. We’ll walk on hallowed grounds like Mount Olives, which echo with resurrection hopes.

By exploring these fascinating facets together, you’re set to gain deeper insights into Jewish theology – one marked by immanence, a belief in God dwelling amongst us.

The Significance of Jerusalem in God’s Plan

Jerusalem, often dubbed the Eternal City, has been a centerpiece in God’s plan for Israel. This city carries historical and spiritual significance that transcends time.

The Spiritual Allure of Jerusalem

For thousands of years, Jerusalem has magnetized religious pilgrims worldwide. Its appeal stems from its rich history and spiritual aura, which seem to permeate every stone.

This allure was amplified with the birth of modern Israel as a nation-state. The re-establishment fortified the city’s role as a symbol for people seeking connection with their faith.

Jerusalem at the Ragged Edge of Time

Jews have long anticipated something remarkable happening in this eternal city during end times. Rooted deep within Jewish tradition is an expectation that all eyes will be on Jerusalem when God decides to unveil His grand finale.

The Emergence of Israel and Temple Worship

In the early days of Israel, temple worship was an integral component of their national identity. The nation-state of Israel emerged alongside the establishment of temple worship, giving rise to a unique blend of faith and culture.

The Role of Temple Worship in Ancient Israel

Temples in antiquity weren’t just places of worship but also spots for socializing. This gave them an influential role in shaping society. But they had a deeper spiritual significance, too.

The people believed that these sacred spaces housed divine presence, making them central to their relationship with God. Their practices went beyond ritualistic observance—they reflected a heartfelt desire to connect with the divine.

This has made temple worship pivotal in defining Israel’s national identity and spiritual life—a testament to its enduring impact on Jewish heritage even today.

The Destruction and Anticipated Rebuilding of the Temple

Imagine a city torn asunder 2000 years ago, its grandest edifice—the temple—leveled to the ground. This wasn’t just any prediction; it was a prophecy from Jesus himself.

Ezekiel’s Prophecy on Temple Rebuilding

This destruction isn’t where our story ends, though. For centuries, Jewish folks have been holding onto an anticipation – a longing for restoration that goes beyond bricks and mortar. It’s about God’s presence returning in an extraordinary way. Ezekiel’s vision spoke volumes of this hope – he foresaw not just rebuilding but also rejuvenation.

The intriguing part is that Ezekiel didn’t stop at mere architectural details; his prophecies echoed promises of divine proximity—an unbroken communion between God and His people right there in Jerusalem.

Ancient ruins transformed into symbols of hope? That’s bold. But we’re talking about faith here—and when you start to consider these ancient predictions alongside today’s Israel…well, let’s just say things get interesting.

The Mount of Olives and Resurrection Hope

Why do Jews choose to be buried at the Mount of Olives? The answer lies in a deeply held belief about resurrection.

The Jewish Belief in Resurrection

Judaism has long embraced the concept of resurrection. This isn’t just any rebirth but a spiritual one tied closely to God’s plan for Israel.

This cemetery on the slopes of Jerusalem is no ordinary burial ground. Instead, it represents an enduring hope – an anticipation that transcends time and death itself.

You see, within Jewish tradition, there’s this understanding that when Messiah returns, those interred here will rise first because they’re closest to Temple Mount – where divine events are prophesied to occur. So every soul resting here waits with bated breath for their ultimate call from beyond.

The Mount of Olives Cemetery, as it stands today in Jerusalem, serves as both a testament and promise—a reflection not only of past generations but also of future hopes rooted firmly in God’s covenant with His people.

God’s Permanent Dwelling among His People

The concept of God making a permanent home among his people is deeply ingrained in Jewish theology. It brings to mind the image of Shekinah, a term that denotes God’s divine presence.

The Immanence of God in Jewish Theology

In the spiritual landscape, this idea is not just symbolic but carries significant implications. Many Jews believe it signifies an era where peace and justice will prevail, as foreseen by prophets like Isaiah.

This prophecy speaks volumes about Israel’s role within this framework. According to scripture, Jerusalem serves as the hub for divine activity, a place where heaven intersects with earth.

This idea goes beyond suggesting just a close bond between humans and their Creator. It paints the picture of an intimate relationship, almost like sharing a home together. It’s something we’ve never seen before but holds such beautiful hope.

Conclusion

Exploring God’s plan for Israel isn’t just a history lesson. It’s an immersion into a faith journey marked by prophecy, hope, and anticipation.

You’ve seen the allure of Jerusalem – its timeless appeal to millions over centuries. You’ve discovered how temple worship has shaped Israel’s identity from the start.

We discussed prophecies about the Temple’s destruction and rebuilding – monumental events echoing in Jewish theology today. We visited Mount Olives, where resurrection hopes find physical form.

Final takeaway – This narrative leads us to understand God’s immanence – His promise of dwelling permanently among His people according to Jewish belief. And that sums up our exploration of this fascinating topic!
