Gaza City as seen from lookout in IsraelSometimes living in Israel feels like a crash course in spiritual warfare. If the LORD has taught us anything its how close spiritual and physical warfare can be. God is teaching us to listen to His voice and know when He has released us to move forward!

Samaritan Passover offers a picture of Yeshua crucified

Samaritan Passover offering on stakePaul tell us that Yeshua is our Passover lamb sacrificed for us. Even when doing the modern, Rabbinical Jewish seder, one sees Messiah all over it. But in the Samaritan Passover we get the closest to seeing what an observant Jew would have practiced and seen through the Temple periods.

God is faithful to perform that which He has promised, even if it seems like we’ve been waiting so long.

For Messiah is our peace, who made both [Jews and gentiles] into one and broke down the barrier of the dividing wall, by abolishing in His flesh the enmity … so that in Himself He might make the two into one new man, thus establishing peace, and might reconcile them both in one body to [...]
