When we invite guests over for a meal I am very finicky. For example, I don’t see

Neft - Crude Oil
The Hebrew word for crude oil is neft. Neft means “spirit from the underground,” referring to the crude oil lying under the earth. It also has a biblical meaning, revealed in Revelation 16:12-16:
And the sixth angel poured out his bowl upon the great river, the Euphrates; and its
water was dried up, that the way might be prepared for the kings from the East.
And I saw coming out of the mouth of the dragon and out of the mouth of the
beast and out of the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits like
frogs.”

Peace at any Price…even if it is a false peace
Since the State of Israel was founded in 1948 it has been striving for peace.
But three wars to defend its right to exist (the War of Independence in 1948;
the Six Day War in 1967; and the Yom Kippur War in 1973) as well as the wars in
between (the Sinai Campaign in 1956 and the Lebanon War in 1982) have ensured
that there has been no peace for Israelis.

Fear of the Jews motivates Anti-Semitism
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad wants to “wipe Israel off the map.”
Why? Could he be afraid of Israel, the nation that comprises less than one-one
thousandth of the world’s population? Pharaoh, Haman,
Nebuchadnezzar, Titus, Hitler and the leaders of the
Inquisition did everything in their power to wipe the Jewish people off the face
of the earth. Why? Fear and dread.

Israel's Peaks and Valleys
Israel’s history is like a panoramic view of mountain peaks and the valleys
lying between them. The peaks are the promises of God, which include the vow
that He will not break His eternal covenant with the Land and people of Israel
(Judges 2:1). However, to get from one peak to another you must pass through
valleys, which are often deep.

throughout the world. We are living in an era marked by natural disasters. The

a “green olive tree, beautiful in fruit and form” (Jeremiah 11:16). This
description is used by Paul as the starting point for his metaphor in Romans
11:16.
