FAST & PRAY

FAST & PRAY today then tune in tomorrow.

Tomorrow, at 11 a.m. ET, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel will address a joint meeting of Congress.
The address is an opportunity for you to hear from the leader one of our closest allies about the grave threats we face from radical Islam and Iran. If you plan on watching, we invite you to tune in at speaker.gov/live. Here's a quick primer on what you can expect tomorrow:
· Speaker Boehner will welcome the Prime Minister to the Capitol by presenting him with a bust of Winston Churchill. Netanyahu and Churchill are the only foreign leaders to address a joint meeting of Congress on three occasions. A bust of Churchill can be found in the Capitol's Freedom Foyer.
· After Speaker Boehner gavels the joint meeting to order, a number of dignitaries will be introduced before the Prime Minister, who will be accompanied by an escort committee made up of Republicans and Democrats.
· Prime Minister Netanyahu's audience will include members of Congress from both parties, as well as guests in the gallery. Speaker Boehner's guests include former Speaker Newt Gingrich and Elie Wiesel, a recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize and the Congressional Gold Medal.
· Given the ties between America and Israel, it's no surprise that interest in attending the speech is high. We've had 10 times the number of requests for tickets than there are seats available in the gallery. In fact, demand is so overwhelming that both the House and Senate have set up separate viewing locations, which are also ticketed events. Don't worry, you don't need a ticket to tune in at speaker.gov/live.

           A prophetic type of Esther,
                 warning America 

The visit of Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu could very well have extraordinary prophetic impact on America. 

In Zechariah 12 and 13, the Lord is speaking of "in that day"  which is the Day of the Lord when He has returned and is setting things right on earth.
The Lord says in 12:9 "I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem."  Since Israel was reborn in 1948, the US has been its staunchest ally. That has changed with the current White House. Netanyahu's visit to the US during Purim this week may be a significant prophetic warning to America against the US "president's" support of a nuclear Iran. 

In Zechariah, both the nations of the world who come against Jerusalem and many in Jerusalem will experience the wrath of the Lord. Notwithstanding, Zechariah 12:10 says, "And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourns for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as on that is in bitterness for his firstborn."  The Lord uses similar language in Isaiah, Revelation and Ezekiel 38-39. The import of Netanyahu's visit could may be a warning to America of what is to come if she remains on her current path of supporting Iran's nuclear intentions. 

The significance of this visit falling during the feast of Purim also has prophetic implications. Purim commemorates the deliverance of the Jewish people from destruction at the hands of an evil servant of the King of Persia.
The historic account is found in the book of Esther. Netanyahu's visit to America is to block the US "president's" support of Iran's development of nuclear technology, which inevitably will be used for building a nuclear bomb.
Iran's leadership has repeatedly said that it aims to wipe Israel off the map.                                In essence, Netanyahu's modern day mission is similar to that of Esther's ancient one--to foil the plan of the King of Persia's (Iran) evil servant (the US "president") to annihilate Israel.

This White House has been excusing Iran's nuclear development since it took office.
On May 5, 2009, then White House Chief of Staff Rham Emanuel said, "Israel now faces a moment of truth--it can either acquiesce to international demands and in return have its most serious threats dealt with, or maintain the status quo and have those threats persist."  Emanuel was saying that the White House would ignore Iran's nuclear threat, if Israel did not buckle to demands over a Palestinian state. In his June 4, 2009 speech in Cairo, the "president"  said, "No single nation should pick and choose which nations hold nuclear weapons. . . And any nation--including Iran--should have the right to access peaceful nuclear power if it complies with its responsibilities under the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty." 

The "president"  is of Islam--born and raised.                                                                                                               He knows that the "peace of Islam"  means bringing all nations into submission to Islam.
That is the genesis of Iran's  (modern day Persia)  campaign for "peaceful" nuclear use.
 Netanyahu's visit to the US to plead for Israel's well-being during the week of Purim should be a prophetic warning to all who have eyes to see and ears to hear.

Have a Blessed and Powerful Day!
