Israel is back on standard clock time now, the longest period ever that we were on ‘summer’ time. These days, the clock is referred to as either ‘winter’ time or ‘summer’ time. This tendency will cause many people to not know which ‘time’ is the standard. When Yeshua said that no one knows the day or the hour of His return, He knew that in the last days the times would be changed, with each country — sometimes each state or province within a country — determining its own times and seasons. Does anybody know what time it is? At least God’s timing is perfect, and He simply warns us to be ready on time. In the Middle East, this is no easy matter!
Nachalat Yeshua uses CMA property, which has been in their hands since 1911, and on Oct 31, 1917, the soft Byzantine stones bore witness to the Beer Sheva Charge of the Australian Lighthorse in their break-through victory over the Turks — with help during the day from their New Zealand and British mates — literally opening the way for the Allied forces to take Palestine from under the Moslem rule of the Ottoman Empire, and preparing the way for the Jewish people to return and be legally reestablished on their own land, which God promised and swore long ago. It took another 30+ years to secure the land, at great cost, including the Holocaust, and the toll of war. Sixty-six years later, as YHVH is fulfilling Is 11:10-12 (spoken almost 2760 years ago), the world seems to be seeking to annul all of this history; God remains faithful to His covenants, which includes, to our discomfiture, He Himself working in His own powerful way to bring all nations against Jerusalem, in order to finally secure His people’s hearts, and to glorify and sanctify His Holy Name. The judgments of God are inscrutable, and His ways past finding out!
