>> NEW JOSHUA FUND VIDEO BLOG POSTED: 7 minute video discusses how Esther and Mordechai dealt with the Persian threat to “annihilate” the Jews so long ago, and how we can bless Israel as Iran threatens the Jews again today
>> SATURDAY 4PM EASTERN: U.S. launches cruise missile attacks against Libyan targets
We’ve just posted on The Joshua Fund website a new article I’ve written called, “Iran, Israel and the Threat of Annihilation: Modern Day Lessons From The Book of Esther“. It includes fascinating excerpts from a new CNN interview with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu with Piers Morgan on the Iranian nuclear threat and the savage killing by Islamic Radicals of an entire Jewish family in Israel while they slept. I hope you’ll take a moment to read it.
NOTE: The holiday of “Purim” commemorating these events begins Saturday evening. If you’re a pastor or Bible teacher, would you consider preaching and teaching on the Book of Esther? If you’re a father or mother, would you consider taking some time this weekend to take your children through the Book of Esther and help them understand God’s love for the Jewish people and His heart for saving them when they prayed and fasted? www.joshuafund.net
