A revelation is something God plunks into your spirit and suddenly you know what you didn’t know seconds before. You don’t learn revelations. They just come to you like an “Aha” moment. I had one… no, two of them last week. They dovetail together.

An email came from a new Jewish believer wanting to know what to call herself. She was having a tad bit of an identity issue. The answer may provide you with some new insights, and give you liberty to allow the Lord to take some limitations off of you. As she predicted, this turned into an article.

Just as I was finishing this article a precedent took place that will change the history of America. For the first time America voted against Israel in the UN’s condemnation of her with regard to the Flotilla episode.

The word for vision in Hebrew is “machazeh” and means at the root to gaze at, mentally to perceive, contemplate (with pleasure), specifically to have a vision of, to behold (which means to look with understanding), to prophesy and to see. We are given visions of things which will either increase our faith or decrease our faith.

For over fifty days the nation’s eyes have been watching incredulously as millions of gallons of oil spew unchecked into the waters of the Gulf of Mexico.

You may have heard the expression, “The enemy of my enemy is my friend,” but through Yeshua, both my friend and my enemy can become my brother.

Most of the global public would look at May 31, 2010, as the day that rapid change took place in the Middle East. That is the day that Israeli naval commandos boarded the Mavi Marmara ship, one of several ships in a Turkish sponsored flotilla that was trying to break the Israeli blockade of Gaza.

Yeshua said the greatest commandment is what Judaism calls the “Sh’ma” which says, “Hear O Israel, the Lord our God is one, and you shall love the lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul, and with all your might” (Deut. 6:4,5).

Sometimes God speaks to us through the simple natural things around us, giving us revelation that drastically alters our perspective; this recently happened to me.

There are two different ways to understand the division of the seventy weeks, but both of them are legitimate and in keeping with the rules of Hebrew grammar.
