Shalom and Blessings;
We are so happy that the electioneering in the United States is over. The hate, the lies and the accusations one against the other was a disgusting display of the devil's work upon the world's political and economic system. No one we know in Israel is happy with the final outcome (although at this writing it is still not over). As Israelis we would have much preferred President Trump have his chance at a second term; a term that would have not required a year to learn the ropes and how things work in Washington or having to be encumbered with preparing for a second term. He could have pulled out all of the stops and accomplished so much for America and Israel.
Many people see Trump's defeat as a total negative, but as unhappy as we are about the results, we cannot see it that way. Although the Trump administration saw and worked towards the return of America to "One Nation Under God" and succeeded in reestablishing prayer in schools and a conservative leaning Supreme Court as well as other godly changes, is that really what the Bible teaches us about the end times?
2 Timothy 3:1-7
1 But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. 2 People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3 without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, 4 treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— 5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people. 6 They are the kind who worm their way into homes and gain control over gullible women, who are loaded down with sins and are swayed by all kinds of evil desires, 7 always learning but never able to come to a knowledge of the truth.
We are in the last days so did anyone really expect for things to get better? With the inauguration of this new godless, liberal administration let us look at it this way. We are four years closer to the return of Messiah Yeshua. Come quickly Lord Yeshua!
Like Moses, I am blessed to be able to say; "You can stop sending money for the orphanage water project, we have reached our goal!" We gratefully thank everyone who gave toward helping the orphans and we are sure that your giving to orphans has not gone unnoticed by God; He will be repaying you in blessings. For those who wanted to give but did not get around to it, hang on to your gift there will be other opportunities and other worthwhile projects to help with in Kenya.

Hi Ellen here…Who said believers have to be happy all of the time…our Lord said to be joyful. I see a difference. We are filled with the joy of the Lord but we have to make an effort to be happy. Are you happy when you lose self-control, yell at your children or even your husband or wife…are you happy when you lack love, peace, patience, faith and so many of the attributes we are supposed to possess as Believers!? Well confession is good for the soul, right? I confess this Thursday morning that I lost it but was quickly reminded that His righteousness is also my righteousness. In Messiah Yeshua we are able to quickly repent and return to His love and be joyful full of His grace and mercy. Are you happy today? Are you quick to repent? When others see you do they see Yeshua? I am praying for you all and hoping that you are praying for me as well. Blessings from above, Shabbat shalom.
Yours in Messiah Yeshua; our Lord, our God, our soon coming King;
Rabbi Jack & Ellen
