Ezekiel 34: 25-31
“I will make a covenant of peace with them and eliminate harmful beasts from the land so that they may live securely in the wilderness and sleep in the woods. I will make them and the places around My hill a blessing. And I will cause showers to come down in their season; they will be showers of blessing. Also the tree of the field will yield its fruit and the earth will yield its increase, and they will be secure on their land. Then they will know that I am Yahweh, when I have broken the bars of their yoke and have delivered them from the hand of those who enslaved them. They will no longer be a prey to the nations, and the beasts of the earth will not devour them; but they will live securely, and no one will make them afraid. I will establish for them a renowned planting place, and they will not again be victims of famine in the land, and they will not endure the insults of the nations anymore. Then they will know that I, Yahweh their God, am with them, and that they, the house of Israel, are My people,” declares Adonai Yahweh. “As for you, My sheep, the sheep of My pasture, you are men, and I am your God,” declares Adonai Yahweh.

His Name is Yahweh explains why the Name of God, Yahweh, is so important. It’s available in eBook format and in paperback.
- God also said to Moses, “Say to the Israelites, ‘Yahweh, the God of your fathers—the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob—has sent me to you.’ This [Yahweh] is my name forever, the name by which I am to be remembered from generation to generation.” (Exodus 3: 15)
- “Therefore behold, I am going to make them know—this time I will make them know My power and My might; and they shall know that My name is Yahweh.” (Jeremiah 16: 21)
- “Behold, the days are coming,” declares Yahweh, “when I will raise up for David a righteous Branch; and He will reign as king and act wisely and do justice and righteousness in the land. In His days Judah will be saved, and Israel will dwell securely; and this is His name by which He will be called, ‘Yahweh our righteousness.’” (Jeremiah 23: 5-6)

Chaim Richman: Temple Institute 25th Anniversary Gala Dinner Video Centerpiece—You should watch this YouTube video, and the next time you visit Jerusalem, you should drop by the Temple Institute.
Jonathan Tobin: Israel’s Building No Obstacle to Peace—The reaction to Israel’s announcement on Friday that it had approved building plans in Jerusalem and its suburbs was nearly unanimous. Even those who disapproved of the vote by the General Assembly of the United Nations to upgrade the Palestinian Authority to a pseudo-state at the world body damned the housing as either a childish tantrum on the part of the Israeli government to demonstrate their anger or a genuine threat to peace. The argument is that by allowing building in the E1 development area that connects the Maale Adumim suburb to the city, Israel will be foreclosing the possibility of a two-state solution since this would effectively cut the West Bank in half and forestall its viability as an independent Palestinian state.
Seth Mandel: Abbas Wastes No Time Humiliating His Western Supporters—Going into yesterday’s UN vote on upgrading Palestinian status at the world body, the Palestinian Authority received a fair amount of support from Israeli political figures, including former prime minister Ehud Olmert and former deputy defense minister Ephraim Sneh. Western European leaders also supported Mahmoud Abbas’s UN stunt as a way to possibly break the peace process out of its slumber. And in an utterly predictable move, the Palestinians announced as soon as the vote was tallied that they plan to make their Israeli and Western supporters look foolish.
Andrew C. McCarthy: Morsi’s Maneuver—“The Koran is our law.”
Rand Simberg: Egypt’s ‘Moderate’ and ‘Pragmatic’ Dictator—President Morsi and the “non-ideological” Muslim Brotherhood.
Andrew G. Bostom: Morsi’s Totalitarian Mandate Is Sharia—The regime taking power in Egypt truly will usher in women (and non-Muslims, and “blasphemers,” and…) “dying on the floor.” Few seem keen to talk about it.
Boaz Bismuth: Making the upgrade— Abbas has decided that every step from now on will create facts on the ground. Israel can also play that game.
Ambassador Dan Shapiro: Getting to the cease-fire— The U.S. and Israel share the goal of resuming direct negotiations to achieve a two-state solution, which is necessary for durable stability, security and prosperity for Israelis and Palestinians alike.
Doug Giles: The Real Root of Atheists’ Anti-Christmas Rage—Why do some atheists embarrass themselves year after year trying to eradicate Christmas from American culture?
Amnon Rubinstein: Human Shields – An Ever-Present Dilemma—The U.S., NATO and Israel are facing a major problem in their asymmetrical wars against non-armies and non-states. In Gaza, Afghanistan, Yemen and Waziristan, the use of human shields has become a major issue in international humanitarian law. The law is clear: the use of human shields in any armed conflict is a war crime.
Chuck Freilich: Renew the Mideast Peace Process? Not Now—Well before the Gaza operation, strategists and pundits were calling on President Obama to devote his second term to a renewed effort to promote the Israeli-Palestinian peace process. They are wrong. The last thing the Middle East and the U.S. needs is another failed American-led peace process. And it would fail. Regional conditions are far less propitious than when Bill Clinton was in office.
Aaron David Mille: The Peace Process Tooth Fairy— I’d love to believe in the peace process tooth fairy. I really would. In the wake of the Israeli-Hamas ceasefire in Gaza, I’d love to believe: That the Egyptian government — backed by the Turks, the Saudis and the Qataris — would put its money where its mouth is and press Hamas to give up its deadly and indiscriminate arsenal of unguided rockets.
Matthew Boyle: Congressional Report Ties Middle East Terrorists to Mexican Drug Cartels—A new congressional report from a House Homeland Security Subcommittee released this month ties Middle East terror organizations to Mexican drug cartels. “The presence of Hizbullah in Latin America is partially explained by the large Lebanese diaspora in South America,” the report reads. “In general, Hizbullah enjoys support by many in the Lebanese world community in part because of the numerous social programs it provides in Lebanon that include schools, hospitals, utilities and welfare.”
Faye Bittker: Israel’s South Holds On, But How Much More Must We Take?—For the past year or two, missiles have come raining down on southern Israel every few months. We, the residents of southern Israel who live within a 60-mile radius of Gaza, learned to drive with our car windows open so that we could hear sirens while on the open road. We taught our children how to fall asleep again once they were moved into the safe room in the middle of the night. We developed a whole slew of coping mechanisms including “dressing for missiles” – no heels or straight skirts allowed.
2nd Lt. Nira Lee: What I Saw During Operation Pillar of Defense—I participated in last week’s Operation “Pillar of Defense” as an officer in the IDF. When I moved to Israel and enlisted, I joined a unit called the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT), which is devoted to civilian and humanitarian issues. My job is International Liaison Officer in the Gaza office. There were IDF officers who stayed up all night under a hail of rockets, brainstorming ways to import medical supplies and food to the people of Gaza. I can tell you it is true because I did it every night.
Ben Sales: Studying Abroad in a War Zone, Americans in Israel Are Shaken But Undeterred—15 air-raid sirens in total rang out in Beersheba on Nov. 14, on the first night of Israel’s operation aimed at ending Palestinian rocket fire from Gaza. The sirens repeatedly woke Shoshana Leshaw, a junior at Queens College in New York, and the 25 other study-abroad students at Ben-Gurion University, who were among the thousands of young Americans who come to Israel each year to study or work.
Arsen Ostrovsky: Where Is Condemnation of Hamas Terror?—In Israel more than one million people are in bomb shelters, seeking cover from a hail of rockets being rained down by Palestinian terrorists in Gaza. A further 3 1/2 million live directly in the line of fire. I’m angry that UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon was unable to unequivocally condemn the Palestinian rocket attacks without implying a moral equivalence between Israel taking defensive action against the terror attacks and Hamas deliberately targeting innocent civilians.
Gil Troy: Sheltered in Jerusalem—We convinced ourselves that Jerusalem was not only protected geographically from Gaza, but that these Islamic fundamentalist fanatics would not risk hitting the Al Aqsa Mosque or neighboring Arab villages, despite their desire to target us. So for us, the air raid siren heralded a new experience.
Amb. Ron Prosor: The Route to Palestinian Statehood Runs Through Jerusalem, Not New York— The world waits for President Abbas to speak the truth that peace can only be achieved through negotiations by recognizing Israel as a Jewish state. It waits for him to tell them that peace must also address Israel’s security needs and end the conflict once and for all. When Israel faced an Arab leader who wanted peace, we made peace.
Ahmed Abdel-Raheem: Why I Disagree with Arabic Media’s Demonization of Israel—Viewing Israel as a demon is dangerous and doesn’t fit the facts very well.
Jonathan Kay: Exhuming Yasser Arafat—The body of PA leader Yasser Arafat was exhumed on Tuesday as part of a dubious campaign to determine his cause of death.
Joost Lagendijk: Does Morsi’s Rise Mean Erdogan’s Fall?—Turkey is no longer seen as a regional power broker and finds itself shut out of the Arab-Israeli conflict.
Akiva Hamilton: Iron Dome Is a Game-Changer—The fifth Iron Dome anti-missile battery, deployed months early just outside Tel Aviv, features a significantly improved radar and software upgrades that turn the system into both a short-range and medium-range missile defense system.
Alexander Abad-Santos: The Secret to Iranian Drone Technology? Just Add Photoshop—Earlier this month, Iran’s news agency provided a photo of a fancy new drone Iran said it developed that could take off and land vertically.
Leo Rennert: Palestinian ‘Statehood’: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly—Where did the nations of the world fall on this week’s ignominious U.N. decision?
Fay Voshell: The Temptation of Babel—The utopian who is convinced his way is uncontested, absolutely correct and pure is always a conqueror for whom individual lives, independent institutions and freedom mean little or nothing.
Selwyn Duke: Another Victory for the Anti-Christian Grinches—It’s clear that the main problem some people have with the SA bells is not the ringing, but who is doing the ringing.
Max Boot: The Steep Price of American Disengagement—It is hardly surprising to read that the flow of Iranian arms continues to reach Syria via Iraqi airspace. Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki had promised the Obama administration that he would inspect aircraft overflying his country, but his promise has proved hollow. As the New York Times reports.
Mark Steyn: Impending Bankruptcy—Previously on The Perils of Pauline: Last year, our plucky heroine, the wholesome apple-cheeked American republic, was trapped in an express elevator hurtling out of control toward the debt ceiling. Would she crash into it? Or would she make some miraculous escape?
Gary Wickert: Scott Walker’s Revolution: The Sequel—The Wisconsin governor is seeking to extend the reforms that proved so successful in his first term.
Daniel J. Mitchell: The Sadistic Brutality of England’s Government-Run Healthcare—I read a story about the death panels in the United Kingdom that left me discombobulated. I can’t even begin to describe how I feel. And here are some of the horrifying details. Read at your own risk.

Blessings in the Book of Revelation is a book that you need to read, especially now. There are blessings throughout the Scriptures but Revelation is the only book in the Bible actually containing a specific blessing for reading it. It’s repeated twice, once at the beginning and again at the end. This is the reason that I believe Revelation should be the first step toward studying biblical prophecy. Though not easy to do, Revelation can be broken down and understood by anyone, not just the academic elite. So, Revelation’s blessings are for everyone. Click here to order the eBook.
