I believe the answers to the following questions can be found in our title, those Scriptures you have just read, and in the two news articles from Arutz Sheva and the Jerusalem Post, which follow them.
144,000 Jews, the Seed of the Woman, Worship Jesus in the Negev!
From where will 144,000 Jews be chosen, and where will they Flee?
What will they testify to some two Million unbelieving Negev Jews?
All the ingredients are in place for the final war of this age to begin when Israel is driven into the Negev Wilderness. No one can be certain as to when this attack will occur, but by guess is that the attack against Israel will occur at some point in time between 2010 and 2015. It is a guess, no more and no less.
But that all the ingredients are in place, I do not consider that to be a guess – I believe it to be a prophetic fact.

New Missionary Campaign in Shadow of Bible Contest Controversy
May 6, 2008
by Nissan Ratzlav-Katz
(IsraelNN.com) The Christian missionary organization known as “Jews for Jesus” is about to launch a new proselytizing campaign in Israel. Their redoubled effort to gain Jewish converts comes on the heels of a controversy over the participation of an Israeli girl who worships Jesus in the annual International Bible Contest, to be held on Independence Day in Jerusalem.
The family of Bat-El Levy, 17, the winner of the Jerusalem District Bible contest for secular public schools, is known to be active in a group whose members call themselves “Messianic Jews”. Her success in the regi onal competiti
on earned Bat-El a place among four students representing Israel in the Bible Contest finals on Independence Day, this Thursday.
Dozens of Jewish youth come to Israel each year for the last leg of the Bible Contest.
In reaction to the participation of a worshiper of Jesus in the Bible Contest, the head of the anti-missionary organization Yad L’Achim sent a letter to rabbinical and lay leaders in the religious community last week calling for efforts to get Levy disqualified. Several rabbis agreed to call for a boycott of the contest if Levy was allowed to compete. Among the rabbis supporting the idea of a boycott are Rabbi Shlomo Aviner, the son of Rabbi Mordechai Eliyahu and Tzfat Chief Rabbi Shmuel Eliyahu, Rabbi Yaakov Yosef, son of the Shas party’s spiritual leader Rabbi Ovadia Yosef, Rabbi Meir Mazuz, dean of Kissei Rachamim Yeshiva, Chief Rabbi of Kiryat Motzkin Rabbi Meir Drukman, and Har Hamor Yeshiva dean Rabbi Tzvi Tau.
In a letter to the Education Minister, Yuli Tamir, Knesset Member Meir Porush (United Torah Judaism) asked last week that Levy be disqualified from the Bible Contest on the grounds that she is not Jewish according to the High Court of Justice. In cases relating to the Law
of Return, granting automatic citizenship to Jewish immigrants, the High Court has ruled that those who profess the Christian faith will not be recognized as Jews regardless of their ethnic background.
Furthermore, Porush said, the Bible Contest itself may be turned into a tool for Christian proselytizing among Jews, which is forbidden by law in Israel.
According to MK Porush, one of the goals of the annual Bible contest, officially called the International Bible Contest for Jewish Youth, is “to strengthen the religious awareness of the students and their appreciation of the Bible as the source of the fulfillment of the commandments and the religious lifestyle.” Therefore, the competition is open only to Jews, which would exclude Jews who believe in or worship Jesus.
Levy Cannot Be Barred
In response to the controversy, a spokesperson for the Ministry of Education said that because Levy is listed as Jewish in school records and in the Population Registry, she is Jewish for the purposes of the Bible Contest as well.
Therefore, she cannot be barred.
Yad L’Achim has already sent letters about the situation to the Education Ministry, the Jewish Agency, which sponsors the events surrounding the contest, and to the Bible Contest organizers. The organization is now in touch with some of the contest participants, according to Yad L’Achim director Rabbi Shlomo Dov Lipschitz. He is hoping to convince them to boycott the contest, he said, although he realizes the difficulty in his request considering the great efforts the students made to take part in the competition.
New Jews-for-Jesus Missionary Campaigns
Even as the Bible Contest controversy is reaching its apex, in a letter to supporters the Jews for Jesus organization announced a series of new campaigns in Israel. “The campaigns are scheduled to begin in 2008 and continue through 2013,” the missionary organization announced. “These campaigns could be the most important thing we in Jews For Jesus have ever done….”
Claiming that “one tenth of one percent (.001)” of the Jews in Israel “believe in Jesus,” the missionaries see a positive side in that Israel “is the only place in the world where – when we do street evangelism – we don’t need to wonder who is Jewish. All we have to do is walk outside and talk to everyone we meet!”
There are about 8,000 Jews in Israel who worship Jesus. Yad L’Achim says that there are over 100 missionary, or “Messianic”, churches operating in Israel, representing various branches of Christianity.

Chief rabbis call to cancel Bible Quiz
Matthew Wagner, THE JERUSALEM POST
May 6, 2008
Both chief rabbis of Israel called on Tuesday to cancel the International Bible Quiz slated for the capital on Independence Day in protest against the participation of a 16-year-old girl who believes Jesus is the messiah.
“Choosing her as a finalist in the International Bible Quiz for Jewish Youth is a transgression of Halacha and is a distortion of the goal and essence of the quiz,” wrote Chief Rabbis Shlomo Amar and Yona Metzger in a letter to Education Minister Yuli Tamir.
“The Chief Rabbinate of Israel vigorously protests [the participation] of this representative… Bible quiz participants have always been Jews who believed in the Torah handed down by Moses.
“The Chief Rabbinate calls to disqualify this girl from taking part in the quiz. If she is not disqualified, we call to cancel the quiz immediately.
“It is unacceptable that a member of a cult that has removed itself from the Jewish faith will take part in a quiz dedicated to a book that has been holy to the Jews since their inception as a people,” the rabbis wrote.
Nevertheless, Tzurit Berenson, 15, from Nahariya, one of the four Israeli finalists, said that she and the other contestants intended to participate in Thursday’s competition.
“We asked our own rabbis what to do and they told us that we should participate,” said Berenson, who added that she had taught herself the Bible and has been preparing for the quiz for years.
Berenson said religious activists have been trying to discourage her and the other participants from taking part in the quiz, “but we have all decided to go ahead with it.”
The controversy surrounding the participation of 16-year-old Bat-El Levi, from Beersheba, began last week as a result of a campaign led by the haredi anti-missionary organization Yad Le’Achim.
Yad Le’Achim discovered that Levi belonged to a messianic Jewish congregation. The organization immediately contacted rabbis and other spiritual leaders. Rabbi Shlomo Aviner, a leading religious Zionist halachic authority, called to boycott the quiz if the messianic Jew did not forfeit her participation. His call was joined by other rabbis aligned with religious Zionism, including Safed Chief Rabbi Shmuel Eliahu.
Sources close to the Levi family, who did not deny their ties with a messianic Jewish congregation, said there had been attempts by Yad Le’Achim to dissuade Bat-El from taking part in the competition.
A group of activists demonstrated in Dimona when the participants came to the Negev town for a preliminary quiz.
Messianic Jews believe that Jesus is the savior yet see themselves as Jews.
Tamir’s representative, Lital Apter, said the minister had no intention of canceling the quiz or asking Levi not to take part.
“It is too bad that on the 60th anniversary we are dealing with these sorts of things. This should be a time of celebration, not of controversy.
“The point of the quiz is to check the participants’ knowledge of the Bible, not to scrutinize their faith.
The legal department in the Education Ministry verified that Levi is Jewish according to the criteria of the state.
That’s good enough for us,” Apter said.
