‘Israel Bible’ used to get evangelical support; Jews should look more at the prophecies Jesus fulfilled

Amazon says that the relative new Israel Bible is now a best seller.

The group behind it is Jewish. One televised news report I saw about a week ago said that the group wanted support from Christians essentially for the nation of Israel.

Here is an online report:

September 8, 2018

The founder and director of Israel365, Rabbi Naphtali Weisz, says his organization seeks to cultivate a positive relationship between Jews and Christians, while reinforcing Christian support for Israel in the United States. Weisz founded Israel365 in 2012 after immigrating to Israel from Columbus, Ohio. Unlike the much larger advocacy groups Christians United for Israel and the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, Weisz says Israel365 has a biblical focus: Its objective is “educating Christians about Israel” by “highlighting the biblical significance of Israel.” It does that primarily through digital media outreach. Its main avenues are a news site, Facebook page with 98,000 followers, and daily email newsletter featuring biblical verses that has racked up over 300,000 subscribers.

“Jews aren’t, generally speaking, reaching out to Christians and teaching Christians about the Bible, and that’s the void we’re looking to fill,” Weisz said. …

Weisz said much of the Israel-registered corporation’s funding is derived from the sale of goods on its website, including the Israel Bible, jewelry, maps of Biblical Israel and other assorted knickknacks. Israel365 also generates revenue from donations, as well as ads on its news site and daily newsletter.

Israel365’s “Israel Bible,” … is supplemented by “contemporary commentary [that] highlights the role of the modern State of Israel in the fulfillment of Biblical prophecy.” Published in honor of Israel’s 70th anniversary, the text highlights verses “that relate to Israel, including relevant quotes and perspectives from prime ministers, as well as abundant maps, charts, and illustrations.”

Yehudah Glick, a Likud party member of Knesset who advocates increased Jewish access to the Temple Mount, headed the study session. https://forward.com/news/israel/403254/israeli-evangelical-news-website-mixes-current-events-with-biblical/

Well, I for one, would like to better reach Jews and others about the prophecies of the Bible, including those that Jesus fulfilled.

(Yehuda Glick used to be the executive director of the Temple Institute, a group that wants to build a Jewish temple, but is willing to start animal sacrifices without the need for an actual temple.)

In order to do the latter, we have been putting together a new book titled : Proof Jesus is the Messiah.

Jews should have accepted Jesus. The New Testament records that He fulfilled over 200 prophecies in the Old Testament, He came when the Romans ruled, and the Temple was destroyed after Jesus came, consistent with the prophecy in Daniel 9.

This free book can be helpful for both Jews and Gentiles.
