IN THE MARGIN - JULY 6, 2026

A weekly note from Netivyah International:

Scripture, ministry, Israel awareness, and resources for faithful living.

Monday, July 6, 2026Theme: Kingdom Framework

Kingdom language can sound familiar enough that we stop hearing how weighty it really is. Yeshua spoke about the reign of God breaking into real life, calling people to listen, repent, and come into alignment with the King. At the start of a new week, that gives us a steady place to begin. Before the noise, before the long list of responsibilities, we are reminded that God’s rule reaches into ordinary life and asks what is shaping our priorities, our trust, and our daily obedience.. (Beth Shulam)

This Week’s Scripture Anchor:

From that time on, Yeshua began to proclaim, "Repent for the Kingdom of Heaven has come near." Matthew 4:17

Yeshua began by telling people that God is King, and we need to turn our hearts and lives back to Him.

In the Margin Blog from Elizabeth Shulam

In depth dialogue on this week’s theme of:

In the Gospels, the kingdom is spoken into Israel’s life, Israel’s longing, Israel’s Scriptures, and Israel’s tension under foreign rule. The people hearing Yeshua already knew the language of kingship, covenant, promise, judgment, deliverance, and hope. They were not waiting for another generic spiritual message. They were waiting for God to act.

That is why kingdom language in the New Testament should never be detached from the story of Israel.  It carried centuries of prayer, suffering, exile, return, disappointment, and hope.

Ministry Spotlight:  Magen David Adom Fundraiser

In these difficult days, as Israel faces ongoing missile attacks from Iran and Hezbollah in Lebanon, families across the country are living under constant threat. In moments like these, emergency response is immediate, urgent, and often lifesaving.

Magen David Adom, Israel’s national emergency medical service, serves on the front lines of that reality. When sirens sound and lives are at risk, paramedics and volunteers move quickly to treat the injured, rescue the wounded, and bring help where it is needed most. Their work is a tangible expression of compassion in the middle of crisis.

At Netivyah International, we believe standing with Israel should take visible and meaningful form. Support is not only something we say. It is something we do. Through this campaign, we are inviting our community of Jews and Christians who love Israel and Yeshua to join us in a practical act of mercy by helping support lifesaving emergency response.

Blue Heart Movement Takeaway

Matthew 27:25 has been twisted for centuries into a weapon against the Jewish people, but the text itself points in a very different direction. In this teaching, Beth explores Matthew 27:15–26 and asks whether the crowd before Pilate represented all Jews for all generations. She traces how Scripture rejects inherited guilt through Deuteronomy 24:16 and Ezekiel 18:20, while showing that the New Testament spreads responsibility for the crucifixion across Rome, Jerusalem's leadership, the disciples, and humanity's sin. The lesson also connects Matthew 27 to Matthew 26:28, where Yeshua's blood is presented not as a curse but as covenant, forgiveness, and redemption.
