The Jerusalem Prayer List – February 16, 2024

By Joseph Shulam

 This Shabbat is very special to me. I usually do not write or talk about financial contributions to the Lord's ministry in Netivyah. However, this Torah portion is called "Trumah". "Trumah" means a contribution, donation, or offering. 

The reading starts with these words from God to Moses: Exodus 25:1- 6:

"Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying: 2 "Speak to the children of Israel, that they bring Me an offering. From everyone who gives it willingly with his heart, you shall take My offering. 3 And this is the offering which you shall take from them: gold, silver, and bronze; 4 blue, purple, and scarlet thread, fine linen, and goats' hair; 5 ram skins dyed red, badger skins, and acacia wood; 6 oil for the light, and spices for the anointing oil and for the sweet incense…"

Before I explain this text, here are the readings for this Shabbat on February 17, 2024.

The Jewish world will read from the Torah on this Shabbat from Exodus 25:1 – 27:19.

From the Prophets from 1 Kings 5:26-6:13.  

We will be reading from Mathew 12:35-44 from the New Testament. 

Look closely into this text from the Torah, Exodus 25:1-6. Notice that no set amount of money or valuables is mentioned. No tithe of 10% is mentioned here in this first major fundraising event for building the Tabernacle in the Wilderness of Sinai after the Exodus from Egypt. The first time tithing is mentioned is in Genesis 14:20. In this story, Abraham gives 10% (a tithe) to Melchizedek, the King of Jerusalem. 

There were no people of Israel yet, no Levities, Priests, or Tabernacle (Temple), but Abraham knew to give a tithe to Melchizedek, King of Salem! The Torah first mentions the requirement for the general Israelite public to give Tithes in the book of Numbers, chapter 18. All the funds and riches raised for building the Tabernacle in the Wilderness was a "Free will offering" of things that the children of Israel brought out of Egypt in the Exodus. The people of Israel could bring gold, silver, bronze, blue cloth, purple cloth, acacia wood, oil for the lamps in the Tabernacle, ram skins, spices and some sweet incense…". In the New Testament, there is also no command for Yeshua's disciples in Israel or the diaspora to give tithes to the Apostles or the church.  

The second instruction of significant importance is the following prerequisites for these gifts (offerings) for the Tabernacle building: "Everyone who gives it willingly with his heart you shall take My offering." These prerequisites are essential. I am worried and concerned about what is going on in many of the evangelical churches in the world today. What is going on is wrong and borders on witchcraft and false teaching, like charlatan and con-man jobs. 

This is the prevalent teaching in Evangelical Christian Churches in the West: 

If you give your Tithe to the church, God will give back to you! 

The principle used here is a great biblical and logical principle based on what is called in Hebrew Mida – Ceneged – Mida! This logical principle states that whatever you do unto others will be done to you, measure for measure. Matthew 7:1-5 says:

 "Judge not, that you be not judged. 2 For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you. 3 And why do you look at the speck in your brother's eye, but do not consider the plank in your eye? 4 Or how can you say to your brother, "Let me remove the speck from your eye'; and look a plank is in your own eye? 5 Hypocrite! First, remove the plank from your eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye."

We find the same principle in a similar context. It does not deal with giving money or something worth money and receiving back a windfall if you contribute to the church or the pastor. You cannot bribe God, buy God's favor financially, or otherwise manipulate giving. Paul also uses this principle in 2 Corinthians 9:6- 9: 

"But this I say: He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. 7 So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver. 8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work. 9 As it is written: "He has dispersed abroad; He has given to the poor; His righteousness endures forever."  

We must be constantly aware that God is Righteous in all His ways, but God's righteousness is not based on what or how much we give. God is not a Wall Street stockbroker. He doesn't need our money, Gold or Silver. Here are Paul's words in Athens, Greece, before the Greek Supreme Court:  

Acts 17: 24-28, "God, who made the world and everything in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands. 25 Nor is He worshiped with men's hands, as though He needed anything since He gives to all life, breath, and all things. 26 And He has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined their preappointed times and the boundaries of their dwellings, 27 so that they should seek the Lord, in the hope that they might grope for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us; 28 for in Him we live and move and have our being, as also some of your own poets have said, "For we are also His offspring.'"  

We also have the story of the poor widow and the rich pharisee, which demonstrates that God looks at us on a relative basis, not absolutes.  

Luke 21:1- 4: "And He looked up and saw the rich putting their gifts into the treasury, 2 and He saw also a certain poor widow putting in two mites. 3 So He said, "Truly I say to you that this poor widow has put in more than all; 4 for all these out of their abundance have put in offerings for God, but she out of her poverty put in all the livelihood that she had."

God is interested in a sincere heart-based relationship, and that relationship is not with our bank accounts but our hearts and souls and motives and love for each other and our families. Please connect the reading from the New Testament this Shabbat with the reading from the Torah: 

Matthew 12:33-36, "Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or else make the tree bad and its fruit bad; for a tree is known by its fruit. 34 Brood of vipers! How can you, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks. 35 A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good things, and an evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth evil things. 36 But I say to you that for every idle word man may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment. 37 For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned."  

Again, the heart and the intentions of the heart are much more important to God than the amount of cash we give. Giving from our pocketbook is much easier than giving from our hearts because giving anything demands a sincere and authentic relationship. What are the ingredients of a sincere and authentic relationship of our hearts: 

1. Never forget that God and we human beings can feel and understand a sincere and genuine relationship of our hearts. Love is a tangible thing that we feel, and we know it not only from the words we speak to each other but also from our deeds, feelings, and instincts. It is not always easy to notice and comprehend love because we are all complex beings, God-like in some aspects of our human intelligence. We have imagination, calculation, and a very complex set of needs that are not always understood or appreciated by those whom we love and those people whom we do not love, but we want them to think that we love them in order to harvest something from them that is not out of love but from our greed or some other than love motiv

2. How we give and value our relationship indicates that we understand when we give anything to each other or God, including time spent together and how our time is used when we are together. In Asia, especially in Japan, the value of the gift is not the only thing that indicates the value of our love. How our gifts are packaged, and the source of our gifts are judged are indications of how much we value the person or persons to whom we give the gift. 

3. A genuine relationship is also based on truth. People typically feel insincerity, giving to "buy" their favor. Sometimes, you can give precious and meaningful gifts out of manipulative motives that usually reveal themselves soon after you give them. The difference between God and us is that God knows our hearts and motives long before we establish relationships. Humans usually do not recognize our motives, and that is how many people fall into the hands of insincere people who take advantage of our sincerity and innocence. 

3. Time with each other is another factor that shows sincerity and our hearts' intentions. You cannot truly love someone you try to avoid or escape from spending time with. After a long, condemning text against Israel's relationship and insincere worship of God, Isaiah receives a simple but fundamental formula for restoring and rebuilding the relationship with the Almighty ONE of Israel: 

Isaiah 1:16 – 2:1, "Wash yourselves, make yourselves clean; Put away the evil of your doings from before My eyes. Cease to do evil, 17 Learn to do good; Seek justice, Rebuke the oppressor; Defend the fatherless, Plead for the widow. 18 "Come now, and let us reason together," Says the LORD, "Though your sins are like scarlet, They shall be as white as snow; Though they are red like crimson, They shall be as wool. 19 If you are willing and obedient, You shall eat the good of the land; 20 But if you refuse and rebel, You shall be devoured by the sword"; 2:1 For the mouth of the LORD has spoken."

What makes our gifts, contributions, and offerings valuable is not the amount or the packaging. But the relationship of our hearts. Remember that the Great Creator of Heavens and Earth, with millions of angels, is looking and waiting for your love, gifts, offerings, and time spent with Him and His people. The poor widow was much more impressive to God than the hypocritical but generous offering giver. 

Special note to all those who have contributed generously to the Israeli military fighting the war against the Hamas Terrorist organization:

1. No one but God can judge your hearts, but your deeds have been a wonderful and powerful statement to the Israeli soldiers themselves and the military authorities. 

2. Your gifts blessed our men and women in the bloody battlefields of Gaza and the North of Israel on the top of cold and snowy Mount Hermon, but the fact that you, Christians from as far as the east from the west and the north from the south of every race, color, and national identity, have sacrificed and made offerings to Israeli, Jewish, Christians, Druz, Arab, men and women fighting a just and righteous war against an enemy not less cruel and evil than the Amalek.  

3. You who have given from your hearts, the widows and the wealthy, all alike, have changed the attitudes and the understandings of a significant number of men and women in the Israeli armed forces about the Christians who love Israel and love the God of Israel.  

God bless the sincere and cheerful givers to Israel, as Paul commanded in Romans 15:

25-29, "But now I am going to Jerusalem to minister to the saints. 26 For it pleased those from Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution for the poor among the saints who are in Jerusalem. 27 It pleased them indeed, and they are their debtors. For if the Gentiles have been partakers of their spiritual things, their duty is also to minister to them in material things. 28 Therefore, when I have performed this and have sealed to them this fruit, I shall go by way of you to Spain. 29 But I know that when I come to you, I shall come in the fullness of the blessing of the Gospel of Christ."

Some final words on this teaching from the Torah portion, the prophets, and the New Testament about giving. 

The war against the terrorist group Hamas is not the most critical war that Israel and the Jewish communities worldwide are facing. The very cause and motive of the war of Israel against the Hamas in Gaza requires your prayers and your financial support. First, I want you, dear brothers and sisters worldwide, to know that it does not say that God loves the rich and very generous giver; it says that God loves a cheerful giver. The numerical value of the given amount is related to our hearts. 

Very few people will give significant offerings from their hearts and not be cheerful givers; one can be cheerful when he gives something from his heart. The amount of the gift is not the most important thing that God and men ought to look for as an indication of the hearts of our brothers and sisters. The relationship, communication, the packaging of love, and prayer of the givers of the offering and appreciation for God's love and grace make their desire to give good gifts and be blessings to Israel, as Paul states in Romans 15:25-29.   

An end note to this teaching:

1. It is hard to judge others for what they do and give to God, His people, and their churches. So, it is best not to judge anyone.

2. We have people who give monthly small amounts, sometimes even one dollar, sometimes 3 or 5 dollars. Some of these people, brothers, and sisters, give these 3 or 5 dollars from the food they take out of their mouths. I know and feel their love, sincerity, and standing with God, Israel, and the Lord's work in Netivyah, both in Israel and other parts of the world. My point is that the amount is much less significant to God and me. The faithfulness and consistency of the gifts are a much better and bigger indication of the heart of these people.  

3. As I said above, the war in Gaza and the North of Israel is important. However, the truth is that there is a much more significant and crucial global war against Israel and God's people worldwide that is not addressed or even mentioned in most Christian churches. It is the war of those who hate God and hate God's people. There is no way that you can love God and Yeshua (Jesus) and hate His nation and his people, the Jewish people specifically. God loves all his children, the black and yellow, red and white. However, there is no other nation in the face of God's good earth that has a continual threat of more than one group of people and nations that have set their goal to wipe out the nation of Israel. This is the goal of the Hamas, and this is the goal of Iran both in their history (read the book of Esther) and present.  

Netivyah International and I have set a vision to fight against Antisemitism, Jew and Israel hate, in every way and in all the means that God is going to use to provide for this end-time war for the sake of Zion and the fulfillment of God's promises to the world and especially to the Church of sincere and truth-seeking Christians. 

How are small Netivyah Bible Instruction Ministry and Netivyah International fighting and resisting the tsunami of anti-Israel, anti-Zionism – anti-Jewish attitudes and actions of violence and persecution around the world? 

Here is the game plan that I am proposing for Netivyah, and I am asking you first to pray for us to be able and have the means to accomplish this mega project.

1. I would like to publish material on the Netivyah Bible Instruction Ministry and Netivyah International websites dealing with and exposing the anti-Jewish and anti-Israel oxymoron called Christianity. How could Christians be anti-Jewish? They read and supposedly believe the Bible, a Jewish book from Genesis to Revelation.  

2. You cannot worship and love Yeshua Ben David Ben Abraham (as the words of the first chapter of Matthew start the Gospel.) and hate His nation, the nation of Israel – i.e., the Jewish nation. I want to be invited to churches of any denomination, even by the Pope in Rome, and spread out the Biblical and New Testament reasons why every Christian ought to stand with Israel and with the Jewish nation and defend and stand and protect the Jewish community in his town and his neighborhood. 

I realize that many call themselves Christians, but they are far from being disciples of Jesus (Yeshua). If you hate the Torah (Old Testament) and the Jewish people, you are not a disciple of the Messiah; you are a hater of God, the Creator of this world and our whole Universe. 

If you are in the middle Tennessee area, email me at the email address above and invite me to come and speak to you and your group only from God's Word about the relationship between Christians and Israel and the Jewish nation. God willing, I will be in the United States and in Middle Tennessee from February 22nd, 2024, to March 23, 2024, available in Middle Tennessee to speak to any church or group on the importance and imperative of Christians to stand with and protect the Jewish people. Solidarity with Israel is a biblical imperative from the New Testament. I will, God willing, return to Middle Tennessee from April 6 to 10.

3. I am sorry to state that I have been diagnosed in the last few weeks with pancreatic cancer and two cancerous lymph glands in my lungs. They are all stage 1, and the doctor states that a few more tests must be done to make the treatment plans. However, dear brothers, pray for my health and Marcia, my wife's health, which is essential to my healing. Please pray for my family's health and Israel and the Jewish communities all over the world. Please stand with us and with Netivyah both in Israel and Internationally.  

Pray for the state of Israel to open its doors to the Annusim, those Jews that were forced to convert to Catholicism with torture and burring Jews in the center of their cities in both Europe and Central and South America and even in Asia and persecution of every kind and between the 15th and 18th centuries.  

4. Go to our web pages. 

Netivyah.org and Netivyahinternational.org

Here, you can learn more and contribute to this end-time battle that must be fought. God is testing my resolve with these new and challenging health discoveries. I am not giving up. This battle against antisemitism is truly an end-time war spread around the whole world, from the streets of New York to the slums of Malmo, Sweden. 

God bless you all, our dear brothers. Do not forget to continue the generosity and offerings to the Lord's work through Netivyah, both for Netivyah Bible Instruction Ministry and Netivyah International. 

Netivyah in both branches is one in the spirit, one in the mission, and one in the Lord!

Your prayers for brothers and sisters whom you don’t know personally is a pure love and pure building of the Body of the Messiah.  It is really Agape Love since you are doing this without any selfish interests and casting a vote in heaven for someone who is your brother but you don’t know him or her, and God looks at these prayers that are unselfish and true expression of love and care for another link in the long chain of love and faith that binds us together even though we might not know each other in this world.  When we all get to heaven what a joy it will be to meet people that we prayed for and sometime even cried for brothers and sisters who are physically strangers, but spiritually a part of the same body of Christ that one day we will have the privilege to seat together and share: “I remember praying for you to be healed!”  “I remember praying for you to be safe when you were fighting in Gaza to free the hostages from the cruel hands of the terrorists of the Hamas in Gaza

Serious prayers for our war with Hamas to end soon and all the hostages to be returned safe and in one piece home to their loved ones!

Pray for our soldiers and especially for the soldiers that we know and appreciate: Yuda, Emanuel the son of Victor and Ayala, Amiel and Solomon and Ezekiel Intrater, Reuven and Clil Kovner, and any other children of Believers and of course for all of the men and women serving this country.  

I hate that our boys, the men of our congregation, still serve in the Army and most of them in reserves have to fight and use weapons and do war to protect the civilian population of Israel from terrorism driven by hate and blindness.  

Please pray for the Middle East and for the world to see and understand what the reality is here in this part of the world.  The lands that provided King David, the prophets, and Yeshua the Messiah – want peace with our neighbors. But they don’t want the hand that is stretched out in peace. They want to kill all the Jews and take their land, which is flourishing and a blessing for all the world, and make it a dump like their own place in Gaza and in the Arab countries. 

In Jerusalem pray for the following brothers and sisters who need divine grace and the gentle touch of the hand of God for healing and strength.

The South shall possess the mountains of Esau, And the Lowland shall possess Philistia. They shall possess the fields of Ephraim And the fields of Samaria. Benjamin shall possess Gilead. And the captives of this host of the children of Israel Shall possess the land of the Canaanites As far as Zarephath.
