Leading Rabbi comes to Christ

This is a must see: Rabbi Yitzhak Kaduri Who Believed in Jesus - YouTube

Some 10 years ago, Israel's leading Rabbi Yitzhak Kaduri came to believe in Messiah, Yehoshua Jesus. It seems there was a massive media cover-up in Israel, the international and also evangelical media…. Many of his disciples have come to Christ too though…. After checking it out in the internet, I believe he actually came to salvation through Christ.

Romans 11:25-27, "Lest you be wise in your own sight, I want you to understand this mystery, brothers: a partial hardening has come upon Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. And in this way all Israel will be saved, as it is written, "The Deliverer will come from Zion, he will banish ungodliness from Jacob, and this will be my covenant with them when I take away their sins."

Praying about revival

"Does it grieve you my friends, that the name of God is being taken in vain and desecrated? Does it grieve you that we are living in a godless age… But, we are living in such an age and the main reason we should be praying about revival is that we are anxious to see God's name vindicated and His glory manifested. We should be anxious to see something happening that will arrest the nations, all the peoples, and cause them to stop and to think again." D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones

Isaiah 64:1, "Oh, that you would rend the heavens and come down…."

Movie "Silence"

"Silence" should be a thought provoking movie, coming out this fall. The movie includes one of my favorite actors Liam Neeson (Les Miserables). Liam Neeson Talks About Filming Martin Scorsese’s ‘Silence’ | Variety. 

I've read the book by the Japanese writer Shusaku Endo. It's troubling in some ways. How does one handle the silence of God? Reminds me of Psalm 39 (Heman's Cry of Darkness). 

Ps 39:5b, "…Surely all mankind stands as a mere breath!.."
