Dear Brethren & sisters,

Greetings in our shared hope.

We seek the scope of Ecclesial support for an Aliyah project in Israel. The Israeli government has announced funding to increase to 50,000 per year the number of young Jews from Diaspora coming to Israel in the 'Birthright' program, to learn of their Biblical connection to the land. An opportunity has opened so that Christadelphians could fund the building of a Hostel for this, and other Aliyah programs, in the Judean hills; it would thereby affirm our trust in Ezekiel 38.

Through understanding prophecy in 1879-82, before the First Aliyah, Christadelphians helped purchase land in Galilee, at Rosh Pinna 'Head of the corner' (Psalm 118:22).

It is written, “I will ..gather them.. to their own land, and feed them.. (teach the Word) upon the high mountains of Israel (Ezekiel 34:13-16). Ezekiel prophesies of the disputed “mountains of Israel” (Judea & Samaria) that “they dwell safely all of them,” “without walls, and having neither bars nor gates;” (Ezekiel 38:8-11). We are on the eve of the remarkable removal of the ‘security barrier' wall about Samaria and Judea.

The promises to Abraham are now disputed publicly by world leaders, who wish to take land from Jews, who seek to live in the Land promised to their Fathers, and give it to others (see attached). God is planting an ensign” (nās’ nēs) on the mountains of Judah, “for the nations”, as “He.. shall gather together the dispersed of Judah.” (Isaiah 11:12).

“He that gathers not with me scatters” (Luke 11:23). To encourage Aliyah and the teaching of the promises to the Fathers, a prefabricated 10 bed hostel is proposed. Planted in the Judean hills at the Kfar Etzion Field School it will be called Ohel Nas’ Nes, as “the LORD also shall save the tents (ohel) of Judah first” and it will be for “the governors of Judah,” who Yahweh says he will make a “hearth of fire among the wood” (Zechariah 12:5-7). We could also parallel Jeremiah with the exchange of seventeen Shekels, to affirm that “Men shall buy fields..in Benjamin,..about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah (Jeremiah 32:44).

If an Ecclesia (or individual) wishes to express interest in supporting this project please return email or to address below. If a good response is received funds already set aside for planning & costing will be sent to Israel on behalf of the Ecclesia to start the project planning. This is not a request for donations at this time. We are asking if you would support such a project. We are happy to send more copies of the enclosed flyer.

The time is short. Shall we as one body, as an Ecclesia be found acting on our faith.
