In Search of Aliyah!

How can we search for someone we don’t even know is missing? How can we succeed if we don’t have a clue what this person looks like?

Many of you know that I have referred to Aliyah in many of my newsletters. But what about the majority of others that haven’t?

If I’d ask the average person walking down the street or mall, “What is Aliyah?” they’d probably think I’m referring to Aliyah, a 22 year-old singer who died a few years ago.

Aliyah is a Hebrew term which means to immigrate to Israel. Technically, it portrays the imagery of ascending up to Zion because it doesn’t matter what side of Zion/Jerusalem you come from, it’s always upwards.

It hurts me to say this but many folks I know have lost the fervor and zeal that’s in the center of God’s heart regarding the Aliyah of His Chosen People. And some of those that continue to labor or pray about this have lost what we call in Spanish, las ganas which is the passion of desire.

I have seen many churches turn a cold shoulder against Israel. I know of many Christians that are more pro-Arab (Moslem) than pro-Israel. I have witnessed with my own eyes mainline Christian groups funding major projects among those that continue to terrorize and rain rockets on Israeli communities every single day.

Meantime, I’m very, very sorry to say that Aliyah is missing! In the hearts of many people that know about it, Aliyah has drowned! What’s worst is that we’re doing so little or nothing about it.

Might it be too late to save this holy thing that’s so dear to God– which is the return of Jewish people back to their homeland so that Bible prophecy may continue to be fullfilled?

Anyone that glances at American history will quickly see that America’s role in freeing Jews from Hitler’s Holocaust was a mountain top event in our nation. And anyone that notices that since 1948, when Israel was reborn and became a Statehood, America increased in every conceivable institution across the board. Every time America blessed Israel to win her battles against constant attacks from her enemies which surround her in every direction, God has blessed America like no other nation on the face of this earth.

But where is America today? Just look around. Listen to the daily news. While America and American Christians have turned their back on Israel, what has happened to our America?

Maybe you are not a Jew and neither do you have a dot of Jewish DNA in your body; but I happen to know many of them who are rediscovering their Jewish ancestry and are crying out for help. But meantime, WHERE’S ALIYAH?

I give you my most solemn word: I shall never allow Aliyah– which is the prophetic trumpet blast in God’s heart– to grow cold in me. It matters not what it’ll cost me, “Me and my house shall serve the Lord.” Will you? Will you lend me a little hand?

Shalom,

Dell
