“On the first day of classes, Prime Minister Netanyahu, along with his Education Minister Naftali Bennett, met with 200 students, urging them to be serious about their studies—not excluding the Bible. During his speech, He said,

I want you to listen to me because I want you to learn—learn to write, learn to read, learn Hebrew, Arabic and English…I want you to learn mathematics.  I want you to learn science.  I want you to learn history—History of the Jewish People, the history of your public.  I want you to learn the truth, and the truth says that we are destined to live together…I want you to be doctors, scientists and writers, and be whatever you want to, and are able to, be.  I want you to be loyal citizens, integrated into the state of Israel; this is your state.”

Emphasizing the importance of honoring parents and teachers, he added, “Learn well.  Go back home and do what mother and father tell you!”

Later in the day, in an address to Israel’s students at large, he emphasized,

“First of all the study of the Bible.  We must make a major effort; this is the basis for why we are here, why we have returned here, why we stay here.”   —(“Netanyahu tells Israeli students: Study the Bible”, WND, 4 Sept 2016 3:12 p.m.)

PLEASE PRAY:

* That Israeli students will read and study their Bibles on their own; that the Spirit of God will reveal to them Life and Truth as they read.  That they will not be discouraged from this by the many secular teachers who do not take it seriously.

* That the Prime Minister would be diligent in “searching the Scriptures” himself.  He claims to read it, and he oversees a Bible Study each month.  He has had much exposure to Believers, and many pray regularly for him (We know of a small powerful group of Spirit-filled Believers with whom he had audience only this past week).  Pray that the Word of God take root and bear fruit in his spirit, and that of his wife Sara.

Pray for a widespread revelation of who Jesus is to the Jewish people wherever they are. May they come to receive Him with their whole hearts at this time of fulfillment of what their prophets have written!
