LETTER FROM REV MALCOLM HEDDING

Sadly I am writing to tell you that we are still stuck in Israel although we do have confirmed tickets to fly back to the USA over the weekend via the UAE. However, this does mean that we will not be able to leave again on the 15th October, arriving on the 16th.

I have consequently asked the ICEJ UK office to get our ticket's changed in order to leave on the 19th arriving at Heathrow on the 20th. This sadly means that our plans for the south have to be cancelled and we will be unable to see you. I deeply regret this, but no one expected this war. In fact, there is a real possibility that we will not be able to get out on the weekend due to the escalation of the conflict, which is expected. So, we have to trust God and see what happens 

The situation here is tense, dangerous and filled with apprehension. The discovery yesterday of 200 murdered people on a Kibbutz in the south has shaken the nation. Men, women and children were ruthlessly gunned down, the young women were shot in the legs to immobilize them and then they were brutally raped and killed. In addition, 40 murdered babies were found of which many had been beheaded and dismembered. This is the pure evil of Islam as all this was done while the terrorists, obeying their Iranian overlords, shouted Alhu Akbar!

Anyway, we appreciate your prayers and trust that Jesus will help us all as we seek to serve Him in these dark days.

Your friend,

Malcolm

ARTICLE FROM REV MALCOLM HEDDING

Dear Friends,



At the root of the real battle for Israel is the fact that nations, peoples and entities of all types are in rebellion against the God of the Bible. This rebellion is wicked and evil and is designed to destroy God and His redemptive purpose in the earth. These evil entities are fueled by the Devil and his unseen demonic powers with whom they willingly co-operate.

Unable to attack God they resort to the next and only option and that is to ruthlessly attack the people who are named by Him. This is so because He reveals Himself to the world through them as the God of Israel. That is, to put it another way, the God of the Jews! This is the clear teaching of Psalm 83:

“Do not keep silent, O God! Do not hold your peace, and do not be still, O God! For behold, Your enemies make a tumult, and those who hate You have lifted up their head. They take crafty counsel against Your people, and consulted together against Your sheltered ones. They have said, “Come, let us cut them off from being a nation, that the name of Israel may be remembered no more.”

In these last few days we have witnessed the pure evil and wickedness of Hamas who in the name of their Muslim religion, and shouting “Allah is Great”, massacred 1200 Jews on one day.

Just yesterday we learned that Israel’s army discovered a Kibbutz in the south of the country where two hundred men, women and children were murdered. They were gunned down in cold blood, the young women were immobilized by being shot in the legs and then they were raped and killed. In addition they found forty infants, a good number of which had been beheaded and dismembered. Such evil, as the President of Israel stated, was last seen in the Holocaust! The same devils have infested these Islamic entities , including Iran, with the intention of liquidating Israel, the Jews everywhere and even the Christians. In fact, just two days ago a Hamas leader in Gaza actually affirmed this.

However, the truth is, that according to Psalm 83, in attacking Israel in this most barbaric and evil manner they have in fact attacked the God of Israel, the God of the Bible. His anger is aroused and, as the psalmist said, He will now arise, He will not be silent and He will not be still. His enemies will be scattered! In fact He will arise through the very people that they hoped to massacre and He will humiliate and destroy them just as He did in the Six Day War of 1967.

The days ahead will be tough and we must arise to and join the battle against this evil entity by taking a place of intercession on behalf of Israel and we must do all that we can to comfort them in practical ways. Now is the time to act. Eighty years ago the Church was silent as the Nazis murdered the Jews but things are different now as the Lord has raised up a spiritual army in the nations, numbering in the millions, who will come to their aid and are.

Cheryl and I are still in Israel and I can tell you that the nation is united, demonstrated by the formation of a unity government and 850,000 young men and women who have responded to the call to take up arms and defend their people. There is apprehension in the air as everyone awaits Israel’s assault against Gaza by which Hamas, and all its fellow islamists, will be eliminated. It is similar to the apprehension that was felt in England, America and beyond when thousands of young people stormed the beaches of Normandy in June of 1944 in order to deal with exactly the same evil entity.

The God of Israel helped them and He will do the same today. Of this you can be sure! Please join the battle for Israel.

May God bless you
