The Gospels are rich with the many parables of Jesus and his inspiring teachings on the coming Kingdom of God. Many of his sermons begin with the words, “the Kingdom of God is like unto…” He also told his disciples that the Kingdom was breaking out around them. And for many Christians down through the centuries, this was considered a new message about a soon-arriving Kingdom of God that was being introduced only in the New Testament. Yet the truth is that the Kingdom was already there in the Old Testament in the form of the nation of Israel. But it was being transformed and placed into the hands of the Jewish followers of Jesus who would finally bear its fruits. These biblical truths were laid out recently in a message delivered by Israeli pastor Peter Tsukahira at the 2014 Feast of Tabernacles celebration in Jerusalem. He recounted how the disciples asked the Lord in Acts chapter 1, when would the Kingdom be ‘restored’ to Israel. This meant it had to have already existed within the commonwealth of Israel in Old Testament times. Israel and the Kingdom of God! That’s our focus this week here on Front Page Jerusalem. We’ll bring you excerpts from the message delivered by Israeli pastor Peter Tsukahira at the recent Feast of Tabernacles gathering in Jerusalem. A Messianic leader in Israel for almost 30 years now, he has a global teaching ministry which helps Christians worldwide understand God’s purposes for Israel in our day. Plus, we’ll have an update and analysis on some of the latest developments in Israel and the region.

When al-Qaida launched its mass terror attacks on the World Trade Center and other American targets on September 11th, 2001, we thought we had seen the worst that radical Islam could muster. But now the Islamic State terror militia has unleashed such brutal atrocities in Iraq and Syria, that even al-Qaida followers are distancing themselves from these rabid jihadists. Yet there are some in the West who are being strangely drawn to the Islamic State, choosing to leave behind home and family in order to join this Muslim blood-thirst. So far, hundreds of Westerners have volunteered for the group’s insane jihad to vanquish all infidels and establish a global caliphate. Even fellow Sunni Muslims in Iraq and Syria are being targeted as apostates because they refuse to live under the rule of the Islamic State. So what is the real agenda of the Islamic State terror militia? Why has it been so successful thus far in recruiting Westerners to join their holy war for a global caliphate? How much of a danger are they to Israel and the West? And what does the future hold for Iraq and Syria? Inside the Islamic State! That’s our focus next week here on Front Page Jerusalem. We’ll bring you insights and analysis on the radical jihadist group that has been terrorizing Iraq and Syria over recent months. Our guest analyst will beProf. Raphael Israeli of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, a leading author and scholar on Islam. Plus, we’ll have an update on the recent troubles and tensions in Jerusalem and how you can help Israeli families impacted by Palestinian terror.
