Editor’s note: Joseph Farah is on vacation. The following is a repeat of his popular column of Feb. 7.
Have you been saying to yourself, "Next year in Jerusalem"?
How long have you been talking about or thinking about that once-in-a-lifetime trip to Israel?
Are you one of those Christians who understands Israel's centrality to the Bible but haven't been there yet – or perhaps haven't visited for a very long time?
TRENDING: America's most dangerous demographic
Let me suggest to you that this is the year for you to go.
And let me also invite you to go with me and Jonathan Cahn this fall.
You can't say it's last minute. I'm giving you more notice than I ever have before. We've been doing these tours since 2013 because we know they are among the most faith-enriching experiences participants ever have. That's what we hear over and over again from participants.
Here's what makes them so:
- I know a thing or two about Israel myself. My first experience there came about 35 years ago when I was a Middle East foreign correspondent for the Hearst Newspapers. I became the most prominent Arab-American defender of Israel, debating everyone from hard-core Islamists to Christian anti-Zionists on radio and television. I put Joan Peters' "From Time Immemorial," the best modern history of the Jewish state, back in print and back in the public consciousness. And currently I am writing a book for release in 2017 on Israel's prophesied role – and your role as a believer – in God's coming Kingdom.
- Jonathan Cahn is America's premiere messianic rabbi whose rich teachings have shaken the nation to the core – from "The Harbinger," which explained the existential threat posed by the U.S. rapid shift from God's ways, to "The Mystery of the Shemitah," which demonstrated the real-life consequences of turning from God, to his growing collection of mind-blowing, spirit-directed sermons and expositions make him one of the most sought-after speakers, media guests and interviews in the church. I can tell you, as someone who has been to Israel dozens of times, if you haven't been to Israel with Jonathan Cahn, you're missing a lot. This will be my third trip with him, and each one provides a powerful spiritual recharge.
- The annual WND Israel Tour boasts the very best Israeli tour company in the business. Coral Tours is headed by a retired full bird colonel in the Israel Defense Forces, a paratrooper who served in most of Israel's wars and one of the IDF's top logistics experts. Believe me, with the size of the groups we bring to Israel, that kind of expertise comes in handy. His name is Shalom Almog (That's right – Shalom is his real name!) and you will come to love and respect him and his team when you come to Israel with us.
- We have identified the best tour guides in Israel through all of our trips there. Not only do they know all the sites inside and out, but they all have a special love, fondness and appreciation for the Christian believers who come to visit their country.
Then, of course, there's Israel itself – majestic, mysterious, historical. In this tiny little country, you will experience the solitude of the desert wilderness, where Jesus-Yeshua spent 40 days and 40 nights contesting with the devil. You will fall in love with the Galilee, the lush northern area Jesus-Yeshua and His disciples called home. And you will bask in the sights and sounds of Jerusalem, walking in the footsteps of your Messiah.
We'll have plenty of time for personal interaction, special talks, questions and answers and, of course, shopping.
Do I need to continue?
Or are you with me yet?
Is the Holy Spirit whispering to you that it's time?
November might seem like it's far away, but we will be taking off just after the presidential election, and we're never sure whether we will have this opportunity again.
So will you prayerfully consider this invitation today?
