Quotes
Israel has to battle every day just to stay alive but God always keeps it alive. When you look at it, 4000 years and you have all the ancient empires, they’re all gone. Israel is still there. So this is a blip on the radar screen. In history, Israel is going to be here thousands of years from now. -Rabbi Jonathan Cahn
There’s an anger because the agenda that was going downhill with America has been halted to a degree or at least it’s being threatened to be halted and the darkness hates it. And it’s not that these are the enemies but they are in darkness. -Rabbi Jonathan Cahn

This song goes along with Rabbi Cahn’s message for today 12JUN17: The One I’m Dying for (sung by the Isaacs)
(lyrics below)
Outside, I hear them talking.
Could it be it’s me they’re mocking?
An eye for an eye–is all that matters anymore.
Pilate put me in this prison,
And I deserve what I’ve been given:
A life for a life and that’s the one I’m dying for.
I caught the eye of a man who was beaten.
I saw the truth, even I believed Him
Now I can tell from my cell, who they’re wantin’ more.
I hear them cry, “Release Barabbas!”
In disbelief, I turned to Jesus.
He looked at me and He said, “Go free. You’re the one I’m dying for.”
For the one who is hurting and the one who has done wrong.
For the one who needs healing and feels like hope is gone.
For the weary who can’t carry his cross anymore:
You’re the one, you’re the one I’m dying for.
For the one with all the questions and the one who just believes,
For the one who casts the first stone and the one down on her knees,
For the weary who can’t carry his cross anymore:
You’re the one, you’re the one,
You’re the one, you’re the one I’m dying for.
