Awakenings – leaders needed!

It wasn’t so long ago that our ancestors said we would worship in Jerusalem in their daily prayers, but deep down couldn’t even imagine the possibility of that ever happening. Then, miraculously, Jerusalem was once again ours and is the center of Jewish life.

Now, just as we approach Tisha B’Av, we once again mourn the destruction of the temple and daven for its rebuilding and to once again be the center of Jewish life. Yet, who can imagine such a thing under the current situation, with the dome of the rock sitting in the place of the holy of holies, and Jewish visitors spit on, screamed at, and harassed during visits… arrested immediately if their lips are seen moving even silently – fear that they may be praying. 

Who could have ever imagined that Muslims would BOYCOTT the TEMPLE MOUNT? Only Jews are visiting the site, without harassment, and freely able to pray. If the time to see the rebuilding is not now, I certainly see this as part of the process. 

It’s amazing to see God’s hand working in plain sight! 

Do we have leaders up for the challenge of standing up to the enemy and trusting God, and not politics? Will the real leaders please stand up!

About the Author
Shannon Nuszen, a former evangelical missionary, has spent her life deeply immersed in studying and analyzing Christian scriptural arguments. Raised in the world of religious apologetics, Shannon is the daughter of a former "Assemblies of God" minister. As a child, she traveled with him as an evangelist, gaining firsthand experience in the inner workings of the evangelical movement. She has witnessed the manipulative tactics often employed to convert Jews to Christianity, sparking her critical awareness of these methods. In 2000, Shannon began an intensive study of the Christian messianic movement, affiliating with some of the most deceptive missionary organizations targeting the Jewish community. This deep involvement gave her unparalleled insight into the missionary agenda and its significant threats to Jewish communities in Israel and the Diaspora. For nearly two decades, Shannon has been an active participant in the counter-missionary field, though it is only in recent years that she has begun to publicly share her own transformative journey. In 2020, Shannon founded *Beyneynu* with the mission of raising awareness among Jewish leaders about the missionary agenda and monitoring missionary activities in Israel and around the world. Through her work, she continues to protect and strengthen Jewish communities against these targeted efforts.
