From Eliyahu:

Shalom friends,

An empty tomb.He had told them several times that He would be killed, and then raised from the dead in three days, but even His closest friends could not grasp or accept what He was saying. Even when it happened, just like He said, and He was killed and laid in a tomb, no one expected Y'shua to rise from the dead. They were all in mourning and in shock, as they shared the burden of their great loss together. When word came from trusted friends who had been there, that the tomb was empty, and that Y'shua had been raised from the dead, his closest disciples still wouldn't believe it. A significant part of the account of the resurrected Messiah recorded in the Gospels is devoted to the unbelief associated with His resurrection, and His making Himself known to His disciples and friends, in His same body, living once again.

If these accounts were not true and just a story made up by His disciples to launch their new religion, as some say, how likely is it that they would portray themselves as full of unbelief? Wouldn't the story show everyone else as unbelievers, while the disciples devoutly stood by His side and believed Him all along? Wouldn't their faithful belief in, and support, of their Messiah be presented as the reason why we should trust in their story? The real story is very different from that, the real story presented in the Gospels, the story in which His disciples failed Him at every turn through and immediately after His ordeal, death and resurrection. According to that real story, they acted just as we probably would have acted in their place. Death is final. We all have seen it. We all have dreaded it. We all know that when your number is up even the most skilled surgeon will not be able to hold back that all-consuming foe. We all are slow to believe anyone could come back from death, and rightly so.

It was all real.Of course, that's what makes His resurrection from the dead such a powerful and meaningful event. If its true, if He really was raised from the dead, that means that death really has been defeated, and you really can be raised from the dead through Him as well! As true and as wonderful as that may be, unbelief is a tough nut to crack. Unbelief is represented as logical, but it really isn't, because unbelief avoids belief by making up endless excuses to avoid acceptance of an unacceptable truth. The Gospel accounts are being verified by hard facts, and most unbelievers just keep blowing it off.

Take, for example, The NBC NEWS article entitled "Gospel Verse Found On Ancient Shrine." The article reports on the discovery of inscriptions on an ancient shrine in Jerusalem, The monument is in the Kidron Valley, to the east of Jerusalem’s walled Old City and west of the Mount of Olives. one of the inscriptions is the same as a verse from the Gospel book of Luke! The article states:

"The inscription declares that the 60-foot-high monument is the tomb of Simon, a devout Jew who the Bible says cradled the infant Jesus and recognized him as the Messiah."

Of course, the article then does all it can to cast doubt on the amazing find, even though it is literally written in stone right before their eyes!  This negative spin is contrary to the findings of the archeologists who discovered the inscription, and also found another inscription on the same tomb naming the father of John the Baptist. The archeological experts clearly believe these inscriptions to be authentic, reported in the quote below:

[Joseph] Zias, a member of the Science and Archaeology Group, a team of scholars affiliated with the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, found the Zachariah inscription by chance — in a photograph of the facade taken just before sundown. Had the photograph been taken at any other time of day, he might not have seen the worn inscription. Using a squeeze, Puech deciphered the words: “This is the tomb of Zachariah, martyr, very pious priest, father of John.” [James] Strange said he had little doubt the inscriptions were genuine. If fake, “then it was forged by someone who failed because nobody noticed (the inscriptions),” he said.

In these inscriptions we have archaeological evidence of three actual persons included in the Gospel accounts, Simeon, Zachariah, and John. Other discoveries in recent times were the tomb of Caiaphas in Jerusalem, an inscription naming Pontius Pilate in Caesarea, and even the baptismal site, called a mikvah, of the first Messianic believers in Jerusalem led by James the brother of the Lord! Other discoveries could also be cited because there is a growing mountain of proof that the Gospels give a true account of real events naming real people and places.

Ask Him to reveal Himself to you.There is just too much evidence that the Gospel accounts are real to just blow them off as fictional fluff. Yet, when it comes to believing in the resurrection of Messiah, something more is needed. This is shown by what happened on the road to Emmaus (which road has also been found, by the way) where the risen Lord walked with two of His disciples, family members really, and revealed Himself to them, and suddenly their eyes were opened to the truth and they recognized their Risen Relative! The profound reality of the resurrection must come as revelation knowledge to have its full impact. Once that happens, a person's life is forever changed. It was true back then, and it is still true today.      

Join us tonight for our live video stream at tsiyon.net, at 8 pm cst. We will be focusing on the resurrection account in the book of Luke. It is profound in its life-changing simplicity, and power. Don't miss it!

Shalom,

Eliyahu

Is a Global Government Really Possible by 2030?  Read this!

Editor's Note: No doubt you have noticed the recent political backlash against globalism in favor of nationalism. The "America First" agenda of Donald Trump, the "Brexit" vote in the UK, and recent elections in numerous countries favoring nationalist politicians all give some people the impression that globalism has been defeated. This is simply not so, based on the demographics.

The fact is, middle-aged and up voters are largely responsible for defending traditional values and nationalist politics, including the backlash against globalist policies. In other words, it is the baby boomer generation that is now holding back the globalist tide. Baby boomers are defined as people born between 1946 and 1964 in the post-World War II era. About 77 million Americans were born in this time period, making it significantly larger than the generations born immediately before and after, and the demographics are similar in other developed countries.

The generation is running out!According to the AARP, 10,000 baby boomers are turning 65 every single day in the USA alone, and this is expected to continue into the 2030s. A major public policy concern for the upcoming millennial generation is termed "The “2030” Problem" - when health and other needs of the aging baby boomer population are forecast to become potentially unsustainable. Well before then aging baby boomers will already be viewed as a burden on society rather than shapers of public opinion. By then the millennial generation, which is now already the largest generation, will be firmly in control of public policy, and their globalist views will have carried the day.

Are a majority of millennials really that supportive of globalist policies? You bet they are! The reprinted article is not our opinion - it presents the opinion of a majority of Millennials today.

Millennials Stand for Globalism and Want to Shape the Future

Reprint: Businesswire - Nov. 15, 2017 [Edited for length]

Who owns the world?New research commissioned by Western Union shows that millennials across 15 countries are united by a belief in globalization, want the freedom to experience the opportunities it brings, and have a desire to play a role in shaping the future using technology. The survey of more than 10,000 millennials reveals that this group is confident that globalization will make the world a better place for themselves and others and are committed to leading the change.

The world—politically, economically, socially, and technologically—is in flux. But what does this all mean for our future? The Western Union Company (NYSE: WU) has commissioned a first-of-its-kind global study about millennials’ beliefs, hopes, and aspirations for the future and the world that they wish to shape for themselves and others.

The 2017 Western Union Global Study—"Globalization: A World View of the Future—surveyed native, first-generation, and foreign-born people between the ages of 20-36 in Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Egypt, Germany, India, Indonesia, Mexico, Russia, South Africa, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, United States, and Vietnam through online interviews. Most countries surveyed represent significant millennial populations.

The survey shows that in sharp contrast to current geopolitics, this diverse group of tomorrow’s future shapers is united by a belief in a world of collaboration, unrestricted by geographical borders.

Western Union President and Chief Executive Officer Hikmet Ersek said,

"The world is changing and there is a new economic power shift driven by a new generation of global citizens. They are shaping the future, and inspiring others to do the same. They are redefining globalization to one of ‘personal globalization’ where the pursuit of limitless cross-border movement, cross-border digital communication, and creative lifestyle drives new economic power. These inspiring future shapers are the leaders of tomorrow and are looking at how they want the world to be, not only for themselves, but for all. This generation is made up all kinds of future leaders—entrepreneurial, corporate, political, and social influencers. It is vitally important to understand what they think and what they want the world to look like.”

Western Union operates in 200 countries and territories worldwide, and commissioned the survey to gain additional insights into the younger customers it serves through its digital channels.

The following key findings are highlighted as important to millennials.

Global Citizenship: The Way of the Future

Global citizenship is pivotal for creating the world millennials want for the future, as they believe the concept of belonging to one individual country is outdated. Millennials view connection and collaboration as the most critical steps forward to achieving global citizenship.

Freedom to Be Global Safeguards the Future

The idea of limitless movement empowers millennials, as they believe it will allow them to control their destiny. The majority of millennials believe that creating a more open world will unlock opportunities for better job prospects and result in economic freedom, including the ease of money movement.

Governing the Future

Today, borders going up across the world—and politicians and governments reasserting the concept of the nation state—are leading many millennials to believe that these institutions are not representing their respective views. However, a significant number of millennials are adamant that collaboration is essential and believe that shaping the future is up to them, rather than institutions.

Unity and Inclusiveness

There are mixed sentiments regarding whether the world is at peace, given concerns that increased racism and nativism may pose a threat to global citizenship and an open world. Millennials believe the most important trait to eradicate social discrimination is ensuring that there is respect for diversity.

The 2017 Western Union Global Study "Globalization: A World View of the Future” Key Findings:

Global Citizenship: The Way of the Future

Global citizenship is pivotal for creating the world millennials want for the future, as they believe the concept of belonging to one individual country is outdated. Millennials view connection and collaboration as the most critical steps forward to achieving global citizenship.

  • The majority see themselves as global citizens rather than a citizen of any one country. This view is shared regardless of if they are native, first generation, or foreign born.

  • Approximately 90 percent agree that a better global future can be achieved through collaboration. They believe countries need to collaborate, rather than compete with one another, leading to a better global future.

  • More than 8 in 10 state that the rise of social media has played a significant role in uniting the world.

  • Nearly two thirds believe that the free flow of technology and information across borders will become easier, but anticipate the flow of political ideas and people to become more difficult or remain stagnant.

  • The majority view connection as a critical step forward to achieve global citizenship. Staying connected to global news via social media, connecting with people from different cultures, travelling to new places, and interacting with people that are different from themselves is their way of creating a world they want for the future.

Freedom to Be Global Safeguards the Future

The idea of limitless movement empowers millennials, as they believe it will allow them to control their destiny. The majority of millennials believe that creating a more open world will unlock opportunities for better job prospects and result in economic freedom, including the ease of money movement.

  • The desire for global citizenship is also about young people safeguarding their future. Almost eight in ten agree the thought of a future with limitless movement around the world empowers them.

  • More than two thirds agree they are better off financially due to their ability to live and work in other countries.

  • More than eight in ten agree that their ability to live and work in other countries will unlock opportunities for a better job and education, and is a key component to their economic and personal freedom.

  • There is also the hope that people and business will work together, and that the exchange of commerce and money will become easier by 2030. More than half believe that sending money to a person in another country is set to get easier by 2030, ..arguing that a single global currency would foster great global unity.

  • Eventually, they believe that the world will take on a more globalized outlook, with 79 percent believing that the future will fit with the aspirations of global citizens.

Governing the Future

Today, borders going up across the world—and politicians and governments reasserting the concept of the nation state—are leading many millennials to believe that these institutions are not representing their respective views. However, a significant number of millennials are adamant that collaboration is essential and believe that shaping the future is up to them, rather than institutions.

  • More than eight in ten want to participate or have their say on future matters of global and national significance. They believe technology can enable individuals to make their voices heard more easily.

  • Seven out of ten believe future governments will be hybrids of democratic institutions and individuals—representing the power of people.

  • More than two thirds believe that shaping the future is up to them as individuals, rather than governments.

  • Many believe the creation of a globalized world requires shared responsibility of all. This includes global and national stakeholders, such as international organizations, governments, the private sector, local communities, and individuals, all taking responsibility.

  • Many expressed concerns that governments today are not fulfilling their hopes or representing their generation’s views. Two thirds believe that global institutions like the United Nations are more representative of them, rather than national or local governments.

Unity and Inclusiveness

There are mixed sentiments regarding whether the world is at peace, given concerns that increased racism and nativism may pose a threat to global citizenship and an open world. Millennials believe the most important trait to eradicate social discrimination is ensuring that there is respect for diversity.

  • Those surveyed identify racism and a fear of immigrants as the biggest threats to global citizenship and an open world, followed by nationalist politics, religious differences, and outdated immigration policies.

  • The most important traits for achieving global citizenship and eradicating social discrimination is ensuring that there is respect for diversity and the ability to embrace other countries. Those surveyed identify respect for diversity, the ability to embrace other cultures, and adaptability as the most important traits of a global citizen.

  • These future shapers believe that tackling issues of racism, xenophobia, religious intolerance, gender inequality, and freedom to be anywhere in the world are important to creating an ideal future world. A future free of racism; barriers based on gender, religion, culture, or nationality; and the ability to live, work, and play anywhere in the world were cited as the three most important factors for success.

The study consisted of a 15-country survey of 11,060 millennials (ages 20 to 36) with a +1.0% margin of error globally. The research was conducted by Research Now via online interviews from September 26 to October 6, 2017.
