“Kingdom Curses” is admittedly a strange theme, since the Kingdom is meant to bless all mankind. Nevertheless, in Biblical Hebraic teaching blessings for some nearly always involve curses for others. Accordingly, in Matthew 23 we find Messiah cursing the chief priests and scribes for their crimes against the Kingdom. He says; “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because you shut up the Kingdom of Heaven against men; for you don’t enter in yourselves, neither do you allow those who are entering in to enter.” In a scathing rebuke He calls the Jerusalem leaders such things as hypocrites, blind guides, blind fools, serpents, offspring of vipers and murderers of the prophets and the righteous. More than that, He pronounces curses of woe, destruction and the lake of fire upon them! Many find such words shocking coming from the mouth of our gentle Messiah. Finally, you will understand these words in their true context in this teaching. (Matthew 23:14)

[60 mins in mp3] No doubt you are closely following the news regarding the country of Israel during these troubled times. We especially feel for Messianic believers in Israel who are facing danger and hardship because of the ongoing war with the terrorists. For that reason we are taking an interlude from our regular series to present this Tsiyon Radio Special entitled: “Bless Israel and Be Blessed.” In this program we offer comfort and encouragement to our Israeli brethren, we showcase some great Messianic music, and we discuss what the Scriptures say about Israel as relevant to the controversy of our day. We will also have some great suggestions on what we all can do to help our Israeli brothers and sisters at this time.
