Why some Christians are evicted from Israel

[RyaninZion]

Further to the news this week that Ron and Carol Cantrell are being evicted from Israel after 20 years of service in the Land, I just want to give my thoughts on why this happened and why it does not surprise me.

To me, the Cantrells are a perfect example of those spoken of in Isaiah 14:1:

The Lord will have compassion on Jacob; once again he will choose Israel and will settle them in their own land. Aliens will join them and unite with the house of Jacob.

The Cantrells bound themselves to Israel as Ruth did. They are among the foreign allies God promised He Himself would provide Israel with.

And that is why the enemy wants them gone. It is no coincidence that a whole range of New Age groups are allowed to brainwash Israeli children with messages contrary to the Bible, while people like the Cantrells are booted for alleged missionary activity. Satan wants Israel to be brainwashed with these humanist messages, while sidelining the very people God has put in place to prevent such a disaster by their witness to faithfulness of the Lord God of Israel.

Pray that God will uphold the Cantrells as He prepares them for whatever mission He has for them next, and pray that the Lord will put His shield around those of us Gentiles He has planted in this Land.

They were told to leave because it is against Israeli law to evangelize about Christ in Israel.

HUH?! Is this true?

All the historic monuments and tours alone evangelize the truth about Christ. That's a contradiction at the very least. It's like they're saying, "If it brings revenue into the country it's okay."

Is it lawful to evangelize Judaism? Islam?

They were told to leave because it is against Israeli law to evangelize about Christ in Israel. Keep sending your donations.

It might be Israeli law legislated by a bunch of crazy power hungry politicians, but sure ain't God's law according to the Great Commission commanded to us to present to all nations, by the mouth of our Lord Jesus Christ. Olmert and co are a bunch of back stabbers, and so is the American govt administration, who are encouraging them.

It is not against the law to evangelize. It is against the law to bride a child to change their religion. Bribery of every sort is forbidden. I just spent two hours explaining Christian theology to a Jewish man. That is entirely legal.
