The document discusses God's work in shaking the nations and restoring Israel according to prophecy. It shares the testimony of Avi Lipkin who was inspired by letters from David Ben-Gurion to move to Israel to ensure he married a Jewish woman and had Jewish children, countering assimilation. It argues God is bringing Jews back to Israel through increasing anti-Semitism and terrorism. The document urges understanding what God is doing today by shaking Western nations through revealing corruption and the truths of Islam to bring people to freedom in Christ.

LETTER TO THE
BROTHERS AND
SISTERS IN CHRIST
【TIME OF SHAKING THE NATIONS】
‘Listen to me, you who pursue righteousness and who seek
the LORD: look to the rock from which you were cut and to
the quarry from which you were hewn;
2
look to Abraham, your father, and to Sarah, who gave you
birth. When I called him he was only one man, and I
blessed him and made him many.
3
The LORD will surely comfort Zion and will look with
compassion on all her ruins; he will make her deserts like
Eden, her wastelands like the garden of the LORD.
Joy and gladness will be found in her, thanksgiving and
the sound of singing.
4
‘Listen to me, my people; hear me, my nation: instruction
will go out from me; my justice will become a light to the
nations.
5
My righteousness draws near speedily, my salvation is on
the way, and my arm will bring justice to the nations. The
islands will look to me and wait in hope for my arm.
6
Lift up your eyes to the heavens, look at the earth
beneath; the heavens will vanish like smoke, the earth will
wear out like a garment and its inhabitants die like flies.
But my salvation will last for ever, my righteousness will
never fail.
7
‘Hear me, you who know what is right, you people who
have taken my instruction to heart: do not fear the
reproach of mere mortals or be terrified by their insults.
8
For the moth will eat them up like a garment; the worm
will devour them like wool. But my righteousness will last
for ever, my salvation through all generations.’
9
Awake, awake, arm of the LORD, clothe yourself with
strength! Awake, as in days gone by, as in generations of
old. Was it not you who cut Rahab to pieces, who pierced
that monster through?
10
Was it not you who dried up the sea, the waters of the
great deep, who made a road in the depths of the sea so that
the redeemed might cross over?
11
Those the LORD has rescued will return. They will enter
Zion with singing; everlasting joy will crown their heads.

News Bulletin
We believe in one GOD, in three
persons; FATHER, SON and
HOLY SPIRIT. We regard the
Bible (both Hebrew Bible and
New Testament) as the only
infallible authoritative
WORD OF GOD.
HULDAH MINISTRY aims to return
to the Word Of God, founded on
Hebrew background and to interpret
it from Hebraic perspective,
acknowledging that Jesus is a Jew
and the Jewish-ness of His teaching
as a continuation from the Hebrew
Bible. The Ministry also aims to put
His teaching into practice, to have a
closer relationship with the Lord,
Jesus Christ, and to regularly have
a Christian fellowship so that this-
worldly kingdom of God will
materialise in the midst of the
followers of Jesus here and now, as
well as earnestly seeking Christ's
Return to establish the otherworldly
Kingdom of God on earth.
All activities are free of charge and no obligation
whatever. Just enjoy our fellowship!

Gladness and joy will overtake them, and sorrow and sighing will flee away. ISAIAH 51: 1- 12.
9 Burst into songs of joy together, you ruins of Jerusalem, for the LORD has comforted his
people, he has redeemed Jerusalem.
10 The LORD will lay bare his holy arm in the sight of all the nations, and all the ends of the
earth will see the salvation of our God.
11 Depart, depart, go out from there! Touch no unclean thing! Come out from it and be pure,
you who carry the articles of the LORD’s house.
12 But you will not leave in haste or go in flight; for the LORD will go before you, the God of
Israel will be your rear guard. ISAIAH 52: 9- 11.
In last month’s letter we surveyed an exciting outlook on Iran’s spiritual awakening. It is
important for us to focus upon what is happening today in the Middle East and Europe in order
to understand what God is doing and what His messages are to us. The following article,
entitled “Ben-Gurion’s Prophetic Letters” by a Jewish writer, Avi Lipkin is a testimony of the
one who has been led to be used by God because of his heart’s desire to seek after Him from a
young age. He argues two Holocausts; the first by Nazi Germany and the Second Holocaust of
assimilation, caused by intermarriage, pointing out the fact that most Diaspora Jews live very
comfortably in America, Britain, Australia and elsewhere, and that the result is the gradual
disappearance of the Jews in the Diaspora. However he prophetically believes that a day will
come of a mass Jewish immigration to Israel, expressing ‘Islamic terrorism could be the giant
spatula of God to scrape up the Jews and bring them home to Zion’.
In 1964, as a 15-year-old Jewish American living in New York, I had the honor of receiving two personal
letters from Israel’s first Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion. His handwritten notes were in response to two
letters I wrote him in Hebrew to inquire about his controversial statement that all Jews must move to Israel
and there was no future for the Jewish Diaspora.
After 50 years, my sister found these letters in my father’s house, letters which I thought had been lost.
Because of these two letters the seed was planted in my heart and soul to leave America, leave my parents
and family and make Aliyah to Israel, which I did at age 19 in 1968.
In his first letter, Ben-Gurion explained: It is possible for a Jew who lives abroad to be an honest, decent
and scholarly person just as it is possible that a Jew who lives in Israel can be a bad, unrighteous and
ignorant person. However, if a Jew really wants to be a complete Jew, it is only possible in the Land of
Israel… A Jew who wants to be Jewish in everything must come here.
In his second letter, the late prime minister told me: I’m neither a prophet nor a fortuneteller, but I fear
Jews in the Diaspora will assimilate as time goes by if they don’t have relatives in Israel. I fear Israel will
cease to exist if the number of Jews does not double or triple.
The letters speak for themselves. The American Jewish population numbered about 6 million at the end
of World War II. Today in 2015, the Jewish population in the U.S. is between 5.5 and 6 million despite the
mass immigration of Jews from the former Soviet Union, Israel, Argentina and Brazil, among others.
Between this immigration and natural reproduction, the Jewish population of America today should have
been about 15 million, but instead is stagnant or shrinking. How do we explain this?
The Jewish People in the Diaspora have experienced, I believe, two Holocausts: the first by Nazi
Germany and the Second Holocaust of assimilation. Intermarriage rates are between 70 and 80 percent in
many parts of the U.S. In addition, career-oriented Jews do not have many children. This leads to the
dissipation of the minority amongst the majority.
My parents were heartbroken when I “abandoned” them to be a Zionist and move to Israel. I did it to
ensure I would one day marry a Jewish woman who would bare me Jewish children. But most Diaspora
Jews are very comfortable staying put in America, Britain, Australia and elsewhere. The result is the gradual
disappearance of the Jews in the Diaspora.
However, with increasing Islamic emigration from the Middle East to North America and Europe, and
their penchant to “kill the Jews on Saturday and the Christians on Sunday.” I believe the Diaspora Jews may
not feel so comfortable anymore and an increasing number will make Aliyah to Israel. The deadly terrorist
3. 3
attack on a kosher supermarket in Paris in January 2015 is a case in point.
Ben-Gurion said in his second letter to me Israel could not survive unless it doubled and tripled its
population. He was a prophet. In 1964, Israel’s population stood at 3 million Jews; today it is 6.3 million and
counting.
Soon we may see mass Jewish immigration to Israel. Islamic terrorism could be the giant spatula of
God to scrape up the Jews and bring them home to Zion.
〔from the January 04 2016 eNews issue, Avi Lipkin, alias Victor Mordecai, has spoken to many
churches, synagogues and civic groups (including radio and TV appearances). He is the author
of several books including, “Islamic Rivalry” and “Is Fanatic Islam a Global Threat?” He offers
compelling proof the fanaticism of Islam is the No. 1 threat to world peace today
http://www.khouse.org/enews_article/2015/2467/〕
Avi Lipkin’s testimony reveals the fact that God is surely always near those who seek after
His guidance with sincere zeal for Him as shown in the Scripture quoted from Isaiah 51 and 52
in the beginning of this letter. It also clearly tells us that God will completely restore His
chosen people Israel in the end. There would be a time of tribulation before the messianic age
when ultimately the knowledge of the Lord will spread and the good tidings of peace and
salvation will prevail worldwide. Then the ruins of Jerusalem will be called upon to rejoice,
both because of the restoration of the Jews, and the conversion of the Gentiles.
The following article entitled “What is God Doing Today?” speaks of how important it is
for us to understand what God is doing today. It is very important to get the right knowledge
of what we should pray for and what we should do in our current confused world. A proper
acknowledgment of the truth that ‘nothing happens in the world that is not either the direct
will of God or his allowable will’ is very important. Otherwise our prayer will be misdirected
towards our own heart desires, rather than be focused on the Lord’s will. What is happening
today are the very things the biblical prophets warned of, and the following article reminds us
of the major reason why God is now shaking the nations, in which Western Christian
civilisation who once humbly accepted the Lord as their Saviour is beginning to crumble.
Whilst the media puts us all on information overload, the church largely stays silent. How can
Christians understand the nature and purposes of God - and make them known?
There is no shortage of news today. In fact, most people are on information overload! We are
bombarded with messages through the internet, from social media, from the TV news, from newspapers
and magazines and all the stuff that comes through the letterbox. The world news becomes more
depressing every day. The following are a few headlines from the first week of 2016:
Starving people in besieged towns near Damascus / Islamic State beheads more victims and threatens
Britain / 47 dissidents executed in Saudi Arabia / Iran and Saudi Arabia break diplomatic contact / North
Korea explodes a hydrogen bomb / Stock Market crash in China threatens economy / More migrants drown
in boats from Turkey to Greece / Arab and North African men assault women at New Year celebrations in
German cities.
But all these headlines are about what human beings are doing in the world. The great missing factor in
our news broadcasts is "What is God doing today?"
Silence from the Church
This question should be in the minds of every Christian and on the lips of every preacher in every
church in the land! Why is there such silence from church leaders? Do Christians no longer believe in the
sovereignty of God? The Bible teaches us that God is not simply the God of creation, who flung the stars
into orbit and created the universe – God is still active, sustaining his creation, and communicating with
human beings whom he made in his own image.
The media is highly active in bringing us information about what is happening in every part of the world.
But why is the church not similarly active in telling the world what God is doing today? The world does not
know that God is active in working out his purposes today because there is no word coming from major
church leaders and ordinary Christians are so silent. Why are we so timid about being witnesses to the
4. 4
truth? Do we not know that nothing happens in the world that is not either the direct will of God or
his allowable will?
The media is highly active bringing us information on what is happening around the world. Why
is the church not similarly active in declaring what God is doing?
The Nature and Purposes of God
The Bible is packed with information about the nature and purposes of God: how he revealed his truth
to the prophets of Israel, how he sent Jesus, our Lord and Saviour, to enable us to know him as our Father,
and how he both loves us and is a God of justice, requiring us to be his witnesses to the world.
But God never gives a task without also giving the ability to fulfil it. This is why the Holy Spirit was
given to believers to enable them to understand what God is doing and to empower them to speak to others
in his name.
God told the prophets that there would come a day when the nations would reach such a point of
rebellion against the truth that he would start to shake them like gravel in a sieve. This is reported by Isaiah
(2:12-21) and Haggai (2:6-7) and repeated in Hebrews (12:26f), where the purposes of God's shaking of the
nations is explained.
Those who understand the truth revealed in the Bible and who also study world history will know that a
new phase of history was entered in the early 20th century with the First World War, which signalled the
collapse of the great modern empires. This process was accelerated by the Second World War which
changed the map of the world and began great movements of population that are coming to a climax today,
with vast numbers moving from east to west and south to north. The inevitable clash of cultures is only just
beginning, which will intensify instability and violence in the nations.
The Holy Spirit was given to believers to empower them to understand what God is doing and to
speak to others in his name.
At the same time, the rise of militant secularism in Western nations is undermining truth, deceiving
people, blinding them to the significance of what is happening around them and destroying their ability to
resist the power of false religions and philosophies that threaten their security. Western civilisation is
beginning to crumble and this is a major reason why God is shaking the nations - to alert us to the danger of
what lies ahead.
The Searchlight of Truth
Just consider what God has done in recent years. He has been turning on the searchlight of truth to
reveal the corruption that is spreading like a cancer through the Western nations. In 2008 the light was
turned on greed and corruption in the banking industry. In Britain this was followed by similar revelations
among our politicians and revelations of sexual immorality among church leaders, followed by similar
revelations among celebrities who are the idols of modern society.
A major reason why God is shaking the nations is to alert us to the danger of what lies ahead.
Now the searchlight of truth is being turned upon Islam and this is partly why there is such turmoil in the
Middle East, where Islam began. God has even allowed the establishment of the Islamic State, whose
atrocities have shocked many Muslims who know very little about the history of Islam, the activities of
Muhammad, and the teaching of the Qu'ran – all of which are reflected in the practices of Islamic State
fighters, who claim to be the only true Muslims. Muslim scholars know the teaching and practices of
Muhammad, but it has been hidden from the world for centuries. It is now being revealed as the searchlight
of truth is turned on.
Truth Brings Freedom
At the same time, many Jews and Muslims across the Middle East - from North Africa to Iraq and Iran -
are having dreams and visions of Jesus, as God reveals his truth to them. This is preparing the way of the
Kingdom of God, which the writer to the Hebrews says is the purpose of the great shaking of the nations
(Heb 12:26f). So instead of being afraid of all the turmoil in the world today, we should actually be glad to
see God at work in his world, shaking all the man-made systems and false teachings that have deceived
and enslaved multitudes. It is the truth that sets us free!
