“They were indignant because Peter and John were teaching the people and announcing in Yeshua the resurrection of the dead.” (Acts 4:2)

The gospel is the best news there is! The Messiah is risen from the dead, and the way to God has been opened to all who will receive His forgiveness! Yet this good news has always been deeply controversial, perhaps especially among the Messiah’s own people. As much as the sacrifice and resurrection of Jesus might cause divisions and trouble, God’s love compels us to keep sharing these truths. And we’ve been so blessed to see many people responding. We’ve even received a special award from YouTube for reaching a milestone on our Hebrew language channel! It shows how much hunger and spiritual interest there is among Israelis at the moment. God is powerfully at work among us.
We are praising God about this new milestone we’ve reached here in Israel. We just received our award from YouTube for reaching 100,000 subscribers to our Hebrew language channel, igod. What is amazing is that even since that time, numbers have shot up and we almost have another 50% on top of that already! 141,000 Israelis, Hebrew speakers, are getting every single one of our evangelistic videos as soon as they are out! But that’s not all…
GOOD NEWS IN ENGLISH
Our media team produces fantastic videos on a regular basis which are enjoyed all over the world. Our English language ONE FOR ISRAEL YouTube channel has 625 videos, with hundreds, if not thousands, of comments on each one. We passed the milestone of 100,000 subscribers long ago, and now we have almost ten times that amount—we’re approaching a million subscribers on that channel now (963,000 subscribers to date). Our English videos have been watched an astonishing 216,606,289 times—that’s well over 200 million views! But it’s not surprising that there are many more following us in English, it’s the most commonly spoken language in the world, making it a strategic and important language in order to reach people.
A MILESTONE IN ISRAEL: ALMOST 150K SUBSCRIBERS IN HEBREW!
A far less common language, on the other hand, is Hebrew. While one in five people in the world speak English, only 0.6% speak Hebrew. There are some 9 million Hebrew speakers globally, and of course most of them live in Israel. It’s a tiny fraction of the world’s population. And this is why we’re so excited to have hit—and passed—the milestone of 100,000 subscribers to our Hebrew language YouTube channel. It’s a significant development in Israel. It’s astonishing to us, and we give glory to God. Most of them are not believers (yet) but they are willing to watch all the videos we make about Jesus, and to publicly subscribe to the channel. In addition, there are many more who watch anonymously, without making the publicly visible commitment of subscribing. Some 250,000 watch and are engaged with our videos regularly, but a huge 60-80% of that number (depending on the video) are not subscribers. That is a huge number of Israelis watching videos about Jesus, isn’t it?! 250,000, a quarter of a million!
A quarter of a million Israelis are watching our evangelistic videos on a regular basis!
Brethren…… TRUE PEACE only comes from YESHUA and knowing Him as Messiah & Savior. When you pray for the peace of Jerusalem, remember that you are praying for the Jewish people to come to know our Jesus as YESHUA HAMASHIACH!
HOW CAN I BE SAVED?
SHALOM B’YESHUA!
Love to hear how a Jewish person comes to know Jesus. So many people do not realize that the first Christians were Jewish. Salvation comes to us from the Jews , so how precious when a Jew finds the completion of their faith in Yeshua.
Amen!
What wonderful news! Thank you for sharing this, Geri. It is very encouraging.
Yes, it certainly is encouraging! We must keep praying for Israel…
This is a humongous fraud … Jesus of Nazareth (a Jew of the times of 2nd Temple Judaism) could not have been the Jewish Messiah (means the King of Israel) because he was NOT anointed with the special holy anointing oil of Moses day (see Exodus 30:22-33). That Holy Oil was made by Moses for the Tabernacle and all it’s furnishings and later ALL Kings of Israel were also anointed with it (the meaning of the term Messiah is “anointed”.
Yaffah, I can tell that you are from Israel by your IP address. JESUS (YESHUA) IS THE MESSIAH OF THE WHOLE WORLD – JEWS AND GENTILES. JESUS IS GOD THE SON – YES HE IS DEITY! PLEASE READ ISAIAH 53!
