Call to pray for Jews mirrors God's heart, prayer leader says

By Mark Kelly

RICHMOND, Va. (BP)--On Rosh Hashanah, when observant Jews around
the world begin 10 days of seeking God, Southern Baptists will be
praying they find his Son.

A new prayer booklet published by the International Mission Board will
guide Southern Baptists as they intercede with God on behalf of his
chosen people.

The Jewish New Year, Rosh Hashanah, opens the Days of Awe, when
Jewish tradition teaches that God opens his Book of Life to
inscribe the names of the righteous and remove the names of the
wicked. The book remains open for 10 days, during which Jewish
people recall the sins of the previous year and pray to God for
forgiveness.

The observance, also known as the Days of Repentance, ends with
Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement. Rosh Hashanah will be observed
on Sept. 11 this year; Yom Kippur falls on Sept. 20.

Because God loves the Jews as his chosen people, Christians ought to
mirror that love at the very time Jews worldwide are seeking God, said
Randy Sprinkle, director of the Southern Baptist International Mission
Board's prayer strategy office.

"God calls on his children to reflect his deep heart love for his
chosen people, the Jews," Sprinkle said. "Evangelical Christians are
responding by harmonizing their hearts with his so his love can be
reflected toward Jewish people."

Rather than being an act of hostility or intolerance, as some
critics claim, praying for the Jewish people is motivated by
love, Sprinkle added.

"Intercessory prayer is an act of love," he said. "Christian
intercessors are people of love. They love the Jewish people,
even scattered across the earth as they are, because God first
loved the Jewish people.

"Christians today are harshly persecuted in many countries of the
world," Sprinkle said. "Our response is not one of bitterness and
hatred but a deep burden for the people of that country that leads us
to pray for them, because that reflects God's love for them.

"What we're doing is not going to change the general Jewish
perception of Christians, but the fact is that Christians will
continue out of love to go before God on behalf of his chosen
people, because that's his heart."

A resolution adopted by messengers to the 1996 Southern Baptist
Convention annual meeting in New Orleans called on Southern
Baptists to pray for the salvation of Jewish people and to direct
energies and resources toward proclaiming to Jewish people the good
news of salvation in Jesus, the Messiah.

That resolution drew national attention and was denounced as
intolerant by critics, some of whom said efforts to evangelize
Jews amounted to "spiritual genocide." A Southern Baptist leader
at the time responded that the intent was not to convert Jews
into Gentiles, but "to convert them from being Jews who do not
have a relationship with the God of their fathers to Jews who
do."

Christians, however, have little choice when it comes to sharing
their faith with Jews, said Don Kammerdiener, executive vice
president of the International Mission Board.

"Many Jewish leaders reject such efforts as being wrongheaded,
arrogant or even contributing to the spiritual and cultural
equivalent of the holocaust," Kammerdiener said. "But the Bible
is clear regarding the necessity of sharing the gospel with Jews.

"Jesus and the apostles were Jews. Jesus stated clearly that his
followers were to begin their witness to him in Jerusalem, the
heartland of the Jews. Jesus is the Messiah promised to the Jews, the
Savior of all who believe in him. He is the fulfillment of the Old
Covenant promises.

"The Bible is explicit in saying, in Romans 1:16, that Jews are
not only included in the gospel invitation, but that the gospel
is to go to the Jew first and also to the Gentile," Kammerdiener
added. "Obedient Christians have no choice except to invite Jews
and all other peoples to come to faith in Christ."

An estimated 132,000 Jews worldwide follow Jesus -- who they call by
his Hebrew name, Yeshua -- as the Messiah, according to 1998
statistics from David Bogosian of the U.S. Center for World Mission in
Pasadena, Calif. He puts the number of Messianic Jews in Israel at
5,000, with 110,000 in the United States.

Perhaps 75 percent of the world's 15 million Jews no longer
practice Rabbinic Judaism, and most are secularists or atheists,
Bogosian says.

The prayer guide contains 10 vignettes of Jewish life during the
Days of Awe, along with brief sketches of Jewish populations
around the world and suggestions about how to pray for Jewish
people as they seek God.

The International Mission Board has published a similar guide to
help Christians pray for Muslims during the annual holy days of
Ramadan, Sprinkle noted. Guides also will be published for prayer
efforts focusing on Hindus and Buddhists.

With about 4,800 missionaries working among 336 ethnic people
groups and in 127 countries, the International Mission Board's
work is supported by nearly 16 million Southern Baptists in more
than 40,000 congregations in the United States.

New Middle East Peace Deal is Reached

Ending years of deadlock and distrust, Israel and the Palestinians
concluded a new West Bank land-for-security agreement that also charts
the course toward a historic final peace accord by September 2000.

In the coming days, Israel will withdraw from 7 percent of the West
Bank and release 200 Palestinian security prisoners.

Also in early September, negotiators will launch long-overdue talks on
a final peace accord. The new deal says that a year later, on Sept.
10, 2000, the two sides must complete the accord, which will address
complex issues such as Palestinian statehood, the status of Jerusalem
-- which the Palestinians want as their capital -- the fate of
Palestinian refugees and the future of Jewish settlements in
Palestinian areas.

Beilin said he expected the troop pullback to take place in 10
days, after the Jewish New Year's holiday. Palestinian officials
initially said they expected the withdrawal to begin by midweek,
but said today they didn't mind a minor delay due to the Jewish
holiday.

Two more pullbacks will take place Nov. 15 and Jan. 20.

In all, Israel will transfer 11 percent of the West Bank, or 230
square miles, to the Palestinians between September and January.
Israel has pledged to carry out one more withdrawal ahead of a
final peace deal,
and talks on how much land will be handed over will begin Sept. 10 and
be concluded in four months.

Philadelphia Hosts Bible Code Premier
DNA Repair Frequency Intrigues Scientists and Religious Scholars Alike

Philadelphia, PA - The city of brotherly love, and gathering-place of
Judeo-Christian revolutionary authors, will appropriately host the
world premier of a new book that reveals 3,000 year old Bible codes
including the possible keys to repairing damaged DNA as well as
promoting world health and peace. The book's principle author, an
internationally recognized expert in public health and AIDS education,
Dr. Leonard G. Horowitz, and colleagues, will show and discuss
"Healing Codes for the Biological Apocalypse," for the first time at
the Preparedness Expo '99 on Saturday, June 12, at 11am, at the Ft.
Washington Expo Center. His presentation and revelations are certain
to spark new thinking and research, particularly in the religious and
scientific communities.

According to the text, Dr. Horowitz's co-investigator, Dr. Joseph
Barber, was intuitively guided to find six repeating codes in the Book
of Numbers, Chapter 7, verses 12 through 83. When deciphered using the
ancient Pythagorean method of reducing the verse numbers to their
single digit integers, the numerical pattern revealed six
electromagnetic sound frequencies that correspond to the six missing
tones of the ancient Solfeggio or musical scale. These original sound
frequencies, the evidence indicates, were used in the great hymn to
St. John the Baptist, along with other Gregorian chants, that church
authorities say were lost centuries ago. The chants and their special
tones were believed to impart tremendous spiritual blessings when sung
in harmony during religious masses.

Physicists and musicians alike recognize some of the six tones in this
extremely unique interrelated series of sound frequencies that include
harmonic sequences similar to those found in the "wedding march." The
first note "UT-quent laxis" has a frequency of 396 cycles per second
and is associated with a "magnetic field strength equal to
ten-to-the-fifth power gauss." The second tone, "RE"-short for
"resonare fibris" or resonance-correlates mathematically to 144,000,
the number of people predicted in the Book of Revelation to be
gathered by God to sing a special song heralding the Messianic age and
world peace. The third note, frequency 528, relates to the note "MI"
on the scale and derives from the phrase "MI-ra gestorum" in Latin,
meaning "miracle." Stunningly, this is the exact frequency used by
genetic biochemists to repair damaged DNA-the genetic blueprint upon
which life is based. The authors speculate these, along with the other
three tones, may have played an important role in the miraculous
shattering of Jericho's great wall in six days before falling on the
seventh, and the creation of the universe in six days after which God
is believed to have rested on the seventh. Religious scholars believe
both events occurred as a result of sounds being spoken or played.

The scientific implications of these revelations are unimaginable. "I
gleefully laughed when Dr. Horowitz first described the biblical
frequencies," said Dr. Lee Lorenzen, a world renowned biochemist
working with water crystallization methods to rejuvenate DNA structure
and function. "The 528 frequency is well known to scientists working
on DNA repair," he continued. "I added that special frequency to the
clustered water we patented after studying about a dozen holy waters
and healing springs around the world."

Dr. Lorenzen, who holds two Honorary Doctorate degrees in medicine,
besides a Ph.D. in nutritional biochemistry, is credited for having
replicated and stabilized the special six-sided molecular structure of
water that we are all born with that forms the inner core of healthy
DNA. Dr. Lorenzen, who will be presenting his research following Dr.
Horowitz's presentation at the expo center on Saturday, feels that the
clustered water, which was once abundantly found on earth, as well as
the six electromagnetic frequencies discussed by Drs. Horowitz and
Barber, may be vitally important to science, particularly in regard to
preventing or reversing many diseases.

Dr. Horowitz, the author of twelve books including the national
best-seller Emerging Viruses: AIDS & Ebola (Tetrahedron Press, 1997),
feels he was spiritually guided to move to northern Idaho to meet and
work with Dr. Barber to complete this new book. "I had prayed for a
breakthrough on the level that Dr. Barber was blessed to find," Dr.
Horowitz said. "I simply became the communicator for Joey to reveal
God's secrets." Likewise, Dr. Barber explained, "I specifically prayed
to meet Dr. Horowitz after I viewed his lecture video. I needed
someone who could write and get this information out to the public.
About a month later, due to an extraordinary series of synchronistic
events, Dr. Horowitz showed up at my door."

People wishing to purchase the 517 page hardcover, "Healing Codes for
the Biological Apocalypse" ($26.95), will not likely find it in
bookstores until late summer. The first three thousand copies have
been reserved for physicists, other scientists, and musicians-people
who can make the greatest contributions by studying and using the
tones in their work. Limited copies may be special ordered only
through bookstores supplied by wholesalers Ingram or Baker & Taylor,
through Amazon.com, or direct from the publisher, Tetrahedron Press,
206 N. 4th Avenue, Ste. 147, Sandpoint, Idaho 83864; 1-888-508-4787;
