This painting by Munganbana Norman Miller was the backdrop to the Sydney event. It is still in Sydney waiting for a home for someone who will cherish it. Do you have or know of a home or office where it could find a home? Please let us know if you do. It is 2m x 1.8m.

This is the story that goes with it:
We Stand Up For Israel: Indigenous Friends of Israel by Munganbana Norman Miller

The star of David is the centre of this painting just as Jerusalem is the centre of the world (Ezekiel 5:5). The star of David is also on Israel’s flag. It is surrounded by yellow ochre representing G-d’s glory and His calling for the Jewish people to be a light to the nations. The Magen David is encircled by blue and white dots representing Israel.

The dots that continue to circle it reflect the yellow and red ochres of the earth and of the sun. They also represent sunrises and sunsets. This speaks of the heavens touching the earth. The purple dots represent royalty as Jerusalem will be Messiah’s throne. The stars in the sky represent the stars of the southern cross over Australia and in its flag.

The dots also represent the Indigenous Friends of Israel as the Indigenous people of the earth surround, protect, and support her.

The dove of peace, also representing the spirit of G-d, alights over the star of David. As Psalm 85:10-11 (NLT) says: Unfailing love and truth have met together; righteousness and peace have kissed. Truth springs up from the earth, and righteousness smiles down from heaven.

May Australia shine like the stars in heaven to reflect God’s glory and His love for Israel (Daniel 12:3)

Never Again is Now. We stand against antisemitism. And never again will Israel be uprooted from the land G-d has given them. (Amos 9:11-15)

HAPPY RESURRECTION SUNDAY!
THE LORD REIGNS!
LET THE PEOPLE REJOICE!

Purim Reversal to Hamas and the Amalek Spirit by Ps Barbara Miller 23.3.24

Israel today is fighting a war for its survival just like Jewish people were threatened with annihilation during the time of Esther which we now commemorate at the Feast of Purim. Three times in history the Jewish people have been threatened with or experienced annihilation or genocide with forces starting with H (1) Haman (2) Hitler and (3) Hamas which means violence.

The Amalek spirit is behind it. Today we hear “From the River to the Sea, Palestine will be free” which does not refer to Gaza but refers to the whole of Israel, the land God promised to the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob or Israel. It goes back to the ancient hatred and sibling rivalry of Esau towards his twin Jacob.

God pronounced judgement on the Amalekites because they attacked the weakest of the Hebrews as they crossed over from Egypt to the Promised Land. They attacked from behind the sick, elderly etc. (sounds like Oct 7)

The story of the bible book of Esther is how Haman tricked the king into signing a decree to kill all the Jews in the kingdom of Persia which was most of the known world at that time.

But God was about to do a divine reversal of Haman’s plans. It is said that if King Saul had killed King Agag when instructed to, the Amalekites would not have produced Haman with his genocidal plan against the Jews. Though Samuel killed him one day later, he was able to have a descendant.

Mordecai, a Jew, and his niece Esther were raised up by God in His plan of saving the Jews from extermination. Amazingly, Mordecai was a descendant of Kish, the Benjamite who was the father of King Saul. Prophetic justice was served.

This gives us another interesting parallel. Every year, the chapter, “Remember what Amalek did unto thee” (Deut. 25:17-19), is read in the synagogue on the Sabbath preceding Purim, and the story of Saul and Agag in 1 Samuel 15 is read as the Haftarah or reading from the prophets.

I see parallels with Netanyahu being urged not to fight in Rafah to finish off Hamas because of the great loss of civilian life & the humanitarian crisis. While Hamas must bear responsibility for using civilians as human shields, using hospitals and schools, and stealing food and aid money and the numbers are inflated, Israel is losing the support of its main ally the US.

Saul did not want to destroy the King of the Amalekites and somehow his progeny lived on to almost be successful in totally wiping out the Jews worldwide in the time of Esther. Netanyahu is saying that Israel cannot live in security because,unless they defeat Hamas, Hamas has promised many more Oct 7’s.

I believe God is declaring a divine reversal in this time of favour for His people. We know that the hatred of Jews is because they were chosen by God to bring his plan of redemption to mankind who are rebellious to God and are jealous of His chosen people.

Listen to the video to get more. Have you been called into your situation for such a time as this like Esther? Do you need to write a decree to reverse an evil decree? (Esther 8:8). Remember that prayer and fasting brought a breakthrough.

The 50:20 Window for the Harvest and Obeying God’s Will by Ps Norman Miller 30.3.24

Genesis 50:20 You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives. We are in a time of harvest. Fulfill the Great Commission
We need 3 things:
1. Adjustment to God’s will

Messiah in Micah and Messianic Prophecy by Ps Barbara Miller 16.3.24

Micah 6:8, the “Micah Mandate,” gives a balanced answer to today’s spiritual and political questions. “What does the Lord require of you? To act justly, and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.”
