Ps Norman Miller singing October Rain by Eden Golan expressing the heart of Jewish people over Oct 7
You are invited to this amazing event to commemorate the passing by the UN of Resolution 181 in 1947 to partition the British Mandate into a Jewish and an Arab state. Why this is significant is that the UN was recognizing that there should be a Jewish state.
Norman and Barbara spoke at this event last year and will attend this year.
This is the 20th year of this event and this year it will be even more special with a reenactment of the the UN vote with many dignitaries attending. Venue tbc.

Shanah Tovah! We are entering Rosh HaShannah or Yom Teruah so Happy New Year and may your name be inscribe in the Lamb’s book of life and it is if you have given your heart to Jesus. Our hearts go out to Jewish people in Israel and worldwide who have been through such a difficult year but we know that God is in control and Israel is not only protected well by the IDF but also by God’s heavenly army of angels.
PROPHETIC SIGNIFICANCE See the video below for more on the prophetic significance of this feast. It begins the new year 5785. 5 stands for grace, 7 for completion and 8 for new beginnings so we have a time of double grace, completion of one season and the beginning of a new season.
ISRAEL AND MIDDLE EAST CONFLICT By Ps Barbara Miller
Australia and other nations keep criticizing Israel, calling for a ceasefire, putting pressure on Israel and not putting pressure on Iran, Hamas and Hezbollah to do so. This is similar to the appeasement we have seen Neville Chamberlain do re Hitler and we know the result was that Hitler was emboldened to murder 6 million Jews. We are very concerned that this puts Australia with the nations that are cursed rather than blessed (Genesis 12:1-3) and bringing judgement on us (Mat 25, sheep and goat nations).
Through history we have had Herod, Haman, Hitler, Hamas and Hezbollah – all starting with H and seeking to eliminate Israel. Hamas means violence in Hebrew and is in the Bible. We are entering the year 5785 on the Hebrew calendar and the word “hey” is a key word for this coming year. Interestingly, it is in the name of God – YHWH. Hey means behold or look, divine breath, (the Holy Spirit), revelation and light. No matter what the enemies of YHWH do, YHWH’s people will prevail in His strength.
I have spoken in the past that we are seeing the nations in Psalm 83 aligned against Israel in this present conflict and the nations that will come against Israel in the Ezekiel 38-39 war are already in place, aligned and working against Israel though this is not expected to reach fulfilment till half way through the tribulation. SEE PSALM 83 MESSAGE.
I sense that we have a situation now that is similar to the time of Purim when Esther and Mordecai exposed the plan by Haman for genocide of the whole of the Jewish people in the Persian empire which was worldwide. Today Persia is called Iran and we have the same spirit operating that Daniel spoke of – the demonic Prince of Persia who was fighting in the heavenlies to prevent the answer to Daniel’s prayer so the messenger angel was helped in the fight by the godly Prince of Israel, archangel Michael. (Daniel 10:12-14, 20-21)
When Haman tricked King Xerxes of Persia into writing a decree to kill all the Jews on a certain day, the King’s decree could not be reversed but the King told Esther to write another decree that reversed the effect of the first decree. This decree was that the Jews could rise up and defend themselves on that day appointed for them to be attacked. They not only defended themselves but got rid of a lot of their enemies and a fear of the Jews came on the land. I sense that this is what is happening now. Israel needs not only to defend itself from terrorists but continue long enough to prevent a repeat of the October 7 massacre. (Esther 9:1,5,16) I sense we are in a time of repeating when the Jews of the Persian empire (which was 127 provinces extending from India to Ethiopia) got rid of their enemies. They didn’t start it but they finished it. At least for a time as there are more attacks on Israel to come.
I also sense that this scripture is relevant 2 Ki 13:15-19 where Elisha told the King of Israel to strike the ground and he stopped after 3 times with Elisha saying he would only have victory 3 times and not completely destroy the army coming against them because he should have struck it 5 or 6 times. Israel today needs to finish its job of protecting its citizens, not stop half way. Hamas has vowed to do Oct 7 over and over again. Hezbollah was planning an Oct 7 attack in a few days which Israel has now likely thwarted. Make no mistake – Israel is only being attacked because it is part of God’s plan for the redemption of the whole of humanity and satan does not want that. So we need to step up our prayers and stand with Israel so Messiah can come back and reign from Jerusalem, his throne.
“Open the east window,” he said, and he opened it. “Shoot!” Elisha said, and he shot. “The LORD’s arrow of victory, the arrow of victory over Aram!” Elisha declared. “You will completely destroy the Arameans at Aphek.”
18Then he said, “Take the arrows,” and the king took them. Elisha told him, “Strike the ground.” He struck it three times and stopped.
19The man of God was angry with him and said, “You should have struck the ground five or six times; then you would have defeated Aram and completely destroyed it. But now you will defeat it only three times.”

This is an excerpt of the opening message of the Church and Cultural Challenges conference hosted by the Centre for International Reconciliation and Peace in Canberra on 9Av 2023 or 27 July. Today is 9Av 2024 12-13 August. We are looking at even more difficult times this year with a major attack on Israel by Iran and Hezbollah and possibly other Iranian proxies imminent. Amazingly the fateful day Israel forcefully pulled its settlements out of Gaza was 9Av 2005.

“Poster girl for Hamas, Senator Lidia Thorpe, should resign. Her latest radical chic is a green Hamas-style headband in Arabic drawing attention to her ill-conceived support of their cause,” says Indigenous Friends of Israel International co-founders Norman and Barbara Miller.
“Outrage over her selfie wearing the headband on X led to her removing it yesterday less than 24 hours after posting it. Many complained about her ‘dressing up’ as a terrorist and that it was offensive and divisive, so she apologized saying she was pushing for a ceasefire.
Strangely, the Arabic script on her headband read ‘I love chocolate milk’ with the caption on her post ‘I wholeheartedly support this message. I hope you do too.’
Thorpe is pushing a narrative that the Jewish people are colonizers and occupiers of Israel ignoring the fact that it is their ancient homeland, and they are Indigenous to Israel with a 4,000 year history there.
Many nations invaded and colonized the land of the Jews over thousands of years. Assyrians, Babylonians, Egyptians, Greeks, Byzantines, Arabs, Crusaders, Mamelukes, Ottomans, and Britain to name some of them but there was always a Jewish presence in the land.
When Israel reformed as a modern nation in 1948, it was decolonizing the land which had been a British mandate under the League of Nations which became the United Nations. Australia presided over the vote admitting Israel to the United Nations in 1949.
Hamas is not pushing for a Palestinian state that would include Gaza and the West Bank (Judea and Samaria). It wants the whole of Israel as its maps show and it wants the destruction and removal of the only Jewish state in the world. It also wants the removal of all Jews from the Jewish homeland. This is genocidal and is in the Hamas charter.
About 800,000 Jews were traumatically made refugees from Arab lands in the Middle East in 1948 losing their homes, businesses, jobs, nationalities etc. So, it was not just the Jews of Europe who survived the Holocaust who made Israel home.
Thorpe’s misguided attempt to align the Blak Sovereign Movement with the Palestinian cause is flawed. The Palestinian people are not Indigenous to Israel.
The Jews have never invaded any land in all of history. They simply returned home, joining those who had never left.
Senator Thorpe spoke on Monday at a ‘free Palestine’ rally in Melbourne asserting that the violence in Gaza was like the attempted genocide of Indigenous Australians by European settlers.
There is no comparison here. Yes, Australia was colonized by British settlers and yes there was loss of life despite instructions otherwise by the British crown. Israel instead is defending itself against an invasion and massacre by Hamas on October 7 and trying to ensure that Hamas cannot keep its promise to keep repeating October 7. Also, the captives taken by Hamas in a war crime need to be freed.
It seems dressing up to make a point has form with Lidia Thorpe who arrived in a pro-Palestine dress at the mid-winter parliamentary ball earlier this month with the genocidal phrase ‘from the river to the sea’ embroidered down the front.
A blood-stained look at the bottom of her dress completed the picture. It is time for Senator Thorpe to resign. This was not the platform she was voted in on, having resigned from the Greens last year, supposedly a representative on environmental issues.
’Not my senator,’ many Indigenous and other Australians are saying about Senator Lidia Thorpe.”
Please get involved! We need your help!
We would love to connect with you and help you support Israel, the only democracy in the Middle East, working against calls for its destruction and the genocide of its people. These calls are advancing at great pace since October 7. Indigenous Friends of Israel formed in July 2017 because of concerns over Australia’s policy towards Israel. Since then we have gone international as antisemitism is international and isan ancient hatred. The forces standing against Israel also oppose Western and/or Judeo-Christian values which have helped us achieve a society with social cohesion and the rule of law.
Please help us take a stand against antisemitism, and for a community where all are valued and safe. There are many opportunities to use your passion, gifting and skills as a volunteer whether you are a person of faith or not. United we stand and divided we fall. Please complete the form to volunteer.
Are you good at creating or sharing social media, fundraising, administration, film and video making, government advocacy, newsletters, speaking, representing a geographical area, organising zoom meetings or do you have other giftings or talents that you can use to bless the Lord, the Jewish people, and Israel. It doesn’t matter where you live in the world, you can get involved. Check it out here.
