Jerusalem, Israel

This is our last day (this trip) in the Land. And it is a very long day. We actually depart from Ben Gurion very early tomorrow morning. Agenda for the day includes packing, of course.

We ended up with much more than we came with. One big reason is that yesterday we took a leisurely trip to Ariel in the Shomron (Samaria).

Our first stop was with friends Estee and Nissim in our favorite shop in all the Land. Nissim is a well-known wedding dress designer. His taste as a buyer for his shop is unparalleled. Just ask Pastor Lynne Hammond. And he gives us amazing discounts. Practically give-away prices we cannot refuse!

 

Eshel Hashomron Hotel

The main focus for our trip yesterday was to visit our longtime friends, Menachem Gilboa and Tuvia Gelbard. And to encourage them to reopen their beautiful and strategically-located hotel. We were their first foreign guests in 1991. I remember how happy I was to learn there was a hotel where we could stay in the biblical heart of the Land. A place in the middle of Joshua’s conquests and near ancient Shiloh.

Yesterday, we reminisced about our more than thirty-year friendship. Menachem recalled how I said, “Can you take me to Shiloh?” He rehearsed how there was absolutely nothing there to be seen. But he took us. We have since been witness to huge archeological “digs” and a good deal of development of the ancient site.

Tovah passed away in 2020. With covid, terrorism and the war, and the passing of his beloved wife, Menachem has not opened the hotel since. As we met various leaders in Samaria, including the mayor of Ariel, we heard them lament the fact that the only hotel in the area was not available. And that it is much needed. So, I went to encourage Menachem. I believe he took heart. At any rate he is opening it for our trip in March.

Tovahโ€™s gravestone reflects how Israel and its heartland is the very heart of Menachem and Tovah

Itโ€™s a deal!!! Our tour will get to stay at the Eshel Hashomron in March.

 

Jeremiahโ€™s Dungeon

Shelli and I had a very unique experience in the City of David in Jerusalem. We actually sat in the dungeon where Jeremiah was held. Of course, not under the same conditions. We were not sitting in the “mire,” but in comfortable chairs. We could look up and see the hole where they sent down the rope and cloths for Jeremiah to use when they pulled him out. (See Jeremiah 38:6โ€“13) More proof that the Bible is true and accurate.

 

Migdal Arbel Business Meeting with Nir Kimchi

Heading into business meeting | After business meetingโ€”lunch

One last business meeting with Nir Kimchi. Oh, how blessed we are to have this man and this firm. We discussed two options. First and the ideal: should the Lord provide the total cost needed tomorrow ($20ย million), we could be positioned there fully in eighteen months. Other options: move out the time to two years or more. While such figures were at one time off my radar screen, they are not now. To see what we will have for this amount is amazing. Especially in Israel. In comparison, Nir told of a deal he recently oversaw for a 2,000-square-foot apartment in an ideal locationโ€”cost: $9.5 million.

And, of course, after the business meeting, we went out to eat.

Packing now (5:30 pm Monday). Leaving the hotel at 3 am Tuesday. Arriving in Newark at 11:45 am Tuesday. Branson soon thereafter.

Shalom, Shalom from Yerushalayim!

  4. Sandra Hughes on December 3, 2024 at 11:40 am

    We agree together and call in the $20m needed for the quicker finish! Thank you ministering spirits, that you go out and cause the funds to come in. You are closing deals, finding treasures, causing abundance of overflow and excess for people to give. We call in the HEAP$! Replenish the coffers. Touch people’s heart and nudge those that weren’t even thinking about the Migdal Arbel project to give. Lord, TWENTY MILLION DOLLARS is nothing to you so help us to increase our mindset, vision, and capacity to understand and receive what is ours in YOU.

    I remember that hotel in Ariel and when the suiside bomber came into the lobby. They must open and be a blessing to the area. Menachem will have his heart and finances healed. There was a shooting range in Ariel where we shot Uzis. We fulfilled prophecy by planting vineyards.

    Thank you for sharing this blog with us. It means so much.

    • Gail Stephenson (OKC) on December 3, 2024 at 10:42 pm

      AMEN, Sandra! I agree with your prayer and declaration

    • JClare Senior on December 4, 2024 at 2:12 pm

      AMEN TOO! In total agreement Sandra. David said “of God’s own Hands” was he able to give back to build the temple. I will do my part. The one who owns all the silver and the gold and a cattle on a thousand hills, release Angels now to summon resources in the Earth to Migdal Arbel. In Jesus might name.

    • Billye Brim on December 5, 2024 at 8:47 am

      Thank you, Sandra, for your being a true partner through the years. Yes. You were there and you remember dear Tovah, Menachem, and Tuvia.
      Thank you, for agreeing for the funds to complete the Lord’s project Migdal Arbel.
      I know your faith is developed, and your supply of the Spirit in this agreement is powerful.
      I do hope you can be on the Wednesday 8 am call when we go before the Father with our supplication.
      Love from a spiritual mom,
      Billye Brim

      Praise God from whom all and all and all blessings flow. And praise God you are one of the all that the blessings are flowing through. I am so happy. To God be the glory forever and ever. I to agree with you in prayer that Sandra Hughes prayed. Thank you!

  7. Lorie Hartman on December 3, 2024 at 2:17 pm

    • LB on December 3, 2024 at 7:46 pm

      Hi Lorie,
      During both the December 2023 and June 2024 Israel tours with Dr. Billye Brim, she and the group visited Olea Essence (www.oleaessence.com). This business near the Sea of Galilee sells wonderful olive oil and also other products as well. I hope this helps you and your friends! Thank you for wanting to support the small businesses of Israel!

    Praise the Lord for you and your family and ministry, Sister Billye. I look forward to your news blog each month so I can stay up to date with your ministry, your movements, and where we are at in His time!

    I am 78 year-old Queenslander, from Australia… and a student and partner of my spiritual Dad, Brother Kenneth Copeland, since the early nineties. Iit is always exciting to sit under your ministry at KCM’s annual Mininster’s Conferences… and catch up with you each week on the Victory channel.

    One day… I will join one of your Israel tours, should Jesus tarry… for I know it would be an amazing time because of history with Israel.

    Thank’s so much for your encouraging prophetic teachings… I declare the Abundant 2 Cor 9.8,9,10 BLESSING on you and your ministry, in Jesus’ name.

    God Bless you richly in all wisdom and understanding… and have a BANG-UP Christmas!

    Welcome back home, Miss Billye. Your home away from home and your adventures there have thrilled me yet again. So many things are happening, ma’am, it’s just amazing to be any part of it at all. Thank you for always including us. Blessings to Miss Shelli also; we do so love you both.

  15. Corrine Cardoza on December 4, 2024 at 1:38 am

    The Lord strengthen you both. Such an amazing trip to the Land, as always.
    I loved seeing the photos of Menachem. I loved the trip we had with you when we stayed in Ariel at Eshel Hashomron in Samaria. It was during the second Intifada and the hotel lobby had been blown up by a suicide bomber. They had just got it all back together. Tovah had recovered from her shrapnel wounds. It was such a testimony of their Resilience!
    It was such a joy to see that they will open the hotel for you in March,
    I trust the Lord directed you to encourage Menachem and Tuvia about the hotel.
    The photos of the Land and the People are so precious. I loved seeing and reading your blogs. It always stirs my heart for Israel and the Plan of God.
    The Lord strengthen you by His spirit in your inner man, and have a powerful meeting with Hannahโ€™s Prayer Conference.
    Happy Birthday! ื™ื•ื ื”ื•ืœื“ืช ืฉืžื—
    With much love,
