Let’s Practice…

1. Why did Jesus center His ministry in Galilee, rather than in Judea?

2. Describe the makeup of the Sanhedrin:

3. Why could the Sanhedrin NOT crucify Jesus without the help of Rome?

4. When did Israel finally become a nation again after 3500 years?

5. Why do you suppose so many Palestinians and Syrians are holding severe grudges toward the country
of Israel?

6. What was the war called that gave Israel so much more territory and control?

7. Israel ranks among the top_____________ nations in the world economically.

Let’s get Personal…

Activity: Do you pray for Israel? You know, every nation around them has sworn to destroy them from
the face of the planet. They are constantly under attack physically and politically. We need to pray, as
God has commanded us, for the Peace of Jerusalem and that God would bring light to those who live
there. They need to recognize their Messiah, who came to give them peace. Take some time now and
pray for the tiny nation of Israel.
