Jacob to Jeshurun Name Change: Liar to Blessed One Isaiah 44

Isaiah 44: He was born Jacob but the Lord saw him as Jeshurun. Jacob To Jeshurun is a little-known name change found in the scriptures. In Isaiah forty-four, verse two, we see that Isaiah uses the name Jeshurun rather than Jacob. The prophet used this rarely-seen name for the biblical patriarch Jacob. If you’re like me, or most people, you skip past the name when you read it in the text. But…

Market Minute California Housing Market Update Feb 2024

Stay informed and make smart real estate decisions with our latest updates on the Murrieta housing market. In the recent research by the California Association of Realtors (CAR), they uncovered crucial data points that shed light on the current state of real estate in California, especially Murrieta. 🌟 🏠 Housing Affordability Challenges: Affordability in California hit a 16-year low in the last quarter of 2023, with the statewide index for existing single-family homes remaining at 15%. High prices and increased mortgage rates contributed to the struggle, making it the lowest level in 16 years. However, there's hope on the horizon, with rates expected to decline in the next 12 months. 📈 Market Momentum: Preliminary data indicates that both sales and listings have been gradually improving since the end of 2023. If this momentum continues, the California housing market, including Murrieta, could witness a positive start in 2024. 🏡 Home Purchase Sentiment: Fannie Mae's Home Purchase Sentiment Index reached its highest level in nearly two years in January 2024, showing a rise in consumer confidence in job security and an optimistic outlook on mortgage rates. Despite this, the sentiment on home buying remained low. As affordability is expected to improve slightly, we anticipate a mild increase in home purchase sentiment throughout 2024. 💼 CEO Confidence: CEOs are feeling more positive about the economy, according to the Conference Board Measure of CEO Confidence. The index surged to 53 in Q124, with business leaders optimistic about current economic conditions and expecting improvement over the next six months. However, political uncertainty ahead of the 2024 elections is identified as a significant challenge. 📉 Inflation Expectations: Short-term inflation expectations remain mostly stable, with consumers projecting a median inflation of 3% a year from now. While this is consistent with December 2023, it marks a significant drop from the 5% reported in January 2023. 🚧 Construction Spending: U.S. construction spending gained momentum at the end of 2023, with a 0.9% month-over-month increase and a 13.9% year-over-year jump. Residential outlays played a crucial role, indicating a potential rise in single-family outlays as home-builders scale up production in 2024.

Assyrian Genocide: Turkey's Ottoman Empire and Slaughters

Assyrian Genocide: A Fate Worse Than Death In the Assyrian Genocide, from 1914-1918, historians remind the world about another genocidal episode perpetrated by the Turkish government. I say ‘another genocidal episode’ because the Turkish government was guilty of a much worse slaughter. Though, to this day, they deny that it ever happened. But it did. Surviving families still live and give valid…

Jihad on Demand. A U.S. Cleric Calls on Muslims in America

“It’s time to learn the glory of Jihad,” says a Michigan-based cleric. A well-known Islamic teacher in Michigan is calling for all faithful Muslims to join in on the Jihad! This cleric, who I name below, goes on to say, “It’s time for mothers to nurse their infants with the love of jihad and the ambition of wanting to become a mujahid and a shaheed[3].” He is essentially calling on all Muslims to…

Hamas or Israel. Sealing our destiny with the wrong choice

Hamas or Israel, why is the choice so difficult? As I write this post, Hamas or Israel is a choice that many people are making. War is raging. Many Jews in Israel have died. Babies were butchered. Mothers and fathers watched their children die. Elderly Holocaust survivors were killed. Israel has struck back with unprecedented military force. Hundreds of innocent Palestinians have died…

Jacob to Jeshurun: Israel's struggles a model for Christians

From Jacob to Jeshurun, the Jews model our path to Righteousness. Jacob to Jeshurun, a beautiful picture of the Gospel story is hidden within a little-known name change. Whenever a key figure in the biblical narrative had his name changed, it was always significant. Both to him and the broader message of the unfolding story of God’s redemptive plan of righteousness. Probably the most notable name…

The Holy One of Israel will make a way through the Sea

The Holy One of Israel will do something new. As the Bible tells us. “The time has come for judgment to begin in the House of the Lord.” We read that in 1 Peter 4:17.  The Apostle Peter wrote those words nearly two thousand years ago. When he penned those words, the term ‘Christian’ was new to the world. And the Christian Church was just getting started. Surprisingly, the intense persecution they…
