The International Christian Embassy Jerusalem was founded in 1980 as an evangelical Christian response to the need to comfort Zion according to the scriptural mandate:

"Comfort, comfort my people, says your God. Speak tenderly to Jerusalem, and proclaim to her that her hard service has been completed, that her sin has been paid for, that she has received from the Lord's hand double for all her sins." Isaiah 40:1-2

This passage of scripture contains two exhortations :

To comfort the Jewish people

To declare the purpose of God to the Jewish people.

The ICEJ supports the nation of Israel because we love her, are indebted to her and seek to obey God's word. We are not trying to fulfill an end time agenda, but are standing on biblical principles. We proclaim a message to Zion that her modern day restoration is not a historical accident, but the fulfillment of God's word (Ezekiel 36:24-26; Luke 21:24). A time of great glory awaits Israel even though dark times may precede the break of day. Vision will not fail and from a Jewish Jerusalem, the Lord's law will go out and the "nations shall not learn war anymore" (Isaiah 2:1-4).

Jesus said that "Salvation is of the Jews" (John 4:22) and Paul affirms that everything we hold dear as Christians has come from the Jewish people (Romans 3:1; Romans 9:1-5 and Romans 15:27). We are indeed their debtors and now more than ever Israel needs our support, prayers and ministry of comfort.

We invite you to be partners with us in this great work and as you visit our Web site we ask you to consider praying daily for God's precious people and for Jerusalem. This too is the command of scripture! (Psalm 122:6; Isaiah 62:6-7).

Those who obey it will be blessed.
