Behold, the Guardian of Israel neither slumbers nor sleeps! (Ps. 121:4)

Scripture employs the image of the eagle to express the Lord's watchfulness and care for his people Israel, beginning with the redemption from Egypt:

"You have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles’ wings and brought you to myself." (Ex. 19:4)

The Lord’s own portion was his people, Jacob his allotted share. He sustained him in a desert land, in a howling wilderness waste; he shielded him, cared for him, guarded him as the apple of his eye. As an eagle stirs up its nest, and hovers over its young; as it spreads its wings, takes them up, and bears them aloft on its pinions, the LORD alone guided him; no foreign god was with him. (Dt. 32:9-12) 

The Lord continues to watch over his people in our day, and beckons those who serve him to do so as well. This year's UMJC conference is dedicated to equipping advocates who will stand with the land and people of Israel during this critical time, and with Yeshua as Messiah through it all.
