On January 6th 2011, some 300 leaders of the Messianic-Jewish and Christian-Arab communities have gathered in the new campus of Israel College of the Bible in Netanya, for a one-day seminar. 

Dr. Erez Soref, ICB president, opened the day in greetings to all, reading from Scripture, and prayer.  Followed a dynamic time of worship in Hebrew, Arabic and English, led by Joel Goldberg and Pastor Joseph Dakwar.

The event was titled – Gog and Magog Now – Hope of Israel and the Nations.  The guest-speakers were Dr. Tim LaHaye – pastor, teacher and well-known author, and Dr. Ed Hindson – chancellor of Liberty University in VA, USA.  The local speakers included ICB professor Noam Hendren and pastor Joseph Dakwar from Haifa.

The speakers urged the audience to consider what scripture say about eschatology, in regards to both Israel and the Arab nations – and the ministry to our peoples.

Participants also enjoyed great fellowship, and the many bookstands of various messianic and Christian publishing houses.
