WILLIAM KOENIG, ANOTHER XIAN INVOLVED WITH SHOMRON LEADERS

In July of this year, William "Bill" Koenig accompanied four Shomron leaders; Gershon Mesika, Yossi Dagan, Shai Attias, and David Ha'Ivri, to 20 meetings on Capitol Hill with senators, congressman and congresswomen.  Tommy Waller and the staff of Hayovel ministries along with the Shomron Regional Council coordinated the meetings. Koenig writes on his website,

I was present for 18 of the 20 meetings. I worked closely with the men in strategizing prior to the meetings, assisted in getting their message out as effectively as possible, added comments during some of the meetings, helped analyze how the meetings went, and suggested how to best handle the media messages with so many sensitivities internally and externally to Israel.

I look forward to working on the follow-up to the meetings, assisting in preparation of Congressional resolutions (mentioned below), and helping to coordinate future meetings and visits to Israel.

William Koenig background,

In a career change during the summer of 1996, William began publishing “Koenig’s Watch,” a weekly summary of important Middle East and world news. He moved the publication online in late 1996, expanding the coverage and becoming “Koenig International News” (watch.org).

The news service has readers and e-mail subscribers in all 50 U.S. states and 105 countries.

In early 1999, William produced the audiotape, “Countdown 2000,” discussing ten major events to watch moving into the new century.

He moved his news organization to Washington, D.C., in 2001 and became a White House correspondent.

His experience at the White House has provided extraordinary behind-the-scenes experience and insight. He has learned much from the White House visits of world leaders, the daily routines and events of our nation’s capital, and some of the most significant news events in our nation’s history.

He writes a weekly 14-page news report called “Koenig’s Eye View from the White House,” that focuses on world news that is biblically relevant and White House news from a Christian perspective.

In 2001, he co-authored a book with John McTernan, Israel: The Blessing or the Curse.

In February 2004, he authored Eye to Eye - Facing the Consequences of Dividing Israel,” which was revised and updated in July 2006. The book is in its 14th printing.

He has traveled extensively to 49 U.S. states and 32 countries on six continents.

He was a member of First Baptist Dallas and Dallas Theological Seminary’s President’s Council before moving to Washington.

William and his wife, Claudia, reside in the Washington metropolitan area. They attend McLean Bible Church in McLean, Virginia.

The problem?  The xian agenda for future of Israel is notthe same as the Jewish agenda for the future of Israel and when these agenda's conflict, which is inevitable, all hell will break loose.

Koenig's involvement with Israeli leaders isn't new.  He was also involved with Joel Bell and the Worldwide Biblical Zionists. If you aren't familiar with Bell and the Worldwide Biblical Zionists, an arm of Likud, you can read more here. In this 2008 video Bell sums up the political agenda of xians working with Israeli leaders.  Speaking about the Likud party he says,

"If they get 40 seats they will be able to create a central right government that will be able to implement policy based on the covenant and the vision of the restoration of the House of Israel in bringing Judah, Joseph and Ephraim back to the land of Israel."

When he says "House of Israel", he is referring to a body made up of xians and Jews who believe in and worship yeshu as king and messiah of Israel and the son of G-d. Joseph and Ephraim refers to the "10 lost tribes" which he believes are represented by xians, whether the are from the lost tribes or not.

Xian aliyah is the top priority for xians working with Jewish leaders.  Conversion of Jews, Israeli Jews in particular, is still important as evidence by Koenig's remarks in the video above.
