Israel and the law of prostitution

An unprecedented moral and spiritual revolution is currently taking place in Israel. The government has just approved the application of the law that prohibits prostitution in the country. The new law was passed a year and a half ago by the Knesset, and it punishes people caught seeking the services of a prostitute, as well as those detained in places known for prostitution such as brothels and red dots. In it, first-time offenders will be fined 2,000 NIS ($ 530), with the amount doubled for repeat offenses within three years. Prosecutors will also be empowered to charge clients with prostitution in certain cases, with a maximum penalty of NIS 75,300 ($ 20,400). Initially, the law came into effect in mid-2020, but was delayed to give the state and other interest groups time to work out the rehabilitation mechanisms for sex workers and allow them to find alternative livelihoods. Prostitution in Israel is a $ 500 million industry with some 20,000 sex workers. Most of them are foreigners. Israel joins other nations such as Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, etc., who have since adopted the “Nordic Model” to address the problem of prostitution. This model criminalizes buyers, decriminalizes the seller, and prepares a way out for practitioners, providing support services to help them. It also makes sex trafficking a crime. This model has worked well in more than ten countries that practice it.

Speaking about the call and pressure from some right-wing groups to further delay the implementation of the law, the country’s Justice Minister Avi Nissenkorn said that women are not property and that their bodies cannot be rented at any price. . He refused to postpone the law. For her part, the head of the Human Trafficking Department of the Ministry of Justice, Dina Domenitz, pointed out that once the law comes into force, the era of ambivalence regarding the phenomenon of prostitution has ended … She also agreed with Mr. Nissenkorn in that women are not for sale “We are stating, very clearly, that women and men are not commodities that can be rented for an hour, and that their dignity and freedom cannot be discounted. We hope that This law helps thousands of people who are engaged in prostitution, reduce the phenomenon of human trafficking and also generate real social change for women, “she said. Until now, the country had brought this age-old battle to strip clubs, erotic dance clubs, and other lewd venues. I remember Tel Aviv’s notorious sodomic Pussycat strip club shutting down and then becoming a hub of Jewish values ​​in 2019. This club could rightly be described before it was shut down as a mainstay in the immoral capital of the Middle East. In our beloved holy land?

We congratulate the government and people of Israel for their steadfastness in addressing this shameful, degrading and cancerous global threat. This long-standing lewd practice brings so much pain, stain, and shame to those involved, their families, and society. We all know that prostitution has health, psychological, social, security and spiritual implications. It promotes the spread of HIV / AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and we know how many people die or are permanently “unproductive” every day from these terrible diseases. The statistics are there. There are many health problems around you. In fact, someone asked if these prowling clients don’t see the decay, scars, stitches, and bleeding on the bodies of these ladies of easy virtue. Destroy individuals involved psychologically and emotionally. Truncate dreams, visions and aspirations of life. It also diverts resources, energy, emotions, care, and time that needs to be channeled into the right family and relationships. And these activities are not only in brothels, there is also private and corporate prostitution all around us. So it also has security implications. We know that these prostitutes and brothels harbor criminals, spies and other antisocial elements. A nation that carelessly allows street men and women free will definitely open its doors to enemies. It will be very difficult for you to be sure.

Then the spiritual: prostitution and other immoral acts bring spiritual ruin and defeat. Until now, I wondered how Israel had managed to resist or defeat its enemies in the midst of all these weaknesses. True. In the Bible, we are warned in various ways against prostitution and sexual immorality, and such sins always brought defeat and divine punishment. When Sodom and Gomorrah practiced homosexuality and other sexual sins, they were totally wiped out and wiped off the world map. When Noah’s generation lived in sexual sins that included sleeping with demonic spirits, they were swept away by the flood. When the son of Eli practiced the same in the house of God, Israel was repeatedly defeated by his enemies, the Ark of the Covenant was captured and the Priest Eli, his sons and hundreds of Israelite soldiers paid with their lives. You also remember the notorious Jezebel and Satanic ‘Balaam Doctrine’, where sexual immorality and idolatry were deliberately used to alienate Israel from God’s protection and presence. They paid terribly for that oversight. God’s people could not be defeated until they engaged in these sinful practices. Sin opens the door to defeat. This satanic strategy is still in use and is very effective today. God does not take the sins of immorality, idolatry, rape, and the shedding of innocent blood lightly and that is why the Old Testament laws allow anyone involved in any of these to be stoned to death. In the New Testament, we were also seriously warned to flee prostitution and sexual sins because the partners involved automatically become one in flesh, soul, spirit, and destruction. In fact, the apostle Paul clearly asked in 1 Corinthians 6:16: “Do you not know that he who is joined to a prostitute is one with her in body? For it is said that the two will be one flesh.” I hope you have understood it very well?

And because the sexual relationship was originally and divinely created to make the husband and wife one, united, physically and spiritually covenanted, a prostitute and the client or sexual partners also become one in the blood covenant, in the bond of the soul, in curses and punishment. Yes, sex is more than a physical pleasure and a fantasy. It is spiritual. It is divine. It is not as simple as the world wants us to believe. In reality, it is pouring out and receiving life from the partners. And that is why it also produces ‘currents’ of life, soul, emotional and spiritual. In fact, we have discovered that the blessing, the curses. favors and spirits (demons) can be transferred through sexual intercourse, and now imagine how much of the negative can be contacted through prostitution and immorality. By abolishing this sinful practice, Israel will now be spiritually, physically, and militarily stronger. Now they can confidently face their security, economic and social challenges with divine certainty. They have always counted on this. Now they will be completely divinely protected.

Now, Israel must also immediately follow this movement with a total ban on homosexual practices and homosexual parades. I always want to vomit whenever I see homosexuals marching through the Holy Land with their rebel flags and their wicked suits, dresses and posters. Gay parades in the holy streets of Jerusalem and Israel? It’s always like watching a horror movie for me. I mean the same city and town where God put his name and said they would be called his forever. And I always wonder if it is the same land that produced and welcomed people like Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, great prophets like Moses, Samuel, Elijah and Elisha, judges like Deborah and Samson. Powerful kings like David, Solomon, Josiah, Jehoshaphat, and positive change agents like Jesus, Peter, and Paul? It always leaves some of us in shock and disbelief. Remember that billions of Christians, Judaists and others are praying, observing, monitoring and feeling daily what is happening in Israel and in Israel. We urgently urge other countries to emulate Israel by enacting laws that restore the dignity and purpose of humanity.
