Israel is once again enraging the whole world with their disproportionate attacks on Palestinian civilians. Since July 8, Israel has killed over 1800 Palestinians, wounded nearly 10,000, and displaced a quarter of a million. Most of the casualties have been civilians. The Palestinians have run out of room on their morgues, so they have started having to store dead children in freezers. The Israelis have warned Palestinians to flee to Gaza City, and then they bombed Gaza City. They have put people in the hospital, and then bombed the hospital. They have caused people to have to go to refugee camps, and then bombed the refugee camps. There is no place for the Palestinians to go – they are sitting ducks.
They falsely accused the Palestinians of capturing an Israeli soldier, Hadar Goldin, and then went on a vengeful rampage killing scores of people after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned the US “not to ever second guess me again.” The soldier ended up already having died in combat. Despite knowing the coordinates of UN facilities located in Gaza, they have bombed at least 6 of those facilities, including striking a UN school today, August 3, killing around 10 people. The latest strike on the UN has resulted in condemnatory language from the US and the rest of the world, while at the same time our Congress has almost unanimously approved $225 million more dollars to fund Israeli missiles. There have been 4 ceasefires so far, all of which have been broken within hours. Each side blames the other, and since they’re both liars, nobody knows who to believe.
The citizens of Israel overwhelmingly support what Israel is doing, and they overwhelmingly oppose a ceasefire. They are a bloody, sinful people.
Now, I’m certainly not saying that Hamas has done nothing wrong here. They are, after all, continuously launching missiles into Israel, and are just as stiff necked and vengeful as the Isralies. But Israel, with their powerful military, has taken it too far.
In the meantime, we have these so called Christians around the world about to wet themselves with excitement because the events going on in the world right now with Israel and Russia might have something to do with Gog and Magog, and Armageddon, all the while refusing to say anything about the atrocities and blatant sins perpetrated by Israel that they see right before their eyes. Israel has one of the world’s most liberal abortion laws – they kill 110 of their own babies every day, so why would they have a problem killing Palestinian babies? They regularly spit in God’s face by having fag pride parades. They have forsaken the commandments of God, they have denied the Messiah, and we are supposed to say that these are the people of God? There will come a day when some of these Jews WILL repent, and we look forward to that amazing day, but that day is not here now and we cannot pretend like it is.
Thus saith the Lord GOD; This [is] Jerusalem: I have set it in the midst of the nations and countries [that are] round about her. And she hath changed my judgments into wickedness more than the nations, and my statutes more than the countries that [are] round about her: for they have refused my judgments and my statutes, they have not walked in them. Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because ye multiplied more than the nations that [are] round about you, [and] have not walked in my statutes, neither have kept my judgments, neither have done according to the judgments of the nations that [are] round about you; Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I, even I, [am] against thee, and will execute judgments in the midst of thee in the sight of the nations. And I will do in thee that which I have not done, and whereunto I will not do any more the like, because of all thine abominations. Therefore the fathers shall eat the sons in the midst of thee, and the sons shall eat their fathers; and I will execute judgments in thee, and the whole remnant of thee will I scatter into all the winds. Wherefore, [as] I live, saith the Lord GOD; Surely, because thou hast defiled my sanctuary with all thy detestable things, and with all thine abominations, therefore will I also diminish [thee]; neither shall mine eye spare, neither will I have any pity. A third part of thee shall die with the pestilence, and with famine shall they be consumed in the midst of thee: and a third part shall fall by the sword round about thee; and I will scatter a third part into all the winds, and I will draw out a sword after them. Thus shall mine anger be accomplished, and I will cause my fury to rest upon them, and I will be comforted: and they shall know that I the LORD have spoken [it] in my zeal, when I have accomplished my fury in them. Moreover I will make thee waste, and a reproach among the nations that [are] round about thee, in the sight of all that pass by. So it shall be a reproach and a taunt, an instruction and an astonishment unto the nations that [are] round about thee, when I shall execute judgments in thee in anger and in fury and in furious rebukes. I the LORD have spoken [it]. When I shall send upon them the evil arrows of famine, which shall be for [their] destruction, [and] which I will send to destroy you: and I will increase the famine upon you, and will break your staff of bread: So will I send upon you famine and evil beasts, and they shall bereave thee; and pestilence and blood shall pass through thee; and I will bring the sword upon thee. I the LORD have spoken [it].
These nations that they have so enraged will rise up against them: Zechariah 14:1-3 – 1 Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee. For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city. Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.
We thank God for these shakings in the world, and we pray for His return.
