ISRAEL AT WAR – October 7, 2023
Headlines in
the media around the world are blaring the news “Israel At War”. For Christians and other students of the
Bible, the carnage of thousands of people killed and wounded on both sides was
a shock, but should not have been a totally unexpected surprise. What would be
a surprise would be if anyone in either of those two groups could not imagine
that such a thing could or would happen.
Rather than
being too repetitive, I’d like to refer you to the three blog posts I made
earlier this year:
· June 6, 2023, titled: “Christianity
and Israel: Linked From the Beginning”;
· June 11, 2023, titled: Christianity
and Israel – Part Two”; and
· August 1, 2023, titled: “Christianity
and Israel – More Links From Our Past”.

Some of our
neighbors, friends and colleagues might have negative feelings towards the
Nation of Israel, and / or some of our Jewish fellow-citizens. Whatever the rationale behind their thoughts
and positions, our support for Israel must remain unwavering. Through our Bible
study and knowledge of history even to date, we know that the Nation as a
whole, and many / most Israelis have not been able to overcome the attractions
of this world. But as sinners ourselves,
we also have been similarly challenged.
The degree of
our support for Israel should be consistent with the promise that the LORD made
to Abram (later renamed Abraham) when He told him that through his descendants (Israel)
would come our Lord Jesus. The LORD said: “…I will bless them that bless thee, and
curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be
blessed.” (Genesis 12: 3)
In these “Latter
Days”, the Bible scripture warns that it will take the appearance and negotiations
of the Antichrist to bring the “peace” that Israel is so anxiously awaiting. We
know that that “peace treaty” is only a disguise / cover for his true evil
intent. Note the scriptural prophecy of Daniel’s “Seventy Weeks” affecting Israel
and the entire world. (Daniel 9: 20-27) This
current attack by the Nation’s sworn enemies is yet another reminder that Israel
will be highly vulnerable to the advances and guile of that evil force…perhaps
sooner than others might be aware.
We must
remain strong in our support for the Nation of Israel.
