The West does not know what the war in Gaza is about. It is not about Hamas or the millions of Palestinian Muslims living in Gaza. At the heart of this war is the survival of the Jewish nation of Israel. It is a well known fact in the Middle East that the overwhelming majority of Muslims around the world hate Israel and the Jewish people. This is not a struggle for patriotism. It is a holy war for the global control of the world in the name of the Muslim God – Allah.

This was recently the subject of more than 150 prominent Muslim scholars that gathered at a conference in Istanbul Turkey to discuss the war in Gaza. For these clerics, the war did not start with Hamas’s invasion of Israel on October 7, 2023. It began, so they claim, when Israel unjustly attacked the Palestinians and Hamas the next day. For them, Israel is not fighting a war to defend itself against Islamic aggression. This war, they claim, is about the removal of the nation of Israel and killing all the Jews in the Middle East. They stated, “Gaza is not only a Palestinian issue; it is an issue of the entire Ummah [Islamic nation] and a just human cause that no one has the right to abandon. … [The] interpretation of Sharia laws and international humanitarian principles suggests that it is fine to sacrifice as many Palestinians as necessary for the sake of murdering Jews and destroying Israel. … it is obligatory for every capable Muslim in the Islamic world to wage armed jihad against the occupation in Palestine.” – worldisraelnews.com
This is why Israel knows it must destroy Hamas. If Hamas survives, it will be like waving the proverbial red flag in the face of a bull. It will only encourage them and many others throughout the Islamic world to joyfully continue to support the offensive struggle against the Jews. No appeasement or peace treaty will stop this conflict. It will not end until the King of Kings returns to settle this matter.
The is the war the Bible predicted would come in the last days when the Jewish people would return home to their land. Bible believers must remember that it is God who called the Jewish people to return to the land that God gave to them forever. In Ezekiel 36:24 God says, “For I will take you from among the heathen, and gather you out of all countries, and will bring you into your own land.” The previous context of this verse in Ezekiel 36 predicted that the Muslim nations surrounding Israel would passionately reject the Jewish return to their homeland. The Bible claims the Arabs would declare that the lands of Israel “are ours in possession” (Ezekiel 36:2). God says, they “have appointed my land into their possession with the joy of all their heart, with despiteful minds, to cast it out for a prey” (Ezekiel 36:5).
We are watching a Biblical war unfolding before our eyes. Don’t choose sides against God. This is about His people, His land, and His divine will. God has affirmed His love for His people and land many times in the Bible. In Jeremiah 31:3, God said to Israel, “I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore, with loving kindness have I drawn thee.” God made this declaration to Israel when they were in rebellion against him in the days of the prophet Jeremiah. Just like a father loves his children when they are wayward, so God eternally loves His people. This love is a part of His eternal, unchanging love that is rooted in His holy nature.
The enemies of Israel that seek to destroy it, are also the enemies of God (Psalm 83:1-8). When you hate Israel, you are hating God! When you curse Israel, you are curing God (Genesis 12:3).
We live in a world that hates God and everything that God has chosen. The world has entered the final battle with God. Stand with Him! “If God be for us, who can be against us” (Romans 8:31)?
