A Bright Hope for Jewish Children

On that tragic morning of October 7th, one of the most heart wrenching things that took place was the horrific crimes that were perpetrated upon the Jewish children and infants. Children and infants were not only murdered but were dismembered and beheaded. These actions by the Hamas murderers displayed their immense hatred for the Jewish people. This is a clear testimony to their demonic depravity that has no conscience.

The Bible and history teach that one of the greatest barometers of a culture is what they do with children and babies. In the context of the defense of a culture, the Bible declares in Psalm 127:3, “Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.” Godly people realize that one of the greatest treasures in this life are our children and grandchildren.

The culture of radical Islam, like Hamas, not only hates Jewish children. They do not value their own children. All over the Muslim world that hates Israel, they are raising their children to be future terrorists and to hate the Jewish people. Children should never be taught to hate anyone. This poisons their soul. In contrast, this is not what is being taught in the Israeli culture. Golda Meir, the former Prime Minister of Israel, once said, “We can forgive [the Arabs] for killing our children. We cannot forgive them for forcing us to kill their children. We will only have peace with [the Arabs] when they love their children more than they hate us…”

According to the Bible there will come a time, during the Kingdom of our Lord, when there will be peace between the Arab nations and Israel. Read Isaiah 60. Only then will there be a bright hope for the Jewish children. Long ago, the Prophet Zechariah wrote, “And the streets of the city [Jerusalem] shall be full of boys and girls playing in the streets thereof” (Zechariah 8:5).

We long for that day to come when there will be no more war. Jesus will rule over the nations and peace will be over His entire kingdom. Children will be able to be children and live in a world of peace. Come Lord Jesus!

Palestinians and Hamas are One and the Same

Those who live in the Middle East and understand the daily developments have a clear grasp of what is happening. Bassam Tawil, a Muslim Arab based in the Middle East, writing for Gatestone Institute comments,

“There is absolutely no difference between the Palestinian Authority (PA) and Hamas when it comes to spreading hate against Israel and inciting the murder of Jews. Pictured: PA President Mahmoud Abbas said in 2015 that the Palestinians will not allow Jews “with their filthy feet to defile our Al-Aqsa Mosque,” and “We bless every drop of blood that has been spilled for Jerusalem, which is clean and pure blood, blood spilled for Allah…” (Image source: Palestinian Media Watch video screenshot)

“While many have condemned the Iran-backed Hamas terror group for the October 7 massacre that killed 1,400 Israelis and wounded at least 5,400 others, the fact is that the Palestinian Authority (PA) and its leaders also bear responsibility for the carnage. The PA’s rhetoric and actions actively paved the way for the hell that Hamas unleashed on Israel.

“There is absolutely no difference between the Palestinian Authority and Hamas when it comes to spreading hate against Israel and inciting the murder of Jews. It has also been proven that each time Israel cedes land or makes gestures to the PA or Hamas, they respond by increasing terror attacks against Jews. The areas controlled by the PA in the West Bank and Hamas in the Gaza Strip have become havens for countless terror groups” (Gatestone Institute, October 31, 2023).

As Israel fights for its survival against Hamas, the world needs to wake up to the reality that forcing Israel to surrender the West Bank [biblical Judea and Samaria] for the creation of a Palestinian State is the same as creating another Hamas to live beside of Israel. Furthermore, the Bible declares that the West Bank is the heartland of the Promised Land. Those who promote a Palestinian State and want to remove Jews from this area are placing themselves in conflict with Almighty God!

Gaza Civilians Joined Hamas Terrorist on October 7 Invasion of Israel

The world speaks of the Gaza civilians as being innocent of the murderous acts of Hamas who invaded Israel on Saturday, October 7th. However, new evidence is mounting that demonstrates that many ordinary Gaza civilians also joined the invasion. Everyone should read the following report from World Israel News,

Hesitation or Strategy?

It is very clear that the Israeli public is not in the mode of hesitation concerning the war with Iran and its terrorist proxies. The Israeli people are calling for their political and military leaders to attack Hamas in Gaza, Hezbollah in the north, and to strike the heart of Iran’s nuclear facilities. However, it seems that the leaders in Israel are not listening to their people, but to the counsel of former President Obama and President Joe Biden.

I understand that the United States is Israel’s strongest ally. However, I fear that it is a big mistake for Israel to listen to Obama and Biden. (1) Both of these men have failed America and the world with their lies and weakness in foreign policies. Thanks to their weakness, our world is much more dangerous. (2) Both of these men have said that Israel is their friend, but their actions have demonstrated otherwise. Both have negotiated with Iran in Iran’s march toward the production of a nuclear arsenal. They have trusted the liars of Tehran and given them large sums of money. All of this happened while the religious leadership in Iran continued to call for the death of the U.S. and Israel. (3) It is apparent that the West does not understand the Middle East. They do not comprehend the passion and dedication of Islamic warriors who are willing to commit suicide for the will of their god who call for the death of the free world. They do not understand that the radical religious elements in Iran are serious about bringing about global carnage so that their messiah will come to establish his sinister global kingdom over all the earth. (4) The nations of the world have told Israel for 75 years that Israel does not have the right to the land that God gave them. The world has consistently told Israel that they do not have the right to defend itself against those who are committed to the destruction of the one and only Jewish state in the world. (5) Most importantly, the counsel from Obama and Biden and other leaders in the West is not godly counsel. These men do not know God and do not have wisdom of God. They do not know or understand the Word of God. Their ways are not God’s ways. Their standards of morality and justice are not based upon just and righteous principles that reflect the holiness of God. Therefore, their counsel is deadly and misleading.

Israel needs to understand that this is not their battle. They are God’s people in God’s land. The Lord has promised them victory in their wars with their enemies. Like Israel in the past, they are trusting in the might of man instead of the power of God. Oh, that the Lord would have them to know Psalm 20:7, “Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the LORD our God.”

I believe that the Lord is about to demonstrate to Israel that they must turn back to Him and trust Him. When the war of Ezekiel 38 comes (and it appears to be getting closer every day), the Lord will supernaturally destroy the enemies who invade Israel, which include Russia, Iran, and Turkey (Ezekiel 38:5-6). He will destroy them with a massive earthquake and volcanic eruptions on the Golan Heights (Ezekiel 38:19-22). As a result, the Lord declares, “Thus will I magnify myself, and sanctify myself; and I will be known in the eyes of many nations, and they shall know that I am the LORD” (Ezekiel 38:23).

As we watch this current war unfold, let us pray that the Lord will demonstrate His presence and power to His people. Let us pray that the leadership in Israel will seek God’s wisdom, and not man’s counsel. Let us pray that the current situation in Israel’s war with Hamas is not a hesitation, but a time for seeking a godly strategy.

Iran Threatens to Strike Haifa

According to World Israel News, on Monday, October 23rd, an Islamic Revolutionary Commander warned they are ready “without hesitation” to strike Haifa. Iran warns that if Israel continues to carry out air strikes against Hamas’ positions in Gaza, they will launch a missile attack against Israel’s third largest city. Haifa is one of Israel’s major industrial centers on the northern seacoast. See map.

As this happened, several leaders of the Palestinians on the West Bank (biblical Judea and Samaira) praised Hamas for its attack against Israel on October 7th. It is reported that at least 58 percent of the Palestinians in Gaza also support Hamas and are calling for the destruction of Israel. This should open the eyes of the world to recognize that the Palestinians are not a viable peace partner with Israel.

It seems that the enemies of Israel in the Middle East are no longer hiding behind half-truths to blind the world into thinking the Islamic world wants to make peace with Israel. It is evident that we are about to witness a major eruption of war in the Middle East.


Israel’s only path to real, lasting peace will not come until Messiah Jesus comes to establish His kingdom. Only then will the Lord make wars cease (Psalm 46:9). Please pray for Israel and her soldiers as they stand on the front lines against Islamic warriors who are seeking to take control of the nations. This is the beginning of the major storm that will lead the world into the Tribulation Period. Prepare your soul to meet the Lord. Be ready for the shout that will take us out!
