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\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">I understand that the United States is Israel\u2019s 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\u2019s 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\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Israel needs to understand that this is not their battle. They are God\u2019s people in God\u2019s 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 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=Psalm+20:7&amp;version=AKJV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Psalm 20:7<\/a>, <em>\u201cSome trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the LORD our God.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">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 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=Ezekiel+38&amp;version=AKJV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ezekiel 38<\/a> 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 (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=Ezekiel+38:5-6&amp;version=AKJV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ezekiel 38:5-6<\/a>). He will destroy them with a massive earthquake and volcanic eruptions on the Golan Heights (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=Ezekiel+38:19-22&amp;version=AKJV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ezekiel 38:19-22<\/a>). As a result, the Lord declares, <em>\u201cThus 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\u201d<\/em> (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=Ezekiel+38:23&amp;version=AKJV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ezekiel 38:23<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">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\u2019s wisdom, and not man\u2019s counsel. Let us pray that the current situation in Israel\u2019s war with Hamas is not a hesitation, but a time for seeking a godly strategy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is very clear that the Israeli public is not in the mode of hesitation concerning the war with Iran and its terrorist proxies.
