I believe that some day we will look back and see the significance of the events that transpired in Israel with Hamas\u2019 invasion of Israel. The events that took place in Israel on that fateful day represent the very nature of the events that will transpire for the duration of the seven-year Tribulation. The well-trained and purposefully orchestrated violence, murderous and brutal killing of innocent Israelis is an example of the actions and attitudes that will prevail for seven years in the army of the Antichrist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">At the very beginning of the Tribulation, the armies of the Antichrist will go forth \u201cconquering, and to conquer\u201d (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=Revelation+6:2&amp;version=AKJV\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=Revelation+6:2&amp;version=AKJV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Revelation 6:2<\/a>).

Their trail of blood will decimate one-fourth of the global population near the beginning of the Tribulation. They will share presents and candy as they celebrate dead Jews they have killed and left to rot in the sun (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=Revelation+11:7,+10&amp;version=AKJV\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=Revelation+11:7,+10&amp;version=AKJV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Revelation 11:7, 10<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">It has been startling to see the number of people around the world, and especially here in the U.S., that support and praise Hamas, rather respect and have empathy for the innocent Jewish victims of Hamas\u2019 inhuman slaughter of Jewish babies, children, and the elderly. These same people will also worship the murderous and lawless Antichrist. They will love him and bow before him and worship him as a god (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=2+Thessalonians+2:4&amp;version=AKJV\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=2+Thessalonians+2:4&amp;version=AKJV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">2 Thessalonians 2:4<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">They will be drawn to this man because he is lawless and defiant.
