The Agonizing One Year Anniversary of the Massacre

Why is it that Christians die in natural disasters like everybody else? It's time for The Line of Fire with your host biblical scholar and cultural commentator Dr. Michael Brown. Your voice for moral sanity and spiritual clarity.

Call 866-34-TRUTH to get on The Line of Fire. And now here's your host Dr. Michael Brown. Hey friends, this is a very somber day. My apologies for the studio playing the incorrect tease to this show. This is not the show from last week where we talked about Christians dying in natural disasters. So my apologies for the studio getting that wrong in Winston-Salem.

I am in Dallas, Texas. We've had massive connection problems right until the last second. So I'm glad to be with you. It's a sober day. It is the one year anniversary of the October 7th Massacre. The worst shedding of Jewish blood in any day since the Holocaust. Something unprecedented on the soil of Israel where the whole model was never again. We now have a homeland.

We now have a place where we can protect ourselves. And yet there were massive security system failures on Israel. Monumental failures. And this is what happens when Israel is not vigilant for one day. Hamas terrorists, murderers, cold-blooded murderers, baby killers, rapists, slaughters of the elderly, slaughters of the innocent, still holding scores of hostages including one baby who was eight months old, one taken one year ago with his four-year-old brother. This is what Israel has been dealing with even today as decimated as Hamas is. Bombs coming in from Gaza. Even today bombs coming in, missiles coming in from Lebanon. And just a few days ago a massive ballistic onslaught from Iran with half-ton explosives on each of these 190 or so ballistic missiles.

Thank God that the Iron Dome and the other defense systems performed flawlessly and miraculously there were no casualties, no Israeli casualties. Israel surrounded by enemies that want to wipe it out. And yet in light of this anti-Semitism worldwide has only increased and there are people, major voices on the left and right, some with millions of followers saying well those things didn't have nobody, no women were raped and babies weren't killed and as if all the other slaughter is somehow not so bad. So we're going to talk about this today as I told students at Christ for the Nations Institute where I was teaching this morning. The same devil that wants to wipe out Israel wants to wipe you out.

If you're a father of Jesus he's marked you as well. The hatred, the onslaught, the evil, the horrors that you saw on that day that epitomizes, that represents who the enemy is and he has that same murderous hatred for you. So thanks for tuning in today on the Line of Fire. This is Michael Brown.

It is a sober day. We want to remember and we want to move forward and we want to do it with hope but not at the denial of pain and human suffering and yes I care about Palestinian suffering. I see them ultimately as victims of Hamas as well and the Lebanese people suffering. I see them victims of Hezbollah. These are victims of radical Islam. These are victims of terrorist organizations that want to wipe Israel off the map and some of them like the Houthis part of their slogan is death to Israel and death to America by the way and there are radical Muslims in the past who said first the Saturday people meaning the Jews then the Sunday people meaning the Christians so yes this matters to each of us plus this is ultimately a spiritual battle because it's God who brought the Jewish people back to land God who preserved us because of his goodness and faithfulness not because of our goodness and faithfulness brought us back to the land established us there it is Satan who wants to wipe us out therefore we stand with God against Satan if you have a question for me regarding the legitimacy of Israel in the land today regarding whether the people of Israel today are related to the Israel in the bible if you somehow believe Israel's guilty of genocide or committing terrorist acts or you're just trying to answer other people who raise those charges give me a call 866-3-4-truth 866-3-4-8-7-8-8-4 that is the number to call the Jerusalem Post published an article today and I want to read through it it is Hamas's October 7th massacre reliving the day hour by hour now remember this was at the end of the high holiday season in the fall so you have the first day of the seventh month on the biblical calendar but it's the first day of the first month on the traditional Jewish calendar Yom Teruah the sounding of the trumpets the blowing of the shofar a great wake-up call wake-up time that's why it became one of the reasons became the Jewish new year that's followed by 10 days called the amim no ra'im the days of awe time of soul searching in the Jewish community especially among religious Jews time of repentance living up to Yom Kippur the day of atonement on the 10th day of the seventh month five days after that is Sukkot Tabernacles the feast of Tabernacles and that goes on for a full week then an eighth day was ultimately added Shmini Atzeret the eighth day of the feast the festival but Sukkot closes in traditional Judaism with what's called Simchat Torah which is the rejoicing for the Torah the rejoicing because of the giving of the law the Torah to Israel considered the great privilege that God entrusted Israel with his commandments to be a witness nation on the earth it's a day of rejoicing celebration is to be the most joyous day on the calendar and it was that day that Sabbath that Hamas attacked 50 years to the Sabbath from the first Sabbath of October 50 years earlier in 1973 on Yom Kippur day of atonement that's when Egypt launched an attack and the Yom Kippur war so now 50 years later to the first Sabbath of October because the Jewish calendar shifts compared to the the the solar calendar uses a lunar calendar compared to the solar calendar so the the dates will shift from year to year but 50 years to that Sabbath again a massacre in Israel but this one far worse with hostages still languishing there today and in addition to the 1200 plus who were murdered that day and the over 250 that were taken hostage about 700 writ well over 700 Israeli soldiers have been killed in battle since then Israelis will watch tv each night wondering who's the next casualty who's the next fatality my neighbor's son my my my friend's husband who's the next one and again the Palestinians in Gaza would not be suffering today as they are if not for Hamas and their evil and their atrocities eight six six three four truth so this is by the Jerusalem Post staff published this

brown thanks friends for joining us on the line of fire we'll we'll get to some calls in a bit but as i'm just looking at a caller from sydney australia think of it friends it was three days three days after the october 7th massacre before israel had launched a major counter-attack yet into gaza and muslims gathered at the sydney opera house in sydney australia were chanting gas the jews friends this is reality you have students on college campuses in america saying we are all khamas they're not just saying we're staying with the palestinians saying we are all khamas we too are terrorists who want the annihilation of israel friends the these are realities there's there's no way you just stick your head in the sand and ignore it there was an editorial by brit stevens in new york times saying this is the year 2024 was the year american jews woke up and so the extent of anti-semitism in the country on the left and on the right and on the right from all different angles from all different sides they were aware of it on the right now became shockingly aware of it on the left what i want to do to drill this home a little bit further for those watching on youtube and facebook you'll see this but i want to take you to the site of the nova music festival i mentioned previously that one of my colleagues intercess release a house of prayer told me that he met one of the first responders to the the massacre met one of the first responders that was so traumatized by what he saw this is someone used to seeing tragedy and accidents and horrific things he was so traumatized by what he saw he could not speak literally for two weeks after getting there and he gave him a pendant in english it said bring them home now for the hostages but in hebrew it said our hearts are held hostage in in gaza so this this is footage from the the site of the massacre that i took with my dear friend ron canter who lives in israel with his Israeli wife elana and we'll divide into a couple of segments of it's it's a little long but you'll hear everything on radio if you're watching on youtube or facebook then you'll be able to see as well so let's let's play that first clip so i'm here at the grounds of the nova music festival with my old friend for decades ron canter ron's been here uh a bunch of times i just got here and it's a bit overwhelming uh every everywhere you see this is a young person someone was here that died most of them died some taken captive it's what do you say ron i mean how do we describe this it it was it was a massacre um here 300 well there were thousands of young people here doing what young people do and uh at about 6 30 in the morning gaza's right that way they began to see maybe a little bit north uh explosions in the sky there's no no big deal right for israeli for an israeli rockets coming from gaza is just you know tuesday or it's just normal i was in brazil recently and i said to a pastor you know in the beginning we thought it was just rocket fire and he stopped me and said just rocket fire yeah but that that that's what we live with all the time so there's explosions in the sky they're kind of making jokes in the beginning like we have the iron dome we're gonna be okay and then they begin to hear gunfire and every 10 minutes or so it got more and more severe what happened is there's a road right out there uh and which is why we don't believe that it was their initial plan to come here they didn't know about this so they find out they would have come in a different way they would come in directly from gaza right from the fence so they're coming down this road probably going somewhere else and it's like look at this yeah yeah shooting fish in a barrel yeah israeli unprotected this little security right there's a israeli documentary that was done that shows all the text messages and the the conversations what's that you know voices to parents and you know fathers saying you know mothers cry hi do what you can hi we're sending help messages of mothers knowing their children were dying have been shot already saying help is on the way but knowing help isn't going to come so they flooded in from the street from the road and they begin to shoot and kids just begin to i mean there there are bomb shelters here they threw grenades into the bomb shelters in the end dr brown it was 346 uh young people that were killed there's and this is what i'm going to share now this is a little bit intense a little warning but there's a woman named uh gal davush she came with her husband they got separated when they finally found her uh by eyewitness testimony she had been gang raped her her underwear was down to her knees her her her crotch was bloodied she had been from what we understand after the last one was done with her he just shot her in the head they cut off one of her breasts and played with it like a toy that this was savagery beyond anything we can imagine yeah they just i mean people who look at jews as animals anyway as just the enemy to be killed and so people say yeah with this like a rock festival yeah people doing what people do murder them you know and and ironically these are like peaceniks here right these are the people like love everybody get get along together right they would be most likely to want to do some sort of peace program yeah with palestinians hoping for peace with palestinians uh they're not hard core core right wingers they don't call for death for arabs they're they're they sweet kids so the mentality of kamos it's not about let's work out a two-state solution and live side by side peacefully kamos says there could be no jews it right in the land there can be no jews there must be annihilated or driven out and kamos it's not about a nationalist movement it's radical islam in other words the enemies of america right the same enemies here well that's really been the the philosophy or the ideology of the arab nations going back to before 1948 there can't be a jewish nation here yeah now over time egypt jordan now morocco they said you know what this is ridiculous let's it's better to live in peace uh but the radical islamic ideologies you know iran calls for the destruct not they don't call for a palestinian state right they call for the destruction of israel and while we're talking about the g word genocide understand that israel has suffered through 53 attempted genocides go back to to esther the the very words that that hayman and the and the hashua sent out it said on this day you were to go out and you were to kill every jew women and children young and old moses you know when he was a baby escaped genocide yeah jesus yeshua escaped genocide 50 the holocaust so genocide we're not perpetrators we're victims of it right and from the very outset let's let's move all up to 1947 right there was a proposal for two states before that yes 36 so so 47 um when the u.n announces the partition plan right at that time the arab nations start attacking right yes then in 48 when israel declares its independence then the major war right so the the all and the whole thing about the nakba originally that meant the defeat of the of the arab nations in war that was its first reference there you know the so-called catastrophe so the only thing that has kept israel here is god's grace and and militant security right in other words it's not like everyone said okay live and let live it's like no we will wipe you out we just can't do it yet right we have to apologize for having an effective military yeah we have to apologize for having the iron dome i see it congress men congress women all the time say it's not fair because israel has the iron dome understand if we don't have the iron dome i live in ashkelon i see rockets go over my house to ashdod all the time rockets land in we were ground zero for rocket fire on october 7th if we did not have the iron dome it would have been a massacre yeah and it would have been one of many throughout the last 20 30 years right and kamos has said since october 7th we want to do october 7th over and over yes until there is no worse and those look look around yeah this is this and this is celebrated right look whatever as israel's waging war in gaza and let's say could do this a little better this a little better we know the intent is not to kill civilians right it's the intent the goal right and that's why right now some israeli soldiers are dying in in gaza trying to fight a certain way and and not kill citizens minimize that to the contrary in gaza that when when they drag the corpse of an israeli not even a soldier israeli world everyone's shouting allahu akbar this is radical islam it's infected a whole people i look at the people of gaza's victims in a sense because they've been indoctrinated they've been raised with this with state tv they live under radical islam this is michael ellison founder of tributa wellness i want you to hear an amazing testimony from my friend james robinson and most all of you will know of him he and his wife betty host the life today television program now here is

about it as it's happening all right let us listen to the red the rest of this footage from the nova music festival with ron canter then we'll get to some of your calls so in in your view in your view when the terrorists do this and that you know they try to deny the sexual thing but they can't even even the u.n overwhelming evidence even the u.n had to acknowledge yes there was sexual violence against women in light of all this why is it that the whole world is an outrage with khamas the whole world hasn't said you you give back the hostages now why is the main critique of israel well number one is in in uh progressive circles these days if you are perceived to be oppressed then you are right in whatever you do i saw one post that said rape is resistance in other words all anything you do if you're oppressed whether it's murder rape whatever it's okay testifying that's in the natural but then in the spiritual understand that the the jewish people are god's chosen nation we have to be here at the coming of the lord yeah this nation must be here zechariah 14 he comes back to the mount of olives and so satan's mission since apraham has been to wipe out the jewish people that's why it's not just today 53 attempted genocides without history so when god says about israel beni bakari israel israel is my son my first born so the moment he marks israel for a purpose right of service in the world to make god known bring them aside to the moment he marks them satan marks them right wants to destroy him and then when he promises the land satan wants to keep him out of the land yeshua is coming back to a jewish jerusalem keep Jerusalem out of jewish hands right and then by all means keep jews away from yeshua to to deny that this whole thing is satanic is to deny reality it's to be irrational isn't right right right so how is israel feeling right now just yesterday 150 missiles from hezbollah in the north 170 170 okay first 100 150 170 and how many tens of thousands have been evacuated about 80 000 in the north and about 80 000 down here in gaza right right so this is just ongoing obviously people weary but the fight for the hostages every day what's the the psyche of israel the mood in this country is that we are broken if i didn't have yeshua if i didn't wake up every day and remember what i believe who he is him inside of me i i would be utterly hopeless and that's most of the country we had some good news on on shabbat my wife and i were coming home from our weekly congregational service and we stop in a cafe we have no idea what's happened and these two women we're sitting at the bar eating at the bar and these two women sit next to us and we could see something's going on and we started and they tell us they said my best friend her son just got rescued and we're on our way to the hospital so the whole nation for one day for one day there was a sense of release and joy and happiness at four four out of over 100 and one the one lady the one young lady that the whole world knew because there's yes footage right so her boyfriend is separated and then they're putting on a motorcycle and she's saying please don't kill me with terror so everyone when you saw that face it's like right you know that it you could relate much more yes and so for one day there was just this sense of of peace victory joy but then the next day you know two days later 170 missiles from hezbollah we're fighting a two-front war you hear about hamas but hezbollah is alive and well far better equipped than hamas so for the most part israelis are living with a daily hopelessness yeah so for for followers of jesus followers of yeshua who will watch this interview who will hear this interview what can they do what should they do what should their posture be we grieve over the death of palestinians you are very strong critic of the current government so it's not like whatever israel does we just sanction blindly but we know we're we know satan is trying to wipe the jewish people out we know that hamas hezbollah these are satanic entities these these terrorists need the radical transformation of god and there needs to be justice to stop their activity what can believers do what should they do let me just say two things number one is prayer we need prayer intercession every day uh it was the jewish people that birthed the ekklesia it was the it was through anna and simian praying hours and hours and hours and they were prototypes of thousands of other jews that were praying for the coming of messiah and it's gone to the nations now we need you to pray be that womb of intercession to pray blessing and grace and revival here in israel the other thing is lift up your voice uh if you go online it's it's it's the wild wild west it's very nasty anti-semitism is it's okay now it i see it every some of the most i saw yesterday a fella i think he was in new york uh saying that he wished hitler was still alive to finish the job we're going to finish the job we need you to lift up your voice do not be silent let people know that you stand with israel that you stand with the jewish people you know three days after october 7th so before the fall offensive is in motion muslims in sydney australia at the sydney opera house right chanting gas the jews protesters recently columbia university saying we are all hamas so let's identify one of their professor professors saying he was exhilarated when he saw the famous anti-semite norman finkelstein said yeah that well he thought it was only 50 israelis killed first he was exhilarating the numbers got higher not as exhilarated so this is something very demonic and last thing i'm hearing reports though i've talked to young men who are uh serving in gaza serving in the north at home for a few days going back out that they're finding greater openness than ever among the israelis yeah i've heard just even on the secular realm you you watch tv they're praying the psalms things like that there's a recognition of christian love for israel like the the bulletproof vest that you're distributing god tv by yeah other christian ministries one fellow said to me that a guy said are you christian yes are you evangelical yes he said thank the evangelicals so is this a time of spiritual openness in the midst of the pain well i don't i don't want to exaggerate um whenever things like this happen go back to 9 11 there is an initial first nationwide unity yeah that's already gone right um certainly when you you face death in the eyes so many israelis died uh you begin to think about eternity i wouldn't call it a move of god i wouldn't call it revival but i would there's openness i've heard reports too of of believing soldiers a thousand soldiers are messianic and sharing with other soldiers one guy coming home and grabbing a bunch of books before going back because he's getting so many questions uh but but we need more we need more prayer we need god to show up yeah may god bring revival to the to the people of gaza may their eyes be open to the murderous regime they're under and the the deadly religion of radical islam may may god bring good out of this terrible terrible loss of life our friends that was recorded back in june and at certain level things have only intensified since now with the war on different fronts of course israel has successfully decimated the leadership of hezbollah you say well mike brown your father jesus how do you feel about that i'm glad when terrorists or murderers mass rapists whatever they are in any part of the world i'm glad when wicked people are stopped from doing more wickedness when hitler was killed or committed suicide when the nazis were stopped that was a good thing at the same time i grieve that human beings created an image of god for whom jesus yeshua died and who could have had a very different destiny a very different life died in their sin and are lost under the judgment of god i'm glad that it happened i'm glad that judgment came either through the hand of man or through the hand of god i'm glad they can no longer carry out their murderous acts that's good news and that's why they're singing and rejoicing in scripture when the wicked are taken down the righteous rejoice i still grieve for people created in god's image whose lives were used as tools of the devil and in many cases they leave behind family wives children that are not just without husbands in most cases that would be the situation or a brother is now taken away they leave families behind often this only further radicalizes the families so i don't just sit around and laugh ha ha ha all these terrorists are going down i'm glad that the world potentially could be a safer place but i recognize without god's intervention that this evil will only continue your prayers are more powerful than you realize pray for god's merciful intervention in israel and the middle east and for the hearts of jews and muslims throughout the land and the surrounding regions to turn to him this is also a great time to stand with our ministry because we are involved on many fronts on the front lines standing against

tennis elbow that i could hardly reach over and pick up the phone without pain without it hurting me i couldn't pick up something to drink a glass of tea or anything it was very difficult to do anything without wearing a tight strap and then michael shared the nopal cactus juice with me nopalaya i began drinking about that much in the morning in the glass and that much later in the day and in three months i was a different person i have now gone more than 10 years with no pain not better well i have no joint pain i am telling you it did something to the inflammation in my body that was undeniable now that's just my testimony but that's been more than 10 years with no pain matter of fact if i miss for some foolish reason a few days i can feel it creeping back that fast so give it a try see if it helps relieve your pain i hope it does like it has mine because it worked for me nopalaya is supported by clinical studies for lowering inflammation and improving mobility flexibility

866-34 truth here again is dr michael brown all right i've been promising to get to the calls and do that momentarily and i just want to say this first when people say well israel's committing genocide bear in mind that israel's been accused of committing genocide for decades decades now so here are the facts just the facts there were roughly 200,000 arabs who stayed in israel after the founding of the state did not leave because of the war they are today over 2 million there's an increase of tenfold thousand percent the so-called genocide you say no no no i'm talking about the palestinians in the west bank and gaza okay west bank so judea samaria occupied by israel after the 1967 six-day war their population then was roughly 600,000 today it's roughly 2.5 million increase of more than 400 percent well no it's genocide in gaza okay when israel pulled out of gaza unilaterally in 2005 the population there was roughly 1.4 million today it's 2.1 million well 40,000 palestinians killed the day after october 7th when i was preaching in texas and and asking the congregation to share god's heart with paying for israel i said pray for the palestinians as well because more palestinians will die in this war than israelis it's a given because hamas is embedded intentionally in civilian civilian areas as is hezbollah and lebanon and the more civilians that die the better pr for hamas for hezbollah and i've seen national leaders say speaking of gaza we're a nation of martyrs if a million or two million die in the war it's okay why because we're a nation of martyrs and this just makes israel look worse yes a very sick ungodly mentality even so using the hamas numbers are roughly 40,000 killed because they're the ones reporting the numbers hamas controls the information of gaza even if that's true israel sends out every kind of warning it can in advance leaflets calls leave this area before when it's arafa it successfully moved one million people out of the way before coming in to invade the south so the initial bombardment yes many civilian casualties israel regrets it and launches investigations into where soldiers did wrong remember israel accidentally killed three of its own hostages who had escaped that's how difficult it is to figure out what's going on there and maybe 20 percent or more of israeli fatalities in gaza are friendly fire that's how difficult it is to it to engage there if their own people are unintentionally getting killed yes camas embedded in the midst of civilians other civilians going to be killed but even with those numbers aside from those that just die naturally by natural cause over the the course of a year because that's all included in the numbers camas doesn't tell you that roughly half of those people 20 000 were hamas terrorists who were killed which means civilian to terrorist is one-to-one which is an unheard of correspondence in the world normally civilian fatalities are three four or five times higher than soldier fatalities so much for the genocide charge do i care about the death of palestinians of course is this real to me is the death of israelis i see the pictures of israelis i read the stories that's more real to me to be honest just like if you know the people in gaza that's going to be more real to you but are they equally grievous in god's eyes yes the death of the palestinian child just as grievous as the death of an israeli child yes but the difference of the one hand hand is that hamas is slaughtering as many innocent israelis as possible and israel is trying to preserve the lives of as many innocent civilians in gaza and lebanon as possible all right well let's we mentioned sydney earlier let's go over to sydney john thanks so much for holding welcome to the line of fire are you there john are you there if so i can't hear john okay one more time are you there but guess not okay not not sure what happened there oh okay okay not even sure there we go okay just trying to having a problem on my own board here all right there we go no more sorry i guess john couldn't hold through the show one of these days of of tech surprises uh let me play one other piece of footage for you this is a shorter one this is ron cantor and i let me try to paint the picture for those listening on radio or on podcast there is a large field and it just has cars stacked up burnt burnt to a crisp others lined up on the ground like at a car dealership except they're they're burned they're they're bullet ridden and then you have some vehicles like pickup trucks and things like that with uh with guns on the back you know the machine gun set where they could they could be firing those were similar hamas vehicles but almost everything there these these are vehicles of israelis that were hit with rpgs that exploded and people burned alive ambulance just it's i mean it's mangled just horrific um tell you what before we go to that clip let's see if we can try to reconnect with john all right john one more time are you there sir hello hello hello yes go ahead sir go ahead hello yes go ahead please go ahead and speak sir okay not your fault obviously there is a technical issue we were wrestling with them right before radio hey one thing is when we do our switch with pre-recorded radio and then live streams some of the technical challenges will go away of coordinating all these different things at the same time john my profound apologies we're unable to hear well you can hear us but you can't hear me so my apologies maybe you could send your question in via the website thelineoffire.org click contact and ask if it could be addressed on the air thelineoffire.org click contact okay let's go over to that footage and again trying to paint the picture for you if you're watching on youtube and facebook you'll see it but everyone else will hear the narrative again filmed in june with ron canter all right so what what are we looking at here these are all the cars that were torched behind us on october the 7th hundreds and hundreds of them most of the time people were inside they were hit with rpgs completely burned alive over there there is an ambulance there were 13 people in that ambulance and uh we took we talked to her mother because she goes to the nova super rave concert area every day and talks to groups and she said the only way they recognized her daughter was from three teeth that they found dna so and then burned alive yeah and then over here we see there's many of the hamas motorcycles that were in the video and you can see bullet holes and all these heart and goes back you know all these it's like a you think you're at a car dealership right rows and rows of cars these are all the cars that were bullet ridden and yeah somebody somebody when i first put this online someone said oh anybody could burn cars so i came back and i got video of all the bullet holes and of course you know they've been cleaned from blood and but these belong to people and uh many people were killed the cars over here people were shot in their cars and of course this azusa right here this is a hamas um that's their vehicle you can see the gun holder on the top there that's where they stood up in the bed and shot people and while this is happening bombs are still coming in while we're talking yeah bombs pouring in from the north and israel waging war israeli soldiers dying in gaza as as the world condemns israel and as the world says this didn't happen yeah there are there are people around the world who say this didn't happen all right so friends that's that's the striking reality for those who just attribute anti-semitism to natural causes no no it's demonic it's demonic it is the world's longest hatred the world's most widespread hatred the world's most irrational hatred and with this intensity centuries and centuries and centuries and centuries in from all fronts from all sides from the left from the right from professing christians to muslims from from all sides from black supremacists and white supremacists the same jew hatred and the same delegitimizing of israel and demonizing of israel this is supernatural it is demonic and it is a reflection friends of satan's hatred of you and me never forget that you see mike you said there was going to be some encouragement the encouragement is god is a redeemer the encouragement is encouragement is that god can bring beauty out of ashes out of ashes the encouragement is god can bring light out of darkness and ultimately as the whole world shakes we could have 20 years of history ahead of us we could have 100 years god knows i don't know anyone date setting everyone's date set up to now if the dates come up to now it's already passed and been wrong it could be 200 years could be five years god knows how much history is ahead of us but for sure when we do read about the end when we read about the end and we read about final shaking around the world world upheaval even outpouring of god's wrath there's one place where there's a promise of deliverance and safety and that's israel that god will deliver his people and that ultimately yeshua himself will come and will fight for his people israel and they will be delivered but friends so much of this will happen through your prayers the people in israel are recognizing the tangible love of christians around the world simply saying we stand with you as you seek to defend yourself against terrorists who want to wipe you out remember hamas hizballah iran hooties none of them none of them want a peaceful two-state solution they want the annihilation of israel we stand with god against those who would destroy israel and the jewish people your prayers you can't resist us
