For those of you who may be unaware of recent activities in Israel, let me bring you up to date. Despite a ceasefire agreement made earlier in 2008, the Islamic terrorist organization Hamas has relentlessly been launching rockets into southern Israel from the Gaza strip and increased this activity at the end of last year. Israel has chosen to strike back mightily as any self-respecting democracy should to defend its people and homeland. Interestingly enough a majority of world leaders and news outlets are quick to accuse Israel of using too much force in its defense. Excuse me??? Since when is it wrong to effectively defend your own nation against hostile and dangerous attacks from your enemies? I believe we are seeing the beginning signs of Zechariah's prophecy coming to pass.
“The burden of the word of the LORD for Israel, saith the LORD, which stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him. Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem. And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.” (Zech 12: 1-3)
About 80% of biblical prophecy has already been fulfilled and this particular piece of prophecy has yet to pass. Folks, every day as we spiral more and more into chaos from a world that is running rampant due to its decay in morality and ethics, the headlines and events in our near future are going to read more and more like biblical prophecy because that is what we are seeing. it will continue to get worse before it gets better, and the better is the return of Jesus Christ!
