The Gaza Strip

[JimmieD]

The Lord predicted through the prophet Amos that He would “send fire upon the walls of Gaza, and it will consume her citadels” (1:6-8). The other pagan Canaanite/Philistine cities up the coast, Ashdod, Ashkelon, and Ekron, would be “cut off” and “the remnant of the Philistines will perish.” In future prophecy, during the period of the tribulation, God will bring judgment upon the nations surrounding Israel who have persecuted her.

Amos is talking specifically about the Northern Kingdom of Israel, whose capital was Samaria. Amos wasn't talking about modern day events.

1:1 The following is a record of what Amos prophesied.[SUP] [/SUP]He[SUP] [/SUP]was one of the herdsmen from Tekoa. These prophecies about Israel were revealed to him[SUP] [/SUP]during the time of[SUP] [/SUP]King Uzziah of Judah and[SUP] [/SUP]King Jeroboam son of Joash of Israel​

He even gives specific names of historical rulers and locations who would be the object of judgment:

1:4 So I will set Hazael’s house[SUP] [/SUP]on fire;
fire[SUP] [/SUP]will consume Ben Hadad’s[SUP] [/SUP]fortresses.

What I am going to offer is a concept that is world wide, and also in the community and in some cases, even within the confines of a family.

The reason people hate Christians and Jews (plus their ways) is because of God Almighty. That doesn't make God wrong, it just shows the division that is in existence before it is revealed. The reason the radical Muslims hate the Jews and Christians is because of what God has done.

Cain hated Abel because God accepted Abel's offering instead of his. Ham disrespected Noah, and was the forefather of Canaan, and Canaan-land was conquered according to God's will. Esau hated Jacob (for a time) because Jacob was chosen by God instead. And on it Goes. Even many people in the United States say that Israel doesn't belong in the land because it was never their's to begin with, failing to understand that God gave it to them.

Written by Daniel Meyoseff an Israeli who's friend was an Israeli soldier killed in the line of duty last week while defending Israel from Hamas. : “A day of the Lord is coming, Jerusalem, when your possessions will be plundered and divided up within your very walls. I will gather all the nations to Jerusalem to fight against it; the city will be captured, the houses ransacked, and the women raped. Half of the city will go into exile, but the rest of the people will not be taken from the city. Then the Lord will go out and fight against those nations, as he fights on a day of battle. On that day his feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, east of Jerusalem,…Then the Lord my God will come, and all the holy ones with him.” (Zechariah 14:1-5)

Pray on this: Father, help us to take the Word of God as your last word on any subject. Deliver us from taking the word of the political elites and a final word and make our plans and act accordingly. Give us, by your Holy Spirit, your wisdom and discernment in the age of prevailing deception. In Jesus’ name, AMEN!

It's contradictory to what He promised in Deuteronomy 28:1-14 if the Israelites were obedient to the Holy One.
What does it tell us?
And the Word warned in Matthew 24:15-35...
And the revelation in Revelation 12:13-17...
Is it really the time?
It would be an honor to participate.
Lord, Lord, do you know me? Do I know you?
