Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.......A man’s enemies will be the members of his own household.’…Matt 10:35

Just imagine if you have a family member, parent, child, sibling, who suddenly supports Hamas. What would you do? Be prepared if it does happen.

This worldwide support for the Hamas barbarians is unprecedented. So was this attack. It should never have happened given the constant vigilance of Israel in the past. It looks like Satan is orchestrating everything now.

it really cracks me up.
if we look at around 135 AD, we see the Roman Emperor Hadrian.
he not only attacked Jerusalem, and did 20 times the damage that was done in 70 AD, BUT, he also [[BANISHED]] the Jews from Jerusalem and TOOK A PAGAN deity names and Named the Area Palestine. He also, rebuilt the city as Aelia Capitolina (the basis of today's Old City) with pagan shrines and a statue of Jupiter placed over the site of Jesus's crucifixion.



so, theoretically speaking here, we could do like Trump and say, Jerusalem, is the true Capital of Israel...but...say, this was Jerusalem before Roman Emperor Hadrian changed it to Palestine, so, we should technically be able to change it back.

That much isnt required. Imagine a son raised christian, but he has abandoned the faith and refuses to talk to parents or his brothers and sisters. Imagine being told notnto lray standing at your dying grandfathers bed side. Imagine having family given over to the spirit of the age who hates you because you do not affirm their life style.

Remember Jesus did not come to bring peace to the earth


He came primarily to bring salvation, but a sword shall be upon those who reject it.

Isaiah 37:36-38
That night the angel of the LORD went out to the Assyrian camp and killed 185,000 Assyrian soldiers. When the surviving Assyrians woke up the next morning, they found corpses everywhere.....praying to see this happen to Hamas, so GOD gets the glory.

Isa 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

Luk 1:79 To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.

Luk 2:14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.

Act 10:36 The word which God sent unto the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all).

Luk 12:51 Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division:
Luk 12:52 For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.
Luk 12:53 The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.

Jesus did come to bring peace on Earth, but people will be divided because of Him for some will accept Him, and some will reject Him, which causes a clash between them that they will not get along concerning that but so be it for He had to come to bring salvation.

Jesus wants peace between people but knows there will not be peace among people because of Him.

Jesus did not save you and empower you so you could pray imprecatory prayers all day and call down fire from Heaven.

John 4:35
“Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.”

Jesus loved and died for them just like he loved and died for you.

Remember from whence you came.

Romans 3:23
“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;”

In their minds they ARE ministering PEACE, which will be fully realized when the entire world is ISLAMIC. If they have to murder everybody that opposes them, that would be O.K.

Nothing more that satanic RELIGION at it's best.

Christianity-so-called has been used as a tool of destruction in past as well, with the same rationalizations.

Just don't go around playing God yourself, John. Vengeance is His, not yours.


Romans 12:19
“Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.”

Jesus said this not me. HE will cause the division.

Strange huh. Well how many times can a believer walk away leave Christ and yet still be His? Israel. I've listen to those in and born of Israel that now believe in Yeshua say Israel is not following GOD. What do you think about the USA a Christian nation that follows Christ? Israel supports all kind of GAY this GAY that and kill unborn babies. So they left Him they rejected their messiah but He never left them.

So this war some just jump on the boat and GOD is with them! Yeah a truth yet not. Israel has been in many wars where GOD was not with them. So lets not say GOD is now with them. What happened to them...I got on my knees yesterday the moment I started to think and just thanked Him. I don't know what its like to have everyone around you that HATES YOU.. they want you dead. Every moment of your life they want you dead. So I know Israel (not all in Israel) are not following or love Him yet.. oh I can not praise Him enough for never ever forsaking them! He will keep His promises to them and I pray for them as I do for every other nation.

But if we believe the word of God the worst for Israel is yet to come. That one it will look as if there is no hope for them and then HE STANDS! And HE DELIEVERS THEM! They see they know HE did it!

Support Hamas.. you might want to define that word for those that don't know the true meaning. I just hurt for those with in Hamas that don't support that.. are against it yet could never say a word and have to suffer.

Who supports hamas?
I support neither Muslim nor talmudist. Their leaders hate the people and choose to fight rather than work out a solution. So they kill the young men in their evil killing fields, makeing children into orphans and women into widows.

"and say, ‘I will go up against the land of unwalled villages. I will fall upon the quiet people who dwell securely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having no bars or gates,’ " Ezekiel 38:11

If this war ends with Hamas and the Hezbollah taken out,, Israel could be in peace. This could lead to Ezekiel 38
