Did you see what happened in Israel? Hamas attacked Israel, 1200 people were murdered, thousands wounded, and hundreds were kidnapped. Most of the victims were unarmed men, women, children, and the elderly. They weren’t collateral damage from a military battle but were selected to maximize casualties and fear. Doesn’t that sound like “the thief” who “cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy” (John 10:10 KJV). Did you sound the alarm?
These terrorists, who have support of most of the Palestinian people, escaped to Gaza, where they operated from under hospitals, fired rocket from Mosques and hospitals, and hid amongst civilians, to protect themselves. They continued firing rockets, which killed many of the civilians they surrounded themselves with. The media reported dubious accounts of casualties from Israeli attacks as fact, some continued even after Israel proved them wrong. Muslim countries claim it’s genocide, as world governments call for a cease fire. The Bible says, “Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter” (Isa 5:20 KJV)! Did you speak up for Israel?
Surely, we (US) responded better, Israel has been our faithful ally, and our country was founded on Judeo-Christian values! What about our government? Our leaders have hindered Israel rather than fully support them. We initially called for a cease fire and Hamas was given more time to dig-in while we talked about peace. But our people will rise and demand we back Israel! No, anti-Semitic rhetoric has spread across the nation, Jews were attacked, and violent protests threatened anyone who didn’t enthusiastically support the Palestinian people. Little was said about the slaughtered Israelis or Hamas’s crimes and atrocities. It is plain to see that the blind are being led by the blind and they will end up in the ditch (Mat 15:14). Are you also following the blind? If not, you should sound the alarm, before it’s too late!
Because of what is happening, some people are realizing the threat we let into our country, in the name of compassion. Many of the protestors who are spewing hatred and calling to wipe out Israel were welcomed in as students or immigrants. American Jewish people who have long supported liberal politicians, causes, and colleges have been abandoned in favor of radical Muslims and are rethinking their financial support. Did you remind people that GOD said, “I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee” (Gen 12:3 KJV)? Why not?
That’s not my job! JESUS commanded you to “love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind” and “love thy neighbour as thyself” (Mat 22:37 and 39 KJV), so it is your job! You are the Watchman and “if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned…his blood will I require at the watchman’s hand” (Eze 33:6 KJV) so keep watching and sound the alarm!
