The Gospel response to the Israel–Hamas war.

from True North Church

In this exegesis we draw from the text how we should respond to all that we see going on in Israel and around the world and even in our very backyard.🔥 When war occurs, people panic!That has always been true, and it was certainly true in Jesus' day. Jesus said that These things will happen in our world throughout our fallen history.Unfortunately war is a very prevalent problem with the human condition. As sad and horrific as war is, we must know that it is not the cause or determinant of the end of the world. Naturally, its hard to understand how God could allow such atrocities as slavery, WW1&2 the Holocaust, & every war that has happened before and after into His plan. What we do know is -that through World War II resulted in the re-formation of the nation of Israel, and The existence of Israel is crucial to prophecy; the Antichrist will be definitively identified when he brokers peace between Israel and their enemies (Daniel 9:24–27).💡From our human nature we are violent and cruel to each other.therefore wars are on us!James 4:1-4 James informs us that the heart of all wars the selfish and greedy desires and agendas that both sides host within themselves!! Ooofff!!! James even goes to say in the mirror translation that “ we allow our heart to become so consumed with longing for something until we are ready to kill for it. And even then we are still not satisfied.”🔥From our human nature we are violent and cruel to each other but it is God's nature to provide opportunity for our redemption. And He does this despite our sinfulness and even through our own sinfulness. Just as it was our cruelty that crucified Jesus, it will be human cruelty that will prepare the world for Jesus' return.
