You are absolutely correct. And when they put their trust in God to go before them, as in the past, they will glorify the One True God before the whole world as never before.
Thinking about you all.
Thanks I appreciate that..these soldiers, like our military, give their lives for their country and they do so bravely..I don’t want these soldiers to have died in vain..they have to destroy Hamas no matter what the Jew haters say..they destroy Hamas, and they can live in peace and safety, if they don’t, Hamas would have won
Whenever I hear anyone talk about a soldier dying in vain, I have to respond. You see, like God, I view war and peace in its world history context and I have come to an understanding of how He views our individual lives within that context. There is no greater love than this, that a man should lay down his life for his friend.
People capable of love, will love those next to them in war. Everything from the time Adam and Eve bit the apple, was planned to reconcile man with God. He misses being with us. But His plan has to be executed perfectly and it will be. If there are those called to fight against evil who are killed doing so, they have not fought in vain even if the war is lost (so to speak). You see, I view each of man’s wars as a battle in the war against evil.
That war is coming to a head. It will look like the enemy is winning, but they have already lost and they know it, so they do as much damage as possible while they have time. Kind of like a president out to destroy a Republic within an 8 year time span.
God has chosen Israel because of their tenacity, and their sense of humor, both characteristics of their God. What nation could survive without either? When Israel as a nation cries out to God, He will answer and it will be wondrous to behold. Zechariah is a wonderful, though tense, book.
Israel as a nation will repent, basically. That is basically what God is waiting for and why he protects it?
Yes. Acknowledging Him instead of denying Him.
