Almost everyday in the news we hear of military threats to destroy Israel from countries on its borders and those close by such as Iran. Additionally, there is always threats from terror groups such as Hamas and Hezbollah. In fact, Psalm 83 describes the enemies of Israel saying in verse 4 "They have said, come and let us cut them off from being a nation, that the name of Israel may be remembered no more."
Now we learn there are additional threats to Israel which we could call or title "non-military threats." For example, the Council of Europe consisting of 47 countries to oversee The European Court of Human Rights just met and brought forth a motion. This motion exclaimed that Israel must stop any new or existing construction in the settlements of Judea and Samaria.
Maybe I am missing something here but what gives this Council the right to demand Israel stop construction on its own God-given land? Genesis 15:18. Israel's government reacted in a similar manner. Deputy Defense Minister Danon responded at an awards ceremony "I will not institute a construction freeze."
Another non-military threat to Israel is referred to as Cyber attacks. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu said recently "Iran has recently increased Cyber attacks on Israel to also include attacks through their proxies Hamas and Hezbollah. These attacks are against our infrastructure but also against economic and civilian targets."
We need to expand our prayers for Israel to ask God's hand of protection over these additional unique attacks. Psalm 91:1, 2, and 11 state "He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of The Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in Him I will trust. For He shall give His angels charge over you, to keep you in all your ways."
May The Lord Bless You And Keep You In His Care This Day And Each Day,
