Gaza Again?

This is the title of an article in the Bridges For Peace website this week. The article's first sentence states, "Gaza is ramping up for another war with Israel and openly says so." Our message today will revolve around this startling declaration and its possible prophetic implications.

Israel believes Hamas has as many tunnels now as it had at the start of the war in 2014. It is believed Hamas has spent $140,000,000. per year in preparation for the next war with Israel. Last week, seven Hamas members were killed in tunnels that collapsed from heavy rain in Israel. 

Hamas leader Ismael Haniyeh said at the funeral, "We are preparing for a confrontation with the Zionist enemy. Heroes underground are digging into rock building tunnels and experimenting with rockets everyday for the liberation of Palestine and Jerusalem." Israeli families who live near Gaza say the floors of their homes shake as tunnels are being built underneath. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu responded, "If we are attacked from tunnels in the Gaza Strip and Israel, we will take very strong action."  

Prophetically, what does all this mean? Israel is already threatened in the North by Syria and Lebanon plus the threat of ISIS in the Sinai. End times Biblical scholars seem to disagree as to whether Israel will be involved in three or four wars before the King Of Kings and Lord Of Lords returns to earth to rule and reign over all nations. {Revelation 20:4,6} Either way, with Israel threatened on almost all of its borders, what is referred to as the Psalm 83 War or the Inner Circle of Enemies War appears close at hand.

Revelation 6:9-11 say, "When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain because of the word of God and the testimony they had maintained. They called out in a loud voice, 'how long, Sovereign Lord, holy and true, until you judge the inhabitants of the earth and avenge our blood?' They were told to wait a little longer." Our prayers for Israel and the unsaved need to continue in earnest a little while longer.

May The Lord Bless You And Keep You This Day And Each Day,
