Psalm 2:1-6 says, "Why do the nations rage, and the people plot a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together against the Lord and against His anointed, saying, 'let us break Their bonds in pieces and cast away Their cords from us."' "He who sits in the heavens shall laugh; the Lord shall hold them in derision. Then He shall speak to them in His wrath, and distress them in His deep displeasure: Yet I have set My King on My holy hill of Zion."
A message about nations raging and how the Israeli Defense Forces are responding is appropriate at this time. The events of October 7th have caused "The Nations To Rage." A good example was the thousands of demonstrators in New York City during the holidays and this could have been happening around the world!
How did the Israeli Defense Forces respond then and how are they responding today? First, please understand that almost every person in Israel, male and female, serve in the Israeli Defense Forces. Those not serving do whatever they can to support their military with great pride. There is a belief that the Israeli Defense Forces are the most efficient in the world.
A perfect example illustrates the IDF currently is dropping notes from airplanes announcing they are searching for and destroying Hamas in Northern Gaza. As a result, they give the citizens in Gaza a chance to go to Southern Gaza away from the conflict. Currently, the IDF has control of Northern Gaza but needs our continuing prayers.
Blessings,
