If you have not seen the headlines, Israel is at war:
“Hamas militants fired thousands of rockets and sent dozens of fighters into Israeli towns near the Gaza Strip in an unprecedented surprise early morning attack during a major Jewish holiday Saturday, killing dozens and stunning the country. Israel said it is now at war with Hamas and launched airstrikes in Gaza, vowing to inflict an “unprecedented price.”” -AP News
This unprecedented attack on Israel is a point of no return. Hamas would never have done this unless they first decided that it was now or never. They have cast all reason to the wind.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu wasted no time in saying, “We are at war” and promised that “the enemy will pay unprecedented price,” after he convened an emergency meeting of security officials, while Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant approved the mobilization of reservists.
The Israeli counter attack will be the largest display of firepower in their history.
Is this the start of World War III? This much is certain: the most chilling word that Netanyahu used was “unprecedented.” Signaling to us all that the Israeli counter attack will be the largest display of firepower in their history.
Netanyahu will not wait for the limp advice of our corrupt leaders in Washington. He will act for Israel. He knows that he cannot trust the American government. And Trump just cited the biggest reason why: Trump today reminded us that American dollars sent by Democrat leaders helped to buy the weapons that Hamas is using to kill Jews. Did you ever think you would live to hear such a thing?
We can also be sure that if ‘you-know-who’ was still in the White House, Hamas would never have tried this. Which brings me to a key point.
As surely as China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea are existential threats to world peace, the central danger lies somewhere else. The central danger of the world is the moral condition of the United States.
If you want to know where the fuse to world war is located, look no further than America.
If you want to know where the fuse to world war is located, look no further than America. A nation that once honored God now shakes their perverted fist at Him. Freedom’s last firewall is honoring evil.
America decides her own fate. This has always been, and will always be true.
Abraham Lincoln said, “Shall we expect some transatlantic military giant to step the ocean and crush us at a blow? Never! All the armies of Europe, Asia, and Africa combined, with all the treasure of the earth (our own excepted) in their military chest, with a Bonaparte for a commander, could not by force take a drink from the Ohio or make a track on the Blue Ridge in a trial of a thousand years. At what point then is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer. If it ever reaches us it must spring up amongst us; it cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen we must live through all time or die by suicide.”
We are nearer to national suicide now than we have ever been. Only this time, if it happens, we will take the whole world down with us.
They sense we are causing this storm.
Millions around the world hate us because they intuitively understand that we are backslidden. They discern that we have traded untold riches for unspeakable garbage. They sense we are causing this storm.
That is what the pagan seamen thought about Jonah. When he told them he was a backslidden prophet, they asked the burning question:
“Then the men were exceedingly afraid, and said to him, ‘Why have you done this?’ For the men knew that he fled from the presence of the Lord, because he had told them” (Jonah 1:10).
The decision about World War III will not be made in the Middle East, but from the prayer closets of America.
American leaders are too busy bending gender to straighten out the world crisis. American pulpits are too busy appeasing artificial faith to build God’s prayer army.
Every day that we delay national repentance raises the stakes higher. This attack on Israel puts our leaders into a new light. Politicians are no longer just crooks, they are warmongers. Lukewarm preachers are no longer just compromised, they are a distraction from deliverance.
The decision about World War III will not be made in the Middle East, but from the prayer closets of America.
Is this the start of World War III? Not if America repents. The phrase on our lips today should not be, “If war comes” but, “If my people…”
