In recent days Israel has exchanged rocket fire with the terrorist group Hamas, assassinating a high ranking Hamas official. Reports tonight show that Hamas has fired on the Israeli capital of Tel Aviv.
In response Israel has begun to move troops to the Israeli-Gaza boarder. Fox News Channel just reported that Israel may be planning a ground excursion into Gaza. Israel has begun to activate reserve troops.
This is a serious situation that will only become more so in the days ahead. Here are a few things to watch.
1. Hamas is supported by Iran and Syria. Will this conflict escalate to directly involve both nations and not just their proxies in Hamas?
2. If Syria does become involved, is this the war that will lead to the fulfillment of Isaiah 17 and the destruction of Damascus?
3. How will this affect the possibility of Israel launching a preemptive strike on Iran?
4. How will the United States respond to the conflict? Will President Obama, no longer burdened by the need to be reelected, stand beside Israel and support Israel?
5. Will we now see the dominoes begin to fall in the Middle East leading to Gog-Magog, Psalm 83, and/or Isaiah 17? Where and how far will this go?
As Christians lets all make sure we are praying for the following:
1. The peace of Jerusalem
2. Protection for the people of Israel
3. Wisdom for Benjamin Netanyahu and the IDF leadership
4. The leadership of the United States to stand beside Israel
