Zechariah 9 (~ 520bc)

…Gaza also shall be very sorrowful;
And Ekron, for He dried up her expectation.
The king shall perish from Gaza,
And Ashkelon shall not be inhabited.

Sinwar dead?

Take some time to read Esther chapter 8.

When Haman, the plotter against the Jews, was killed and the plot to kill them was thwarted -

“The Jews had light and gladness, joy and honor. And in every province and city, wherever the king’s command and decree came, the Jews had joy and gladness, a feast and a holiday.”

Do you know what the king’s command and decree included?

“the king permitted the Jews who were in every city to gather together and protect their lives—to destroy, kill, and annihilate all the forces of any people or province that would assault them, both little children and women, and to plunder their possessions, on one day in all the provinces of King Ahasuerus, on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month of Adar. A copy of the document was to be issued as a decree in every province and published for all people, so that the Jews would be ready on that day to avenge themselves on their enemies.”

We have been weeping every day for over a year.

It’s ok to rejoice when the devil’s messenger to annihilate your people is gone!

To love your enemy is not to cry and mourn when the man who ordered the r*pe, burning alive and execution of thousands and kidnapping of hundreds has finally met his death!

Even if Sinwar would’ve repented and accepted Christ - he would’ve still had to be executed

His eternal life/eternal death is about his repentance or the lack thereof.

Justice for what he has done while being alive here - has to be served!

Zechariah 9

3 For Tyre built herself a tower, Heaped up silver like the dust, And gold like the mire of the streets.
4 Behold, the Lord will cast her out; He will destroy her power in the sea, And she will be devoured by fire.

Nearly seven years ago, a video with fairly low circulation highlighted to me the difference between watching for a date and watching for an event. Whilst the speaker on the film is a bit unclear of the origin of the Palestinian people, he does talk a lot of sense. It would seem much has changed in the world in the last seven years, to the degree that such an event could be round the corner or on tomorrows news…


E.g.


“The War of Revival”


A Call to Repentance ~ Hosea 6

1Come, and let us return to the Lord;
For He has torn, but He will heal us;
He has stricken, but He will [a]bind us up.
2After two days He will revive us;
On the third day He will raise us up,
That we may live in His sight.

3Let us know,
Let us pursue the knowledge of the Lord.
His going forth is established as the morning;
He will come to us like the rain,
Like the latter and former rain to the earth.

Netanyahu: IDF will settle accounts with those who harm hostages, provide safe passage for intel

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed on Tuesday to hunt down terrorists who hurt hostages being held in the Gaza Strip, speaking during a visit to the Netzarim Corridor that splits the coastal enclave between north and south.

“To those who are holding our hostages: Whoever dares to harm our captives—his blood is on his own head. We will pursue you, and we will get you,” warned the Israeli leader in a video in Hebrew recorded on Gaza’s beach alongside the Mediterranean Sea.

At the same time, “whoever brings us a hostage will be given a safe way, for him and his family, to leave. We will also give a reward of $5 million for each kidnapped person. You choose—the choice is yours—but the result will be the same. We will return everyone,” he added.

If Hamas released the hostages it'd be a big step towards ending the war.
Unless the hostages are already dead..
