Hi everyone
I am surprised that no one has posted yet about the War between Hamas and Israel, it’s not surprising but still it’s terrible for all the innocent people being killed over religion, hate and politics. I hope it’s not going to go on to long or that Iran won’t get involved.

I mean... it's not like this is a new war/conflict, dear Zoe (peace to you, dear sister!). but merely a continuation of many:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_wars_involving_Israel

The war between the Arabs and Jews is NOT about religion and it never has been. It's about... and has always been about... land (the same as the war in Ukraine which I find interesting that is not of concern). The conflict started in 1947 and was created by "christians":

You do state:



And there is the rub: unless and until Iran IS involved (and Israel keeps trying to involve it), this is, for me, just another fulfillment of Matthew 24:6; Mark 13:7; and Luke 21:9, and for which I intend to follow the Master's instructions:

"Do not be alarmed/frightened; these things must happen first, the end is still to come/will not come right away."

Even if Iran does become involved, indeed, if things begin to greatly heat up... what can we do? What can anyone do? It would be the fulfillment of prophecy and, therefore, nothing to be done except (for us) to put faith in and keep ears "open" and eyes upon the Master? Hopefully, that is what WE all will (be able to) do. Matthew 6:34; 10:19; Mark 13:11; Luke 12:11; Philippians 4:5-7

Because it would certainly be foolish (and dangerous) to think that just because we might "think" we know where things are in a timeline, such knowledge will save us in the end. The truth is if one hasn't already turned to, began listening to, following, and obeying the Son by now... discerning that the tribulation is upon us, about to be upon us, in full swing, not yet in sight... what have you... isn't going to matter. One might be able to fool another/others... but one cannot fool JaH and Christ (John 2:25). To think otherwise is residual foolery left over from delusions learned and practiced while in the WTBTS - those folks always did and still do serve their god "Jehovah" with dates and times and events in mind, thinking they can pull things together and get their "house" in order at the last moment or at least once they see certain "signs" appear... all the while living a double, even quadruple, "life" in the meantime. Unfortunately, that won't work (Matthew 25:14-30 because the writing has already begun ([b]Malachi 3:16[b]).

So, right now, I am not sure what there is to post about. Anything at this point would be speculation, if not attempts at divination. What will be... and when it will be... will be. I am concentrating on ensuring that me and my household are ready, regardless of the "when," dear one.

May the undeserved kindness and mercy of our God and Father, JaH of Armies, and the love and peace of His Chosen One and Son, our dear, dear Lord, Master, Savior, and King, JaH'eShua, the Holy One of Israel and Holy Spirit... be upon you and your entire household, to time indefinite.

And may ALL those with ears to hear, HEAR, when the Lamb and his Bride say, "Come!"... and do so, without delay.

Your servant, sister, and a slave of Christ,

Thanks for your take on it Shelby, I wasn't worried at all, I was just wondering what you and a few others here thought about it. It makes total sense to me now.

It is interesting what the Law Covenant says to Israel in Leviticus 19:33-34:

“‘When a foreigner resides among you in your land, do not mistreat them. 34 The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the Lord your God."

Ah well. . . .

None so blind, dear Armand (peace to you, dear brother!).

It appears that some are doing their best to involve Iran (peace to you, all!). Not that Iran's hands are clean. But it's going to come down to who strike's who first. A whole lot of dancing around "Iran".

Peace to you all and to your dear households!

Tensions are still rising…..

Iran’s “vowed” response is building….

Peace to you all today ( peace to you dear Shel)

Here's a VERY interesting video (peace to you, all!):

[youtube]https://youtu.be/8Gt_3aZ28qY[/youtube]

https://www.jewishpress.com/multimedia/radio/yishai-fleisher-on-jewishpress/what-it-really-means-trumps-israel-palestine-interview-fact-checked-by-israeli-expert/2024/04/01/

One really should listen to (and consider the implications of and behind!) Yishai Fleisher's ENTIRE commentary and not just Mr. Trump's self-grandizing (even if sometimes valid, at least if one was a Zionist Jew - which is the foundation of the issue) "campaigning" toward Jews. The man is NOT for peace, dear ones, and while he says he is but only after his enemies have been destroyed, he really is not, EVEN if his enemies are destroyed. And it is think kind of thinking that will be a downfall for the Israel of today.

Also, note that at one point Mr. Fleisher states that the world should recognize that the Jews should be in charge of Judea and Samaria and intimates it's a God-given right. Unfortunately, Mr. Fleisher is mistake. While he can argue that Jews should be in charge of Judea (and even that's wrong), the Jews were NEVER given Samaria. Samaria was given to the OTHER 10 tribes, which Jews, unfortunately, do not recognize.

Sigh. Earthling man. Don't even try to go fiture.

All well.

May JaH and Christ bless and keep you ALL and your dear, dear households!

Yikes! Just received this on my news feed: https://www.cnn.com/2024/04/05/politics ... index.html

May JAH bless and His Christ shine upon you.

Peace to you and thank you for sharing that, dear Armand!

While Israel's attack on the Iranian consulate may well have been the preemptory action my dear Lord told me about Iran's multi-missile (~300??) retaliation last night isn't the unleashing of the four winds. That event, while perhaps imminent, is still to come. The article below might be in reference to that:

https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/israels-netanyahu-vows-victory-after-iran-strikes-fears-wider-conflict-grow-2024-04-14/

As the article states of Iran's position:



Why?



Anyone following the events would know that Iran would know that no matter how many missiles (of the type launched) they send to Israel few, if any, would get through Israel's Iron Dome. Even here, the casualties were almost none: an air force base was hit, but no reported injuries, and a 7-year-old girl was injured by shrapnel. No deaths (reported), though. In retaliation for killing 7 top Iranian officials? It was a decoy, a diversion. No country would expend more than 100, 200 missiles, and certainly not 300 or so missiles, and not expect to kill several people, even hundreds.

It was a symbolic attack only.

And note, most of the missiles "came from inside Iran." If they know that, it's unlikely they don't have the means to track their origin location. And if they know the location, any Israeli retaliation would most probably target some if not all of these. But the four winds don't come from inside Iran proper.

Not a time to be sleeping, IMHO. Thing is, however awake one is isn't going to be the issue, is it?

May the undeserved kindness and mercy of my God and Father, JaH Who Breathes (VeH) and the love and peace of His Son, His King, and His Chosen One, my dear, dear Lord, Master, Savior, and King, JaH'eShua, the HOLY Spirit, and Holy One of Israel, be upon you ALL and upon your dear households!

And are there some very important and influential people out there not just HOPING for Israel to strike... but actually trying to entice (Israel) and bait (Iran)? Sure an' you betcha' -

https://thehill.com/policy/international/4593328-u-s-should-proudly-join-israel-if-they-go-after-irans-nuclear-program/

Strap in, dear ones - we may be headed for a VERY bumpy ride albeit not necessarily right away. There may need to be all manner of threats and "pushing"... and then, maybe some "make nice"-ish-ness (1 Thessalonians 5:3). But I don't think the current situation, even if it looks like things are dying down, is going to go away.

And I don't think, given what has been shared with us, that the next clash between the two... and their respective allies... will be anything less than devastating for most of the world.

We shall see.

Peace to you ALL and to your dear, dear households... as our dear Lord, the Holy One of Israel and Holy Spirit, JaH'eShua, the Son of our God and Father, JaH Who Breathes (VeH)... gives it!

Greetings,

Peace to you all today and to you my sister Shel.

Thank you for sharing all the timely articles and news reports!

Definitely a lot going on, a lot of pushing, name calling, and egging on to respond. And protesting getting quite intense!

May JAH and His son our Lord and savior JAHeshua have mercy on us all, may you all be granted their peace, blessings and undeserved kindness for all eternity.

Your fellow sister servant and slave of JAHeshua
