Excerpts from Article:

THE WAR BETWEEN ISRAEL AND HAMAS IS NOT LIKE ANY OTHER

Those who don’t understand or believe God’s promises to Israel might think that the expanding conflict in the Middle East is just like any other war, such as the one in Ukraine. “Yes, the savagery of the Iran proxy Hamas was grievous and heart-wrenching,” someone might say, “but the resulting war has no ramification for believers today.” Such sentiment couldn’t be further from the truth. This war is not like the others.
The prophetic implications of what’s now happening to Israel are staggering. We also know that this is just the beginning of Israel’s struggle for survival, which will likely last until the start of the seven-year tribulation and then flareup again at its midpoint as Satan renews his hatred for the Jewish people with the deadly rage of antichrist.

Satan inspired the barbaric attacks of October 7, 2023, as a part of his agenda to prevent Jesus from returning to a repentant Israel at His Second Coming. Jesus said the Jewish community in Jerusalem would someday welcome Him with the words, “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord” (Matthew 23:39). The devil will fail, of course, in his effort to stop the fulfillment of our Lord’s words, but that won’t stop him from attempting to stop his millennial reign over a fully restored Israel.

This isn’t just another war. It not only has tremendous prophetic significance, but also warns us of what might happen in many other places, including the U.S. IDF Spokesperson Daniel Hagari recently stated that “Hamas is at war against humanity, not just Israel.”[ii]
