Gaza’s Hamas leader, Yahya Sinwar, is the key to understanding the Gaza war. Here is my summary. He was convicted of murder in 1988 and was serving four life sentences in Israeli prison. Sinwar, now 61, was released in 2011 in a prisoner deal where Israel released 1,026 terrorists for ONE Israeli soldier, Gilad Shalit. This shows two things. Israel values human life; and that exchanging terrorist murders for hostages will come back to bite you. The title “Sin-war!” indicates the evil sin of the October 7 massacre that provoke the Gaza war using a play on words with the perpetrator, Yahya Sinwar.
Yahya Sinwar: the man who may hold key to release of Gaza hostages – Man described by Israel as architect of the 7 October attacks is now perhaps the most powerful figure in Hamas. Israeli officials have described him as the architect of the 7 October attacks, which killed 1,200, mostly civilians, and so “a dead man walking”.
Yahya Sinwar, Hamas leader – He was convicted for the murder of Palestinians accused of collaborating with Israel and was sentenced to four life sentences in prison.
Gaza’s humanitarian crisis: Yahya Sinwar sets up a trap for Israel – Hamas’s leader in Gaza, Yahya Sinwar, is betting on international authorities forcefully stopping the IDF’s invasion of Gaza in its tracks.
Hamas: ‘The Israelis are right where we want them’ – Hamas leader in Gaza sending optimistic messages to terror group’s fighters on the ground.
Israel estimates: Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar hiding in Gaza – In Israel’s estimation, Hamas leader Yahya SInwar still hiding in tunnels beneath Khan Yunis, but killing him risks lives of ‘human shields’ hostages.
When Yehovah allows enemies to come against His people it is usually because of sin in the camp. The only course for us is repentance. God protects us when we follow Him. When we pray for Israel we need also pray for ourselves and our nation. This is needed for the whole world.
“Then they cried out to Yehovah, and said, ‘We have sinned, because we have forsaken Yehovah and served the Baals and Ashtoreths; but now deliver us from the hand of our enemies, and we will serve You.’” 1 Samuel 12:10
“Cause me to hear Your lovingkindness in the morning, For in You do I trust; Cause me to know the way in which I should walk, For I lift up my soul to You. Deliver me, O Yehovah, from my enemies; In You I take shelter. Teach me to do Your will, For You are my God; Your Spirit is good. Lead me in the land of uprightness. REVIVE ME, O Yehovah, for Your name’s sake! For Your righteousness’ sake bring my soul out of trouble. In Your mercy cut off my enemies, and destroy all those who afflict my soul; For I am Your servant.” Psalm 143:8-12
Revival means we have passed out and need CPR to revive us! That is our condition without Jesus. REVIVE ME, and REVIVE ISRAEL! That is our prayer today.
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem, protection for the troops, wisdom for the leaders, and rain for the land.
