What part about “never again” do you not understand? This photo is quite interesting with Israeli troops in the foreground and the rainbow in the background. In the middle of the Gaza war there is the promise of peace and hope for a future because God is faithful to keep His word. What is the endgame for God? We know that Israel is set to completely eliminate the terror threat of Hamas. But what comes after? Yehovah God has the final say!
“I will restore the fortunes of my people Israel, and they shall rebuild the ruined cities and inhabit them; they shall plant vineyards and drink their wine, and they shall make gardens and eat their fruit. I will plant them on their land, and they shall never again be uprooted out of the land that I have given them,” says Yehovah your God.” Amos 9:14-15 ESV
“Thus says Yehovah: “The people who survived the sword found grace in the wilderness; when Israel sought for rest, Yehovah appeared to him from far away. I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore I have continued my faithfulness to you. Again I will build you, and you shall be built, O virgin Israel! Again you shall adorn yourself with tambourines and shall go forth in the dance of the merrymakers. Again you shall plant vineyards on the mountains of Samaria; the planters shall plant and shall enjoy the fruit.” Jeremiah 31:2-5 ESV
“He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it.” 1 Thessalonians 5:24
This foundation of faithfulness supports all of God’s promises. It is not just words. It is His character. He is faithful! He not only says it, but He also will do it. Words are cheap, but our God keeps His word even to a thousand generations. Just read the rest of Jeremiah 31 (above). Israel will win this war and every future war because God made certain unconditional promises to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob/Israel which will absolutely be fulfilled to the last detail. Read His promises. Pray the Scriptures. All the demons of hell or Hamas cannot block even one single promise of the living God! Hallelujah!
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem and pray and thank Him for the present rains.

Why do I use God’s literal covenant Name: Yehovah? Here is a link to the explanation in my book: The Hebrew God Who Has No Name. And here is a link to a great visual from my friend Keith Johnson.
Do You Believe the Bible?
4 01 2024This is a shocking headline: “73% Of US Christians Say The Bible Doesn’t Influence Their Views On Israel.” Prophecy News Watch That is why I use the phrase “Bible believing Christians.” If you don’t believe the Bible you are not a believing Christian. You are a cultural or national or ethnic Christian, but not a believer. They have “another gospel” according to the Apostle Paul.
Only 27% of “Christians” in the Lifeway Research survey chose the Bible as an influence of their view of Israel. 56% chose media as there choice. Even worse, only 17% of “Christians” chose the Bible as their primary source. Again, the media was more influential. “Only about a quarter of American Christians say the Bible influences their views on Israel as the Israel-Hamas war continues after the Oct. 7 attack on civilians in southern Israel killed over 1,200 and prompted an Israeli military offensive in Gaza.” PMW
Let’s remember that the Bible was breathed into text by the living God.
Are you really going to believe the media over the God of the Bible? The Greek word for “inspiration” literally means: “divinely breathed in:—given by inspiration of God.” There is no source or authority to trust more than God Himself! You may be aware that pro-Israel Christians, i.e. Christian Zionists are Bible believers. When you move away from the Scriptural authority you are adrift in humanism. Incidentally, this is also true of Jews. Many American Jews are actually standing against Israel with Hamas. Those are Jews who do not believe the Bible. The wonderful thing is that Arabs who believe the Bible are pro-Israel. (If you want a great Gazan Arab testimony of an ex terrorist assassin, watch this December 21 interview with Joel Rosenberg.)
A proper paraphrase of the first part is: The Bible is alive, and it is energy! The Greek word for powerful is literally “energēs” from which we get our English word: “energy.” Those “Christians” who do not believe and live by the Bible are missing out on the energy of the Holy Spirit. I pray that you believe God’s divinely breathed word and stand 100% with Israel in these days of prophetic destiny. (Disclaimer: We do not agree with every decision of Israel, but agree with the purpose of God for Israel.)
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem and wisdom for their leaders. Also, thank God for this week’s rain in Israel.
