Elisha Vision – Commentary

Rafah is the last city in Gaza sheltering Hamas and the Israeli hostages. Estimates range from 4,000 to 10,000 fighters are holed up in Rafah including the top two leaders, Sinwar and Deif. The Israeli and American hostages (yes, nine U.S. hostages) are also believed to be held in tunnels under Rafah. This last city is on the border of Gaza and Egypt where most of Hamas weapons come in through tunnels. Israel must finish the job in Rafah or Hamas will claim victory and rise to attack again, according to their own officials.

Hamas official says group aims to repeat Oct. 7 onslaught many times to destroy Israel – Ghazi Hamad, of terror group’s politburo, hails assault in which civilians were systematically murdered, saying ‘there will be a second, a third, a fourth’; US official: ‘Chilling’

 Astonishingly, the Biden Administration is demanding Israel not finish the job, claiming civilian harm. Yet, Israel has already gone through every other city in Gaza, evacuating the civilians ahead of the troops. That’s one reason there are more civilians in Rafah. But the IDF has proven to provide safe passage away from the fighting for civilians. Even now Israel is setting up a tent city west of Rafah on the beach. The Biden proposal is to offer a state to the Palestinians including Hamas and Islamic Jihad. This is simply a reward for the October 7th massacre. Unthinkable!

IDF begins isolating Rafah, orders 40,000 tents – The moves come despite intensifying international opposition to a ground operation in the last Hamas stronghold, which Jerusalem says is necessary to defeat the terrorist organization.

Yehovah instructed Joshua to conquer Canaan and take no prisoners but totally defeat them. In the defeat of the Amorites in Joshua 10, we saw the miracle of the sun standing still for nearly a day so the enemy could be totally vanquished.

“And do not stay there yourselves, but pursue your enemies, and attack their rear guard. Do not allow them to enter their cities, for Yehovah your God has delivered them into your hand.”  Joshua 10:19

This is the point now reached in the Gaza war. Finish the job! Biden says to stop before Rafah. Even President Trump says it is time to finish Hamas and bring peace. That is my prayer. Finish Hamas and eliminate their threat permanently. Then there will be peace in Gaza and time to rebuild and rehabilitate the brainwashed Gazans, who are now realizing it was Hamas that oppressed them for 18 years. There was not one Jew in Gaza; it was Hamas oppressing the civilians. Pray for peace and salvation for the Palestinians.

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem, wisdom for the leaders, protection for the troops, and give thanks for the abundant rain watering the Promised Land.
