ISRAEL WAS caught by surprise this morning as Hamas launched more than 5,000 rockets and crossed the border, reportedly abducting more than 50 Israelis to Gaza. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As of this recording, more than 100 Israelis are dead and another 900 injured. The Israeli government reports that Hamas terrorists have been engaged in 22 communities in southern Israel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is a fluid situation, so there is no breaking news here, but we try to make sense of this in light of world events and Bible prophecy. Is this the beginning of a Psalm 83 war, or could it be another front in the early days of World War III? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We know this: The fallen realm wants control of Jerusalem, and specifically the Temple Mount. However the current situation unfolds, the final battle of the age, Armageddon, will be fought there. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Until then, just remember Psalm 82:4\u20136: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nHe who sits in the heavens laughs;
the Lord holds them in derision.
Then He will speak to them in His wrath,
and terrify them in His fury, saying,
\u201cAs for Me, I have set My King
on Zion, my holy hill.\u201d <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
