THE WAR between Israel and Hamas is, at its core, spiritual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We call this program P.I.D. Radio <\/em>because we see our mission as Peering Into Darkness so we are not ignorant of the enemy\u2019s designs. That enemy, as Paul wrote to the church at Ephesus, is not human, but supernatural, intelligent evil\u2014principalities, powers, thrones, dominions, archons, and \u201ccosmic rulers over this present darkness.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The city god of Gaza in the time of Jesus was called Marna (or Marnas), identified by scholar Edward Lipi\u0144ski as Dagon, chief god of the Philistines as far back as the time of the Judges in Israel. Dagon, or Dagan, was the chief deity of the Amorites along the Euphrates River dating back to the mid-3rd millennium BC, and under the names Enlil, Assur, Kumarbi, Milcom (Molech), Baal-Hammon, Kronos, and Saturn, was believed by pagans to be the father of the gods from the beginning of recorded history well into the Christian era.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Derek wrote in The Second Coming of Saturn<\/em>, we believe this entity was the leader of the rebellious sons of God in Genesis 6, named Shemihazah in the Book of 1 Enoch. He is the angel of the bottomless pit\u2014the Destroyer, Abaddon\/Apollyon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That being the case, the horrors of the last seven days should make more sense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
