We’re living in unprecedented times, my friends! World events seem to dot the landscape of Bible prophecy, setting the table for what Scripture tells us will occur in the last days. Personally, I don’t know how long last days last, but I think we’re living in them!

We have been focused on the International Criminal Court’s threat to issue warrants for Israel’s leaders for alleged violations of human rights in Gaza. First, if you believe the allegations of starvations and apartheid on Israel’s part in Gaza, you are tremendously misinformed and/or are believing false, made-up media tales. There is plenty of food in Gaza, the Palestinians (though living in a warzone, thanks to Hamas) are provided places of safety (by the IDF) and instruction how to get there, and the IDF is striking with such precision that war experts who speak honestly confirm very few civilians have fallen victim to IDF attacks.

We discussed the Biden administration, Egypt and Saudi Arabia‘s roles in the evil scheme to pin Israel’s back to the wall. In general, if Israel does not agree to a false peace deal brokered by the US, Egypt and/or Saudi Arabia, the ICC will likely hand down warrants, as noted above. At that point, what does Israel do? What would be the consequences of the ICC’s action if Israel does not agree to a deal untenable to them?

Simple. If labeled war criminals, Israel will throw off all the gloves and will fight to win! They will have no choice because their very existence is threatened. It is simply not an option to harbor Iranian-backed terrorists in their backyard. The people of Israel will not stand for it.

At that point, Israel fights for survival. As war criminals, neither Saudi Arabia nor any other Arab country will likely be interested in normalization. Israel’s treaties with Egypt and Jordan could be in jeopardy, and the Abraham Accords could lose their teeth. (Perhaps not, but its possible.)

On the flipside, no hostages will be released. That is the true tragedy. However, as difficult as it is, many reports from Israel are indicating doubt that very many hostages are still alive. I pray otherwise, asking the Lord for a miracle. Yet, little hope is coming from Gaza. It could be that the only hostages still alive are those surrounding Yayha Sinwar, the Hamas leader, believed to be holed up in the Rafah tunnels. (Those who are alive are almost assuredly not being fed or cared for, and if any are women, they are almost assuredly raped and tortured.)

Moreover, a precedent will be set if Israel is labeled a war criminal. We will see that Israel was the canary in the coal mine, with the western world next in line to suffer similar fate. We’re seeing the early stages on college campuses even now. If terrorists can invade a nation and do what they want, and the invaded nation is seen as war criminals because they defend themselves, look out Europe! Look out Australia! Look out America! There is a reason Iran calls Israel the “little Satan” and the US the “big Satan!” They are coming for the free world.

In attempts to appease a few Muslim voters in Michigan, and by opening wide the borders of American, Biden is inviting the very terror that struck Israel to strike us all. (Other nations included.) It should come as no surprise when we endure our own “October 7.” It could make 911 look like a minor violation.

Furthermore, the dam has broken and Antisemitism is now practically accepted as the norm, as law enforcement seems unable or unwilling to stop it. My American Jewish friends are terrified…and for good reason. Perhaps it is time for them to return to the safest place on earth for the Jews…Israel, their homeland. (Sad, but true.) More importantly, perhaps it is time for their eyes to be open to their Messiah. I pray fervently for that…how about you?

Finally, for those of us willing to look (and there are many), we saw this coming. As early as October 10, Biden began laying the trap when he issued his first warning to Israel to act according to international laws of war. Israel had not even made a move yet! Nor has Israel ever acted blatantly against international laws of war! Why the immediate warning from the White House? Because it would become the administration’s foundation to begin using “disproportional force” and “humanitarian violations” as the foundation to get Israel to conform to the scheme.

It is Biden who greenlit the ICC’s ability to issue warrants, and it is Biden who has the capability of re-instituting the executive order that Trump put in place to prevent such evil nonsense. In essence, the bullet that will destroy America’s relationship with Israel is in the chamber. Will Biden pull the trigger?

Finally, to Netanyahu’s great credit, here is what he had to say to his war cabinet only a few days ago:

Stand firm, Bib! Christians, whose backs are also against the wall, stand with you and pray for you! God bless Israel!
