This won’t be an exhaustive study but I thought I’d put it out there. Now before I show the passage I want you to consider, let me establish some of the context, which revolves around Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and what was going on in Israel before this war started.
Since the start of this year Israel, unbeknownst to most of the western world, was in the middle of a declared “civil war.” The country was, and still pretty much is, divided mostly in half; with one group in favor of Benjamin Netanyahu and what has been called his “extreme far-right” government, and the other not liking him and his party. This was in large part, one of the reasons that is, is the PM was trying to get passed a sweeping judicial reform in Israel. To put it in simple terms, Netanyahu was trying to strip away the power from their equivalent to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Netanyahu has for years has had a monkey on his back, indicted for corruption in three cases for bribery, fraud and breach. By trying to pass these judicial reforms, Netanyahu could effectively evade these charges, and get passed whatever laws he’d like even if it conflicts with their constitution.
In the words of Israeli President President Isaac Herzog earlier this year, “Those who think that a real civil war, with human lives, is a border we won’t cross, have no idea.” In Israel’s 75th year, “the abyss is within touching distance.” This past July over 170,000 people held rallies in Tel Aviv alone, with many holding signs that read, “We refuse to serve a dictatorship.” These reforms even drew ire from the White House, with President Biden calling the unanimous 64-0 vote to pass some of the reforms (with dozens of absentees) “unfortunate.”

The “reasonableness law,” as it is called, is unprecedented and gives the hardline Knesset “untrammeled power” because the parliament can then deny court rulings with a simple majority.
At a stroke, this removes any separation of powers between the legislature, the executive, and the judiciary. From now on the government can politicize the selection of judges, appoint convicted criminals to the highest offices of the state, and allow Netanyahu, currently on trial on corruption charges that could put him behind bars for years, to evade conviction.
WSWS report
So, when this war was declared on October 7th by Netanyahu, the country was seriously facing the actual threat of going to war with each other. But with the government and people divided – when the war began the opposing parties laid down their angst and have temporarily made an alliance with him to get through this war; which in all likelihood will drag on for some time.
And then you have, for example, the last several years of The Covid War, with Israel seeing some of the worst tyranny of all around the world; with Netanyahu openly admitting to Israel being a literal testing ground to create a genetic database with Pfizer, from the Israeli’s medical records, to effectively build the early ground work from a digital ID and medical passport. Definitely give that a read.
So Israel became, if you will, the lab for Pfizer, and that’s how we did it. We gave the information to the world, and not only it’s been published in medical magazines and so on. That’s a database we have.
Now let pharma companies, let medical companies, let them run algorithms on this database. […] But you can create a biotechnological industry that is unheard of right now, unheard of, unimagined even.
Netanyahu said
Bearing these types of things in mind, the calls for Netanyahu’s resignation still remain high and on the frontpage of Israeli news, especially after Netanyahu has steadfastly said there will be no ceasefire, and with the tactics he and the IDF have employed in their response to Hamas; which Netanyahu knew in advance but allowed it to happen, with the IDF caught totally napping.
Moreover, just today, Hebrew paper Haaretz published a succinct op-ed titled, “Just Leave, Netanyahu.” The article written by the editorial board reads:
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has returned to his evil ways, inciting and sowing destruction. If in normal times it is behavior that poisons society and the systems of the state, in wartime such conduct places Israel in existential danger.
Sunday it was reported that he believes the calls earlier this year for military reservists to refuse to serve should be investigated as a possible factor in the decision of the head of Hamas in the Gaza Strip, Yahya Sinwar, to launch the terrorist attack on border communities October 7.
There is no plausible explanation for the prime minister’s statements during the most difficult moments in the history of the state. Netanyahu is like the scorpion in the fable of the scorpion and the frog: It’s simply his nature.
An entire country is waking up from everything it believed in, and only Netanyahu – the father of the doctrine that shattered into pieces on October 7, the person who was responsible for Israel’s security, who was prime minister for 12 of the past 14 years, who refused repeated requests from the defense establishment to halt the government coup, ignoring them with the contempt and hubris of a Greek tragedy – remained as he was: an angel of sabotage.
Apparently, 1,400 deaths were not enough for him, 240 hostages have no effect on him, thousands of Israelis who became refugees in their own country and entire communities that were destroyed – through all this, he remains the same. As always, he incites, thinks about himself, defends his post and worries only about his own future.
“Netanyahu sticks a knife in the hearts of the fighters, during the war. The entire nation – army (excluding your sons), and only you continue to tear the nation apart,” the Brothers and Sisters in Arms organization said in response. There is no more accurate way to describe what Netanyahu is doing.
And as in a standard ritual, once again it was the head of the National Unity Party, Minister Benny Gantz, who called on Netanyahu to retract his remark (“Dodging responsibility and slinging mud during war is an injury to the country,” he tweeted. “The prime minister must retract his words clearly and unambiguously”); and again Netanyahu “retracted” and tweeted: “Hamas started a war against us because it wants to kill us all and not because of any argument within us.” It doesn’t bother him to backtrack. After all, the poison is already in the air and the chain of infection is already at its height.
Netanyahu is interfering with the state’s defense of itself from the disaster that he, in his indescribable nihilism, brought down on it. His behavior at this difficult time adds insult to injury. We must not become accustomed to this unhealthy pattern of behavior in wartime. We must not allow him to stay in power as if it were divine decree. The political establishment must find a way to put an end to Netanyahu’s malignant rule. The price that Israel will pay for his continued reign is too high.
So, bearing all this in mind, let’s consider what has happened since this war started. For starters, I am unequivocally against what Hamas did, and I am in no way condoning their attacks, and what they were doing before to Israel and their own Palestinian people before that. Howbeit, Netanyahu’s, the IDF’s, and the United States’ blatant disregard for the innocent civilians (men, women, children, elderly) that have been slaughtered, knowingly, with such as blasé and apathy, is certainly no better.

Now, this brings me to the scripture passage that I wanted to discuss. I kept getting this inclination to look into what tribe Netanyahu is from. From what I could find it would appear that Netanyahu has decadency from the tribe of Levi, according to some of the research and papers out there.
Here is why that is significant. In Genesis 49, Jacob, the patriarch to his sons, before he dies, gives a prophecy of what would become of his sons and their descendants “in the last days.” Consider this passage:
[1] And Jacob called unto his sons, and said, Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you that which shall befall you in the last days. [5] Simeon and Levi are brethren; instruments of cruelty are in their habitations. [6] O my soul, come not thou into their secret; unto their assembly, mine honour, be not thou united: for in their anger they slew a man, and in their selfwill they digged down a wall. [7] Cursed be their anger, for it was fierce; and their wrath, for it was cruel: I will divide them in Jacob, and scatter them in Israel. Genesis 49:1, 5-7
When I read that, it began to make sense to me: what Netanyahu and his government are doing is in part fulfilling what the King James Bible said would happen.
Contrary to misconceptions and Jesuitical sophistry spread around all the time, the nation of Israel, as prophesized in many places throughout the Old and New Testaments, would be brought back into their land after being scattered abroad for all these centuries amongst the Gentiles, and brought back into their land in unbelief; a nation that rejects and despises the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, his word, the truth, and the gospel, and are living in blindness. But, eventually they, the nation, will be redeemed in accordance with the covenant God made with Abraham and his descendants. Until then, and even during the coming time of Jacob’s trouble (Jeremiah 30), falsely so-called “The Tribulation,” the Jews will be in sin and rebellion to the word of God and righteousness; even being spiritually “called Sodom and Egypt” (Revelation 11:7). NOTE: Read the statement of faith page to read for yourself just *some* of the scriptures that talk about Israel’s restoration and redemption.
But the point is, what Jacob prophesized seems to align with what’s been going on in Israel as of late, and will probably continue for a time. This is not some “antisemitic” or “anti-Israel” slant, but rather a confirmation of what the scriptures said would happen.
To dissect what Jacob said about his sons Simeon and Levi, the story he references can be found in Genesis 34. I encourage you to read the whole story for yourself; but basically what happened was Dinah, the daughter to Jacob and sister to his sons, was defiled by a man named Shechem, who “saw her, he took her, and lay with her, and defiled her” (2). Shechem loved her and wanted her to be his wife, and his father Hamor spoke with Jacob to get permission. But; “[7] And the sons of Jacob came out of the field when they heard it: and the men were grieved, and they were very wroth, because he had wrought folly in Israel in lying with Jacob’s daughter; which thing ought not to be done.” Long story short, Jacob’s sons deceived Shechem and Hamor into believing they were fine with it, and their families marrying with each other and occupying goods together, as long they got circumcised to be like the sons of Jacob. They agreed, but Simeon and Levi went ahead and murdered all the sons of the city, including Shechem and Hamor:
[25] And it came to pass on the third day, when they were sore, that two of the sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi, Dinah’s brethren, took each man his sword, and came upon the city boldly, and slew all the males. [26] And they slew Hamor and Shechem his son with the edge of the sword, and took Dinah out of Shechem’s house, and went out. [27] The sons of Jacob came upon the slain, and spoiled the city, because they had defiled their sister. [28] They took their sheep, and their oxen, and their asses, and that which was in the city, and that which was in the field, [29] And all their wealth, and all their little ones, and their wives took they captive, and spoiled even all that was in the house. [30] And Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, Ye have troubled me to make me to stink among the inhabitants of the land, among the Canaanites and the Perizzites: and I being few in number, they shall gather themselves together against me, and slay me; and I shall be destroyed, I and my house. [31] And they said, Should he deal with our sister as with an harlot? Genesis 34:25-31
This is what Jacob was referring to in the prophecy God inspired him to speak. I mention this because if you loosely compare it to what is happening now in Gaza it’s kind of comparable. Israel’s sons intermingled themselves in the land of Canaan (Genesis 33:17-20), and Dinah Jacob’s daughter was sinned against, and then Jacob’s son’s did worse by lying, killing all the males, and stole all their stuff. It’s similar to now in a weird way: *some* of the Palestinians and Hamas members did and have done some heinous stuff to Israelis for years; and Israel’s response to this latest attack under Netanyahu and company, a Levite, is one of cruelty and no better than what Hamas has done. Hopefully you understand what I am trying to get at with this loose analogy.
So, I just thought that was really interesting and I figured I would bring it out, as it helps add some further context to this whole conflict and basically World War III at this point, that Israel’s actions are in line with scripture and as prophesized.
Furthermore, I wanted to highlight this because, regardless if you want to deny all connection to what I presented in this article to Genesis 49, it still does not change that fact that it says what it says, that the nation of Israel will dwell in wickedness up until the small remnant that remains will be saved at the second advent.
[25] For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. [26] And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: [27] For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins. [28] As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers’ sakes. Romans 11:25-28
Therefore, when I report on Israel’s happenings, and the wickedness that goes on there, (as it does everywhere else, too), it is not because I somehow hate Israel or whatever people might slander or misconstrue me with. Quite the contrary: it’s very much in line with the word of God and what it says would happen, and will continue to happen.
For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.
Galatians 1:10
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

Yes, that does seem to be very much in line with what Jacob said. I’d say more but I need to soak that in some more…ya are on the right track there. Leading them to think all is cool and while their down on the ground; destroy them
Right, that’s kind of what I am trying to get at. This does not mean I reject the promises God made to Israel, (as some would say that I am or something), I’m just trying to line up what other parts of scripture say, too.
I believe it does apply. The woman corrupted. Leaving the order of God, keepers at home etc….and the order of the decline of nations in Romans 1 has the men derelict in their duty & responsibility (as Adam who didn’t overrule Eve….and yet foreseen of God & provided for!!! ) then blaming the lost & seeking vengeance when the consequences play out, & without acknowledging the sin of God’s own that contributed to the matter……then ‘even their women’ leaving the natural use….
–
Jacob was derelict in his duty allowing Dinah to comingle with the lost. I distinctly remember bringing that up in one of their fake any-Bible-but-the-King-James ‘Bible Studies’, as we were homeschooling & trying to wake people up that the world is not ‘neutral’….but on sand ourselves yet, due to not having come to the King James position & corrupting our own faith with humanist philosophy & methodology: the weapons of our warfare are not carnal.
–
It was a community study open to anyone held in a transforming baptist church with many Masons and Rainbow Girls in the membership, and it was the pastors & their wives who were present who jumped down my throat on that. ‘Well, what were they supposed to do with her?”
–
I’d already been flabbergasted by the insistence on a magical egg-shaped flood at the time of Noah that affected only the Middle East, despite all evidence to the contrary by those same folks. The refusal to take the creation account seriously…. Folks irrationally insisted that Noah & his family stepped out of the ark into some sort of paradise, completely dry & with well-developed vegetation etc, rainbows & daisies, and not a muddy, devastated, utterly changed landscape……and accused any who didn’t agree of being ‘unspiritual’.
–
Magical thinking. Humanist ‘possibility’ thinking. Presuming. Taking terrible risks. Tempting God.
We were out of there shortly thereafter, and aided by basically being ejected & wondering what had hit us since it surely came from the shadows & indirectly: I believe the last straw was when I testified that I’d rather be found a chastened child here & now than to be found a spiritual bastard as I feared many would be…..but it’s not like we were firmly grounded, or rightly ordered ourselves in so many ways. Some sort of spiritual giants. Took some hard hits before I learned we were to warn and separate, not keep bringing truth while steeping in the lies & corruption ourselves disobediently. God is merciful, and it sort of matters if you’re immature & don’t understand, but he holds us accountable for what we COULD HAVE known, & if we stay too long immobile or immature: he WILL move us along, or shake up our world to get our attention.
–
Such a mess, but it’s sure playing out in living gory color & consequential judgment now, is it not?-
–
The woman is always the type of the faithful, virtuous woman, or the strange woman. She was taken out of the body of man by God, and Satan works constantly to take his own counterfeit of that out by corrupting them, attacking through the weaker link. Spiritual unfaithfulness & fornication leading to fleshly & physical fornication…..and the children pay, and God hates that. Think millstones cast down with violence.
–
I’ve been spending a lot of time in the prophets of the Old Testament. God repeatedly judged the Jews, ultimately ending their theocracy & beginning the age of the Gentiles, saying that what they did, despite having his word with knowledge of his way, & despising it, going against it….was actually worse than what the wicked worldly Gentiles were doing. I believe that the Gentiles who were given & entrusted with the word & Gospel have done the same and that’s what we’re seeing as Romans 11 plays out.
“I believe that the Gentiles who were given & entrusted with the word & Gospel have done the same and that’s what we’re seeing as Romans 11 plays out.”
-I completely agree with you there. I talked about some of this in my piece “Do you loathe the honeycomb?,” and I think since the Gentile is being grafted out and the Jew regrafted back in, I think we are seeing the reversal of roles.
Romans 11:11 I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy. [14] If by any means I may provoke to emulation them which are my flesh, and might save some of them.
Now, like you said, I think this is starting to be reversed, and the Jews and Israel are now being used as provocation as the Lord uses it to judge the corrupted Gentiles and Western nations.
Jacob you are not a supporter of Isarel you do not and are not a bible believing Christian on the King James Bible. Go to Amos and other scripture where it talks about Gaza and God destroys Gaza. What ever you think or believe about Israel and God chosen people you better get right with God now.
Zephaniah 2:4
[4]For Gaza shall be forsaken, and Ashkelon a desolation: they shall drive out Ashdod at the noon day, and Ekron shall be rooted up.
That is absolute slander on your end. Show me one place in this article or others where I disputed the fact that Gaza will be uprooted, and Israel will eventually get their entire land back at some point? I literally cited scripture that confirms their redemption in Romans 11, and many other passages in my statement of faith. Apparently if I don’t think to spell everything out then people think I am against Israel and God’s promises. Give me a break.
Such ridiculous and idiotic slander! I’m not quote end quote “highly educated” but I’m not a moron either. I know you’re not against Israel, not one word, not one syllable said you’re anti-Israel. Discernment is so rare nowadays.
Amen Rick.
Condemnation is all I hear from the writer of this and other articles here concerning Israel. Whether he knows it, cares or cares not, he is going against God’s words on how believers are to pray for Israel, bless and pray for our enemies and let God teach us through His scriptures. This constant finger pointing from this bitter and hateful man who runs this site is so evident of what truly lies in his heart. It’s so un-Christ like and so sad. It is only hurting he who writes these unholy things and he needs prayer, obviously.
As for beloved Israel…God bless it and it’s people. The atrocities they have had to face are off the charts. Pray for their healing please brothers and sisters. I can’t imagine the heartache they are experiencing as a nation.
Let’s pray:
Dear Father,please bless Netanyahu and his team during this time of trial. Thank you Lord for the amazing and speedy progress that the IDF has made thus far…victory is in view! Thank you for your perfect words in your perfect book oh Lord! Please help those who can’t see the forest for the trees and please help Jacob to see the error of his ways.
Heal his heart and help him to surrender to Your will, not his. Let him see his prideful ways are not helpful, but harmful. Give him a heart full of love and replace his analytical eyes with eyes that only see you and are no longer obsessed with wordly affairs and the need to find faults in others, yet not even seeing his own.
Remind him that all of us are sinners and Bibi isn’t a saved soul, yet. Help Jacob to have a caring compassionate heart for those who are not yet under your wings dear Lord.
Encourage him and lead him to do things YOUR way.
God bless every single person who is saved right now and may many more come to know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior in these times of turmoil. We know you are working dear Lord and we thank you for it.
Come quickly Lord Jesus! In your holy name dear Lord, the name above all names, we pray…Amen!
I believe as christians our love for Israel should not blind us from their atrocities against the many innocent Palestinians.Yes it’s true the Hamas (an evil terrorist organization) murdered over 1,400 innocent Jewish civilians but todate IDF operations has led to the death of over 9,000 Palestinians and still counting.Shouldn’t we as christians speak out about this or it’s non of our business?God simply hates them and their slaughter by the Jews is just fine.Christians need to remember that the current Jewish state lives in rebellion to God.The Israeli Knesset would rather legalize homosexuality but forbid christians proselytizing in the land of Israel.
By all means speak out against the deaths of innocent Palestinians. What is so enraging though, is that the speaking out is always against Israel – NEVER against Hamas, who are exactly like ISIS, whose publically stated goal is the total destruction of Israel, who have publically stated that they use they sacrifice their children to turn the world against Israel. Israel did not start this war. There was a ceasefire on Oct. 6. Netanyahu is sick and he should not be in power, and he cynically propped up Hamas to prevent a Palestinian state (thinking he could contain Hamas). But make no mistake. Hamas is the only one here who planned and committed genocide – both against Israel and their own people. I cannot bear to hear Christians attack Israel without ever holding Hamas to account.
I apologize for my harsh post. It came out much harder than I intended. As an Israeli Jewish believer I have been quite hurt by the silence and/or hostility from Christian quarters after Oct. 7. It took me by surprise. But that is not excuse for talking to you like this. I don’t mean anything by it, I have judged your heart when I had no right or reason to. I am sorry. Blessings
Strong words to one who tirelessly labors to provide us an AV biblical lense on world events (and I am very grateful). Can you supply any specific AV Scriptural proof text and verses or just “Amos and other Scripture”? Or maybe a bot to discourage?
This whole article is founded on the premise that Netanyahu’s judicial reform was not a critical need for Israel’s survival. To equate Israel’s high court with ours is to misunderstand how out of control theirs is, even more than ours. And ours really is out of control: Justice Clarence Thomas’ dissents show how only 5 years after the 14th Amendment was ratified in 1868, SCOTUS (Supreme Court of the United States) turned the Amendment’s authorization for Congress to enforce rights specified in our Bill of Rights into its own authority to invent “rights” at war with Constitutional rights. My nearly finished book: Reversing Landmark Abomination Cases. See savetheworld.saltshaker.us/wiki/Reversing_Landmark_Abomination_Cases.
But Israel’s court is worse! Any law that they call “unreasonable” must go! And the court controls who is added to the court! The urgency of that battle fully accounts for Netanyahu’s motives without imagining (1 Corinthians 4:5) it was over no more than to overcome the accusations against him, which appear no more valid than those against Trump.
And then this study ASSUMES Netanyahu knew what the IDF didn’t, that there would be an attack, and “let it happen”! An illogical theory. And then to compare Israel’s response to the overreaction of Levi! I can’t imagine the restraint, of sending out 5 million text messages and automated phone calls to notify the Palestinians that Israeli troops have pushed away the Palestinian forces blocking their exit, for a four hour period, for those who want to live!
I think a better Scriptural comparison would be when David pursued the Amalekites to recover his families and possessions, 1 Samuel 30. Or when Abraham took his 318 troops and got hostages back from the 4 kings that had whupped the 5. Genesis 14.
To call a comparison like this a “prophecy” seems like a desperate pitch for a zippy headline.
I only mentioned some of that stuff just to highlight what was happening before this war broke out and what the Israelis thought of Netanyahu. This was not some “zippy headline:” I don’t do what I do for that. If you don’t agree that’s fine. Netanyahu and Trump also tried to not only reaffirm the two-state solution, but also wanted to divvy up large parts of Jerusalem, in what they called “the deal of the century.”
https://winepressnews.com/2021/01/18/reminder-trump-attempted-to-divide-jerusalem/
Kushner also elaborated on that in a book.
https://winepressnews.com/2022/08/05/jared-kushner-says-in-new-book-that-trump-threatened-to-allow-sanctions-if-israel-annexed-parts-of-west-bank/
The point is, Netanyahu is not a clean-cut guy.
I read your two links. Neither says a single wrong thing Netanyahu did. The first makes the breathtakingly unsupported allegation, “Netanyahu is just a pawn like all the other world leaders. That man has been involved in numerous elections frauds and continually finds ways to dodge the conspiracies that show his back door deals in order to keep him in power. So that man is just a sellout to his nation. ” I mean, if there is evidence for such vitriol, why not link to it?
The second doesn’t identify anything Netanyahu did wrong, or weakly, but only what Trump should have done better.
“If you don’t agree that’s fine” does not dispose of an issue. The word “prophecy” has a clear meaning. It is distinguished from “correlation” by a correlation to a future event unique enough to distinguish it from a thousand other events. Astrologers “validate” their “predictions” by making predictions so general they are “fulfilled” no matter what happens. They are not “testable”. Not “falsifiable” – too general for anything that happens to prove them false.
OK, Levi was cruel. There, we agree. Even if you had shown something about Netanyahu that is self serving or cruel, which you didn’t, calling that a “prophecy” has no other explanation that I can think of other than the desire for a zippy headline to suck in readers who are actually interested in anything the Bible explains about current events.
But there isn’t even ANY correlation between Levi’s cruelty and Israel’s internationally unprecedented protection of enemy civilians.
https://melaniephillips.substack.com/p/how-israel-tries-to-protect-gazas has a story about the extreme lengths Israel goes to protect Palestinians from their own leaders. There is a description of a phone call to a Palestinian asking him to evacuate three buildings that Israeli jets are waiting to bomb, and a picture of an Israeli tank protecting fleeing Palestinians from attacks by Hamas which wants them to stay and die to fill news headlines.
1 Corinthians 4:5 reminds me that I can’t be sure what is in your heart. But I am concerned. Such bitter accusations as yours, in the absence of any evidence that you are willing to share along with them, seems like the opposite of your admonitions to support Israel.
So, what about all the other things I listed?
Genesis 49:1 And Jacob called unto his sons, and said, Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you that which shall befall you in the last days. -That’s not a prophecy?
Did you know that Hamas is directly created and funded for two decades by Israel and the U.S.? Look it up, Netanyahu openly admits to it. More on that in new report. And yet the media and government is unilaterally blaming Iran.
I think you’re issue here is you imagine a pristine, innocent Israel that has done no evil; but the KJB plainly states that Israel is going to be an unsaved, unrepentant, nation in deep sin and wickedness before the Lord returns and redeems that remnant. That is just a fact; and that in no way makes me opposed to the scriptural promises concerning Israel, not one bit. I think what you need to do is stop taking what the mainstream media says as gospel, along with the fraudulent ministries that just sensualize everything to get clicks and donor money. To accuse me of my insincerity about scripture concerning Israel is simply wrong and misplaced. Read my statement faith and check the scriptures. How come other longtime readers who have commented know that I am not anti-Israel?
People’s feelings got hurt again in the comments…
It’s truly a spiritual thing!
God cannot lie. Man is a liar, including anyone, whether they’re Chinese, Muslim or Jew, etc. The lost corrupt the word of God and like to make Him into a liar… Repent and get right with God ASAP!
The problem is if I don’t spell everything out exactly, and cover every scripture concerning Israel prophetically, then people think I am anti-Israel, which is a complete lie. You know, Cynthia, as do others who follow my work, that I am very much believe with all my heart that that is Israel’s rightful land, and that God will eventually save them, as I have covered in my articles for years.
Jacob, I just figured it out, something lined up for ya in your daily studies; so ya wrote it down and shared it. the real problem is that people don’t read and rightly divide the word of truth, so they start throwing daggers before even thinking about what ya said.
When ya read God’s word, no matter what you are studying, the Holy Ghost will show ya things (as ya know), and you’ll go huh, that’s what that Bible does “it’s alive”
If someone reads the Bible and don’t get hints, nudges and light bulbs going off, they are not lead by the Spirit. Ya’d think ya said that this is cast in concrete, when all ya said was; wow this kinda lines up with what happened with Jacob’s sons!?!
Thanks for that, I’m glad some people get what I am saying. I think a real problem too at it’s core is people don’t want to believe the scriptures as they are.
1 Thessalonians 2:13 For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.
Plus, it does not help when people are so fixated to Western media they only hear one side – one side that just wants to make money not because they genuinely care about Israel biblically.
Yes, I agree with you, brother Jacob.
***BTW, I was asking people in the comments to repent, not you. I hope I didn’t make any confusion.***
Little funny story (unrelated): I woke up this morning with a warning from YouTube that one of my comments got deleted, and that if I continued posting possible “scam, deceptive practices and scams policies” content, I could lose the ability to comment or have my channel terminated. Wow! I think I’ll just have to leave the blind lead the blind and fall into the ditch for good.
YouTube is attacking me hard.
Fully agree with this article.
Well…what can I say to all of that? It was another excellent exposé, to say the least. I didn’t need it; seeing Bibi shaking hands with the Scabb was all I needed to convince me he’s not at all for his people. He’s one of them!
Many years ago, when I was a teen, a dear old saint in my church would stand up to testify EVERY chance she got. Parts of it were repetitive, expected, and a little annoying to me. Ohhh…the flesh!
What I wouldn’t give to have dear Sister Bernice give us her sage counsel just one more time, “Don’t put your trust in man; man will fail you, God never will!”
She was so right! Today, our world has become even more complex and untrustworthy thanks to A.I. and it’s abilities to make stuff up in mere seconds. It can mimic people’s voices, draw the greatest of pictures, falsely accuse or incriminate, and turn people against each other with the most clever and subtle of ways. In fact, much of the news today is AI-generated! That’s some scary stuff right there! What do we believe anymore?
Courts and universities are having their own problems due to the 1/3 part of the m.o.t.b. system’s players…A.I., the one “who speaks” and barks out the mandates. Everything today is leading up to that infamous and life-changing time. That to one side…
Something I realized when Bibi was charged and before the courts, is the duality / parallels between he and Trump, Israel and the USA. The “Deep State” is employing the exact character assassination program against B. N. that they’re doing to Trump. Coincidence? I think not. Now, the USA’s left-tards are pointing false accusations against the new House Speaker, Mike Johnson.
Those on the frontline always take the hardest hits. Sometimes it’s warranted; other times, it’s not.
Having said that, God has raised up the corrupt as well as righteous government leaders. We’re not compelled to follow any of their orders when they’re not there to defend the righteous, as prescribed in Rom. 13. Sadly, everybody is a couch / computer critic, and nobody is willing to stand up to lead the charge against their enemies. We get what we deserve! To do nothing more than to murmur and to complain is to be complicit in their sins. OUCH! That smarts!
Joshua didn’t sit down and let his enemies defeat him; he went after them and he got ’em! Of course, God fought his battle for him, and He promises to do the same for us. Sadly, He can’t find any brave soldiers…Most want to sit in front of their computers…shooting blanks. Being a Kanadastanian, I’m in the huge minority (if that makes any sense). We’ve been neutered when it comes to self-defense and standing up for our rights and freedoms. The USA is much better off than we are, but are to afraid to fire the first shot.
These global leaders obviously have “seared” consciences, for they kill and destroy their own without any apparent conviction. That’s very easy to do when one does as Hitler did and saw people only as objects and no longer people.
Most of us here also know that these things have been planned for many years. When one does extensive research into all the governmental players, they’ll find that most, if not all of them, are either directly blood-related or related by marriage. It’s an ageless and endless cabal. Whether they know it or not, their evil agendas fulfill God’s plan and purpose for the final hours of humanity as we know it. They’re God’s useful idiots. They are necessary on both sides, just as are some of these so-called anti-Semitic “churches” / social clubs today.
Excellent reporting, Jacob, although Bro. Amir Tsarfati (BeholdIsrael.org) would strongly disagree with you as to how the initial invasion happened on Oct. 7. He lives within firing range from the northern border, and he has some very serious perspectives from some very good connections. He’s very honest in his reporting, and like Trump, can only assume the information given to him is accurate and above reproach. I totally agree with his understanding of Oct. 7’s events, even though they may conflict a little with your own.
Having seriously considered both sides, I’m still stuck on the rim of the two-sided “coin” of debate. There’s his side and her side; their side, and our side of the story. The truth is always somewhere in the middle. I’m not being fully convinced one way or the other, and have given up on trying to find the truth of this matter. Again…that damning photo you used in this article speaks some very inconvenient volumes of truth.
There are four things I’m definitely sure about: 1. Hamas is going to rear its barbaric head on Western soil in the very near future. 2. God is still in control; 3. God is true, and every man a liar, and 3. Any day now, Jesus is coming to take us Home! Thank you, for another thought-provoking article! I’m saving this one for future reference too! 🙂
With further consideration of this article, I had to ask myself: who started this war? Who fired the first shot or rocket? Who severed the first head or live-roasted the Jewish babies? It wasn’t Netanyahu.
As we muddle our way through the thick haze of deception and misinformation, we can get so caught up in it that we miss the most important point: the beginning, and who the actual attackers were.
I find it more than a little ironic that Israel is blamed for all the ills and atrocities in the world. Yet, no matter where they live, they have always been a peaceful people, even in Auschwitz. We never hear of them attacking churches, mosques, crowded malls, or driving upon crowded sidewalks. We never hear of them raping, stabbing, or beheading anybody! If they did, the MSM would be all over that relentless news story in a flash!
I’m not trying to justify Bibi’s involvement or actions, but to merely bring us back to first base. Each and every time there’s an uprising, the poor enslaved subjects get caught in the middle, taking the brunt of it. Only time will iron out all of the wrinkles when it comes to governmental influence and involvement. Wouldn’t it be nice if Jesus came today, and spared us the agony of trying to solve an insolvable riddle?! For heaven’s sakes, after all these years, they’re still trying to figure out who shot JFK and what happened on 9-11! As we try to solve this bloody puzzle, we won’t be any further ahead in 20 years than we are today.
Jacob, those are good points you’ve pointed out with Netanyahu and scriptures brother. I also like the tie in of Jacob’s prophecy to the story with Dinah. I have some opinions on that incident, but that’s for another time. Your article made me want to look deeper into these things and examine my beliefs concerning that story.
I was going to post a longer comment to the gainsayers, but I changed my mind: I’ve realized I don’t have time.
At this point, with all the dangerous events happening, people should’ve already been relentlessly studying the KJB scriptures and worldy events. 20 minutes of reading verses here and there, occasionally watching 10 minute videos online won’t cut it.
Brethren can’t just solely depend on ministries to deliver to them complete wisdom and knowledge like XL pizza with all of their favorite toppings. These things take a lot of time: self-studying, going over and over the scriptures, weighing different written sources (including bloodshot eyes), and much prayer to the Lord.
Also, some brethren these days are really lacking in charity and grace toward brothers who are fighting the wickedness in the forefront of the hottest battle. Sad.
Just to clarify, the WinePress is a vital source for truth, knowledge, varied information, warnings; and the main thing, teaching how to apply scriptures with the events that are coming to pass. Showing that the King James Bible lines up with the current events, as anyone can see on this website (if you’re not letting the mainstream media blind you), to inspire us to study the scriptures and do our own research with these things. And frankly, to move our behinds now while there’s still some time left instead of being lazy, thinking we can just breeze through the rough times that are coming without staying close to the Lord’s word and making preparations. God will protect those that make the effort to fight and repent, not the slothful ones.
The WinePress is badly needed by brethren and the lost masses who aren’t fully aware yet of the events being reported here, to urge Christians to prepare and get sin out of our lives; to see that the King James Bible is truly God’s perfect word.
But there’s simply too much going on that this website won’t be able to cover entirely. And the WP covers A LOT, even though it’s only one man doing the work. This is what I meant with “Brethren can’t just solely depend on ministries to deliver to them complete wisdom and knowledge…”
I hope brethren will ponder on these things and pray, and consider helping out this ministry.
8 billion people on this earth
They not into your Bible.
We are seeing Bible prophecy coming to pass. Soon, all the gentile nations, especially the USA will turn their backs on Israel. However Jesus will save his people at the end, though Israel is chastened right now (Jeremiah 30). I hope that the Jews get saved and truly repent.
people need to brush up quickly on history like for example the caspians who were they and what disturbing atrocities they commited. You will find out about them
through alexander the great history.
always remember God will raise up greater evil on any and all nation that become wicked and cruel.
also please search what is al-abeed in gaza. it will open your (certain commentors) eyes to some truths unknown to people who do not live in the middle east and what goes on there culturally on the daily.
my opinion on this article: A well and good truth is always bitter to the sinner but to the saved truth is like honey whether good or bad because we know the Lord is in it all and with us always, even to the end.
some lost people
can’t grasp that God knows every
single soul on this earth
and knows their thoughts.
NO ONE that rejects Jesus is innocent before him but wicked and perverse in their ways. Why ? because God is all good and righteous and pure and truth personified and anyone that rejects goodness, loves evil.
there is only two sides to a coin good or evil.
