| Playing With Fire |
February 17, 2024: Today is Day 500 of the war which began on 7 October 2023 with the barbaric jihadist invasion of southern Israel to the east of the Gaza Strip.
During this past weekend's visit to Israel by U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio he warned the enemies of Israel that they were "playing with fire." This, of course, was a rephrasing of what U.S. President Donald Trump, and subsequently Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, had warned about "all hell breaking loose" during the prior week should the jihadists in Gaza stand by their pronouncement to permanently end the release of Israeli hostages by high noon on Saturday, 15 February 2024. As we now know the Gaza jihadists capitulated from their threat by releasing three male hostages one hour prior to the noon deadline. This release of captives was in keeping with the previously agreed upon temporary ceasefire (hudna).
While the warning to Israel's enemies that they are "playing with fire" is very serious and indeed specific, Eschatology Today would note that the nations of the world are engaged in much the same type of folly. Such is the inherent nature of these "last days" as our unambiguous Scriptures plainly state. The "Late, Great Planet Earth" indeed simply because a great mass of humanity ignores the most important aspects of the prophetic Word of God and the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
At the present time there is full agreement, intent of purpose and iron-clad mechanisms of across-the-board support between the American and Israeli governments, so much so that the Arab nations have cancelled two major summits that were to convene in the coming days. In short, Sheba and Dedan are sitting up and taking notice. Eschatology Today being ahead of the curve as usual and by design we'll pause briefly at this point and allow things to catch up.

Marana'tha!
Speaking of playing with fire, there is nothing more volatile for the population of Israel than the status of Shiri Bibas, Kfir Bibas and Ariel Bibas.
ReplyDeleteHAMAS says Shiri Bibas, Kfir Bibas and Ariel Bibas are dead, bodies to be returned Thursday.
DeleteNo comment from Israel.
The murder of Shiri and her babies should inflame Israel again like October 7th did.
Those precision-capable 2,000lb bombs have arrived at a most opportune time it seems. Bro. Steve
DeleteIt seems so. All Israel is seething today; the forensics announcement may serve as an igniter. Even self-disgraced CoS Halevi ended his trip to the US abruptly to return. Something's in the wind.
DeleteThe IDF Chief Rabbi Eyal Karim recited Psalm 83 as he stood beside the coffins of the four murdered hostages.
DeleteThe forensic analysis should be complete just prior to the Sabbath.
DeleteIDF Chief Rabbi reciting Ps83 apropos of the current conflict. Somethings in the wind all right - for sure. Bro. Steve
DeleteBro Steve,
DeleteWe all likely know the phrase, "those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it."
At Eschatology Today we know this as the conceptual "Past as (is) Prologue" because Scripture is chockful of examples.
Put one's nose into the wind and one can smell it coming.
There is a proposal from Europe to the US.
ReplyDeleteIn the event of a Russia-Ukraine ceasefire a NATO Rapid Reaction Force of 30,000 EU troops would deploy into Ukraine as a security guarantee. The US would provide security (Overwatch) for the entire EU Reaction Force.
Watched an interview with a local Lebanese (non-Hezbollah) politician, in which he said inter alia that he openly supported those IDF outposts being there indefinitely, for the exact reason that Hezbollah could not be trusted. Can't seem to relocate it and I missed his name - bald guy - quite large build. Bro. Steve
ReplyDeleteBro Steve,
DeleteThat is a man who knows the recent history of Lebanon and the legacy of Rafiq Hariri. He is one of the majority of Lebanese who know that Lebanon is again at a crossroads, thanks to Israel.
Lebanon
DM Israel Katz:
ReplyDeleteHamas abducted, Hamas murdered, Hamas will be destroyed."
Reports that the remains purported to be Shiri Bibas are not in fact Shiri Bibas. This would not have been an 'accident'. In the same vein as what Yamamoto famously (& prophetically) said after the Pearl Harbour, I cannot imagine anything that would infuriate the Israelis more. Bro. Steve
DeleteAttempt by islamic terrorists to detonate bombs on 5 public buses tomorrow morning thwarted.
ReplyDeleteOded Lifshitz was murdered by PIJ terrorists a little over one year ago. He was an Israeli hero of the highest order.
A "massive counter terror operation" has begun and will continue for some time Judea and Samaria.
ReplyDeleteAriel (4) and Kfir (10-months) are with the Lord.
ReplyDeleteThese little ones were psychologically and physically abused, tortured, before they were murdered by the sub-human animals in Gaza.
