Hamas says it asked 'Board of Peace' to 'compel' Israel to accept Gaza plan
Hey Watchmen,
So now Hamas is running to this so-called "Board of Peace," asking men in suits to "compel" Israel to accept a plan that Hamas itself gets to shape. My friends, think about that word — compel. That's not diplomacy, that's pressure, and pressure dressed up in a peace process is still pressure. I've watched enough of these mediators and boards and committees to tell you plainly — you cannot negotiate real peace through people who have no intention of dealing honestly with the other side. It's the same pattern we've seen over and over in these ceasefire talks — everybody at the table except the ones who actually want Israel to survive this thing.
Jeremiah warned Israel about leaders and false prophets who kept saying "peace, peace," when there was no peace at all (Jeremiah 6:14). That's exactly what a "Board" trying to force terms onto a sovereign nation looks like to me — a manufactured peace, not a righteous one. True peace, shalom, doesn't get compelled by outside boards or international pressure campaigns. It comes from Elohim, and ultimately it comes when Yeshua Himself sets foot back on that Mount of Olives and settles this once and for all. Every man-made peace plan between now and then is going to wobble, because it's built on human hands, not on Torah and not on the covenant promises.
So don't get too excited or too discouraged by whatever this Board decides. These are just more pieces moving on the board before the real King steps in. Keep your eyes up, keep your Bibles open, and watch — because the closer we get to the real thing, the louder the false "peace, peace" is going to get.
