Israeli air attacks kill six Palestinians in Gaza overnight

Hey Watchmen, Six more souls gone overnight in Gaza, and I know for some of you that number just becomes noise after a while — you scroll past it. Don't. Every one of those was a person made in the image of Elohim, and this conflict is not going to resolve itself through more air raids or more press releases. My friends, we are watching the birth pains Yeshua warned us about, and birth pains don't get lighter as they go, they get closer together and harder to bear. I want you to sit with Isaiah 59:8 for a minute — "The way of peace they know not; and there is no judgment in their goings: they have made them crooked paths: whosoever goeth therein shall not know peace." That's not a verse about one side or the other, it's a verse about a world that has forgotten how to walk in righteousness altogether. Everybody wants to point fingers, Hamas embedding in civilian population, Israel responding with overwhelming force, and both things can be true at once. What I know is this — man's crooked paths always end in more bodies, and only Messiah's return sets that road straight. Until He comes back and judges in righteousness, we're going to keep seeing this cycle. So don't let this headline just scroll by you numb. Pray for Gaza's innocents, pray for Israel's protection, and pray, my friends, for wisdom over leaders on every side who keep choosing the sword. Keep your eyes up, keep your lamps trimmed, and watch — because the Bridegroom is coming, and this world's crooked paths are running out of road.
