Israeli strike kills six people in Gaza

Hey Watchmen, Six more souls gone in Gaza City, and my heart breaks for every family caught in the crossfire — Israeli and Palestinian alike. I've said it before and I'll say it again: this is not going away, and it is not going to look like anything the diplomats keep promising us on the news. Elohim is not surprised by a single one of these strikes. He told us through the prophets that Jerusalem and the nations surrounding her would become "a cup of trembling" and "a burdensome stone" — and my friends, we are watching that stone get heavier by the week. Every headline like this one is another turn of the wheel He set in motion long before CNN or Middle East Eye ever picked up a camera. Now here's what I want you to hear clearly — grieving the dead does not mean picking a side against Torah. Hamas hiding among civilians and calling every casualty a massacre is wickedness, full stop; but that doesn't give anyone license to treat innocent life as expendable collateral either. Deuteronomy 21 gives Israel itself a whole ritual for when innocent blood is found and the guilty party unknown — because Yahweh cares who bears responsibility for blood in the land. He is not indifferent to six names we may never even hear. This conflict is not a political football, it's a covenant land under covenant scrutiny, and He is watching every strike as closely as He's watching the response to it. So don't get numb to these numbers, my friends. Every report out of Gaza is a knock on the door reminding us the Day of the Lord draws nearer than the headlines let on. Keep your eyes up, keep your lamps trimmed, and keep praying for the peace of Jerusalem — because Yeshua is coming back to a world that looks exactly like this one. Watch, and stay ready.
