Shalom from Above and within, but not on the ground.

Since last night we have been inundated with a barrage of rocket attacks from Gaza in Beer Sheva.  After more than 100 rockets fired into southern Israel the last few days, the Israeli government decided to act forcefully to hopefully this time cause Hamas and the other terrorist organizations and sponsors of terror to re-consider their policies towards Israel.

Being that the conflict is religiously based, and ultimately spiritual in the heavenlies, no carnal means will actually succeed, but  nonetheless, God can use war to bring people to acknowledge Him and His better way.  https://streamsinthenegev.com/school-of-fish/war/
While all the Islamists claim their right to seek to undermine, and even to destroy, Israel, they do not accept Israel’s right to act against them, calling that an act of war.

With the upcoming historic date of November 29, when the United Nations in 1947 confirmed what had already been initiated by the Nov 2, 1917 Balfour Declaration, and the legal status to recognize the formation of a Jewish homeland in then Palestine at the San Remo conference in 1920, and the League of Nations in 1922, so now is the Palestinian Authority seeking on this very date to have the United Nations upgrade its status to non-member observer state, which would grant it many rights as if it were actually a sovereign nation-state.  Sadly, there are even Christians supporting this move, among them Arab Israelis:  http://www.comeandsee.com/view.php?sid=1202 .  It is possible that this will succeed, but at what price for those who support it?  Do we hear any clear trumpet sounds?  May some of these have their own version of a Damascus Road experience:  they are persecuting Jesus through irrational hatred of Israel; Saul/Paul persecuted Yeshua through the Church.  In both situations the lesson is this:  we are not saved through any righteousness of our own, but only by the grace of God.

We spent most of last night from 8:00 till this morning being ‘wakened’ from ‘sleep’ to go into the bomb shelter.  This morning continued the same until about an hour ago now.  For us, we feel ‘safe’ compared to those who live in areas or neighborhoods which are more used to actual hits.  All of the members of Yeshua’s Inheritance Cong. are reporting that they are okay.  Thank-you for your prayers, and may GOD get more of what HE wants accomplished through this military operation, called Pillar of Cloud.
