As we see the war in Gaza and Israel getting hotter, Satan is seeking to draw us in and to “take a side.” Once we do that, we too become angry and full of hate toward the other side. We cannot understand God’s plan unless we “let go” of your own biases and prejudices.

I strongly suggest that we denounce violence in all its forms, as did Jesus, and allow the spirit of Jesus to open our eyes to His plan.

On July 15, 1099 AD, the Christian Crusaders entered Jerusalem and slaughtered all the “enemies of God,’’ being the Muslim and Jewish people, whether male or female, so that men rode in blood up to their knees and called it “the just and splendid judgement of God.”

I believe we are beginning to see the “tidings from the east and the north…” (Daniel 11:44) The Hebrew word for annihilate is “haram” (H2463) which means “to devote to religious uses (especially to destruction).”

As we see bad news coming from the east and the north of Jerusalem (Iran, Russia, Syria, China), the world leaders are all choosing sides for another World War. Only recently, have I come believe that we are on the precipice of a great cataclysm.

Has anyone seen live views of Putin recently?

'Jesus Christ’s idea of prayer is, “Your will be done” (Matthew 26:42). Are we so committed to this way of praying that we catch the intimate secrets of God?" utmost.org/modern-classic…

As Citizen's of Heaven, we are not drawn into these human conflicts, yet we state the obvious. The "tidings out of the east and the north" in Daniel 11:44 have begun.

This is an overview of chapter 11 in the book of Daniel. I hope it is helpful.
