What Does The Hamas/Israeli War Portend For Bible Prophecy? Posted on October 13, 2023 by State of the Nation
by (Pastor) Chuck Baldwin
Eighty percent of evangelical pastors and churches believe the Scofield-spawned propaganda that the modern Zionist State of Israel is the fulfillment of Biblical prophecy. Its not! I might as well go ahead and tick off evangelicals right at the beginning of this column, because it wont get any easier as this column goes on.
God has NO future plans for national Israel. ZERO! ZILCH! NADA! NONE! National Israel was buried in the ashes of Jerusalems destruction in 70 AD. It is gone FOREVER! The Bible nowhere predicts a future national Israel.
And instead of getting angry with me for what I just said, invest a few shekels and watch my Israel Packages and Prophecy Packages.
But every time war breaks out in Palestine, evangelicals saturate the airwaves with more tripe about the prophetic signs that Jesus is coming soon.
Nope! Theres no Rapture either.
Ill say it straight out. Better yet, Ill let Jesus say it straight out: A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas. (Matthew 16:4; Matthew 12:39)
The current Zionist State of Israel is an atheistic, antichrist, pagan country masquerading (with the help of misinformed evangelicals) as a Jewish state. Roman generals/emperors Vespasian and Titus destroyed the Judahite nation in 70 AD. (Actually, God destroyed it; the Romans were only His instruments.) Netanyahu and his fellow Zionists are among the most vile, wicked imposters that the world has ever known. And the Zionist State of Israel itself is the modern worlds most notorious terror state.
Understand this: Israel is NOT a victim. The victims are anybody who stands in the way of a Greater Israelespecially the poor Palestinian people living in Gaza and the West Bank.
Everywhere you turn in the Western Media, you hear about the unprovoked attack of Hamas against Israel. Unprovoked? Are you kidding me?
Caitlin Johnstone:
Its clear by now that whenever you see the word unprovoked being forcefully repeated in a uniform way across the entire political/media class, whatever theyre talking about was definitely massively provoked.
We saw this exact same thing when Russia invaded Ukraine; from the very beginning western politics and media were saturated with the word unprovoked, bashing the western public in the face with that message over and over and over again despite the obvious and undeniable fact that the war in Ukraine was most definitely provoked.
As Noam Chomsky quipped last year, Of course, it was provoked. Otherwise, they wouldnt refer to it all the time as an unprovoked invasion.
And the same is of course true of the latest Hamas offensive. There are all kinds of arguments you could legitimately make about it, but one argument you definitely cannot defend is that it was unprovoked. As Palestinian-American writer and comedian Amer Zahr put it on Twitter, 75 years of ethnic cleansing. 15 years of blockade. Confiscation of Palestinian lands. Pogroms on Palestinian towns. Desecration of Palestinian sacred sites. Daily raids into Palestinian homes. Constant humiliation of a entire people. Nothing about today is unprovoked.
Calling Palestinian violence against Israel unprovoked is easily even more ridiculous than calling the Russian invasion unprovoked, because the abuses of Israeli apartheid are so well-known by the general public at this point. Multiple mainstream human rights organizations have accused Israel of administering an abusive apartheid regime which treats Palestinians as lesser people. Palestinians who live in the open-air prison known as Gaza are deliberately subjected to undrinkable water, food shortages, energy shortages and bombing campaigns. Those outside Gaza are subjected to racist, violent policing and land seizure and live under a different set of laws than Jewish Israelis. The entire people were forced out of their homes to make way for a new state for reasons that had nothing to do with them, and any attempt to resist this has seen them killed as terrorists.
Of course the attack was provoked.
The real war in Palestine is the war that the Israeli government has been waging against the Palestinian people since December of 1947. If you really want to understand the reality of the situation in Palestine, you must read the blockbuster book The Ethnic Cleansing Of Palestine by noted Israeli historian Ilan Pappe.
Even Israeli government officials are saying that Hamas was deliberately provoked into war by Netanyahu:
An Israeli lawmaker told Al Jazeera on Saturday that his party had been warning that Israeli policies toward Palestinians would erupt into the violence that Israel is experiencing in the wake of Hamas assault.
The comments were made by Ofer Cassif, a member of the Knesset and the leftist Hadash party, which holds four seats in the 120-seat Knesset.
We condemn and oppose any assault on innocent civilians. But in contrast to the Israeli government that means that we oppose any assault on Palestinian civilians as well. We must analyze those terrible incidents [the attacks] in the right context and that is the ongoing occupation, said Cassif, who is Jewish.
We have been warning time and time again
everything is going to erupt and everybody is going to pay a price mainly innocent civilians on both sides. And unfortunately, that is exactly what happened, he added.
Since the Israeli government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu came into power at the end of December 2022, violence against Palestinians has significantly risen, mainly due to an escalation of Israeli raids in the West Bank. Settler attacks have also been on the rise, and Netanyahus governing coalition made expanding settlements a top priority with the ultimate goal of annexing the West Bank.
Gaza has also been under an Israeli-imposed land, sea, and air blockade since 2007, and Israel frequently bombs the besieged enclave. The last major bombing campaign took place in 2021, when over 250 Palestinians were killed.
The Israeli government, which is a fascist government, supports, encourages, and leads pogroms against the Palestinians. There is an ethnic cleansing going on. It was obvious the writing was on the wall, written in the blood of the Palestinians and unfortunately now Israelis as well, Cassif said.
Cassif also urged for de-escalation on X, writing that those calling for the destruction of Gaza are only encouraging another bloodbath. He also strongly denounced the Hamas assault, calling the actions horrific crimes that the mind does not tolerate.
From inside Gaza, journalist Efrat Fenigson reports:
Apparently Israeli Defense forces that were supposed to be around Gaza were placed around the West Bank because of security concerns so the Gaza envelope was left unoccupied with military.
A year ago there was a military operation in Gaza to prepare for such events, and ongoingly there are trainings for these kinds of scenarios. This raises serious questions about Israeli intelligence. What happened?
Two years ago there was a successful deployment of underground barriers with sensors to alert terrorists breaches. Israel has one of the most advanced and high tech armies, how come there was zero response to the border and fence breaching??
I served in the IDF 25 years ago, in the intelligence forces. Theres no way Israel did not know of whats coming. A cat moving alongside the fence is triggering all forces. So this??
What happened to the strongest army in the world?
How come border crossings were wide open??
Something is VERY WRONG HERE, something is very strange, this chain of events is very unusual and not typical for the Israeli defense system.
A point about the situation in Israel in the past few years those who follow me know, that theres a general sense of insecurity in Israel, theres political and social instability, public funds are being misused on agendas such as Covid, climate, judicial reform, abolishing cash and more. The current government is highly corrupt in my view, while the previous one was no better.
I dont care about having a popular opinion, I care about exposing evil forces wherever they are:
To me this surprise attack seems like a planned operation. On all fronts.
This is a failure to protect the people of Israel, for sure, perhaps the biggest failure since the Yom Kippur war exactly 50 years ago, if not bigger. by the way is it a coincidence its exactly 50 years ago, almost on the day? The Yom Kippur War was on Oct. 6th 1973.
If I was a conspiracy theorist I would say that this feels like the work of the Deep State.
It feels like the people of Israel and the people of Palestine have been sold, once again, to the higher powers that be.
Michael Hoffman is Americas preeminent Christian scholar regarding Talmudism and Judaism. He puts things in perspective when he writes:
The Israeli government and military, together with the US government and media, exhibit no concern for the human rights of Arab civilians and no interest in the Palestinian right to self defense. Equal protections for all people are inconceivable to those who are under the influence, if only indirectly, of an ideology of contempt, as disseminated in the hate speech of the supremacist Talmud Bavli:
If a gentile strikes a Jew he is liable for the death penalty.
BT Sanhedrin 58b.
If a Jew kills a gentile the Jew is to go free.
BT Sanhedrin 57a.
Non-Jews are uncompassionate by nature and attacks on them curb their evil inclination.
Torat Hamelech (21st century Israeli settler-rabbinic text based on the Talmud and distributed to members of the Israeli military).
If a Jew needs a liver (transplant) can you take the liver of an innocent non-Jew passing by, to save him? The Torah would probably permit that. Jewish life has an infinite value. There is something infinitely more holy and unique about Jewish life than non-Jewish life.
Chabad Rabbi Yitzchak Ginsburg, Jewish Week (New York), August 26, 1996. (Italics added).
What motivates Israeli war crimes and dehumanization of the Palestinian people?
Hate speech taught in the Talmud, in the Birkat Haminim malediction, in Maimonides Mishneh Torah and Guide of the Perplexed, in the Tanya of Chabad-Lubavitchs Rabbi Shneur Zalman, and in the books and teachings of the modern Talmudic gedolim such as Ovadia Yosef, Yitzhak Shapira (Torat Hamelech), and Rabbi Saadya Grama, (Romemut Yisrael Ufarashat Hagalut, The Superiority of Israel and the Question of Exile) are largely excluded from the study of what motivates Israeli war crimes and dehumanization of the Palestinian people.
These teachings of contempt do real world harm to the captive civilian population of Palestine who are regarded as little better than demons by the Kahanists and Chabadniks in Netanyahus cabinet, in the military and among the settlers (one of the latter was Meir Kahanes follower, Baruch Goldstein, who machine-gunned to death 40 Palestinians at prayer in Hebron in 1994).
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, in a March 10, 2019 post on the social media platform Instagram, boldly articulated the unmistakable racist-supremacist mentality when he wrote, Israel is not a state of all its citizens, but rather the nation-state of the Jewish people and only them. A law to that effect has been passed by the Israeli Knesset (parliament).
This Israeli apartheid doctrine has been verified in lengthy and detailed documentary reports by Amnesty International and Hastings College of Law: Israels Invasion of Gaza in International Law (2009).
as well as by Human Rights Watch, Israeli Authorities and the Crimes of Apartheid and Persecution.
These studies are mandatory reading for all fair-minded people who want to learn the truth behind the Israeli media hype.
Where was Prof. Hansons outcry when thuggish killers of the Israeli army and settlers this year pulled Palestinian elderly, women, and children out of their homes and beat and killed them, and robbed them of their land? The Talmud teaches they are only semi-human (nefesh-deficient), and Hanson shamefully reflects that teaching in his writing.
This year Netanyahus genocidal cabinet member Bezalel Smotrich called for the Palestinian village of Hawara to be annihilated. Netanyahus genocidal Minister of National Security, Itamar Ben Gvir, is a follower of Rabbi Meir Kahane, who advocated the mass expulsion of Palestinians and the killing of those who would refuse. The Israeli government has enabled a reign of terror on the part of the so-called settlers to steal ever more Palestinian land and water, and kill civilians with impunity.
Gaza was invaded by the Israeli military in 2008-2009, with massive loss of civilian Palestinian life. The West forgets everything that the Israelis have perpetrated against the Palestinians and then highlights the terrorism of Hamas in a historical vacuum, lacking all context. Its a rigged propaganda game and one that only has cachet in Europe and America. The Third World doesnt buy it and the Third World is the demographic future.
The state of Israel was founded by terrorists such as the future Prime Ministers Menachem Begin and Yitzhak Shamir, using terrorism to accomplish the creation of Israel.
Hoffmans last paragraph above is proven beyond any shadow of a doubt in Pappes book The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine.
Now, even Republican Senator Marco Rubio (FL) is calling for the complete eradication of the Palestinian people.
Dear God in Heaven, please deliver us from these hate-filled, racist warmongers!
More evidence of the blasphemous/supremacist/warmongering nature of Israels leaders is what Rabbi Chaim Richman said this past Monday:
I just want to say this to our Christian friends
just to call it as it is and say it straight out, you guys are worshiping one Jew, thats a mistake, you should be worshipping every single one of us because we all die for your sins every single day, Richman said, blaspheming Christ. And thats exactly whats going on here. Were all Gods first born and were dying for your sins right now, because the Jewish people in the land of Israel are the bulwark against the Orcs, okay? The orcs are coming not to a theater near you but to your home!
This grotesque supremacy is expressed by Rabbi Chaim Richman, a former director of the Temple Institute one of the extreme Jewish groups whose mission is to build the third temple, Keith Woods noted on Twitter/X. Groups like this are responsible for rising tensions in the holy land, where they have forced Muslim and Christian worshippers out of their holy sites. Supremacists like this have the support of the Israeli government.
In the days before the war broke out, video after video was going viral of Jews in Israel spitting on Christians and attacking them in the streets for preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ and Netanyahus top police official, National Security Minister Ben Gvir, defended their vile acts as not criminal.

But evangelical Christians have been ignoring the truth about Zionist Israeland about what Gods Holy Word really teaches about Israelsince 1948.
What evangelicals further choose to forget is that many of Israels Palestinian victims are Christians.
Ive been to Israel and Palestine. I preached in two churches there: One was in Bethlehem, and the other was in Jerusalem. Over 95% of the Christians in attendance at these services were Palestinians; they were not Israelis.
And Ive got to tell you that the Palestinian people I met were among the kindest, sweetest, most humble, most gentle and most Christ-like people I have ever metanywhere!
Yet, Christians in America cheer and applaud when the atheist State of Israel rapes, pillages, plunders, tortures, bludgeons and murders their Palestinian Christian brothers and sisters.
So, what does the Hamas/Israeli war portend for Bible prophecy? Absolutely NOTHING!
It merely provides another opportunity for Israel to do what its been doing for over 70 years: expand its territorial borders off the bloodshed, violence and death of the Palestinian people.

"By Timothy Fitzpatrick
May 29, 2014 Anno Domini
Its not by accident that there is so much confusion and disagreement within Christendom regarding Bible prophecy, specifically in the Book of Daniel, as it pertains to Israel.
Deep within the voluminous Babylonian Talmud, the holiest and superlative book within the Jewish religion that calls Jesus Christ a bastard and the son of a whore, is a brief rabbinic command and warning to Jews regarding anyone who attempts to understand the Book of Daniels prophecy of the advent of the Messiah, known as the Seventy Weeks prophecy.
Rabbi Samuel b. Nahmani said in the name of Rabbi Jonathan: Blasted (cursed) be the bones of those who calculate the end. For they would say, since the predetermined time has arrived, and yet he has not come, he will never come.[i]
There is a variation of this rabbinic command circulating on the Internet that is falsely attributed to Talmud Law, p. 978, Section 2, Line 28. Regardless, it accurately reads,
May the bones of the hands and the bones of the fingers decay and decompose, of him who turns the pages of the book of Daniel, to find out the time of Daniel 9:24-27, and may his memory rot from off the face of the earth forever.
For those not familiar with Christian Bible prophecy (eschatology: theology pertaining to death, judgement, and the final destiny of mankind), Daniel 9:24-27, which discusses the pivotal final week of Daniels prophecy, has been interpreted for the majority of Christianitys existence as pertaining to the rebuilding of Jerusalem in anticipation of the coming of the Messiah, Jesus Christ, culminating in His death and resurrection, totaling a prophetical span of 490 years. End of story. No gaps, no postponements, no future earthly kingdom, no Jewish theocracy, no Israeli state, no rapture, just 490 consecutive years, fulfilling the Seventy Weeks prophecy. (For a thorough explanation of the weeks, read here.)
DANIEL 9:27 And he (Messiah) shall confirm the covenant ( Rom 15:8) with many ((( https://biblehub.com/matthew/26-28.htm ))), for one week (70th): and in the midst of the week he (Messiah) shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease (by the Cross), and for the overspreading of abominations (of the anti-Messiah Pharisees and Sadducees) he shall make it (the old Temple) desolate, even until the consummation (70AD destruction), and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate (the Temple torn down not one stone remaining upon another).
(((Jesus told them He would kill those who rejected Him and His NEW COVENANT, prophesied in Jeremiah 31:31 ( https://biblehub.com/jeremiah/31-31.htm ), destroy their Temple ( https://www.biblehub.com/matthew/24-2.htm ), and take the kingdom from them, and give it to the Christians. A few more passages: https://www.biblehub.com/luke/19-27.htm / https://www.biblehub.com/matthew/22-7.htm / https://www.biblehub.com/luke/20-16.htm / https://biblehub.com/matthew/21-43.htm / https://biblehub.com/luke/12-32.htm / https://biblehub.com/1_peter/2-9.htm ))) etc., etc., etc.))).
Most evangelical groups have been led to believe that the above passage is talking about some anti-Christ figure instead of Jesus. And consistent with the rabbinic command to obscure the timing of the fullfillment of the Seventy Weeks, evangelical Protestants have no specified dates for the weeks, just that they will be fulfilled sometime in the future. So it turns out that evangelicals are obeying the anti-Christ Babylonian Talmud over the Bible.
(((ATKHWDI: and Let me interject what Cornwallis told George Washington:
"Your churches will be used to teach the Jews' religion." Come to pass!!! I'll post more in a comment below)))
One cant help but think that the new interpretation, which basically twists the scripture to mean that Daniels final week was mysteriously cast off from the preceding 69 (gap theory) and is still yet unfulfilled (postponement theology), is a direct result of the Talmudic command that was foisted onto Christendoms new evangelical movement, resulting in perhaps the greatest heresy of all time: Christian Zionism.
Cyrus Ingerson Scofield: crypto-Zionist who changed America Support for Israel, the Jews, and the Zionist state isnt natural for Christians. It is a heresy that has been learned over the last 100 years as a direct result of the Jewish-Masonic subversion of scripture.
Cyrus I. Scofield brought Judeo-Masonic Englands Puritan-based millenarian heresy to America in the late 19th century, and was helped by Jews like Samuel Untermeyer (his handler?) in creating the Scofield Reference Bible of 1909, which would be used to infuse Jewish-Masonic heresy into Biblical exegesis (interpretation). This reference Bible came with Jewish-Masonic-friendly footnotes side by side with Biblical scripture. The Zionist establishment arranged it so that this reference Bible was the standard among Protestant leaders and teachers. This ensured that the majority of preachers would be in agreement when indoctrinating their unknowing masses with Jewish-Masonic teachings on the future, specifically relating to the idolization of the state of Israel, which would come into existence in 1948, not long after Scofield and his work changed Americas thinking regarding Israel and the Jews, and not long before Americas foreign policy was shaped as a direct result of the false interpretations contained within the Scofield footnotes..."

Old Jerusalem is not the "Holy City". Jesus called it The Whore of Babylon. I could explain it, but don't have time at the moment, and my go-to article on the subject has been taken down along with the site. I hope it was just time to retire. Here's another that looks pretty good, but I haven't had time to study it.
https://whoreofrevelation.wordpress.com/2013/07/16/the-bible-identifies-the-whore-of-babylon-as-jerusalem/
I figured it out at least 20 years ago because I recognized the references to "blue, purple, gold, scarlet, fine linen" from the old testament. I plugged it in to the old blueletterbible and realized Revelation was referring back to the instructions given for the priestly garments, etc. Out of time. One more comment to follow, and that's it for now.
Here's one: https://biblehub.com/exodus/28-5.htm
Please share. It all seems so hopeless when you listen to all the talking heads on lamestream media pumping out lies and propaganda. Meanwhile innocent people are dying on both sides...a LOT of children. I hope someone can wake up the zionized Christians.
