Interesting and enlightening reading for those who blithely proclaim that the Israelis can’t lose because ‘God is on their side’...

The Israelites - the Chosen People - were overrun by their enemies and scattered a number of times in their history..

I pray that today the strength and resolve of Israel and its erstwhile allies will be enough to prevail, but there is the possibility (with historical precedent) that this may be the beginning of another period of scattering and testing...

This isn’t even really an opinion - just a cautionary note about the arrogance, and futility, of ‘assuming knowledge of God’s Plan’ before it unfolds...

Yes, we know the final outcome but not the detail of the twists and turns that lie on the road.

I pray for Israel.
