It's funny (not) when a pastor doesn't know the Bible very well.
Sadly, even SOME Black pastors.
Many of them seem to forget Genesis 11 and 12. Perhaps, not just forget. SOME pastors don't even know where to start. They know very little about the end times. I was just as ignorant as they were until COVID forced me to do an exhaustive study on the "ABC's" of the end times.
But even if one doesn't have a command of the end times, at least have a command of what the Lord had promised Abram and is fulfilled in the children of Israel.
BTW, THE LAND IS CALLED ISRAEL. NOT PALESTINE.
No where in the Bible will you see the Lord call the land of Israel, Palestine.
In Genesis chapter 12, the Lord spoke to Abram and told him to leave his father in Ur of the Chaldeans which is the land of Babylon and go to a place where your descendants will be raised up there and possess the land of Canaan.
Furthermore, in Genesis 15:7 (NKJV)
"Then He said to him, “I am the LORD, who brought you out of Ur of the Chaldeans, to give you this land to inherit it.”
The land of Israel is the Lords and He gave the land to Abram and his descendants.
Psalm 24:1 says "The earth is the Lords, and the fullness thereof. The world and they that dwell therein."
Fast forward to today.
October 7th was the worst day for Israel since the Holocaust between 1938 and 1945. Of course, there was the 1973 war which was a surprise attack during the Sabbath, similar to October 7th, 2023. On that sad day, 1400 Israelis were slaughtered and hundreds were taken prisoner.
The unreasonable reasoning behind the crazy support for the Palestinians is that Israel oppressed the Palestinians, and such oppression by Israel justified the attack by Hamas.
And Israel is wrong for committing genocide in killing Palestinians.
This is utter bird brain nonsense and anyone with half a brain knows it.
Israel sent leaflets in the language of the Palestinians to war the civilians to leave Gaza north and head south. They've warned the civilians to leave. War doesn't happen that way but for Israel, it did.
Israel didn't start this war, but Israel has a justified right to finish it.
Year after year, the terror organizations of the Palestinians attacked Israel with rockets, terror attacks, and other forms of terrorism. Why? The terror organizations of the Palestinians have vowed to destroy Israel completely and take the land from Israel.
Mind you that there's peaceful Arabs that want to just live peaceful lives. In fact, there's Palestinian Christian churches in Gaza. Humanitarian aid and other resources are trickling into the region but Hamas is taking advantage.
Israel was savagely attacked by Iranian backed Hamas terror organizations and enough is enough. Israel is the only nation in the world that has to "defend themselves for defending themselves."
Therefore, just as the prime minister of Israel recounted, in the days when Amalek decided to harm the elderly, the sick, the young, and the weak at the rear of Israel as they were leaving Egypt, the Lord swore that He would have war with Amalek.
Exodus 17:13-16 (NKJV)
"So Joshua defeated Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.
Then the LORD said to Moses, “Write this for a memorial in the book and recount it in the hearing of Joshua, that I will utterly blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven.”
And Moses built an altar and called its name, The-LORD-Is-My-Banner; for he said, “Because the LORD has sworn: the LORD will have war with Amalek from generation to generation.”
The Palestinians is not the descendants of Amalek or of the Philistines but the spirit of Amalek and the Philistines is clearly seen. Study Gaza and Ashkelon, and you will see some resemblance of the battles of Israel with the Palestinians.
Therefore, just as the Lord destroyed Amalek, the complete destruction of Hamas is the correct and justified solution.
As in all wars, collateral damage (deaths of civilians) will happen.
But after WW2, no one said a peep when president Truman ordered two bombs to be deployed that killed thousands of Japanese civilians.
It was devastating, but it brought Japan to its knees and it ended the war in the Pacific.
The other thing that some pastors fail to see is Matthew 24:6-8 (NKJV)
"And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars.
See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.
And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places.
All these are the beginning of sorrows."
All the conflicts around the world is happening just as the Lord told His disciples.
They're "...the beginning of sorrows." For 2000 years, we've been experiencing birth pangs and they're intensifying just as contractions increase in pain on a pregnant woman.
The "birth" of the Second Coming of Christ is near (see Romans 13:11-14).
The removal of Israel out of the land that the Lord gave them is impossible because the Lord had sworn an oath and He will never allow anyone to move Israel out of the land ever again.
Amos 9:14-15 (NKJV)
"I will bring back the captives of My people Israel;
They shall build the waste cities and inhabit them;
They shall plant vineyards and drink wine from them;
They shall also make gardens and eat fruit from them.
I will plant them in their land,
And no longer shall they be pulled up
From the land I have given them,”
Says the LORD your God."
The so called "2 state" delusion will not happen because Israel will not settle for it and no nation has another nation sharing a land or capital. Why make Israel do something that the Lord never intended? Let alone, other nations of the earth?
Acts 17:26 (NKJV)
"And He has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined their preappointed times and the boundaries of their dwellings..."
You want peace? The Prince of Peace is soon to return and He will rule with a rod of iron.
The Lord never promised the promised land to another nation. The Lord is against the untenable 2 state delusion because of His promise to Abraham.
Numbers 23:19 (NKJV)
“God is not a man, that He should lie,
Nor a son of man, that He should repent.
Has He said, and will He not do?
Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?"
Hebrews 6:17-18 (NKJV)
"Thus God, determining to show more abundantly to the heirs of promise the immutability of His counsel, confirmed it by an oath, that by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we might have strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold of the hope set before us."
Therefore, for Black pastors to support a cease fire and to declare that president Biden will lose the election if he continues to support Israel, you have to look carefully at the Biden administration that sent billions of dollars to Iran and the Palestinians to try to force Israel into a 2 state delusion.
Then, the US, after Israel was attacked by Hamas, sent money to Israel to give the appearance that the US supports Israel. It's hypocritical to send money to the enemies of Israel and then send money to Israel, but on the world stage, it's all about the appearance to mask the real intention.
The destruction of Israel.
But the Lord will not allow it to happen.
Finally, the Lord warned us of what will happen in the coming days.
There is coming a day when the nations will surround Jerusalem.
At the end of the great tribulation, the Second Coming of the Lord Jesus Christ will take place.
Luke 21:20-28 (NKJV) “But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that its desolation is near. Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains, let those who are in the midst of her depart, and let not those who are in the country enter her.
For these are the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled. But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days! For there will be great distress in the land and wrath upon this people.
And they will fall by the edge of the sword, and be led away captive into all nations. And Jerusalem will be trampled by Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.
“And there will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring;
men’s hearts failing them from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near.”
Zechariah 14:1-4 (NKJV)
"Behold, the day of the LORD is coming,
And your spoil will be divided in your midst.
For I will gather all the nations to battle against Jerusalem;
The city shall be taken,
The houses rifled,
And the women ravished.
Half of the city shall go into captivity,
But the remnant of the people shall not be cut off from the city.
Then the LORD will go forth
And fight against those nations,
As He fights in the day of battle.
And in that day His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives,
Which faces Jerusalem on the east."
The Book of Mark and the Apocalypse (The Revelation of Jesus Christ) confirms the prophet Zechariah.
Mark 13:24-27 (NKJV)
“But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars of heaven will fall, and the powers in the heavens will be shaken.
Then they will see the Son of Man coming in the clouds with great power and glory.
And then He will send His angels, and gather together His elect from the four winds, from the farthest part of earth to the farthest part of heaven."
Revelation 19:11-16 (NKJV)
"Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war. His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns.
He had a name written that no one knew except Himself. He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God.
And the armies in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, followed Him on white horses. Now out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He should strike the nations. And He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron.
He Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written:
KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS."
SOME Pastors, especially SOME Black pastors need to read up on what the Lord said that's happening before our eyes, and to read up on what's to come, but SOME of them won't.
