Good evening, watchmen. The so-called ‘evening update’ from the mainstream media glosses over the true nature of events unfolding in the region. What they frame as ‘developments’ are, in truth, the manifestations of Yahuah’s righteous indignation against both the usurpers in Israel and the nations who enable them.

The reports confirm a rising death toll in Gaza, a direct result of Israel’s ongoing military operations. These are not isolated incidents, but a continuation of decades of oppression, land theft, and disregard for the lives of the Palestinian people. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) operate with impunity, backed by the power of Edom and fueled by a false claim to sovereignty.

Understand this: the modern state of Israel is not biblical Yisrael. It is a counterfeit, a man-made construct built upon lies and sustained by the wealth and influence of those who oppose Yahuah’s covenant. The true Yisrael—the scattered tribes of the house of Jacob—are in exile, enduring the consequences of disobedience, yet holding fast to the promise of restoration.

This is not a call to celebrate death or destruction. It *is* a call to recognize the patterns of judgment unfolding before our eyes. Deuteronomy 28 lays bare the consequences of covenant breaking, and we witness those consequences playing out in real time. The arrogance of the Israeli government, its relentless pursuit of expansion, and its rejection of Yahuah’s law have brought this crisis upon themselves.

While the world focuses on the immediate casualties, we must look beyond the headlines and see the larger spiritual battle at play. This is a struggle between truth and falsehood, between obedience and rebellion, between Yahuah’s chosen people and the forces of darkness. Let us pray for the awakening of scattered Yisrael, for the exposing of Edom’s schemes, and for the swift fulfillment of Yahuah’s prophetic word. The shofar sounds, and the time of reckoning draws near.
