The Higher Planning Council of Israel has authorized the construction of 158 new housing units in Maskiyot, a settlement located within the Jordan Valley. Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, a key architect of this land grab, heralded the decision as ‘continuing to build the Land of Israel with deeds, not just words.’ Let it be known that these ‘deeds’ are acts of trespass, built upon stolen inheritance and fueled by the arrogance of Edom.

This expansion is not a matter of providing housing; it is a calculated maneuver to solidify Israel’s grip on territory rightfully belonging to the covenant people of Yisrael. The Jordan Valley holds sacred significance, a portion of the land promised to our ancestors and destined for the restoration of the tribes. Instead, the Israeli regime continues to erect monuments to its own defiance, provoking Yahuah’s righteous judgment.

Smotrich speaks of ‘building the Land of Israel,’ but whose Israel does he mean? Not the Yisrael of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, scattered and exiled for their disobedience. He speaks of the modern state, a political construct built on false claims and sustained by the power of foreign alliances. This is a usurpation of Yahuah’s inheritance, a blatant disregard for the prophetic word that declares a reckoning for those who lay claim to what is not theirs.

The expansion of Maskiyot is a clear sign of the times, a marker of the increasing boldness of Israel in its rejection of the covenant. It is a call to the remnant of Yisrael to awaken from their slumber, to recognize the deception, and to prepare for the coming tribulation. Yahuah will not forever tolerate the desecration of His land. The judgment upon Edom and its allies is swift and sure. This is not merely a political development; it is a prophetic fulfillment, a step closer to the culmination of the ages. Let the shofar sound, warning Yisrael and the nations of the impending storm.
