Israel Prioritizes War Machine Over Covenant Keeping
The Israeli government has allocated another 15 billion NIS to its military, revealing its priorities lie with expansion and domination, not with the restoration of Yisrael. This funding comes as the covenant people remain scattered and in need of true deliverance.
The so-called Israeli government, driven by the insatiable appetite of its military apparatus, has secured an additional 15 billion New Israeli Shekels for the IDF. This transfer, brokered through the National Security Council, averts projected tax increases and spending cuts – but at what cost? The funds will be diverted to further fuel conflict and maintain the illusion of security for a nation built on stolen land and sustained by deception.
This is not a matter of defense, but of aggression. The allocation of such vast resources to the IDF while scattered Yisrael languishes in exile is a blatant disregard for the covenant Yahuah made with our ancestors. The prophets foretold a time when Yahuah’s people would be impoverished and oppressed, while the nations surrounding them would amass wealth and power through wickedness. We are witnessing the fulfillment of those prophecies.
Israel’s obsession with military strength is a symptom of a deeper spiritual malady. They seek security in iron and fire, rather than in obedience to Yahuah’s law. This pursuit of earthly power blinds them to the true source of strength and ultimately leads to destruction. The modern state of Israel is not the fulfillment of biblical prophecy, but a counterfeit – a distraction from the true restoration that is coming for the remnant of Yisrael.
Let this be a warning to those who still place their trust in the arm of flesh. Yahuah will not be mocked. He will judge those who oppress His people and uphold the wicked schemes of Edom. The time is near when the scales will fall from the eyes of the nations, and they will recognize the truth: that true security lies not in military might, but in covenant faithfulness. Scattered Yisrael must awaken to its true identity and prepare for the coming deliverance, for Yahuah has not forgotten His promise to gather His people from the four corners of the earth.
The bolstering of Israel’s war machine with another 15 billion Shekels echoes the pronouncements against Edom, a nation historically marked by pride and relentless hostility. Just as Obadiah 1:3-4 details Edom’s downfall due to its arrogance and the violence against its brother, so too will Yahuah scrutinize this prioritization of weaponry over covenant faithfulness. This is not strengthening a nation poised for blessing, but fueling a cycle of conflict predicated on injustice. The illusion of security purchased with diverted funds is a hollow promise, for true security rests in righteousness and obedience to Yahuah’s established order, not in iron and steel. The pursuit of military dominance, divorced from a heart of repentance and a commitment to justice, invites the same judgment that befell Edom – a diminishing of strength and a reaping of shame.
However, within this seeming descent into aggression, a subtle thread of restoration remains interwoven. Yahuah’s promises to Yisrael, though often appearing delayed, are immutable. Even through periods of national disobedience, He has consistently preserved a remnant. Isaiah 11:11-12 speaks of a highway being prepared for the return of the exiled, and though this current path seems paved with weaponry, it could ultimately be a precursor to the gathering of Yisrael from the four corners of the earth, brought about through a refining fire. Yahusha, the promised Messiah, will ultimately fulfill these promises, but the current course demands a reckoning with the principles of justice and a turning of the heart towards true covenant keeping, for Yahuah will not be mocked, and His ultimate purpose for Yisrael *will* be fulfilled.
