The War Of Israel Versus Hamas And Signs Of The End Times

Contributed by Benjamin Utomo on Nov 12, 2023

There are two contradictory attitudes among Christians in responding to the war between Israel and Hamas: Pro-Israel or Pro-Hamas. How should we see it objectively and biblically? And what does this war relate to the signs of Jesus's second coming?

The war between Israel and Hamas has lasted more than a month and claimed thousands of lives. Among Christians, there are two contradictory attitudes in responding to this war. The first is pro-Israel. For them, Israel is God's chosen nation, and therefore, they must always support and defend ...read more

Ancient Paths Are Ripped Up And Crooked Ways Prevail Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on May 13, 2024
