The Philistines Again Arise
Greetings dear saints of God and welcome to this Special Edition. Again, Israel is under attack by the Philistines, Goliath lives. This ancient peoples, the Philistines arose from one of Noah’s sons by the name of Ham. This people are thought to have settled in Crete and then migrated to Israel settling in what is today called the Garza Strip. They were known as sea people or voyagers thus it would make sense they would settle in a coastal area of Israel. Goliath was a Philistine.
This current attack on Israel is instigated of Satan and his proxies (surrogates, representatives) including Iran. This is awful, if you have watched any of the news reports, our part is to support Israel unequivocally in our thoughts, words, and actions. Above all pray for Israel, it is a command of God.
Psalm 122:6-9 (KJV)
6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.
7 Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces.
8 For my brethren and companions’ sakes, I will now say, Peace be within thee.
9 Because of the house of the LORD our God I will seek thy good.
Look at what Jesus said about the Jews (of course you know this very well if you follow my teachings).
John 4:22 (KJV)
22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.
Look where the Philistines have placed themselves and the Church which fails to following the commands of the Lord.
Genesis 12:1-3 (KJV)
1 Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will shew thee:
2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:
3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
I want to be in the a portion (blessing) of verse three and not the b portion (cursing) and that is where I want America without compromise. God takes any attack upon His people very seriously and gets involved personally. Even Israel in their fallen state. Church do not hold your peace, do not rest, exercise your authority in the earth on behalf of Israel, the apple of Gods’ eye.
Zechariah 2:8 (KJV)
8 For thus saith the LORD of hosts; After the glory hath he sent me unto the nations which spoiled you: for he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of his eye. (Bold added)
Finally, but not least.
Isaiah 62:1 (KJV)
1 For Zion’s sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest, until the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness, and the salvation thereof as a lamp that burneth.

2 Chronicles 20:20 b (KJV)
20 … Believe in the LORD your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper.
Ecclesiastes 12:13-14 (KJV)
13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.
14 For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.
