Awaken Bible Prophecy Update 11-22-23 – The Warning of Israel’s Broken Glass

Those who read or listen to my preaching on this topic today are probably going to be the choir. As you might imagine, people gravitate to Bible teachers they tend to agree with. For instance, I’ll only listen to somebody spouting Replacement Theology nonsense if I’m researching that person; certainly not as a regular diet. I’ve got better things to do than ingest someone’s heresy on a routine basis.

The bottom line for what I say today isn’t a popular position with much of the church, as we’ve seen in recent weeks since the savage, demonic attack by Hamas in Israel on October 7, 2023. In fact, by either its blatant support for the so-called Palestinian cause or by its deafening silence, the church as a whole has outed itself regarding its dislike, and even hatred for, Israel and the Jews. Although I haven’t specifically heard Andy Stanley’s position on Israel or “Palestine” – considering his encouragement that Christians should unhitch from the Old Testament since it isn’t relevant to our faith - I can only imagine where this apostate pastor stands in this crucial matter of our times. If a presumed man of God wants to deep-six the Old Testament, you can know for certain that he isn’t a pastor actually preaching the Word of God. In this case, whatever happened to the “entire Word of God?” Apparently, it's just a dusty old tome that has no meaning to enlightened Christians these days.

I have plenty more ranting and criticism coming in this Commentary because I feel very strongly that God wants some few of us to speak boldly. A little later I’ll also suggest that He may want even more from some of us concerning His Chosen People, the Jews.

This is a critical moment for the church. It’s even more important for individual believers. I’ve said it before and will keep repeating it unless God has me stop: How Christians – and I’m referring here to those who are truly saved – respond to Israel in her need for support from God’s people will determine their fate concerning the soon-to-come Tribulation. This isn’t even a topic the choir likes to hear. You may disagree with my conclusions at the end of this Commentary. However, I urge you to hear what I say by considering it through the lens of Scripture. Don’t believe something just because you heard it from another pastor – even a trusted one. Do your own deep dive so that you fully understand the issue that you’re embracing. Maybe you’ll arrive at the same place you started – but maybe you won’t. Just make sure you have the Biblical basis for what you believe.
