CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY OCTOBER 30, 2023
HAVE YOU NOTICED WHAT’S MISSING IN THE CURRENT MIDDLE EAST CONFLICT? IT ISN’T WEAPONS. ISRAEL SEEMS TO HAVE PLENTY OF THOSE WITH MORE ON THE WAY.
THE MISSING ELEMENT IS PRAYER AND HUMILITY BEFORE GOD. WHERE ARE THE RABBIS IN ISRAEL FALLING ON THEIR FACES AND IMPLORING GOD TO RESCUE THEM AND KEEP HIS ORIGINAL COVENANT WITH THE JEWISH PEOPLE? THAT ANCIENT COVENANT HAS BEEN REPLACED BY THE NEW COVENANT FOUND IN THE NEW TESTAMENT BUT STILL, GOD HAS PROMISED TO REDEEM A REMNANT IN THE FUTURE.
IN THE OLD TESTAMENT, GOD FIGHTS FOR ISRAEL WHEN THEY DISCARD THEIR FALSE GODS AND HUMBLE THEMSELVES BEFORE HIM. ISRAEL’S VICTORIES IN THOSE CASES WERE MIRACULOUS. NO WEAPON FORMED AGAINST THEM PROSPERED.
GOD WARNED ABOUT TRUSTING IN HORSES AND ADMONISED ISRAEL TO RETURN TO HIM. WHEN THEY DID, HE GAVE THEM VICTORY. NOW – ANYTIME REALLY, BUT ESPECIALLY NOW — WOULD BE A GOOD TIME FOR ALL ISRAEL AND ALL JEWS EVERYWHERE TO HUMBLE THEMSELVES AND IMPLORE A COMPASSIONATE AND HOLY GOD TO DELIVER THEM FROM THE BLOOD THIRSTY ISLAMISTS WHO WANT TO WIPE THEM OUT. IT’S THE CHILDREN OF ABRAHAM VS. THE CHILDREN OF ISHMAEL AND ALWAYS HAS BEEN. I’M CAL THOMAS.
