Gazan rockets hit deep in Israel, minister sees war

We pray for the peace of Israel, Jerusalem and for all the other middle-east nations, as we are told to do in the book of Psalm (chapter122:6-9). However the prophecies of the bible will be fulfilled within God's time-line. One of those prophecies is the much discussed Psalm 83 war which warns that the Arab Muslim neighbors of Israel will come together in an attempt to destroy the name of Israel forever. That prophecy is looking ever closer to occurring.

The Obama administration's policy of cozying up to the Muslim world at the expense of a long time ally, (Israel), along with the recent announcements of the recognition of a new Palestinian state from nations around the world, and the general unrest and upheavals in the middle-east have all emboldened the enemies of the Jewish state. Israel is now coming under attack from rocket launches and terrorist attacks, under the direction of Iran. Israel is also watching Syria in the event the Syrians attempt to cause similar provocation along their shared border in an attempt to draw attention away from increasing civil unrest in Syria.

It seems that the enemies of Israel are just itching to attack. Just how much longer before something really explodes between Israel and her neighbors is a question we simply can't answer. That's why we continue to pray, knowing just what is soon to come:

See how your enemies growl, how your foes rear their heads. With cunning they conspire against your people; they plot against those you cherish. “Come,” they say, “let us destroy them as a nation, so that Israel’s name is remembered no more.” Psalm 83:2-4 NIV

From the news articles:

Palestinian rockets struck two cities deep in Israel on Wednesday, wounding a resident and prompting a deputy to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to call for a new offensive against the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip.

A woman of about 60 was killed and dozens of people were wounded Wednesday afternoon after an explosive device was detonated in a phone booth near the Jerusalem Convention Center.

Palestinian missiles, rockets and mortar shells fired from the Gaza Strip have rained down on Israeli towns and villages relentlessly for the past ten days. The mayor of the Negev city of Beersheba ordered schools to remain closed Wednesday, March 23, after the second heavy (Iran-supplied) Grad rocket in a month hit a residential district, injuring five people and causing heavy damage.

The Israel Defense Forces is readying for the possibility that Syria might create a provocation along the northern border to divert attention from the growing protests against President Bashar Assad's regime. Nevertheless, the defense establishment views this as unlikely.

Iran ordered Hamas to fire the massive barrage of rockets launched from the Gaza Strip at Jewish population zones in recent days, according to a senior Israeli security official.
