Hamas make a mistake in doing this. Israel is a tiger, they are no where near Israel. The Jews have no where to go, when cornered, or if they feel cornered, they will not back down. I am praying for both sides, especially for those who are caught in the middle, many more of them will die.
I see there has been skirmishes with Hezbollah in the north of Israel. I am praying for Lebanon and for you and your family.
Yes they are all God's children the poor, poor people and as Pope Pius XII once also said the Jews are our grandparents in the Faith.
The problem in the HolyLand may be that some Jews want to rebuild the Temple on the Mount and certain Evangelical Protestants are encouraging this. This attempt to revive the Old Covenant is a bigk big mistake. I believe God would simply not permit it. As Miker commented today's Mass readings confirm this.
Actually the key to something happening in October may not lie so much in Prophecies and Visions but events in the Church and the Prophetic sense of ordinary Catholic people around the World. Jesus said in Scripture that we should read the Signs of the Times. He would not ask us to do something we could not do. I think very ordinary Catholics who pray have in their hearts some Prophetic sense.That is why so many, many Catholics are looking towards October with great interest. Of course what is going on in the Church tops it off.
Maybe another problem for the Jews and Palestinians is that there is no room in Islam and Judaism for forgiveness . When we forgive we give room for God to act, to break the cycle of death. I exclude the Palestinian Catholics in this, many of them show heroic forgiveness.
I will always consider Israel a prophetic clock because it is biblical and it is in the catechism that the Jewish people will be converted to the Church at the end of time, and for them to convert, they obviously need to exist. I believe that Satan tries to nullify God's purposes, even though they know that they have no power to overcome him. Studying the biblical chronology of the plan of redemption, we see that Satan used King Herod to kill Jesus in childhood, and in the desert, he offered all the kingdoms of the world so that our Lord would abdicate his Divine Ministry. All this he did, knowing that redemption was a plan established by God. I believe that in the same way Satan will try to prevent the conversion of the Jewish people in the end times, presenting the antichrist as the Messiah and finally attempting his destruction.
If it were a test to dispel any accusations of enrichment by the seers, yes, this would serve as proof that at least the seers believe the message. But anyway, this is my opinion, and the church hierarchy would have to determine this. I take any possible enrichment in the name of faith very seriously because when a scandal related to this explodes, many become convinced that God does not exist.
"He who lives by the sword shall die by the sword." Now Israel will persecute and evict more innocent Palestinian civilians...
I am surprised by the media's silence about the risk of terrorist attacks against churches and public places, although any announcement of this is a double-edged sword in the sense of driving people away from the church.
On the face of it, yes... totally. But questions must be asked. Is this one of those planned events, designed to get the protagonists at one another's throats again? And in this particular case, to draw the region into a greater conflict? How did the Israeli defence forces not see this coming? How did their (traditionally very astute intelligence agencies) miss such a huge, attack? An attack that would require massive coordination... Something just doesn't add up in all of this? Some are saying that the weapons left behind by the U.S. government in Afghanistan, are being used to attack Israel.
I'm not sure why they didn't recognize the impending danger on the 50th anniversary of the Yom Kippur War.
They’ve been itching to bomb Iran for quite some time. This horrible war gives them the perfect excuse to finally do it. The last messages for this year mentioned fire in the sky. I think it may be about Israel and Iran.
