Wow, John. What an amazing catch. Of course October 7th was a snare! A trap. What an eye opener you have brought to the fore! This war will wear down the Israeli army - it will wear down the courage and fortitude of the Jewish people. So that by the time the evil enemies of God are ready to launch Ezekiel 38, the Israeli people will have been weakened and exhausted. Brought down, physically and spiritually by the war as well as wretched, disgusting world opinion. World opinion that Israel should not care about, yet, bizarrely, they do. But, as Almighty God has signalled, in scripture, this is what it will take to bring the Jewish people to return to Him. As the Chosen people - they have been chosen to be an example to all mankind. This is what happens when you don't obey God. Full Stop. Yet, they are the Apple of His Eye. His joy. Israel are His own. God forbid that anyone else denigrates Israel and the Jewish people.

PS: It has just occurred to me that Israel is known as the Apple of His Eye. New York is known as the Big Apple. Many, many Jewish people reside in New York - the Big Apple.
