Conspiracies are everywhere. We have them in America. They are certainly abounding throughout the world. The latest to see fruition is what is happening in Israel. To my consternation, it appears as if the conspiracies surrounding Israel are greater than I had foreseen. Because of how I view world events through the prophetic lens of Scripture, I anticipated that the war currently underway with Hamas had to happen at some point in these treacherous days. What I didn’t expect was that a conspiracy within Israel itself – within its own government – would play an integral role in the events that are unfolding before our very eyes.

We woke up this morning to the news that Hamas invaded Israel in a significant incursion. As of my writing and reporting on this Saturday afternoon, Israel’s casualties had reached 150 dead and 1000 injured.

Awaken Bible Prophecy Update 3-8-23: Imprecatory Psalms – Curse & Prophecy or No Big Deal?
I think it’s problematic to only view these imprecatory psalms as powerless figures of speech. Doing so, robs them of their impact and also causes people to miss something very important. In fact, this issue affects us today, and what we anticipate happening in the near term in regards to Psalm 83.
