Yep, you nailed it … “Jerusalem is a burdensome stone for all people” (Zechariah 12:3) … “a cup of trembling unto all people round about” (Zechariah 12:2). I have thought off and on, it looks like a spear. Amir Tsarfati: Happy 74th birthday prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu! (Numbers 6:24-26) New York Times: Despite Israel's demand, no one checked what was really in the humanitarian aid trucks and if there were no weapons there. If you turn the cake I’m turning 15 today! Sad birthday during wartime with a daughter in the frontline and half of the family away. In an unusual move, the European Parliament condemns Hamas, says it must be 'eliminated': The European Parliament passed a non-binding resolution on Thursday calling for the Iran-backed Hamas terror organization to be “eliminated” following the gruesome Hamas massacre on Oct. 7. The resolution was passed by an overwhelming majority (500:21) of the parliamentarians in favor. In its resolution, the European Parliament condemned “in the strongest possible terms, the despicable terrorist attacks committed by the terrorist group Hamas against Israel and expresses its support for the State of Israel and its people; reiterates that the terrorist organization Hamas needs to be eliminated.” Furthermore, the parliamentarians ask for the “unconditional release” of the more than 200 hostages held by Hamas in Gaza, including babies and elderly people, noting that their abductions constitute a war crime. The European Parliament noted that the EU Commission, the unelected executive body of the European Union, had been sending mixed signals as one commissioner first decided the EU would cease to provide Gaza with aid, only for that decision to be immediately reversed. Not only that, but the EU Commission then decided to triple its aid to Gaza. https://allisrael.com/in-unusual-move-european-parliament-condemns-hamas-says-it-must-be-eliminated Thousands of ultra-Orthodox request to join IDF in war: New recruits to serve in support roles such as medics and search and rescue; 120 will be drafted on Monday and IDF says this is a dramatic decision in the Ultra-Orthodox society. Some 120 ultra-Orthodox men will join the IDF next week and thousands of others have requested to do the same, while Israel is fighting a war in Gaza and may be forced to fight Hezbollah in the north as well. The unprecedented move by 3,000 from the Haredi sector reflects a change that had not been seen before. The ultra-Orthodox have historically been exempt from military service under pressure from their political representatives in the Knesset and in the coalition, who say that the role of the Haredi man is to study the Torah and not to enlist. This has been a point of contention in Israeli society where service in the military or national service in the community is compulsory and most Israelis enlist in the IDF at 18 for a three-year service for men and a two-year service for women. The military also decided to recruit ultra-Orthodox volunteers to have more 'working hands'. These recruits will not undergo basic military training, but a quick enlistment process. Those young people will be recruited to fill administrative positions and will help facilitate the funerals for the fallen and murdered, accompany the families of the victims and fill roles in the logistics department. The IDF says that they are swamped with requests from Ultra-Orthodox to enlist, and recognize a historic opportunity to integrate them into army, civilian, or security service frameworks, which is why they are acting quickly. Israeli Cabinet approves measures to shut down ‘Al Jazeera’ news bureau: “Israel is at war. … We will in no way allow broadcasts that harm the security of the state,” said Israeli Communications Minister Shlomo Karhi. The Israeli Cabinet approved emergency regulations on Friday to temporarily shut down the Al Jazeera news network’s operations in the country. The measures will enable authorities to order television providers to stop broadcasting the outlet; close its offices in Israel; seize its equipment; shut down its website; and revoke press credentials for staff. “Israel is at war. On land, in the air, at sea, and in the mind. We will in no way allow broadcasts that harm the security of the state,” said Israeli Communications Minister Shlomo Karhi, who initiated the move. “Al Jazeera’s broadcasts and reports constitute incitement against Israel, serving Hamas-Daesh [ISIS] in propaganda and encouraging violence against Israel, thereby actually harming the security of the state,” he added. Al Jazeera is accused of endangering Israeli soldiers by exposing details of where forces are assembling. The Mossad has backed Karhi’s effort, saying the Arab news channel is a threat to Israel’s security. Starts @ 1:33 We’re at the very cusp of the rapture.

The news from Israel is far from being good yet. We must all remember that this nation’s future has already been determined!
Hamas may think it can decide on Israel’s future but the Word of God in general and the book of Daniel in particular give us the most detailed prophetic outline on the destiny of Israel.
