With the military activity intensifying in the Gaza Strip, the Jewish settlers are calling for Israel to launch a ground offensive in the northern Gaza Strip to reoccupy the area of the 25 Jewish settlements that were evacuated in the summer of 2005.
The settler's council says that Israel must clear the area from Hamas terrorists who are manufacturing kassam rockets and launching them into Israel Proper. In a leaflet distributed by the settlers, they addressed the errors of disengagement stating that in spite of the pain over the injustice and terrible mistakes of disengagement, the situation is repairable.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
The call by Jewish settlers in Israel for their government to reoccupy the northern Gaza Strip is a page from the pages of Bible prophecy.
As the conflict in the Gaza Strip intensifies, there is somewhat of a consensus in the body politic of Israel that something must be done to stop the terror attacks and the missile attacks that originate in the Gaza Strip. The Jewish settlers have called for their government to launch a ground offensive into the northern Gaza Strip to reoccupy the area of the 25 Jewish settlements that were evacuated in the summer of 2005. Most Israelis believe that disengagement of the Gaza has been a failure. Ariel Sharon once said that the Jewish settlers that lived in the Gaza had a messianic complex, that they believed that God had given them the land. Now, these Jewish settlers believe that the only way to live safely in Israel is to reoccupy that God-given land.
Bible prophecy seems to agree, as foretold in Ezekiel 36 where God told the Jewish people that He would give them this land and it would be a means for the Jewish people to prosper, which they were doing before evacuation. Ezekiel 35 said that the Edomites - the Palestinian people of today - would kill the Jews and take the land, which also is happening today.
Reoccupying the northern Gaza Strip would indeed be a step closer to the fulfillment of Bible prophecy.
