Israel Is In A Spiritual War
An Inspirational Devotion From Pastor Brian
June 17, 2025
I want to talk about what’s happening in the Middle East, especially with the nation of Israel. You may ask, “Is this just about politics?” Let me tell you clearly. This is not just a political battle. This is a spiritual war.
For the past 20 months, Israel has been fighting Hamas. They’re also facing attacks from Hezbollah in Lebanon and the Houthis in Yemen. These groups are backed by Iran, and they want to destroy Israel. But this is more than a war between Iranian proxies. It’s a battle against what God has promised in His Word.
You see, Israel is not just any nation. Israel is biblical. God gave the land of Israel to the Jewish people. The Bible says Jesus will return to the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem. Satan is doing everything he can to stop that from happening, but he won’t win. Bible prophecy cannot be stopped.
Let me read a few verses from Revelation 12:
“A great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun... She was pregnant and cried out in pain as she was about to give birth... Then another sign appeared: a huge red dragon... The dragon stood in front of the woman who was about to give birth, so that it might devour her child the moment he was born.” (Revelation 12:1–5)
In these verses, the woman is Israel. The child is Jesus. The dragon is Satan. This shows us that Satan has always wanted to stop God’s plan. But he didn’t stop Jesus before, and he won’t stop Him when He comes again.
This is why we must pray and understand what’s really happening. This is a spiritual war.
Until next time, remember to take time out for God, because God always has time for you!
Sticky Statement:
What looks like a war in the news is really a war in the spirit.
Questions To Think About
Prayer For Today:
"Dear Lord, thank You for showing us the truth through Your Word. Help us to see the battle going on around us. We pray for the people of Israel. Please protect them and give peace. Remind us that You are in control and that Jesus is coming back soon. Help us to be ready. In Jesus’ name, amen."
Thank you for sharing this devotion with your friends.
