This is October and people are walking around in summer gear!
The weather is warm, it ought to be cold, while we have had heavy rain closing roads and rail way up north, some floods damaging housing etc, down here we are doing OK. This has nothing to do with climate change says a politician holding a bundle of money donated by an oil company. This is just coincidence.
Talking about backhanders, did you note how much leading Labour ministers have received from private health companies? Hundreds of thousands, and the NHS is 'safe in their hands?'
Meanwhile Rishi is doing the unthinkable, he is having an 'event' while the Labour conference continues, something that has not been done before. Do Tories only know how to misbehave?
You may have noticed a war erupt in Israel. I think this has been coming for some time. Whether 'Hamas' visited Iran or Moscow makes no difference, clearly there has been 'outrages' in the region for a while, and bad feeling going back well over a century here. We will not be surprised at this latest battle.
What does a Christian do here?
Do we, as many US do, back Israel unthinkingly? Do we stand up for tortured Palestinians? Do we make an effort to understand the region, or indeed what God is actually doing here?
What we must not do is look on in human manner. We must see this as part of Gods work. However, we do not know what he is doing here, and constant warfare makes many take the easy option of joining one side or another.
The fact that God has returned the Hebrews to Israel is important. Any who try to remove them become an enemy of Gods plan. However, this is not a religious Hebrew nation, some are, many are not. Quite a number see themselves as of the 'Jewish Race' rather than religious. Politically, many are
opposed to the present leadership as they knew this is what would happen, especially while he leads with extreme right-wing types alongside him.
Did they bring this about deliberately? Or was it a reaction from a frustrated people?
You and I cannot tell, though many spout, like me, their opinions.
All we know is we must seek Jesus and be found in him, rather than window gazing in Israel. We seek to 'pray for the peace of Israel,' and seek 'peace in Jerusalem.' We remember that the Hebrews remain Gods chosen people, though Christians now take that place, and God will bring the Jew back when they repent and choose to follow Jesus the Messiah.
In the meantime pray for peace, and do not forget Syria, Ukraine, Sub-Saharan Africa and elsewhere that war exists still.
