NATIONAL PRAYER ALTAR
MARATHON PRAYERS
Monday 9th October – Sunday 15th October 2023
On Saturday 7th October 2023, fifty years after the Yom Kippur war, a globally recognized terrorist group, Hamas, attacked Israel setting off a conflict that could have far reaching consequences. There are speculations that, for Hamas to have breached the security architecture of Israel, they might have obtained help from one of the two countries capable of such a technological breach:
USA and Russia. It is less likely that the US would help the terrorists to attack Israel. Nikki Haley, former US ambassador to the UN, said, “Israel does not need America; America needs Israel.” If Russia had a hand in the terrorist invasion of Israel, the attack by Hamas might turn into a greater conflict. That larger conflict, with Israel and the Arabs as the centrepiece, could provide the grounds for the emergence of the Antichrist.
2 Thes. 2:7-8 reveals that the Wicked one will manifest when the hinderer of lawlessness will “be taken out of the way”. The rapture of the Church signals the last week-year in the prophecy of Daniel (Dan. 9). For the Antichrist to come as a man of peace, there must be a colossal conflict that he will resolve between Israel and its enemies. The world might be heading in the direction of that conflict. Therefore, Christians must be alert to global events as they signal the fulfilment of Biblical prophecies. In addition, Christians must pay attention to personal salvation and ensure that their garment is washed daily in the blood of the Lamb of God.
Rom. 13:11 - "And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed."
