born again OP-ED: POTENTIAL for PEACE

1 Thessalonians 5:12-13

King James Version

12 And we beseech you, brethren,

to know them which labour among you,

and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you;

13 And to esteem them very highly

in love for their work's sake.

And be at peace among yourselves.

It's been 734 days of conflict.

Is there potential for peace?

Will the war finally stop?

President Trump has presented a 20-point peace plan involving Israel, and Hamas.

Will that pull through?

Is it in the works?

What are the reactions, and responses, from both parties?

How has the world reacted, or responded?

What could be glitches?

Will Hamas honor the deal?

As my late brother said, a long time ago, it's not "sold", until, and unless, you have the other party's money "in hand".

As a former entrepreneur, I felt the same way.

Potential buyers can look all they want at my store's merchandise, but until, and unless, they've handed over the money, and I've packed the merchandise for them, given them the receipt, and they go home happy, nothing is really sold.

And then again, there could also be "returns".

Like they're not pleased with the merchandise, and want their money returned.

Or they'd want a replacement.

Thank GOD, only one person wanted a replacement.

To get a larger size, because the blouse was a bit too small for her.

Now, what about a mega-scale plan like the Trump plan?

Will Hamas fulfill their side of the deal, wherein they'll return the 20 living hostages, as well as bodies of the fallen 28, this within 72 hours?

This is scheduled for either Monday, or Tuesday, according to president Trump's announcement in the video above.

There's no doubt about Israel's fulfillment from their side.

The fifth part of the 20-point plan states:

"Once all hostages are released, Israel will release 250 life sentence prisoners plus 1700 Gazans who were detained after October 7, 2023, including all women and children detained in that context. For every Israeli hostage whose remains are released, Israel will release the remains of 15 deceased Gazans."

I follow my late brother's principle.

Unless the Israeli hostages are handed back to Israel, both alive and dead, there's no real deal.

It's only part of the deal, as well.

There are 19 other points to the plan, which need to be fulfilled.

Hamas wants more time to "retrieve" the bodies.

They said they're in several locations.

Is this part of another trick, to delay?

No one can celebrate over any victory.

Everything has been arduous, and painful.

Everything is premature.

We all need to be vigilant.

Anything could go wrong, at any moment.

How does one deal with terrorists anyway?

Prime minister Netanyahu knows how, for sure.

He's been in the thick of it, every single day, as a Jew.

He's also written a book on counter-terrorism, in his early days.

As born again watchman, we pray for peace in Israel.

She has been so maligned, defiled, and hated.

That being the case, you can expect Satan's in on it.

He's mastermind of all that hatred.

So, if you love Israel, you are of GOD.

If you hate Israel, you are of CHRIST's enemy.

It's really as simple as that.

How can you hate a tiny nation?

How can you even think of wiping her out, when she is GOD's chosen nation?

Deuteronomy 7:6

King James Version

6 For thou art an holy people

unto the Lord thy God:

the Lord thy God hath chosen thee

to be a special people unto himself,

above all people that are upon

the face of the earth.

Deuteronomy 7:7

King James Version

7 The Lord did not set his love upon you,

nor choose you,

because ye were more in number

than any people;

for ye were the fewest of all people:

Isaiah 43:21

King James Version

21 This people have I formed for myself;

they shall shew forth my praise.

How can anyone put Israel in a position of defending herself among giants?

C'mon, that's essentially "bullying".

Picking on the "smaller" ones.

This as Israel defends herself on seven fronts around her; and even on an eight front from within her parliament.

The fact she survives all these, you can be sure GOD's Hand stays all those attacks.

Only GOD has the power over ALL battles.

And we truly are all in a spiritual battle.

And we must remember, everything goes according to GOD's plan.

We watchmen remain vigilant, every single moment.

We do not think as the world does.

Romans 12:2

King James Version

2 And be not conformed to this world:

but be ye transformed

by the renewing of your mind,

that ye may prove what is that good,

and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

Neither does GOD conform to any world plan.

Isaiah 55:8-9

King James Version

8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts,

neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord.

9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth,

so are my ways higher than your ways,

and my thoughts than your thoughts.

To get some perspective on the potential for peace, through Trump's plan, and the cooperation of countries like Israel, Qatar, Egypt, and Turkey -- apart from Hamas (not a country) -- and all others involved, here are some useful videos.

You'll find diplomats, generals, and journalists here, all giving their thoughts about the potential for peace, which we hope happens, for too many Jews have suffered.

Too many Gazans (who may not care for war, but only to survive peacefully), have suffered, too.

Of course, we remind everyone, PEACE only comes through JESUS.

He has the final say in it.

Lastly, we thank the HOLY SPIRIT for always guiding our thoughts, and writings, on GOD's ways, the world's ways, and man's ways.
