Continuing to inform, educate, and activate Christians in their support for Israel and the Jewish people, welcome to The Red Alert’s News to YOU
Today marks 270 days since Oct. 7, 2023. (To see the stories of many of the hostages, go to Bring them home now : Israeli hostages taken by Hamas. Use this as a forum to pray over the captives and pray for their families).
Think about what you may have experienced in the last 270 days. A birthday or anniversary? All your favorite holidays? Maybe a baby has been conceived and born in your family in these 270 days! While we continue to mark our calendars with accomplishments, to-dos, and tasks, the hostages are living in torturous conditions, likely lacking any sense of time with birthdays and anniversaries passing by while family and friends aching at their absence and we all fear for their well-being. The captives are certainly feeling the breath of all earthly evil in their midst while we stand by and witness it on full display. Please continue to pray for them—that God’s spirit will comfort them. Please pray for world leaders and Israeli leadership as they use attempts at diplomacy to return the captives to their families. Please pray for the security forces in Israel as they work tirelessly despite their own trauma and suffering.
This week North Americans are celebrating independence days—Canada celebrates July 1, and the United States celebrates July 5. We celebrate independence from tyranny and oppression. We celebrate the recognition of freedom and the Judeo-Christian biblical tenets of just governments and God-given rights.
Let us remember that as our freedoms were pursued and achieved by the sacrifice of many faithful men and women, and re-solidified each generation afterward, we sit in a unique place in history with news at our fingertips and information overload. Not only has freedom of the press and speech been bent to its furthest extreme, but the “press” is no longer inherently trustworthy. We now watch blatant, unashamed calls for the genocide of the Jews all over North America. And yet, the press chooses what to analyze and our politicians select what is even worth a conversation.
Enjoy your Independence Day Holiday, but please keep the captives in Gaza in your prayers and continue to pray for the peace of Jerusalem as all Israelis continue to face risk from multiple hostile fronts as well as worldwide attacks with social media propaganda, biased news, faulty academics, and ill-informed masses. Do not allow your freedom to devolve into a lack of active pursuit of truth.
