A Statement on the Holy Land War by Fares Abraham: Statement on the War in the Holy Land - Levant Ministries: levantministries.org/holy-land-war/

This brother in Christ was so clear and Christ centered. You can see he is filled with the Holy Spirit.

Praise God for this interview. I pray more Christians will see this.

I pray for all palastinian Christians.

Thank you for sharing this

Christian your allegiance is to Christ; not israel

Thoroughly enjoyed and blessed by this conversation. Thank you, both.

Thank you for this podcast my heart leaped for joy as finally we are addressing this issue from Christ prospective. I heard God's heart's desire in this passage in Isaiah 19:23-25 that he is about relationships not race or world religions. I have been encouraging my Bible study group to be laser focused on equipping for works of service to be salt and light and as brother Fares Abraham reminded us to enter into unfamiliar waters to be fishers of men. Love you Hank and may God continue to sustain you to encourage us through these dark storms.

Much love ❤️ and respect for you and your guest for speaking the truth.

Does he seriously believe war is never justified? Should the Christian world just have prayed that the Nazis come to their senses and not counterattacked and destroyed them? There were many Christian German civilians that got caught up at that time as well.

Followers of Christ are not called to stand in solidarity with Christ-rejecting people, whether it is one nation or state or another. We are called to bring the Gospel of salvation in Christ Jesus to the lost and to pray for them to be saved from the power of sin.

The podcast I’ve been longing for! Thank you Hank!

Thank you for this. Jesus is true Israel, and ALL those in Christ, the Bible calls are true Israel. There is a higher population of Christians in Palestine than Israel (only 1.9% Christian in Israel, and Israel is mostly a secular population of people). Wanting peace for all our Christian brothers and sisters who need peace and to live without fear in all the countries involved is what I pray for, and more to come to Christ. The whole conflict going on in that region is very very complicated. Israel has been apparently violating International laws in many ways for years, something to look up and study, they also apparently originally funded Hamas. Like, and I’m not condoning this, but America has funded terrorists to fight other terrorist, this is apparently what Israel did years ago with Hamas. All this to say, please look into these issues further, because it’s very complicated. The evil and violence on both sides is evil, but this conflict has much history, we must be better educated of this complicated issue. God is not for a piece of land, because Jesus and those in Christ are the Church, He is the temple and His people are the temple. Israel has a part in this ongoing mess. America gives millions in aid to our Ally Israel. US can also call them to account and help end this to not break the agreements they’ve made. Agreements with Israel and Palestine have been broken by Israel. In saying that I’m not condoning Hamas, nor am I condoning the violations Israel have done, continue to do. Listen to a video, A Palestinian perspective on Israeli-Palestinian war. Preston Sprinkle. Learn more, it’s way more complicated than the secular news tells us, and that whole region is a mess, needs our prayers, we have Christian brothers and sisters all over that region suffering.

Did I ever need this video today. Thank you both so much for sharing this Christian Perspective. I’ve been castigated by fellow believers for weeks now. The blood lust of what is happening in Gaza is beyond human comprehension. It’s as if these people want to force a “Rapture” and Armageddon. Everything will happen in Gods timing not man’s. I’ve shared this on my twitter and followed both of your accounts. Hank I’ve listened to you for years and especially enjoyed your Christ at the Checkpoint.

This interview boiled down to a lot of criticism of Israel and ZERO criticism of Hamas. When asked about Hamas' brutal attack in early October this brother claims that he cannot judge if it was right or wrong! Shocking take!

Outstanding

It IS NOT ISRAELS RESPONSIBILITY TO DO ANY THING FOR GAZA - PERIOD = THAT WOULD BE HAMAS' RESPONSIBILITY . USING THAT THEOLOGY - WHY 22 ISLAMIC STATES SURROUNDING ISRAEL - WHY DO THEY ALL REFUSE ! & OF 50 IN THE WORLD - WHY IS IT THEY DO NOT COME TO THEIR BROTHER/ SISTERS AID - DO NOT PUT THIS ON ISRAEL = THAT IS UNGODLY ! PROPER

Hyperbole noted in Mr. Abraham's opening comments regarding the hospital being the "safest place on earth." Unjustified. He never mentions the Hamas tunnels underneath the sprawling facility. Certainly, the Christian and Islamic doctors and nurses would have known about this. Even with a loss of hearing due to my military service as a U.S. paratrooper/infantryman, I can hear construction a hundred meters away. So, there's a disconnect there that the hospital was 100% on the up and up. And during the Yom Kippur War of 1973, I flew to Israel prepared to fight as I was entrusted to do by my government. Thankfully, God intervened and we never parachuted in nor fought. Of course, Mr. Abraham is correct when he states that no political leader will resolve this war. Far too much emphasis is placed on political solutions by the media and its plethora of pundits. This is a spiritual war. As for his statement that the Palestinians had their land stolen, I vehemently disagree. When Hamas or Fatah continuously attacks Israeli citizens on a daily basis, there is a justification to root out the evil. Unfortunately, the innocent do suffer as a result. This is not to say that everything Israel does is right, as it is certainly is not. Moreover, at the 10:40 mark or thereabouts, Mr. Abraham delves into the "discrimination" argument. Really? How many Jews are permitted to live in the West Bank or Gaza peacefully? The answer is very few,. In contrast, numerous Muslims and secular Arabs live in Israel, are permitted to work and also receive hospital care. Consequently, there is more discrimination against Jews (and persecution around the world) than there is with Islam. One need only look at U.S. campuses and the violence and "hate crimes" against Jews. I use the term in quotes because I never knew a crime to have been committed out of love. Mr. Abraham is right when it comes to the gospel. That is our hope as Christians and the hope of the world. He states at the 14-minute mark that he wants to live in peace. That is what we are commanded by Christ to live in, firstly, peace with Him and secondarily, peace with others, whether believers or otherwise. He does err when he states that Palestinians lived in "the area for a long time." Of course, having been born in the West Bank, he is almost obligated to say that, but on a historical timeline, it is patently false. There is no archaeological evidence to back up his false claim. As for transforming the heart, Hank is correct, but we evangelists and pastors, and yes, even lay people, merely plant the seed or water it, and the Holy Spirit does the work. I take no credit when I share the gospel daily to Catholics, JW's, Mormons, Islam adherents et al. To God alone be the glory. Mr. Abraham also is wrong on the just war theory. Of course, we "should turn the other cheek," as Christ admonished. Nevertheless, we have a moral obligation as men of faith to protect our family members and loved ones, as well as others. While I have committed no violent acts for the sake of violence alone as a believer, I have stopped a rape with a modicum of violemce, an armed robbery with the same, captured two robbers of a gas station with a shotgun, and assisted an overwhelmed police officer in Florida in capturing an escaping criminal. To have remained passive regarding the aforementioned would dishonor the LORD. Therefore, it is my contention that Christ never asked us to be weak men, completely passive, nor to look askance from our moral obligations. Finally, I stopped listening after Hank spoke of the church pastor in California who allegedly said, "We know that Christ is coming," as Hank is correct here. We cannot observe prophecy through the news; it is often proven long after the fact. Moreover, nobody knows when the Second Coming is. And Hank is right about the false teaching of the rapture which is an imposition on the Scriptures. Moreover, I do not observe the war as an exciting time but I do advocate for any country to defend itself against enemies, whether foreign or domestic. I'll come back to the video later, as it is time to "go out into the world" and preach the gospel.

As a born-again Christian, 'm sorry to say I'm deeply disappointed with this interview. It provides little historical perspective, but much editorial opinion. It talks about a "cycle of violence" as it makes it seem that there is a state of equivalent violence between Israel and the Palestinians. The reality is that Palestinians initiate horrific attacks against Israel, and then what? Is Israel supposed to take it standing, and not protect its citizens? Fares talks about land stolen from Palestinians. Stolen? Were there no Jews in Palestine (Judea) before 1948? Several surveys taken in the 19th century show the Jewish population of Jerusalem being over 50%. Does Fares deny, as Palestinians do, that Jews were in the land before them? Did not the Arabs living in the land (who renamed themselves Palestinians in 1967) leave in 1948 in anticipation of the Arab league's attack on the Jews? Did not the Jews ask them to stay? Did not the Jews that stay become Israeli citizens, today enjoying the rights thereof. Is it no wonder that those Arabs that did not stay lose their land and property when the Arabs were defeated? And ever since then those Arabs (renamed Palestinians in 1967) have refused to remove the destruction of Israel form their founding charter, and refused every attempt to give them self determination, IF it meant giving up their stated goal of driving Jews to the sea! I sympathize with Fares for those losses caused by the conflict. Are there bad Jews, who may kill indiscriminately? Yes. Is it the stated goal of Israel to drive Arabs (renamed Palestinians in 1967) to the sea? Are Jews sneaking into Arab homes nightly and slashing the throats of Arab families? No! Simply put, the violence is not equal. And saying that there is violence on all sides does a great disservice to the truth. Are Arabs killing other Arabs (Palestinians), are they keeping them from leaving Gaza, are they setting up headquarters in the basements of hospitals, and was the hospital courtyard incident not an Israeli missile but instead a malfunctioned rocket by Islamic Jihad? Fares clearly muddles and does not distinguish the truth about what is happening in the Middle East. There is definitely one thing I agree with him on. This conflict will never be resolved until the Prince of Peace returns. But covering over the truth and expecting Israel to accept its citizens being slaughtered in their homes, or while watching a concert is also not going to bring peace. God bless all believers in the Middle East, and May God open the minds of all involved.

GOD IS NOT ONLY A GOD OF LOVE , TRUTH , PEACE , JOY & JUSTICE - ROM.13 : 3-4

The three angles message is a last day transformative message to the world which has been well articulated in this video

Exactly , humbly surrender our will to GODS , JESUS - PRAY FOR OUR ENEMYS .

God Bless Israel, and all the Jews that will get saved by coming to Jesus as messiah.

Do you have any programs with Israeli and Palestinian believers together?

OK I am a Christian and I live in United States and I’m just really disappointed. I was looking forward so much to hearing what this gentleman had to say because I’m getting so riled up and I guess at least now I understand why he’s not possible being unbiased after watching his mom get shot, but I’m just so tired of nobody speaking the truth about what’s going on andI’m so sad I really put this on in the hopes of hearing some balance but I was disappointed. Anyway, I just had to say my peace I also commend you for what you’re doing and God bless you.

Thank you you 2 men for loving our LORD and obeying His word and the 2 commandments He left for Christians to follow. Sadly many dispensational churches today idealize a particular theology and cheer on the kill and steal and destroy motto. The adversary wants to kill and steal and destroy and that one does NOT have the Holy Spirit and is doomed already. There are children of light and children of darkness. I say to all, be wise and full of the light of Christ, least we be deceived.

Jesus' ancestral grandmothers included at least 4 non-Jews including Moabite, Canaanite, Ammonite, maybe Hittite, etc. So even Jesus had a multiracial ancestry so He was truly Palestinian.

we get beyond the deep-seated political issues in the middle east. But I agree with Fares that the love of Christ transcends all barriers - political, ethnic, religious, etc. I am encouraged by his single-mindedness in this regard. It seems to me that this is how the church exploded in the first century, and have no doubts that the Lord wants to see this in every generation. Christ is our peace.

It’s sad that even among Christians there should be arguments. Our hearts and minds should be Christ-like. Many times we let the flesh and the world influence our thoughts and actions. When we should let the Holy Spirit guide us to what is right. This is what the Enemy wants to create dissension between us as Christians because if we are to busy arguing with one another we are not being used by God for His glory. We are not being the Light and Salt of the world. Jesus spoke strongly in Mark about the coming deception, in that it will be so intense that even the elect might be deceived. God has given us the key to avoid being deceived: the very Word of God. We need to faithfully, daily, immerse ourselves in The Word to know exactly what is truth. The more we fill our minds with truth, the easier it is to spot the deceptions. Always in everything you do and think ask for the guidance of the Holy Spirit, He will not lead you astray. Blessings to all my brothers and sisters. Praying for all those in need wether they be Palestinians or Jews. 🙏🏻❤️

Their land was not stolen. Wow.

We need a Scriptural perspective. People are not normal people as they were meant to be, there is sin in the world, and we will see wars and rumors of wars until the end. What we need to know is that Jews have paid an enormous price for being Chosen to deliver the Message (being the oracles of God) and this is a spiritual battle. So we need to get the Gospel to the Jews in fulfillment of Romans 11. Without clarity on the closing chapters of history, there will always be confusion and continued speculation, rationalization and distortions that lead to departure from the Christian foundations.

hear o isreal the lord is one

sounds very Anabaptist! I have said, there is no difference between a Jew, Christian or Muslim when slugging it out in war.

Why did it take Hank asking you to discuss what happened October 7th? If you are truly nuetral and Christ focused you would have discussed the suffering of both groups right up front.

Hank...what is crazy to me is that if folks overlook that Matthew 24 predicted AD 70, and they believe that it is imminently about to be fulfilled in our times, then how about not contradict Jesus's admonition to His Jewish audience? Jesus said flee to the hills, the church is paying millions to usher the Jews back to Palestine, and to congregate in the spot they know according to their eschatology, is a veritable wood-chipper about to be turned on.

I appreciated this conversation. I don't know how

Is Mr Fares Abraham Eastern Orthodox?

Jesus was ni palestiniam Jew. This is pure Nonsense! There was no Palestine then. It was Jewish Land!

Look at Gaza now.

But life presents us with challenges. King Solomon was brought two women with a baby. They were suing each other for the custody of the baby. Who is the.rightful Mom?

What do you tell Christians that quote Genesis 15:18-21 and say, Israel doesn't "occupy" the land, they "own" it??? Didn't the CROSS change everything? We are New Covenant Christians! ♥

HELLO BROTHERS, REAL JEW IS SOMEONE WHO IS A TRUE FOLLOWER OF CHRIST! A PALESTINIAN WHO IS A TRUE BELIEVER OF CHRIST IS A REAL JEW. AN ISRAELITE WHO DOESN'T BELIEVE ON THE LORD JESUS CHRIST IS NOT A JEW ACCORDING TO JESUS. MR. NETANYAHU, IF HE DOESN'T ACCEPT CHRIST AS LORD AND SAVIOR, HE IS NOT A REAL JEW EITHER, AND I SAY THIS WITH SINCERITY AND BOLDNESS. IN FACT, HE CANNOT ENTER THE KINGDOM OF GOD, UNLESS HE IS BORN AGAIN IN THE SPIRIT. SO BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN PALESTINE, IF YOU ARE A TRUE BELIEVER IN CHRIST AND YOU ARE BOMB BY IDF, FORGIVE THEM, FOR THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING. THESE IS WAR AND PEOPLE DIE WHETHER THEY ARE CHRISTIANS OR NOT. FOR ALL THE CHRISTIANS IN PALESTINE, KEEP LOOKING UNTO JESUS THE AUTHOR AND FINISHER OF YOUR FAITH, YOU ARE THE REAL JEWS!

HAMAS bonbed the hospital as proven by the U S with recording of HAMAS fighters 10:10

Thats not true I checked the stats - ISRAEL HAS 2 CITYS AROUND THE TOP 50 MOST DENSLY POULATED - GAZA DOES NOT HAVE ONE IN THE TOP 100 .

If ypu read the Bible, then you should also read and know Joel 4!

Dispensational premillennialism is a different gospel. It is heresy and Dispensationalists must repent.

The rapture?? You actually believe that nonsense? This is the problem with evangelical Christians. There will be a rapture, a rapture of the wicked. Luke 17:26-37

hear o isreal the lord is one
