Some have suggested that in response to Hamas' terroristic massacre of October 7, Israel needs to retaliate so severely that Hamas (and the Palestinians that allow them to act) will never want to suffer such retaliation again. Netanyahu recently said while declaring the invasion of Gaza: "You must remember what Amalek has done to you, says our Holy Bible." 1 Samuel 15:3 "Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass."
Reading this took me on an emotional roller coaster. The blend of ancient prophecies and current geopolitics is deeply unsettling. To think that leaders might be influenced by these ancient texts is alarming. As a woman, and as someone who values life and humanity, it's agonizing to consider the potential for greater conflict on the horizon, especially when real lives are at stake. Netanyahu's usage of scripture in a political context is poignant, but it also raises concerns. The past can guide us, but shouldn't dictate our present actions. Predictions from figures like Nostradamus and Edgar Cayce feel eerily relevant, intensifying the weight of the decisions leaders make today. I just hope and pray that, amidst these prophecies and interpretations, leaders prioritize peace over fulfilling ancient texts.
