Last Friday, Yisrael Beytenu leader Avigdor Liberman wrote on X that "For years, Netanyahu nurtured Hamas, and today, we are all paying the price" (ref. 1). Apparently, in 2011, Liberman opposed Netanyahu's decision to release Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar and another 1000 plus terrorists in exchange for the IDF soldier that Hamas kidnapped Gilad Schalit (ref. 1). Sinwar, of course, would turn out to be the mastermind of October 7. Furthermore, in 2016, Liberman again as defence minister warned Netanyahu that Hamas was already planning to infiltrate Israeli territory, seize communities, and even "take hostages" (ref. 1). "Time after time", Netanyahu refused his suggestion of targeted strikes against Hamas leaders, said Liberman. Instead, Netanyahu decided to adopt a policy of "arrangement": Netanyahu let Qatar give thousands of dollars to Hamas, hoping that Hamas would change its ways as it got richer (ref. 1). But of course, with hindsight, we know that Hamas used those funds to build an army of terror and to construct the many tunnels of Gaza.
I suppose it is also fitting that Netanyahu agreed to Donald Trump's plan to turn Gaza into a Riviera of the Middle East when he did. At the time, I did say that that was the fulfillment of the prophecy of Israel making a "covenant with death" and an "agreement with hell" per Isaiah 28 (ref. Isaiah 28:15-18). Because in these last days, America is Mystery Babylon, the prophesied 8th kingdom of Satan (ref. Revelation 17:11). Regarding Netanyahu and others like him in Israel - presumably there are others - notice Isaiah 28:14 begins as follows: "Wherefore hear the word of the LORD, ye scornful men, that rule this people which is in Jerusalem".
Wherefore hear the word of the LORD, ye scornful men, that rule this people which is in Jerusalem. Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves: Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste. Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place. And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it.
Isaiah 28:14-18
Now, there is also Isaiah 56 to consider, something that I have only thought about recently, after a 5.6 earthquake in Queensland, Australia a few days ago. In Isaiah 56, God says his current watchmen of Israel are "blind" spiritually speaking, "ignorant", "filled with strong drink", and are even "dogs", "dumb" and "greedy" - dogs in the sense that they have become like the Samaritans of old, having embraced the ideas and ways of Satan, who is a cherub, an angel that resembles a dog.
His watchmen are blind: they are all ignorant, they are all dumb dogs, they cannot bark; sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber. Yea, they are greedy dogs which can never have enough, and they are shepherds that cannot understand: they all look to their own way, every one for his gain, from his quarter. Come ye, say they, I will fetch wine, and we will fill ourselves with strong drink; and to morrow shall be as this day, and much more abundant.
Isaiah 56:10-12
Presumably, these human Jewish watchmen are meant to contrast "the stranger" and "the eunuchs" - a eunuch being a metaphor for a saint, since every saint is a man and a virgin, someone without children and descendants.
Neither let the son of the stranger, that hath joined himself to the LORD, speak, saying, The LORD hath utterly separated me from his people: neither let the eunuch say, Behold, I am a dry tree. For thus saith the LORD unto the eunuchs that keep my sabbaths, and choose the things that please me, and take hold of my covenant; Even unto them will I give in mine house and within my walls a place and a name better than of sons and of daughters: I will give them an everlasting name, that shall not be cut off.
Isaiah 56:3-5
Some months ago, I watched an ABC report about the October 7 attack on Kibbutz Be'eri, and how on that day the IDF, or at least Israeli intelligence, failed the people of Israel that came under attack. Now, in light of Isaiah 56:10-12 - a prophecy of the failings of the watchmen of the nation Israel - but also given Liberman's latest revelations about Netanyahu propping up Hamas all these years, which is not actually news but is news to me, this documentary has become more interesting. On October 7, at Kibbutz Be'eri and other places like it, no organised help came in time. It was left to individual IDF soldiers and armed Israeli civilians to take matters into their own hands.
The border outpost at "Nahal Oz" (notice the "Oz") saw the beginning of the first attack, at 6:28 am. A 19 year old surveillance soldier, Roni Eshel, sounded the alarm, broadcasting the code-phrase to the IDF, "All stations, a full Turkish horseman, receive!" (ref. 2).
An official review of the battle for Nahal Oz showed that that there was a "systemic failure". Among the 162 IDF troops stationed there, 90 were armed, but still, the first wave of 65 Hamas gunmen was not repelled and Hamas was even able to abduct a small number of IDF soldiers from that base (ref. 3).
Reportedly, Hamas operatives activated SIM cards that work through Israeli networks around 9 pm the night before, and then another batch suspiciously became active at 2:45 am. At first, Shin Bet disregarded it (ref. 4). But around 3:30 am, the IDF Chief of Staff was alerted, a situational assessment was called for, and then at 4:30 am, Shin Bet convened and prepped a special "Tequilla" team, comprising of some Shin Bet fighters and Yamam counter-terrorism police, to counter what was thought to be a small, localised Hamas raid (ref. 4). The situational assessment and planned response turned out to be completely wrong. Starting at 6:28 am that day, some 5600 terrorists stormed across the border at various locations. It was a full on invasion. They massacred about 1200 Israelis, and took 251 hostages back to Gaza. It was only hours later that the IDF organised a proper force to stop the breach and expel Hamas.
Was it really a case of bad luck, or even professional negligence? Or, given Isaiah 56, might there have been some sort of treachery, due to demons? By that I mean, the "dogs" that "cannot bark" thing!
His watchmen are blind: they are all ignorant, they are all dumb dogs, they cannot bark...
Isaiah 56:10
Nevertheless, it is interesting that the IDF code-phrase for a breach included "Turkish" and "horseman", because the forthcoming Antichrist, whom I say will do a round 2 of October 7 a few years from now, will be a part Turkmen and he will be the prophesied rider of the pale horse of the apocalypse, the horseman of the fourth seal.
And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see. And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.
Revelation 6:7-8
In time to come, in this final war of mankind, and certainly towards the end, the IDF will do "valiantly" (ref. Numbers 24:18). The Bible prophesies that when the archangel Michael enters the fight, even the feeble among the people of the nation of Israel will be as David.
... and Israel shall do valiantly...
Numbers 24:18
In that day shall the LORD defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and he that is feeble among them at that day shall be as David; and the house of David shall be as God, as the angel of the LORD before them.
Zechariah 12:8
But on October 7, clearly something went wrong. The watchmen of Israel at that time - humans in the IDF and the government - did not do their jobs as they were supposed to, and among them, as Isaiah 56 prophesies, must have been "dogs" that did not bark. Again, the word "dog" is a metaphor from the Bible of someone that has something to do with Satan, a cherub, which is an angel that looks like a dog. When it mattered, these humans did not "bark" because either they were under the influence of demons, or else they are on the side of Satan!
Regarding my remarks on Isaiah 28 and Isaiah 56, notice 2 recent earthquakes in Australia, a magnitude 2.8 (ref. 5) and a magnitude 5.6 (ref. 6).
