The word Gaza is used exactly 19 times in the KJV – the number for destruction. The Philistines were the sworn enemy of Israel in the Old Testament and were not only destined to destruction numerous times within the text, but also brought much destruction to Israel.
As of this writing, the IDF have started a final ground maneuver to take the city of Gaza. The fate of Gaza is coming to a head; something has to give. Much of northern Gaza has already been destroyed and huge numbers of Gazans have left the northern Gaza Strip and Gaza City heading south to the Rafah border with Egypt. However, the Egyptian army is staged there as they do not want the Gazans coming into Egypt. The staging of military at the Rafah border is a direct violation of the Israeli-Egyptian peace treaty from 1979. Although this is not the first time Egypt has done this, they are known biblically as a “broken reed” to Israel and are not to be trusted. Egypt’s destruction is yet to come for their betrayal against Israel.
2 Kings 18:21 Now, behold, thou trustest upon the staff of this bruised reed, even upon Egypt, on which if a man lean, it will go into his hand, and pierce it: so is Pharaoh king of Egypt unto all that trust on him.
Ezekiel 29:6 And all the inhabitants of Egypt shall know that I am the LORD, because they have been a staff of reed to the house of Israel.
While not to make too big a deal of it, there is a Blood Moon coming September 7th, and it is visible by Israel. Shall this be a warning of what is to come?
Two days later, the 80th session of the United Nations General Assembly opens on September 9, 2025, and runs through September 8, 2026, at UN Headquarters in New York City. Interpret it as you will, but the theme for this session is “Better Together: 80 years and more for peace, development and human rights.” We know that 8 is the number for new beginnings, specifically mentioned in their theme and the 80th session. Then, French President Macaroni had confirmed in a tweet the committee for recognizing a Palestinian state will be held on September 22 in New York. September 22nd is the evening before Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year.
The world is quickly turning against Israel as prophesied. Here is a sample of what countries are saying.

Looking for that Blessed Hope!
