Zechariah 12:3 “And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.”
Editor's Note: Jim Bakker teaches to watch Israel closely because it is the prophetic timeclock for the unfolding of Last Days events. In Matthew 24, Israel is the fig tree that the Lord told His people to observe to understand the times. It is like a barometer of what is happening in the nations.
Two Americans who went to Israel to defend the country have died in service.
Max Steinberg, 24, from Southern California and Nissim Sean Carmeli, 21, from South Padre Island, Texas, died during ground operations in the Gaza Strip on Saturday. They were two of 13 Israeli Defense Force soldiers who perished in battles with Islamic terrorist group Hamas.
Stuart Steinberg, father of Max, said that his son was a sharpshooter for the Golani Brigade.
Steinberg had moved to Beersheba, Israel after he took a trip to his ancestral homeland in high school. In December 2012, he moved to the country so he could join the Israeli Defense Forces and defend the land he felt was his home.
Steinberg’s brother told the Associated Press that Max had always had a passion for Israel and that he would not listen to anyone who told him not to go and join the IDF. He said that his brother always had a passion for what he was doing in the IDF and was a great example to his family and friends.
We should be honoring people like these, not the terrorism-supporters going over from the U.S. to fight alongside ISIS. I feel bad for this guy’s family. At least though he died in a righteous cause….let’s not allow it to die in vain.
