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.
A rocket struck Southern Israel on Friday according to officials with the Israel Defense Forces, the first strike by Palestinians on Israel using rockets since September.
The strike in the Eshkol region set off the air raid sirens but the rocket landed in an open field causing no damage or injuries.
The strike came as Palestinians attacked Israeli forces at a West Bank checkpoint near the village of Turmus Aya. The IDF reported no injuries as a result of the attack.
The village where the assault from the Palestinians took place is where a Palestinian Cabinet minister collapsed and later died. The Palestinians claimed an Israeli soldier hit him when an autopsy showed that he actually died from a heart attack.
In the midst of the Palestinian attacks, the IDF announced they were going to allow Christians in the West Bank to visit their relatives in the Gaza Strip. They said it was a goodwill measure for Christians during their holy days.
