October 7th Attack on Israel Much Worse Than Originally Thought

Warning: The following information will most likely be very hard for most to hear. If you are the type of person who is easily upset, please reconsider reading this post. It could be too much for some people to take.

“Hamas launched this war by perpetrating the worst savagery our people have seen since the Holocaust. Hamas murdered children in front of their parents. Murdered parents in front of their children.” – Benjamin Netanyahu, Prime Minister of Israel, October 30, 2023

For 2,000 years, people of all nations and all races have made it a practice of hating Jews. It really is appalling once a person thinks about it, for all our proclaimed advancements and enlightenment. But really we’re still following in the footsteps of our fathers and grandfathers, who made up reasons to hate the Jews.

There is one group of people in the Bible that is so heinous, so evil, so despiteful that God mentions them more than any other group: Edom. No other group of people on the face of the earth today has sparked so much anger and revenge than the Edomites. And who are these Edomites today? Palestine.

In biblical prophecy, Edom (the nation descended from Esau, Jacob’s twin brother) is frequently singled out for exceptionally severe judgment. While many neighboring nations face prophecies of destruction, the pronouncements against Edom are uniquely harsh, focusing on complete desolation and a lack of restoration.

Betrayal of a Brother

The primary reason given for Edom’s judgment is their violence, malice, and lack of brotherhood toward Israel (Jacob).

  • Gloating and Plundering: When Jerusalem was destroyed (most notably by the Babylonians), Edom did not just watch; they rejoiced in Israel’s downfall, actively intercepted Hebrew fugitives to hand them over to their enemies, and plundered their wealth.
  • Perpetual Hatred: Prophecies describe Edom as harboring a “perpetual hatred” or an “ancient enmity” against Israel, refusing to let go of the ancestral grudge between Esau and Jacob.

This matches up so closely with the current feeling of Palestinians toward Israel it cannot be anything except prophecy. From the time Palestinians are children they are taught institutionalized hatred of the Jewish people. It is nothing short of futility as far as I am concerned to try to broker peace between these two entities. Palestinians are condemned by God himself; even He doesn’t see a way of reconciling these two peoples.

Complete and Total Desolation

Unlike prophecies for countries like Egypt or Moab, which sometimes include a promise of future restoration or a remnant surviving, the judgment on Edom is absolute.

  • A Perpetual Wasteland: The land is prophesied to become a barren desert where no one will pass through, populated only by desert animals, wild owls, and ravens.
  • No Restoration: Prophecies explicitly state that even if Edom tries to rebuild its ruins, God will tear them down, leaving them permanently devastated.
  • No Mercy: Because they cut down Hebrew fugitives, they will be cut down.
  • An Eye For An Eye: Because they plundered, they will be completely ransacked by their own allies and stripped bare.

The shortest book in the Old Testament, Obadiah is dedicated solely to the doom of Edom for their behavior during Jerusalem’s fall. Isaiah 34 uses incredibly vivid, apocalyptic imagery to describe the “sacrifice in Bozrah” (a chief city of Edom), where the land is turned into burning pitch and brimstone. Malachi 1:2-4 contrasts God’s choice of Jacob over Esau, famously coining the phrase that Edom will be called “the Territory of Wickedness” and the people with whom God is angry forever.

Warning: The Following Content May Be Disturbing

On May 12 of this year, a report was issued by The Civil Commission on October 7 Crimes by Hamas Against Women and Children. This is an independent Israeli non-governmental organization made up of international law experts, legal scholars, and activists, led by international law expert Cochav Elkayam-Levy. This report was titled, “Silenced No More: Sexual Terror Unveiled – The Untold Atrocities of October 7 and Against Hostages in Captivity”

It is the culmination of a extensive two-year independent investigation. The findings are based on the review of more than 10,000 photographs and video segments (over 1,800 hours of visual footage), alongside 430+ testimonies from survivors, witnesses, first responders, medical personnel, and released hostages.

The 290-page report systematically identifies 13 distinct patterns of gender-based and sexual violence. It concludes that these acts were not isolated incidents but a widespread, systematic operational method that constitutes war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocidal acts under international law.

The Specific Allegations

The 290-page report identifies 13 distinct recurring patterns of violence across multiple sites. These including residential kibbutzim, the Nova Music Festival, roadsides, and public shelters. The specific claims and atrocities documented include:

  • Systematic Sexual Terror: The report concludes that sexual violence was not accidental or isolated, but a deliberate, organized tactic used as an operational method of warfare to terrorize Israeli society.
  • Sexual Torture and Mutilation: Graphic documentation of victims enduring extreme physical cruelty, including gang rape, intentional burning, bodily mutilation, and forced insertion of objects into the genitalia.
  • “Kinocidal” Sexual Violence: A term the commission uses to describe violence specifically targeted at destroying the family structure. This included forcing family members to witness the execution or sexual degradation of their loved ones. In at least one documented case, coercing hostages into performing sexual acts on one another.
  • Postmortem Desecration: Evidence of sexual abuse, undressing, and mutilation performed on corpses after execution.
  • Targeting of Male Victims: The report notes that these acts of sexualized torture were not restricted to women and girls; men and boys were also systematically subjected to sexual violence and abuse.
  • Prolonged Abuse in Captivity: The investigation highlights that these extreme forms of gender-based violence did not end on October 7. Incredibly, they continued systematically against both male and female hostages held in Gaza.

Hamas Used Go Pros and Body Cameras

The report extensively highlights how Hamas and its collaborators weaponized digital and social media as a form of psychological warfare.

  • The Use of GoPros and Body Cameras: Terrorists wore GoPros, tactical body cameras, and utilized smartphones to systematically record, livestream, and document their actions in real time.
  • Weaponizing Victims’ Technology: In multiple instances, perpetrators used the victims’ own phones or hijacked their personal social media accounts to stream live executions, abuse, and humiliation. These videos were streamed directly to the victims’ families and friends.
  • Amplifying Terror: The commission treats this digital recording not just as propaganda, but as an extension of the physical violence itself. Designed intentionally to maximize the psychological trauma of relatives and the broader public. In essence, effectively treating the bodies of women and victims as “trophies of war.”

Meanwhile, In America…

Here in the USA, democrats, liberals and even politicians fill their eyes with crocodile tears over the plight of the “oppressed Palestinian people”. The lies Palestinians tell about Israel are swallowed hook, line and sinker, because the world hates the Jew. And just as the Bible predicted, and as we see Americans hop in bed with Islam and sleep with Palestinians. Their willingness to be deceived is truly remarkable.

But make no mistake about it. Those who sleep with the enemy will also endure the wrath with the enemy. In three different places in the Bible, God specifically mentions those who allied themselves with Edom, and spelled out their fate. In Jeremiah chapter 25, Jeremiah is commanded to take the wine cup of God’s fury and make all the nations drink from it. Edom is listed explicitly alongside her neighbors and allies (including Moab, Ammon, and the kings of Tyre and Sidon). The text implies that those who shared in Edom’s sins and anti-Israel alliances will ultimately drink from the exact same cup of desolation.

Palestine has partnered with Satan himself. They are his children and their god is Satan. Their hatred for the Jews runs so deep within them that they have turned themselves over to his control. And the warped, evil, depraved world has molded themselves right along with it. One of the most disgusting things I have ever witnessed in my life was the man Yasser Arafat.

The Terrorist Who Was Invited To The White House

Yasser Arafat was one of the most depraved, evil individuals ever to walk this earth. The only difference between Arafat and Hitler was the fact that Hitler had the power to carry out his wishes against the Jews, while Arafat did not. Still he tried his very best to wipe every single Jew from the face of the earth.

Yet in 1994, Yasser Arafat was given the Nobel Peace Prize. This is a man who ordered suicide bombers to attack Israeli school buses. This man, despite his heavy insistence he was not involved, was proven to be part of the ‘Black September’ terrorist group, and had a hand in planning the 1972 attack on Israeli athletes during the Olympics in Munich Germany. This infamous event has since become known as the Munich Massacre. Ten athletes along with one West German Police officers died.

But Democrat President Bill Clinton welcomed Yasser Arafat into America and even into the White House itself. Of all foreign dignitaries, Arafat spent more time in the White House than any other.

The world sides with a demon while effectively thumbing their nose at Israel.

The Handwriting on the Wall

The hatred the world has for Israel and Jews isn’t natural. It is a supernatural hatred and loathing that is planted in the hearts of the evil people in this world. As I’ve said many times before, the Jewish people and the nation of Israel is solid proof that the Bible is true. God did this by writing the history of Israel and the Jews in advance. The entire Old Testament is full of promises to restore the nation of Israel in the last days. Despite what you have been told by skeptics, this is uncontroversial evidence. In 1948, the nation came into being in a single day, exactly as was prophesied:

Then he said unto me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel: behold, they say, Our bones are dried, and our hope is lost: we are cut off for our parts. 12 Therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, O my people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel.

13 And ye shall know that I am the LORD, when I have opened your graves, O my people, and brought you up out of your graves, 14 And shall put my spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I shall place you in your own land: then shall ye know that I the LORD have spoken it, and performed it, saith the LORD. – Ezekiel 37:11-14 KJV

“Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? or shall a nation be born at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children.” – Isaiah 66:8 KJVew

In 1967, the nation of Israel captured Jerusalem, exactly as predicted in the Bible.

1 This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD: 2 “This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘Write in a book all the words I have spoken to you. 3 The days are coming,’ declares the LORD, ‘when I will bring my people Israel and Judah back from captivity and restore them to the land I gave their ancestors to possess,’ says the LORD.” – Jeremiah 30:1-3 NIV

10 “‘So do not be afraid, Jacob my servant;
do not be dismayed, Israel,’
declares the LORD.
I will surely save you out of a distant place,
your descendants from the land of their exile.
Jacob will again have peace and security,
and no one will make him afraid.
11 I am with you and will save you,’
declares the LORD.
– Jeremiah 30:10-11 NIV

1 “In those days and at that time,
when I restore the fortunes of Judah and Jerusalem,

2 I will gather all nations
and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat.
There I will put them on trial
for what they did to my inheritance, my people Israel,
because they scattered my people among the nations
and divided up my land.
– Joel 3:1-2 NIV

In Conclusion

This is the real reason Israel is despised, Jews are persecuted, and hated among all people. This is the reason that Christians are quickly becoming just as hated as the Jews. Because our future as well was written in advance, we are becoming despisable to the world. And I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Think about this: Take a look at the world; all you see is corruption, violence, murder, hatred: In fact, read this:

28 Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done. 29 They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice.

They are gossips, 30 slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; 31 they have no understanding, no fidelity, no love, no mercy. 32 Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them. – Romans 1:28-32 NIV

Now, is this the group you want to be associated with? Absolutely not. But this is the group that is embracing Islam. Which religion do you believe is the true religion? The religion of Christianity is shunned worldwide. As the world becomes more and more evil, the deeper they find kinship with the Muslims and the more Christianity is hated. As I recently heard on social media, do Christians strap suicide bombs to their backs?

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but this world you love so much has been on a countdown for the last 2,000 years, and the time is just about up. Never before in the history of the world have we seen things so perfectly aligned with the Bible. The Bible speaks more about this time we are living in right now, than any other time, including the 1st Coming of Christ. And every single one of those things are happening.
