71. The War in Gaza: A Biblical Perspective from Israel, with Howard Bass

1 hour 1 minute

On October 7, 2023, the terrorist organization Hamas brazenly attacked Israel. The savagery and evil unleashed by the Islamic militants stunned not only Israelis but the entire world. The attacks came on a holiday. Civilians – including women, children and the elderly – were targeted, tortured and murdered. Many were dragged back into the Gaza Strip as hostages; their fates unknown.

How are biblical Christians to process all of this? What was it like for believers in Israel? What can Christians around the

world consider, when they contemplate the situation today in Israel and disturbing events that have unfolded globally in the following weeks? How can we as a spiritual Body pray for the traumatized and broken?

Pastor Howard Bass, who lives in southern Israel, joins the Christian Emergency Podcast to speak to these issues

and more. He describes his church’s experience that fateful morning and how they have dealt with the fallout. Other topics addressed by Pastor Bass include the fragile state of unity among Jewish and Arab Christians in the region. He

also shares how Christians around the world can shape their prayers for the situation in Israel, and also how they can prepare their own hearts for hard days ahead.
