Thank you for your reply. It is staggering to witness the harsh realities of modern-day Israel, a nation whose actions often appear deeply troubling. Even Netanyahu carries a demeanor that, to me, seems almost demonic. While the attack they suffered was undeniably tragic, their response against the Palestinian people—inflicting so much suffering on countless families—is utterly disproportionate and, frankly, unconscionable.

The Bible tells us that in the last days, the entire world will stand against Israel. Yet, as I reflect on this, I’m struck by how my own understanding of such prophetic truths has been clouded over the years. Having been involved in far too many churches, I failed to take responsibility for my own spiritual growth. Instead of diligently searching for the Truth through His Word, I allowed myself to absorb a confusing patchwork of doctrines and teachings—what I now see as a “word salad” of misunderstandings developed over 55 years. This confusion was further compounded by the countless pharmaceuticals prescribed to me by the VA.

As someone who is 100% service-connected disabled due to gross incompetence by the US Navy in the 1980s, my life has felt like a slow-motion train wreck since 1984. I know there are others out there like me—people who love and believe wholeheartedly in Jesus Christ but struggle to connect the dots, hindered by our own limited cognitive, mental, emotional, and spiritual abilities. It’s a battle, but one I am determined to fight with God’s guidance and grace. I will study further into your response, I believe it has merit. God Speed.
