Speaking with The Washington Times this week, ALL ISRAEL NEWS Editor-in-Chief Joel Rosenberg emphasized how the current war in Gaza has a significant spiritual impact, in addition to its obvious material consequences.

💬 “This [conflict] rattled Israel to our core. As a Bible believer, I believe this comes right out of … the Hebrew prophet Amos, chapter 9, verse 9, where God says: ‘In the future, in the end days, I will shake the whole house of Israel.’ And the house of Israel was shaken very badly.”

💬 “People are asking questions: ‘Is there a God? Does he love us? Can he be trusted? And will he show us a way out of this?

💬 “Israelis have different perspectives about the conflict’s spiritual impact, depending on their religious orientation. Some religious people are angry and saying, ‘God abandoned us, or maybe he’s not even there,’ and secular people are like, ‘We abandoned God. Maybe he is there. And it’s our fault … not that we got attacked, but that we were not under his care and keeping,’”
