As tensions in the Middle East continue to escalate, one message echoed by Pastor James Kaddis is growing louder: time is running out for Israel.
With hostages still held by Hamas, global pressure mounting and widespread misinformation clouding the situation, the urgency for decisive action is undeniable. According to recent statements from Israeli leaders and biblical prophecies, Israel stands at a critical crossroads—one where hesitation could lead to catastrophe.

At the center of the current conflict is Israel’s war in Gaza. Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar has made it clear that Israel will not cave under international pressure. In a statement, he said Israel “will not commit suicide for countries that have lost control over their own streets,” referencing nations like France and the U.K. whose internal chaos disqualifies them from dictating Israel’s security policy.

False media narratives against Israel continue to persist. Examples include misrepresented photos of children suffering from genetic disorders being portrayed as victims of Israeli-inflicted famine. These distortions fuel anti-Israel sentiment and distract from the real issue: Hamas’s exploitation and endangerment of civilians.
The Israeli government maintains that the pressure being applied by the international community is not only counterproductive—it emboldens Hamas. Historical patterns show that Hamas hardens its position under external political strain. Calls for a two-state solution, under the current conditions, are viewed by many in Israel as veiled attempts to legitimize a jihadist state adjacent to their borders.
Kaddis notes how what is happening is not merely political, but spiritual. Passages from Zechariah 12 and Psalm 105 are being cited to frame Israel’s modern struggle within the context of biblical prophecy. “God has not revoked His promise to Israel,” Kaddis emphasizes, asserting that divine covenant guarantees the Jewish people’s right to the land and protection from those who seek their destruction.

There is also a strategic military concern. The suggestion is made that Israel should embrace the “Ben-Gurion doctrine”: to fight quickly, decisively and not on their own soil. Some argue that Israel should fully annex territories like Gaza and Judea and Samaria to restore order and long-term security.
Ultimately, the message is clear: Israel must act now. The threats are real, the enemies are determined and the international community is increasingly hostile. However, God’s covenant stands with Israeli people now just as it always has. God is faithful to be with His chosen people.
