Israel and the Nations
GPW News
INTRODUCTION:
We are soldiers in the army of the Lord, and
we are air force warriors. This is a strategic assignment for
your consideration as a specific prayer focus.
QUESTION: WHAT IS THE ENEMY DOING TO DISRUPT LIFE IN THE
HOLY LAND?
ANSWER: PINPOINTING TARGETS:
* There are certain geographical areas that are repeatedly
targeted in the land.
* Understanding the targets will help you to raise your
prayer shields over these areas, seeking increased Divine protection for the
people and the land.
WHAT YOU SEE IN REPORTS, AND WHAT IS BEHIND WHAT YOU
SEE:
(1)
GENERAL LOCATIONS: Media reports
show missiles striking in northern areas, central areas, southern areas, the
coastal plain, Jerusalem, in the Galilee, etc.
(2)
ENEMY’S PURPOSE: to target the
land with several goals in mind, in its attempt to wipe this nation off the
map. We know this is God’s land. The enemy cannot completely destroy it. God is
in charge. But, there is significant property damage; people are losing their
lives; many are getting injured.
(3)
SPIRITUAL HELP: We ask you to lift
up the arms and hands of the citizens, as Aaron and Hur did for Moses, so the
battle could be won, and the victory could prevail. (EXODUS 17:11-13).
WHERE AND WHY?
(1)
The enemy said it would attack military facilities.
This has come true, with major threats and attacks occurring in April
2024, June 2025, and now, in March 2026.
(2)
The enemy has targeted major civilian
infrastructure, including energy facilities.
(3) The enemy is deliberately focusing on population centers, as a military strategy.
JERUSALEM CORRIDOR: in the Judean
Hills, close to Route 1 (the major highway into Jerusalem), and west of the
city of Jerusalem.
It is a significant area with a long history of a military
presence; of military conflicts; and most of all -- “God” happenings. Certain
communities in this Corridor are active, and there are historical military
points. The enemy is, continually, targeting neighborhoods in the Jerusalem
Corridor.
Why is this Corridor being targeted?
· Active
military installations
· Army
training and operational bases
· Army
patrols
· Border
Police
· Spiritual
history
What else is in the Judean Hills?
· critical national infrastructure, involving communications
· strategic
overlooks, often monitored or guarded by security forces
Further west of Jerusalem:
BEIT SHEMESH: A repeated target is in close
proximity to this community. The target was reportedly hit by Hamas in 2023,
and the Houthi’s in 2025. In March 2026, the community, itself, suffered a
major hit from a ballistic missile, destroying a bomb shelter, a synagogue, and
part of a house. Nine people died. Major injuries. It’s important to look at what is nearby the
community, which could have been the main target. This information is in open
sources.
HAIFA: Big population center. Petrochemicals
industries. Oil refineries. Extensive communications infrastructure for
electricity/power. It’s a strategic
location, targeted by two enemy forces, often coordinating their actions.
SAFED: Command and Control Center. (Also,
the center for Jewish Mysticism, focused on Kabbalah). It is in the Galilee.
GALILEE: There is significant military
infrastructure: strategic locations; army division headquarters; areas used for
defensive and operational purposes; bases and camps; training and logistics.
Also, a border infrastructure: surveillance and security.
TEL AVIV: Huge population center; government military
headquarters; operational bases.
RAMAT GAN: Part of Tel Aviv. Diamond Exchange
District; High Tech Business hub. Commerce.
BEERSHEVA: New advanced technological campus; eventual
relocation of Intelligence and Command units to this city. Two major air force
bases are here. Dimona nearby.
BEN GURION AIRPORT: Airports are strategic
targets. Flights have been disrupted since the beginning of the war. Now,
flights are carrying citizens back home, some of whom want to return to army
service. There were stranded Americans trying to fly out of the country.
All this disruption is because of the enemy’s missiles targeting the airport
and planes. War is preventing some new immigrants from making Aliyah.
Note: International fighter jets received at the airport
for re-fueling; are “sitting ducks,” getting hit and damaged by missiles and shrapnel.
In-country airlines have planes with defensive shields that are supposed to
withstand missile targeting while flying. It works, but the flights are risky.
THE OLD CITY: In the 12-Day war, June 2025, at
least one enemy missile was intercepted over the Temple Mount. Recently,
another missile was intercepted over the Old City. Shrapnel fell on the
compound of the Al-Aqsa Mosque. Shrapnel fell near the Church of the Holy Sepulcher;
Shrapnel fell on a car in the Jewish Quarter. The enemy is specifically
targeting holy sites.
WHAT IS OUR POSTURE, BIBLICALLY? SCRIPTURES TO DECLARE:
Ephesians 6:12-19 (NIV AND NLT): “For we are not
fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and
authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and
against evil spirits in the heavenly places. Therefore, put on every piece of
God’s armor so you will be able to resist the enemy in the time of evil. Then,
after the battle you will still be standing firm. Stand your ground, putting on
the belt of truth and the body armor of God’s righteousness. With your feet
fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to
all of this, hold up the shield of faith to stop the fiery arrows of the devil.
Put on salvation as your helmet, and take the sword of the Spirit, which is the
Word of God. And, pray in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion. Stay
alert and be persistent in your prayers for all believers everywhere. And, pray
for me, too. Ask God to give me the right words so I can boldly explain God’s
mysterious plan, that the Good News is for Jews and Gentiles alike.”
2 Corinthians 10:3-4: “For though we live in the
world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not
the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish
strongholds.”
1 John 5:19-20: “We know that we are children of
God, and that the whole world is under the control of the evil one. And, we
know that the Son of God has come, and He has given us understanding, so that
we can know the true God. And, now we live in fellowship with the true God
because we live in fellowship with His Son, Jesus the Messiah. He is the only
true God, and He is eternal life.”
Daniel 10:13: “However, the prince of the kingdom
of Persia opposed me for 21 days. Then, all of a sudden, Michael, one of
the chief angels, came to assist me!
I had been detained there near the kings of Persia.” (Note: This is an example of the
powers in the natural realm, and the powers in the spiritual realm, colliding
over the kingdom of Persia…. an empire that is currently shaking violently,
until God brings it down!)
Psalm 144:1: “Praise the LORD, who is my rock. He
trains my hands for war and gives my fingers skill for battle.”
Psalm 68:1: “Rise up O God, and scatter Your
enemies. Let those who hate God run for their lives.”
Read Ephesians 1:21, which gives us our position
in this fight, as we belong to Jesus, the Messiah, and He is far above all rule
and authority, power and dominion, and above every name that is named, not only
in this age, but also in the one to come.
VISUAL PROPHETIC PICTURES:
(1)
This war is not just about the Middle
East region. This is a time of “global altering.” This includes God shaking kingdoms,
taking down rulers, strengthening other rulers.
There is a picture of a chess game on a map. One of the chess pieces
(Turkey) is moving to the front, and another chess piece (Persia) is moving a
few chess pieces back.
(2)
A person is holding a bow and arrow. When
the bow is pulled back to shoot the arrow, God takes over and directs the bow
to His pinpointed destination. The Lord is the One that knows the exact
point of interception of the enemy’s plan. We follow His eyes to that point,
and watch His follow-through.
The eyes of the Lord go throughout the earth, strengthening
those whose hearts are fully committed to Him. (from 2 Chronicles 16:9).
Amos 3:7: “Surely, the Sovereign LORD does nothing
without revealing His plan to His servants, the prophets.”
YOUR RESPONSIBILITY:
Stay fervently in prayer until all the areas mentioned
have stopped being targeted over and over again!
SPIRITUALLY:
YOU ARE PARTICIPATING IN A SPIRITUAL WAR OVER GOD’S LAND, AS A PRAYER WARRIOR,
IN GOD’S ARMY, GETTING YOUR DIRECTIONS FROM THE COMMANDER-AND-CHIEF OF HIS
ALLIED FORCES OF HEAVEN AND EARTH! THE ONE WHO IS THE CREATER OF HEAVEN
AND EARTH! THE KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS!
THE KINGDOMS OF THIS WORLD HAVE BECOME THE KINGDOMS
OF OUR LORD AND OF HIS MESSIAH, AND HE SHALL REIGN FOREVER AND EVER. (from
Revelation 11:15).
