Wish I knew why

10/23/2023, the latest news in the Israel-Hamas war: Israel is ready. In war tactics, delays are done for a reason. Gaza has been weakened amid food, water and fuel shortages. It is Israel's advantage. Hostages are at stake. If the Israeli forces go into Gaza, my views are, the Zephaniah 2:1-7 prophecy will be fulfilled. It is the anger of the LORD towards Gaza by the Hamas attack on October 7, 2023. Zephaniah 2:1-7 "Gather together, yes, gather, O shameless nation, 2 before the decree takes effect-before the day passes away like chaff-before there comes upon you the burning anger of the LORD, before there comes upon you the day of the anger of the LORD. 3 Seek the LORD, all you humble of the land, who do His just commands; seek righteousness; seek humility; perhaps you may be hidden on the day of the anger of the LORD. 4 For Gaza shall be deserted, and Ashkelon shall become a desolation; Ashdod's people shall be driven out at noon, and Ekron shall be uprooted. 5 Woe to you inhabitants of the seacoast, you nation of the Cherethites! The word of the LORD is against you, O Canaan, land of the Philistines; and I will destroy you until no inhabitant is left. 6 And you, O seacoast, shall be pastures, with meadows for shepherds and folds for flocks. 7 The seacoast shall become the possession of the remnant of the house of Judah, on which they shall graze, and in the houses of Ashkelon they shall lie down at evening. For the LORD their God will be mindful of them and restore their fortunes."
