If you have ever been in an argument with someone, you know the best thing to do is keep your mouth shut if you want the argument to end. If you are one who has heard an argument, you know that to try and speak into it is what we would say, “its none of your business”. This happens with people all the time. I remember in high school when a fight would break out in the hallway, we would all gather around and watch in a circle, but no one got involved and very few of us had a clue as to what started it. A fight always draws a crowd, but most people don’t know the history that brought about the current reality of the fight we were watching.

A war was declared yesterday and it grieves me that prophets are showing how they prophesied this would happen, as though this is a badge of honor to prove you are a prophet. Prophets are first and foremost to be intercessors, not to prove you are a prophet. Others will listen to the news and parrot them as though they are experts on a land they have never been to or know something about a people they have never met. My friends, there is a fight happening in the Middle East. People are circling around it watching a war between two people groups. We know very little, even though we think we know so much.

I was reading Leviticus 25 today because this war is happening 50 years after the Yom Kippur War of 1973, so it speaks to me, Jubilee, henceforth why I was reading Leviticus 25. The verse the Lord highlighted to me is “For the sons of Israel are My servants; they are My servants whom I brought out from the land of Egypt. I am the LORD your God.” (V.55). Israel is a covenant nation with God and they are God’s servants. God sees, hears and knows everything going on there and why it is happening. Let us not speak about things we know little about, we are called to be watchmen on the wall and to pray for the peace of Jerusalem, this is what we pray, as we watch from afar.
