CONCLUSION
Heading into 2024, six biblical truths Evangelicals need to embrace when it comes to Israel and Arab/Muslim world. Because Iran-backed Hezbollah has a much bigger army of terrorists – and 150,000 powerful missiles aimed at Israel (many precision-guided) – the next phase of this war will be much bigger. In this time of terror and tragedy, let’s follow Jesus’ teachings more faithfully than ever. (See article for scriptures relating to what Christians need to do.)
