Diggin Our Own Grave – Jim Fletcher

I have taken the liberty to once again share a wonderful article that makes perfect sense.  Please read and consider prayerfully.  I am in agreement 100%. Especially the part of Hamas should have surrender unconditionally.  Israel should have been left alone to finish the job.  And would have without Trump meddling! article below Rh

Diggin Our Own Grave by Jim Fletcher

October 8,2025

As we all suffer through another round of Hamas calling the shots in

“negotiations,” we also continue to see many of the ways in which Hamas built a power base globally.  That includes Western Media, including (and especially) Christian Media.  I follow these things closely, and the most outspoken leaders I’ve seen are

Dinesh D’Souza and Dumisani Washington. The former of course has gained fame as a political prisoner of the Obama Regime, and the latter—who used to work for Christians United for Israel—is heavily networked with black organizations that identify as Zionist.

Washington has been warning of problems pushed under the rug for a long time.  D’Souza in the last two weeks has almost come out of nowhere to fully support Israel.  Others, such as Pastor Jack Hibbs, also are outspoken.

That leaves the vast American Christian network sitting on its hands. Celebrity pastors and the largest ministries are too afraid of offending anyone, especially the Left.  Added to that is an indifferent, or covert hostility, to all things Jewish and Israel. I’ve written about this many times. But now that President Trump’s “21-Point Peace Plan” for ending the Hamas War has been announced, immediately we saw Hamas dictating terms. For example, the American and Israeli demand is that the hostages be released within 72 hours. We are now days past that deadline (another one set by Trump and ignored by Hamas) and Hamas has stated that Israel must fully withdraw before any hostages are released.  How can this be? How is it that the West is so weak as to be led by the nose by bloodthirsty terrorists? Yes, Hamas has some advantages on-the-ground, but it is a fact that global weakness and/or help has allowed Hamas to negotiate to infinity. They have no intention of complying but feel that Israelis and the wider world are so weary of the two-year battle that they will just submit. Again, moral weakness in the West has led

directly to this tragic set of circumstances. 

Take our old friends at Christianity Today, the “flagship” evangelical periodical, based in Chicago. I know that CT has been liberal at least for the last 30 years. From lauding former Iraqi foreign minister Tariq Aziz (under Saddam Hussein) as a brother in Christ, to finding subtle ways to criticize Israel, CT always takes the center-left perspective. Now fully stocked with Woke millennial staff, headed by Replacement-Theology editor-in-chief Russell Moore, CT this week published yet another aggravating article on the Hamas War.

In “Two Years After October 7, Christians See Fruit amid the Suffering,” Jill Nelson (who writes about her travels to Israel and a place called “Palestine”) spends the first five paragraphs mentioning the Oct. 7 attacks and aftermath, followed by 16 paragraphs on the suffering of the Arabs of Gaza.

And notice Nelson’s last paragraph:

“If the Jewish become Christians and the Muslims become Christians, then the peace of God will reign,” Khalil said. “I want the leader of Hamas to live in peace and to know Christ. And the most radical right Jewish leader, I want him to know Christ and

to live in peace.” To these people, Hamas is not radical; Israel is radical. This in large measure is why thousands of violent protests in support of Hamas have erupted all over the world. Including the U.S. (By the way, I don’t see a robust effort by the Administration to meet the Islam-threat head-on in our own country.  Cozying up to Qatar/Hamas seems bizarre and counter-productive.) The latest word is that there is a deal to be signed and from all indications…Hamas will survive. Now, of course, we don’t know what’s going on behind

the scenes. Hamas claims they are gathering all the living hostages. Israel will withdraw but remain in 57 percent of the Gaza Strip. If this version of the deal is accurate, Hamas was able to set terms, which is mind-boggling given the barbarism of Oct. 7. Again, all

this was made possible by a compliant West, and immoral people—individuals and groups—that identify with the satanic terrorist mindset. Hamas will declare victory.  If we lived in a sane world, the end of the story would have been unconditional

surrender.

Protesters in London are chanting “Israel is a Terrorist state!” while graffiti in Melbourne demands a sequel to Oct. 7. How can whole societies fall into such barbarism? They are far from God. That’s the short answer.  People that aren’t lashed to Scripture are vulnerable to drifting on an ocean of. hate and lies. That is where the present *cough “civilization” is at. Watching whole countries fall prey to obvious lies, satanic lies, is disconcerting.  For us as individuals, the best and only thing we can do is pray. Pray for the soon coming of the Messiah.  Until then, we are still privileged to live in such an era, one that past believers hoped to see.

The Rise of Anti-Semitism

It is certainly not a surprise in the world we live in that hatred of Jewish people is on the rise. I say that, however, a part of me thinks it’s absolutely mad that we have forgotten the terrors of Nazi Germany so quickly. The Jewish people have a saying “never again,” speaking of the holocaust. Unfortunately never again happened on Oct. 7th 2023. I am not here to deal with that, we have spoken on that hideous attack with all its atrocities on many occasions.

The point of my essay today is to share the reason of this demonic hatred of a people that really are a bother to no one. They live their lives. They make the world better through their scientific and cultural activities. All they really want is to live in peace in their homeland, yes it is theirs from antiquity. Given to them by God to the Patriarch Abraham, passed down to Isaac and Jacob. In that same line we find our Savior Jesus Christ. Aw, now we are getting somewhere.

The pure demonic hatred is found from the beginning. From Haman, the Roman emperors, to Hitler and all points in between. It all started in the garden. It still flourishes today. The anti-christ spirit that lives in this world was spoken of in 1 John 1:18. It was alive then and it is on steroids today. The pure hatred brandied about on our college campuses by Marxist professors and students rivals the rise of Nazism in the 30’s in Europe. So it really is a sign of the times, but also a deep thread of evil that a sinful unrepentant world loves to soak in. Evil has to hate something or someone, and the Jews are an easy target.

Surprisingly even some Christian denominations have forsaken the Biblical command to pray for the peace of Jerusalem. To lift up and pray for a people who through them came the sure Word of God and our Messiah. God is not finished with Israel. The very fact that this small country bothering no one is under heavy attack military and economically is proof they are still a part of God’s plan. Replacement theology is a lie.

The backlash to this is the saying of the radical Islamist who declare boldly they are coming for the Saturday (Jews) people first then the Sunday (Christians) people next. Mark my words the anti-Christ spirt is targeting and will increase attacks on churches and Christians. We are already seeing this happen in Europe, Africa, and Canada. Not surprising. This so called religion of peace, demands to “convert or die.”

Hate Israel if you want, but if you do, you will be standing and fighting against Almighty God. I choose to stand with Israel. That doesn’t mean I agree with everything they do, but it does mean I want to be on God’s side. I stand with the Word! I stand with Israel!
