Scripture: Proverbs 6:16-19
"There are six things which the LORD hates, Yes, seven which are an abomination to Him: Haughty eyes, a lying tongue, And hands that shed innocent blood, A heart that devises wicked plans, Feet that run rapidly to evil, A false witness who utters lies, And one who spreads strife among brothers."
Commentary:
When violence targets civilians on the land God gave to Israel, the gravity is both human and prophetic. These documented crimes are not distant history—they happened in real communities, leaving deep personal scars. Scripture does not avoid naming evil actions or their consequences. In prophetic terms, targeting innocents in Israel echoes biblical warnings of lawlessness and unrest in the last days. Ordinary people feel the cost first, yet the covenant land underscores the serious nature of these acts before God.
Prophetic Trend:
Exposure of civilian-targeted violence in Israel highlights the persistent pattern of end-times hostility against God’s covenant people and land.
