An Open Letter to PM Benjamin Netanyahu in Response to the October 7, 2023 Hamas Attack

English – French

To: PM Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel

Mr. Netanyahu, I have an important message for you.

“The fear of man brings a snare: But whosoever puts his trust in the LORD shall be safe” (Proverbs 29:25 KJV).

You’ve done great things for Israel. God has given you the calling and the power to do so, not that you haven’t erred in many ways. All men err. However, you have made one major, grievous error in that you’ve gravely offended the God of Israel according to your faith.

You recognized Joe Biden as the legitimate President of the United States. He is not. He is a thief, a liar, a murderer, and a career criminal. And you’ve known it, yet you honored him as your long-term, 40-year friend and faithful ally of Israel. You’ve played politics with lies and false hopes, placing your trust in the power of the flesh, in “horses and chariots.” Not in God, but in the US and Joe Biden.

Isaiah 31:
(1) Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help; and stay on horses, and trust in chariots, because they are many; and in horsemen, because they are very strong; but they look not unto the Holy One of Israel, neither seek the LORD!

(3) Now the Egyptians are men, and not God; and their horses flesh, and not spirit. When the LORD shall stretch out His hand, both he that helps shall fall, and he that is helped shall fall down, and they all shall fail together.

Mr. Netanyahu, you hoped to hedge your bets, to flatter Biden. Big mistake. And you have misled many people, both Jews and Gentiles, believers and unbelievers, religious and secular. Many thought they should follow your example and judgment.

You have defiled the earth with these foolish and unfaithful decisions and actions, offending God and man. You have denied God, and in doing so, have destroyed many.

You’ve served to rob the true president of the US of his presidency and have recognized the stolen goods as the thief’s. How can you not expect to reap what you’ve sown?

Shall you not reap as you sow? Is it not an inviolable law?

You need to confess your error and renounce Joe Biden as your friend and legitimate President of the USA. For political expediency, you’ve lied to your people and the world, undoing much good and canceling much progress you’ve been able to accomplish for Israel these past many years, you and your father.

You’ve resented Donald Trump’s claim to fame at your expense. The reality is you’ve needed his help and God gave him to you for this day. Instead of working together and giving one another credit to your great advantage, you’ve competed out of pride, envy, and ego.

Proverbs 16:18:
“Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.”

You’ve ignored the solemn counsel of your holy Hebrew prophets to your hurt.

At the risk and sacrifice of your welfare and that of Israel, you should have stood with Donald Trump against the evil powers of darkness and injustice while his adversaries were trashing him. And now these same adversaries have turned on you as you turned on him. You have betrayed the good and stood to commit suicide.

However, we have saving news. Confess this, your egregious sin against God, Israel, and all mankind, publicly. Let Israel and all the earth know that you erred. Renounce your trust in Joe Biden and all the powers of this world. Stand in faith with honesty, righteousness, truth, justice, and equity. Stand with the Unseen Almighty God of Israel and of the Universe. Confess that you betrayed Donald Trump and declare that he was and IS the duly elected President of the United States. Do it now.

You know your enemies will rage against you, threaten, and condemn you. Watch them seek to destroy you and Israel, that which you’ve feared and for which you flattered your enemies to avoid the consequences and gain their aid, trusting their evil instead of God’s good.

Place faith solely in the God of Israel and watch Him come to your defense in a miraculous way, which is no great thing for Him. He dishonors those who dishonor Him and honors those who honor Him. Watch Him turn the tide.

Don’t listen to the secularists or the religionists. Don’t listen to the ill-defined friends or enemies, to military strategists or powerbrokers of this world, Israeli or otherwise. TRUST GOD ABSOLUTELY AND RESOLUTELY AT ALL COSTS.

Normally or often, one who falls to temptation and succumbs to fear of man is snared, and yet I perceive a special opportunity granted to you by God to stand up and do the right, speaking the words of Esther, “If I perish, I perish.” She never offended God and her people as have you. However, I believe you are being afforded the grace to redeem yourself and Israel through confession and repentance, to do the right, the necessary, to take the only viable option available to you.

If you should choose to disregard this counsel, to your great misfortune, Mordecai’s words will apply:

Esther 4:13–14:
“Then Mordecai told them to reply to Esther, ‘Do not think to yourself that in the king’s palace, you will escape any more than all the other Jews. For if you keep silent at this time, relief and deliverance will rise for the Jews from another place, but you and your father’s house will perish. And who knows whether you have not come to the kingdom for such a time as this?”

Forgive Donald Trump, Mr. Netanyahu. Publicly render him his due and he will forgive you. Your God will see to it. Pray for President Trump’s forgiveness. You owe each other great debts. Forgive and you’ll be forgiven. If you don’t forgive, you’ll not be forgiven. Trust God, do the right, and it cannot but go right for you. See the Salvation of God. That is the Guarantee of Heaven, Golden Clad.

Your God is YHWH of Israel. My God is Yeshua HaMashiach, the Lord Jesus Christ. To me, they are the Same. You haven’t known that. I have and do know it. Never mind. You call on God as you know Him, as He chooses to identify Himself to you, see Who He is, and what He Can and Will do for you and Israel.

Amen! The God of Israel is Faithful and True. He will not turn away or disappoint those who put their trust in Him.

“The fear of man brings a snare: But whoever puts his trust in the LORD shall be safe” (Proverbs 29:25 KJV).
