This week we continue praying for the salvation of Israel one city at a time. As the ceasefire continues<\/em> we felt led by the Holy Spirit to pray for the city that has been most devastated by the conflict thus far. No matter your stance on who started what, Gaza has paid a heavy price, but most people have no idea what Gaza used to be like before Hamas,<\/strong> or what its Biblical history and blueprint is. As we pray for the salvation of the people living there, let\u2019s find out more about how to pray.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\n\t

Biblically speaking, Gaza was once a part of the land of the tribe of Judah,<\/strong> and was also the place where Sampson was captured by the Philistines<\/em> before his infamous and heroic death (Judges 16). In other Scriptures, Gaza does not fare well in terms of prophecy with Amos 1:6-7 and Zephaniah 2:4<\/strong> both saying that Adonai would destroy the city utterly, as has been the case many times throughout history and without exception today. Although Gaza is famous for the Philistines, after so much conquest their descendants have been scattered and integrated into the many empires that have come after. In a more joyful outlook in Scripture, when Phillip was on the road from Jerusalem to Gaza, he met the Eunuch in charge of the treasuries of the Queen of Ethiopia<\/em><\/strong> who he baptised along the road as a new believer in Yeshua as Messiah.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The name Gaza originally<\/strong> comes from the Hebrew word \u201cAzzah\u201d<\/em> loosely meaning \u201cStrong City.\u201d<\/em> At the close of the 1948 Arab Israeli War, Egypt was given control over the territory after Israel\u2019s victory, then in 1967 Israel gained control over Gaza as well as many other pieces of strategic land<\/em><\/strong> after being attacked from essentially every country in the Middle East at the same time, and remained completely under Israel\u2019s control until 2005 when, in a bid for peace, Israel\u2019s military and people were removed from the land by order of then Prime Minister Ariel Sharon.<\/strong> That peace was clearly never going to happen, but at least Israel can say they tried. While Hamas remains the governing body of the population in Gaza, it is still considered Israeli territory with the Israeli military controlling its land and sea borders, and the inflow of all imports and exports out of the strip due to the continued threat from Hamas.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\n\t
