Hamas is actively rebuilding its military and administrative capacity in Gaza, leaving Israel facing the same unresolved question of what a post-war Gaza looks like. This cycle of conflict and reconstruction mirrors the biblical reality that Israel's enemies will persistently surround and press against her in the last days, with no lasting peace apart from divine intervention. Scripture warns of wars and rumours of wars continuing until the end, and the inability of nations to resolve the Gaza question points to the prophesied conditions preceding Christ's return.
