Old Testament Prophetesses:
Noadiah Who is Noadiah and why is she considered to be a false prophetess? Noadiah means witness, ornament, of the Lord. She is only mentioned once in the Bible in Nehemiah 6:14. Nehemiah wrote “My God, remember Tobiah and Sanballat, according to these their works, and the prophetess Noadiah and the rest of the prophets who would have made me afraid” (Nehemiah 6:14, NKJ). The only thing we know about her is that she was part of a group who opposed Nehemiah when he wanted to rebuild Jerusalem which earlier had been destroyed by the Babylonians.

Sir Keir: "Lasting Ceasefire in Gaza".. Content Warning.
We have all been horrified by the Hamas attack on Israelis on October 7. Where Hamas killed 1,200 Israelis and took many hostage. We knew Israel being Israel, would hit back. However, many have been and are taken aback by how hard Israel has hit back. Killing 28,000 civilians, taking out churches and mosques, medical facilities, education facilities, etc. Killing it seems, very few Hamas fighters. 300 or so IDF soldiers are dead with countless others injured. Hamas no doubt, has been and will be decimated, however, it remains intact.
