South Africa, Be WARNED!
South Africa, Be WARNED: Touching Israel is Touching The Apple of GOD’s Eye!
‘For thus says THE LORD of hosts: “He sent Me after Glory, to the nations which plunder you; for he who touches you touches The Apple of His Eye. For surely I will shake My Hand against them, and they shall become spoil for their servants. Then you will know that THE LORD of hosts has sent Me.” ‘ Zechariah 2:8-9.
It had been widely covered in the media worldwide with the usual bias against Israel: South Africa has taken Israel to the International Court of Justice in the Hague, Kingdom of the Netherlands.
As a BBC news report ( “What did ICJ ruling mean in South Africa’s genocide case against Israel?” ) noted last December, South Africa launched an attempt at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) to prove that, in its view, Israel was committing genocide in relation to how it was perpetrating the war against Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
It alleged that the way Israel had prosecuted the war was “genocidal in nature” because, according to the South African case, there was an intention to “destroy Palestinians in Gaza”.
Israel vehemently rejected these allegations, saying the entire case misrepresented what was happening on the ground.
The hypocrisy is hyperactive.
Russia has been attacking Ukraine, committing documented genocide against the Ukrainians. Mass graves have been discovered — in which civilian Ukrainians were buried by Russian soldiers.
UN investigators found evidence of war crimes including Russian bombings of civilian areas, numerous executions, torture and sexual violence.
The investigators had seen evidence of numerous executions, many people with their hands tied, and the rape and torture of children. (See this TRT World news article, “UN investigators detail ‘war crimes’ committed in Ukraine“.)
Yet South Africa did not take the aggressor (Russia) to the ICJ; it rather blatantly supports Russia, even eulogising the country’s leader Vladimir Putin, and vehemently sought to shield him from an ICJ arrest warrant.
News24 (a leading South African media outlet) recently noted “South Africa’s love for Russia: MPs praise Moscow’s ‘genuine interest in Africa‘”
“South Africa’s love for Russia: MPs praise Moscow’s ‘genuine interest in Africa.'”
South African President Cyril Ramaphosa also recently congratulated Vladimir Putin for ‘winning’ the umpteenth sham election in the county.
As hinted earlier, last July, Mr Ramaphosa vehemently fought against executing an ICJ arrest warrant for Vladimir Putin were he to attend a BRICS conference in South Africa. (As an ICJ member, South Africa is legally bound to execute such a warrant).
A CNN analysis (“South Africa’s stance on Russia puzzles many. Could a mine in the desert hold answers?“) also listed South Africa’s express support for Russia:
“South Africa abstaining from votes condemning Russia at the United Nations; hosting war games with the Russian Navy; repeatedly, and publicly, criticizing the United States; and even, allegedly loading weapons and ammunition onto a sanctioned Russian cargo ship.”
So, the South African government actively supports Russia (which is committing genocidal war crimes in Ukraine) and even shields Vladimir Putin from the ICJ arrest warrant pending against him, but takes Israel to the same ICJ for seeking to remove the terrorist threat of Hamas. (NB. I do not condone any wrong doing by Israel in Gaza).
I encourage you South African and other brethren to pray for the country to see the error of its ways and back off from persecuting Israel. GOD always strikes anyone who touches The Apple of His Eye: Israel as well as His children in CHRIST (Genesis 12:3; Deuteronomy 32:10; Zechariah 2:8).
Now, following South Africa’s ill-motivated legal action against Israel at the ICJ, the court’s prosecutor, Karim Khan, is outrageously seeking arrest warrants for Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu and his defence minister, as well as for some top Hamas leaders.
According to its website (“International Court of Justice“),
“The International Court of Justice (ICJ) is the principal judicial organ of the United Nations (UN). It was established in June 1945 by the Charter of the United Nations and began work in April 1946. The seat of the Court is at the Peace Palace in The Hague (Netherlands).”
UN bias against Israel has long been established.
Now the ICJ prosecutor is going after Israel, painting the country with the same brush as Hamas, a terrorist organisation.
Sky News (a UK media outlet) reported (“Benjamin Netanyahu ‘disgusted’ at ICC prosecutor’s arrest warrant bid“) that :
“Mr Netanyahu said: “As prime minister of Israel, I reject with disgust the Hague prosecutor’s comparison between democratic Israel and the mass murderers of Hamas.
With what audacity do you compare Hamas that murdered, burned, butchered, decapitated, raped and kidnapped our brothers and sisters and the IDF soldiers fighting a just war.
“No pressure and no decision in any international forum will prevent us from striking those who seek to destroy us.” “
Those who seek to destroy Israel, those who curse Israel, those who persecute Israel draw the ire of THE GOD of Israel. South Africa beware!
On 13 April 2024, Iran, Israel’s most hateful enemy on earth currently, (together with Iranian-funded terrorist proxies: Hezbollah and Houthi rebels) bombarded GOD’s chosen land (Israel) with 331 potentially devastating missiles and drones.
“Behold, He Who keeps Israel Shall neither slumber nor sleep.” Psalm 121:4.
According to the Israeli military, 99% of the missiles and drones were intercepted.
The GOD of Israel protected Israel. Consequently, the Iranian military intention and execution to obliterate targets in Israel with mass destruction was a damp squib (British speak for the spectacular failure of something highly expected to succeed greatly).
Over a month later, on 19 May 2024, which was The Day of Pentecost — as per Gentile calculation (per Jewish calendar Pentecost 2024 will be on 11-13 June), Iranian president Ebrahim Raisi was killed in a helicopter crash; all others on board, including his foreign minister, also died.
This was not a chance accident, and should serve as a warning to South Africa and others who are persecuting Israel.
Those who come against Israel, come against THE GOD of Israel. They touch The Apple of His Eye.
The Apple of His Eye means The Pupil of His Eye. Imagine someone daring to hurt GOD’s Eye by aggressively attacking The Pupil?
That’s what it amounts to when people come against the people of GOD—both the nation Israel and those who are in CHRIST.
“Knowing, therefore, The Terror of THE LORD, we persuade men; but we are well known to GOD, and I also trust are well known in your consciences.” 2 Corinthians 5:1.
“It is a fearful thing to fall into The Hands of The Living GOD.” Hebrews 10:31.
Please pray also for Israel. I know many of you already do.
‘Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: “May they prosper who love you. Peace be within your walls, Prosperity within your palaces.” For the sake of my brethren and companions, I will now say, “Peace be within you.” ’ Psalm 122:6-8.

“The LORD Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Grace be with you. Amen.” 2 Timothy 4:22.
“Farewell” Acts 15:29.
~ Jacob Addison Awagah
Jacob, an apostle of JESUS CHRIST by The Will of GOD, according to The Promise of Life Which is in CHRIST JESUS, (2 Timothy 1:1).
Like John, I like to put my head to The Heart of JESUS so as to know and do His Will always. What’s in His Heart is what matters now and FOREVER. His Heart’s Desire is my only desire. My will is to do His Will.
As John was, I am the disciple whom JESUS loves. And like Paul, I am “the prisoner of CHRIST JESUS” (Ephesians 3:1) for His Purpose forever: to obey Him always.
NB. Surely, the disciple whom JESUS loves and “the prisoner of CHRIST JESUS”, like ALL The Promises of GOD, are available to every believer to obtain, just as John and Paul did.
“And having been perfected, He [JESUS] became The Author of Eternal Salvation to all who obey Him,” Hebrews 5:9.
God is a God of righteousness. The rule of law has to be followed. Maybe God is using South Africa and the ICC to stop something extraordinary bad happening to His Believers in Gaza. Who are we to interfere in how God uses nations to deal with Israel and His Believers in that region?
I stand with Jesus Christ. No one else. Jesus never allowed wicked behaviour, just because it was a Jew committing it. He called evil out, without being cursed by God for “coming against a Jew or Israel”. Quite the opposite. When He hanged, He was innocent. So God never, EVER blamed Him for speaking His mind about the bad deeds the Israelites and Jews were doing. We are to walk in Jesus Christ’s footsteps, not the world that fears committing “anti-semitism”. Choose wisely with whom you stand. Their fruit will show the tree.
Amen to that brother
Please be aware that most of the large numbers of Christians in South Africa are horrified and do not agree with their government’s stance against Israel and is vervently praying for a change in government at the upcoming election. Please pray with us.
While other (also large numbers of) Christians in South Africa are horrified by what’s happening in Gaza, and pray for God’s intervention in their lives, most especially our Christian brothers and sisters in Gaza.
