God’s plan for Gaza

Two years ago, we explored the future of Gaza in another post, were Scripture says, Gaza will be utterly spoiled and Israelites will build pastures in Gaza. After today’s announcement by Trump on Gaza’s ‘Level it’ and rebuild, let’s explore more about the God’s plan for Gaza as mentioned in the Scriptures.

Trump’s AnnouncementGod’s Plan in Scripture (Zeph 2:4-9)
Level the site and get rid of the destroyed buildings, level it out, create an economic development that will supply unlimited numbers of jobs and housing for the people of the area1

“I don’t think people should be going back to Gaza. I think Gaza has been very unlucky for them. Gaza is not a place for people to be living.”2

“It should not go through a process of rebuilding and occupation by the same people that have really stood there and fought for it and lived there and died there and lived a miserable existence there”1
For Gaza shall be forsaken … “I will destroy you; So there shall be no inhabitant.” The seacoast shall be pastures, With shelters for shepherds and folds for flocks.

The coast shall be for the remnant of the house of Judah; They shall feed [their] flocks there; … For the LORD their God will intervene for them, And return their captives.

What does Scripture say will happen?

  • Gaza will be forsaken, no inhabitants will live there.
  • Will it be rebuilt as Trump says? No, Gaza will not be rebuilt. It will be for pastures, shelters for shepherds and folds for flocks. i.e, Israelite farmers will dwell there.
