Stunning Sign in Sky Emerges as Grieving Israelis Identify Loved Ones Killed By Hamas

As Israelis continue to process the horror that unfolded Oct. 7, when Hamas terrorists attacked and murdered innocents, a sign of God’s peace and love emerged over the weekend.
Listen to the latest episode of CBN’s Quick Start podcast.
Yael Eckstein, CEO of the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews (IFCJ), has been on the ground with her organization to provide food, resources, and comfort to victims and their families.
Eckstein shared an Instagram post Sunday explaining her work, the dire situation, and the stunning image her staff observed in the skies as they continued to provide comfort.
“At the location in Israel where family members gather to identify the bodies of loved ones, The Fellowship has been providing them with mattresses, chairs, food, drink, phone chargers, and emotional support,” she wrote. “[Twenty-four-seven] for six days, we have had our volunteers doing shifts, in this heartbreaking reality.”
But Eckstein said something incredible happened: “God spoke to them in the form of this stunning rainbow.”
She shared a photo of a beautiful rainbow stretching over relief workers helping victims deal with the unthinkable — and described the rainbow’s significance to ailing and distressed Israelis.
“Despite the death that has been surrounding us for the past week … this rainbow was a bold reminder,” Eckstein added. “The Jewish people will never be destroyed.”
Genesis 9 records the rainbow as a symbol of God’s covenant with humanity. Verse 13 (NIV) proclaims, “I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth.”
God told Noah he would remember that covenant whenever a rainbow appeared in the skies, pledging never again to use water to create a life-destroying flood.
He continued in Verse 16: “Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth.”
As CBN Digital recently reported, Eckstein also reflected in an interview last week on the horrific impact of Hamas’ attacks and why the entire world should be on notice.
“When we see babies beheaded, when we see women and their children being taken as hostages and raped … this is the epitome of evil.”

Identifying Antichrists
“Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.” (1 John 2:18)
Evangelicals expect “the” Antichrist to be revealed in the future, yet there are more warnings about “many” antichrists who are currently and actively plotting evil. John lists two specific identifying factors that enable us to spot these “anti” Christs.
“Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son” (1 John 2:22).
“And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist...and even now already is it in the world” (1 John 4:3).
This much is clear. Anyone who refuses to accept the incarnated Christ as the Son of God is anti-Christ. Perhaps we need to see this term in its simplicity. Those who are “anti” Christ (oppose, reject, against, opposite to, before, instead of, in place of) are antichrists!
Peter warns that false prophets and false teachers are also “anti” Christ—and that they may well come from among the Lord’s visible Kingdom.
“But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction” (2 Peter 2:1).
Thus, we are told that Satan’s “ministers also [are] transformed as the ministers of righteousness” (2 Corinthians 11:15). No wonder we should have caution. This is the last time (days), and we need to be alert! HMM III
