Why were the Jews called Hebrews?
The first time the name “Hebrew” is used in the Bible is in Genesis 14:13: "And there came one that had escaped, and told Abram the Hebrew; for he dwelt in the plain of Mamre the Amorite, brother of Eshcol, and brother of Aner: and these were confederate with Abram."According to Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance, “Hebrews” [...]
Does the generational curse in Exodus 20:4-5 apply to us today? Does Galatians 3:10-14 resolve the issue for Christians?
Our God is a God of order. Psalm 89:14 says that righteousness and justice are the very foundation of His heavenly throne. This means that all He does must be based in what is right and just. While some of us may look at this through fearful eyes, this is actually great news. It means [...]

Zechariah 9:5 – Ashkelon shall see it, and fear; Gaza also shall see it, and be very sorrowful, and Ekron; for her expectation shall be ashamed; and the king shall perish from Gaza, and Ashkelon shall not be inhabited. Please explain this scripture and how it is related to Gaza and Israel war.
