| Summary: | The narrative of 1 Kings 21 offers expository and hermeneutical parallels between the narrative about Naboth’s state-contrived murder and land theft and the overt actions by the modern state of Israel. No religious figures in Jezreel stood up for Naboth; similarly, religious leaders have by and large been silent about Israel’s actions in Gaza after the October 7 attack. In God’s name and for the peace of Gaza, religious leaders must not be silent, but must denounce and condemn what is being conducted by the Israeli–US alliance against Gazans. I offer nine positions regarding US action in this ongoing and worsening state-sponsored injustice and call on prophetic people to take up these positions. |
