“The stunning message from the first public message on Thursday by Iran’s new leader, Ayatollah Seyyed Mojtaba #Khamenei, is that ‘The Strait of #Hormuz must remain closed.’ In seven words, he threw the gauntlet at President Trump, belying all expectations that he would opt for continuity in policy. Not only is Trump in no position to decide a timeline for the war but Mojtaba effectively announced the next phase—a war of attrition”

Challenges for Discipleship in the Context of the War of Attrition: The Ukrainian Case

<p xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" dir="auto" id="d3988986e65">This article highlights the challenges faced by evangelicals in Ukraine who have set out to be faithful disciples of Christ in the face of the country’s current war for survival. It opens with an analysis of the historical context that shaped Ukrainian evangelical Protestantism, including the influence of the radical Reformation, dispensationalist eschatology, the tradition and spirituality of the Orthodox Church, and life in the atheistic, hostile Soviet society. It discusses distinct features of the traditional Ukrainian evangelical theology of discipleship and its practice, such as the importance of conversion and separation from the world, Christianity as a way of life following Christ, radical pacifism, and the significance of evangelism. Next presented is an analysis of the existential, theological, ethical and social challenges that Ukrainian Christians are facing as they seek to incorporate social responsibility into the discipleship of the Kingdom of God since the Revolution of Dignity and the Russian aggression in 2014, and especially since Russia’s full-scale invasion in 2022. Attention is briefly paid to the responses of Russian evangelicals to the war, before the article concludes with an overview of the theology of discipleship in a war of attrition: humility, the solidarity of love, self-denial, prophetic imagination and courage. </p><p xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" dir="auto" id="d3988986e70">Cet article met en lumière les défis auxquels sont confrontés les évangéliques d’Ukraine qui ont entrepris d’être de fidèles disciples du Christ dans le contexte actuel de guerre pour la survie du pays. Il commence par une analyse du contexte historique qui a façonné le protestantisme évangélique ukrainien, notamment l’influence de la Réforme radicale, l’eschatologie dispensationaliste, la tradition et la spiritualité de l’Église orthodoxe et la vie au sein d’une société soviétique athée et hostile. Il examine les caractéristiques de la théologie évangélique ukrainienne traditionnelle du discipulat et de sa pratique, telles que l’importance de la conversion et de la séparation du monde, le christianisme en tant que mode de vie à la suite du Christ, le pacifisme radical et l’importance de l’évangélisation. Suit une analyse des défis existentiels, théologiques, éthiques et sociaux auxquels les chrétiens ukrainiens sont confrontés lorsqu’ils cherchent à intégrer la responsabilité sociale dans la vie de disciple du Royaume de Dieu depuis la Révolution de la Dignité et l’agression russe en 2014, et surtout depuis l’invasion à grande échelle de la Russie en 2022. Les réponses des évangéliques russes à la guerre font l’objet d’une brève attention, avant que l’article se termine par un aperçu de la théologie du discipulat dans le contexte d’une guerre d’usure : humilité, solidarité inspirée par l’amour, abnégation, imagination prophétique et courage. </p><p xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" dir="auto" id="d3988986e75">Vorliegender Artikel betont die Herausforderungen evangelikaler Christen in der Ukraine, die treue Nachfolger Christi sein möchten angesichts des gegenwärtigen Überlebenskriegs ihrer Heimat. Zunächst untersucht werden die geschichtlichen Faktoren, die die Gestalt des evangelikalen Protestantismus in der Ukraine geprägt haben: Die radikale Reformation, eine dispensationalistische Eschatologie, orthodoxe Tradition und Spiritualität sowie das Leben in der feindseligen atheistischen Sowjetgesellschaft. Zur Sprache kommen eindeutige Kennzeichen ukrainischer evangelikaler Theologie und Praxis der Jüngerschaft, zum Beispiel der Stellenwert der Bekehrung, Absonderung von der Welt, Christsein als Nachfolge Christi, radikaler Pazifismus und die Wichtigkeit der Evangelisation. Folgt eine Untersuchung existentieller, theologischer, ethischer and sozialer Herausforderungen für jene Christen in der Ukraine, die gesellschaftliche Verantwortung in ihre Jüngerschaft im Reich Gottes integrieren möchten seit der Revolution der Würde und der russischen Aggression 2014, umso mehr seit der vollständigen Invasion 2022. Nach einem Streiflicht auf Reaktionen russischer Evangelikalen zum Krieg schließt der Artikel mit einem Überblick über eine Theologie der Jüngerschaft inmitten einer Abnutzungskrieg: Demut, Solidarität der Liebe, Selbstverleugnung, prophetische Vorstellungskraft und Mut. </p>

5. Although "Israel's" genocidal acts so far have not been any better, this latest mass terror attack may be a sign of its desperation to provoke an action from the resistance which can be used as a pretext by its ever-blood-thirsty "Western" allies to push the whole region into a bigger war, and rescue "Israel" from a #WarOfAttrition which is a completely new terrain for it, and has exposed its major weaknesses.
When one sees the #zionist entity's latest attack on #Lebanon being covered by the Supreme Terrorist State's #nytimes, one is assured that it is trying its best to provoke #Hezbollah and the resistance axis to react in a manner which could serve as a pretext for the genocidal colonial actors to be able to carry out their war more openly, without having to lie to their people.
Hezbollah must ofc understand that #WarOfAttrition is too painful for "Israel" and carry on patiently boiling the frog!
