Day 230 Swords of Iron – “Choose you this Day”

Chaim starts the video by quoting Joshua 24:15; And if it seems evil to you to serve the Lord, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”

He speaks about how that verse applies to the current situation, where everyone in the world seems to be picking sides, to stand with Isreal or to stand with the terrorists.

He mentions the chief prosecutor at the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague demanding arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, as well as the declarations by Spain, Norway and Ireland recognizing a Palestinian State. He also mentions the counter-factual charge that “Israel is committing a genocide and it’s been happening since 1948” even though the population of Palestinians is orders of magnitude larger than it was in 1948, or even in 1967.

Chaim also mentions the recent discovery of several films which show Israeli children being abused by the Hamas terrorists who kidnapped them and are holding them hostage in Gaza. He questions why anyone would want to stand with the people who are doing this.

He also mentions the three soldiers, who were personally known to him and who served in the explosive ordnance disposal squads, who died the previous night when they tripped a booby trap while searching for a tunnel entrance in a greenhouse.

He says that these soldiers died fighting to defend their country and build a better life for their children. Chaim says that those accusing Israel of “war crimes” must not understand that, and he blames all the absurd propaganda and lies that are being spread about Israel.

He says “here’s something that is NOT propaganda and quotes Zechariah 2:7-9; Up, Zion! Escape, you who dwell with the daughter of Babylon. For thus says the Lord of hosts: “He sent Me after glory, to the nations which plunder you; for he who touches you touches the apple of His eye. For surely I will shake My hand against them, and they shall become spoil for their servants. Then you will know that the Lord of hosts has sent Me.

Chaim says that this verse demonstrates that Israel is the tool God uses to bring order into the world, and the reason the world is in such disorder is because the world refuses to see that and get in alignment with God’s program.

Chaim quotes II Chronicles 32:7;  “Be strong and courageous; do not be afraid nor dismayed before the king of Assyria, nor before all the multitude that is with him; for there are more with us than with him.”

Chaim asks his viewers to pray this over the IDF soldiers, but also every leader who has authority over any country that is part of “the free world” that they would stand with Israel against the “kangaroo court” ICC effort to arrest Israeli leaders.
