Day 310 Swords of Iron – “Good Report”
Chaim starts off the video by talking about grapes, which are tied to the Biblical story from Numbers Chapter 13, where the spies came back from the land of Canaan with different reports. The grapes they brought back with them were so large that two men needed to carry them and this image became a symbol of the story.
Chaim says that this is an example, one of many, of how God can take something that was meant for evil and turn it around for good.
Chaim gives some examples from his own experiences in the IDF, working with elite units including the Border Police, and there have been many miracles that he himself has witnessed.
Chaim mentions the large barrages of rockets and other weapons that have been fired into Israel by Hezbollah, including some which have landed close to where his family lives in the Galilee. Chaim says he believes this time of war and hardship is going to lead to something much better.
Chaim also gives a warning to Hezbollah that they need to stop firing weapons into Israel before Israel decides that it’s time to hit them back hard and for real.
Chaim also mentions the Israeli strike on a Hamas position set up inside a school, which he said was absolutely necessary to win this war, despite the criticism Israel has come in for. He adds another warning that terrorists should not operate from inside schools and hospitals thinking they’ll be safe from the IDF, because the IDF will strike them there regardless.
Chaim also pushes back against the false narrative that Hamas put out that large numbers of innocent children died in this strike, saying that the strike killed 20 terrorists who had irresponsibly embedded themselves in a school and there is no evidence whatsoever that anyone who was not a terrorist died in this incident.
Chaim also warns against the idea of bombing Israel on the Ninth of Av, saying that those who are considering doing so should take a lesson from history, showing that it’s always a bad idea. He concludes by talking about the covenant God has with the People of Israel that has remained active throughout history, in which the enemies of Israel have disappeared while the People of Israel have continued to survive and thrive.
