Day 363 Swords of Iron – “Iran, Russia, China, Turkey, N.Korea?”

Chaim starts off the video by rhetorically asking if the world is going to condemn Iran for launching its massive barrage of ballistic missiles at Israel, and he asks his viewers to put a comment saying they stand with Israel. He then lists the names of the IDF soldiers who have already fallen in battle in Lebanon, and he also talks about how it was when the Iranian missiles came in. Lots of erroneous reports and rumors and speculations immediately began flying around, including about a terrorist takeover of a floor of a hotel in Herzliya. There was also the ACTUAL terrorist shooing attack in Jaffa that claimed 7 victims (and one of the gunmen also died after security forces shot him, while the other gunman survived getting shot and was arrested.)

Chaim says he hasn’t received orders to go to Lebanon yet, but that might come at any time. The IDF’s retaliatory attack on Iran might also come at any moment. The Americans are saying they’re fully behind Israel. They don’t want a war but they know the Iranians can’t be allowed to get away with what they did.

Other Western governments have also issued statements of support for Israel, because they also know Iran can’t be allowed to continue as they have been. But Chaim says rhetorical support is not enough. There needs to be Western troops on the ground in Lebanon, making sure Hezbollah is de-fanged and unable to continue manacing Israel.

Chaim also mentions that the US has warned Iran to back off, but Iran might try calling its friends in Russia, China and North Korea to come to their aid, but no one wants a nuclear war.

In this context, Chaim quotes Jeremiah 49:34-38;  The word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah the prophet against Elam, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, saying, “Thus says the Lord of hosts: ‘Behold, I will break the bow of Elam, the foremost of their might. Against Elam I will bring the four winds from the four quarters of heaven, and scatter them toward all those winds; there shall be no nations where the outcasts of Elam will not go. For I will cause Elam to be dismayed before their enemies and before those who seek their life. I will bring disaster upon them, My fierce anger,’ says the Lord; and I will send the sword after them until I have consumed them. I will set My throne in Elam, and will destroy from there the king and the princes,’ says the Lord.

Chaim concludes that this passage gives us hope that things will end well, but there’s a journey that must happen before we get there.
