Day 246 Swords of Iron – “4 Hostages rescued alive!!!”

Chaim starts the video by saying how glad he is to share the news that four Israeli hostages have been rescued and reunited with their loved ones.

He says that he and many other IDF soldiers have been up all night preparing for this mission, carrying it out and then dealing with the aftermath, but it’s all worth it. He says that many people have given up hope of getting these hostages back alive, but the hostages themselves didn’t give up and no one else should either.

Chaim rhetorically asks his viewers if they believe in the power of prayer and in miracles, and he quotes Jeremiah 31:16-17; Thus says the Lord: “Refrain your voice from weeping, and your eyes from tears; For your work shall be rewarded, says the Lord, and they shall come back from the land of the enemy. There is hope in your future, says the Lord, that your children shall come back to their own border.

He next tells his viewers that these four hostages seem to be in good physical condition and he also mentions this sorrow at the passing of an IDF soldier who was severely wounded in the operation and later died of his wounds.

But he says it gives all of the IDF soldiers renewed courage and determination to continue the mission, and he says that even as the Hamas terrorists failed miserably in their battle with the IDF to try and keep these hostages, the IDF is also continuing to destroy terror tunnels and eliminate the terrorists themselves, wherever they find them.

He mentions that the IDF has full control of the Philidelphia Corridor, which is the border between Egypt and Gaza, and otherwise, the IDF has Hamas surrounded and so the military victory over them is close. But another, much bigger conflict with Hezbollah is also looming very close, and that situation needs urgent prayer.

But for now, Chaim says he’s taking a moment to savor the wonderful feeling of bringing these hostages home alive, and he quotes Psalms 32:7; You are my hiding place; You shall preserve me from trouble; You shall surround me with songs of deliverance. Selah to make the point about God preserving these hostages and bringing them home safely.

The video concludes with Chaim showing how he used a drill donated by ARC supporters to change out a spare tire on an IDF vehicle quickly, which is much better than having to do it manually.

(Day 751) Swords of Iron – “Light vs Darkness”

Chaim starts by framing a question about whether or not Hamas can be coerced or convinced to follow through on the terms of the ceasefire agreement, and move from the first phase to the next phase. So far, they have not released the remains of all the hostages who were slain in captivity, and they are showing no signs of disarming.

(Day 750) Swords of Iron – “Drones And Intentions”

Chaim starts by saying it’s good to see the Egyptian teams coming to help look for the remains of hostages under the rubble and wreckage in Gaza. At the same time, Egypt is hosting some of the most dangerous Hamas terrorists who were released from prison as part of the ceasefire deal in a five star hotel.

(Day 748) Swords of Iron – “Pitch Black”

Chaim starts by saying that after spending two years in pitch black tunnels, the Israeli hostages have emerged into the light and they’re home with their families, celebrating Shabbat and the light is breaking out. They’re seeing that righteousness prevails, although it’s not always immediately obvious.
