Day 300 Swords of Iron – “It Has Begun”

Chaim starts by reminding his viewers that he has been deployed in his IDF unit since the war began on October 7th, 2023, and he’s spent a lot of his time in Gaza looking for the hostages that were kidnapped into the Strip on that horrible day.

But, he says, now things have escalated sharply and it could be the beginning of something really big, possibly even WWIII. He says that the US Navy has increased the deployment of ships in and around the Middle East, but Israelis are bracing for what Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned could be “very difficult days ahead.”

This is because Iran is threatening to launch a massive assault against Israel following the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Teheran and Hezbollah leader Fuad Shukr in Beruit over the past few days.

Both of these men had long careers in terrorism and Shukr had a $5 million price on his head from the US State Department for his many crimes, going back to the bombing of the US Marine barracks in Beruit in 1983.

But everyone is on edge right now, waiting to see what happens next. Some airlines have stopped flying to Israel and/or Lebanon, while Israel is considering all the options for a pre-emptive strike on their enemies. Sheik Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of Hezbollah, is threatening that Israel will never know where a strike against it might come from, the east, west, north of south. Chaim says that Nasrallah should be careful because a strike against him could come from any direction as well.

In any case, Chaim asks his viewers to increase their prayers for Israel because this situation is very unstable and could end very badly. He says that he’s in the Galilee right now, and rockets are being fired into the region non-stop from Lebanon.

He says that many residents have stocked their bomb shelters with food and other emergency supplies, and this feels like “go time.”

He concludes by asking his viewers to read Psalms 83 with him.

Do not keep silent, O God! Do not hold Your peace, and do not be still, O God! For behold, Your enemies make a tumult; ad those who hate You have lifted up their head. They have taken crafty counsel against Your people, ad consulted together against Your sheltered ones. They have said, “Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation, tat the name of Israel may be remembered no more.”

For they have consulted together with one consent; They form a confederacy against You: The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites; Moab and the Hagrites; Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek; hilistia with the inhabitants of Tyre; Assyria also has joined with them; Tey have helped the children of Lot. Selah

Deal with them as with Midian, a with Sisera, as with Jabin at the Brook Kishon, Who perished at En Dor, who became as refuse on the earth.

 Make their nobles like Oreb and like Zeeb, yes, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna, who said, “Let us take for ourselves the pastures of God for a possession.”

 O my God, make them like the whirling dust, like the chaff before the wind! As the fire burns the woods, and as the flame sets the mountains on fire, So pursue them with Your tempest, and frighten them with Your storm. Fill their faces with shame, that they may seek Your name, O Lord. Let them be confounded and dismayed forever;  Yes, let them be put to shame and perish, that they may know that You, whose name alone is the Lord, are the Most High over all the earth.

(Day 689) Swords of Iron – “Will They Ever Learn?”

Chaim starts by saying that the Houthis in Yemen have been hit hard by the IDF in response to all the ballistic missiles and drones they keep firing at the one democracy in the Middle East, but they just don’t seem to be getting the message that it’s time to stop.

(Day 688) Swords of Iron – “No Greater Love”

Chaim starts out by saying that it’s very painful to see IDF soldiers killed in action. He’s filming from the site of a small memorial that have been built to these soldiers, to add the name of Lt. Ori Gerlic, 20, a platoon commander in the Kfir Brigade who was killed by an accidental premature explosion of a charge that had been set to demolish a Hamas position in Khan Yunis over the weekend.

(Day 687) Swords of Iron –  “Secret Weapon”

Chaim starts out by saying he wants to show his viewers a “secret weapon” that IDF soldiers carry into battle with them, and it’s cards with the Psalms and other Bible verses written on them. These cards, which soldiers carry so they can read the verses and proclaim them over themselves and their comrades and their country, give them spiritual strength when other forms of strength fail them.

(Day 686) Swords of Iron – “Gearing Up For Triumph”

Chaim starts by describing how many drones and rockets Hamas is firing at the humanitarian aid convoys as they’re on their way into the Gaza Strip, and he says that this is going on right out in the open and the international media is giving Hamas a pass on it once again. Meanwhile, there are some Palestinians who are standing up to Hamas, including the Abu Shabab militia, which don’t like Israel much but really hates Hamas and so they’re fighting Hamas for control of the streets in Gaza. Chaim says they might be helpful in the takeover of Gaza City.
