Day 327 Swords of Iron – “Set the captives free!”

Chaim starts out by talking about how it’s been a season of miracles in Israel, with this latest miraculous rescue of another Israeli hostage being the latest. He quotes David Ben Gurion, the founding father of modern Israel, who said “In Israel, in order to be a realist, you must believe in miracles.”

He recounts some of the other miracles that have accompanied Israel’s military victories over the past 75 years, going back to the 1948 Independence War and even before that. God’s Hand is evident in all of these events, moving in the earth to bring His plans and purposes for Israel and the Jewish People to fruition.

In this context he quotes Zechariah 12:8; In that day the Lord will defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem; the one who is feeble among them in that day shall be like David, and the house of David shall be like God, like the Angel of the Lord before them.

Chaim says that there is a war raging already and a much bigger war with Iran, Hezbollah and all the other terrorist groups that Iran sponsors could break out at any moment. But we’re not afraid.

In this context he quotes Psalms 121:4; Behold, He who keeps Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.

All Israelis know this on some level, and we all believe in miracles because this country is the impossible made possible.

(Day 540) Swords of Iron – “What Color is a Jew?”

Chaim starts out by saying that the IDF is hard at work keeping Israel safe and trying for a quiet weekend, which he says Israel needs in order to recuperate. At the same time, he notes that in Gaza, leaflets were distributed advising the residents to move away from areas that were about to be attacked. There have even been instances when an individual who wasn’t moving out of a building that was about to be struck was called and convinced to leave just before the strike came and destroyed that building. Chaim says this is an example of how the IDF is serious and its warnings should be taken seriously.

(Day 539) Swords of Iron – “Shabbat peace as the storm rages”

The video begins with a montage of combat footage that Chaim has taken before the scene changes to Chaim welcoming in the Sabbath with a group of other soldiers, obviously in battlefield conditions. The Jewish soldiers are all heavily armed and wearing full combat gear, but they are singing, praying and eating the Shabbat meal together just the same.

(Day 538) Swords of Iron – “The Waiting Game”

Chaim starts off by talking about ballistic missile attacks by the Houthis on Jerusalem, and says that as bad as they are, it was much worse before Israel had the Iron Dome and other air defense systems. Chaim also concedes that these systems are very expensive but he mentions the “Iron Beam” laser which will shoot down incoming missiles for a fraction of the cost, and soon everyone will want it.

(Day 537) Swords of Iron – USA Stealth bombers head toward Iran and Yemen

Chaim starts by talking about how the US military is deploying assets to Diego Garcia, a British-owned island in the Indian Ocean which also serves as a major hub for US military operations in the Middle East. Chaim says that all this firepower might soon be unleashed on the Houthis in Yemen, who have no way of defending against it. But the other major target is Iran, and some of their strategic assets are deep underground where even the American mili might have a hard time getting at them. Chaim says that Iran is showing this capability off to the world, clearly hoping to intimidate and discourage the US and Israel rom striking, but that is very unlikely to be successful.
