Day 365 Swords of Iron – “Running the race”
Chaim starts the video by telling his viewers he’s coming to them from the hills above the Sea of Galilee and he can see the Aliyah Return Center from where he’s standing. It was a year ago that he was in the Tabernacle down there when they received the news that the Hamas terrorists had crossed into Israel and carried out a massacre and shortly thereafter he was mobilized into the IDF to fight in this war. He’s stayed mobilized almost the entire time, and he’s watched as one senior terrorist after another has faced justice. He mentions the senior leadership of Hezbollah, to say nothing of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps Quds force, who have been taken out by the IDF in Lebanon one after another.
Chaim says that it doesn’t pay to be a terrorist, but Iran is going to keep trying to hit Israel with its ballistic missiles. They’re learning about Israel’s defenses with each barrage and they’re going to continue trying to get through.
But Chaim points out how no matter how many weapons are fired into Israel by Iran and its proxies, they aren’t doing much damage or causing many casualties. Chaim declares that Israel won’t give up and won’t be terrorized.
As Israel’s enemies are being judged, Chaim feels compelled to recite Psalms 1;
Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the path of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful; But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and in His law he meditates day and night. He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also shall not wither; and whatever he does shall prosper. The ungodly are not so, but are like the chaff which the wind drives away. Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. For the Lord knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the ungodly shall perish.
As we see the developments with Iran, we don’t know where it’s heading, but Chaim quotes Isaiah 54:17; No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue which rises against you in judgment you shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is from Me,” Says the Lord.
Chaim thanks his viewers for their continued prayers and for continuing to stand strong. He says that this is the Land of the Bible and God’s plans and purposes for it WILL come to fruition, and if he himself didn’t believe that, he would have checked out a long time ago.
