Day 390 Swords of Iron – “Isaiah 40 Comfort my people”

Chaim starts the video by mentioning that 12,000 Israelis have been wounded since this war began, most of them soldiers but also some civlians who were wounded in terrorist attacks or rocket attacks. He then adds that these are very difficult times in Israel for this and many other reasons, including the large number of PTSD cases among returning soldiers and even many civilians.

Chaim says that in these circumstance, there is a verse that is highly relevent; Isaiah 40:1; “Comfort, yes, comfort My people!” Says your God”

However, he says that great progress is also being made and this war won’t last forever. He mentions a vote in the Knesset to ban UNRWA from operating in Israel, and limiting its access to Judea and Samaria and the Gaza Strip. This is because of the direct involvement of UNRWA employees in the atrocities of October 7th, 2023.

Chaim says that he’s been waking up to head bad news almost every day for over a year, and he says its very important to stand with soldiers who have been fighting in this war for freedom and we also need to especially remember to stand with and support the families of soldiers who have been killed or wounded in action.

He mentions that Iran has found a replacement for Hassan Nasrallah to lead Hezbollah, and this new leader is vowing to continue the battle against Israel, but Chaim has no doubt Hezbollah will be defeated.

In this context, he quotes Psalms 138:7; Though I walk in the midst of trouble, You will revive me; You will stretch out Your hand against the wrath of my enemies, and Your right hand will save me.

Chaim says he’s standing on this promise, and he thanks his viewers for standing with him.

The video concludes with scenes from a picnic that the Aliyah Return Center was able to give some IDF soldiers because the viewers support the ARC.
