(Day 618) Swords of Iron – “Point of no return”

Chaim starts out by saying everyone in Israel has a bomb shelter and to prove it he quotes Proverbs 18:10; The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are safe.

Chaim says that it’s a tough time in Israel, with a rising death toll, but we’re persevering and we will not be defeated. Nevertheless, the losses are hard to take. Iranian and Houthi ballistic missiles flew thick in the skies over Israel last night, with a few getting through the defenses and destroying sections of Bat Yam and Rehovote, two cities in central Israel. Several Israelis were killed, including children, and many more were wounded.

Israel has been targeting strategic assets of the regime, including ballistic missiles stockpiles and launchers, an oil refinery in Teheran that processes a large percentage of Iran’s domestic fuel supply, and much more. This is making the countries that are ideologically and economically tied to Iran very angry. Russia, Turkey and China are all calling US President Trump demanding that he force Israel to stop it, but so far he’s not showing any signs of doing so.

Meanwhile, the leader of Syria, Abu Muhammed Al-Jolani, is warning that there are signs that a Shi’ite militia based in Iraq will try to use Syrian territory to make an attempt at invading Israel from the north. This is being watched, but so far there is no concrete reasons to worry.

On the contrary, Israel is saying that the way for this to end is for the Ayatollah regime to surrender. If they don’t, Prime Minister Netanyahu says that much stronger action will be taken. As an example of these stronger measures, Chaim talks about strikes on energy infrastructure, which is the main source of revenue for Iran’s regime.

However, there are growing dangers as well. Chaim talks about some of the moves Turkey is making in the situation, which could be very dangerous. There are also pro-Iranian militias in Iraq which might be trying to maneuver their way into threatening Israel.

But Chaim says that Israel is taking the steps it needs to take in order to push these threats back. Those who pray for Israel can look to Ecclesiastes 3:8; A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.

Chaim says that now is a time for war, because its what Israel MUST do in order to protect the Middle East and the whole world from the apocalyptic jihadism that Iran represents.

In this context, Chaim quotes Number 23:24; Look, a people rises like a lioness, and lifts itself up like a lion; It shall not lie down until it devours the prey, and drinks the blood of the slain.”

This is the verse that the Operation Rising Lion comes from, and Chaim says that this accurately describes what’s happening right now, as Israel rises up to destroy the threat from the jihadists who rule in Iran.

The video concludes with pictures and videos of the missile fragments that fell near the Aliyah Return Center in the Galilee this week, and he urges his viewers to continue supporting the ARC.
