(Day 770) Swords of Iron – “Understanding, terms and tactics“

Chaim starts by quoting 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.

He then goes on to talk about the premise of jihadist terrorism, that it takes ordinary people and molds them into an army to attack democracy, freedom and the Bible, not necessarily in that order.

He explains that this is supported by some of the basic tenets of mainstream Islam, that the world is divided into “the house of war” where Islam has not yet become dominant and “the house of peace” where it has. There is another idea in Islam that if a Muslim military force gets to a point where it cannot wage jihad anymore, it is permissible to engage in a “hudna” or “temporary truce during which time this force will regroup and prepare for another round of conflict.

Chaim says we must have our eyes open and see what is going on, even in democracies, even in America, where there is an organized effort to do things that seem good, like donate money to universities, but there is a purpose behind these organizations, and that purpose is to set the stage for the next step in the jihadist agenda.

Chaim concludes by quoting Psalms 121:7-8; The Lord shall preserve you from all evil;

He shall preserve your soul. The Lord shall preserve your going out and your coming in

From this time forth, and even forevermore.
