(Day 785) Swords of Iron – “Hold On To Hope”
Chaim starts by talking about how the tunnels Hamas dug under the ground in Gaza are being found and demolished one after the other, and the terrorists that were hiding in them are either being eliminated or surrendering. Meanwhile, Chaim sees miracles happening in this war, including an incident in Syria where a bullet lodged in the helmet of a soldier instead of penetrating. These small miracles let Chaim know that we’re winning and on the right track.
However, he also mentions all the lies and disinformation flying around, and in Europe, major cities are being taken over by semi-organized gangs of masked thugs calling for jihad and violence. Chaim says he doesn’t know what’ll cause the West to “wake up” and realize what they need to do, but he knows what he has to do. In this context, he quotes Jeremiah 16:14-15; “Therefore behold, the days are coming,” says the Lord, “that it shall no more be said, ‘The Lord lives who brought up the children of Israel from the land of Egypt,’ but, ‘The Lord lives who brought up the children of Israel from the land of the north and from all the lands where He had driven them.’ For I will bring them back into their land which I gave to their fathers.
Chaim says that the Aliyah Return Center, as well as many other organizations and government agencies, are trying to prepare a plan to absorb massive numbers of Jewish immigrants as anti-semitism and other dangers rise around the world. There has even been a formal call made by some Rabbis that now is the time for all the Jews in the world to “come home” to Israel.
In this context, Chaim quotes Psalms 33:20-21; Our soul waits for the Lord; He is our help and our shield. For our heart shall rejoice in Him, because we have trusted in His holy name.
