(Day 813) Swords of Iron – “What Will The New Year Bring?”

Chaim starts by saying he’s on a break from the war, in his beloved Galilee region which looks SO MUCH different then Gaza and Lebanon, the two places he’s spent most of the last two years including three winters at the end of 2023, 2024 and now most of the winter of 2025.

But in the Galilee there’s more water and more life, but even amidst the joy, there’s sadness to see demonstrations in Canada and Australia and throughout the free world, people who don’t even know what the word “Intifada” means, chanting that they’re demanding one. Also, many countries condemned Israel for extending diplomatic recognition to Somaliland, as if that’s the worst crime ever. There are many elements in this world that are militating against Israel, and Israel needs a lot of help and protection. It is a miracle, proof that the Jewish people, coming out of the Holocaust, can be resurrected and brought back to life. It’s a story that is still being written, and Chaim says he knows he’s part of it.

At the same time, Chaim thanks his supporters and viewers for sharing the videos and otherwise helping him get his message out, even though social media accounts have been blocked and shadow banned and so on.

But the war against Hamas is still ongoing, as there are tunnels still being demolished and recently, a terrorist infiltrated into northern Israel from Samaria and carried out a ramming and stabbing attack, which left two Israelis dead and two other wounded. The IDF and other security forces are taking care of that situation and pushing back, but Chaim says what’s needed is for Israel to take full stewardship of this area, which is part of the Promised Land, by annexing Judea and Samaria.

Meanwhile, in Syria, the Al-Jolani regime is once again clashing with minority groups and tribes, leading to bloody massacres. That’s happening not very far from where Chaim is filming, and he says “just imagine what would be happening if the IDF didn’t have a buffer zone in southern Syria” to keep all that evil away from Israel’s borders.

Chaim says there’s a lot of activity also in Lebanon and in this context, he quotes Ezekial 1:4; Then I looked, and behold, a whirlwind was coming out of the north, a great cloud with raging fire engulfing itself; and brightness was all around it and radiating out of its midst like the color of amber, out of the midst of the fire.

The end of the video gives a preview of the second season of Chaim’s documentary series which shows sites of Biblical significance in the Land of Israel.
