Are You Making Aliyah?

ARC Israel Updates

Chaim begins by quoting the Book of Numbers 10:9; And when you go to war in your land against the enemy who attacks you, then you shall sound an alarm with the trumpets, so that you will be thought of by the Lord your God, and be saved from your enemies.

He invites his viewers to send in a trumpet blast for the whole world to hear.

He also mentions that this would ordinarily be “Aliyah Day” when students in schools would celebrate Jewish people coming home to their ancestral homeland. But because schools in much of Israel are closed and life is being massively disrupted for hundreds of thousands of people, that holiday is not receiving much attention.

He adds that life is also being disrupted for residents of the Gaza Strip, with many of them taking Israel’s advice to move out of the conflict zone in the northern section of the Strip, but many more staying in the northern section with Hamas unapologetically using them as human shields.

Hezbollah has also been stepping up its attacks on Israel coming from Lebanon. But it could have been worse, as the Hamas terrorists had the ability to use chemical weapons against Israelis but that was prevented.

Chaim mentions the hostages that Hamas released, but also the hostages it still holds.

He then references Jeremiah 31:15-16; This is what the Lord says: “A voice is heard in Ramah, lamenting and bitter weeping. Rachel is weeping for her children; She refuses to be comforted for her children, because they are no more.”

This is what the Lord says: “Restrain your voice from weeping and your eyes from tears; For your work will be rewarded,” declares the Lord, “And they will return from the land of the enemy.

He encourages his viewers to hold fast to that promise and keep praying for him and his comrades because they’re ready to do their part to fulfill the promises in these Scriptures.

(Day 540) Swords of Iron – “What Color is a Jew?”

Chaim starts out by saying that the IDF is hard at work keeping Israel safe and trying for a quiet weekend, which he says Israel needs in order to recuperate. At the same time, he notes that in Gaza, leaflets were distributed advising the residents to move away from areas that were about to be attacked. There have even been instances when an individual who wasn’t moving out of a building that was about to be struck was called and convinced to leave just before the strike came and destroyed that building. Chaim says this is an example of how the IDF is serious and its warnings should be taken seriously.

(Day 539) Swords of Iron – “Shabbat peace as the storm rages”

The video begins with a montage of combat footage that Chaim has taken before the scene changes to Chaim welcoming in the Sabbath with a group of other soldiers, obviously in battlefield conditions. The Jewish soldiers are all heavily armed and wearing full combat gear, but they are singing, praying and eating the Shabbat meal together just the same.

(Day 538) Swords of Iron – “The Waiting Game”

Chaim starts off by talking about ballistic missile attacks by the Houthis on Jerusalem, and says that as bad as they are, it was much worse before Israel had the Iron Dome and other air defense systems. Chaim also concedes that these systems are very expensive but he mentions the “Iron Beam” laser which will shoot down incoming missiles for a fraction of the cost, and soon everyone will want it.

(Day 537) Swords of Iron – USA Stealth bombers head toward Iran and Yemen

Chaim starts by talking about how the US military is deploying assets to Diego Garcia, a British-owned island in the Indian Ocean which also serves as a major hub for US military operations in the Middle East. Chaim says that all this firepower might soon be unleashed on the Houthis in Yemen, who have no way of defending against it. But the other major target is Iran, and some of their strategic assets are deep underground where even the American mili might have a hard time getting at them. Chaim says that Iran is showing this capability off to the world, clearly hoping to intimidate and discourage the US and Israel rom striking, but that is very unlikely to be successful.
