Day 149
Chaim starts out the video by introducing a topic that people all over Israel are talking about, and that’s the events that led up to the October 7th, 2023 Hamas massacre of Israelis. How did Israel’s legendary security services fail to see the signs of what was coming? How did the IDF not respond quickly when the first calls for help went out?
Chaim admits that there are many lessons that must be learned and the problem must be studied and analyzed exhaustively in order to get to the bottom of what actually occurred and how to make sure it won’t happen again.
Chaim quotes 1 Peter 5:8; Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.
Chaim says this is a good description of what Hamas does, roaming around looking for a weak spot in the defenses so they can attack, kill, and destroy. He adds that in Israel, Believers and the population in general often have a cavalier attitude about this, not taking the threats from the enemies (and the Enemy) seriously.
Chaim says this is a mistake. We need to be vigilant and watchful, not letting down our guard either in the natural or the spiritual realms. We need to be diligent in prayer and staying alert to what the Enemy is planning so we can stay one step ahead of him.
Chaim concludes the video by asking his viewers to think about what they need to change in themselves in order to shut the doors that the Enemy might be trying to come through in their lives. He asks the viewers to think about just “one thing” that they could change to make their lives more secure against the attacks of the Enemy.
