ARC Israel Updates

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.

(Day 563) Swords of Iron – “Drive Terror Out”

Chaim starts by saying he remembers the day he got the call to come to his IDF reserve unit because the war was starting and he was needed. He talks about others he knows who did the same, even though many of them were very busy and had a lot going on, they all dropped what they were doing and ran to join their units. They all thought it would be a short war like so many others before it, but this war has lasted over a year and a half and there’s no end in sight.

(Day 562) Swords of Iron – “Fell in the line of duty”

Chaim starts by saying it’s always tragic when the IDF suffers casualties, and he honors Warrant Officer G’haleb Sliman Alnasasra, 35, of Rahat, who was killed in action over the weekend. Several other soldiers were wounded in the attack, which occurred in an area that was believed to have been cleared of hostile actors, but Hamas had a tunnel that had not been demolished yet and some Hamas guys popped up out of that tunnel and fired an RPG at an IDF vehicle and then later as a rescue vehicle was headed towards the scene Hamas detonated an IED and inflicted more casualties.

(Day 561) Swords of Iron – “Name a Hero of yours”

Chaim starts the video by asking his viewers to leave a comment talking about who their heroes are. He then tells the story of one of his personal heroes, Fredreich Bonhoofer, who was a pastor in Germany who publicly stood against the Nazi regime and was also involved in the plot to assassinate Adolf Hitler in July 1944. His great legacy is that although he was a pacifist, he said that to not take action in the face of evil, and to not speak out in the face of evil, was to support evil and to become evil.
