February 2nd 2024 – Day 118
Chaim starts the video by saying that these are very difficult times and he thanks his viewers for standing in prayer with the IDF as it fights against evil, barbaric forces.
He gives some examples of the barbarism including materials that have been discovered in Hamas indoctrination centers. This, he says, shows the generations of indoctrination that Palestinians have been subjected to by their terrorist tyrants.
He says that the US appears to be ready to retaliate against Iran for its attacks on US troops in the region. He says that the IDF Home Front Command has issued a warning about serious difficulties ahead if there is a war with Hezbollah, which looks increasingly likely. If things get really bad there might be electricity blackouts for several days, water shortages and many other problems. Civilians need to be ready for all kinds of contingencies.
Schools could be closed, the internet will be down, cash withdrawals from the bank will be impossible, etc. So the IDF Home Front Command is telling civilians to have first aid kits, blankets, non-perishable food, flashlights, etc. ready to go.
Chaim says that Israel is like the canary in the coal mine and as things go in Israel, so they could start going in the whole world.
But he also quotes Psalms 9; 13-15; Have mercy on me, O Lord! Consider my trouble from those who hate me, You who lift me up from the gates of death, that I may tell of all Your praise in the gates of [e]the daughter of Zion. I will rejoice in Your salvation.
The nations have sunk down in the pit which they made; In the net which they hid, their own foot is caught.
Chaim concludes by saying he “stands on these words” and he encourages his viewers to also take courage and “keep our hope on the God of Israel.”
