ARC Israel Updates

Chaim starts by wishing his viewers “Shabbat Shalom” and then immediately says it’s strange to be saying “Shalom” which means “peace” in a time of war.

He says he loves the peaceful feeling of Shabbat when families gather to eat and worship God together. He assures his viewers that “peace will win” and the righteous will win.

He then mentions that some people say God is all about peace and they question why Israel is fighting a war, but then he says that there are passages of Scripture which describe God as a warrior who knows how to defend His children. He’s a “good shepherd” who knows how to care for His sheep.

Chaim says we must follow this example, citing Ecclesiastes 3:8, A time to love, and a time to hate; A time of war, and a time of peace.

The work of defending Israel continues on Shabbat and Chaim says that many of his comrades who are religiously observant and don’t do any work on Shabbat during normal times acknowledge that it’s a priviledge to do this holy work on Shabbat.

Next he asks his viewers to join him in praying for peace in Gaza, but also on Israel’s northern border. He asks them to pray that the hostilities between Israel and the Iranian-backed Hezbollah terror group won’t escalate so that Israeli families can once again gather on Friday evenings to bring in the Shabbat by breaking Challah bread and raising a glass of wine in peace.

He then speaks about the situation in Gaza, where many hostages are still being held by Hamas. The IDF is working hard to destroy the threat that Hamas still poses, taking out many senior Hamas operatives, destroying their weapons manufacturing capability and stocks of weapons.

The video ends with a young girl singing along with a video of the popular Israeli song “Am Israel Chai.”

(Day 596) Swords of Iron – “Trudging on as Shavuot (Pentecost) approaches”

Chaim starts by saying that he’s preparing to attend the funeral of Yaron Lischinsky, 30, and Sarah Lynn Milgrim, 26, two young Israelis diplomats who were murdered in Washington DC by a Pro-Palestinian terrorist last week. Israeli diplomatic missions around the world have increased their security and they are also flying their flags at half mast this week, even as some American officials including US Representative Ilan Omar of Minnesota coldly declined to comment on the attack.

(Day 595) Swords of Iron – “Devastated”

Chaim starts by talking about how difficult Israel’s situation remains, since there are ballistic missiles being fired at Israel by the Houthis in Yemen and ongoing fighting in Gaza and elsewhere.

(Day 594) Swords of Iron – “Brainwash”

Chaim starts out by saying how devastated he is at the news that Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim, two staff members at the Israeli Embassy in Washington DC, were murdered by a pro-Palestinian terrorist in Washington DC on Thursday. Yaron is the son of a well-known tour guide here in Israel, and his family is part of Israel’s Believer community.

(Day 593) Swords of Iron – “Hellbent on Israel’s Destruction”

Chaim starts out by saying that big things are in the offing as China has told all its citizens in Israel to leave the country immediately, as nuclear talks between the US and Iran appear to be breaking down. Israel is determined not to allow Iran to get nuclear weapons and Iran shows no signs of backing down. There is a real chance that full-scale war between Iran and Israel is about to break out.
