“Hear, O Israel” … “For you are a people holy to the Lord your God. The Lord your God has chosen you out of all the peoples on the face of the earth to be his people, his treasured possession.” Deuteronomy 6:4 and 7:6 NIV
Comments: Israel (in blue on the map) is about the size of the state of New Jersey in the U.S. The countries and their proxies surrounding it are trying to annihilate the Jewish people.
Israel is still God’s treasured possession. We would do well to remember it.

You can stay updated on what is happening in Israel best by following Amir Tsarfati on his Telegram channel. Here is a snapshot from one of today’s posts:
“I really don’t think you understand the absolute miracles that we witnessed last night here in Israel. In fact, I am sure you don’t.
Last night, as Iran rained down ballistic missiles on Israel, all three defense systems were activated and implemented to perfection. The chances of all of these incredibly complex systems working in unison as flawlessly as they did last night, are basically non existent.
If one thing went wrong, if one of those ballistic missiles hit an apartment building, a shopping center, or an army base, we would now be burying hundreds of Israelis. And all of that is not even the biggest miracle.
A few hours ago, I got a WhatsApp message from a good friend who is a senior executive at Microsoft and who wasn’t exactly a God fearing Jew. Until yesterday. Here is what he wrote me.
“If you’re looking for miracles man – last night I started believing. Missiles hit all around me but none of them hit my house or any house, for that matter.”
He elaborated some more and shared info about the missiles that he watched land just meters away from very strategic places in Israel, to say the least.
Each one of those defense systems is, in and of itself, pretty miraculous, but what is even more insane is the low casualty numbers from the rockets and missiles that we’re NOT intercepted.
Where did those missiles go? I’ll tell you where. They landed in sand, in water, and in “Empty spaces”.
Have you been to Israel? It’s a microscopic country. What empty spaces? Where are these empty spaces? 🤷♂️
How have hundreds of Iranian ballistic missiles all either get detonated by miraculous systems or totally miss their mark and land in empty spaces causing zero casualties and minimal damage?!
How??
But if you know anything about what had to happen last night and throughout this war in general, for such a low number of casualties, you’ll know that what we witnessed last night was the equivalent of God splitting the sea right before our eyes.
Guess what. When God split the sea, there were those who didn’t believe it was a miracle and didn’t jump in. And there are also those who feel the need to explain it naturally. Ok, that’s fine.
You don’t want to call yesterday an act of God? That’s your choice, but like my Microsoft friend, if you look at these events objectively, you’d have a really hard time seeing those hundreds of deadly missiles land in empty spaces and not see the hand of God.
Last night will go down in history right alongside many of Israel’s accomplishments in this war including the beepers and the unprecedented low ratio between combatant and civilian, as a military operation the likes of which the world has never seen. Ever!
Last night will be analyzed by military strategists and experts for generations. Last night, we witnessed history. Last night we witnessed open miracles.
Last night, we witnessed God in all His glory watching over His children.

As Christians, we are called to uphold the principles of justice, compassion, and truth. We must navigate these complex issues with discernment, rejecting the allure of divisive rhetoric and standing firm against antisemitism in all its forms. In the face of this challenge, may the Church be guided by the power of the Holy Spirit to champion the cause of truth and support the Jewish people amidst the satanic onslaught of antisemitism.

Somebody wake me up because I must be having a bad dream! This is not the America I have known and loved over the last seven decades!
Satan has unleashed his fury and the Church better wake up. It’s not like we haven’t been warned. The Bible tells us over and over about how Satan works. He is a murderer, a liar, a slanderer, and a deceiver. What we are seeing is a manifestation of Satanic influence and deception.
Gen Z thinks a man can say he’s a woman and you better go along. Approximately 1,000,000 babies are murdered each year by abortion because “that’s not a baby in there“. (Really?) College students support the terrorist organization Hamas. And anti-semitism has exploded around the world.
I believe the days are over when we can go about business as usual, ignoring the evil going on around us.
I am reminded of the days of evil during WWII when the Nazis were murdering Jewish men, women, and children by the millions. How did it ever get to that point? Compare what happened then to what is happening now.
There was a progression of anti-Semitic activity. At first, Jewish shops and businesses were boycotted.
Today, in university after university, protesters are demanding that their schools sever any direct or indirect financial and academic links with Israel, including by divesting from companies with ties to Israel.
The Nazis spewed hate-mongering propaganda.
This is happening today. The world’s biggest social media platforms are not just hosting antisemitic and hateful content, they are promoting it and making it easier to find. The result, researchers say, is fomenting dangerous ideas as antisemitic incidents in the U.S. surge to historic levels. USA Today
Between 1937 and 1939, new anti-Jewish regulations segregated Jews and made daily life very difficult for them. Jews could not attend public schools; go to theaters, cinemas, or vacation resorts; or reside or even walk in certain sections of German cities.
Today at American Ivy League universities, protestors bar Jewish students from going to class.

This progressed to the physical destruction of synagogues and Jewish-owned stores, the arrest of Jewish men, the vandalization of homes, and the murder of individuals. My Jewish Learning
This is also happening all over the world today.

2024, Denmark: Protesters vandalized a monument to Jews rescued from the Holocaust.
“Nazi anti-Jewish policy functioned on two primary levels: legal measures to expel the Jews from society and strip them of their rights and property while simultaneously engaging in campaigns of incitement, abuse, terror and violence of varying proportions. There was one goal: to make the Jews leave Germany.” Yad Vashem
Rabbi Elie Buechler, director of OU-LJIC at Columbia/Barnard, told Jewish students at Columbia to leave “as soon as possible” for their own safety until the situation improves.
2024: Pro-Hamas protestors disrupt graduation ceremonies at the University of Michigan
The beginnings of anti-Semitism in Nazi Germany are similar to what we see today on American college campuses.
2024: Columbia University USA
During the Holocaust, some Christian heroes emerged like Corrie ten Boom and Dietrich Bonhoeffer. But very few Christians helped the Jews. Most did nothing.
A wartime decree made “friendliness” toward Jews punishable by imprisonment in a concentration camp. Hiding Jews inside the Reich was risky and difficult. Only a few thousand Jews survived living ‘underground’ or hidden in Nazi Germany. Holocaust Encyclopedia
Eventually, 6 million Jews were murdered in concentration camps throughout Germany.
How will Christians today respond to this unprecedented modern-day anti-Semitism? Are you willing to speak out or will you silently stand by?
Silence in the face of evil is itself evil: God will not hold us guiltless. Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is to act.”
― Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Jesus said, “Love your neighbor as. yourself.”
To Abraham, God said, “I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse” Genesis 12:3
To Israel, God said, “For you are a people holy to the LORD your God. Out of all the peoples on the face of the earth, the LORD has chosen you to be his treasured possession.” Deuteronomy 14:2
“For I could wish that I myself were cursed and cut off from Christ for the sake of my people, those of my own race,the people of Israel. Theirs is the adoption to sonship; theirs the divine glory, the covenants, the receiving of the law, the temple worship and the promises. Theirs are the patriarchs, and from them is traced the human ancestry of the Messiah, who is God over all, forever praised! Amen.” Romans 9:3-5 (emphasis mine)
“For I will take you out of the nations; I will gather you from all the countries and bring you back into your own land.” Ezekiel 36:24
“He will raise a banner for the nations and gather the exiles of Israel; he will assemble the scattered people of Judah from the four quarters of the earth.” Isaiah 11:12
“For this is what the Lord Almighty says: “After the Glorious One has sent me against the nations that have plundered you—for whoever touches you touches the apple of his eye—I will surely raise my hand against them so that their slaves will plunder them. Then you will know that the Lord Almighty has sent me.” Zechariah 2:8-9 (emphasis mine)
