SUNDAY.

Quoting Willie, “often people say that “seeing is believing”; which has become one of the biggest lies from the devil that people have bought into.”

Willie is right. Our nation's entire history is woven with the actions of the Unseen God. Even now His unseen hand is guiding our lives. Mortally wounded soldiers are returning to their families alive after short hospital care. IAF flew to Iran, yet no country saw them flying over. Our unseen God is at work here, all the time.

The long war is taking its toll on the nation. People are trying to prepare for Pesach (Passover) and an added anxiety of deferred hope creeps in. Are the abducted hostages on their way home? Will they join us at the Seder table?

(Malachi 4:5-6) “See, I will send you the prophet Elijah before that great and dreadful day of the Lord comes. He will turn the hearts of the fathers to their children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers; or else I will come and strike the land with a curse.”

Every Seder Pesach, a silver cup full of wine is set in the middle of the festive table – Elijah Cup. In my family, the cup of Elijah was always full until the morning. We opened the door during the reading to see if Elijah was knocking. An anticipation for the Messiah.

(Matthew 17:11) Yeshua answered and said to them, “Indeed, Elijah is coming first and will restore all things.”

Since the State of Israel was established, there is an empty chair at the table as a memorial for the 6 million Jews who were burned by the Nazis. In time, the chair became a symbol for the memories of all Jews who fought in the two world wars, as well as, those who fell on our land in all the wars from The War of Independence (November 1947) until today. The nation never forgets its heroes.

Passover is the time when the 12 tribes became one nation. Coming out of Egypt, from slavery to freedom, means much to our people. It is the start of our unity: one nation - under one God - speaking one language - in one promised land. All the uniting times of coming to freedom are celebrated in this feast. Coming out from Egypt, surviving the Holocaust, returning from Exiles, establishing the State of Israel.

There is no wonder that our hearts, minds and emotions are so tied to the return of the abducted hostages from Hamas. It is the time to bring them home, to their family tables, celebrate their freedom, and once again to be united as a nation.

Differed hope is expressed in daily conversations around town. Complaining and reciting names of places where rockets and drones fell are often heard. However, when we say Elohim Gadol – meaning, God is great, the positive hope takes over. Everyone, regardless if they believe or not, changed their tunes, “Yes, we'll make it, God is looking after us and fights with us, we'll be fine, the abducted will return and there will be peace.”

Willie and I prayed for the last 133 abductees to return. We both feel assurance that they will be back for Pesach. Willie shared yesterday, that he sees Sinwar surrounded by the Hostages walking out of the tunnels. We are told that Sinwar had been using them as human shields, so it is not surprising that he might do that.

All I can say is, Amen to that vision. Let them come home.

(Exodus 9:1) ‘This is what the Lord, the God of the Hebrews, says: “Let my people go, so that they may worship me.”

Chag Pesach Sameach to all of Israel, and all of its friends, here and abroad. 

May we celebrate it in freedom and in peace on our land.

THURSDAY

Wounded arrived at Nahariya Hospital yesterday. The Hospital staff is overworking already. The PM spoke to the other countries who insisted that they should tell him how to run this war. He thanked them for their suggestions but added that Israel will make its own final decisions.

Our PM is right, Israel has to make its own decisions, we know the truth on the ground and know how to protect ourselves. Many of us are praying for God to direct our political and IDF leadership so they will follow the heavenly plan. We recall that Joshua was given battle plans by God that didn't always sound like army attacks, but they worked. We believe that our current leadership can be directed by God as well.

FRIDAY

(Psalm 41:1-3) Blessed is he that considered the poor: the Lord will deliver him in time of trouble. The Lord will preserve him, and keep him alive; and he shall be blessed upon the earth: upon the bed of languishing: thou wilt make all his bed in his sickness.

I've been busy with travels and eye doctors and preparing for Passover, thus, even though I continued to pray and to listen to the Lord, I did not take time to blog. I am positive that the war news has reached everyone. As results, Iran and others who were attacking us had slowed down, there were very few sirens in the north of Israel. Praise God.

(Hebrews 6:13-15) For when God made a promise to Abraham since he had no one greater by whom to swear, he swore by himself, saying, "Surely I will bless you and multiply you." And thus Abraham, having patiently waited, obtained the promise.

Tonight is the beginning of Big Shabbat. The Shabbat before Passover. This day is believed to be a Shabbat full of special blessings and answers to prayers. For the 196th time, I am asking God to bring our abducted people home from the tunnels of Hamas in Gaza. May we see a positive answer by Seder Pesach. Amen.

Shabbat Shalom Everyone.

I Just Woke Up From An Unexpected Nap And Said To Willie: “If They Cancel The Gathering In Pesach, The Government Will Fall, And The Government Knows It. Start Packing, We're Going To Seder Pesach As Planned.”

At The Same Time, A Picture Was Posted By A Friend:

“Severe Weather In Iran Has Turned The Beach Blood Red In Hormuz.” She used JBN (Jewish Breaking News)As her source.

She also posted Some scientific facts:

I Don't Care. God Created It All However He Did It And Whenever He Did It. I Believe It Is Now The Beginning Of The Next Set Of Miraculous Plagues. 

Another Picture Was Shown On The JBN (Jewish Breaking News) https://www.instagram.com/jewishbreakingnews/, which said that 110 Missiles Were Directed At Israel On Saturday. None Arrived. Reported by Trey Yingt from Fox News. https://www.instagram.com/p/C51HoAYOgC6/

After All Of The Above, I Know In My Knower That The Hostages Are Coming Home By Pesach. I Continue To Pray Until They Arrive On Israeli Soil.

In Israel Miracles Are The Norm, Not The Unexpected. We Have Them Daily. I Often Feel That Without Them We Will Not Stay Alive.

If You Read These, See The Pictures And Yet You Do Not Believe In God And You Don't Believe In Miracles, You Must Be Dead.

(Psalm 77:14) You are the God who does wonders;

You have declared Your strength among the peoples.

Salute' to Vera

We went by bus to Acco to Bituach Leumi's yearly fun time and said goodbye to Vera Shalom, the boss of the volunteers all over Israel. At one point there were 5,100 volunteers and she was their “head”. She is retiring. We love her very much and It feels as if no one will be able to fill in her shoes. She will be greatly missed.

Even though we left our positions, Willie and I were both invited. The office staff refused to accept our leaving, “You'll be back” they said,” it is only for a short time”. I'm glad we went, it was fun to meet everyone again and also to meet some new people. It was good.

Drink H2O

It is getting warm over here.

In the last few years, I learned to drink water. Now, I am all set up. Each day I start with 6 – 500 ml bottles filled and by the end of the day, I refill them all with filtered water. This way I drink 3 liters of water a day. It is essential. Not only does it help to replenish our strength but also it calms our anxiety – absolutely a matter of life and death. So drink your water daily people.

Free The Abducted. 

We are looking forward and we are praying for Passover. We need to have the time to be close to God and to each other. We pray that we'll be able to come together and that the Home Office will not feel that the enemy is too strong for us to gather in one place since many are trying to celebrate it together. We ask that God will save the abducted hostages to come out free of captivity and free from any trauma, emotional – spiritual – physical. We ask God that He will bring His people home.

(Ex. 12:14) "This day shall be for you a memorial day,

and you shall keep it as a feast to the LORD;

throughout your generations, as a statute forever, you shall keep it as a feast.

SWORDS OF IRON WAR. MONDAY

Below is a video from two nights ago, while "all" of Israel was awake - so I am told – including us:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DBMLpLDTO2A

I wonder why they redirected the rockets sent toward the Dome of the Rock. Iran destroying the Dome... mmm... what a thought...

Last night we slept very well. The night was delightfully quiet and we had perfect weather as well.

Right now, I am at my desk, hearing airplanes flying overhead and booming from the border. The sound of war. Praying.

Yesterday, we boarded the train and went to the zoo. There is a small zoo in a town not far from us, that we never visited before but have heard a lot about it. A delightful way to celebrate our birthdays. We visited a special Lego display and the restaurant on the grounds. We walked the park and visited the zoo on a day full of sunshine, laughter and young families. I'm glad it stayed open for our visit. A day of forgetting the war, a day full of life.

Willie is at his post at the hospital. I'm at home drinking lots of water, writing the blog and sorting the pictures from our zoo visit. A good day to pray.

Did you know? The most looked-up words in Israel at this time on Google are “Thilim Neged Tilim” - Psalms against the Rockets...

Lion from Lego

Psalm 91 immediately comes to mind:

He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High
Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress;
My God, in Him I will trust.”

These are only the first two verses, there are 14 more verses in your bible...

May God bless your day.

SWORDS OF IRON WAR. SHABBAT

(Lamentation 3:21-24)

This I recall to my mind, Therefore I have hope.

Through the Lord’s mercies we are not consumed,

Because His compassions fail not.

They are new every morning;

 Great is Your faithfulness.

“The Lord is my portion,” says my soul,

“Therefore I hope in Him!”

No sirens for 24 hours only warnings that Iran is planning to attack. Then, last night, they sent rockets and aircraft all night long. We slept well in Nahariya but in Haifa and on Carmel Mountain they heard many aircraft during the night.

This morning all is quiet again. Willie took the bus to the Khila, I'm staying at home.

A Birthday Call 🤙 

SWORDS OF IRON WAR. THURSDAY

Thank you God for my life. My birthday is the 11th of April (Gregorian) and the 10th of Nisan (Hebrew) . I am 78 today; and, I am not waiting until April 18 when the 10^th of Nisan will fall this year. It is good to have another birthday, I feel alive.

God numbers our days. He is still counting for me...

(Job 14:5-6)

Since his days are determined, the number of his months is with you;
you have appointed his limits, so that he cannot pass.
look away from him that he may rest, till like a hired man he finishes his day.

Thank you for all the calls, emails, notes and good wishes that came my way. It is a blessing hearing from each and everyone of you. A Delight. Thank you so much.

Press on,  continue toward the goal of knowing Him and His goodness. This is the will of God. If we lack wisdom, James 1:5 reminds us to ask for it and we will get wisdom. I pray that God gives wisdom to our leaders, so they can press on.  

Thank You God for the rain in the spring and for the difficulties of crossing streets in unexpected flooding.

GOD OF THE BREAKTHROUGH

Micah 2:13

The one who breaks open will come up before them; They will break out, Pass through the gate, And go out by it; Their king will pass before them, With the Lord at their head.”

I pray this over our abductees as long as they are held hostage.

SIGNS OF THE END OF TIME

Revelation 6: 12-17

I looked when He opened the sixth seal, and behold, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became like blood. And the stars of heaven fell to the earth, as a fig tree drops its late figs when it is shaken by a mighty wind. Then the sky receded as a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved out of its place. And the kings of the earth, the great men, the rich men, the commanders, the mighty men, every slave and every free man, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains, and said to the mountains and rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of Him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! For the great day of His wrath has come, and who is able to stand?”

2Corinthians 10:4

For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds

Last day of Ramadan when 200,000 Muslims completed the fast peacefully on the Temple Mount. No major interruptions occurred. I thank God for this breakthrough. Willie had a vision before the fast, he saw millions of angels showing themselves to the worshipers on the Temple Mount and we believe that his vision came to pass.

Ephesians 5: 6-8

Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience. Therefore do not be partakers with them. For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light.

The scriptures quoted are some of the ones pointed to me during the last 3 days. I wrote them here feeling that a major shift coincides with global events including the Full Eclipse, the falling of the Baltimore Bridge, earthquakes across the globe, and the IDF pulling out of South Gaza while the refugees were given an opportunity to move to another camp. It is also a new Biblical Year and the Sinagoug behind our home celebrated last night with a new Torah Scroll.

The abductees are still being held hostage. My heart pains. My prayers are with them daily. I also pray that this horrible time in the tunnels will be a time for them to meet Yeshua and be comforted.

Happy New Biblical Year everyone.

MONDAY - 07.04.2024

A challenge to self: find one thing that is hard to be thankful for, and Thank God for it anyway.

Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things. (Philippians 4:8)

One of the hardest things for me during this war, is to praise God for the situation. I thank Him for the miracles, for bringing the soldiers home and for everyone that survives this mayhem. Yet, it is hard not to tell Him how to run things.

So I thought that I need to start thanking Him daily for at least one thing that is hard to be thankful for. A challenge, we'll see how long I can do it.

“Tkufat Maavar” - transitional period. This is the Israeli description for Spring and Autumn. It was 22 Celsius and sunny yesterday while today, the grey sky is crying rain.

I've been cold daily even when the temperature is 21 Celsius as it is today. Our son told me it is so because I'm old. Old people suffer from colds.

So God... thank you for my great age that is feeling cold daily. I would not want the alternative at this time...

Amen.

SIX MONTHS - DAY 184. SWORDS OF IRON WAR

. 07.04.2024. SUNDAY

Willie's Orchid is growing.

Mathematically, I calculated 180 days as six months (180/30=6). But... By the calendar, today is 6 months into the war. I stand correct.

From what I hear around me, people are settling to survive another 6 months. The 134 abducted are still held captive; Hamas is not defeated, and the North is heated up. Hence the population is expecting a longer war than ever. It has been a long time for the modern-day Israel.

I pray that God will shorten these days.

We had a leisurely walk to the beach and met a friend. We had lunch at our favourite place and walked happily home. Almost 5 km total.

It is 20:33 and the Alerts restarted just now in Upper Galil, along the confrontation line. Rockets and hostile aircraft approached us in North Golan, Gaza Envelope, and Eilat during the day. Yet, it feels peaceful. Weird.

Being Sunday I was blessed with hearing from my sons in Canada. I also heard the Canadian Geese calling over the Park Reserve Lake behind their abode. I love that sound.

Tomorrow over North America, one might see the eclipse. I wish you a non-cloud day so it can be seen. Have a blessed week everyone.

DAY 183. SWORDS OF IRON WAR.

SHABBAT.

We heard the booming from the navy ships near Nahariya this morning. For the first time ever. It took us a few minutes to figure out what that sound meant.

We continued with our Shabbat activities of worshiping God and listening to the sermon; We had the privilege to be invited to a group lunch and be driven home by a friend. It is good to be in the house of the Lord and with His people.

We are meeting many young people from all over the world. Some are studying in the Technion and University in Haifa and are doing their post-doctorate. The couple in the picture will be going back to India at the end of April. Others are staying a few more months and they are from various countries in Africa. A brilliant generation.

During the day, rockets were sent toward the confrontation line, no news regarding it. New Jersey earthquake came when the UN is having a discussion against Israel. I'm hearing more often that these events are connected – if USA and UN go against Israel, more problems that they cannot solve will come on them, God is not mock and Israel are His people.

It would be better if He finishes with the terrorists. But then, I don't know His agenda and I cannot tell Him how to react. So we are waiting to see what He will bring in the future.

(Isaiah 46:10) I make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come. I say, ‘My purpose will stand, and I will do all that I please.’

Have a good week everyone.

DAY 182. SWORDS OF IRON WAR.

 FRIDAY.

I'm Ready!

Tension is mounting. Prayers intensifying.

IDF spokesman specifically said not to buy into the panic – no generators, no extra cash to take out, nothing to rush about for. We've had training, we received a huge first aid kit in a red backpack, our safe spaces updated professionally, we have plenty of water bottles, and 4-5 weeks of medications. Personally, I would love to have some training in Krav-Maga for the elderly, but there are no classes in Nahariya. Even if I had those classes, it might help my self-assurance while I walk in the streets but it will not help against rockets, or terrorists slaughtering.

So, keep in shape! Go for walks. Eat healthy. Take vitamins. Pray. Praise. Pray.

While in prayers, I heard a few times, “God dwells in the praises of His people”.

Meaning: when you are in an airport, find a public piano and start singing praises.

Willie & I prayed and praised Him. We asked for safety in all the airports, especially in Israel; safety in the air for the crew and the travellers; and safety on the ground while driving home. We “hi-jacked” the airplanes in His name and sent hosts of angles to protect our friends and their children on these flights.

We praised God for giving us the prayers and the privilege to pray to Him to know Him and to believe that He answers prayers. We also asked that He will bounced our friends up to first class so they could stretch and rest on the way home. Many of these flights take long hours and are physically taxing. I am not sure how the crew members can handle it daily.

(Psalm 22:3-5)

But You are holy, Enthroned in the praises of Israel.
Our fathers trusted in You; They trusted, and You delivered them.
They cried to You, and were delivered; They trusted in You, and were not ashamed.

DAY 181. SWORDS OF IRON WAR.

Ready for sirens

THURSDAY. 

Willie read my note to self and bought lots of chocolate balls, we are ready for any unexpected siren! Yea. Mind you, I expect to run out of them before any sirens hurt our ears again.

While my man was in his volunteering post doing EKG and such, I started on Passover cleaning at home. Every year I plan 3 weeks of cleaning for the holidays, and this year I started a few days late. The linen closet is now spotless. I emptied it, wiped it clean, rearranged things and put some big items in big bags, planning to give them away. The wash is done, and Willie came home and cleaned a window. Now to ironing, and to planning the rest of the dust-attack. It seems to take longer each year, it must be the age thing. But, all has to be done before the Passover, according to a very important Mitzvah in the Torah, “thou shall clean your dwelling from all Leaven and cook weird foods, enough to feed the army”, (based on Exodus 12:15).

Reality check: And be exhausted for the High Holidays.

The entire time I thought to myself, 'Lebanon better not send to us rockets or the whole hard work will be for nothing and the place will be full of dust and broken cement'.

Illogical? Not really. After all, we did have sirens the other evening.

Our congregation plans to have a “together Seder”; Yes, we signed up. That's a treat. They even arranged for the two of us a place to sleep overnight since no public transportation is available. I am looking forward to it. I love Pesach.

Back to the grind...

Wishing a blessing to each of you from the Freedom Giver.

6 MONTHS! DAY 180. SWORDS OF IRON WAR.

city-hall warning

WEDNESDAY

I realized later on that I panicked last night because Willie does what everyone here does when the sirens sound – opens the big bay window and looks up to see the rockets, and maybe take a picture... Scary!

I can understand that. We are on the “confrontation line” and the rocket falls before or during the sirens. No time to open your door and go down to the shelter. Getting a picture of the rocket is a better use of one's time. The Home Front will never agree to it, but the local crowd is out on their balconies.

01:15 the Jackals are whining.

I fell asleep at 22:30. It took three hours to recover from the sirens, including a calming hot shower and cuddling with the cat. By 12:30 I lay awake again, listening to the sounds of the night. No sounds rose from the park behind us. Often, there is the odd chirping, a dog bark, teenagers strolling home, some praying souls leaving the synagogue... nothing tonight. The cat jumped back on the bed, knowing I was lying awake in the dark. Her occasional purring mixed with Willie's soft breathing and dream mumbling. The quiet was telling.

By 01:15 the local bike came to life, reeving its motor and leaving behind its annoying sound as it sped into the night. Then the Jackals began their hunt. I returned to bed at 03:00 after prayers, forcing myself to sleep so I could join the 06:00 o'clock prayer group. For us in the city, the war is taxing our strength. Many people in the Home Front are simply tired.

This morning, I was late – woke up at 06:30. it is 180 days for the war and 24 days for Ramadan. The group is praying for all who pray on the Mountain Of God and they declare God's love through Psalm 24. What a love you have God that Your people pray for all the Israelis to be saved, as well as, for their enemies!

Taiwan had a 7.7 earthquake & Japan had a tsunami around 07:00 local time – 02:00 Israel time. Some of us were awake last night at the time. Did you tell us to pray for your people in the Far East at that time? God, please help the people who live at these countries and save the ones trapped under the rubble.

(Psalm 24) The earth is the Lord’s, and all its fullness, The world and those who dwell therein.
For He has founded it upon the seas, And established it upon the waters.

Who may ascend into the hill of the Lord? Or who may stand in His holy place?
He who has clean hands and a pure heart, Who has not lifted up his soul to an idol,
Nor sworn deceitfully.

He shall receive blessing from the Lord, And righteousness from the God of his salvation.
This is Jacob, the generation of those who seek Him, Who seek Your face. Selah

Lift up your heads, O you gates! And be lifted up, you everlasting doors!
And the King of glory shall come in. Who is this King of Glory?
The Lord strong and mighty, The Lord mighty in battle.
Lift up your heads, O you gates! Lift up, you everlasting doors!
And the King of glory shall come in.
Who is this King of Glory?

The Lord of hosts, He is the King of Glory.

Cardinals - puzzle

19:37 – AN AMBULANCE SCREECHED ACROSS THE STREET AND A SIREN SOUNDED VERY LOUD AND I CALLED “WILLIE” AND DID NOT HEAR HIM ANSWER AS THE HEADPHONES WERE ON MY HEAD WHILE I LISTENED TO A SHORT FILM AND I PANICKED “WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU WILLIE?”

19:38 MY WHATSAPP LIT UP GREEN WITH AT LEAST 10 CALLS, “ARE YOU GUYS OK? NAHARIYA HAD SIRENS?” SOME OF THESE WERE FROM THE USA, OTHER CITIES IN ISRAEL, NONE FROM NAHARIYA. THEY MUST HAVE BEEN IN SHOCK HEARING THAT SOUND. I CALLED MY 86 YEARS OLD FRIEND UPSTAIRS,

“ARE YOU OK RAYA?”

YES, ALL IS WELL.

“ARE YOU ALONE?”

NO, GOD IS HERE, WHATEVER WILL BE WILL BE.

Key sera sera.... GOES THE SONG, AND MY DEAR FRIEND HAS NO PROBLEM LIVING IT DAILY. WHAT A GREAT EXAMPLE SHE IS TO ME.

IT TOOK ALMOST 20 MINUTES TO CALM DOWN. THANK YOU GOD, FOR DIRECTING OUR CITY LEADERS TO KEEP THOSE SIRENS QUIET. I DOUBT ANYONE EVER GETS USED TO THAT HORRIBLE NOISE. I UNDERSTAND TOTALLY WHY THE CITY LEADERS ARE KEEPING THE SIRENS AS QUIET AS POSSIBLE. ONE CAN GET A HEART ATTACK, OR AT LEAST ELEVATED BP FROM THE NOISE ALONE.

ROCKETS SHOT TOWARD THE NORTH OF NAHARIYAS. NONE FELL WITHIN THE CITY LIMITS. THE SOUNDS WE HEAR NOW ARE THE IDF ANSWERING. EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE MORE ROCKET FIRES COMING OUR WAY.

ACROSS THE STREET A MAN WHO WALKED TOWARD THE AMBULANCE FELL DOWN THE STAIRS. IT SEEMED HE WAS WALKING SLOWLY DOWN THE STAIRS, THE SIRENS SOUNDED AND HE JUST GOT SCARED AND STARTED A HEART ATTACK. NOW THAT'S ALL HEAR SAY. WE HEARD THE PARAMEDICS SHOUTING ORDERS AND EXPLANATIONS AFTER THE SIREN QUIETED DOWN.

IT IS ALMOST AN HOUR LATER. WE WILL BE GOING TO SLEEP EARLY, JUST IN CASE WE WILL NEED TO GET UP LATER.

I COMPLAINED EARLIER TO WILLIE THAT SINCE I HAD TO QUIT MY VOLUNTEER SPOTS BECAUSE OF MY EYES, I HAD BEEN BORED.

SORRY GOD, PLEASE FORGIVE ME FOR COMPLAINING, I RATHER BE BORED.
