SWORDS
OF IRON WAR. SIX MONTHS + 22 DAYS (208). .jpg)
Figs Budding
Yesterday, I pushed the restart button, on myself. I wish I could do the same with life around me, with the war, with the hostages. But, I can do it only with myself and my own life – from this day forward. I have to leave the past where it belongs, in the past, and go on from this moment into whatever future God holds for me.
"In Israel, a person who does not believe in miracles is an unrealistic person"
(David Ben-Gurion.)
We need a few miracles right now.
Nahariya, the city we live in, is located by the Mediterranean Sea, 7 km from the border with Lebanon, at Rosh-HaNikra. The region, Western Galil, is a modern term referring to the western part of Upper Galilee and its Mediterranean shores, and in it live approximately 2,980.000 people. Nahariya currently has over 75,000 residents. It also hosts at this time many of the evacuees of the region.
The population across the region is about even numbers of Jews, Arabs, Druze and “others”.
Like all wars, this one changed the face of the population. Not all of the residents in the north villages agreed to evacuate. Many did. With the evacuees becoming refugees in their own country, comes an increase of beggars on the main street. Rooms, motels, hotels, and rental apartments are full, while the rental prices are climbing higher daily.
Dairy products, essential foods, and gasoline are going up in price as I write. New buildings mushroomed everywhere in the country, but, buying an apartment is a luxury beyond most people's reach.
I thank God that He helped us to get a roof over our heads a few years back. Yes, we walk up 60 stairs daily, but it is our “sports minute”. I thank God that He also introduced us to some healthy capsules so we can consume veggies, fruit and protein daily regardless of the rising costs.
Changes are taking place in the political picture. One can read about more disagreements and hurling guilt between the Knesset members as well as inside the war cabinet. Political attacks from foreign governments are escalating, while more demonstrations with opposite agendas are seen on the streets.
(Zechariah
14:13-14) Everyone will seize the hand of his neighbour,
And raise
his hand against his neighbour’s hand; Judah also will fight at
Jerusalem.
This is one prophecy that I hate seeing coming to pass.
The “talks” regarding the hostages continue in a few locations such as Qatar, Saudi Arabia, USA, and Israel, with a few foreign governments. These esteemed mediators have their hands in the political cauldron, not necessarily showing compassion nor care for the people who are abducted and held in captivity.
US's Mr. Anthony Blinken met Israeli President, Mr. Issac Herzog, and explained that the reason the hostages were not returned home was because of Hamas. The whole war is because of Hamas' terror attacks on October 7, 2023. No one talks about that now, almost 7 months into the war. But our people who were brutally abducted, and are still alive, are in the hands of the terrorists in underground dungeons, without proper air, water, food, or medical help.
(Zechariah
13:9) I will bring the one-third through the fire,
Will refine
them as silver is refined,
And test them as gold is tested...
Last night, at 22:00, was the last alert in the North, a rocket fire at Rosh HaNikra & Shlomi. About 7 KM North of Nahariya, mostly Jewish population that is already evacuated and living as refugees in our own country for the past 6+ months.
This morning, at 07:59, the alerts started again. Rockets fire on Northern settlements about 23 KM northeast of Nahariya. Six villages with Jews, Arab Christians, Arab Muslims, and Druze mix. I did not see reports of damage or wounds from these rockets.
It is 10:45 and all is quiet.
The rockets are coming from Iran. Why are they firing on Arabs and Druze in Israel if they targeting Jews? Or is anyone in the Land of Israel a target? Civilians!!! Absolutely innocents! All the while, countries are trying to take our government and army leaders to the international court in Hauge for “war crime” of firing on civilians in Gaza - where the Hamas terrorized Jews and Arabs alike.
Logical? No! But no one seems to use logic in this war.
We need Heavenly intervention.
(Zechariah
14:12) And this shall be the plague with which the Lord
will
strike all the
people who fought against Jerusalem:
Only a miracle will work.
