SWORDS OF IRON & NORTHERN ARROWS. (358).

Visiting with Friends' kids

NAHARIYA, ISRAEL. SATURDAY. 28.9.2024

Nasrallah is dead. A major kudos to the IDF. Immediately I
heard a friend announce, "Don't believe everything they tell you in the news". I agreed. The next day, IDF confirmed, but,  I heard from another friend:

Proverbs 24:17-18

Do not rejoice when your enemy falls,

And do not let your heart be glad when he stumbles;

Lest the LORD see it, and it displeases Him,

And He turns away His wrath from him...

So here comes the Jewish guilt. But, I learned that my God had freed me from guilt and shame and I asked Him how should I react? And He reminded me of the Jews in the Book of Esther

(Esther 8:17) And in every province and city, wherever the king’s command and decree came, the Jews had joy and gladness, a feast and a holiday...

(Esther 9:11) Therefore the Jews of the villages who dwelt in the unwalled towns celebrated the fourteenth day of the month of Adar with gladness and feasting, as a holiday, and for sending presents to one another.

I am relieved that Nassrala is dead. A friend said, "But others will take his place". True, but it is a break in this war. Yeman sent rockets today to Tel Aviv and surrounding areas. Lebanon kept sending missiles to the North and while the army intercepted them the sirens sounded everywhere. We know it is not the end. But God, He knows how long it takes, and He gave one major enemy with his entire entourage into the hands of the Israeli army. That's a victory.

And while I do not participate in giving away candies in my city, I am thankful there is one less group of enemies to battle with.
