This story about what happened between a mother and her child during the attack of Hamas on October 7th shows the true nature of an Israeli mother’s heart.

I just returned home from Israel, where my friends are going through a really tough time. Hamas and their hounds of hell have wreaked horrendous havoc in the Holy Land. However, I brought back something that will help me remember the sweet peace I sensed while I was in Jerusalem.

On one of my Sabbath day prayer walks around the Old City walls, I brought my “one-man” camera along so you could walk with me. I kept the camera rolling for the entire journey!

If I forget you, O Jerusalem,
May my right hand forget her skill.
Psalms 137:5

By the way, while I was walking and praying, I couldn’t resist the opportunity to check out some closed doors and locked gates. 😉

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:
“May they prosper who love you.
“May peace be within your walls,
“And prosperity within your palaces.”
For the sake of my brothers and my friends,
I will now say, “May peace be within you.”
Psalms 122:6-8

What I saw today inside one of the communities that was attacked on October 7th, on the first day of Hanukkah, almost had me at a loss for words…I said almost. I visited the scene of a crime that requires the popular law-enforcement mantra since the 9/11 terrorist attack; “If you see something, say something”.

I created a video below that hopefully will cause you to speak-up!

For those who have no idea what Hanukkah is about, we created a mini-series title Reclaiming the Real Hanukkah that is now playing for all members of our Premium Content Library.

When I was invited to Israel, I knew that come rain or shine, rockets or not, I needed to visit Hostages Square in Tel-Aviv. I believe it will set the table for an entire week of participating in the eight day celebration of Hanukkah starting tonight at sundown!

I created a short video below to bring you with me to Hostages Square. As you watch, say a prayer that Yehovah will set the captives free!

Before anyone charges with me being a warmonger, I need to give a little background to the video I want to share. Since 2002, I have made it a point to reach out to those serving in the Israel Defense Force who lay their lives on the line to protect Israelis, Palestinians and anyone else who sets foot in the land of Israel.

They are also engaged in a war that requires for them to enter a booby-trapped battlefield in order to attempt to rescue over 200 people and uproot a barbaric terrorist network that is embedded amongst civilians. Oh, and many of these soldiers are younger than my own sons.

I created a short clip below for you to watch to give a positive shout out to my many friends in the IDF who are on the front lines right now doing their job. I especially want to do this while so many around the world are giving negative shout outs against them.

Psalms 122:6-8

At a time when the media is “breaking broken news” that is masterminded by a terrorist organization that is built on violence, we would like to add some perspective by a Palestinian who is not drinking the deadly “kool-aid” served by Hamas! Here is his 5 minute video.

“Two years later, everything I said in this interview is still true.
Hamas has not achieved anything on behalf of the Palestinian people — it simply holds Palestinians hostage while promoting terror.” -Bassem Eid

“May they prosper who love you.

And prosperity within your palaces.”
8 For the sake of my brothers and my friends,
I will now say, “May peace be within you.”
Psalms 122:6-8

As a result of all that is happening in Israel, I searched the BFA video archives to bring out a Special Report regarding the Iron Dome that I believe is an answered prayer of protection.

Nehemia Gordon and I had a rare opportunity to talk to the former Israel Defense Minister who established its use in the IDF. Oh, and we did the interview right in front of one of the Iron Dome launchers! I also requested that the company that developed the system allow BFA to share a video of how it works…in English!

We need to pray that this system will operate at the most efficient level while literally thousands of rockets are launched into Israel!

On October 7th Hamas terrorists breached Israeli checkpoint locations along the border with Gaza, and started a new war with Israel.

“May they prosper who love you.

And prosperity within your palaces.”

Did you know that today is Yom Kippur in Israel? Since last night at sundown, literally everything shut down. No trains, no buses, no cars and even the major outdoor market is closed. They go so far as take television off the air until tonight! It is as if they are taking the Bible seriously. Join us one of our Tours to Israel next year to experience the bible up-close and personal.
