AMIR TSARFATI: served in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and achieved the rank of major. At one point during his service, he held the position of deputy governor of Jericho. After his time in the military, he became a tour guide in Israel. Later, he served as CEO of Sar El Tours. In 2001, Tsarfati founded a non-profit organization called BEHOLD ISRAEL, which originally focused on reporting current events and developments in Israel and the region. It has since expanded to an international ministry with extensive in-person teachings and conferences, online resources, and published books and materials focused on Bible prophecy as it relates to current world events. https://www.beholdisrael.org/
A terrorist army invaded from Gaza and HORRIFICALLY SLAUGHTERED MORE THAN 1200 OF OUR INNOCENT BABIES, CHILDREN, ELDERLY, WOMEN, AND MEN. They SHOT THEM, BURNED THEM, STABBED THEM, AND DECAPITATED THEM. At that point, it was no longer about retaliation against terrorists. We were at war.
THE CURRENT SITUATION.
Israel is fighting a three-front war.
- THE FIRST FRONT: is in the northeast, mortar shells have been fired across the border FROM SYRIA.
- THE SECOND FRONT: is Lebanon in the north. Hezbollah is sending commando raids into Israel, while firing rockets over the border. Leaders from Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), as well as from Iranian proxy militias like Kata’ib Sayyid al-Shuhada, ARE IN LEBANON orchestrating the terrorist actions. Hezbollah leadership is being very vocal against both Israel and the United States. I expect this front to explode soon due to the pressure being put on it by the IRGC.
- THE THIRD FRONT: is the primary front, IN GAZA to the south. This is where the attack against Israel originated, and this is where Hamas has its stronghold. Gaza looks like a war zone because that is exactly what it is. The IDF is on a mission to destroy Israel’s southern enemies – the terrorist organizations Hamas and Islamic Jihad.
WHAT SHOULD WE DO?
- STAY PRAYERFUL: “Don’t worry about anything; instead, PRAY ABOUT EVERYTHING. Tell God what you need and thank Him for all He has done.” (Philippians 4:6) “As for me, I call to God, and the LORD SAVES ME. Evening, morning, and noon I cry out in distress, and He hears my voice.” (Psalms 55:16-17) “The Lord said, “Go out, and stand on the mountain…the LORD passed by, and a great and strong wind but the LORD WAS NOT IN THE WIND; and after an earthquake, but the LORD WAS NOT IN THE EARTHQUAKE; and after a fire, but the LORD WAS NOT IN THE FIRE; and after a still small voice…when Elijah heard it, he went out and stood, suddenly a still small voice came to him, and said, “What are you doing here, Elijah?” (1 Kings 19:11-13) Oh how we must pray to hear that still small voice…

- STAY ENCOURAGED: “I will lift up my eyes to the hills—From whence comes my help? MY HELP COMES FROM THE LORD, who made heaven and earth. He will not allow your foot to be moved; HE WHO KEEPS YOU WILL NOT SLUMBER. Behold, He who keeps Israel Shall neither slumber nor sleep. THE LORD IS YOUR KEEPER; The LORD is your shade at your right hand. The sun shall not strike you by day, Nor the moon by night. The LORD SHALL PRESERVE YOU FROM ALL EVIL; He shall preserve your soul.” (Psalms 121:1-7)
