Bring a Joyous Purim to the IDF ✡ "My Lord Fights the Wars" - ISRAEL365

For my lord fights the wars of the Lord. And let no evil be found in you all your days. I Samuel 25:28 (The Israel Bible™)   כִּי מִלְחֲמוֹת יְ-הֹוָה אֲדֹנִי נִלְחָם וְרָעָה לֹא תִמָּצֵא בְךָ מִיָּמֶיךָ שמואל א כה:כח kee mil-kha-mot a-do-nai a-do-nee nil-kham v'-ra-a lo ti-ma-tzay v'-kha mi-ya-me-kha

Shabbat Inspiration Incredibly, we find one of the ethical foundations of the Israeli army right here in today's verse. The prophetess Abigail reminds King David that he may only fight God's wars - which at that time were against the Philistines - and not wars of vengeance against his enemies. To this day, the nation of Israel is required to defend itself and to strengthen the Promised Land. Other wars are not permitted. We are proud to support Israel's brave young soldiers who uphold this Biblical mandate. Bring joy to an IDF hero this Purim holiday! » Defending the Holy People of Hebron from Terror Join Rom, an officer in the Nahal Brigade, as he and members from his unit walk through Biblical Hebron so they can gain the knowledge necessary to protect the holy city.

HE is not a man that he would lie. HE is forever faithful in spite of my lack. What HE says comes to pass. The exsistance of Israel being one of the greatest and most obvious fulfillments of HIS WORD. May the LORD of all creation bless and keep you and make HIS face to shine upon you and give you peace for helping me to keep my eyes on my BELOVED when I am so easily distracted by the day to day as a commercial fisherman in Kodiak, Alaska.
