What is Israel's greatest achievement in the nearly two-year campaign, especially against Iran? By Hannanel Aviv

What is Israel's greatest achievement in the nearly two-year campaign, especially against Iran? By Hannanel Aviv

Many in Israel consider the military achievements – primarily the attacks on Iran’s nuclear program and ballistic missile program, and perhaps the subsequent diplomatic successes – as the greatest accomplishments Israel has achieved so far in the campaign. However, there is one achievement that has remained underlined, not in the form of a decisive victory, but rather in the form of weakening and dismantling the unity within the Muslim nation. Allow me to explain.

Hamas, which formed part of the Shiite axis established by the Iranian regime, launched an uncoordinated attack on Israel, hoping that after their significant success, other Iranian proxy would join them and hit Israel hard within hours. This would include an invasion by Hezbollah terrorists, Shiite militia and pro-Iranian troops in Iraq and Syria, the Houthis in Yemen, backed by missiles and suicide drones, from all powers - led by Hezbollam - and, of course, Iran itself, launching hundreds of ballistic missiles and suicide Drones to paralyze Israel. This would allow the other forces to conquer large parts of Israeli territory, expecting a unification of forces in the Islamic and Arab world to ultimately destroy Israel. That didn't happen.

Hezbollah stepped into a support role only a day later and launched rockets and suicide drones daily as support, not as a large-scale war. Same gold for the Houthis and militias, who offered support instead of waging war. Iran did not intervene or provide military assistance from its territory until the war hit its personnel directly. Thus, the unity of the battle was lost from the very first phase, allowing Israel time to attack terrorist organizations in the Gaza Strip, later attack Hezbollah and the Houthis, and finally Iran itself. 

Consequently, the alliance Iran had created by a strangling on Israel, along with a coalition of interests with sunni groups such as Hamas, was shattered. This axe collapsed and failed to execute her plan to destroy Israel. Until October 6, there was a united ash – albeit an almost impossible alliance of Sunniites and Shiites – but the purpose was clear and it worked toward that moment of truth.

Consequently, Israel issued a crushing blow to Hezbollah and Iran did not interfere or provide military support from its territory, with the exception of one retaliatory strike following the elimination of Hassan Nasrallah, which also killed an Iranian general. Iran then lost its land bridge for transferring weapons from Iran directly to Hezbollah in Lebanon via the Assad regime, which collapsed after Iran and its powers failed to provide military support on the ground. 

This is how another important link in the Shiite axis broke out and Iran lost more of its power, creating air capability to approach Iran and prepare for widespread attacks without air defense obstacles or the involvement of its proxy against Israel.

The axe failed to achieve its goal to destroy Israel. All of his handlers were weakened and are now working on their own survival. After the campaign against Iran, Iran is now facing its own problems. As a result of this, there is no longer an Islamic unity under the Shiite axis. Essentially, the greatest existential threat to Israel is not the nuclear threat, but rather a united Muslim front with the sole aim of destroying the state of Israel.

The idea of an Islamic caliphate is also a unifying concept, which acts as a magnet for the Muslim nation worldwide to unite under this caliphate and its purpose. This idea has several advocates in the Muslim nation, and as a result of the campaign, another advocate emerged in the form of al-Julani, the President of Syria. In the Arab world there has been no unity under pan-Arabism for many years. Now, after the significant achievements in the campaign against the Shiite axis, there is no pan-Islamism either. The Islamic and Arab world are not united; Everyone is busy in his own bubble.

In my opinion, this is the greatest achievement Israel has achieved in this nearly two-year campaign.

Indeed, the other achievements are important and crucial, but this is a long-term achievement that dismantles the unity Iran has built over many years and instills fear in every Arab state that seeks to destroy Israel. Any state that wants to wage war without Islamic and Arab unity significantly increases its chances of failure and only faces Israel without such unity. Every state is now asking itself, "Who will be on my side?" "after it has been proven that Iran was not behind Assad, Hezbollah, Hamas or the Shiite militias in Iraq.

The Great Falling Away 

Steve Martin, Love For His People

 

 

“Adonai said to Gid‘on, “I will use the three hundred men who lapped the water to save you; I will hand Midyan over to you. Let all these others go back home.”  

(Judges 7:7-8 Complete Jewish Bible) 

 

 

There is a great falling away coming from among those who once walked with the Lord. In fact, it has already started. For decades, it was “popular” to be a Christian. Not so anymore, especially when one considers the numbers who attend a weekly church service. Looking around any given Sunday morning gathering, and in most churches you will see mostly grey hairs; and they are dying off. Sure, there are those churches that are doing well among the youth, but that is an exception. We give thanks for them. 

 

After a major crisis occurs in a nation, the pews do fill back up. But within a few months, or even weeks, the “Crisis Christians” no longer come around. It is back to normal as usual. (We may still have the “C & E” group – Christmas and Easter, but even those numbers are dwindling fast.) 

 

The apostle Paul said that in the end of days there would be a great falling away. We are living in those times. 

 

“Now we request you, brethren, with regard to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, that you not be quickly shaken from your composure or be disturbed either by a spirit or a message or a letter as if from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has come.  

 

Let no one in any way deceive you, for it will not come unless the apostasy comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, who opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, displaying himself as being God.  

 

Do you not remember that while I was still with you, I was telling you these things? And you know what restrains him now, so that in his time he will be revealed. For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only he who now restrains will do so until he is taken out of the way.  

 

Then that lawless one will be revealed whom the Lord will slay with the breath of His mouth and bring to an end by the appearance of His coming; that is, the one whose coming is in accord with the activity of Satan, with all power and signs and false wonders, and with all the deception of wickedness for those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth so as to be saved. For this reason God will send upon them a deluding influence so that they will believe what is false, in order that they all may be judged who did not believe the truth, but took pleasure in wickedness.” (2 Thessalonians 2:1-12 NASU) 

 

Lest you become fearful, and wonder what is going to happen when so many are gone, let me share a little insight with you. It will inspire you in faith, I believe. 

 

The Lord seems to allow for the reduction of numbers when He has a job that needs to get done. Unlike humans, more is not always better. As my good wife Laurie likes to remind me on certain occasions, “Less is more.” My accounting mind doesn’t always see it that way, but it is true. 

 

Let’s look at a few instances in the Word of God, and see how the Lord chooses to accomplish His purpose, and achieve the final victory. 

 

Take what happened when the Lord decided to flood the earth. He saved a remnant, Noah’s family of eight (Noah, his wife, three sons and their wives) and repopulated the earth with those alone. Looks like that worked. 

 

And what about Gideon’s army, when it came time to defeat the Mideonites? Gideon took as many warriors as he had available, starting with 32,000. By the time the Lord had set up a few tests, the number was finalized at 300. With those remaining, the job got done. Victory was won. 

 

Yeshua (Jesus) chose only 12 who would walk with Him for a little more than three years. Then He released them (even knowing one would be replaced by another) into the world. Empowered by the Holy Spirit, those twelve apostles changed the world. 

 

Jesus also fed the multitudes, with very little. “All we have with us,” they said, “is five loaves of bread and two fish.” He said, “Bring them here to me.” After instructing the crowds to sit down on the grass, he took the five loaves and the two fish and, looking up toward heaven, made a b’rakhah (Hebrew – i.e. gave thanks). Then he broke the loaves and gave them to the talmidim (Hebrew – i.e. disciples), who gave them to the crowds. They all ate as much as they wanted, and they took up twelve baskets full of the pieces left over. Those eating numbered about five thousand men, plus women and children.” (Matthew 14:17-21, Complete Jewish Bible) 

 

The Creator of the Universe can get the job done with very few. 

 

What about the 144,000 in Revelation of Jesus (Revelation 7:4)? That sure is something to consider. 

 

“I heard the count of those who were sealed: 144,000! They were sealed out of every Tribe of Israel: 12,000 sealed from Judah, 12,000 from Reuben, 12,000 from Gad, 12,000 from Asher, 12,000 from Naphtali, 12,000 from Manasseh, 12,000 from Simeon, 12,000 from Levi, 12,000 from Issachar, 12,000 from Zebulun, 12,000 from Joseph, 12,000 sealed from Benjamin. 

(Revelations 7:4-8 THE MESSAGE) 

 

There is a great falling away that is coming through the Christian ranks. It will remove the lukewarm as the Lord Himself is going to weed them out. I believe He will then emblaze the remnant with His Holy Ghost fire, and show the world Who is the King of kings and Lord of lords. In the process, millions during that time, yet to be saved for all of eternity, will come into His kingdom, gathered from all the nations. 

 

Are you going to be one of the few? As the Marines would say in their motto, "Semper Fidelis", which translates to "Always Faithful" in Latin. I pray you are.  

 

By His grace you will keep committed and stay faithful to the end. It is going to be a battle, but He wins. Stay on His side.
