Hello John and Doves,
Here's an interview on CBN
News:
An IDF Sergeant Major, Chaim
Malespin, deployed 734 days, said a lot of IDF troops are
leaving Gaza.
Below are my notes on what
SM Malespin said:
He talked about Shemini
Atzeret - the 8th Day - the day that follows the seven day
festival of Feast of Tabernacles - this is the anniversary
of the Hamas massacre in Israel. This is coming up
Tuesday. Trump said Monday the hostages will be
released. Very close to Shemini Atzeret - and it's
possible it will happen on Shemini Atzeret.
Everyone is anticipating
this. It's been two years of mourning and sadness.
This will be a great celebration when the hostages are
returned. It's sad and it's happy - both the bodies of
those murdered and the living hostages will be returned to
their homes and their families.
A lot of troops are moving
from the front. And there is a lot of
skepticism. Much anticipation. But they have to
be watchful. There are many people who lie to
them. And they, the Jews, believe Hamas is
lying.
SM Malespin said to look at
the history. They, Hamas, are hell bent on killing
Jews. They have interviewed multiple Hamas.
Hamas was asked if Gaza in rubble was worth it. Even
now they are shooting rockets at the retreating IDF
soldiers. One of the Hamas members said "As long as
there is blood in my body, I will be killing Jews".
Hamas thinks that the West is dumb enough to believe they've
changed this time. This is a ploy. Look back at
their history. Before check points were put in Samaria
and Judah, Palestinians were putting on suicide vests and
blowing up shops, buses, etc.
SM Malespin believes they
will not disarm, that they will use every trick in the book
to stay in power or come back through tunnels and then do a
massive comeback. They have something up their sleeve -
absolutely.
He said the IDF studied what
American soldiers did in the Viet Nam war - the 'tunnel
rats' - to help them find and destroy Hamas tunnels.
This is very dangerous. There are tunnels in southern
Lebanon - dug by Hezbollah. Israel has truly done the
impossible with so many enemies all around.
Many think it's too fishy
for the PLO to be allowed to come in and 'help to build a
new government' - others say they need to be optimistic and
think something good will come of this and Hamas will
disarm.
In the book of Joshua, Gaza
is promised to Israel. In Nehemiah 8:15 - "So
the people went out and brought back branches and built
themselves temporary shelters (Feast of Tabernacles) on
their own roofs, in their courtyards, in the courts of the
house of God...The whole company that had returned from
exile built temporary shelters and lived in them. From
the days of Joshua son of Nun until that day, the Israelites
had not celebrated it like this. And their joy was
very great."
If the anniversary day, is
the day the hostages are returned this would be
amazing. And it would fit with Nehemiah's verse above.
Some Jews wonder if they are
going back to square one with this deal. And they
worry about what a Palestinian state would be like.
He said to keep the soldiers
in prayer for a full and complete victory. Victory is
happening with Israel.
As SM Malespin said, Shemini
Atzeret is the anniversary day of the Hamas massacre in
Israel. That day is Tuesday, October 14 (starting
sunset 13 to sunset 14). He thought that would be an
amazing day to come full circle with the return of the
hostages.
"US President Donald Trump
said he believes all the hostages held in Gaza, including
the bodies of those deceased, will be "coming back" Monday
after Israel and Hamas agreed to a ceasefire."
It seems Hamas is always
'late' on the peace deals - it they abide by them at all, so
Tuesday could be the day. I am sure that Shemini
Atzeret is not lost on Hamas - they know exactly what day
that is. They chose that day for their attack.
And they know that day is Tuesday, 22 Tishrei (October
14). And they know it will be a great day of
celebration for the Jewish people when the hostages are
returned. And that will be a very dark day for them -
it will smell of defeat.
Will they abide by the deal
or not? Given the history in the region - not
likely.
And it's Iran 'warning of a
possible breach of Israeli commitments'. Oh, that's
rich!
"Tehran supports any initiative that stops the genocide,
ensures the complete withdrawal of the occupying forces and
enable humanitarian aid. However, all parties
involved should remain vigilant against the Zionist
regime's deception and unreliability," the Iranian
Foreign Ministry said.
Sounds like Iran might 'have
something up their sleeve'. Hamas has an endless
supply of 'replacements', they will never be
destroyed. And they will never stop in killing Jews.
Pray mightily for the peace
of Jerusalem!
Maranatha!
