David's Comment: Israel Needs Some Passover Miracles
The 7 day celebration of Passover begins on the evening of Monday the Hebrew date of Nisan 14 or April 22. Passover is the first of the 7 GOD ordained Moedim or Appointed Times in the annual cycle that are laid out in Leviticus chapter 23. The events of the Passover story led to the Israelites escaping from 430 years of slavery in Egypt and their 40 year journey in the desert before they finally entered the Promised Land and the nation of Israel was born. Back then and throughout history, the enemies of GOD and His nation have always wanted to destroy us and GOD has miraculously saved and preserved His people. At this time the war with Hamas and other Gaza based terror organisations continues, and the situation on the northern border with Lebanon and Syria intensifies, what happens over the next few weeks and during the 7 days of Passover may prove to be very strategic as we are also approaching Biblical New Year which begins on the Hebrew date of Nisan 1 or sunset Monday April 8th. Once again Israel is a need of Divine intervention.
After more than 6 months of military operations in Gaza, Israel has not yet achieved the 2 main priorities of the war, to defeat and remove Hamas from controlling the Gaza Strip, and the return of about 134 hostages. Both of these objectives do not look possible before Passover, unless GOD does some major miracles in the days ahead. Our soldiers are still fighting terrorists in most parts of Gaza, and the ground operation in the last Hamas stronghold in Rafah is yet to begin. Without that operation, which the nations are trying hard to prevent, Hamas cannot be defeated and the threat of terror will remain in place, unless GOD does a miracle like He did when the Red Sea opened for the Israelites to escape, and then closed again to drown the Egyptians.
As for the hostages, no one knows how many of them are still alive, but for sure the ones who are alive have suffered terrible mental and physical damage, and it is imperative that they are rescued or released as soon as possible. Ongoing military and diplomatic efforts do not look promising to see either of those options any time soon. What a wonderful Passover gift it would be if GOD answered our prayers and do something miraculous and spectacular to save them and bring them home. They truly need a Passover miracle.
The other Passover miracle that Israelis need at this time is healing for all those who are suffering from physical and psychological stress and trauma as a result of the massacre of October 7, including the families of the soldiers who have died, the soldiers who have been injured and their families, the hostages who were release, the families of all the hostages and everyone else who have been affected over the last 6 months, especially the children. Up to half the population could be affected in some way.
I have thought about updating the list of suggested prayer points at the end of the news each week, but there is no need as all of the prayer points are still relative. Please continue to pray through the list and as the Holy Spirit leads you. And let us all stand in faith for the above Passover miracles that Israel needs at this time.
The LORD bless you as you bless Israel by standing in defense of her right to occupy and defend all of the land covenanted to the Jewish people by the GOD of Israel. Please pray that all of the Jewish people will turn back to their GOD and Messiah. Do not be silent, but share this with your fellow Christians, share it with your pastors, and with anyone you have a chance to speak to. Let's also pray for a revelation of the true Messiah for the Muslims, and please remember to pray Angelic protection over all of the Israeli soldiers and pilots.
Shabbat Shalom ........ David & Josie

Pray for Divine protection over all of the IDF officers and soldiers inside Gaza, at the northern border and those operating in the West Bank. Also pray protection for the pilots.
Pray for miraculous healing for all of the wounded soldiers and that there will be no more accidents or friendly fire incidents or accidental killing of hostages.
Pray that all of the top level leaders of Hamas and the other Gaza terror organisations who are still alive, will be captured by Israel very soon.
Pray that all of the tunnels and stockpiles of weapons in Gaza, on the northern border and in the West Bank will be exposed and destroyed.
Pray for angelic protection over all the borders with Gaza - Lebanon - Syria - the West Bank and Jordan, that every attempt to infiltrate and attack Israelis will be foiled.
Pray for the physical and emotional health, and the miraculous release of the hostages who are alive, and supernatural healing for the hostages who have been released.
Pray for the Shalom of GOD over all those who have lost loved ones, or whose loved ones are still in Gaza - fate unknown, and for every Israeli who has been affected by this war.
Pray for the many Messianic soldiers who are in the army, that they are fully protected and that they would be salt and light to their comrades.
Pray for supernatural protection over all Israeli civilians, and the same for the truly innocent people in Gaza, the West Bank towns and villages and in Lebanon and Syria.
Pray for a safe, quiet and peaceful weekend for all of Israel over the Sabbath.

Israel at War Day 181 11.00 pm April 4th Israel time
Israel is on extra high alert this weekend because it is the last Friday of Ramadan, and the threat of Iran possibly launching a retaliatory attack for the incident in Damascus.
The War in Gaza
- The number of soldiers who have been killed in the Gaza operation is 255 and the total number of soldiers killed since October 7th is now more than 600.
- The operation at Al Shifa hospital in Gaza City ended on Monday. More than 500 of the 950 who surrendered or have been captured at the hospital have been proven to be Hamas and Islamic Jihad terrorists. The number of terrorists killed is now more than 200, including at least 5 high level leaders. Another large cache of arms was found in the maternity ward.
- Interrogation of the captured terrorists is providing Israel with a large amount of valuable information about Hamas, and evidence of the war crimes committed on October 7. Some prisoners have told interrogators that Hamas is disintegrating from within because of the success of the Israeli war operation.
- Last Friday 1 soldier was killed and 16 injured, 6 of them seriously, in heavy fighting with terrorists as they moved closer to Nasser hospital in Khan Yunis. It is suspected that the hospital is being use as a base by Hamas and other terror groups. A number of terrorists have already been caught as they were trying to escape from inside the hospital.
- Soldiers attacked the Islamic Jihad operational headquarters located in the courtyard of Al Aqsa Hospital in Central Gaza. The precise attack did not damage the hospital which is still operational
- Defensive measures have been increased around the nuclear power plant in Dimona to protect it from missile or drone attacks.
- Israel has accepted responsibility and apologised for the death of 7 World Kitchen workers when their vehicles were mistakenly attacked earlier in the week.
The Northern Border
- Rocket and drone attacks have continued throughout the week. The leader of Hezbollah has been threatening to fill the skies of Israel with missiles before the end of Ramadan. Israeli Defense Minister Gallant responded by saying that Israel is preparing to move from a defensive operation against Hezbollah to an offensive one.
- The chances of a major escalation in the north increased dramatically on Monday afternoon after missiles destroyed an Iranian building in Damascus. The building which was situated beside the Iranian embassy, had been hosting a meeting of key regional terror figures at the time. At least 8 died, including 3 Iranian generals, and many others were injured when the building collapsed. Iran is threatening harsh retaliation for the attack which they are blaming Israel for.
Judea and Samaria (the West Bank)
Ramadan ends on Monday and so far the Temple Mount and Jerusalem have been much quieter than expected this year. However there is still a possibility of terror attacks and serious violence breaking out until the festival is over.
- 4 Israeli police officers were injured in a car ramming attack in the central Israeli Arab town of Tira. The 26 year old terrorist was shot and killed by a security guard at the scene.
- 20 suspected terrorists were arrested and 13 ready to use bombs were found in an overnight operation in Samaria.
- Security agents have arrested the members of a large terror cell planning to carry out large scale terror attacks at a number of locations including Ben Gurion Airport and a government building. They were also planning to assassinate the right wing, orthodox Minister of Security, Ben Gvir.
- An ISIS backed terror cell planning to attack a police station in Jerusalem, and other targets, was also arrested by security agents.
- Israeli army, police, and security guards will remain on high alert in all locations, especially Jerusalem and Judea-Samaria until Passover ends on April 29th.
The Hostages
- The Israeli negotiating team returned home after submitting a new proposal in Cairo on Monday, which Arab media has leaked Hamas has rejected. While Israel is being more flexible, Hamas is hardening their conditions, which means very little hope for an agreement any time soon, unless a miracle happens.
- Since last Saturday, demonstrations for the return of the hostages, at any cost, have heated up significantly, spreading to more locations and a growing number of protesters have been arrested. On Tuesday night protesters broke through security barriers in front of the residence of the Prime Minister in Jerusalem.
- On Wednesday security guards clashed with protesters after they managed to get into the visitor gallery of the Knesset and cause a disruption.
Other News
- A terror group based in Iraq launched 3 long range drones towards Eilat on Monday. One of the drones hit a building in the local naval base causing light damage. No casualties were reported. Several other drones have been shot down over the south of Israel during the week.
- In spite of current tensions with Israel over the Rafah operation, the United States has agreed to sell Israel 2000 bombs of various types and 25 more F35 fighter jets.
- Two War Cabinet ministers flew to Washington on Sunday to discuss options for Rafah. No plan was presented and they will return to meet again next week.
- The High Court decision on compulsory military service for ultra-orthodox males has been postponed until May at the request of the Prime Minister. This issue could cause the collapse of the current coalition government.
- Disunity has returned to Israel as anti-government demonstrations are on the increase and becoming more violent, sometimes combining with the hostage protests.
Pray for a GOD ordained miracle victory over Hamas, as He did for Israel in the Six Day War of 1967, and in the days of ancient Israel.
Pray for wisdom from above for the War Cabinet and military leaders as they plan and direct the war to defeat Hamas, and to somehow bring all of the hostages back home.
Pray that PM Netanyahu and the other leaders will not make decisions based on manipulation or threats by international leaders, or pressure from inside Israel.
Pray for Divine protection over all of the IDF officers and soldiers inside Gaza, at the northern border and those operating in the West Bank. Also pray protection for the pilots.
Pray for miraculous healing for all of the wounded soldiers and that there will be no more accidents or friendly fire incidents or accidental killing of hostages.
Pray that all of the top level leaders of Hamas and the other Gaza terror organisations who are still alive, will be captured by Israel very soon.
Pray that all of the tunnels and stockpiles of weapons in Gaza, on the northern border and in the West Bank will be exposed and destroyed.
Pray for angelic protection over all the borders with Gaza - Lebanon - Syria - the West Bank and Jordan, that every attempt to infiltrate and attack Israelis will be foiled.
Pray for the physical and emotional health, and the miraculous release of the hostages who are alive, and supernatural healing for the hostages who have been released.
Pray for the Shalom of GOD over all those who have lost loved ones, or whose loved ones are still in Gaza - fate unknown, and for every Israeli who has been affected by this war.
Pray for the many Messianic soldiers who are in the army, that they are fully protected and that they would be salt and light to their comrades.
Pray for supernatural protection over all Israeli civilians, and the same for the truly innocent people in Gaza, the West Bank towns and villages and in Lebanon and Syria.
Pray for a safe, quiet and peaceful weekend for all of Israel over the Sabbath.
