commander (4)

"I witnessed this miracle with my own eyes. It was not told or reported to me. I saw the hand of God send that missile into the sea." -Iron Dome Battery Commander

One would think that the 10 percent or so of Hamas rockets predicted by Iron Dome's radars to hit populated areas that are not intercepted would still cause significant Israeli casualties. But somehow, they don't.

An earlier, unconfirmed report floating around the Internet had a Gaza resident attributing the lack of Hamas accuracy to Israel's God moving the rockets off-course to protect His people.

"We do aim [our rockets], but their God changes their path in mid-air," a Hamas commander was said to have told someone who wondered why Gaza-based militants can't seem to hit their targets.

Whether or not that report is [true], an Iron Dome operator whose battery failed three times to down an incoming missile headed toward Tel Aviv last week, said the overall assessment is [accurate].

In remarks relayed to an Israel news site (Hebrew), the Iron Dome battery commander recalled:

"A missile was fired from Gaza. Iron Dome precisely calculated [its trajectory]. We know where these missiles are going to land down to a radius of 200 meters. This particular missile was going to hit either the Azrieli Towers, the Kirya (Israel's equivalent of the Pentagon) or [a central Tel Aviv railway station]. Hundreds could have died.

Iron Dome"We fired the first [interceptor]. It missed. Second [interceptor]. It missed. This is very rare. I was in shock. At this point we had just four seconds until the missile lands. We had already notified emergency services to converge on the target location and had warned of a mass-casualty incident. (Photo via Israel National News)

"Suddenly, Iron Dome (which calculates wind speeds, among other things) shows a major wind coming from the east, a strong wind that...sends the missile into the sea. We were all stunned. I stood up and shouted, 'There is a God!'

"I witnessed this miracle with my own eyes. It was not told or reported to me. I saw the hand of God send that missile into the sea."

Also last week, Col. Ofer Winter, commander of the Givati Infantry Brigade, described a mysterious fog that favorably covered [him] and his troops as they advanced on an enemy position in morning light, after their nighttime raid was postponed.

Col. Winter labeled the covering as "clouds of glory."

Earlier in the Gaza war, Col. Winter sparked heated national debate when he encouraged his troops to lead the charge against an enemy that "curses, defames and abuses the God of Israel." Col. Winter concluded his letter by praying that the "Lord your God go with you, to fight for you against your enemies and to save you."

What Would Jesus Really Do?????

 

                        I find it very interesting how people view Jesus today.  I am not a bible scholar and cannot quote more than just a few very common scripture verses, but is being able to quote chapter and verse from the Holy Bible really that important?  Knowing what the Bible says is important.  Living by Scripture, especially by the New Testament things taught by Jesus and his Apostles are important, but I find a lot of people who are so quote-crazy they don’t really seem to know much about what they are quoting.

For instance, Jesus is portrayed in most churches that I know of, and by every Christian I know as pious, benevolent, quiet, and soft spoken.  I don’t see him that way at all, at least not all the time.  As a matter of fact I think of Jesus as quite forceful, and a pain in the butt to the bureaucracy of his time; and to the “progressives” who now control our nation.  I see a side of Jesus that is often more like a drill sergeant in the Army.

                        Why is it that the Democrat Party, Republican Party, the media, homosexual groups like GLAAD, pro-abortion groups, and all other liberals who spout vile things about the TEA Party and Christians never have one word of criticism about Islam?????   A Christian can’t decline to bake a cake without national outrage but homosexuals being hanged for “aberrant sexual behavior” in Moslem nations bring no response.   If I called a homosexual any “defamatory name or term” such as “teabagger” I would immediately be inundated with the harshest of criticism but Moslems glue a man’s private parts closed and fill him with food and water until he is about to explode then hangs this same person and not a word is heard from the left wing homosexual crowd.

4063796130?profile=originalDuck Dynasty  Phil Robertson back in on - Photo Credit - M Christian Post

With hundreds of thousands of supportive petition signatures, emails, social media site complaints and millions of viewers supporting Phil Robertson, A&E seemingly caved in to the 1st Amendment and biblical values by ending the Duck Commander’s suspension, according to Fox News.

The A&E Network was raking in hundreds of millions of dollars and Wal-Mart which had been distributing Duck Dynasty products was making over $200 million from the show. So it seemed only a matter of time before the large green economic line gave into the hard biblical and constitutional line that had been drawn in the Louisiana red dirt by Phil Robertson.

The A&E Network released a statement affirming that it “would resume filming “Duck Dynasty” with Phil Robertson and the rest of his family next spring,according to Fox News.

Robertson had been suspended from his number one rated cable show which drew in 12 million plus viewers. The network suspended Robertson due to alleged “anti-gay and racists” comments that were taken from his GQ magazine interview. The Rainbow PUSH Coalition organization as well as the LGBT organization GLAAD were offended and demanded Phil Robertson be relieved of his Duck Whistle and more.
