Whose Voice Are You Listening To? Joshua and the War Outside My Window
By Sara Lamm
|
|

For nearly two months, a very shaky ceasefire with Iran has held. Although Hezbollah has not stopped firing rockets from Lebanon, Iran itself has gone quiet - at least with regards to Israel. Until Sunday night, June 7th. when Iranian missiles lit up the Israeli sky. By Monday morning, the Israeli Air Force had struck back. If you believe the Hebrew Bible is not just ancient history but a living word, open the book of Joshua today. You will not find it dated. This month, Israel365 is going through all 24 books of the Hebrew Bible, one book a day, every day in June. For Joshua, Rabbi Mark Fishman sat down with Pastor Scott Thomas of Free Life Chapel in Florida, a man who has been coming to Israel since 1992 and loves this land and its people with everything he has. Their conversation is one of the most compelling in the entire series. I am writing this essay after our third siren of the morning, and it is not yet 10am Israel time. But what Rabbi Fishman and Pastor Thomas uncovered in the opening chapters of Joshua has the most remarkable resonance with what is unfolding outside my window right now.
Here is the question at the heart of their conversation, and at the heart of the book of Joshua: What changes when Israel crosses the Jordan River and enters the land?
Everything.

Ballistic Missiles, Broken Ceasefires, and Iran’s Open Hand in the War Against Israel
Sunday night, Iran launched ten ballistic missiles at Israel. This was not a strike against Israeli aggression toward Iran. Iran has long insisted that Hezbollah is an independent actor. Sunday night exposed that claim for what it is. For the first time in this war, Tehran made no attempt to disguise that they were going to war for Hezbollah.

Tucker Carlson’s Worst Nightmare is Coming to Israel. His Name is Ami Kozak.
Tucker Carlson has done more for Ami Kozak’s career than any Jewish organization ever could. Every time Carlson twists himself into another contortion to avoid taking Israel’s side, every time he presents Hamas sympathizers as brave truth-tellers and Israel’s defenders as warmongers, Kozak has fresh material.
