The God of the Bible, who performed miracles for Israel in ancient times, is still performing miracles in Israel today. In the next five weeks I am reporting five <\/b><\/p>\n

This fourth miracle is the miracle of the \u201cCloud of Protection.\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n
Miracle Four \u2013 The Cloud of Protection<\/b><\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the Times of Israel<\/a> reported a senior officer in Israel\u2019s army said divine miracles protected his soldiers during fighting in the Gaza Strip.<\/p>\n Givati Brigade commander Col. Ofer Winter told the weekly publication Mishpacha that he \u201cwitnessed a miraculous occurrence, the likes of which he had never seen before during his military career.\u201d<\/p>\n Winter indicated a predawn raid intended to use darkness as cover was delayed, forcing the soldiers to move toward their objective as sunrise was approaching.<\/p>\n With the troops in danger of being exposed at daybreak, Winter explained how heavy fog quickly descended to shroud their movements until their mission was accomplished.<\/p>\n \u201cSuddenly a cloud protected us,\u201d he said, referring to clouds the Bible says guided the ancient Israelites as they wandered in the desert. \u201cClouds of glory.\u201d<\/p>\n Winter said only when the soldiers were in a secure position, the fog finally lifted.<\/p>\n \u201cIt really was a fulfillment of the verse \u2018For the Lord your God is the one who goes with you to give you victory,\u2019\u201d he said, quoting Deuteronomy 20:4<\/a>.<\/p>\n The Times of Israel notes Winter made headlines over an official letter he sent to battalion and company commanders July 9, telling his subordinates that \u201chistory has chosen us to spearhead the fighting (against) the terrorist \u2018Gazan\u2019 enemy which abuses, blasphemes and curses the God of Israel\u2019s (defense) forces.\u201d<\/p>\n The dispatch came under fire from some, since it portrayed the Operation Protective Edge as a religious war against non-Jews. The Israeli government\u2019s stated aim is to stop rocket attacks at Israel and destroy a network of tunnels dug under the border from Gaza used to launch terror attacks inside Israeli territory.<\/p>\n In his interview with Mishpacha, Winter defended his message, saying everyone finds God when in combat.<\/p>\n \u201cAnyone who attacked me for the letter apparently has only seen weapons in pictures, was never in combat, and doesn\u2019t know what fighting spirit is,\u201d he said, revealing that before going into action his custom was to recite the blessing with which the ancient Israelite priests would bless the army before it went to war. \u201cWhen a person is in a life-threatening situation he connects with his deepest internal truths, and when that happens, even the biggest atheist meets God,\u201d he said, claiming soldiers see so many miracles, \u201cit is hard not to believe [in God].\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Miracles in Israel with Hamaz\/Gaza War in 2014 The God of the Bible, who performed miracles for Israel in ancient times, is still performing miracles in Israel today.
