Modern Miracles For The Nation Of Israel

3. 1 Sam. 14:15 says, “Then panic struck the whole army—those in the camp and field, and those in the outposts and raiding parties—and the ground shook. It was a panic sent by God.”

E. FOURTH MIRACLE: ABANDONED TANKS & ARMOR

Israeli ground troops advancing into the Sinai found numerous Egyptian positions simply abandoned, with tanks and heavy armor left in perfect condition. They acquired so much abandoned Egyptian armor that after the war they had enough to outfit five new brigades.

F. GOLAN HEIGHTS VICTORY

1. To take the Golan Heights, Israel had to win an uphill battle against a heavily entrenched and well-fortified Syrian army, consisting of 75,000 troops.

2. Yet after just 7 hours of heavy fighting, Israel had miraculously gained control of the main sectors. The next morning, the Syrians abandoned the Golan Heights, fleeing frantically and leaving their weapons behind! [Messiah Mag., 5-14-17, D. Thomas Lancaster]

G. RETOOK JERUSALEM…Luke 21:24

III. YOM KIPPUR WAR, 1973

A. HOW THE WAR BEGAN

1. This war began when the Arab coalition launched a joint surprise attack on Israeli positions in the Israeli-occupied territories on Yom Kippur, the holiest day in Judaism, which also occurred that year during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.

2. SOUTH. Egyptian forces crossed the cease-fire lines, then advanced virtually unopposed into the Sinai Peninsula. After three days, Israel had mobilized most of its forces and halted the Egyptian offensive, resulting in a military stalemate.

3. NORTH. The Syrians coordinated their attack on the Golan Heights to coincide with the Egyptian offensive and initially made threatening gains into Israeli-held territory. Within three days, however, Israeli forces had pushed the Syrians back to the pre-war ceasefire lines. [Wikipedia]

4. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) then launched a four-day counter-offensive deep into Syria. Within a week, Israeli artillery began to shell the outskirts of Damascus.

5. Egyptian President Sadat ordered the Egyptians to go back on the offensive, but their attack was quickly repulsed. The Israelis counter-attacked, crossed the Suez Canal into Egypt. By October 24, the Israelis had improved their positions considerably and completed their encirclement of Egypt's Third Army and the city of Suez.

6. The 1978 Camp David Accords led to the return of the Sinai to Egypt and resumption of prewar Golan Heights position.

B. MIRACLES DURING THIS WAR

1. An unstoppable armada of Syrian tanks bound for Tel Aviv suddenly stopped just north of Tiberius and simply waited for the Israeli army to arrive so they could surrender without a fight!

2. An Israeli tank commander found himself and his men in the middle of a mine field. One of his men prayed to God for help and suddenly an unprecedented wind blew away nearly a foot of topsoil exposing thousands of mines so the soldiers could escape unharmed!

IV. SIGNS AS RECENT AS 2014

A. “HAND OF GOD SENT MISSILE INTO SEA,” WND 2014

1. “A missile was fired from Gaza. 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.
