"You must blow a teru’ah with the trumpets." Silver Trumpets for Israel's Victory!
Israel is at war against an evil axis that seeks to plunge the civilized world into darkness. Thank G-d Israel's army and Israel's people are up to the task. But the Torah itself provides the ultimate weapon required for victory: "When you go to war in your land against an adversary who attacks you, you must blow a teru’ah with the trumpets and be remembered favorably before HaShem, your G-d, and thus be saved from your enemies." (Numbers 10:9) Hear the fascinating story of the Temple Institute's mission to produce and distribute silver trumpets to IDF battalions and brigades, to be sounded and deliver salvation.
Rising Lion!
It's not by chance that Israel has named its military operation over the skies of Iran, as what is translated into English as "Rising Lion." The phrase is taken directly from the words of the heathen prophet Bilaam, hired by Balak, the king of Moav, to curse the children of Israel:
"Behold, a people that rises like a lioness and raises itself like a lion. It does not lie down until it eats its prey and drinks the blood of the slain." (Numbers 23:24)
Balak had no pretext for hating Israel. He simply did not want them as his neighbor. Bilaam, hired to curse Israel, blessed them instead, and his prophecy morphed from a positive assessment of Israel, "How goodly are your tents..." (ibid 24:5) into a far reaching prophecy of a distant future, an end of days scenario, one which perfectly aligns with today's unfolding events.
