Numbers 24:8-9
King James Version
8 God brought him forth out of Egypt;
he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn:
he shall eat up the nations his enemies,
and shall break their bones,
and pierce them through with his arrows.
9 He couched,
he lay down as a lion, and as a great lion:
who shall stir him up?
Blessed is he that blesseth thee,
and cursed is he that curseth thee.
When will Israel's enemies realize it's futile trying to destroy her?
Perhaps, when GOD makes them born again.
They will have a respect for Israel, GOD's chosen nation.
His SPIRIT will help them understand Scripture, and prophecy.
Only then will they understand Israel cannot be destroyed.
Despite Israel's hard-heartedness, and idolatry, GOD continues to love her.
He's got plans for her.
His covenants are with her.
Isaiah 43:21
King James Version
21 This people have I formed for myself;
they shall shew forth my praise.
The recent events of 13 June 2025 showed Israel in charge of her fate.
Apart from GOD having anointed her, of course.
She knows she's got to be on the defense.
When most countries are on the offense.
But this time, she needed to get ahead of Iran.
For the latter wasn't about to let up on its uranium enrichment program.
So Israel launched her "Operation Rising Lion".
In the process, Iran's missile, early warning systems, nuclear facilities, top military officials, and scientists were hit, with precision.
By no measure was it an overnight plan.
Just like with the "beeper" operation against Hezbollah on 17 September 2024, this "lion" operation took years to plan.
Israel is a long-term strategist.
She is decisive.
Zineb Riboua, Research Fellow, Center for Peace and Security in the Middle East, says it best:
"Israel has proven willing and able to act when others are not."

That has been this born again watchman's observation, too.
No matter how others try to tie one of Israel's hands, she continues to fight bravely, and strategically.
She always finds a way around setbacks others throw her way.
This David will never surrender to Goliath bullies.
No matter how many try to trip prime minister Netanyahu, he continues on as well.
We've often said, Israel doesn't just fight on seven fronts.
She also fights an eight battle within the Knesset.
Other countries have not been in Israel's place.
They are not ambushed night and day, fighting for her survival.
They are not hated wherever they go.
Only by the GRACE of GOD does Israel continue to exist.
The Gentiles' future is tied with the Jews.
They will never be rid of the Jews.
They can never deny her people.
Nor her existence.
The LION of JUDAH was sent for her.
Jacob, at his deathbed, prophesied the future of the tribe of Judah, from which JESUS, the high priest from Juda, came from:
Genesis 49:8-12
King James Version
8 Judah, thou art he
whom thy brethren shall praise:
thy hand shall be in the neck of thine enemies;
thy father's children shall bow down before thee.
9 Judah is a lion's whelp:
from the prey, my son, thou art gone up:
he stooped down, he couched as a lion,
and as an old lion; who shall rouse him up?
Genesis 49:10-12
King James Version
10 The sceptre shall not depart from Judah,
nor a lawgiver from between his feet,
until Shiloh come; and unto him
shall the gathering of the people be.
11 Binding his foal unto the vine,
and his ass's colt unto the choice vine;
he washed his garments in wine,
and his clothes in the blood of grapes:
12 His eyes shall be red with wine,
and his teeth white with milk.
Only JESUS, the "Lion of Judah", will be able to open the seven seals of judgment.
Revelation 5:1-5
King James Version
5 And I saw in the right hand
of him that sat on the throne
a book written within and on the backside,
sealed with seven seals.
2 And I saw a strong angel
proclaiming with a loud voice,
Who is worthy to open the book,
and to loose the seals thereof?
3 And no man in heaven, nor in earth,
neither under the earth,
was able to open the book,
neither to look thereon.
4 And I wept much, because no man
was found worthy to open and to read the book,
neither to look thereon.
5 And one of the elders saith unto me,
Weep not:
behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah,
the Root of David,
hath prevailed to open the book,
and to loose the seven seals thereof.
Another wonderful account of GOD's favor over His people can be found through prophet Daniel and the lions story.
Israel, indeed, is worthy of launching a "Rising Lion" operation.
She's got the Hand of GOD to back her up.
With her meager size, she has MIGHTY help.
Woe to anyone who tries to decimate this tiny nation GOD chose for Himself.
The lions are for her.
