The PROPHETIC IMPACT of October 7 Attacks on Israel #243 

We speak with Aviva Siegel, an Israeli who was kidnapped from her home in Kfar Azza on October 7th, along with her husband Keith, a dual U.S.-Israeli citizen. They were taken hostage into the tunnels under Gaza, and Aviva was released during the temporary ceasefire deal in November 2023. However, over a year later, Keith remains a hostage in Gaza. In this emotional and haunting conversation, Aviva shares her chilling story of survival, recounting her experiences, fears, and determination to keep the memory of the hostages alive. Her story highlights the human cost of conflict and the importance of advocating for those held against their will. Join us as we hear Aviva's powerful and poignant account and learn how you can make a difference in bringing Keith and the other hostages home.

 

(00:03) No one in the world should go through this.
(11:16) I nearly died so many times.
(20:15) I would love to meet Trump to tell him what I went through.
(41:07) Barely slept for 51 days
(1:04:45) Bring Keith and the hostage back home.

Verse of The day


Psalm 37:1-10


Fret not yourself because of evildoers. Be not envious of wrongdoers, for they will soon fade like the grass and wither like the green herb. Trust in the Lord and do good. Dwell in the land and cultivate faithfulness. Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord, trust him, and he will act. He will bring forth your righteousness as the light and justice as the noonday. Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him. Fret not yourself over the one who prospers in his way, over the man who carries out evil devices. Refrain from anger, forsake wrath, fret not yourself, it tends only to evil. The evildoers shall be cut off, but those who wait for the Lord shall inherit the land. In just a little while, the wicked will be no more. Though you look carefully at his place, he will not be there.
