As a Christian, our faith is anchored on the faithfulness of God. So we walk by faith, not by sight. That is how we acquire spiritual sight. Spiritual sight puts physical sight in proper perspective. So we accept what we cannot yet see, trusting then knowing we will see.

El 24 de mayo de 1991, un Boeing 747 despegó de Etiopía con más de mil personas a bordo. Cuando aterrizó en Israel, los responsables descubrieron que el número de pasajeros no coincidía con el registrado antes de la salida.

Dos bebés habían nacido durante el vuelo.

Y todavía faltaban niños por contar.

El avión formaba parte de la Operación Salomón, una evacuación organizada para trasladar a miles de judíos etíopes mientras una guerra civil amenazaba con extenderse hasta Addis Abeba, la capital del país.

Muchos pertenecían a la comunidad Beta Israel, cuyos miembros habían vivido durante generaciones en las regiones montañosas del norte de Etiopía.

En los meses anteriores, familias enteras habían abandonado sus aldeas y recorrido largas distancias para llegar a Addis Abeba. Algunas vendieron sus animales y pertenencias para pagar el traslado. Otras llevaban años esperando la autorización necesaria para salir del país.

En mayo de 1991, la situación se volvió crítica.

Las fuerzas rebeldes avanzaban hacia la capital y el gobierno del presidente Mengistu Haile Mariam estaba a punto de derrumbarse.

Tras negociaciones diplomáticas en las que participaron Israel, Estados Unidos y organizaciones judías, las autoridades etíopes permitieron organizar un puente aéreo de emergencia.

El 24 de mayo comenzaron los vuelos.

Durante aproximadamente 36 horas, decenas de aeronaves militares y civiles transportaron a más de 14.000 personas desde Addis Abeba hasta Israel.

Para aprovechar al máximo el espacio disponible, los aviones fueron acondicionados para transportar una cantidad extraordinaria de pasajeros. En algunos se retiraron los asientos y las familias viajaron sentadas en el suelo o sobre colchonetas.

Uno de los Boeing 747 de la compañía El Al estableció un récord mundial.

El registro Guinness reconoce aproximadamente 1.088 pasajeros en aquel vuelo, incluidos dos bebés nacidos durante el trayecto.

Pero años después, el comandante Arieh Oz, piloto de aquella aeronave, relató un detalle que había pasado inadvertido durante el embarque.

Algunas madres habían escondido a sus hijos pequeños bajo la ropa.

Muchas de aquellas familias desconocían cómo funcionaban los aviones y no estaban completamente seguras de quién las transportaba ni de lo que sucedería con ellas.

Según explicó Oz, cuando las madres comprobaron que la tripulación las trataba con amabilidad y que podían confiar en sus acompañantes, comenzaron a sacar a los niños de sus escondites.

Un recuento posterior elevó a 1.122 el número de personas que podrían haber viajado en aquella aeronave.

La cifra exacta sigue siendo discutida, pero el récord permanece vigente.

La operación terminó el 25 de mayo de 1991. Aproximadamente 14.325 judíos etíopes habían llegado a Israel. Pocos días después, las fuerzas rebeldes entraron en Addis Abeba.

Hay un detalle particular sobre Arieh Oz, el piloto que transportó a aquellas familias.

Había nacido en Europa con el nombre de Harry Klausner y, durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, sobrevivió a la Shoa porque una familia neerlandesa lo mantuvo escondido junto a su hermana durante tres años.

Décadas después, fue él quien pilotó un avión en el que algunas madres también habían escondido a sus hijos para protegerlos.

Cuando aquellos niños salieron de debajo de las ropas de sus madres, el comandante descubrió que había transportado a más personas de las que aparecían en su lista.

Jesus obeyed where Adam disobeyed. He lived the slave of righteousness life we couldn’t live, so He could give us the Servant of Grace life we don’t deserve, and the King of Glory life we can’t earn.

In Libya, a man was beaten simply for wearing a cross around his neck. Meanwhile, Muslims in the West enjoy every freedom and cry “Islamophobia” at the slightest criticism, while Christians in Muslim-majority countries can be attacked for something as simple as wearing a cross.

Her name is Kyerna Jonathan. She is 35 years old. Her story is one of raw courage, resilience, and a mother’s ultimate sacrifice.

On Monday, August 17th, 2026, armed terrorists speaking Fulani and chanting “Allahu Akhbar” invaded Bin Mper village in Kombun District, Mangu Local Government Area of Plateau State, Nigeria. They came in swarms, and her home was the first they broke into.

Her husband, Jonathan Ishaku, was keeping watch outside. With no weapon to defend his family and no time to get them out, he ran into a nearby cornfield, praying the attackers would pass over his house. They did not. Their mission was to leave no survivors.

They shot off the door locks and stormed the room where Kyerna lay sleeping with her five children, firing round after round from automatic rifles.

With seconds to act, Kyerna made a choice. She threw herself over her two youngest children who were sleeping beside her bed, using her own body as a shield.

The gunmen kept firing for several minutes, hitting her multiple times in the back before leaving her for dead.

When rescuers arrived minutes later, they found Kyerna bleeding heavily and unable to move. But beneath her, the two children she had covered were completely unharmed.

Tragically, she did not have time to reach her three other children. They were killed in the attack. They were among the 25 people buried the following morning in Bin Mper village.

Kyerna survived. She was rushed to the hospital where she is currently receiving treatment for her injuries a mother who took the bullets meant for her children and lived to tell it.

@ThereseUTD City are a local club. All their fans are English. They only understand £. United are an international club. Their fans are spread all over the globe. An international currency like the $ or € is most appropriate for instant comprehension of the amount involved.

@Y_Akoma @Naija_PR They are NOT dangerous at all.. they just have a bad PR because they do not make any sound. They do not eat our food. They only eat insects. Our only fixation with them is because they never interact with us...

Prodigal Son Parable: Two sons, two wilderness patterns, two wilderness existences: The younger brother had to hit bottom to remember he was a son. The elder brother had to be told he was a son to remember he was at home. #prodigalson #sanctification

[William Bright @DatNewness]

Justification v Sanctification: Using biblical race analogy; Justification puts us in the race. Sanctification is how we run. "Let us run with endurance the race that is set before us. " (Hebrews 121ESV)

[William Bright @DatNewness]

@TrustJesusAlone My tweet was Psalm 51, not Acts 2. David was already God’s. Then he sinned. Then conviction said “come back.” That’s not TULIP. That’s sanctification. You fight for justification by faith alone. Amen. I’m writing for justified men who think condemnation is louder than conviction.

[William Bright @DatNewness]

The Spirit’s conviction draws us toward God, producing repentance. Where condemnation says, “you are irredeemable,” conviction says, “you have sinned, but come back to the Father.” It acknowledges our failure honestly while pointing to Christ’s sufficient grace...

[William Bright @DatNewness]

@TrustJesusAlone I think we’re on different pages. You’re defending how a lost man gets to the Father. I’m describing how a found man gets back to the Father after he’s wandered. John 12:32 - gospel going to all nations. John 16:8 is Spirit convicting the world. I agree.
