הרב שמואל אליהו הגיב הבוקר לדבריו של נשיא ארה"ב לשעבר, דונלד טראמפ, לפיה מדינת ישראל לא הייתה מחזיקה מעמד שעתיים בלעדיו.

"רצינו רק להזכיר לטראמפ שעם ישראל החזיק מעמד 2,000 שנה בלעדי טראמפ והוא ימשיך גם אחריו. עם ישראל התקיים בתנאים הרבה יותר קשים. כשהיינו מפוזרים בין האומות וניסו בכל דור להשמידנו, לא הייתה לנו מדינה משלנו, ובכל זאת שרדנו, גם בלי טראמפ."

הרב אליהו מזכיר כי גם בנקודות המפנה הקריטיות של מדינת ישראל יש ה' ששומר עלינו: "במלחמת העצמאות בתש"ח, ארצות הברית לא תמכה בישראל ולא שלחה לכאן נשק להגנה מפני מדינות ערב, לא שלחה אפילו לא כדור אחד ובכל זאת ניצחנו את כל מדינות ערב. כך היה ערב מלחמת ששת הימים. צרפת וארה"ב הטילו עלינו אמברגו לאיסור מכירת נשק. ובכל זאת ניצחנו את גם מצרים, גם את ירדן וגם את סוריה, והכל בששה ימים."

עוד מוסיף הרב אליהו כי ההיסטוריה מלמדת שגם מהלכים מדיניים שנראו בזמן אמת כבשורה גדולה נכשלו כשלון חרוץ כשהם נגד הבטחות ה'. כך היה עם הסכמי אוסלו שנחתמו בלחץ נשיא ארה״ב דאז והביאו שפיכות דמים גדולה של אלפי הרוגים. כך היה עם ההתנתקות מעזה. עוד הסכם מטופש שהביא רק אסונות ונזקים.

"אנחנו מודים לארה"ב על מה שעזרתם לנו, אבל אנחנו לא אסירי תודה. במלחמה שלנו הבאנו הצלה גם לעולם המערבי שעמד שלוב ידים מול הסרטן האיראני שאיים לכבוש ולהשליט על העולם את האיסלם הרדיקלי."

מציעים לטראמפ, אל תחתום על הסכמי מינכן של דורנו. בהסכמים ההם ויתר צמברלין להיטלר והביא את מלחמת העולם השניה. אל תחזור על אותה טעות.

"לטראמפ נותר זמן לא רב להכריע כיצד תזכור אותו ההיסטוריה: כמנהיג שעמד לצד עם ישראל והביא אור לעולם - או כמי שהתבלבל לחשוב שהוא מנהל את העולם, והותיר אחריו חורבן."

Iran’s regime is escalating its crackdown.

Executions are rising. Christians are being targeted for their faith.

The ACLJ is taking their persecution to the U.N. and demanding accountability on the world stage.

If you’re forcing players to wear “the rainbow”, then don’t get upset when they explain that the real meaning of the rainbow comes from Genesis 9.

In May 1944, 23-year-old Phyllis Latour jumped out of a US bomber and parachuted into occupied Normandy, France. Her mission was to gather information about Nazi positions in preparation for D-Day. Once on the ground, she quickly buried her parachute and clothes, and began a secret mission that would last four months, pretending to be a poor teenage French girl.

Phyllis had been trained by the British Special Operations Executive (SOE). She learned how to send secret messages in Morse code, how to fix wireless radios, and how to spy without being caught. She also went through tough physical training in the Scottish highlands. Phyllis wanted to get revenge on the Nazis who had killed her godfather.

Phyllis said, “The men who had been sent before me were caught and killed. I was chosen because I would be less suspicious.” She would ride a bicycle through the region, pretending to sell soap, and secretly pass messages to the British about German locations. She acted like a country girl chatting with German soldiers to avoid raising suspicion. She moved from place to place to stay hidden and often slept in forests finding her own food.

Phyllis also came up with a clever way to hide her secret codes. She wrote them on a piece of silk and pricked it with a pin each time she used a code. She kept it hidden inside a hair tie. Once when the Germans briefly detained her and searched her she took out the hair tie and let her hair fall, showing she had nothing to hide. In the summer of 1944, Phyllis sent 135 coded messages helping Allied bombers find German targets.

After the war, Phyllis married and moved to New Zealand. Her children didn’t know about her wartime service until 2000, when her oldest son found out online. This hero passed on October 7, 2023. May she rest In peace.

On the night of June 5, 1944, Eisenhower stood on a tarmac in England and watched 13,000 paratroopers board their planes.

He already knew what Air Marshal Leigh-Mallory had told him in private: up to half of them might not survive the night. 6,500 men. Dead before a single soldier touched the beach. Eisenhower had approved the mission anyway, called the decision "soul-wracking," and said nothing to the men.

Instead he drove out and visited them.

He chatted. Laughed. Asked where they were from. Shook hands. Cracked jokes. Not one of them knew their general had just signed what might be their death warrant.

When the last plane disappeared into the dark sky, his driver Kay Summersby looked over at him.

There were tears running down his face.

He drove back to Telegraph Cottage in silence. Then he sat down, picked up a pencil, and wrote a note he prayed no one would ever read.

"Our landings in the Cherbourg-Havre area have failed to gain a satisfactory foothold and I have withdrawn the troops. My decision to attack at this time and place was based upon the best information available. The troops, the air and the Navy did all that bravery and devotion to duty could do. If any blame or fault attaches to the attempt it is mine alone."

Look at what he edited.

He had first written "This particular operation." He crossed it out and replaced it with "My decision to attack." Then he pressed the pencil down hard and drew a long, firm line under the words "mine alone."

He misdated it July 5 instead of June 5.

He was so consumed with dread he had forgotten what month it was.

He folded the note and put it in his wallet. He carried it there as 156,000 men stormed the beaches of Normandy. When word came back that the beachhead had held, he took it out, crumpled it, and threw it in the trash.

An aide quietly pulled it out and saved it.

That note is now behind glass at the Eisenhower Presidential Library in Abilene, Kansas. You can still see where the pencil pressed hardest.

Right under the words "mine alone."

82 years ago tonight.

I would like to ask everyone to pray for Dr. Peter Stafford, the missionary physician who has been evacuated from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) after testing positive for the Ebola virus. Please also pray for his wife, Dr. Rebekah Stafford, and their four children. The Staffords now serve with Serge, but were part of our Samaritan’s Purse Post-Residency Program several years ago. I spoke with Rebekah by phone today and told her we would be praying for Peter and their family. https://t.co/8tc68XsvB2

With heavy hearts, we share the passing of Dr. Marilyn Hickey on April 25, 2026. A faithful servant, she devoted her life to covering the earth with God’s Word. We mourn her loss, yet find peace knowing she is in the Lord’s presence and her ministry will continue for generations.
