The miracles performed on behalf of God’s chosen nation are prolific.

These astonishing movements of God to bring forth, establish, and perpetuate His chosen people as promised are the miracles we know the most about because they’re so profound in their impact. Whereas secular writers and pundits have most often relegated these miracles of God to legend and lore, evidence steadily emerges to validate the historical facts the Bible has chronicled. Archeological evidence of the total destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah is recent proof of the truth of God’s Holy Word.

Certainly the monumental ways God has dealt with Israel and its enemies are important to consider when thinking on prophecy yet to unfold. The Lord has mightily intervened with Israel’s path forward in the past, and He is prophetically scheduled to deal just as mightily in the Tribulation era. As a matter of fact, the primary goal of the Tribulation era–Daniel’s seventieth week—is to purge Israel and bring forth a remnant of God’s people who will be part of the Millennial Kingdom of Christ.

But, to the believing observer of these days and all that is transpiring on an hourly basis, it is undeniable that God is dealing at this very moment with His chosen people and their enemies as surely as He has dealt with them in the past and is scheduled to do in the future.

I refer specifically to the if not supernatural way, almost certainly the heavenly influential way Israel has again pulled off an intervention against their enemies’ plans to inflict their satanic evil.

We saw this heavenly influence years ago when the Jewish state, with the malicious computer virus Stuxnet, reportedly ruined almost one-fifth of Iran’s nuclear centrifuges. Targeting industrial control systems, the worm infected over two hundred thousand computers. Iran’s fast-track program to produce a nuclear weapon came to an abrupt end–for the moment, at least.

Now we witness, I absolutely believe, God’s intervention–His influence—that was used to protect against something big in the way of Israel’s enemies’ plans to again attack Israel. The following reports the matter, with which by now most are familiar.

[Around 2,800 Hezbollah operatives were wounded across Lebanon as communication devices exploded.]

[Most of them were] Hezbollah operatives [who] were wounded across Lebanon on Tuesday afternoon when their communication devices mysteriously exploded at around the same time, according to Reuters and local reports.

Several hours after the incident, Hezbollah said in an official statement: “At 15:30, a large number of pagers exploded, many people were injured. A Lebanese girl and two Hezbollah members were killed in the incident, along with a large number of injured.”

“An extensive security investigation is being conducted to find out the reasons for the explosions. We pray for the speedy recovery of the wounded and call to be careful of spreading rumors that help the enemy. The resistance is in the highest readiness to defend Lebanon and its people,” the statement read.

A Hezbollah source told the Qatari Al Araby Al-Jadeed: “Israel remotely hacked into Hezbollah’s unique communication devices and blew them up.”

In the evening, Lebanon’s Health Minister said there were at least eight dead and over 2750 wounded, including around 200 in serious condition.

The son of Ali Ammar, a Lebanese parliament member for Hezbollah, died as a result of a pager explosion, two security sources tell Reuters.

Among those wounded in the explosions is the Iranian ambassador to Lebanon, Mojtaba Amani, according to Iranian state-owned Mehr News. In addition, the Saudi outlet al-Hadath said senior commanders of Hezbollah were wounded.

Since the explosions of the pagers, hundreds of other devices used to communicate between terrorists have exploded, killing or wounding many who held them.

Lest one is tempted to think these were innocents, with the exception, sadly, of the young girl being killed by the exploding devices, these terrorists had been told to use the pagers in order to not be tracked through their cell phones by the Israeli IDF. Thus, their nefarious plans to attack the hated Israel were foiled. This warning to the terrorists to use the pagers were given through recorded orders by a high-ranking terrorist leader, so the proof of the pagers’ use to do Israel harm exists in a digital paper trail; Israel’s actions were both brilliant and warranted.

I recently heard one American senator or US representative state he wasn’t the least bit worried about Israel’s destruction by its millions of enemies that surround the Jewish state. He stated that God’s Word assures their perpetual existence.

I say “Amen” to that sentiment. Israel is the miracle nation among all the nations of earth. That truth continues to be played out through hourly news cycles. Undoubtedly we will see much more of that truth on display until the Rapture of the Church–at which time we will “watch from the balconies of Heaven,” as my great late friend Chuck Missler was fond of saying.
