As I walked through the halls of the rehab center at Teser Hospital, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of awe and respect for the wounded heroes surrounding me. This place, reminiscent of the Walter Reed Hospital in Washington D.C., was filled with brave soldiers and policemen recovering from injuries sustained during the war and terrorist attacks.
An Unexpected Encounter
Just as we were about to leave, I noticed a family in the corner – a young man, his partner, and an older woman. Their appearance suggested they were a Russian-Jewish family, likely immigrants who had fled communism. Normally, I’m cautious about approaching such families, as some can be staunchly non-religious. However, the wounded soldier’s pleading look drew me in.
A Soldier’s Incredible Tale
As I introduced myself, the young soldier, who had lost his leg in combat in Gaza just six weeks prior, began to share his unbelievable story. He recounted a harrowing experience during a mission in the Saiya refugee camp in Gaza City. While standing near the door of an APC (Armored Personnel Carrier), he suddenly felt an invisible hand forcefully push him out of the vehicle. Moments later, a rocket-propelled grenade struck the APC, killing six of his comrades inside. Though he lost his leg, Boris – the Russian-Israeli soldier – survived thanks to this inexplicable intervention.
A Grandmother’s Prophetic Dream
The soldier’s grandmother then shared her part of the story. At 3:30 AM, precisely when the incident occurred, she had a vivid dream. Her deceased grandfather, sporting a long beard, appeared to her with a message: “Don’t worry. You’re going to receive alarming news, but everything will be okay.” Shortly after waking, she received a call from the army informing her of her grandson’s injury.
The Power of the Soul
This extraordinary experience teaches us about the enduring power of the soul. Even after death, our spirits remain alive and capable of influencing the physical world. It’s not the only story of its kind – I’ve heard similar accounts of people feeling inexplicable pushes or influences in critical moments.
A War of Faith
These events are part of a larger spiritual battle – a war of faith. We often say that if our enemies possess 97% dark-sided faith, we need 98% light-sided faith to defeat them. By strengthening our faith, we elevate ourselves above nature, making miracles a natural occurrence.
Conclusion
As we continue to face challenges, it’s crucial to remember that with unwavering faith, miracles are possible. We must hold onto the hope of seeing the Messiah, the rebuilding of the Holy Temple, and even the revival of the dead – all fundamental principles of our faith
This encounter at Teser Hospital serves as a powerful reminder of the invisible forces at work in our lives and the enduring connection between this world and the next. It reinforces the idea that even in the darkest times, there’s always hope for divine intervention and miraculous outcomes.
