"From The Hidden" is taken from the Greek words "apo" (from) and "kalypsis" (the hidden). The transliteration of these words is the word apocalypse. Jesus literally took the end times events from the hidden and revealed them to the beloved Apostle John.

MIRACLES ARE HAPPENING IN ISRAEL by Dena Gewanter, M.D.

While the media in the west are lambasting Israel for killing women and children, and are saturating their viewers with horrific photos of bloodied corpses, Israel as a nation is undergoing an astonishing spiritual awakening as a result of this [Gaza] conflict... First and foremost, Israel as a nation has finally decided to throw aside the fear of being rejected by the nations and embrace its sovereign right to defend its citizens from terrorist attacks. What is so astonishing is that a whopping 92% of Jewish Israelis actually AGREE that the war is necessary and just.

There are calls to prayer everywhere, regardless of denomination or ethnic background, everyone is uniting in looking toward the God of Israel to keep our soldiers safe and help us win against an evil enemy who has sworn never to stop until Israel as a nation is destroyed.

The soldiers themselves seem to have a huge spiritual hunger, and are unified in not only asking for prayer, wearing tzitzit (prayer tassles) into battle and carrying the Book of Psalms with them. The Rabbis are calling the ttzitzit “heavenly flak jackets!” Tent synagogues on the battlefield have no less than 10 sessions every morning, and it is reported that soldiers who never attended synagogue are now praying with terfillum.

They have reason to cry out to God, since everyone is aware of the years of preparation of the bloodthirsty Hamas militants, their desire to kill, maim or kidnap Israeli soldiers is greater than their desire to live; they have been financed by Iran and supported by Syria and Hezbollah.

Yet we are defeating them and there are reports daily of amazing miracles. A Hamas map was found, with booby-traps, landmines and sniper positions clearly spelled out. The IDF was able to counter each installation due to information given, A large platoon of soldiers, not realizing they were resting in a school that was booby-trapped, (discovered by a soldier who was relieving himself at night), disarmed the bombs with no one hurt. A single soldier successfully fought off several Hamas terrorists trying to drag him into a tunnel, and all were captured. A young newlywed, in grave condition, inexplicably turned for the better and will recover and go home to his wife.

Israelis are accustomed to being misunderstood and maligned by the outside world...The rest of the nations have not remembered the threats of Hitler, and how the Jewish people were almost wiped out because no one wanted to believe he actually meant what he said. There is a right and wrong side in this conflict. It is a battle between darkness and light. Fortunately we have a God who is not wishy-washy about defending Israel against her enemies, when His People cried out to Him for help.
