Like the birds that fly, even so will God of Hosts shieldYerushalayim, shielding and saving, protecting and rescuing
Isaiah 31:5 (The Israel Bible™)

כְּצִפֳּרִים עָפוֹת כֵּן יָגֵן יְהוָה צְבָאוֹת עַל־יְרוּשָׁלִָם גָּנוֹן וְהִצִּיל פָּסֹחַ וְהִמְלִיט
Hear the verse in Hebrew

A Holy Mission
Throughout the Bible, Hashem (God) is compared to a bird shielding His young. One of the more common birds mentioned in the Bible is the eagle. Eagles, who fly higher in the sky than other birds, carry their young on their backs rather than dangling down from their claws. Since eagles fly higher than other birds, they do not fear other flying predators. An eagle's only concern is hunters who may shoot at it’s young from below, and so it uses its own body as a shield for its children. Hashem continues to protect His children from the sky using the Israeli Air Force as His holy agent in this mission. Israel is known for its powerful air force which protects and defends the People and the Land of Israel.

Would it not be wise for Palestinians to stop their attacks on Israel?
 

The cry “Violence!” Shall no more be heard in your land, Nor “Wrack and ruin!” Within your borders. And you shall name your walls “Victory” And your gates “Renown”
Isaiah 60:18 (The Israel Bible™)

לֹא־יִשָּׁמַע עוֹד חָמָס בְּאַרְצֵךְ שֹׁד וָשֶׁבֶר בִּגְבוּלָיִךְ וְקָרָאת יְשׁוּעָה חוֹמֹתַיִךְ וּשְׁעָרַיִךְ תְּהִלָּה

Happy Jerusalem Day!
In the verse above, the Prophet Yeshayahu (Isaiah) speaks of a peaceful future in which the Land of Israel will be devoid of violence and Yerushalayim will shine its light onto world. Chaim Weizman, the first President of the State of Israel, explained the illumination that Yerushalayim would provide for the world: "Jerusalem holds a unique place in the heart of every Jews. Its restoration symbolizes the redemption of Israel...To us Jerusalem has both a spiritual and a temporal significance. It is the City of God...it is also the capital of David and Solomon...It is the center of our ancient national glory. It was our lodestar in all our wanderings. It embodies all that is noblest in our hopes for the future...Even though our Commonwealth was destroyed, we never gave up Jerusalem...It seems inconceivable that the establishment of a Jewish State should be accompanied by the detachment from it of its spiritual center and historical capital." These words ring true, especially today, on Yom Yerushalayim (Jerusalem Day). Today we celebrate 51 years since the miraculous and prophetic reunification of the Holy City of Jerusalem!
