On It’s Supernatural: The Israeli Army often has faced imminent defeat, but miracles on the battlefield have saved the Israelis time and time again. See how four Israeli tanks defeat 600 Syrian tanks. Nothing is impossible in the realm of the supernatural.
Do angels exist? Are healing miracles real? Is there life after death? Can people get supernatural help from another dimension? Has the future been written in advance? Sid Roth has spent 25 years researching
the strange world of the supernatural. Join Sid on this edition of It’s Supernatural.
SID: Hello, Sid Roth here. Welcome to my world, where it’s naturally supernatural. I have been breathing the rarified air of heaven, and I like heaven air better than earth’s pollution. But the good news is I can do it right here on planet earth. We’re talking with Bill McKay, Hollywood film producer, about his series “Against All Odds.” He has done brilliant investigative reporting documenting modern-day miracles that would rival the miracles you’ve read in the Tanach, you’ve read in the scriptures, you’ve read in the Old Testament, the New Testament – you’ve heard of anywhere! These miracles are so phenomenal. It’s equivalent – the miracles in modern-day Israel are equivalent to someone missing an arm, someone praying for them, and the arm growing totally out. You have to see them. Bill, it must’ve been hard for you to believe these miracles. Your life is a miracle. You should’ve died if God didn’t perform a miracle as a young man. But it still must’ve been hard for you to believe.
BILL: Well it is, because I think, even as Christians who embrace the supernatural and understand that God created the heavens and earth and has purpose for our lives and all the rest, when you’re confronted with a collection of facts that suggest, arguably, that something should not exist, particularly the Israelis… I mean they should not exist on the planet. One of the things we researched and determined was that they are the only people group on the planet that have ever been displaced from their land to return again, not once, but twice. This has never happened in the history of the world. They’ve been hunted down by every major superpower, except the United States. And, not just survived, but they have thrived.
SID: Wait till you hear the story about a modern-day hero, General Kalani. Tell me about him.
BILL: Very interesting man, and one who has a deep spiritual sense of who God is. In 1967, he was involved in a vicious tank battle with the Egyptians in the Sinai. His tank was literally blown out of the sand, and he found himself on fire in the belly of his tank. He clawed his way out of that tank and was literally rolling through the sands of the desert to try to extinguish the flames. In those seconds, he called on the name of the Lord, and he said “I don’t know if there’s a God out there, but if there is, I want to make peace with You.” In his own feeble way, he constructed whatever the sentences were that allowed prayer to come out of his soul. He said “God, if You want my life, I will give it to You.” At the time, nothing miraculous happened other than he lived…
SID: But he should’ve never been able to reenlist in the military.
BILL: No. They went back to do all the medical testing afterwards, and you have to score a 92 on the Israeli scale, which is very tough. He scored a 32. When the surgeon was out of the room, because of his love for Israel, and for the flag of Israel, he changed the score, which allowed him to go back in. Now this is important Sid, because in 1973, when the Jews were in religious holiday, repenting for their sins as a nation, the Syrians decided…
SID: You’re talking about the Yom Kippur war.
BILL: Young Kalani, who’s now a little bit older and a colonel, a commander, was sent desperately up to the Golan Heights to stop the Syrian armada from an advance. The Syrians were planning to sweep down
through the valley into Tel Aviv, realizing that even if the Israelis could pull out one of their great miracles and survive, if we can destroy the economic industrial base of Tel Aviv, then we’ve won the war. The economics will be the finishing point for Israel. Kalani knew that he and his four tanks were the only thing that stood between the utter destruction of Israel and the Syrian army.
SID: Good time for a miracle.
BILL: He was not necessarily looking for a miracle, but when he gave the orders for his four tanks to move directly into the face of 600 tanks…
SID: 600?!?!
BILL: 600 Syrian tanks…
SID: How many did he have?
BILL: Four.
SID: I said, that’s a good time for a miracle!
BILL: All of the tanks except for his advanced forward. They were in a state of paralysis. He said that when he was in that moment, he realized that what God had done for him and through him in 1967 when he was rolling through the desert and he personally faced death, and by God’s grace he overcame the power of death, he knew then why he’d been rescued – for this moment. The fear of death was no longer with him,
and he gave the orders and went straight into battle. How it happened, no one knows, but for 72 hours this man held off over 600 Syrian tanks. Now this is important Sid, because it’s not just a great story of a David taking on a Goliath single-handedly, but God was working somewhere else around the world that allowed that moment to take place.
SID: You know what’s so amazing to me is, I have studied history about the Presidents of the United States, and I know the Presidents who have been pro-Israel, and I know the Presidents who have been anti-Semites. One that I would never have thought was pro-Israel that God literally reached down and touched
and literally, he became President of the United States for this decision, and few people know it, was President Richard Nixon. As far as I’m concerned, he turned from goat to hero in my eyes, and especially in God’s eyes.
