The Muslim co-pilot who unsuccessfully hijacked the FlyDubai flight to Tel Aviv made his intended terror attempt on flight 1073.

10/7 was 3 years ago — 1073!

But a miracle of God working through brave people averted this disaster.

The October 7, 2023, massacre occurred exactly 50 years to the day of the beginning of the 1973 Yom Kippur war in which Israel’s Muslim neighbors attacked the Jewish state, hoping to eradicate it from the map.

But God intervened on behalf of his people, ending that war in just 19 days, just as He intervened last Wednesday, stopping the Muslim co-pilot from sending a plane full of Israeli Jews and Americans to a fiery death.

I am in Israel today, here to observe the gruesome anniversary of Hamas’ attack on the innocent people attending the Nova Music Festival, as well as families living in nearby kibbutzim.

Tomorrow, on the third anniversary of the October 7 massacre, I will be at the Western Wall, joining a worldwide, 24-hour prayer service.

Will you join me in prayer?

Please commit to pray for Israel and Jewish people worldwide tomorrow.
