STRIKE ON IRAN ON SHABBAT ZACHOR, A BLOW AGAINST TERROR STATE & ANTISEMITISM

By Barbara Miller 1.3.26

Today’s Haman, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who had a similar plan to eliminate worldwide Jewry, met the same fate and on the eve of Purim – his own death. And the Jewish people live. Am Yisrael Chai.

The US and Israel attack on Iran, ancient Persia, over its nuclear and ballistic missiles and sponsorship of terrorism targeted at Israel occurred on Shabbat Zachor. This is the Shabbat before Purim which starts Monday evening. On Shabbat Zachor or the Shabbat of Remembrance, there is a supplementary reading to the parashah or torah portion. It is Deuteronomy 25:17-19 and it commands the people of God to remember the evil of Amalek and obliterate it from the earth, “obliterate the memory of Amalek from under the heavens.”

Did Israeli and even American leaders know that they fulfilled this command by striking Iran on Shabbat Zachor? I think they did. They may have even timed it for this reason.

The commandment was given when the Israelites were coming from Egypt into the Promised Land and the Amalekites attacked the stragglers, weak and elderly at the rear. The commandment was repeated by GoD to Moses in Exodus 17:14-16 when Amalek attacked them at Rephidim, challenging God’s throne, just before they got to Mt Sinai where God made covenant with them and gave them the ten commandments.

Another attempt to prevent Israel’s destiny was when David and his men returned to their camp at Ziglag to find their camp burnt and wives taken captive. This could have prevented him becoming King but he led a successful rescue. Sadly, this is near present day Kibbutz Be’eri and Kfar Aza where some of the worst atrocities occurred on October 7 and we visited there recently.

So. it is no surprise that, though the Amalekites have disappeared as a race that Israel has a habit of calling all its enemies Amalekites. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu used the term Amalekites re Hamas so the prosecutors used this to accuse him of genocide at the International Court of Justice hearings. The jury is out so to speak but the damage has been done.

Why would Amalek have a murderous hate of Israel? He was the grandson of Esau, twin to Jacob whose name was changed to Israel. Esau despised his birthright and inheritance and sold it to his brother for a bowl of lentils. Jacob tricked his father into giving him the blessing so Esau’s anger and jealously has been handed down through the generations. The covenant promises are through the lineage of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and that was God’s plan.

So, we come to the story of Purim where Haman, the Agagite is a descendant of King Agag of the Amalekites and Haman wanted the Jews in Persia to bow down to him as Prime Minister. When Mordecai refused, he got King Xerxes 1 to write a decree to have them exterminated in all the empire on 13 Adar 356 BCE. But Queen Esther (Hadassah), secretly a Jew, was asked by Mordecai to intervene. She asked all Jews to fast and pray for 3 days and then she went to the King.

When Haman’s plot was revealed, the King instructed Haman to be hung on the same gallows he’d constructed for Mordecai. As decrees could not be cancelled, the King instructed Esther and Mordecai to right another decree to reverse the effect of the first one. This meant Jews could defend themselves and even pre-emptively strike those they believed intended to kill them. The threat was eliminated and the feast of Purim instituted to celebrate.

We come back to the Shabbat Zachor strike on Iran which in some ways was pre-emptive and in some ways defensive as Iran has been responsible for funding and training many proxies to attack Israel – Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthis, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and militias in Iraq, Syria and the West Bank (Judea/Samaria.)

Israel was on the brink of signing an Abrahamic Accord with Saudi Arabia when Hamas attacked on October 7 with the aim of blowing the accord out of the water. It would have been a historic breakthrough in relations in the Middle East. Israel is now on the brink of a new breakthrough with the weakening and possible demise of the Iranian regime. Interestingly, it was the 47^thPresident of the United States that has brought 47 years of Islamic terrorist rule in Iran to the brink of collapse.

I want to make two final points:

1. It was Persia, ancient Iran, which produced Cyrus and other kings who enabled the Jewish people to return from Babylonian captivity and financed the rebuilding of Jerusalem and the temple. We need a modern-day Cyrus in Iran who will favour Israel and may even sign the Abraham Accords or similar with it.
   
2. I take the commandment of Deuteronomy 25:17-19 about remembering the evil of Amalek and eradicating it from under heaven about being a call to us, Jews and Christians, to obliterate the spirit of Amalek which is a spirit of violent antisemitism. While radical Islam is one manifestation of it, it predates Islam by many centuries.

PROPHETIC PRAYER AND VISION OF JESUS AND HIS FOOTPRINTS AND HANDS ON BONDI BEACH 25.1.2026 BY PS NORMAN MILLER

Lord, even though we saw what took place before Christmas, we saw what took place on BondI. But Lord, I pray in this place, in this lake of Galilee, from this city. I pray Lord that there will be a catch because of the network and the influence of that network will carry and it will carry and it will draw because it will be a network Lord of people that you’ll bring together and Lord that it will be strengthened in your word in your foundation. It will be people like heart like mind. Though there are differences, but Lord, it’s you that brings about and makes a difference because of your word and the promise of your word. It will be a people of influence, importantly godly influence that you’ll bring into this network of ministries that love you, that serve you, that honor you, that will stand shoulder to  shoulder Because there will be much more that you will do.

And the influences, Lord, that right now that you’re calling them to come together because it’s you that will bring them together. And Lord, we pray that even as the disciples, they were in the boat, they didn’t exactly need another boat or a bigger boat because they had you as the lordship and the kingship and you were steering them and you were healing them and you were restoring them. And as that restoration came, Lord, they were built because of you and the word of your foundations and the strength of your foundations. The word of the Lord of Jerusalem came strongly into their hearts and into their spirits and they were able to carry out as that network of people that you have joined together to bring in such a harvest to reach out. You were drawing them, Lord, for a time.

And even as the catch and they were able to come together and have that meal together, have that breakfast together with you that you will draw that network of people that right now that you’re speaking to the hearts to. And Lord, what took place on the beach of Bondi there? You will establish that beach head ministry. And Lord, even as I’m praying, I I looked on the front of my Bible and it gave that scripture of all the words of footprints. When you saw only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you. And you will call us to carry the task that you’ve given us. Your promises are yes and amen. Your covenant promises are yes and amen.

Lord, right now that you speaking to the hearts of men and women even in this nation. And Lord, even right now, I can just see your footprints in the sand deeply printed. In the sands of that beach and your hands, Lord, as we have heard the miracles that you’ve done. In the sadness of that tragedy, you will turn around for your good, the saving of many souls for your kingdom. And so Lord, the response that will come from a people that you you are speaking to right now.

When we hear them say, “The Lord spoke to me and I said, “Here I am, Lord. Send me. Here I am, Lord. Use me. That will be the response of a heart of obedience that will hear the wave and move of your Holy Spirit, the wave of your glory. And Lord, I know that you will position men and women that will come on board. And as the surfboard goes out and is ready to catch that wave, we ask and pray, Lord. There will be those that will respond and they will say, “The Lord spoke to me.” The confirming word. Because out of this place of devastation, the goodness of God will come through and shine forth. the light of the world. Shine your glory. Shine your presence. Heavy way. Heavy weight. Heavy weight. And in that song that we all know so well this little light of mine, I’m going to let it shine.
