OCTOBER 6th, 1973

The YOM KIPPUR WAR Begins

Yep, that's right.  In 1973, the HOLIEST day on the Jewish calendar fell on October 6th.  And what happened?   Israel was attacked by the combined forces of Egypt and Syria.

Many Israeli soldiers were observing the holiday, so it isn't too surprising to see how Egypt and Syria made advances.  But, once the Jewish troops were mobilized for a counter-offensive, Egypt and Syria were defeated (yet again!).

What can be learned from this?  When the enemy thinks you'll be ill-prepared, they'll be most likely to strike!  Sadly, this happens often.  Whether it be war, in the schools, or in our own spiritual lives.
