General Winter Gets Top Spot in Israeli Army
"General Winter" was once only the personified idea of winter snow and ice "helping" Russians successfully defend themselves from invasions like those of Napoleon and Hitler. The new General Winter is a very real person, recently appointed to a high position in the IDF (Israeli Defense Forces.) Aside from his symbolic last name, the appointment could prove important from a prophetic standpoint, as he is a very religious man, deeply committed to destroying Israel's enemies. Is war with Iran, or any other potential prelude to WWIII, more likely as a result?
as reported elsewhere:
Israeli "Defense Minsiter Avigdor Lieberman... decided to appoint Brigadiere General Ofer Winter to the position of Military Secretary to the Minister of Defense.... Winter currently serves as the Chief Officer of the Central Command Headquarters in the IDF.
Winter was recently overlooked for an appointment to the new position of Military Secretary for the Prime Minister, a position he coveted, and believed, according to some reports in the Israeli media, that he was passed over due to the fact that he is religious. Following the disappointment, he told associates that if he would no longer be able to grow in his career, then he would be forced to leave the IDF.
Winter is 47 years old, married and a father of eight children. Winter previously gained notoriety when he wrote in a letter to his soldiers the following statement which inflamed the left-wing politicos in Israel. “History has chosen us to spearhead the fighting against the terrorist ‘Gazan’ enemy which abuses, blasphemes and curses the God of Israel’s defense forces,”
Since then, Winter’s career has stagnated, and he believed that this most recent disappointment was due to that same glass-ceiling which he had struck. However, the new appointment opened up new career paths and possibilities for the high-ranking religious officer.
In his famed letter, Winter also wrote: “I cast my eyes heavenward and call out with you: “Shema Yisroel, Hashem Elokeinu, Hashem Echad. Hashem, G-d of Israel, please pave the way that we are to go and fight for your nation Am Yisroel against an enemy that blasphemes your name successful.”
