It was Sunday, May 4, 2025 — the day a missile pierced Israeli airspace and struck near Ben-Gurion Airport for the first time in Israel’s modern history. What few people know is that one of God’s own daughters was stepping off a plane at that very moment — covered, shielded, and delivered with divine precision.
Barri, a seasoned traveler and servant-leader, had spent four chaotic days simply trying to get to Israel. Every route was blocked. Delays, reroutes, and unexpected disruptions at Dallas-Fort Worth, JFK, LaGuardia, and Air Canada flights made it nearly impossible to reach Tel Aviv. She had been scheduled to lead a group of 14 people — and yet, nothing went according to plan.
Until it did.
She landed in Israel within seconds of the missile’s impact. While the world watched news reports unfold, Barri was physically walking out of the jet bridge — unaware she was stepping into one of the most prophetically significant moments of 2025.
Security rushed passengers into the nearest bathrooms — just off to the left when exiting the gate — where they waited for nearly half an hour. “Thank God,” she wrote, “no one was hurt. It hit a shrubbery area near the road. They’ll have some repair work to do, but no pedestrians or travelers were harmed.”
The Lord had timed her delays to the second. What felt like setback after setback — every missed connection, every rescheduled flight, every hour of exhaustion — was actually divine repositioning. A rerouting orchestrated by the One who sees the end from the beginning.
And in a moment of surreal confirmation, Barri found herself standing beside a man watching the footage of the missile strike in real time. It was happening as she stood there. She had been covered. Kept. Preserved.
We also want to share something deeply connected to this moment. On Saturday, May 3, we felt strongly in the Spirit to issue an urgent call to pray for Israel and the IDF. That call went out, and many faithful intercessors responded. One reader, Ruth, later wrote: “We especially appreciated the call to prayer last Saturday. Perhaps the missile missed causing major damage because you alerted us to the urgent need for prayer — and your faithful prayer warriors answered that call for God's hand to protect Israel.”
We believe Ruth is right. The timing was not coincidence. God moved. Not just through systems, but through intercession.
This is the God of Israel. He doesn’t just protect nations — He protects His people down to the second.
Barri’s testimony is more than an account of safe arrival — it is a sign. A signal to all of us that the shield over Israel is not just technological — it is divine. And the lives of those called to this land are guarded by a timeline not seen by man.
Barri, we honor your obedience. We thank God for your life. And we declare: this testimony is a banner — of covenant, timing, and supernatural covering.
To Yeshua be the glory.
