Back in the 60s, there was a well-known spy by the name of Ily Cohen.

In fact, he was probably the greatest spy in Israel's history.

Ely has infiltrated the highest echelons of the Syrian government.

He had access to the high military secrets. He got the master

plan of the Syrian defenses. He got the precise locations of the armaments and of the fortification

of that country.

And he transmitted all of these from a hidden location in Damascus, all the way to Israel.

Ile Cohen lived deep into the enemy's territories.

Ile Coen became close friends with those who are at enmity with his people.

And as a result, Israel experienced victory back in the 60, what we called the Six-Day War in

1967.

Now, in many ways, this is a modern story that is a replica of the story

that is found in the book of Joshua, chapter 2, and I will encourage you to turn to it.

Joshua sent two spies to the enemy's territories. Their job, their task, their call,

their mission was to bring victory to their people. Of course, today we have satellites that

are so powerful that can literally see into people's bedrooms.

Today we have the AWACs planes.

We have reconnaissance planes.

We have drones.

We have all kinds of technology.

And yet the cry of all of the military experts around the world, particularly our military experts, is good and helpful as all of these technologies may be.

The greatest need, and there are no substitute for people living and breathing behind enemy's line.
