The Hebrew word for brother is ach. In everyday Hebrew, you will often hear the word achi, which is a contraction of ach and sheli, and means “my brother.” Often, this term doesn’t only refer to blood relatives but also to close friends who have forged a tight bond. According to the King James Bible Dictionary, the word brother is used 367 times in Scripture. Given the frequency of use, it seems clear that God values the bonds of brotherhood and unity.

As I write this article on the 310th day of Israel’s war with Hamas inGaza, the nations are holding their collective breath, waiting to see if Iran or her proxies will make good on the threat of devastating direct missile attacks against the Jewish state. The United States, United Kingdom and France have all upgraded their military presence in the region even as intense international diplomatic efforts are being carried out.
The message from inside Iran is one of disunity. Newly elected President Masoud Pezeshkian continues to express his opposition to military action, warning that a war with Israel will devastate the Iranian economy and further damage Iran’s international standing. Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei is holding his cards pretty close to his chest, although his hatred for Israel and the West is renowned. Meanwhile, leaders of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corp (IRGC) are demanding a severe response that “will teach Israel a lesson.” They have publicly stated they no long care if their actions trigger an all-out Middle East war. And amid this tug-of-war between those who anticipate catastrophic damage from direct conflict with Israel and those who are too embarrassed to back down, word has it that the man on the street in Tehran is enraged at the actions of the Iranian government and terrified that an unwinnable war with Israel will destroy their lives and their nation.
