And a single battalion of 40 Israeli tanks could annihilate 1,500 Syrian tanks in less than a week. The Syrians launched a surprise attack. Caught most of the Israeli tank crews on leave! Should have been a walk-over. Instead, with God's guidance and strength....and 40 US built Abrams tanks...the Israelis never doubted they would prevail. During the second night of the war, 6 Israeli tanks were dispatched to support a rifle company holding a bridge. They heard the reports...400 Syrian tanks supported by thousands of infantry...were closing in on that bridge. During the night, under the cover of darkness, those 6 tanks put "pedal to the metal" and raced across the desert to beat that huge Syrian force to the bridge. The commander of those 6 tanks said they trusted that God would deliver victory. The Syrians never set foot on that bridge, they were stopped cold.

Now, that is having supreme confidence that righteous is on your side.


As an aside, during the Syrian retreat from the bridge, the rest of that Israeli tank battalion showed up....It was a turkey shoot. Ouch!
