The Eagle's Eye Podcast

Does it really need pointing out the fact that the Iranian dictators, who supply money & weapons to Hamas; Hezbollah; and ISIS; Islamic Jihad; the PLO; the Palestinian Authority; the Houthis terrorists; the Taliban etc., and all those who have attacked Britain in the last 20 plus years are all the same? Whether it is the murder of innocent Israeli citizens on October 7, 2023, or bus bombings in Lo...

Chanukah is the Jewish eight-day, wintertime “festival of lights,” celebrated with a nightly menorah lighting, special prayers and special foods. The Hebrew word Chanukah means “dedication,” and is thus named because it celebrates the rededication of the Temple in Jerusal...

Pentecost-Shavuot - Episode 56, Eagles Eye Podcast by David Soakell

I was recently inspired by the Scriptures in I Kings chapters 17, 18 and 19. I’m sure we all know of the story of Moses in Exodus 33, when he climbed Mount Sinai (also known as Mount Horeb, the Mountain of God – 1 Kings 19:8). Another Scripture every Christian must know is from I Kings 19:11-12, where Elijah experiences a strong wind; an earthquake; a fire, and then a ‘still small voice’. But what...

Ever since the Islamic Terrorist group Hamas attacked, raped, killed and kidnapped women, children, babies, grandmothers - even Holocaust survivors, and Israel were forced to take action, the world has changed. This has indeed been a very tough seven months. Here I take a personal look at this, and pose some very serious points that need to be looked into.

These are indeed dark days, and as we watched in horror, the civilian population of Israel being targeted by Hamas terrorism, and innocent civilians on both sides are being killed and traumatised (however, one has to question as to how many Gazan civilians are being killed by their own people, as many of the Hamas and Islamic Jihad rockets have failed and exploded in Gaza). I have been reporting o...

Jenin and Journalism, where facts and context evaporate: On July 3rd, 2023, the Israel Defence Force (IDF) launched what it described as a ‘contained and precise operation’ to foil very active terrorist activity in the Jenin area, which consisted of surprise attacks on terrorist infrastructure in what the world calls the ‘West Bank’ city of Jenin. This is an area that has been dubbed the Arab Pale...

After a few months away, I was finally inspired to recreate a podcast that really spoke to some folks recently. Climbing mountains is never easy, but the climb, no matter how tough, is worth it, when you get to the peak and see the amazing views. Life, health, and faith are often like that mountain climb. But can we really face the questions everyone wants to ask, but feel they can't? And will we...

All over the world in 2022, there are many people who do not enjoy freedom. All over the Middle East, and other areas of the world, Christians in particular, suffer great persecution because of their faith in Jesus (Yeshua). And all over the world the Jewish people too have suffered much persecution – just look at the Holocaust as one example – and today, we are living in an age when antisemitism...

What is the Hebrew month of Cheshvan? What can we learn from this month that will help stop burnout? When we examine the horrendous state of of world, how can we gain peace? And what has any of this got to do with Noah? Noah’s absolute faith in God, which resulted in uncompromising obedience, was the reason he was able to truly enter a place of blessed rest. In fact, the name Noah, or Noach in Heb...

Over the High Holy Days (September/October) Israel has been celebrating the three Biblical Feasts - Rosh Hashanah (Feast of Trumpets), Yom Kippur and Sukkot (the Feast of Tabernacles). All these are Torah-commanded holidays. However, as I was reading sections of the book of Genesis, I really felt the Lord lay an issue on my heart regarding the promises of God to Israel, and how they respond to His...

Shavuot 2023 (Pentecost in Greek), or the Feast of Weeks, is a Jewish holiday. In 2023, Shavuot begins at sunset on Thursday May 25, and concludes at nightfall on Shabbat, May 27, 2023. As you listen to this podcast -The Shavuot Wind Revisited, please cry out to the LORD God that Israel would experience a mighty move of the power of the Holy Spirit throughout her Land over this period and pray tha...

For the Lord has chosen Zion; He has desired it for His dwelling place: “This is My resting place forever; Here I will dwell, for I have desired it. I will abundantly bless her provision; I will satisfy her poor with bread. I will also clothe her priests with salvation, and her saints shall shout aloud for joy. (Psalm 132:13-16) On Wednesday May 4, 2022 Israel remembered her fallen soldiers and vi...

What was the bush that Moses saw burning and why did it attract such curiosity from Moses? And can we learn anything from this ancient Biblical story? This is the theme of this Eagle’s Eye podcast, episode 45. Hope you enjoy this, and that it speaks to you.

One of the Hebrew words that is translated “to refresh” or “to be refreshed” is naphash. It means to breathe or to be breathed upon. So… why not ‘take a breath… maybe this Shabbat, put away your projects, your worries, and cares, even your mobile phones, laptops, and breathe... enjoy!

We all remember where we were and what we were doing on 11 September 2001. The terrorist attacks on New York and Washington marked a turning point in world politics and shook NATO to its core. Less than two hours after being hit by the planes, the twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York collapsed, one after the other - leaving massive clouds of dust and debris. But what impact does this...

In this podcast, I try to look at some of the tough questions you have asked me to cover. According to the Bible, we are all selfish and fail God every day because ‘all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God’ (Romans 3:23) – so we mess up daily and in which case there appears to be little hope for anyone... or is there? Why should God hold out the hand of grace to one and not the other? Ar...

The 4th of July - American Independence Day, is commonly associated with fireworks, parades, barbecues, carnivals, fairs, picnics, concerts, baseball games, family reunions, political speeches, and ceremonies, in addition to various other public and private events celebrating the history, government, and traditions of the United States. The Fourth of July has been a federal holiday in the United S...

Do you wrestle with life? 🤔 📌Do you try to come to terms with the demands of life? 📌And are you too like Jacob in the Scriptures, as he too wrestled with the whole issues of God? And what of Israel? What of the current cancel culture? What of the spirit of lawlessness on our streets that we are witnessing? Something is happening... A stirring… It says in Proverbs 20:5 - “the heart of man is lik...

The situation in Israel as I’m recording this podcast, is very serious as over 3,300 rockets have been fired from Hamas Terrorists in Gaza at Israel this past week. The last time I experienced this was recorded in my short movie at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=14KKAa_lmtI&t=555s However, this weekend, Shavuot (Pentecost) will begin in the evening of Sunday, 16 May 2021. As you listen to this po...

On Friday, April 30, 2021, a tragedy happened as tens of thousands of ultra-Orthodox Jewish people had gathered for the annual Lag B'Omer celebrations at the Galilee tomb of Shimon Bar Yochai, a second-century Rabbi, in northern Israel. Sadly, 45 people were killed, and over 150 injured. But why did this happen, and why were they there? It is written, “Comfort, comfort My people, says your God......

Here is a podcast from the heart. In this Eagle's Eye Podcast, Episode 37 – entitled 'Hinei Ma Tov' - I look at Psalm 133. How can this short Psalm not only speak to us but bless us - if we put it into practice? Here, I look at the human heart. The issue of black and white; Jew and Muslim, and how we respond to terrorist attacks. I also share my thoughts on an amazing statement by Peter Rollins, a...

What is the Sovereignty of God? And can we get our heads around this huge subject? God’s sovereignty is His right and power to do all that He decides to do. Job 42:2 states: “I know that you can do all things, and that no purpose of yours can be thwarted.” The sovereignty of God means the supremacy of God and the kingship of God. To say that God is sovereign is to declare that God is "God". So to...

Symptoms of depression include feeling unhappy or hopeless, low self-esteem and finding no pleasure in things you usually enjoy. Treatment for depression usually involves a combination of lifestyle changes, talking therapies and medicines. Many things can cause depression such as stressful events, personality, family issues, work, death of loved ones, and so much more. But what about people with a...
