<\/source><\/picture>As the death toll in Israel surpasses 700, with over 2,000 injured and more than 100 others taken hostage by Hamas in Saturday’s terrorist attacks, a former Israel Defense Forces captain of the Shayetet 13 unit, now psalmist, Yair Levi, <\/a>says he feels the end of time is near.<\/p>\n Israeli police officers and IDF soldiers have lost their lives fighting Hamas terrorists who infiltrated Israel from Gaza on Oct 7, as Israel celebrated the final day of the Sukkot holiday. Hamas militants ambushed the Erez Crossing<\/a> and Re\u2019im military base<\/a> and breached the border fence with explosives and a bulldozer. The militants killed and abducted Israelis in villages and border towns near Gaza, and posted some of the abductions and killings on social media platforms.<\/p>\n Levi, who served in the IDF for eight years and resides in Tel Aviv with his family, told The Christian Post that he believes this war is another sign of what he calls the end of time.<\/p>\n “I think that we are at the end of time. I think that everybody can feel it. Everyone can feel it,\u201d reiterated Levi, a Levite.<\/p>\n “The more we’re getting close to the end, the more the devil [is trying] to control, and he’s putting his last fight into the ground, into the people, into nations. He’s acting through nations, through people,\u201d he stressed.\u00a0<\/p>\n As Israel battles Hamas, Hezbollah and possibly Iran, Levi expects he could be called up for emergency military reserve duty as the war continues. He also expressed his concerns about the security breach and expects more details to be released in the coming weeks. Several soldiers who served under Levi have been wounded, and one was killed.<\/p>\n Although Levi and his family initially had to evacuate to the shelter in their home, he believes God will protect his family throughout this war.\u00a0<\/p>\n “First, we need to trust Him, to trust God. This is exactly what He wants from us. It’s kind of a test for us: what are we going to choose? Are we going to choose the bad side, the devil, or the good side?\u201d he posited.\u00a0<\/p>\n “I can tell you this, right now in Israel, there is such a long line for people that want to give blood to the hospital, people that are trying to help the soldiers,\u201d he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n Levi has also teamed up with Rabbi Tuly Weisz of Israel 365<\/a> to host prayer sessions<\/a> with Israel’s allies worldwide. The musician encouraged Americans to share the truth about what’s happening in Israel and to be a light in these dark times.\u00a0<\/p>\n “People from the U.S. [should] find places where they can help in their community to say, ‘What can I do better in this last time of redemption? What can I do better with my neighbors, with my family, with my church, with my friends all over the world?’ And, of course, in this kind of situation with the people of Israel that are really suffering right now. It’s a good opportunity to support and to show love, and it’s so appreciated,\u201d he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n Levi’s work as a singer, songwriter and musical producer is gaining notoriety.\u00a0His music is filled with psalms and has been embraced by Jews and Christians alike. His latest release, a Hebrew remake of Matt Redman\u2019s \u201c10,000 Reasons,\u201d has gone viral and is even played in some of the most prestigious synagogues throughout the Holy Land.<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/cdn.christianpost.com\/images\/cache\/image\/15\/06\/150603_w_400_264.webp\")
