BASEL/JERUSALEM (Worthy News) – A survivor of the Hamas massacre in Israel has defied the odds by racing to the top in the Eurovision Song Contest.

Yuval Raphael, 24, took second place in the world’s largest live-televised song competition, overcoming pro-Palestine protesters and calls to ban Israel from the event.

Israeli reporters in Basel said security thwarted two separate attempts by demonstrators to rush the stage during Raphael’s performance.

The incidents were not seen on the live television broadcast, and the Israeli singer did not appear to be aware of them in real time, but previously, booing could be heard.

“I can’t explain to you the level of my excitement,” she said after her stunning performance during the event in Basel, Switzerland.

It was a far cry from October 7, 2023, when she attended the Nova Sukkot Gathering music festival in Re’im in southern Israel, which was then suddenly attacked by Hamas gunmen.

DEATH SHELTER

She said she was inside “a Death Shelter” near kibbutz Be’eri with 50 other people, while sustaining shrapnel injuries from grenades thrown into the shelter.

Raphael was only one of 11 survivors, having hidden under dead bodies for eight hours. Some 1,200 people were killed and hundreds kidnapped by Hamas, deemed a terrorist organization by Israel and most of its allies.

“The entire song [at Eurovision] was dedicated to the people, to Israel, to my friends, to those in my heart, to those who are no longer with us today, to the hostages who are still there,” Raphael stressed early Sunday after her second-place finish.

In Israel, commentators were overwhelmed with joy. “Raphael’s song, ‘New Day Will Rise,’ defied the odds, rising to near the top of the standings following the viewer voting around the world,” wrote The Jerusalem Post newspaper.

She was just behind classically trained countertenor JJ of Austria, who performed in the Eurovision Song Contest 2025 with “Wasted Love.”

An estimated 160 million people from Europe and beyond were believed to have watched the show, which featured 37 countries.

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
