Editor’s Note: This is PART 3 of our four-part series about the situation in Israel, what led to this catastrophe, and how it relates to end times prophecy. If you missed PART ONE or PART TWO access them here. As the conflict in Israel continues, the war is in a new phase: Israel’s retaliation. Reasonable people worldwide understand that the IDF (Israeli Defense Force) is left with no choice but to strike back in response to the atrocities committed by Hamas against unsuspecting civilians, including children and the elderly. As time goes on, the world will learn more about the war crimes committed by these brutal savages. As suspected, public support for Israel is quickly fading even though, unlike Hamas, The IDF is NOT targeting innocent civilians. The residents of the West Bank are fleeing in droves because they know what is coming next—unlike the innocent and unsuspecting women and children kidnapped or killed in their own homes. In addition to bombing strikes in Judea and Samaria (i.e., the West Bank), strategic operations are underway in countries surrounding Israel. “Disabling runways in Aleppo and Damascus will help prevent the transfer of fighters and weapons from Israel’s enemies, the surrounding nations of Iran, Iraq, and eastern Syria,” according to Amir Tsarfati on Telegram. News of Israel’s retaliation has once again stirred up hatred for the Jewish nation. The likes of Black Lives Matter, Antifa, the coddled snowflakes of Harvard University, and even some members of Congress are defending the indefensible actions of Hamas and other antisemitic terror organizations.
What’s Next?As I stated previously, all roads lead to Iran and, consequently, down the path to nuclear war. It’s no secret that the predominantly Muslim nation of Iran has threatened to wipe Israel off the map. “Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei described Israel in 2000 as a ‘cancerous tumor’ that ‘must be uprooted from the region,” according to the United States Institute of Peace. Hamas, in and of itself, does not pose an existential threat to Israel. As we’ve seen in recent days, Israel is taking care of eradicating this group of terrorists. On the other hand, Hezbollah is much more sophisticated in its weaponry and has been building up its arsenal. They started with 33,000 rockets and missiles in 2006 and amassed to an estimated 150,000+ missiles—all pointed directly at Israel from Lebanon, its neighbor to the north! Hezbollah’s involvement could lead to next-level engagement by Iran that funds the criminal organizations. More on Iran in a minute. Why Now?As mentioned in earlier posts, there’s been an escalation in the past few years leading to where Israel finds itself today—on the brink of annihilation. Below are five reasons why, in my estimation, war is happening now. 5. Arab leaders want to normalize relations with Israel.Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) was set to formalize a historic deal to normalize relations with Israel. However, after the Hamas attack, the Saudi Government faced pressure from the Arab world to back the Palestinians. Saudi Arabia then issued a statement blaming Israel’s policies for the attack, causing the Israelis to take the agreement off the table. Other Arab countries have recently signaled that they also wish to establish relations with Israel. Just last month, the Libyan Foreign Minister, Najla Mangoush, was forced to flee her country after riots broke out in Tripoli, the capital of Libya. What was her great crime that she now stands accused of grand treason? Talking to Eli Cohen, the Foreign Minister of Israel. Even hinting at normalizing relations with Israel is illegal in Libya and elsewhere.
Coincidently, The Libyan Foreign Minister fled to Turkey to escape her country. Turkey and Libya are two of the nations that join the alliance with Iran and Russia, according to Ezekiel 38. I encourage you to keep an eye on the country of Turkey in the coming months. Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan has been rumored to want to pull Turkey out of NATO and join an alliance with Russia and China. This will be interesting! 4. Global Elites are Relentlessly Pushing a Two-State Solution.On February 20, 2023, The United Nations Security Council formally denounced Israel for the first time in 18 years. Israel’s great crime? Building housing developments in Judea and Samaria, a region that Israel rightfully took command of during the Six-Day War in 1967. You can read more here. Two months earlier, Benjamin Netanyahu stated that “the Jewish people have an exclusive and inalienable right to all parts of the Land of Israel,” including the illegally annexed Syrian Golan Heights and “Judea and Samaria” [West Bank]. This bold and unprecedented move by the UN came after their council voted on the last day of December in 2022 to have the International Court of Justice (another organization of global elites) examine Israel's “illegal occupation.” We’ll discuss this more in a future post. The UN is the same body that refused to denounce Iran for its horrific human rights abuses after 100+ days of citizen protests after a 22-year-old woman, Mahsa Amini, took off her hijab (head scarf) and was beaten to death by Iran’s “morality police.” You can read more about this here. Tragically, the United States allowed the UN to denounce its ally Israel (on paper only, apparently) for the first time in six years. What in the world is going on? More on that in my next post. 3. Iran’s Nuclear Program Has Recently Reached Break-out Capacity.Until earlier this year, Iran’s nuclear program was the biggest open secret in the international community. Not only is Iran no longer denying it, but the Islamic Republic is also now claiming that they have “the right” to enrich uranium to 90% for the purpose of generating electricity, in defiance of U.N. sanctions. As one reporter said, “Iran is enriching uranium at levels ‘only countries making bombs are reaching’.” Read more here. If Iran is now truly a legitimate nuclear threat, this will change the dynamics in the Middle East and the world. Do you want to know the top two conditions that led to war in Israel in 2023 and why a two-state solution in Israel will NEVER work? Check out Part 4 of Is This the End of the World? Coming soon!
