| IAF F-35I Adir |
UPDATED 2 July 2019: We discussed this briefly about a year ago as it was just a rumor. But now that a Kuwaiti newspaper has spilled the beans on Ayatollah Khamenei's firing of his air defense (AD) chief the rumor aspect has evaporated. The Iranian AD was suddenly canned because he had kept quiet about the fact that Israeli F-35I 'Adir' aircraft flew completely, stealthily, undetected throughout Iran during March of 2018. Undetected even by Iran's Russian-made S-300 SAMs or its own Bavar-373 imitation S-300 SAM systems. These systems were overcome by the F-35I Adir's stealth characteristics.
The IAF F-35I "Mighty" aircraft flew a detailed reconnaissance mission over Iranian military sites at Bandar Abbas, Shiraz, Isfahan, Karaj, and even loops around the capital Tehran. The Ayatoallah went ballistic because the Israeli Air Force was above his head and he knew nothing about it. Zip, nada, nothing. We can imagine the Russians might also be a tad miffed too.
Here's a timeline to review.
In December 2016 the first two F-35I Adir's land in Israel.
In December 2017, and now with a grand total of just five aircraft in Israel, the Adir is declared to have its Initial Operational Capability, or IOC, meaning it can fly combat missions. And it did.
March 2018, the Israeli Air Force is flying a reconnaissance mission with its F-35I's completely undetected over virtually all of Iran's most sensitive military bases in western Iran (i.e. ancient Elam too). These sites included all of Iran's AD sites, nuclear sites as well as Iran's top secret underground missile bases.
So, while Iran can shoot down slow, unstealthy and very large UAVs like the US Navy's BAMS-D, the country is now proven to be very vulnerable to US and Israeli F-35 Lightning II, not to mention the US squadron of stealthy F-22 Raptor's, which brings the extra added benefit of enhancing the lethality and survivability of the Lincoln CSG's embarked F/A-18 SuperHornets and Growlers.
Indeed, as POTUS Trump said just yesterday, Iran is playing with fire. We might even bestow the name "Jeremiah's Fire" to the soon to transpire event that prophet foretold so long ago.
11 July 2019: About the international coalition in the Eschatology Today interpretation of Jeremiah 49:34-39, we have this just released USCENTCOM statement.
July 11, 2019 — "We are aware of the reports of Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corp Navy's FAC/FIAC harassment and attempts to interfere with the passage of the UK-flagged merchant vessel British Heritage today near the Strait of Hormuz. We refer you the UK Ministry of Defense for further information on this.
Threats to international freedom of navigation require an international solution. The world economy depends on the free flow of commerce, and it is incumbent on all nations to protect and preserve this lynchpin of global prosperity."

Sean, and Company,
ReplyDeleteI got so excited reading your newest addition to current Prophecy updates. Even now I am struggling to get this all said correctly. Oh, WOWSY I love those F-35I's and the stealthiness of them is the most exciting part of it all. Those reports keep bringing into my old memories the Bible talking of such 'stealth' but I always applied it to the angels of God's Heaven. I know they are Stealthy too but just realizing that all things mighty and good still are in the hands of the Almighty God that we all love and are called by Him. WOW!
And to Moin's comment I would love to inject this comment: Never forget that God Almighty has a VAST SUPPLY of strategic weapons and not everything is going to come just from manmade materials and manufacturing. Israel isn't going to be the one dragging the USA into this ME cleansing that HIS WORD promises will come. Time to do some deep studying on the ancient bible history of Cyrus The Great and how he affected the region we now are very well acquainted with. Chaldean/Elam era and who populated it to a very great extent.

Sean,
ReplyDeleteJust received this regarding Iran and 4.7 earthquake today. I copied the report but lost the link.
Earthquake in SOUTHEASTERN IRAN
Magnitude ML 4.7

Date time 2019-07-03 12:02:08.1 UTC
Locatio n 29.88 N ; 60.71 E
Depth 13 km
GG5/SHALOM
This Sunday, July 7th, will mark a turning point as that is the day Iran will revert its entire nuclear posture to pre-JCPOA status.
ReplyDeleteThis is the Iranian Twelver regime's attempt to break-out and build their nuclear weapon. Neither the US or Israel will tolerate it.
NOTES:
1.) Israel proved one year they can fly their F-35I squadrons into Iran undetected to take care of the business at hand.
2.) The US has both the F-35 and F-22 in theater right now.
3.) And the C2 network controlling Iran's ballistic missiles ("bow") was unstrung two weeks ago tomorrow.
Will July 2019 be hotter than normal?
I have told many people that we have a sort of symbiotic relationship with Israel when it comes to military equipment we sell them in that the Israelis workout some or all of the bugs our engineers were not able to figure out and then share the fix with us so both of us come out to the good. Never knew there were so many people that were new haters till I started reading comments on other websites and it does not matter what the article is about anymore there will be some half wit there making a derogatory comment about the Jewish people. I have told many people that when all the dust settles in the middle east Israel will be the last man standing due only to the fact they have a protector that neither sleeps or slumber and has never said or will have to say I didn't see that coming.
Deletewatso911,
DeleteIt's those haters, half-wits and plain ol' unbelievers posting comments on other sites that are the primary reason that comment moderation is so stridently adhered to here.
July 2019 the month that the prophetic flood started?
ReplyDeletePossibly... we'll have to see, and that means events taking place are in precise alignment with the Lord's prophetic word given to the prophets, such as Asaph, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel and Daniel, just to name a handful.
ReplyDeleteSean,
ReplyDeleteI so agree with watso911's comment and as much as I love contesting the very ones he is speaking of that congregate on Tweety, Facebook and in a whole lot of my email JUNK MAIL, I still take the battle to them as deliticately as possible. Well, in some instances it requires a king size (thinging Goliath) ball bat to fracture their gross delusions. I refuse to attend to the discussions on most written articles unless I just need something to have a big shout to the Wondrous Love, Mercy& Grace of Abba Father. Most generally using that name brings back a question of what is "Abba Father" and the hook is set deep into the jaw of the questioners. Works like a charm.
By the way, there is weakness in the monitoring process that I spoke about earlier last week. Signed in, made comment in proper space and it posted almost immediately. Just wanted to forewarn!

AND ISRAEL IS FOREVER!!!!
GG5,
ReplyDeleteI want to reiterate the Lord's word that Franklin Graham just sent around the world...
“You also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him." (Luke 12:40)
Given the events which continue and gather intensity and frequency in each occurence, as He specified they would, only those destined to be left behind when the door is shut would fail to take notice at this time. (Matthew 25) Oil your lamps!
Yes, I set 'comments' for immediate posting just to test the system. We're good.
Sean,
ReplyDeleteI am so excited to be leaving here I want to do everything ALL AT THE VERY SAME TIME! Walk, run, swim, talk, listen, sing, pray, and be quiet! Everything is happening at the same time, and even Nature is turned upside down due to it!
I have very physically hurt so bad for the last 2 years that I dare not say so but I know no matter what comes from this point on "GREATER IS HE WHO IS IN ME THAN he who is in the world"!!!!!! Until He who holds back Satan is taken out of this worlds atmosphere, EACH and everyone of us are assigned to fight the very Strong Anointed Good Fight of Faith in God's Holy Word and stand against the already forces of evil!
GOD did not leave any of us Weaklings in any manner what so ever! Now is the time to make sure we are strong in THE LORD & THE POWER OF HIS MIGHT!"
GG5/SHALOM,SHALOM,SHALOM
And we're closer than ever to that very hour!
ReplyDeleteReiterating, today is Sunday, July 7th, and it marks a turning point as Iran has reverted its entire nuclear posture to a pre-JCPOA status. In fact, they will now attempt to exceed what their nuclear status was in 2015.
ReplyDeleteThe Iranian Twelver regime is attempting to break-out and build their nuclear weapon. Neither the US or Israel will tolerate it.
Today is a benchmark date.
ReplyDeleteWhat’s the status on the use of their arrow launching capabilities since the cyber attack a week or so ago? Do the Iranians understand what US Cent.com did and is it still working?
Rhonda,
DeleteHas Iran launched any of their ballistic missiles since the USCYBERCOM action was taken 19 days ago? Any media reporting?
More importantly, is there any hint in Bible prophecy about a city (or cities) in Israel being destroyed or nuked by Parac (Persia) or Elam?
Is the Lord's declaration to Jeremiah (49:34-39) preemptive?
Is there any hint this set of propetic action ate in response to something done against Israel?
These are the kinds of questions my SITREPs are intended to provoke in the minds of those who read Eschatology Today.
What do you think?
Sean,
ReplyDelete"Jeremiah's Fire" INDEED! I love it and very apropos! I happen to feel really attuned to Jeremiah and have from about day one after I was saved back in 1964. When I first began bible study with some wonderful friends in Missouri, where I lived and was saved, a couple who moved to our town, came from the Chicago area and resided in Glen Ellyn, outside of Chicago. Peter & Jean Zandstra were recent bible students from Wheaten University and his knowledge of Jeremiah was outstanding. They lit a fire under me that has never subsided and yet everyday there are more discoveries within His pages that relit that fire of all those decades ago. I mention this because discovering your site has totally put much more substantial firewood on that fire until the need to shout it out 'GO INTO ALL OF THE WORLD PREACH THE TRUE WORD OF GOD & MAKE DISCIPLES OF ALL!'
This is how I envision Eschatology Today from here on out and now I feel relief from my worry that something had trespassed your security on here. Thank you for letting me know. So, everyone one of my unsaved friends have been given this blog page's URL so when it becomes very clear that something gigantic has happened to all of those who are Called by HIS NAME are gone, they can come here until the powers that be close it all down. They will you know but then, God is greater than Google ALL OF THE TIME and HE might decide otherwise.
Keep on keeping on and remember, "The Name of the Lord is a strong tower and they that run into it are Saved!"

Haleluja GG5 gets it!
DeleteEschatology Today is to inform, as the main page banner declares, but also to inspire prayerful thoughts and inquiring.
If a fire has not been lit under each and every Believer reading here, then I'm not completing the mission of this blog.
His will be done.
War rhetoric coming out of Iran has reached epic levels. Never saw a nation literally begging for war with the US as Iran is.
ReplyDeleteAs the update indicates, the IRGC attempted to seize a UK merchant vessel today. Details follow.
ReplyDeleteThe UK merchant vessel, British Heritage was being tracked by the Iranians. The IRGC fast boats deployed from their base at Abu Musa last Saturday to prepare an ambush and seizure.
Meanwhile, HMS Montrose, (F236) a UK frigate, began escorting the UK merchant vessel.
When the IRGC fast boats approached the British Heritage they were at first given verbal warnings by HMS Montrose to stay clear.
When the IRGC boats continued to close the British frigate trained its 4.5" main gun and twin 30mm guns on the Iranians.
Message received and the IRGC boats made a hasty retreat.
Sean,
ReplyDeleteI am way late in getting connected today and for that reason, I hope you have received The Times of Israel's flash news report. *I know you have* ! Just to give everyone the gist of what it said "TV: IAEA finds traces of radioactive material at Iran site flagged by Netanyahu". For sure the Iranians are definitely seeking something that they think will cause a major war scene to erupt but they might get the surprise of all Maghi' in the process.
Another thing, I didn't just start sharing your URL with my family and friends. They are located all over this world (we are a very friendly bunch) and those who still cling stubbornly to their "Once dead nothing else is going to happen to them, PERIOD!" No lake of fire, no hot tamales every hour of everyday, no thirst for anything just Dead! I have no idea who OR what hit them so squarely in the head that it busted their little gray matters to smithereens but it did. Anyway, I enjoyed your delight and also, your surprise that I 'got it". I did and have for a very long time.
GG5/SHALOM,SHALOM,SHALOM
GG5,
DeleteYes indeed I saw the ToI article confirming the UN IAEA has corroborated PM Netanyahu's identification of the nuclear archive and nuclear warehouse (300 tons!) in downtown Tehran.
The IAEA corroboration is the proverbial 'smoking gun' of Iran's londstanding nuclear weapons (i.e. WMD) program.
Iran is being cornered, boxed in by the "four winds of heaven." Expect this to develop rapidly now.
Oh, by the way, the rapid development now to occur is 100% due to the fact that the Islamic Republic of Iran was caught red-handed in violation of the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).
DeleteSean,
ReplyDeleteME TOO! In fact, I thought they were going down way back when the whole agreement was cancelled by POTUS but now I understand the reasons, or I might be thinking along those lines. At my age, I have to catch each thought as it appears or it just evaporates like so much hot air! Pun intended!
One thing I do keep locked away in my 'memory bank vault' is a nudge from 2007. If this is way off base please tell me but I get getting the nudge that Iran's powerful prince over them will very soon be eliminated by the Supreme Michael & Company at which time the whole argument of their nuclear capacity will be forever removed. That is only a part of the "Nudge" but it is what I can share now. That whole chapter of Jeremiah 49 just will not EVER stop coming to mind and at the oddest of times and seasons. I mentioned it during a heated debate at Joel E. Rosenberg's blog at that time and only one male commentator came to my rescue. Something about the Ezekiel Option that is actually a very real ideal to Israel's leadership. Not ever to be ignored but at the time of the disagreement I mentioned, Israel's prime minister was a crook. Can't remember his name but he was proven to be a criminal in many areas of government.

Just in case anyone's wondering, US and Israeli stealth fighters (Raptor, Lightning II/Adir) have little to worry about from S-300 or S-400 SAMs in Syria or Iran no matter who the operators are or how well they are trained.
ReplyDeleteIt boils down to a matter of physics and electromagnetic wavelengths which makes our small stealth fighter aircraft pretty much impervious. And when it comes to stealth bombers, like the B2 Spirit and new B-21 Raider, well they're downright invisible to these AD systems.
Thank you, Sean, for keeping us posted. Re: S-300 and S-400 SAMs in Syria...that is VERY good to know! I was concerned about that. Godspeed.
ReplyDelete~Lori
Sean,
ReplyDeleteLike a thief in the night! Ah yes and the magnitude of our gratitude to God Almighty for eradicating the unknown numbers of the hidden vessels of dishonor that were facing POTUS from Nov. 6th, 2016 until very recently. I have felt from the candidates of 2008 first announcement, that the USA was approaching a very dangerous and concealed enemy the likes of which no man has know before. Now add one more very telling detail to what I am saying and you will get the picture of my deep anxiousness. I was, by birth, born into a very hard working and dedicated family who were strong Democrats from before the days of Hubert Hoover.
I have not been surprised by the rottenness that has turned our nation into the present battle ground but we are never to allow the enemy who is the mastermind of this present danger any advantage. "The weapons of our warfare are not carnal but are mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds!! 2 Corinthians 10: 1 thru 7 is a must read for our edification.
GG5/SHALOM BROTHERS AND SISTERS
If this thing gets started then those S-300/400 systems will be the first thing deracinated and Russia's market will dry up like Iran's water sources. Unless they reduce the prices drastically :)
ReplyDeleteIt's going to be super interesting!
ReplyDeleteIsrael has received another pair of F-35I Adir's... they we're escorted from the US most of the way to Israel (and kept fueled up) by a KC-10A from JB-MDL, NJ. The IAF becomes stronger each day.
ReplyDeleteThe USMC 11th MEU, embarked on the USS Boxer, brought down an IRGC drone in the Strait of Hormuz today. The Marines used EM jamming the down the drone after it had failed to alter course and approached to close to the ship.
ReplyDeleteSean,
ReplyDeleteWas so proud that they didn't delay it too long and the hit was a total wipe out of the drone. Heard that there were 2000 troops onboard the USS Boxer and at first I thought it was a little too much and then saw the photo of the vessel and all fear evaporated quickly. Go USA and may God Almighty be your Highest Commander.
