Global SITREP A1-23: Zionist Israel

ZIONIST ISRAEL

UPDATED 29 December 2022: We're starting the 2023 series of SITREPs three days early as this morning in Israel the new Likud-Religious Judaism government led by Bibi Netanyahu was sworn in. 

The leftist Globalist Oligarchy is none to pleased about it. As the swearing in ceremony was underway inside the Knesset building a hodgepodge of leftist groups stormed the building, only to be forcible pushed back by Israeli security forces to a distance of at least 300 meters. A photo of the leftists found online was instructive as to what groups were present. 

There were many rainbow flags of (leftist) LGBTQ, there were solid red-colored communist flags, there was even the flag of North Korea present. But this is just a tip of the iceberg that has immediately presented itself in stark opposition to this new government in Israel. The outgoing government of Yair Lapid made it clear they will do everything in their power to stand in opposition to a decidedly Zionist government in the State of Israel. The official organizations of the world such as the WEF, the UN, the current US government and a host of others are all sabre rattling as well. However, the will of God in these last days cannot be successfully opposed by any earthly power.

Jordan's king Abdullah II announced that Jordan is prepared for conflict if the status quo of the Temple Mount becomes altered. As we know from Scripture (Isaiah 11, Ezekiel 28 and Psalm 83, among others, there will be conflict and the prophetic Israel that emerges is one of the signs we've been watching for over the past decade plus number of years. Eschatology Today made clear in the very recent Global SITREP D10-22: The Emergent Religious Israel what can be expected. But, again, this is just the beginning, which shall be documented here in the coming days for as long as we are here. Suffice it to say, we have arrived at the prophetic time we have known was sure to arrive.

30 December 2022: Even before the ongoing and rather testy transition of Israel's government ministries has been completed, the Islamic Republic of Iran has been put on notice again. But this time the "Zionist entity" is truly the Zionist-led State of Israel and it's all about resolving the threat from the Iranian Twelver clerics.

The threat is existential from the new Israeli government's perspective. This existential threat will not be tolerated to continue unresolved as Israel's very existence and national security is at risk from Iranian nuclear weapons. It will be dealt with and by all accounts it will be dealt with promptly. Once again, Jeremiah 49:34-39 is the operative eschatological focus and due attention must once again be given to this passage and its meaning at present.

Not many have made note of the fact that this prophecy is now, and has been for some time, in a relatively quiet process of active fulfillment. How many are aware that the Lord's "four winds from the four corners of heaven" have scattered the Iranian people as outcasts from their country to other nations all over the globe? This is an undeniable fact and evokes Jeremiah 49:36. 

What Iranian citizen would not opt to flee the incredible persecution and outright genocide of the Twelver regime? So flee the country the Iranian citizens have; their numbers increase with each passing month in order to escape from regime's systematic rape, torture, summary executions and in many cases subsistence level living conditions. This has occurred most recently as Iran's currency, known as the Rial, has collapsed by a further one-third of its value since October. In exchange for one American dollar you will receive 430,000 Rial today. Tomorrow, probably not. Economic sanctions in effect for the past five years (2018-2022) are decimating Iran with no hope of relief as the 2015 JCPOA and the attempt to resuscitate it has ended in complete failure. It is dead, buried.

So, we should not doubt that a good portion of the IDF will soon be tasked to execute strikes on the nuclear elements of the Twelver regime and to the extent that Iran's vaunted missile forces will no longer have a capacity to raze Tel Aviv as the Ayatollah's IRGC recently claimed. In 2023 Iran's bleak future will become even more pronounced; its military will be largely neutered.

03 January 2023:  A brief recap of today's news. Itamar Ben-Gvir ascended the Temple Mount this morning. His wife, Ayala, followed suit a short time later. The Islamic world went ballistic with most referring to the event as an "invasion of the Al-Aqsa mosque. The loudest were the terror organization of Gaza, the PA in Judea and Samaria, the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, the UAE, Egypt and, not surprisingly, the Biden Administration as well as the US State Department. The UAE, representing a group of Islamic nations has made an appeal to the United Nation to take up the issue of the Temple Mount.

The opposition in Israel led by former-PM Yair Lapid also denounced Ben-Gvir's visit to Temple Mount. Lapid also interfered today in Israel's foreign relations with Turkey by making a phone call to that nations foreign minister.

As noted in comments section there was a massive IAF missile strike on Damascus International Airport on Sunday night. The strike targeted Hezbollah and other Iranian proxy forces there and did significant damage plus fatalities. An IRGC officer was assassinated outside of his home in Tehran, Iran. 

Updates as development warrant.

  2. Netanyahu on the priorities of the new government.

    "First of all, to block Iran. This is an existential question. First of all, we will see to our existence and security. Second, to restore the security and governance within the State of Israel. Third, to deal with the cost of living and the housing problem. Fourth, and I believe that this is within reach, to dramatically expand the circle of peace."

    In the continuation we'll unpack Netanyahu's number one priority.

    The new government in Israel has not yet fully transitioned into office, yet the "Palestinian Authority" is preemptively urging the international community to "reject any dealings with a government committed to carrying out international crimes."

  7. My reasoning on this is all the prophecies concerning the messiah's rule and reign on earth have not been fulfilled. Revelation 20:20 states " I,Jesus am coming quickly..." , these are His last words to the church and world and will be fulfilled and fulfill the rest of God's promises.

    1. Jmoll,
      Yes, these are His words spoken to John on Patmos from His eternal transfigured being, outside of time as we understand time; where time has no earthly relevance, i.e.: where 1,000 years is as a day. Jesus' coming quickly is wrt to the eternal state. Good point!

  8. 1 “Father forgive them, for they don't know what they are doing” (Luke 23.34).
    In this utterance, we see the purpose of Jesus. A terrible cruelty and injustice is being done to him, but he is more concerned for the souls of those doing it than he is for his own body.

    His suffering and bloodshed were making forgiveness of sins possible for the world. It was to fulfill this compassionate purpose that he submitted himself to the cruel death. As he said on his encounter with Zacchaeus, "the Son of Man has come to seek and to save the lost" (Luke 19:9-10). That was his purpose.

    2 “Today you shall be with me in Paradise” (Luke 23:43).
    In this utterance, we see the hope of Jesus. He believed in a better place beyond this world, not only for himself but also for sinners who believed in him and his righteousness.

    The place that Jesus called “Paradise” may not be heaven itself, but it is certainly a safe place along the way. The sure hope of the righteous Lord, and of those made righteous by him, is that death does not separate the righteous from God (Romans 8:37-39).

    3 “Behold your son! Behold your mother!” (John 19:26,27).
    In this utterance we see the love of Jesus. In his love for the whole world, he did not forget his special love for his mother and the disciple into whose care he gave her.

    As John himself tells us, "Jesus, knowing that his hour had come to depart out of this world to the Father, having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end" (John 13:1). We can have confidence in his demonstrated love, and say with Paul, "He loved me, and gave himself for me" (Galatians 2:20).

    Utterances about himself
    4 “My God! My God! Why have you forsaken me?” (Matthew 27:46).
    In this utterance we see the faith of Jesus. Many teach that Jesus felt abandoned by God, and some even say that he was. However, I think we quite misunderstand this utterance if we think it expresses despair.

    It is a direct quote from the beginning of the 22nd Psalm. This is a Messianic psalm. The religious leaders quoted this psalm against Jesus: "Let God rescue him if he delights in him" (Psalms 22:7-8, Matthew 27:41-43).

    The Psalm contradicts the idea that God turned away from Jesus: "For God has not despised or abhorred the affliction of the afflicted, nor has he hidden his face from him, but when he cried to him for help, God heard" (Psalms 22:24).

    Although uttering only the anguished first words of the Psalm, Jesus was drawing upon the spirit of the whole Psalm: "In you our fathers trusted; they trusted and you delivered them; to you they cried out and were delivered; in you they trusted and were not disappointed" (Psalms 22:4-5).

    5 “I am thirsty” (John 19:28).
    In this utterance we see the suffering of Jesus. If we think that the Son of God was perhaps exercising some power by which he could avoid enduring the pain, we know we are mistaken.

    Jesus complains of feeling one of the agonies of crucifixion —a terrible thirst: "My strength is dried up like a broken clay pot, and my tongue sticks to my jaws" (Psalms 22:15).

    It is part of the Christian belief that we have our "salvation through sufferings" which Jesus endured to bring many sons to glory (Hebrews 2:10).

    6 “It is finished!” (John 19:30).
    In this utterance we see the satisfaction of Jesus. The question of what Jesus meant by "it" is a cause for much discussion. It is natural to take it that he meant the ordeal of crucifixion was finished.

    It is also natural to suppose he meant his whole journey through earthly life, from birth to death, was finished. What we do know for certain, is that Jesus is both "the author and finisher of our faith" (Hebrews 12:2), and what he started he saw through to the very end.

    7 “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit” (Luke 23:46).
    In this utterance we see the submission of Jesus. Jesus "humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross" (Philippians 2:8).
    God Bless you Sean for all you do for us.

  9. Psalm 22: “My God, My God, why have you forsaken me.”…was a reference to direct His followers to this psalm which in the end speaks of what Jesus accomplished then and forever.

    1. David ,
      David's Psalm 22 is without question a prophecy about the crucifixion.

      And if I'm not mistaken the last two verses (30-31) refer to the 144,000 of all Israel during the 70th Week of Years, it reads like a summary of their global ministry saving souls preaching Christ.

      "A posterity shall serve Him.
      It will be recounted of the Lord to the next generation,
      They will come and declare His righteousness to a people who will be born,
      That He has done this.

    1. Act 1:7-8 occured 10 days prior to Pentecost as 40 days had elapsed from Jesus' being taken up (analambano) and His subsequent appearings. That's the 50 days in total.
      I believe this instruction of not knowing times and seasons was specific to the reconstitued 12 apostles (adding Matthias by lot), whereas the Bride of Christ has been commanded by our Loed to know them and "Watch therefore!"

  14. All good responses.

    Here's mine.

    Luke 23:28-31
    But Jesus, turning to them, said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for Me, but weep for yourselves and for your children. For indeed the days are coming in which they will say, ‘Blessed are the barren, wombs that never bore, and breasts which never nursed!’  Then they will begin ‘to say to the mountains, “Fall on us!” and to the hills, “Cover us!” ’ For if they do these things in the green wood, what will be done in the dry?

    1. This prophetic statement actually speaks volumes about circumstances of the 70th Week of years and is repeated by Jesus once more to John on Patmos. A lot to unpack in this!

    2. Sean, I can see by your response you were refering to while Jesus was on earth. Your above reference which refers to the "dry" wood of Israel is certainly worth weeping over. The Israel of today is far from what God has in store for her. Thankfully, God remains faithful to His word. The remnant will enter into the thousand year reign of Christ as all converts from the 144,000 will. I am glad there are many Jewish Christians today that will be caught up prior to the final judgements of God that take place in the tribulation period.

    3. Jmoll,

      Again, you understand the bottom line! Jesus also said the same prophecy a tad earlier as recorded in Luke 19:41-44.

      But now, as the theme of the current SITREPs are pointing out, a new Israel is rising before the eyes of the Bride of Christ, a truly religious Israel, one which will soon return to sacrifice and oblation, to purification in ashes of a red heifer; to Temple worship and to having the Lord pour out His Spirit on all Israel.

      Except for a very few like you, not many who come here seem to grasp the gravity of where we are, and where most of us will soon be.

    4. Yes he did!

      Tom Nissani, the director of "Beyadenu - For the Temple Mount," has congratulated the National Security Minister for his ascent to the Temple Mount this morning.

      "Congratulations to Minister Ben-Gvir who ascended and did not submit to the threats and fear of Hamas," Nissani said. "Meanwhile, the sun continues to rise and the Middle East isn't on fire. And even if someone does try to set things on fire, I rely on the IDF and Israel Police to remove the threat. The time has come for us to be a free people in our own land."

      The condemnations from Egypt, Jordan, HAMAS and the Biden Administration are prolific to say the least. Terrorists claim Ben-Gvir "invaded the Al-Aqsa mosque." They all want a fire to erupt.

    Everyone has a right to go to the Temple Mount, whether he is a Muslim or a Christian - or a Jew.
