UPDATED 15 October 2023: The State of Israel is on the cusp of a major multi-front war. This part of the war on Eschatology Today will be referred to as Phase III. The enemies in this war are the modern day nations and peoples cited in Psalm 83 by Asaph, Isaiah 11:14, Isaiah 17, Ezekiel 28:20-26 and the whole of Jeremiah 49.
In support of Israel in this war are the military forces of the USA, UK as well as most of the governments of the NATO allies. The LORD God has throughout history expressed His sovereign will by blessing Israel with solid allies and in these last days we can expect the same. Who is it who can say our sovereign God can or cannot do as He pleases? Scripture advises us clearly and unquestionably on this issue. In this vein as the war progresses and in comments to this SITREP questions about this will not be addressed. We will cover key events and allow the will of God to follow His chosen course because we know and have been told in Scripture the end from the beginning.

| Al-Ahli Baptist (Arab) Hospital Parking Lot, Gaza |
The above image is of the Al-Ahli Baptist (Arab) Hospital parking lot in Gaza City. Obvious to everyone (but Islamists and their allies) is that the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (Holy War) rocket that misfired did not hit the hospital and kill 200 to 300 people. The rocket impacted on the hospital parking lit and ignited the fuel tanks of several vehicles. Any and all human casualties from this misfire is the responsibility of Palestinian Islamic Jihad. Period.
It only took the HAMAS-run Palestinian Health Ministry minutes to disseminate globally blatant lies and INFOWAR disinformation (INFOrmation WARfare) which was rapidly picked up and redistributed globally by the New York Times and CNN without any due diligence in assessing the truthfulness of the terrorist media report.
Just as rapidly the PA, the governments of Egypt, Jordan and Turkey, as well as the World Health Organization (WHO) made grossly distorted statements blaming Israel. There were zero IDF or IAF activity over Gaza City at the time of the PIJ rocket barrage which resulted in this tragedy and carnage upon the hapless Gazans who had taken refuge at this hospital. This HAMAS INFOWAR gambit also led to the immediate cancellation of a war summit meeting between POTUS the terrorist PA, King Abdullah II of Jordan and other dignitaries scheduled for later today. One does not need to guess what this terrorist outrage will bring in the coming hours to the inflamed Middle East and around the world.
The anticipated and prophetic multi-front war seems assured at this point.
Once again, the expected tempo of this war may exceed the ability to note all developments in a timely manner. Put on the whole armor of God, pray always and be as patient as Job. God is in total control.
ReplyDeleteIDF ground commander have received a birds-eye view of their invasion routes and maneuver areas from heliborne platforms throughout the day today. IDF columns are poised and pushed up into forward launch points for a massive operation.
ReplyDeletefrom the outside looking in it appears there was an expectation of an immediate ground assault. Has the stall been for planning purposes or something else ?
DeleteThe expectation was for the ground operation to commence at the expiration of the 24-hour warning. Indeed limited incursions into Gaza did occur for the purposes of locating hostages, tunnels and traps. But the big ground assault has been delayed for at least 24-36 hours by HAMAS blocking the evacuation of most civilians in Gaza City as seen in drone surveillance imagery.
DeleteIsrael's war cabinet approved four goals:
ReplyDelete1.) Collapse HAMAS Government.
2.) Destroy HAMAS military capability. 3.) Eliminate terrorism from the Gaza.
4.) Maximum effort to resolve the hostage issue and protect Israel's borders and citizens.
The USS Ford CSG escort combantants will move closer to Israel to leverage their anti-missile capabilities against Hezbollah rockets. Hezbollah and Iran will fully intervene as IDF armor enters Gaza.
ReplyDeleteIntel assessment holds that Israel should execute major preemptive strikes against enemy capabilities north and northeast of Irael.
Israeli Navy Saar 6-class crusiers Oz and Magen have joined the battle attacking HAMAS dock facilities in Gaza with ship-to-shore missiles.
ReplyDeleteIDF troops are wearing gas masks into combat against HAMAS. This indicates they anticipate the terrorists in Gaza to employ biological or chemical weapons.
ReplyDeleteIDF Special Forces are in Gaza conducting their mission requirements.
ReplyDeleteIran threatens a preemptive strike upon Israel.
ReplyDeleteI remember reading that Damascus is hiding chemical weapons. Are you able to confirm this? I was wondering if this is why Damascus ends up being destroyed and so many Israelis will die. (On another note, we already are seeing peace marches supporting the Palestinians where I live in Spokane, WA.
ReplyDeleteSyria did not destroy all of its chemical weapons and has replaced the older stock that was destroyed. See Isaiah 17 for the results of the international failure in this regard.
DeleteDay 11 of War, rocket barrages continue out of Gaza.
ReplyDeleteHezbollah (Lebanon) continues ATM fire into Metulla, Israel.
Commander CENTCOM: Israel will have what it needs, including support to keep other enemies out of the war.
(A vow that cannot be kept according to prophetic Scriptures.)
Biden fly to Israel tomorrow on condition that humanitarian aid be delivered to Gaza. That aid will be commandeered by HAMAS for its benefit.
King Abdullah of Jordan says the region descending into abyss.
UNSC denies Russia resolution supporting HAMAS.
Brother and Sisters: The Scriptures do not change, ever. Eschatology Today is at the end of its 15th year of web publishing articles that discuss the prophetic events taking place in and around Israel today.
ReplyDeleteAll of the hundreds of entries use key words for the blog search engine on the upper left-hand corner of the mainpage. Please make use of it; there is no time left now for a do-over of all this material.
OpEd: The Biden Administration, despite it's pronouncements of support for Israel, is actively interfering (once again) in the IDFs prosecution of the war against HAMAS in Gaza, just as was done in the 2006 war against Hezbollah in Lebanon.
ReplyDeleteI guess now we know why the carrier strike group is there. DanH
ReplyDeleteDanH,
DeleteWhat we do know for certain is that the Ford CSG is on station to preempt large-scale Shi'a intervention from Hezbollah or the IRGC-QF. This attempt at preemptive intervention will likely fail according to Scripture. At Eschatology Today we take the Lord's prophetic Word literally.
That usurper, and poor excuse for a president, needs to stay out of isreals way and let Israel take care of business....and that goes for people on both sides democrat and republican.
ReplyDeleteI really want to see the full fulfillment of psalm 83 for 2 reasons
1) the obvious reason, I want prophecy to be fulfilled because I want to go home but the second reason
2)I want to see the nation of Israel take out all her enemies in short order. I hope I'm not wrong for wanting that.
I don't think you're wrong, but if you are, that makes at least two of us Jon.
DeleteI can smell, taste its coming... the meeting in the air for the very first time. Get teary-eyed just thinking about the first few minutes of eternity.
Maranatha!
Staying out of Israel's way is to be staying out of the LORD God's way. This is with respect to the things which Jesus Christ told us through His Olivet Discourse that "must take place." In fact, we know from Scripture that desolations are determined.
DeleteThe point here is that none of this is the Lord's doing, it is Satan's! This is completely evident in the demonic (from the get-go of circa 630 AD rise of Islam) to the present time - who but a demon-possessed human being would shoot a Jewish child in a crib point-blank; who would behead a Jewish infant, and who would cut open a pregnant mother's belly, rip out the unborn babe to stab it?
I had held my proverbial tongue about these abominations done by the terrorist for the sake of decorum here, but no longer, the truth needs be told about the ongoing satanic manifestations that came out of Gaza on 7 October, and will yet come out of Lebanon, Syria and other lands infested by the abomination called Islam. There can be no love for this barbarity, it must be crushed with righteous and extreme prejudice just as the Nazi's were crushed by force of arms.
AF1 touched down in Israel 45 minutes ago. The sooner it leaves the better; the IDF has much to do.
ReplyDeleteThe Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital was NOT hit by a misfire PIJ rocket, but its parking lot was hit. 200-300 people were not killed but dozens at worst. A photo will be posted.
ReplyDeleteThis incident shows how quickly HAMAS' disinformation and bald-faced lies (INFOrmation WARfare) are distributed globally. The Islamic world will never accept the truth, irregardless of any/all prima facie evidence to the contrary. This falsified INFOWAR data has enraged Islamists and their allies which insures that more deliberate Islamic barbarity will occur today and for days to come around the world.
Desolations are determined.
Escatology Today anticipates that upon the departure of POTUS from Israel a short period will elapse before the IDF ground campaign will execute.
ReplyDeleteThereafter war with Hezbollah will ignite in full.
At 1130 AM 18 OCT POTUS departed Israel.
DeleteBoth Israeli and US Communications Intelligence (COMINT) intercepted HAMAS-PIJ phone conversation that acknowledged PIJ responsibility for the Al-Ahli hospital explosion yesterday evening.
ReplyDeleteEgypt and Jordan threaten war on Israel if Palestinians in Gaza are evacuated to Sinai and elsewhere.
ReplyDeleteHezbollah engagement with IDF on the border, Israeli residents within 5 miles of the border under expanded evacuation order.
ReplyDeleteWeather or not the IDF launches preemptive strikes or a ground campaign in any direction, one thing is for certain: the current fighting is a continuation of the Psalm 83 prophecy, with Isaiah 11:14 and Ezekiel 28:24-26 indicating the end results of this warfare.
ReplyDeleteThe events and media reporting of today reminds me of what Jesus tried to tell the Jews but they refused to listen, not knowing the time of their visitation:
ReplyDelete"I have come in My Father’s name, and you do not receive Me; if another comes in his own name, him you will receive."
For the past hour the IDF has been severely pummeling Hezbollah targets in Lebanon.
ReplyDeleteIsrael has the right to respond to Hezbollah fire out of Lebanon, but will not be responsible for a new war erupting there.
DeleteHowever, the US will join Israel in military action against Hezbollah if Hezbollah starts the war.
In about 8 hours British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is to land in Israel.
ReplyDeleteHey Brother Sean....I'm really not sure why I can't post with my Gmail acct. I allowed all cookies on my Mac but it still won't work. Any ideas? Thanks! Brother Frank (vp9ord)
ReplyDeleteBrothrr Frank,
DeleteAfter a few days of requiring a Gmail account to comment (due to nefarious attempts to disrupt this blog) I returned it to open comments (anyone can submit a comment) with active 24/7 moderation.
How are North Korean weapons (like R7 RPGs used on October 7th) getting to HAMAS, PIJ and PRC terrorists in Gaza?
ReplyDeleteThrough Egyptian smuggling tunnels in the Sinai.
While Americans slept this morning Israel attacked and destroyed Hezbollah targets on Lebanon's border from the Mediterranean Sea to the mountain range next to the Golan. All of these targeted sites had fired anti-tank rockets into Israel on Wednesday.
ReplyDeleteThose who hope against hope that the Gaza-Israel War will not spill over into the greater Middle East are not following events closely enough.
ReplyDeleteIran has given the green light to their proxy forces (Shi'a militias) to attack US and Coalition bases/troops in Iraq and Syria (ancient Assyria).
Eschatology Today has been warning about this recently.
Yesterday IRGC-QF-led militias attacked two US Coalition bases in western and northern Iraq with armed drones. The drones were destroyed but some allied injuries did result from the attacks. These same IRGC-QF forces will soon engage in a wider battle to the west, across Syria enroute to join the battle against Israel.
Iran knows that the road to Jerusalem passes through American ("big satan") bases in Iraq and Syria before arriving at ("little satan") Israel.
In fact of the matter, forward units of IRGC-QF militias and Hezbollah have already taken up positions along side of Syrian troops on the Syrian Golan opposite Israel's Golan.
DeleteIran's Ayatollah Khamenei has said Israel will shortly be attacked from all directions: Lebanon in the north, Syria in the northeast, Gaza in the south and Yemen in the east.
Psalm 83.
IDF confirms missiles fired from Lebanon into the northern Galilee region of Israel. IDF retaliatory strikes in progress.
ReplyDeleteAt least 20 missiles fired into Israel from Lebanon. A direct hit in Kiryat Shmona injured 3 Israelis.
ReplyDeleteThree missiles were fired at Israel from Yemen. All were shot down by a US Navy surface combatant in the Red Sea.
Dozens of missiles from Gaza targeted central Israel and Tel Aviv.
It was the USS Carney (DDG-64) that shot down the Houthi missiles fired at Israel from Yemen.
DeleteThe IDF have received their operational orders (OPORD). Tick tock.
ReplyDeleteJoe,
ReplyDeleteIsrael and Iran and the US and Iran have been in a cybrr war since 2010.
Remember Stuxnet?
So... a cyber attack on Iran now would make perfect sense.
Starting to think like we're in another lull here: US pressuring Israel to resupply Gaza (hamas) (Caroline Glick has an interesting video), Cyber wars, hezbola - although testy / not all the way in. Although all the pieces are there for Psalm 83, Isaiah 17, Jeremiah 49 in quick succession.
ReplyDeleteI really believe that once these go off, we are not here.
It's because the Restrainer is still here, there's a lull.
I think it may be go time for the IDF in Gaza... Bibi spoke to two battalions of the elite Golani Brigade soldiers today in the Gaza border, and they have received OpOrders (combat objectives).
DeleteA top Hezbollah commander said yesterday, ""The response to the mistake you might make with our resistance will be resounding," Safieddine also was quoted by Reuters as saying. "Because what we have is faith, and God is stronger than you, all your battleships, and all your weapons."
ReplyDeleteEze. 28:22-24 The LORD says 3 times they shall know that that it is Him who will execute judgements upon them. Like Elijah and the false prophets of Baal.
Joshua 13:1-7. That's how I would respond to that Shi'a terrorist.
DeleteIt occurs to me that Israel's enemies have a unified plan of operations to inflict maximum casualties on Israel's population.
DeleteRocket fire causes Israel to evacuate cities in north (Kiryat Shmona, et al) to "safe areas" in central Israel and in the south (Sederot, et al) also to central Israel. Rocket fire herding of the population. Then high payload rocket barrages from Syria will rain on central Israel, which may also be bio-chem warheads.
This tactic derives from my interpretation of Isaiah 17 regarding the loss if life in Israel, gleaning of grapes, olives, the removal of the fortress from Ephraim. This results in Damascus' and Syrian government destruction in the opening verses of Isaiah 17.
Israel's government finally came to its senses and ejected Al Jazeera islamist 5th column "journalists" from Israel. The "journalists" were passing on to Israel's enemies the exact locations of IDF bases and troop assembly areas.
ReplyDeleteMany in Israel, and especially former government, military and intelligence officers, are very vocal about the complete eradication of HAMAS and other islamist terrorists in Gaza.
ReplyDeleteHowever, they miss the mark by a wide margin here. It is impossible to completely eradicate Islamic terrorist organizations without also eradicating their ideological underpinning. That underpinning is Islam itself.
The British failed at this in the 1800s; Russia failed at this in the 1980s and the US has failed at this since 9/11/01, and the State of Israel will fail at this also.
However, the LORD God will not fail.
I agree, sooner or later, now or in the 70th week, all nations will know who the true and living God is. Whether they repent and believe will be up to them.
DeleteYemen as of yesterday entered the war. In Psalm 83 they are included as Ishmaelites. In Ezekiel 38:13 they are "Sheba" (Saba). The current Houthi rule of Yemen is clearly of a very limited duration.
ReplyDeleteThe deployment of the USMC 26th MEU into the Lebanese littoral is bad news for Hezbollah. The 26th has for 30 years waited to repay Hezbollah for the destruction of the Beirut barracks and hundreds of their forebears; ditto for the French.
ReplyDeleteYesterday the Holy Spirit brought to my attention Jesus' promise "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled." Associated with that he brought to mind a colleague of mine at my last job, who was Muslim and during my work relationship with him it became clear to me that he had a great hunger and thirst for righteousness.
ReplyDeleteOur adversary is the most cunning of the beings God created. For those that grow up in an islamic culture, it is the misdirection of the innate hunger for righteousness that may be the "hook" the enemy uses to deceive many.
Justice and righteousness are the foundation of God's throne. As we wage this spiritual war, let's pray that God reveals the true source of righteousness to those that have been deceived.
Miriam,
DeleteAmen, as Israel's prophets have declared the word of God!
