| The Theater of Prophetic War |
UPDATED 30 May 2024: Eschatology Today may be the first to note that the current war launched against Israel by the Islamic jihadists of HAMAS in Gaza on October 7, 2023, and then joined by the Islamic jihadists in Lebanon, Iraq, Iran and Yemen has fully transitioned from a war of localized tactical engagements to a war of theater-wide strategic engagements. This transition brings us to the doorstep of the over-arching prophetic scenario discussed here for more than the past decade. The deployment and use of strategic strike weapons such as 1,000 miles plus drones, ballistic missiles and cruise missiles is the defining character of the strategic change to this war. As such great and fearful changes lie ahead as detailed by the inspired prophets of ancient Israel.
Marana'tha!
Several NATO allies have given Ukraine permission to use their supplied long-range weapons to strike military targets inside Russia.
ReplyDeleteOnly the US limits these strikes to the border region opposite to Kharkiv, Ukraine where Russia is attempting to open a new eastern front.
There is a growing consensus in Israel that the war against "Palestinian" jihadism will have to include Judea and Samaria. To a lesser degree this war has been in-progress for a few months now and it has escalated in recent weeks.
ReplyDeleteWe've discussed this before under the doctrine of "Israel Victory," but now even Cabinet Ministers are speaking about it openly. No surprise, it's a core item in Bible prophecy prior to Ezekiel 38/39.
Hezbollah attacked northern Israel with a barrage of more than 40 rockets on Friday evening, some as deep as Acre. Escalation.
ReplyDeleteThe IDF is withdrawing its troops from Judea and Samaria, obviously they're going to be needed elsewhere and that explains why.
ReplyDeleteTo fill the security vacuum created by the troop withdrawal the civil population across Judea and Samaria will be armed with combat rifles and other weapons they'll need for their security.
Prophecy fulfillment straight ahead.
Not only is prophecy being fulfilled with the Psalm 83 nations, but have you noticed more and more nations condemning Israel, and anti-isreal rhetoric on the rise? I have personal friends who claim to be Christian now starting to side with "Palestine" I'm beginning to think it's a spiritual, demonic issue.
ReplyDeleteIt’s been that way ever since lucifer rebelled
DeleteJon,
DeleteFor reasons the LORD knows, "love of many will grow cold." We all know what this means. IMHO, these are either false brethren or their ears are being tickled by deceiving spirits. So, yes, it's a deception issue.
I believe that those baptized in the Spirit are immune from this type of deception.
According to the statement of the PMO, Israel's conditions for ending the war have not changed.
ReplyDelete1.) The destruction of Hamas military and governing capabilities.
2.) The release of all hostages.
3.) The ensuring that Gaza no longer poses a threat to Israel.
Hezbollah continued escalation of the warfare on Saturday with the launching of two Burkan bunker-buster missiles at an IDF base in Kiryat Shmona. Infrastructure damage by one missile, the other missile was inert. Hezbollah also sent a rocket with a 2000 lb payload into Israel, no damage to infrastructure or casualty reported. Tick-tock, tick-tock.
ReplyDeleteGiven the exchange of fire that has occurred today on the northern front it would be fair to say full-scale war has erupted.
ReplyDeleteHezbollah rocket fire this past weekend has destroyed more than 2,500 acres of farmland in northern Israel.
ReplyDeleteThe only thing missing from the northern front is an IDF ground invasion to push Hezbollah away from the border.
The war in Gaza and IDF's Rafah operation is the bottom line reason for the resignation of Egypt's government this weekend and President El-Sisi's call for the formation of a new government. Egypt is destabilized.
Minister Bezalel Smotrich has given an insiders snapshot of what's coming in the northern front.
ReplyDelete"The situation in the north is deteriorating, we must move the security strip from within Israeli territory in the Galilee to southern Lebanon, including a ground invasion, the occupation of the territory, and the expulsion of the Hezbollah terrorists and hundreds of thousands of Lebanese who hide among them beyond the Litani River, in combination with a deadly attack on all the infrastructure in Lebanon, the destruction of the Hezbollah centers of gravity and a severe blow to the capital of terror in Beirut. We must create a situation in which Lebanon will be busy for the next twenty years in efforts to rebuild what is left of it after the blow we will deal it, and not in leading terror against the State of Israel."
My assessment:
ReplyDeleteThe IDF announcement today that Chaim Peri, 79, Amiram Cooper, 84, Yoram Metzger, 80, and Nadav Popplewell, 51 were murdered four months ago by HAMAS while being held captive (a war crime) is THE antidote to the US, EU, G7 leftist gambit of forcing a cessation of the war upon Israel. The timing of this announcement was perfect and an approprite response to the InfoWar being waged against Israel. Bravo Zulu to the IDF.
This is late, but Bravo Zulu, indeed! The very best news I’ve heard in a very long time. Thanks, Brother. Shelleyb
DeleteReports in MidEast this morning claim Israel may move into Lebanon against Hezbollah, even as far as Beirut, sometime next week.
ReplyDeleteThe incendiary munitions being fired into northern Israel have become a major issue. The political left calling the Netanyahu government weak, and the political right calling for action so that Lebanon burns back to the stone age.
DeletePM Netanyahu is being assailed from all sides, including his US allies who deliberately put out word he'd leave Israel to address Congress over the Shavuot holiday.
Bro. Sean; I have noted that the islamists have frequently referred to this as 'fire jihad' or variations of same. Certainly an act of warfare. Bro. Steve.
DeleteBro. Sean; Leaks notwithstanding, and in light of Daniel 12:1, Bibi can (fortunately) travel as needed. Michael can and will take care of business - e.g. Josh 13:6 incoming hot.
DeleteIsrael's enemies have not taken the new 'Israel Victory' ('I-V') doctrine seriously enough IMO; as to what it actually means in practice. Case in point, only passing note regarding the various flag planting ceremonies of IDF soldiers at strategic locations inside Gaza over the past months. It is the sort of thing you do when you lay claim to conquered territory. I don't recall this happening during Pillar of Cloud or Cast Lead (although I may be mistaken in this regard?).
They (Israel's adversaries) are about to experience the longer-term ramifications of 'I-V' (along with the terror of facing an angelic army).
Bro. Steve.
Bro. Steve,
DeleteWhich makes the Biden Administration's positions and statements those of a diametrically opposed enemy vice those of a close ally.
FYI... Yesterday Ukraine launched U.S.-made HIMARS MLRS into Russia destroying an S-300/400 missile battery and associated electronics vehicles sited near Belgorod, Russia.
ReplyDeleteStanding by to hear of the Israeli War Cabinet's decision(s) from their meeting. (I expect a thumbed nose at Biden's insane demands and falsehoods). This nonsense has got to stop.
ReplyDeleteIt's been mentioned in Israeli media - DM Gantz says Hezbollah will be dealt with before the end of summer. Also, the UK has forewarned Beirut of imminent action.
ReplyDeleteThe amount if pressure Israel has to endure from other countries while trying to protect their own people is truly mind numbing.
DeleteI pray God's will be done and Israel's fortitude be strengthened.
Today is Jerusalem Day. Thus far hundreds of Jews have ascended the Temple Mount.
ReplyDeleteIn the past I noted that nowhere in Ezekiel 38/39 does the prophet specifically mention Jerusalem. This is a fact.
ReplyDeleteHowever, at the start of the prophecy concerning the coming Temple (Ch.40:1 NKJV) the prophet starts off being very specific on when these visions from God occurred; he refers to Jerusalem only as "the city."
Clearly this opening narrative is after the destruction of the Gog of Magog armies and Ezekiel 39:29.
Verses 2-4 give one chills, and in verse 5 the matter of fact declaration is "Now there was a wall around the outside of the temple." This wall is, at the minimum, almost 11 feet high and 11 feet thick. The temple is standing inside of tis wall.
These are specific, highly detailed instructions for this generation of Israel to build this temple after Ezekiel 38/39.
Ezekiel 47:13-21 describes Israel's borders at that time.
Bro. Sean; Thanks for this insight. After reading the passage a couple of times, I looked at several maps drawn based on Ez 47:13-21. In the current environment, it is very easy to see those literal borders eventuating out of the impending conflict. Were non-conventional weaponry to become involved - via some course of events - this end result could eventuate with surprising speed. Bro Steve.
DeleteBro. Steve,
DeleteAs have I several times over the last decade looked at the many maps various people have created. They all have a core Israel as we know it with appendages differing here and there.
I'll publish the one map I've located which (IMHO) most accurately reflects what the prophetic Scriptures say. Adding it to this SITREP for reference.
Can you please send a link to where that graphic is from? I'd like to read the narrative associated with it. I have never seen that map before. Very interesting. Thank you.
DeleteGood one!! Be good to source a version with enough resolution, so that the 'fine print' is legible.
DeleteLooking at the map in total, the toughest campaign would appear to be the coastal regions north to Tripoli or thereabouts. That is where God promises to personally take charge of matters.
Although obviously of peripheral import, the map scale is interesting. Bro. Steve
Bro Sean -
DeleteDo we know if the red heifer sacrifice has taken place? This seemed almost imminent as Passover approached, but I've not seen anything since news of three heifers arriving in Israel several months ago.
Blessings,
Chris
Chris,
DeleteTo the best of my knowledge there has not been a red heifer sacrifice this year. I also know that the religious authorities are keeping a tight lid the entire subject. I'll inquire and see if there's new news.
What jumps out immediately is that tomorrow, June 7, 2024 is the 57th anniversary of the day which marked a key turning point in Israel's history.
DeleteJune 7, 1967 was the day Israel regained the Temple Mount in a military conquest.
This is the most recent info I could find. Good video.
Deletehttps://youtu.be/VkP7V1rrLDg?feature=shared
That video was the best summary about the red heifer I've seen. Thanks for sharing! Keeping the information guarded makes a lot of sense. I would expect the sacrifice to take place without the outside world knowing until well after. Fascinating to watch this unfold before our eyes.
DeleteChris
It's highly educational and very instructive to those who've been deceived by all of the charlatan Parah Adumah videos out there.
DeleteI would advise folks to review the events of the 1967 Six Day War, in particular the military action in and around Jerusalem and it's Old City.
ReplyDeleteThe IDF, led by Moshe Dayan, was reticent to attack here, fearing to cause damage to the structures on the Temple Mount. There's a lesson here to be learned about how coming events will transpire.
The Lord took me on a journey last night to teach something.
DeleteIf one reads the history of the 1948 war, and the 1967 war and the 1973 war, one will realize that Israel was regathered into the land by God, exactly as He promised, and Israel had spilled their youths blood in each war, over and over again, to recapture the very same cities, town and villages that had been conquered or captured in the previous war!
All this has occurred repeatedly in well less than 100 years. In fact, these wars occurred over a period of less than 30 years - 1947 -1974. And total possession of the land is still not complete, as Ezekiel 28:24-26 makes clear that the unsubdued enemies have been like a prickly bush.
Now, segue back to Genesis 15:13-16.
Then He said to Abram: “Know certainly that your descendants will be strangers in a land that is not theirs, and will serve them, and they will afflict them four hundred years. And also the nation whom they serve I will judge; afterward they shall come out with great possessions. Now as for you, you shall go to your fathers in peace; you shall be buried at a good old age. But in the fourth generation they shall return here, for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet complete.”
400 years. 4 generations.
That 4th Generation made the Exodus, and then were wandering in the wilderness for 40 more years.
Is this generation, the one whom the Lord Jesus Christ spoke of (Olivet Discourse) as not passing away before all that He prophesied being fulfilled, a generation of 100 years?
We are SO close!!!
This certainly confirms that ours is the generation, since the definition of the generation is given by God himself.
DeleteGreat job!
Psalm 90 seems to define our lifespan as between 70 and 80 years (see especially verse 10).
DeleteBrian from Florida
Indeed it does.
DeleteBut this is what was made clear last night. Psalm 90 defines an individual lifespan as 70 years and 80 years if by strength.
So, if the lifespan began in 1948 the 80th year occurs in 2028; there's no room for the 70th Week of Years in just the next four years. If it began in 1967 the 80th year would be 2047, or 2040 minus the 70th Week of years. That's 16 more years!
In Jesus Olivet Discourse He spoke to a generation.
In a generation some individuals die young, some in middle-age and others at an old age, yet it is still just one generation.
In this last generation, as defined by Genesis 15:13-16, some have died young, some at middle-age, the Bride of Christ taken up, and the remainder to endure yet likely die during the 70th Week of Years.
None of this impacts salvation of an individual, so folks can accept or reject as they choose.
Does the prophecy in Hosea 6:2 fit in here?
DeleteWith respect to Israel, yes.
DeleteJeremiah 30:1-38
ReplyDeleteThe last verse does put this prophesy "in the latter days".
ReplyDeleteIt appears to me that Israel as a whole will "consider this" when they see their enemies conquered.
Jmoll,
ReplyDeleteAmen.
The Amorites are analogous to the people who today are all around Israel. Idolatrous, abominators, sacrificers of children, heathen worshippers of false deity.
War Cabinet Minister Benny Gantz, if he keeps his vow, will resign tomorrow evening.
ReplyDeleteGantz' resignation is very likely to completely alter the current dynamic of the war (as driven by the Israeli Left and globalists who want anything but "Israel Victory" to prevail over the Islamist terrorists).
The current scuttlebutt from the Israel Sovereignty Movement is that Gantz will immediately be replaced in the War Cabinet by Avigdor Lieberman and Gideon Saar.
These two additions will then drive the Israel Victory Doctrine to full implementation thereby freeing the IDF to engage in a truly full-scale war against all enemies, from Gaza, to the north and in Judea and Samaria.
God knows.
Looks like Gantz might stick around for a bit. As you say - God knows. Just like those buildings that do not belong on the Temple Mount. They'll go at the right time too. Bro. Steve
DeleteOnly after the great success of "Operation Arnon did Gantz reverse course to stay in the War Cabinet. He's no longer a true warrior but a full-fledged politician now.
DeleteAnd besides, regardless if he stays or goes, the Israel of old is returning! Highly prophetic!
Israel sould immediately recall Ambassador Erdan from the U.N.
ReplyDeleteIsraeli Special Forces have rescued alive four hostages in central Gaza, near Nuseirat.
ReplyDeleteThank you JESUS !!!!
DeleteSome good news...
DeletePraise God!
The Islamo-Terrorists, their supportive kinfolk of the Left and other hangers-on have gone off-the-hook apoplectic over the success of the Operation Arnon hostage rescue mission. Heartwarming.
DeleteHad the IDF not gone into Rafah, this would not have been possible. Praise the Lord for their persistence!
ReplyDeleteThere's a renewed sense of purpose, a drive to achieve "Israel Victory" that cannot be stopped. All enemies shall be vanquished, at a high cost no doubt, but soon Israel will achieve its needed security and none will make them afraid. Archangel Michael is contending for Israel.
DeleteLooks like Gantz left after all. Events certainly are moving apace. Certainy sensing a 'hardening' of attitude from the Israeli side. Less worrying about what outsiders think. Bro. Steve
DeleteSo, let's see if Sovereignty Movement gets Avigdor Lieberman and Gideon Saar into the war cabinet. Buh-bye Gantz.
DeleteWe now know why Gantz and Eizenkot resigned - their effort to establish a Palestinian state, as dictated by the Biden Administration, in the heart of Eretz Israel was thwarted by Bezalel Smotrich and Ben Gvir and the religious parties. So these two Quislings abandoned Israel in the middle of this war.
DeleteThe war in the North is continually ratcheting up in lethality, frequency and depth of strikes. Hezbollah has begun launching their heavy rockets into Israel and reaching at least 25 to 40 miles. The terrorists have also begun attempts to shoot down IAF aircraft with SAMs.
ReplyDeleteThe IDF response includes drones, strike aircraft and heavy artillery so that much of southern Lebanon feels the earth moving and concussive over-pressure from these nearly hourly strikes.
It seems that the more dire the situation becomes for Gaza terrorists the more intense the escalation rises in Lebanon and Syria.
This action puts pressure on the Twelver regime in Iran to intervene, especially after the targeted IAF strike near Aleppo, Syria which killed Iranian General, Saeed Abyar on 3 June. Iran has vowed to retaliate against Israel for these type of strikes. They may materialize after the coming presidential election in which another hardline 12er will ascend to the office.
DeleteAs of last night the war in the north extends from Haifa to Lebanon's northern border with Syria (Hermel).
DeleteThe hundreds of strikes against Hezbollah in Lebanon and Syria are Israel's method of gearing up for full-scale war.
