| IDF troops prepare for operations in Lebanon |
18 September 2024: It's said that an object in motion tends to stay in motion. As we have seen in the past couple of days the IDF's "center of gravity" is moving inexorably towards the Northern Front. The IDF mission objective is to fight Hezbollah on Lebanon's territory so as to allow Israeli civilians to return safely to their homes in northern Israel. Based upon Bible prophecy, the books of Joshua, Jeremiah and Isaiah especially, Eschatology Today believes that the Northern Front holds much more in store for Israel and its defense forces than merely driving Hezbollah terrorists north of the Litani River. We'll follow key events closely and as they occur.
The IDFs Northern Front operations were planned to begin with detonation of the thousands of "accessorized" (an ounce or two of high explosive) pagers, but worries that the plan was compromised resulted in the order Tuesday to light them up.
ReplyDeleteAs the pagers displayed alpha-numeric messages most of those killed or injured lost eyes and or hands. This was followed up today with a similar number of exploding walkie-talkies "accessorized" with even larger explosive charges.
Iranian claims that none of their forces were killed or injured is just so much hogwash. The Iranian ambassador to Lebanon was one of those possessing one of these devices. Thousands of the injured have been transferred to hospitals in Iran.
The current estimate has 8% to 12% of Hezbollah forces being killed or severely injured in the last two days, most in Lebanon and others in Syria. This attack is beyond question the most incredible intelligence operation in history, leaving no doubt about Israel's technological superiority.
ReplyDeleteCan you explain the part where it says "the fortress of Ephraim shall cease" where does that fit? Is that part of what's happening or does that occur later, and does that imply heavy destruction to parts of Israel?
ReplyDeleteJon,
DeleteThe context of Isaiah 17:3 is most important in what I believe is a proper exegesis.
The past serves as prologue here.
In the past the 10 tribes of the northern Kingdom of Israel were aligned with the kingdom of Aram Damascus. The Assyrian Empire swept in from the northeast and conquered them both.
At present the "fortress of Ephraim" is geographically synonymous with Samaria where Islamic terrorists of HAMAS and others have a string of fortified cities. These terrorists are armed by Iran via proxies in Syria.
Isaiah has prophesied that Damascus, Syria and tge terrorists in Samaria will all cease to exist during their current war with the State of Israel. The IDF today is well into combat operations to destroy the terrorists in the cities of Samaria.
Soon the State of Israel will claim sovereignty over Judea and Samaria, the so-called "West Bank."
Iran and proxies are playing the long game to wear out Israel in one or two decades.
ReplyDeleteIran and its proxies days are numbered; they don't have the luxury of ten to twenty years to complete their "long game."
DeleteIsrael is the "Apple" of Gods eye! And it would be utterly foolish to think that God Almighty is in the habit of playing games with a bunch of proxies, let alone any mortal man.
