| Four B2 Spirit Stealth Bombers on Standby |
UPDATED 29 March 2025: On 7 March the United States of America delivered an ultimatum to the Islamic Republic of Iran: Within 60 days you will enter into negotiations for a new nuclear deal, or else.
A very stealthy and lethal part of the 'or else' are now sitting on a tarmac at Diego Garcia island in the Indian Ocean (image above). For those who've not been following the 60-day countdown, it will expire during the first week of May 2025, and that is when "bad, bad things will happen for Iran."
30 March: Iran has threatened to attack the Chagos Islands where Diego Garcia island is located with the British Indian Ocean Territory (BIOT). For Iran there is no distinction between US and UK forces based there.
31 March: Ari Larijani, the top advisor to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei, has said Iran will have no choice but to produce nuclear weapons if attacked by the US.
3 April: Eschatology Today years ago advanced an interpretive exegesis of Jeremiah 49:34-39 which involved a coalition of nations initiating strikes against the Twelver Regime.
Currently the US, UK and Israel are prepared to strike to preempt the Iranian nuclear weapons program following the unilateral raid conducted by Israel in 2024 that hit both air defense capabilities and a key nuclear site Iran believed no one knew about.
Now France is warning of the "inevitability" of military strikes should diplomatic efforts to secure an agreement fail. The French statement mirrors that of President Trump's statements in recent days and may be seen as being consistent with the aforementioned 60-day countdown. The U.S. countdown now has approximately 30 days remaining.

| USAF B-2 Spirit and Massive Ordnance Penetrator (MOP) |
4 April: President Trump recently made a specific point to Ukraine's President Zelenskyy about his not having the 'cards' to play against Russian President Vladimir Putin in either a military or diplomatic effort to end the war. The gambit was with the United States at Ukraine's side (along with Ukrainian rare earth materials) Ukraine would have American 'cards" to play in securing Ukraine's future as an independent country.
There are two great conflicts on the earth at this time aside from the Middle East. The first is the War in Ukraine (Europe) and the Communist Chinese threat to wage war by invading and annexing Taiwan (Western Pacific). However, make no mistake that the Middle East is the conflict with the high potential to determine the outcome of war in Europe and the Western Pacific.
The impending conflict between the US (with UK, FR and IL) and the Islamic Republic of Iran will prove whether or not President Trump really possesses the 'cards' or if he is about to overplay his hand. Should Trump's threat for "bad, bad things" fail to materialize for Iran next month then both Russia and the Chinese would be correct to assess that the cards in Trump's hand are nothing more than a brinksmanship bluff (Trump has pledged to be a peace president and not a war-starting president) and they could press on with their national agendas of using overwhelming kinetic force to achieve their desired objectives (the military conquests of Ukraine and Taiwan).
Eschatology Today assesses that President Trump is NOT bluffing. The ongoing build-up of overwhelming American warfighting capability in the CENTCOM AOR, in particularly the several B-2 Spirit stealth bombers carrying two each 30,000 lb. Massive Ordnance Penetrator (MOP) bombs to crack open Iranian mountain redoubts housing nuclear and missile depots is not an idle threat. There can be no retreat from "Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon." Russia and the 'kings of the East' are watching intently. So are we.

| Six B-2 Spirit Stealth bombers on the tarmac at Diego Garcia |
8 April 2025: Why are these B-2 bombers not inside the hangers designed for them? Because American generals want the overhead satellites and Iran "to see our sword." They carry the most potent non-nuclear weapons in the American inventory and are impervious to Iranian air defense, or what is left of it. And, if necessary, they can carry nukes too, a lot of them.
I24 news (Israel) just reported that the US propsal to Iran is akin to the Libyan nuclear disarmament accepted by Muamar Kadhaffi years ago and which preceded the coup d'etat which overthrew his regime and resulted in his death.
The US will allow Iran to keep nuclear power for civilian use (Bushehr NPP), but its weapons program, including uranium enrichment, must be shut down and 100% dismantled or it will be destroyed in place. Iran has less than a month to accept or reject the options. Iran accepting the "Libyan option" is considered unlikely.

Logo for Israel's 77th Anniversary
|
UPDATE 9 April 2025: The logo designed to celebrate Israel's 77th year of existence is scheduled for official release in early May. Coincidentally, or possibly not so, the timing of the release is concurrent with the terminus of Iran's 60-day warning period to unilaterally terminate their nuclear weapons program or have it terminated by force of arms as foretold by the LORD's prophet Jeremiah (
Yirmĭyāhu).
In other news, the lead prosecutor of the government of Argentina has solicited the country's Supreme Court to issue an arrest warrant for Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei over the terrorist bombing of the Jewish Community Center in Buenos Aires. Argentinian investigators have solid evidence of Iran's responsibility for that terrorist attack. Argentina under the leadership of President Javier Milei has become one of Israel's strongest allies.
Israel has completed the division of Gaza into three zones.
The Netzarim Corridor slices completely through the strip south of Gaza City; the Morag Corridor slices through between Khan Younis and Rafah, and the Philadelphi Corridor divides Gaza from Egypt south of Rafah.
Annexation of the parcels of land to Israel proper between these corridors will fully reverse the 2005 disengagement by the late-Ariel Sharon government.
"If we have to do something harsh, we'll do it." - President Trump
Iran is being given a type of preview in what may happen in their country. Last night 71 targets in Houthi-controlled Yemen were obliterated by American strike aircraft.
ReplyDeleteFYI... I've long believed that Eschatology Today would continue as help for those not caught up in the Harpazo. However, I was just informed by Google Blogger that the emergency backup I created for this site (ET-2) has been deleted due to inactivity for one year straight. This means that post-Harpazo this active ET site will continue for 1 year and then be deleted.
ReplyDeleteI feel like thebpost-harpazo world is more likely to see a significant increase in censorship, and deletion. Sites like this blog, or social media type resources for those seeking Him, would be removed as the deceiver comes in 'peace'. Your thought, though, raises an interesting point. How do we share His love and desire for us with those that are left behind? This is something my wife and I are going to be praying over in the days ahead.
DeleteChris U
I believe Google and the rest of the world post-harpazo will have a lot of other things to worry about rather than expiring websites! Except maybe for those truly spiritually awakened by the Great Vanishing.
DeleteChris,
DeleteGreat point. What Scripture tells us about that time is that the Lord's Spirit will have been poured out upon all Israel and the 144,000 Jewish evangelists global ministry will result in several millions being saved during the 70th Week of years.
Chris,
DeleteWe have a notebook outlining all the relevant Bible verses pertaining to Daniel's 70th week after the Harpazo. We have also started stockpiling Bibles (not expensive ones) because we feel that getting one later on will be restricted if not a crime. I also have letters addressed to list family, or just anyone who will come looking after we're gone. Just a few ideas.
It is beyond comprehension to me that so many professed Christians do not believe the God-breathed messages given to us about the always imminent Harpazo (Rapture, Laqach) of the Bride of Christ, and the sheer depth of debate surrounding that blessed event!
DeleteGod said it clearly and unambiguously through His Messenger, Gabriel, and through His Holy Spirit to Paul.
What is there to disbelieve or debate?!
Sean,
DeleteI absolutely love these ideas. When I share these with my wife, I know she will as well. This fits well with our kids as well - they are the ones we worry over the most and they all know when SHTF, to come home. As a parent, having them find that care package post-harpazo is what I fear for them, but it could also be of comfort knowing they'll get the proper message, even if it isn't at the time we desire, as parents.
Our church operates a website for those left behind - I'll see if I can track that down and share that with you.
Thank you, brother Sean. I am grateful for you.
Baptistmama, thank you for sharing that - those are fantastic ideas. I think more and more about doing things like this to help those that will face the tribulation. Peace be with you, sister!
DeleteChrisU
Chris, Like Baptismama, I too have a Rapture letter, describing my abandoned house to any who come after me, along with the Gospel and a printed out copy (I use Jack Kelley's from gracethrufaith.com, but there are many others to choose from) of a study on the Book of Revelation--so they will know what's coming. I also have limited emergency food and supplies and a few Bibles, having donated most of mine when I downsized and moved (silly me, didn't think to keep them for Trib Saints!).
DeleteInteresting article on Zero Hedge today--apparently Zelensky has his own version of a Samson Option. Tik Tok.

Hmwrdbnd, thank you for sharing this! You all have provided some great thoughts. I look forward to meeting you all in Glory! Meanwhile, the clock ticks and there are still souls to win for Him.
DeleteChrisU
Sean, Olive Tree Ministries (Jan Markel) has a pamphlet about the Rapture that is pretty good. She offers them for free (up to 10). LInk: https://store.olivetreeviews.org/product/the-rapture-what-happened-and-why/. We have a few of these in our home, but we honestly need to work on the "left behind" package. Scary to even think about for the unsaved. Thank you, Leo D.
DeleteThere are many scenarios that could develop quickly, i.e. "like a flood."
DeleteUkraine is crazy these days, has been for more than ten years, but the LORD has His prophetic hooks ready for the appointed time.
Tell me this will not happen! Been following this site for many years!!!! Hope some one will pick up and continue to get the latest prophecy news out!!!!! JCthunder
ReplyDeleteIt's really something to see the current progression of small events that will ultimately result in the fulfillment of Jeremiah 49:34-39.
ReplyDeleteIranian military commanders are calling for an immediate preemptive missile strike against Diego Garcia.
DeleteBro Sean; Indeed. I've seen now several pieces of (NB: secular) direct and indirect commentary about Europe looking to aggressively re-arm; and apropos of this, the possibility of a leader of sufficient charisma and gravitas to gavlanise that region. Nascent but growing.
DeleteIran attacking DG will IMO, be the last bad decision in a long line of recent bad decisions. God giving the reprobates over to their own desires. Bro. Steve
Bro Steve,
DeleteYes, the Euro's are actively seeking the Destroyer, the son of Perdition, yet the true Christians who remain in the EU are silent, or, more likely, the global media are silent about their warnings. And this is taking place while the RC Pope is in increasingly poor health.
I tell people never to donate old Bibles because they will be outlawed immediately when the Antichrist comes to power. Keep em. Someone in your home will find and use them.
ReplyDeleteJustin
The war in the Middle East is white hot of late with Israel conquering Gaza anew with ferocity; striking multiple locations in Syria (Damascus and Homs) and pressing forward in Judea and Samaria. The US continues its blitz of Houthi Yemen, including Hodeidah, Sa'ana and Sa'ada. Itamar Ben Gvir ascended Temple Mount once again. Iran has rejected anew Trump's overtures for a nuke deal.
ReplyDeleteIsrael is now carving up Gaza like a Sunday roast.
ReplyDeleteIDF in a continuing mission to locate and dismantle terrorist infrastructure were engaged in a firefight with terrorist gunmen near Nawa, Dara'a governorate, Syria which quickly escalated to include tank fire and IAF airstrikes. At least 10 enemy were KIA.
ReplyDeleteAlso earler yesterday Israel destroyed the military airbases and their runways at Hama and T4 in order to preempt an imminent takeover by Turkish military forces.
DeleteAll infrastructure at these bases were obliterated by the IAF.
Turkish and Israeli military forces are ever coming closer to a direct engagement.
Jeremiah 49:35-37 makes it very clear that it will be the Lord who will destroy Elam/Iran. ....for I will cause Elam to be dismayed, [defeated] before those who seek their destruction.
ReplyDeleteBruce n Jan,
DeleteJeremiah 9:11-16 also has the LORD's "I wills" in abundance and directed against Israel! Did the LORD LITERALLY do all of this? Or did He bring agencies, nations and others throughout history to accomplish all of these "I wills." ??? Obviously, it was the latter He chose to accomplish His will expressed in Jeremiah's prophetic figures of speech. Are "you" the "wise man who understands and declares it?
“11 I will make Jerusalem a heap of ruins, a den of jackals.
I will make the cities of Judah desolate, without an inhabitant.”
12 Who is the wise man who may understand this? And who is he to whom the mouth of the Lord has spoken, that he may declare it? Why does the land perish and burn up like a wilderness, so that no one can pass through?
13 And the Lord said, “Because they have forsaken My law which I set before them, and have not obeyed My voice, nor walked according to it, 14 but they have walked according to the [f]dictates of their own hearts and after the Baals, which their fathers taught them,” 15 therefore thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: “Behold, I will feed them, this people, with wormwood, and give them [g]water of gall to drink. 16 I will scatter them also among the Gentiles, whom neither they nor their fathers have known. And I will send a sword after them until I have consumed them.”
According to the New Arab media source, Turkey and Syria have reached an agreement for Turkey to operate and base its air force at the recently destroyed air bases in the Homs Governorate.
ReplyDeleteNobody wants war, but... "these things must take place" is a certainty.
ReplyDelete"If you wish for peace, prepare for war". Not uncommonly, the best pathway to being a true 'peace' leader, is to demonstrate a willingness to be the exact opposite; with a degree of ruthlessness that instills generational fear in any actual or would-be adversary. I believe that DJT understands this principle very well. God has also given him the right type of people to enable effective application of same. Bro. Steve
DeleteBro. Steve,
DeleteYessir, common sense is a commodity in short supply these days!
God put DJT where he is for His sovereign reasons, and apparently many of those perishing stand in firm defiance of His will.
Strong delusion inbound and hot.
Two additional Patriot batteries and one additional THAAD battery are now defending Israel from Iranian and Houthi missile attack.
ReplyDeleteThis American butressing ABM deployment is more I&W that Trump's public statements about neutralizing Iran's nuclear program are not idle threats.
Tomorrow Bibi and Trump will meet in Washington, D.C. with Iran on the top of their agenda.
Tick-tock...
Interesting that Elon Musk has proposed "Open Borders" between the US and EU. Zero tariffs.
ReplyDeleteThere are now at least six (6) B-2 Spirit stealth bombers deployed to Diego Garcia.
ReplyDeleteThe B-2 Spirit's have been striking targets in Houthi-controlled Yemen.
What stands out to me more than anything right now is that Palm Sunday, Passover, Resurrection Sunday and Pentecost are all upon us. I pray; Father, Glorify Your Name.
ReplyDeleteAmen!
DeleteAnd this year the Jewish and Christain holy days are concurrent with Israel's 77th Yom Ha'Atzmaut (Day of Independence).
As noted several times thus far, the Syrian islamists were begging for war with Israel today in Aleppo.
ReplyDeleteNo doubt the Syrian islamists were incited by their brethren in Turkiye where Recep Tayyip Erdogan called for an end to Israel this past weekend.
Isaiah 17 cannot be far behind this kind of jihad mongering.
I always thought Isaiah 17, Jeremiah 49 and psalm 83 were all one and the same, now it appears to me that they are 3 separate prophecies simply occurring in very close proximity.
DeleteJon Hartman
Jon,
DeleteExactly 16 years ago, March 2009, I initiated the phrase "Prophetic Dominoes" on Eschatology Today.
The original idea was how an attack on Iranian nuclear capability (Jeremiah) would be the lead "domino" followed by Isaiah 17, second domino, and then the Psalm 83 ultimate fulfillment... fulfilling Ezekiel 28:24-26 and leading to Ezekiel 38-39 and the 70th Week of Years.
"Like a flood."
Apparently some readers prefer to ignore the advice given here to put no stock in what they read in print media, see on video productions or online or hear as well.
ReplyDeleteAgain, 99% of this pablum is pure deception, bald-faced lies and falsehoods based on a tidbit of fact. To NOT put on the "whole armor of God and still wade into such muck is beyond comprehension. What part of "God is in complete control of ALL things" is not understood?
Where is the Holy Spirit in this; is He being ignored? Jesus sent Him to us to keep us in the Truth, to help with prayer in the Spirit. So, pray to the LORD in the Spirit, and allow the Restrainer to do what He is still here to expressly do. Amen.
The very first sentence of Global SITREP A7-25 with all due emphasis is:
Delete"On 7 March the United States of America delivered an ultimatum to the Islamic Republic of Iran: Within 60 days you will enter into negotiations for a new nuclear deal, or else."
The current news should surprise no one, it has been the desired COA for our President from the get-go.
Now, negotiations are being discussed to occur on or about 12 April. Direct or Indirect is irrelevent, that they occur is what matters.
The 'or else' alternative might well be horrific as Jeremiah spoke the God-breathed prophecy.
The Trump Administration and SECDEF Hegseth have a doctrine that relies on diplomatic efforts first to resolve conflicts.
DeleteIf diplomacy fails to get to a resolution the doctrine calls for overwhelming military force. As the SECDEF says to US troops at every opportunity, "I'll never send you into a fair fight; I'll send you into the fight backed by overwhelming power."
Hezbollah in Lebanon has been rearming with Iranian weapons by sea and overland via third party countries (not Syria, at least for the moment).
ReplyDeleteIf I'm not mistaken, Turkey and Iran have a land border. Overland trucking to a Turkish seaport north of Lebanon would be an expedient route.
Bro. Sean; Yes - it's obvious now that you've pointed it out. Actually, logistically easier in many respects to go straight across southern Turkey to perhaps Iskenderun - only 250km by sea from Tripoli. Erdogan has previously and openly invited Russian forces to transit Turkish territory, if said transit was for the purpose of attacking Israel. 'Tik-tok' indeed. Bro. Steve
DeleteANALYSIS:
ReplyDeleteThe nuclear negotiation scheduled for next week between the US and Iran is a ruse. Iran has no intention to give up any part of its military nukes program, and is instead preparing itself and its proxy forces for war.
The IRGC, for the first time ever, has recently delivered advanced cruise and ballistic missiles to its Iraqi Shi'a PMO proxy forces. There is no doubt that IRGC Aerospace troops accompanied these offensive weapons into Iraq to ensure their combat effectiveness.
The recent directive by the IRGC-QF chief, Esmail Qa'ani, to the Iraqi PMO to hold their fire against US and IDF forces is a ruse also; an attempt to stave off US and IDF preemptive strikes. Qa'ani's directives originate with Ayatollah Khamenei.

ReplyDelete“With Iran, if it requires military, we’re going to have military. And Israel will obviously be very much involved, will be the leader of that.”
If necessary, Israel will lead a joint military operation to neutralize the Iranian nuclear weapons program.
We're all well aware of the "human shields" technique of totalitarian regimes to protect things and places they hold at a higher value than human life.
ReplyDeleteWell, now we have the Twelver's of Iran suggesting they're using this same technique to protect their highly enriched, weapons grade (60 - 90 pct purity) nuclear cores from Israeli/U.S. attack.
We should know in about 36 hours or so what flies and what doesn't.
ReplyDeleteUS spokesperson: "Right now, this is a meeting [Saturday] that is arranged. It is not part of some larger scheme or framework. It is a meeting to determine whether or not the Iranians are serious."
DeleteIranian FM spokesperson: "This is a meeting to determine is the US is serious."
A couple years ago there appeared here a SITREP that looked at the Russian population; its demographics and with respect to the war in Ukraine.
ReplyDeleteNow Giulio Meotti has a new column posted today at Israel National News which I believe explains why ALL of Gog's allies in Ezekiel 38/39 are muslim nations. Meotti notes astute observers all over the world who see that based upon demographics nuclear-armed Russia itself is becoming overtaken by islam.
I pushed the wrong button on my previous reply, i meant to say 10%. i think it was Christianity today where I read it, but not certain. it said 10 - 20% Muslim.
DeleteJon Hartman
The key stat in Meotti's column:
Delete"There are 25 million Muslims in Russia, or 17 percent of the total population. They are the majority in 7 of the 21 republics of the Federation."
In 2018 the demographic projection published in The Moscow Times held that the muslim population would be 30% in ten years because of the high birthrate in muslim majority republics (North Caucasus region) and religious conversions.
Meotti's figure are accurate and an additional 13% growth is within all projections in 2.5 years time (2028).
It's not coincidental that many of Gog's allies are North Caucasus former-Soviet republics.
That actually makes sense. I remember during the cold War, one major deterant to all out attacks was M.A.D. (mutually assured destruction). M.A.D. is not even a factor in Islam. Therefore, an Islamic Russia would make more sense than a Communist Russia. Since the early 2000s i believed Islam was being raised up for a fall in order to show the power of God via psalm 83 and Ezekiel 38&39

It's going on 2 PM in Muscat where the US-Iran are chatting about nukes. Anetnna is up.
ReplyDeleteMeeting over. Indirect and Direct contact. Tight lips thus far, as expected. Giving nothing away.
DeleteWH spox says meeting was "very positive and constructive."
DeleteMeet again next Saturday.
It should go without saying that yesterday's chat in Muscat was "very positive and constructive," because only diplomatic pleasantries and howd'yado's were exchanged; it's all apparently that was hoped for.
Deletei.e. The Twelver's didn't come in ranting about "death to America, death to Israel." But that's not to say the Twelver's have abandoned their Shi'a Hojjatieh apocalyptic theology and al-Mahdi -- a zebra could more easily abandon its dark stripes and a leopard its spots!
The LORD's word to Jeremiah stands as it has always stood. No nation can delay its fulfillment; only the deceived think they know better.

A delegation of members of the South African Parliament have visited Samaria and expressed their solidarity with Israel's sovereignty over Judea and Samaria.
ReplyDeleteUnlike the leftist leaders of South Africa, the South African Parliament is decidedly pro-Israel based upon recognition of Biblical priciples such as Genesis 12:3.
About the Parah Adumah (Red Heifer):
ReplyDeleteIt is uncertain if the sacrifice will occur this Pesach (Passover) as the priest says there might be white hairs developed on one or more of the animals, but they are repeatedly searched to determine their purity.
If not suitable per Numbers 19, then Shabbat Parah for Hebrew Year 5786 begins at sundown on Friday, 6 March 2026 and ends at nightfall on Saturday, 7 March 2026.
An Eschatology Today anniversary is coming up in two weeks. It's the 7th anniversary of a SITREP which I still believe holds a lot of water. It also has not escaped my notice that the anniversary may occur within a few days of a very bad day for the Islamic Republic, that is, the end of the 60 day ultimatum. With some minor edits of several typos that SITREP will be moved forward today to become Global SITREP A8-25.
