At this point the true bride of Christ is consistently seeing prophetic fulfillments on a day to day basis. The "news of the day" is full of such reports, be they precursory or foreshadowings. This, in and of itself, is also highly prophetic and so stated explicitly in I John 2:18...

IDF Merkava IV MBTs Advancing in Gaza

18 August 2025: Initial reports of IDF armored columns with heliborne air cover are advancing on Gaza City. For now we'll assume the columns are advancing from all directions for complete encirclement. 

This IDF advance follows news that Egypt and Qatar attempted a fast one, via global media, by getting HAMAS to accept a partial and phased release of hostages, another islamist ruse which Israel had fervently rejected days earlier.

Defense Minister Katz has approved "Gideon's Chariots B" as the official IDF nomenclature for the operation to conquer Gaza City. Israel has to date completed the conquest of 75% of the Gaza Strip. The ongoing IDF advance is a well-planned maneuver known as 'shaping the battlespace.' The estimate to complete this operation is reported to be three to four months or by the close of 2025.

UPDATE 20 August 2025: With respect to the operational time line noted above, PM Netanyahu has directed that the operational time line be considerably shortened. It appears that execution of this directive will require overwhelming force and lethality above and below ground level.
