Global SITREP B7-25: Unintended Consequences

30 September 2025: What comes next following PM Netanyahu's unmandated acceptance of Trump's "end the war" plan? A potential landslide of unintended consequences from Trump's grandiose Nobel Peace Prize gambit is more than likely to be unrestricted warfare.

3 October 2025: President Trump today issued on his Truth Social platform a "last chance" ultimatum to HAMAS to accept his peace plan by 6 PM Eastern Daylight Time, Sunday, October 5. 

Trump claims 25,000 HAMAS soldiers have already been killed and the remainder will be hunted down to suffer the same fate if his peace plan is not accepted. According to Trump the remaining HAMAS soldiers "are surrounded and MILITARILY TRAPPED, just waiting for me to give the word, “GO,” for their lives to be quickly extinguished."

5 October 2025: Let's face facts, Trump's 3 or 4 day ultimatum to the Islamic jihadists (<i>let that sink in as to who and what they are, their religious ideology and what they did to 1,200 innocent human beings on 7OCT23</i>) has been an abject failure. 

Eschatology Today wrote early on that it would be impossible for the Islamic jihadists to abide by Trump's dictate proposal to end the war. And they haven't. The jihadis have balked at the three most basic conditions of releasing all hostages within 72 hours, complete disarmament and renunciation of any future role in Gaza, nevermind the remaining seventeen or so items of Trump's proposal.

There are still <i>thousands</i> of heavily armed jihadists in Gaza with hundreds of hidden arsenals and undiscovered tunnel redoubts. This is beside the fact that Islamic jihadists never surrender to a non-islamic enemy. For 1,400 years no such surrender has ever taken place. Not even once. 

So, does anyone truly believe that in twelve hours time (6 PM Washington time) HAMAS and Palestinian Islamic Jihad will surrender, disarm and release all living and deceased hostages?

By the way, since the Trump plan was made public the IDF has NOT relented from its combat operations in Gaza but has increased them.

FINAL UPDATE 10 October 2025: Despite media reports, and even American and Netanyahu government statements, that all of the IDFs military objectives have been achieved the facts of the matter are in diametric opposition to such pronouncements.

The various terrorist groups in Gaza, led by HAMAS, PIJ, al-Shaabab, PFLP and smaller formations of islamic jihadists, have NOT been defeated, removed from power, disarmed or removed from the territory of Gaza. In fact, in a very short period of time, perhaps as soon as Monday, 13 October, the lead jihadists of HAMAS will have de facto control of all territory abandoned under the Trump peace protocol negotiated by Witkoff and Kushner and a handful of Islamic governments. 

Israel having lost well over 1,000 of its finest troops has also, at least temporarily, lost this particular war against Islamic jihadism in Gaza. In Lebanon the Hezbollah and Amal jihadists have not been defeated, are regrouping and rearming to re-engage in war with Israel. 

What we hve now is yet another islamic hudna, a temporary time-out to the war. Both sides have gained lessons learned and the next massacre of innocents will make the October 7, 2023 massacre look pale in comparison. Syria and Jordan will join in the next conflict; Isaiah 17 indicates the death toll Israel will endure "in the day of disease and incurable pain."

There's precedent here for those with a certain type of temporary amnesia. In its first term (2017-2021) the Trump Administration "45" brokered FOUR Arab-Israel peace agreements. This war nearly trampled on all of them, the next one will trample on all of them despite Trump saying this deal ensures "an everlasting peace." 

Bible prophecy assures that only Jesus Christ will bring an everlasting peace.

In his speech to the Israel people at 1 PM IST today, PM Netanyahu made clear that the IDF will resume combat operations in Gaza to neutralize the remaining terrorist elements "the hard way" should the current agreement fail. And fail it will.

Global SITREP B6-25: Sovereignty, Part II

 

Judea and Samaria sovereignty map

UPDATED 7 September 2025: The map above purports to illustrate the areas of Judea and Samaria (light green) to which Israeli sovereignty will be applied in September. The areas in yellow indicate the six localized areas that reportedly (for the time being) will be excluded from sovereign eretz Israel.

8 Septermber 2025: The HAMAS terror attack at Ramot Junction this morning strongly indicates the map above may be nothing more than a trial balloon of wishful thinking as all of the yellow-colored urban areas are infested with islamic terror cells. The IDF will have to subdue each of them.

14 September 2025: Once again the Yesha Council has demanded that PM Netanyahu immediately declare Israeli sovereignty over Judea and Samaria. Their slogan is "Palestine or Sovereignty." 

Today's Yesha Council demand comes after the UNGA last week overwhelmingly voted for a non-binding resolution to recognize a non-existant palestinian state within Israel's borders. There remains just over one week before France and Saudis, with considerable EU backing, unilaterally recognize an independent terrorist state in Judea and Samaria.

PM Bibi Netanyahu is almost certainly plum out of options since this can of worms can no longer be kicked any further. He must annex and declare full sovereignty which will be an act on par with Israel's declaration of independence 77 years ago.

IDF Armored Forces Enter Gaza City

16 September 2025: The government of the State of Israel this Tuesday morning confirmed what Eschatology Today stated in commentary on Monday, 15 September, and several times previously in recent days - the full scale ground invasion and conquest of sprawling Gaza City (Operation Gideon's Chariots II) is now underway. 

The complete destruction by IAF air power of more than 50 high-rise buildings, which previously dominated the Gaza City skyline, was preliminary to massive, heavy IDF ground forces rolling in like an armored tsunami.

We can reasonably expect the rest of this current week to be unlike anything witnessed in a very, very long time.

However, it is not enough to dwell upon these current events, as this is a time (we all know it!) to focus again on the LORD's prophetic word, the true reason for Eschatology Today to exist.

We are to be witnesses to the fulfillment of Ezekiel 28:24 and the removal of HAMAS in Gaza as a pricking brier. Make no mistake, as the LORD makes clear through Ezekiel 28:25-26, He is executing judgments on all those around Israel. These two verses clearly point to the condition of Israel in Ezekiel 38/39, the concluding judgment prior to the 70th Week of Years (Thlipsis and Megas Thlipsis).

So, now all of the "pricking briers" will receive His executed judgments. Psalm 83 is a primary overview, as is Joshua 13:1-7, as is Isaiah 11 and 17, plus Jeremiah 49. The Egyptians would do well not to ignore Isaiah 19 - but they will because they've submitted their nation to the false god of arabia, and at least for the time being according to Isaiah's prophecy. I leave it to the reader to again review what the LORD has declared through His prophets; they've all been repeatedly recited here over the past sixteen years.

I believe we're well into the terminal phase of existence prior to the Harpazo of Christ's bride. Lamps well oiled, He is coming for us!

FINAL UPDATE 28 September 2025:
