Global SITREP B8-25: On The Prophetic Road to Revelation

 


UPDATED 13 October 2025: At the Knesset in Israel this morning they're celebrating the release of the hostages and speaking very pragmatically about a long-lasting "peace through strength" in the Middle East. Eschatology Today will give the speakers in the Knesset this day as it is clearly a God-given day. It was appropriate that President Trump began his speech by invoking the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. 

However, even through they may be men of the Judeo-Christan faiths none are speaking with the authority of Almighty God. As we read in Holy Scripture days such as this one are actually important signposts along The Prophetic Road to Revelation. Despite all the glowing expectations voiced this morning there are unintended consequences directly ahead

Here it is very important to note that in the Arab and Muslim nations which participated in this "peace process" they are not handing out sweets on the streets. That is most telling as we will soon see.

Also today at the Gaza Peace Deal Signing ceremony in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt post-hostage release there was talk of Gaza reconstruction - but only after the demilitarization of HAMAS and the other jihadists has taken place. Were there Arab Muslim countries volunteering to take the Islamic jihadists weapons away from them? No, there were not. Not Turkey, or Qatar or Egypt or the UAE. So who then completes this task? Does HAMAS disarm itself? Yeah, right. So, what force does? The only capable force is the IDF, meaning all proclamations of peace are just so much hot air and wishful thinking. Neville Chamberlain would be proud, he had worthless signatures on paper too. 

15 October 2025: The IDF has been directed by Defense Minister Israel Katz to formulate new plans for the total conquest of Gaza and elimination of HAMAS. 

The trigger for renewed, full-scale warfare by the IDF is the determination that the terrorists have not released all of the remains of deceased hostages as well as their failure to promptly and completely disarm.

17 October 2025: The current situation is one where HAMAS is providing the rope with which they will hang themselves. These terrorists are wildly flaunting the ceasefire terms they agreed to abide by, even murdering fellow Gazans, continuing attempts to engage the IDF either in firefights or ambushes to effect soldier kidnappings. 

The express warnings have been given by Israel and the US. Eschatology Today believes renewed warfare will take us to the condition Ezekiel noted Israel would realize per the opening verses of chapter 38. At that point the prophetic Pslam 83 scenario will be historical fact.

The War of Tekumah

19 October 2025: This morning HAMAS brazenly attacked a mechanized IDF unit in Rafah with anti-tank rockets. A significant IDF land battle resulted from the attack with the Air Force acting in its usual force multiplier role joining the battle with heavy strikes on HAMAS targets in the south and north of Gaza. 

THE WAR OF TEKUMAH

The government voted to rename this The War of Tekumah. Tekumah means Resurrection or Rebirth. Eschatology Today thinks the naming change is appropriate as this renewed war stands to fundamentally reshape Israel and its landscape in the coming days as foretold in Scripture, i.e. Israel fully reborn.

UPDATE 20 October 2025: Consistent with the central theme of SITREP B8-25: On the Prophetic Road to Revelation, the critical importance of the War of Tekumah in prophetic last days events requires unambiguous language.

In the vein of past as prologue, the role of the United States President Trump at this time mirrors in an important aspect that of the Persian King Cyrus. Neither Cyrus (His annointed, Isaiah 45:1) nor Trump in our day, knew/know the LORD initmately but did/do acknowlege His existence. Eschatology Today prays for Trump to receive Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior soon, yet his recent history and actions may indicate an "annoiting" pursuant to the Sovereign Will of God.

In Old Testament (OT) times large populations of various peoples were relocated to distant lands. This as the OT makes abundantly clear was within the LORD's will. Trump has repeatedly proposed relocation the Gaza civilians to various nearby Arabic-speaking lands. Coincidental? I think not as God is in control. His Will is in action every day and everywhere.

We know the outcome of the war in Gaza. The ongoing pulverization of its structures into rubble and dust; the eventual dispersement of the populatiom are prophetic certainties. Zephaniah 2 and Amos 1 will come to literal fulfillments. In fact, the entire coastal region of southern Israel and Gaza is prophesied to become grasslands for the grazing flocks of Israel's farmers and ranchers. These God-breathed prophetic words tell us true believers that Trump's vision of Gaza becoming a Middle Eastern version of the French Riviera has a zero chance of becoming realized.

Coming attractions...

UPDATE 25 October 2025: Benjamin Netanyahu opened the Government meeting this morning with the following statement:

"In the past month, we have witnessed ridiculous claims regarding the relations between the U.S. and Israel. Israel is an independent state - our security policy is in our own hands. We have clarified with respect to international forces that Israel will determine which forces are not acceptable to us. We are not willing to tolerate attacks against us, and we thwart emerging dangers. We do not ask anyone's permission for this."

    4. The MSM rarely if ever mentioned the Gaza clan/family militias. I have from time to time noted them on ET, but now that the IDF withdrew to the so-called "Yellow Line" it's open warfare in the evacuated areas.

      Last night a 5-man squad of HAMAS terrorists ignored warnings as they deliberately approached the IDF line in Shejaiya, east of Gaza City. The IDF eliminated the threat the squad posed. This is the first direct I&W that HAMAS is still at war with Israel.

  4. We can now see one of the gaping holes in the hastily implemented "Trump Peace Plan."

    The hole is that the plan provides ZERO leverage for Israel over HAMAS to enforce the collection and return of deceased hostage remains.

    A HAMAS "say so" in this regard is of no worth whatsoever. The remains of 24 deceased hostages provide HAMAS with leverage in continued terrorist blackmail.

    Yesterday the architects of this fiasco of a peace plan had heaps of praise placed upon them. A disgrace.

  5. HAMAS has now killed dozens of Gaza clansmen in firefights. Many others that were captured have been publicly executed at point-blank range by rifle shot to the back of the head. Peace is not possible with such animal barbarians.

  6. Gen. 6, As in the days of Noah: "the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually"

    2 Tim 3: In the last days, men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, and unholy.They will lack love, forgiveness, and self-control, and will be brutal, not lovers of good, treacherous, rash, and conceited, prioritizing pleasure over God

    While these things have characterized all of humanity down through the centuries, there can be no doubt they are on full display (on steroids as the cliché goes) today,

    Hamas is a prime example of brutality (what normal person could even conceive the horrors they perpetrated on Oct. 7?) and myopic focus on evil; there is no bargaining with such, no agreement that will succeed. But their day is coming. God does not forget His promises to His people: Zephania 2-- Gaza, Ashkelon, Ashdod, and Ekron will be destroyed, and the land will become pastureland for shepherds and folds for flocks. We don't know the details and timing of the processes, but we know the end, from the beginning. And we can rest on the reality of God's goodness, His faithfulness, His justice, and His mercy in the midst of His wrath (Habakkuk 3). All His promises are yea and amen, right?

    So, for us, we watch, we are aware, we are weary, but we stay alert and remain hopeful, our Redemption draws nigh.

  7. Someone else’s quote that I read on a blog this morning: “I honestly don’t understand how PDJT, who is friends with Ben Carson, Franklin Graham, and 10’s of pastors and Christian leaders, acts like his works will save him.
    Clearly, though God is guiding his actions, he has not understood the Gospel. This should be of critical importance for a 79-year-old man who is in mortal danger from unhinged leftists every day.”
    I saw a clip of President Trump being interviewed aboard Air Force 1 yesterday and he said something to the effect that wasn’t sure if he was going to heaven, but he hoped his efforts in bringing peace might help. It sounds like he is still spiritually immature (having been born again not long ago), not understanding that redemption is a free gift, for everyone that believes.
    This would be consistent with what I saw Kim Clement prophesying a decade+ ago that he would enter office whispering God’s name and sometime after that (presumably while in office) he would be filled with the Holy Spirit and would be shouting his name.

I also would have liked the Book or Daniel to be a major part of it as messing with Revelation is not a good idea at all.

    1. This also goes hand-in-hand with the much referenced enlargement of the Abraham Accords. The addition of a Seven-Year trial period in the near future would make this group look too much like the prophetic "Covenant Among Many" to be coincidental.

    2. Asking a few clarifying questions, for personal understanding…. Does the prophetic Scripture state definitively that the “Covenant among many” must include language relating to the rebuilding of the temple?
      I have heard several other ‘prophecy teachers’ say that the covenant MUST include the promise to rebuild the temple, but I just don’t see it in the Bible, myself.
      I definitely see that a temple WILL be built, and the Antichrist will desecrate it at the 3 1/2 yr mark, similar to the actions of Antiochus Epiphanes… but I do not see that the covenant itself must be written in such a way that the rebuilding of the temple is included in the language.
      I have read the passages in Daniel and I don’t see it. I have searched for it in other places , and again I do not see it.
      I see clearly that there will be a temple during the time of Jacob’s trouble, but I just don’t see that it’s something the Antichrist works into the covenant, or promises the Jews outright. If this is in a different passage of Scripture and I just haven’t seen it..can you please point me to it? Thank you.

    3. E Tallent,

      "Does the prophetic Scripture state definitively that the 'Covenant among many' must include language relating to the rebuilding of the temple?"

      No, prophetic Scripture says nothing of the sort. Those other teachers are 100% incorrect.

      When the LORD's Two Witnesses begin their 1,260 day ministry the 3rd Temple is aleady standing and in service. Revelation 11:1-3 makes this very clear.

  21. Jon,

    VP Vance was with PM Netanyahu yesterday when a reporter asked him if Israel was a vassal (protectorate) state of the USA. Netanyahu immediately blurted out "No, we are not!!!" Vance remained silent.

    At this time (while Vance is in Jerusalem) the Noam Party led by Avi Naoz will introduce the Judea-Samaria sovereignty bill in the Knesset.

    What happens next will prove if Bibi was being truthful, i.e. if the sovereignty issue is quashed in the Knesset today, then Israel is under the USA's thumb. If the bill moves forward then Israel is acting with complete sovereignty.

    Trump and Netanyahu are each acting in their national interests, with an eye on the Abraham Accords.

  28. Steve Bannon, a long-time Trump insider and chief advisor, recently said in a video interview with The Economist that Trump is not "churchy" or a truly devoted believer, but he does have a certain level of faith in that he believes he's operating under a "Providential" annointment.

    Torah-observant Jews in Israel are asking if "Christian" Trump has read the Bible. Is he unaware of the Land Covenant made with Abraham in Genesis 15:18; with Isaac in Genesis 26:3 and with Jacob (Israel) in Genesis 35:12?

    These observant Jews want to know why has Trump made a deal with the Arabs (Ishmael's descendents) to deny the possession (sovereignty) of Judea and Samaria to the State of Israel, and thus deny God's promises.

    It is a fact that the Israeli people are accutely aware via their media coverage of what Trump, Vance and Rubio have said regarding American policy on the unilateral application of sovereignty to Judea and Samaria (i.e. "not gonna happen"), lands which are central to the Lord's Land Covenant.

    1. "America exists to bless Israel, not issue curses against it."

      Yes, and from Harry Truman forward America has had an ambivalent--ranging from defense to outright hostile--relationship with Israel. Those of us who belive Scripture know the dangers of abandoning, hardening ourselves against, Israel. The current president is trying to play both sides agains the middle, courting the Arabs on one hand while defending Israel (mostly) on the other. It is obvious he doesn't know, nor is he counseled against, the danger of not being Israel's strong defender (in the natural realm). Is he a believer? God knows. Although there are certainly plenty of indicators to the contrary. At the very leasst a lack of understanding the way and nature of salvation. No surprise given those he has surrounded himself with. There are, apparently, genuine evangelical believers in his close administration. How conflicted they must be implementing his policies that go counter to Scripture (assuming they know Scripture). In anty case, as is so often reiterated here, God is in control, His plans and purposes will be done. No man--nor spiritual entity--can thwart that. While I never expected to be here this long into the shadows of Daniel's 70th week, we sure live in amazing times. What an incredible blessing to have been born during this time in human history (1943 for me, so a true fig tree generation). Just think we could have come to belief, as Gentiles, in the God of A-I-J at other times in history, but to be chosen to be a part of the Bride of Christ is the most amazing and humbling thing I know. Maranatha, all! Judi, hmewrdbd.

      How To Properly Deliver an Ultimatum to HAMAS

  32. אוֹת ʼôwth (pronounced 'oath')
    This is the Hebrew word (Strong's H225) that has long been translated as 'sign' in the sense of something appearing. It also has the meaning of a signal or a beacon, as in something appearing to be noticed. This is as the LORD God defined it in Genesis 1:14.

    In Jesus' Olivet Discourse, Matthew 24 for example, He told the apostles in no uncertain terms the specific signs, signals and beacons that would herald His return, and that we should "watch therefore" for wars, rumors of wars, famines, pestilences, earthquakes, and that these would progress in quantity and intensity. He also said there would be signs, signals and beacons in the sun, moon and stars.

    Watching...

    2. Jmoll,
      Thanks. Someone, I do not know who, needed this to be posted. So I followed His leading and posted it after a few days of gentle prodding.

  33. It's rather eyepopping to read that King Abdullah II, Hashemite monarch of Jordan, has openly cast doubts upon President Trump's Gaza peace plan during an interview on the BBC's Panorama program.

    In short the King made clear that the plan requiring an international armed force was unrealistic. "If it's peace enforcing, nobody will want to touch that."

    Bro, our thinking is in accord with knowing the 'times and the seasons.' Very good!

    I also have long cited Ezekiel 39:29 as the greatest indicator on the timing of the conclusion of the current dispensation (the end of the "Church age" (Harpazo) and when God turns His full attention upon Israel).

  35. There's a united assessment within Israel's government organs (PMO, Intel, IDF, Knesset) that HAMAS knows exactly where the remains of Col. Assaf Hamami and Lt. Hadar Goldin are located, but refuses to return them.

    There are calls for Israel to arrest again the released terrorists HAMAS placed a high value on in the fiasco peace deal. To add fuel to the fire the remains delivered yesterday were not those of a hostage.

    If some might think that HAMAS is "playing" Israel, they should think again. This situation is a uniting force in Israeli society, even the hostage families see through the evil game being played.

  36. Russ,

    The author of the video you noted freely admitted he made changes to the original text of the Revelation (Apocalypse) of Jesus Christ. He even illustrated the changes he made in order to shoehorn the meaning he wanted in this Holiest of Holy texts (from God, to Jesus to John).

    Revelation 22:18-19
    "For I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds to these things,
    God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book; and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the Book of Life, from the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book."

    So, this guy defies the literal Word of God. I reject his rubbish.
