23 August 2026: The title of this SITREP speaks volumes for Israel and for the world at large. Apply it to the image above; what do you see in your mind's eye? Is the LORD's house standing where the golden dome is off in the distance? What was will be!
Israel is as divided as ever. But what has the LORD spoken through his prophets? Has He said the House of Israel will be united as one? It will be done!
One month from now Sukkot 2026 will take place, another integral part of the image above. There is nothing new under the sun! Eschatology Today again suggests your reading in the Spirit of John 7.

| IDF Troops in Gaza |
Accordingly, the IDF Southern Command has drawn up a comprehensive, multi-stage operational plan for the conquest of Gaza City which includes an evacuation of the civilian population to humanitarian safe zones. At this point execution of the plan is expected prior to the third annual observation of the October 7 massacre.

| Locating Larak Island |
31 August 2026: This map locates Larak Island where USCENTCOM struck yesterday after the IRGC was observed preparing to launch rockets fitted with sea mines. The launchers were destroyed.
The IRGC claimed retaliation strikes were launched at US bases in Jordan and the UAE. The UAE denies any impacts, saying air defenses intercepted incoming projectiles over Gulf waters. Jordan also shot down eight incoming missiles. The IRGC soundly loses the exchange of fires.
2 September 2026: Yesterday saw resumed military strikes against the Twelver regime of Iran. Official accounts cite approximately 100 targets in Iran being attacked, including two tankers belonging to the regime, air defense sites, radar installations, sea mine facilities, communication sites, anti-ship missile sites and drone launch sites. One US official described these strikes as "mowing the lawn."
An expected Twelver retaliation completely failed with half of the ballistic missiles launched being destroyed in the air, others impacting open ground and causing no damage or casualties in Jordan. Two dozen drones were launched against Bahrain, ballistic missiles and drones were launched into Kuwait and Iraq. The majority of these were also destroyed in the air or caused no significant damage on the ground.
Also, Russian President Putin declared Russia's continued support yesterday to the Iranian Twelver regime. This Russian declaration is consistent, once again, with the prophecy of Ezekiel 38:7. In a development cited as one of the most significant covert transfers of strategic military technology, the Financial Times reports that Russia has also been assisting the IRGC for several years in the development of supersonic, ram-jet powered cruise missiles designed to attack US aircraft carriers, other large vessels and strategic land-based targets.
Israel is anticipating an Iranian attack to coincide with the advent of Rosh Hashanah (next week) September 11-13, 2026.

3 September 2026: There are posts on Eschatology Today going back to 2012 (and even earlier) that cover the prophetic texts of the Book of Daniel. These texts, many dealing with the prophetic narratives from the angel Gabriel. All of them are extremely relevant for the time in which we live, and which are of special interest to those seeking to know why the ongoing war with Iran is taking place.
For example, Gabriel speaks of a demonic entity who he identifies as "the prince of Persia" (modern Iran). There's no question that this demon, who exists outside of time as we know it, remains extant to this very hour in Iran! Gabriel informs us that this demonic being opposed him and caused his delay in getting to Daniel. Only the intervention of the archangel Michael enabled Gabiel to present himself to Daniel and impart the many prophecies which followed. (See Daniel 8 for the specifics.)
Study this and you'll see why the war between the USA and Israel against Iran is, though not mentioned by name, is part of the greater Spiritual conflict raging, and how it is shaping the prophetic events soon to transpire.
You want to know the future? The Book of Daniel and The Apocalypse (Revealing) of Jesus Christ lay it all out for our understanding.

| Locating Beaufort and Ali al-Taher Ridges |
Israel is safeguarding the details surrounding this battle and its aftermath so as to deny the Iranian Twelvers any intelligence. Israel Defense Minister has made it clear the IDF, having now maneuvered into tactical defense positions, will remain on Ali al-Taher Ridge until Hezbollah has disarmed across all of Lebanon.
Marana'tha!
As always Eschatology Today moves forward.
ReplyDeleteDo you know why Eschatology Today habitually tracks earthquakes? It's because these events are I&W on the fulfillment of prophecy. Tracking severity, depth, and locations reveals great information about the nearness of this prophetic "big one."
ReplyDeleteWhat prophecy?
This one:
Global Earthquake
The Ring of Fire has had over 187 strong earthquakes over the past 7 days.
DeleteThe big ones going to coincide with the attempted gog invasion correct ?
DeleteYes, at that time. Scripture is very specific on when this global quake occurs.
ReplyDeleteBrother Sean, the matter of Syria and Turkey trying to sneak in military equipment caused Israel to bomb the airport, I believe the prophecy of Isaiah 17 is being set up and will coincide with Ezekiel 38, 39. What are your thoughts on this matter? God bless and keep you.
ReplyDeleteMelody
Melody,
DeleteThe Turks tried and found out the hard way not to test Israel. Israel understands very well that Turkey is an enemy.
One thing not many pay attention to is that Turkey invaded northern Syria years ago and occupies northern Syria with its army to this day.
Turkey will be part of the Magog confederation army, among many others, and will suffer the same fate in the Lord's wrath.
There is nothing new under the sun. Right? Right!
ReplyDeleteDespite promises (including to the US and the "Peace Commission) given just days ago to completely disarm, the HAMAS terrorists in Gaza HAD six secret weapons depots hidden iln mosques and adjacent to humanitarian aid sites in northern and central Gaza. The weapons included everything required for HAMAS to attack the IDF and Israeli civilians.
Israel must eradicate HAMAS with extreme prejudice as if they were plague-ridden vermin (because that's exactly what HAMAS is)!
Israel has made preparation for a massive aliyah of Jews from around the world. Hundreds of homes and farms are ready to receive the new arrivals. Prophecy in motion!
ReplyDeleteMassive aliyah to the tune of One Million new citizens of Israel. They will live in 40 new towns in the Negev and Galilee.
DeleteA giant blob of sun stuff (coronal mass ejection) is headed to earth and arriving tomorrow may well coincide with a lunar eclipse. Northern latitudes may see a blood red moon with green auroras. Nothing special, this has happened before.
ReplyDeleteFive (5) active cyclones/typhoons across the Pacific, above the equator! Signs, signs, signs!...
DeleteLD,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the "heads up" on that web site. The site is primarily a "pepper" site which is geared towards "end times" themes, but from what I saw in a quick review, it's devoid of the gospel of Jesus.
You are correct. It mentioned “scriptures” and “end times” but certainly leans toward prepping. Just looks exactly like your format and it came up top of the list despite my “bookmark”! Keep doing what you do! You are an indispensable source for all of us and we appreciate your dedication to the truth of the Word !!!! LD
DeleteLD,
DeleteMuch appreciated!
Today's update is due to unwavering faith in the LORD and knowing the continuous work of the Restainer is also in keeping with the appointed times.
He's coming!
Trump signaling that Kharg Island, Iran's primary oil export terminal, may be next.
ReplyDeleteThe war has resumed and there so much going on that a full update to this SITREP will go up shortly.
ReplyDeleteThere's I&W that this war could become global in short order.
ReplyDeleteIt definitely seems like the birth pains are picking up. Earthquakes and major flooding in multiple places. It seems like I just heard about one only to learn of another in a completely different part of the world.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely. The Ebola pestilence in Congo is spreading to other countries, even outside of Africa.
DeleteHow does the Lord GOD view the enemies that are all around Israel; how does He refer to them?
ReplyDeleteAs "prickly briers" and "thorns."
Soon the Lord GOD will execute judgment upon them all and then Israel will live securely.
Ezekiel 28:24-26 NKJV
With Israeli ISR reporting potental coordinated Iranian-planned synchronized attack by its proxies around and within Israel, we may be looking at Psalm 83's culmination approaching by the IDF's surprise all-front drill today.
DeleteI'm anticipating an IDF preemption in this regard. DM Israel Katz explicitly warned the PA yesterday of "all-out war" against them if they join in an expected assault against Israel.
DeleteThe UK is over run with Islamists, and is behaving as a dhimmi kingdom. It has jettisoned its Christian identity as seen in the national flag.
ReplyDeleteSanctions against goods, products and services from Judea and Samaria are no more symbolic than the State of Israel recognizing La Islas Malvinas (Falklands) as sovereign Argentine territory.
Clearly, Jeremiah 49:35 has not yet come to literal fulfillment. Iran launched 35 missiles at US bases in Jordan yesterday. No damage or casualties reported.
ReplyDeleteIran and Lebanon have been explicitly warned.
ReplyDeleteHouthi forces took the city of Mocha and its port after intense fighting and a withdrawal/retreat by Saudi-backed pro-government forces.
ReplyDeleteIt sits on Yemen’s Red Sea coast roughly 75 km (about 47 miles) north of the Bab al-Mandeb Strait (the “Gate of Tears”), a narrow chokepoint linking the Red Sea to the Gulf of Aden. This route carries a significant share of global oil, fuel, and commercial shipping (especially important as an alternative after disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz tied to broader regional conflict).
Analysts have described it as a major setback for the internationally recognized Yemeni government and a strategic gain for the Houthis (and by extension Iran).
Follow-on reports indicated further Houthi advances, including toward or onto nearby islands such as Zuqar, Hanish, and Perim/Mayyun in or near the Bab al-Mandeb area, with government forces regrouping farther south (e.g., around Dhubab).
AWM
There's no question that Yeman is the Biblical Sheba; this has long been the eschatological position of Eschatology Today blog. Therefore the current Houthi dominance is finite.
ReplyDeleteFour days ago Trump gave the Saudi leader (MBS) a firm NO on his request for US military action against the Houthis, who have made military conquests toward the Bab al Mandab choke point. The advances are clearly under IRGC direction, as was the devastating on c the Saudi East-West crude oil terminal. The Saudis have only a few days left of crude export supplies posing great risk to global economy. So, today MBS jumped the US Chain-of-Command by going to the US CENTCOM commander directly to press the issue for US military intervention in Yemen against the Houthis. It would appear that the Saudis and UAE do not possess the military power to defeat the Houthis.
ReplyDeleteWe can expect a sudden change to this situation.
Well, at least some in Israel are a tad concerned.
DeleteNevertheless, God is in control.
It's a very good thing (as most already know) to just ignore left-wing and globalist media reporting about Israel. They have no belief in, much less any regard for, the Lord GOD of Israel. Pray for their salvation, but ignore what they have to say until that time.
ReplyDeleteThe vast majority of true Israel, descendents of the 12 Tribes, are very conservative. Nearly 75%.
The rest will have to wait for the day when all Israel will come to know that He is the Lord God of Israel.
Trump's "No" to prince MBS for US intervention against the Houthis is near certain to be based upon the "hudna" that was negotiated with them to halt US strikes a couple years ago.
ReplyDeleteThe Houthis would need to break the terms of that "hudna" (such as an attack on a US Navy ship or US-flagged VLCC vessel) for Trump to honor MBS request.
A matter of time realistically.
The US is giving Israel $2.8 Billion in devastating weapons. This package includes forty-thousand 2,000 lb bombs.
ReplyDeleteThat's 20,000 Mk84 bombs and 20,000 BLU-117 bombs. War winning power on steroids.
It appears that after three years of waiting we are about to see the conclusion of Psalm 83 and ISRAEL living in peace and safety without bars or gates.
DeleteLook up for our redemption draws near.
Thank you Sean for keeping us grounded and informed
Maranatha
The nearness of it all, while expected, is still staggering to contemplate! Praise God!
DeleteTommy,
ReplyDeleteYes, Trump will pow-wow with the princes and/or foreign ministers of Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait and Oman next Tuesday.
I cannot get excited about it. As a born-again Christian Trump disgusts me for many reasons; foremost among them is his embrace of these islamic murders as partners in dealing with Iran, yet he ignores their role in the beheading, throat slashing, immolation alive, and execution by gunfire of countless Christians across the African Sahel.
In any case I find it interesting as talks of an end game with Iran begin circulating..
DeleteHe claims the end of the war will be either because he'll annihilate the 12er regime, or they'll agree to a deal. War and rumors thereof. Been hearing this for months on end.
DeleteIt's not Trump's call to make in any case. It's the Lord's call pursuant to His sovereign will.
DeleteTrump just announced an "Infinite Life" agreement between the US, Denmark and Greenland where the US will have total security control.
ReplyDeleteMost important to note is that more than 2 Million Jews participated at the Western Wall or ascended Temple Mount to offer Selichot prayers of repentance or for forgiveness in the lead up to the ten days of awe and Yom Kippur. Major significance to this!
ReplyDeleteWhen I watched a video of this earlier today I couldn't help but think the Israelis are no longer afraid of Arabs and muslims .
DeleteMaranatha
Prophecy being fulfilled in real-time before our eyes! Soon there will nolonger be a need for Eschatology Today blog.
DeleteWhat are your thoughts regarding this Trump/Greenland situation and how it may play into the Ten Kings? Everyone I talk to (Believers and Non-Believers) thinks this is ludicrous and a waste of time… but I see it as a consolidation of power with Eschatological ramifications. I know it’s being heralded as protecting our assets, etc from Russia and China, but it just seems to be potentially bigger than that to me.
ReplyDeleteI look at this as a preemptive defense of our Western continent against enemies from the East (Russia, China, etc.).
DeleteBro. Sean - Absolutely. Greenland is incredibly strategic. Full of minerals (China is developing a REO deposit there), and it is the gateway to the Arctic region and its known oil potential. The US lost ~2,000 soldiers defending Greenland during WW2 from the Germans (Denmark had surrendered to the Nazis). The other 'forgotten war' - like the Aleutian campaign. Denmark claimed Greenland without international mandate at the beginning of the 1950s. Greenland had been previously offered for sale to the US - American bought the Virgin Is instead at the time. America has a pretty solid claim to Greenland. DJT is a lot more on the ball than the talking heads who criticise his decisions. Bro. Steve
DeleteFrom an eschatology standpoint, my belief is that this will contribute materially to both the hook in the jaw of Gog and a partial catalyst for the Kings of the East. Not the sole factor by any means, but certainly a contributing one. US control of Greenland simultaneously frustrates Russian ambitions regarding Arctic oil and PRC's northern Belt & Road objectives.
DeleteSorry - didn't sign that - Bro. Steve
DeleteThank you Bro. Steve, for expanding on your original thought with the second comment, regarding the eschatological implications. That is some food for thought, and makes a lot of sense to me. I’m not military savvy, so some of these things aren’t inherently obvious to me… such as your comments regarding the hooks in the jaws for Russia and the Kings of the East. That is very interesting… especially how the Lord seems to be using the US to potentially set this up. Maranatha!
DeleteHeads Up for the "hooks" prophesied in Ezekiel 38/39!
ReplyDeleteRussia and its Belarus client state are in de facto hybrid warfare against the NATO allies from the Baltic states to Poland, to France and Germany.
Eschatology Today began noting the prophetic implications of the Russian invasion of the Ukraine 14 years ago. This was in the midst of the final term of the Obamination regime, and the feckless EU/NATO response led by Obama.
ReplyDeleteHere we are 14 years later and massive changes have taken place, foremost among them is that the Russian invasion has failed, no doubt completely under the power of the Divine Restrainer's execution the LORD's Sovereign will.
I believe a re-post through this link will be a good refresher in 2026, mostly because nobody will remember the original SITREP B12-13
If nothing else this blog has been consistent - the years of blog archives prove it to be so.
The Golan Heights remains a flashpoint for war between Israel and Syria.
ReplyDeleteAl-Shara'a declared the Golan to be Syrian at the UN this morning.
Al-Shara'a ignored Trump's recognition of the Golan as Israel's sovereign territory.
DeleteDM Israel Katz rebuked Al-Shara'a directly declaring that all territory conquered by the IDF will remain under Israeli sovereignty forever, and any new territories conquered in response to future aggression against Israel will also become Israeli territory forever.
Compare these statements by DM Katz with God-breathed prophecy about Israel's future borders.
Bro Sean; Well - that is certainly going to provoke team dar al-harb, isn't it? Huge revival in Sweden and I believe other Scandinavian countries. Led by young men. Hang on to your hat. Bro. Steve.
DeleteBro. Sean; What's your take on Jer 49:39? Clearly, 36-38 are in active fulfullment in real time now; so is v.39 a post 70th Week (i.e. Millennial) timing? I think you may have discussed this elsewhere, but there is a lot to unpack.
DeleteTo your other point, I recall an earlier teaching about the power of prayer, whereby an entire nation (i.e. Greece) was abandoned by the kindgom of darkness to deal with Gabriel on his return journey (Dan 10:20). The message being that one solitary believer in prayer was able to seriously dirupt hell's plans and oversight; with Persia and Grecia being left wholly unattended to deal with the activities initiated by Daniel. I also found it of note that it was specifically Greece (Macedonia?) that came to the aid of Persia in the spiritual realm.
Still trying to 'gel' it all, but there's a lot in there. Bro Steve
Bro Steve,
DeleteIt is consistently the angel Gabriel who brings prophetic messages to Daniel in the closing chapters (9-12) of the book.
It is the Archangel Gabriel who assists him in the spiritual warfare.
Ch. 10 was prophecy in Daniel's time (500 BC). It was explicitly fulfilled 200 years later, circa 300-323 BC. It is recorded history about the rise of Alexander the Great (Greek-Macedonian), his conquest of Persia, and his death and the splitting of his empire into four lesser empires ruled by four of his generals.
The subsequent wars between north kings and southern kings are also recorded history as wars between the Seleucid Greek and Ptolemaic Greek (Macedonian-Greek) of empires.
The Seleucid is where the forerunner (Antiochus IV Epiphanes) of the coming Antichrist arose. See "The Rise of the Antichrist" on Eschatology Today. Dr. Arnold Fruchtenbaum wrote that Antiochus IV Epiphanes and Antichrist is about a satanic bloodline.
Bro Steve,
