Global SITREP B9-25: Sooner Rather Than Later

 

Sooner Rather Than Later...

UPDATED 31 October 2025: The above image illustrates the near future, envisioning the building of the Third Temple. How near is this envisioned future? Sooner than most people have yet to consider its nearness. 

Certainly, it will follow the end of the ongoing war in Gaza which is currently in hiatus at the insistence of an American president. And the ongoing yet unfinished war in Lebanon versus the radical Shi'a militias and now, with a high probability, versus the army of the current government of Lebanon itself (Joshua 13:1-7). And the long unfinished war with Syria and the dissolution of that state (Isaiah 17), in addition to the fulfillment of Isaiah 11:14 which is directly connected to the Gaza war. In fact, all three of these prophetic verses are inclusive of each other because they all come from the same source, the LORD God. Tying all of these together is the prophet Ezekiel who also received the word of the LORD and spoke it in Ezekiel 28:24-26. 

None of this is new to longtime reader of Eschatology Today, but as with all of Scripture is bears repeating and repeating again until the Harpazo removes us and the Restrainer from this world. We're in the midst of a flood, albeit one that that has the appearance of a trickle at times, yet we are assured the LORD keeps His Covenants and His appointments.

2 November 2025: Indications and Warnings (I&W) concerning renewed warfare on Israel's periphery, while forecast months ago on Eschatology Today (we fully understand the jihadist' objectives and battle rhythms) are now present in most media outlets.

Despite the Trump Administration's repeated denials on the application of the Judea and Samaria sovereignty initiative in the Knesset, the facts within PA-controlled areas of the same region paint an entirely different future. 

The dictatorship of PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas is facing a near-term Arab overthrow. Polling done by a Ramallah organization reveals that 80% of Arabs in PA-controlled cities simply want Abbas gone and a type of the late-Yahya Sinwar as his replacement. In sum, the Arabs within Judea and Samaria want HAMAS rule. 77% also want HAMAS to remain in Gaza. These Arabs don't want a new intifada, they want full-scale jihad against Israel.

To the north an unambiguous warning from Israel has been delivered to President Aoun's increasingly bellicose government over its "feet dragging" to disarm Hezbollah and remove all traces of the Shi'a jihadists to northern Lebanon. Intel coming from the U.S. Ambassador (which originates from within the USIC) reveals Hezbollah's fighting forces number 40,000 and a refurbished rocket arsenal aimed at northern Israeli communities of 25,000 to 30,000. Instead of relocating Hezbollah north of the Litani River the Lebanese Army is deploying southwards to confront the IDF. The Lebanese government is preferential to conflict with Israel vice civil war with Hezbollah - a no-win scenario to be sure.

We are all well aware of the Lord's prophetic word, of its inevitability. What is quite evident now are the possible - if not probable - catalysts to literal fulfillment.

UPDATE 5 November 2025: A detailed exsum of the ALMA Center assessment of Hezbollah's reconstitution by the IRGC-Quds Force begins with these two graphics.

This map indicates the IRGC-QF clandestine use of Suakin Port, 50 km south of Port Sudan, which connects to a overland-bridge crossing Egypt to a final maritime leg to Beirut, Lebanon. Think Ezekiel 38/39 where Persia, Kuwsh and Put are noted.

This graphic illustrates the various AORs of Hezbollah's subunits in southern Lebanon (Aziz and Nasr) and the Badr unit north of the Litani River, plus the strategic depth afforded by the Beqaa Valley. This prophetically is related directly to Joshua 13:5.

UPDATE 12 November 2025: The USS Ford (CVN-78) Carrier Strike Group 12 (CSG-12) arrived on station in the SOUTHCOM AOR yesterday. CVN-78 has Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 8 embarked. CSG-12 also  includes USS Bainbridge (DDG 96), USS Mahan (DDG 72), and the integrated air and missile defense command ship USS Winston S. Churchill (DDG 81).

Back-to-back X-class solar flares and CMEs resulted in the magnificent red and green aurora seen last evening/this morning over Cheyenne, Wyoming. This set of auroras have the appearance of a type of cosmic rainbow to my eyes.

UPDATE 16 November 2025: The prophetic Word of God often comes to fulfillment in ways and by means no human being can fathom beforehand. This, by all appearances, appears to be the present situation. The Trump Administration has placed itself in league with Muslim/Islamic nations who worship a false god. The Abraham Accords are an attempt to legitimize and place on equal footing the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob with a false god and which denies the purely divine nature of Jesus the Christ (Yeshua HaMashiach). Hailed by many the world over as a pathway to peace for several years now, it has always had hidden within it what can now be clearly seen as a man-made counter to the Will of God regarding the restoration and redemption of Israel in the land given to Israel's fathers.

On this basis the Trump Administration has taken to the United Nations for a vote to legitimize the division of the God-given Land Covenant. As of this morning the key members of Israel's cabinet met and made an unequivocal statement that there will not be any pathway to the creation of a "Palestinian State" west of the Jordan River. There is also now a hard point of division between the foreign policy of the United States and that of the State of Israel which never existed previously. Push is rapidly coming to shove. The passage of the United Nation vote is reportedly assured due to the majority of islamic nations that are in support of it - simply because they see it as a definitive path to the destruction of the State of Israel.

Will a firm rejection by Israel of the United Nations Security Council vote to partition Eretz Israel not result in a war with the "pricking briars" of the enemy nations all around? The Trump proposal should receive at least nine votes of the fifteen UNSC member nations to secure its passage. Eschatology Today cannot see how such a war can be avoided due to the fact that all of the Lord's prophets have foretold it, Asaph, Isaiah and Ezekiel in particular, as well as the specific results that will come out of such a war. This situation, as currently understood, has major implications for an epic prophetic convergence. 

This SITREP is completed.

Global SITREP B6-18: Jerusalem and the Temple Mount

U.S. Ambassador with image of prophetic Jerusalem

23 May 2018: Islamists like having their way in almost every conceivable venue. However, when it comes to imagery of currently non-existent realities, not so much. 

This is especially true when it comes to U.S. Ambassador David Friedman who had his smiling visage captured while standing next to a large modern-day portrait of the City of Jerusalem. This Jerusalem does not yet exist because it illustrates the Temple Mount minus the Dome of the Rock and the al-Aqsa Mosque. This image was enough for one of Mahmoud Abbas' innermost circle to refer to our Ambassador as a "terrorist settler."

Take a closer look by clicking on the image above. You'll notice that while the two aforementioned structures are absent, the very and imminently prophetic Third Temple is very much present in the very center (heart) of the portrait. 

This is not a new image. There have been dozens of these produced over the years. Eschatology Today published one of them back in January 2014 at the head of a post entitled "All These Things Be Fulfilled." What is new at this time is that the U.S. Ambassador, fresh from his newly opened U.S. Embassy residence in Jerusalem, has had his smiling image taken standing next to one. 

Every picture is worth a thousand words, but this image is speaking volumes, especially with the United States Government representative to Israel appearing as he does with it. Altogether this image conveys official U.S. Government sanction to the portrait and what it depicts. Some will call this inflammatory. Eschatology Today will call it eminently prophetic as this image will shortly become the fact-of-the-matter for the Jerusalem and Temple Mount skyline.

How would it become the fact-of-the-matter reality as prophesied in God's Word? It is the assessment of Eschatology Today that Iran is the unspoken key. Iran's military presence in Syria is the key to a lot of unfolding prophetic fulfillment. If Iran were not in Syria, Israel would have no over-riding interest in Syria and no reason to conduct preemptive strikes anywhere on Syrian territory. 

However, the current military fact is that as long as Iran is in Syria, then Israel MUST continue to launch heavy preemptive strikes on all of its military assets and personnel. There is no other option for Israel. And any one of the coming strikes could be the ignition point for the warfighting that would eventually reach Jerusalem and the Temple Mount.
