The terrorists had hoped that their actions on October 7 would be the beginning of the end for the Israeli regime. That didn’t happen. Their Plan B focused on getting world opinion against Israel as Hamas fought hard against them. That also didn’t pan out.
God is indeed taking note, and judgment will come one day soon. Until then, we will continue to grapple with Iran's schemes against the Jewish State. Will Iran strike Israel before Trump is inaugurated on January 20th? Iran knows that once Trump is in the Oval Office, he will rule with an iron fist, providing Israel with the full backing of the US. Iran is desperate. Will that translate into an attack on Israel in the coming days? Only God knows.
The greatest of all the end time signs is the existence of Israel. The “dry bones” have been regathered into a modern nation-state (Ezekiel 36-37) that continues to survive despite the concerted efforts of satanically inspired purveyors of hate.
The Prime Minister of the very country representing the 6 million Jewish victims of the Holocaust in general and the ones who died in Auschwitz, in particular, will be absent from the ceremony... but not by choice.
Though Jewish people always have confronted antisemitism, the United States has been a safe harbor for them. The recent, sharp rise in antisemitic incidents and the failure of many key American institutions to address this evil in their ranks demonstrate a marked shift in the country's view of the Jewish people.
The only leverage these broken-down, barely breathing barbarians have are the innocent lives of the people they stole from southern Israel 15 months ago. So, they’ll say whatever they need to say to win the hearts of a world that is desperate to find a reason to love them and hate Israel. But their words are disingenuous, so the fighting will go on.
From the unsettling proliferation of drone swarm technology that could foreshadow the Antichrist's future surveillance state, to Israel's increasing strength against its enemies, to Russia's concerning military escalation—we're seeing Bible prophecy align with current events in remarkable ways.
Not only does this prophecy pinpoint the exact time the Messiah would be on Earth, but it also reaches thousands of years into the future to describe end-times events still on the horizon, including a unique time of horror and judgment known as the Great Tribulation, as well as God’s final deliverance of a redeemed Israel.
It’s becoming increasingly popular in churches today to assert that God has replaced Israel with the church. Some believe that the Lord rejected Israel, while others see the church as somehow the spiritual fulfillment of the kingdom promises made to Israel. I have many problems with such teaching, starting with the words of Paul in Romans 11:1-2...
Yemen has now become very crucial to Iran's overall strategy, which has unraveled over the past few weeks. We now have four rings on that Iranian ring of fire—really the main four—largely out of commission. This turn of events makes Yemen and the Houthis even more important to the Ayatollahs. They, in some respects, are the last man standing.
An interesting mappa mundi (a medieval map of the world) is kept in the National Library of Israel in Jerusalem. With Jerusalem as the center, The World in a Cloverleaf features three cloverleaves representing Asia, Africa, and Europe. Highlighted in the center of the map is Jerusalem, demonstrating that Israel is the bridge between the three continents.
Satanic deception fuels the notion that Jewish people stand in the way of the world’s redemption. Satan wants to convince humanity to hate Israel and the Jewish people as an imperative, righteous mission to save the world from Jewish influence.
Not only have we witnessed the fall of the Assad regime in less than two weeks, but we have also seen the ruins of Hamas and the destruction of Hezbollah commanders, along with over 80% of its missiles. Billions of dollars spent by the Iranian regime to fund terror with the intent of destroying Israel have literally gone up in smoke.
It’s true, we are not officially at peace.
There is still fighting going on in Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, and the West Bank. However, for the most part, the action is taking place outside our borders with very few aerial or ground terrorist attacks. I can’t say that it is back to how it was before the black day of October 7, 2023. It can never again be how it used to be. In some ways we are better off now than we were then. In others, we are worse.
The Palestinian Jesus was borne out of a faulty theology known as Christian Palestinianism. It is the same theology promoted by the creators of "Christ at the Checkpoint." The agenda aims at re-writing history to take everything Jewish out of the Bible, including Jesus' Jewish heritage and identity.
Despite al-Jolani's threat on Saturday, Israel continued on Sunday with a massive barrage against targets in Syria near the Mediterranean coast. Israel used what is being called by major media outlets globally an "earthquake bomb." Whether its first use by Israel was on Sunday or possibly previously in Beirut, this was at least the first public unveiling. It registered on the Richter scale and caused a significant mushroom cloud.
The apostle Paul did not want the church to “be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own opinion, that blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in” (Romans 11:25). Paul knew, and we know today, that Israel’s people are in the land in unbelief. But one day God will breathe into His people the breath of spiritual life (Ezekiel 37:14)
These times are historic. Ever since October 7, we’ve constantly reminded ourselves “…but God is still on the throne.” This past week, He reminded us that He was there all along working and maneuvering. Then, when the timing was right – Bam! – He stepped in and did something marvelous before our eyes.
The unbiblical claims underpinning the display are hard to miss: The often-repeated assertion that Jesus was "Palestinian" and the implication that if Christ were walking the earth today, He would be standing on the side of brutal terrorists who began the war by massacring 1,200 of His Jewish brethren.
Damascus, which is seated in close proximity to Israel's northern border and holds the title of the world's oldest continuously inhabited city, however, is incredibly consequential for the Jewish State as well as Bible-believing Christians. According to Isaiah 17:1, a day is coming when Syria's capitol will be destroyed in its entirety...
As believers, we can easily take the 3 D Test and identify Demonizing, Delegitimizing, or Double Standards. The challenge remains to do something about it, especially at a time when Jewish people do not know where to turn for help. The "3 D Test" is not the hard one. Can believers take the 3 P Test and pass it with flying colors? The 3Ps stand for Pray, Promote, and Provide.
Damascus is a city that the Bible predicts will be decimated (Isaiah 17:1). Widening out from the city itself, we can also see that Syria, which has been a bitter enemy of Israel since 1948, isn’t mentioned among the nations in the future war of Gog from the land of Magog described in Ezekiel 38. Ultimately, what we learn relating to the nation to Israel’s north is that Damascus must fall.
Donald Trump took a lot of flack over his decision to move the US Embassy. When you move the US Embassy to Jerusalem, you are acknowledging the fact that Jerusalem is Israel's Capital. That recognition is unacceptable to the world—despite what the God of the universe and history declares.
The hate Hamas cultivated inside of Gaza manifested on October 7, 2023, when Hamas invaded southern Israel, killing more than 1,200 innocent Israelis and migrant workers from other countries. Why? Because it hates the Jewish people and believes the land they bought and cultivated for decades belongs to Palestinians. Stripping away deceptive media and emotion, we see Israel grow in love and Hamas in hate.
Our globalist Canadian Prime Minister has chosen to stand with an ICC decision driven by antisemitism rather than stand up for Israel, the only democratic country in the Middle East that protects the same freedoms and values that Canada enjoys here in the West. Contrary to what Trudeau says and what we're currently seeing in our country, this is not who we are as Canadians.
Down in Israel the residents of north still aren’t able to go home, nor will they be able to until it is assured that the threat directly across the border has been dealt with. It had looked like we were well on the way to making that happen. But all that progress is being reversed.
The Bible tells us there must be a seven-year period when God again turns His attention to the Jewish people and Jerusalem. The length of this still future time comes the prophet Daniel who specified seventy weeks of years during which time the Lord will complete His redemptive purposes for choosing Israel (Daniel 9:24-27).
People worldwide consult Wikipedia, like the “Bible,” for factual truth and historical accuracy. A simple overview of its agenda-driven revisions on Zionism, Jewishness, and Palestine will suffice to prove otherwise. Rest assured that more revisions will be added.
The ICC ruling is blatantly anti-semitic, Smith asserted, adding that "it is one of the worst marks on them imaginable to indict a sitting prime minister who is defending his country against aggression. It's demonic, and we need to call it out."
Israel does not—Israel will not—recognize the validity of this decision. We will continue to do everything we must do to defend our citizens and defend our state against Iran's axis of terror—Iran and its terrorist proxies, which include Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis, and others. No biased antisemitic decision in the Hague will prevent the State of Israel from defending its citizens.
With the new sheriff making his way to town, the tide in Washington is definitely turning Israel’s way. Iran is “just a short, technical step away from weapons-grade levels of 90%.” And, if the IAEA is only now getting around to admitting to this, we can be assured that they’ve had weapons-grade uranium for months now.
Thankfully the pro-Israel stance of the incoming US administration will be able to mitigate some of the damage done by Australia at the UN. However, this latest act affirms that our Australian government is spiritually blind and ignorant to the dangers of its position under God’s clear declaration in Genesis 12:3.
Since the Israel-Hamas war began, Christians must understand the spiritual dimension to Hamas’s brutal attack and hatred of the Jews. This war is more than a political conflict. It’s a spiritual battle between God and Satan that takes shape in the human realm.
"1917 was a miracle, 1948 was a miracle, 1967 was a miracle, 2017, the Declaration of Jerusalem as the capital, was a miracle, and there's no reason why the miracle of the re-establishment of the Temple on the Temple Mount is not possible... Take your action, do what needs to be done here in Israel because I truly believe this is a moment where America will have your back."
"The attacks in Amsterdam last Thursday night, reminiscent of Nazi-era pogroms, are the direct result of the 'Globalize the Intifada' movement that anti-Israel protesters have been championing for over a year. This slogan isn’t just a catchy chant; it’s a blatant call for violence against Jews, mirroring the atrocities of the First and Second Palestinian Intifadas."
It has been three weeks since the Israeli Air Force struck sensitive military sites in retaliation for Iran launching the largest ballistic missile barrage in military history against Israel. Now, weeks later, we are learning that this Israeli counterstrike against Iran was far more painful for the Iranian regime than we initially knew.
By definition, anti-Zionism delegitimizes Israel. Just consider that the movement’s proposed solution to their complaints is not the end of Israeli policies they dislike but the destruction of Israel itself. For proof, look no further than their well-worn protest chant, “From the River to the Sea, Palestine will be free!” Free from whom? Free from the Jews.
Europe has been Islamicized. Does that matter? Maybe we should ask the Jews who were in Amsterdam Friday night. Following a football game, fans of the Israeli team, Maccabi Tel Aviv, made their way back to their hotels. But a mass of Muslims were waiting for them. When the Israelis exited their public transportation, they were attacked. Many were beaten, some were stabbed. It was horrific, lasting about five hours.
I'm sure that many of you have heard of the horrifying attacks on Israeli soccer fans in Amsterdam last Thursday. An antisemitism watch group has found that the attacks on Israeli Jews in the Netherlands were "orchestrated online using social media platforms including Instagram and telegram."
In Mississauga, Ontario, a "Lest We Forget" vigil has been planned for the 26th of November, commemorating 40 days since the "martyrdom" of Yahya Sinwar, the leader of Hamas who was the mastermind behind the October 7th massacre of 1,200 Israelis.
Many of America’s mainline denominations began playing this theological Jenga in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Having rejected fundamental Christian doctrines, they pulled down many denominational towers. What’s left of their milquetoast doctrine is motivated more by trending notions of social justice than “thus saith the Lord.”
Those who don’t believe that we live in the last days often say that we interpret prophecy “with a newspaper in one hand and the Bible in the other.” My response to such a claim might be this: “How can you not see Bible prophecy unfolding in the world around us apart from an unbelief in what Scripture reveals about our day?”
Just as Pharaoh was given many opportunities to make the right choice, Hamas also has been offered opportunities to act humanely. But, like Pharaoh, the terrorists have hardened their hearts, intent on bringing suffering to others—and to themselves.
The atrocities committed by Hamas on October 7 were straight out of the Nazi playbook. The vocal and violent response against Israel and the Jewish people all around the globe has been off the charts, making me fear that we could experience Kristallnacht again, but this time…on steroids...and then Amsterdam.
"We are receiving very disturbing reports of extreme violence against Israelis and Jews on the streets of Holland. There is a pogrom currently taking place in Europe in 2024. These are the true faces of the supporters of the radical terrorism we are fighting. The Western world needs to wake up now!"
You cannot imagine the relief that most here in Israel feel after Tuesday’s election. Across all economic classes, races, backgrounds, and the only two genders that exist, American citizens voted for the unborn. They voted for safe borders. They voted for family values. And they voted to support Israel. Those of us on the east coast of the Mediterranean were watching.
"After firmly addressing the UN leadership, the exhibition was fixed, and these antisemitic drawings were removed from the walls. We will stand for [truth], and each time we witness antisemitism or hypocrisy, we will confront them head-on."
Whether the Arab states like it or not, while ever their religious texts inspire hatred of Jews, Israelis will be rightfully cautious about allowing the wolf to lie beside the lamb. Whether or not the latest Saudi proposal will be a steppingstone to the framework developed by the Antichrist remains to be seen. However, what it does is reinforce the fact that the world is desperate for peace.
Our adversary knows Bible prophecy and recognizes that his time is short. As such, he’s already planting seeds of deadly violence throughout the world that will bear much fruit during the Tribulation.
As Christians, we must also recognize that even if Israel had taken out Iran's nuclear facilities, ballistic missiles, and Tehran's present-day leadership, Bible prophecy tells us that Iran will still live to attack Israel another day.
We have the same God over us as our ancestors had when they crossed the Red Sea and when they stood strong against the Assyrian army. Nothing has changed in the Lord’s heart since the day He told Abraham that He would make him into a great nation and would bless those who blessed him and curse those who cursed him.
Following the Oct. 7 massacre and commencement of the war, the group claims their eyes have been opened to the dark and disturbing "facts" about Israel. All of the supposed revelations echo those long cranked out of the propaganda arms of terrorist organizations and antisemitic conspiracists.
We have the 104th Congress of the United States recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, the 45th President of the United States recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, and more importantly, the God of creation recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. But now, apparently, a major U.S. network, wanting to inform the American audience, is telling its staff not to refer to Jerusalem as being in Israel.
Haj Amin al-Husseini, the grand mufti of Jerusalem, befriended Adolf Hitler and proudly supported Nazism. He and Hitler shared a hatred of the Jewish people. The grand mufti “turned the Arab-Jewish dispute from a resolvable conflict over land to an irresolvable conflict over religion.”1 This development gave birth to Palestinianism, the ideology and movement based on the erroneous belief that Eretz Yisrael belongs to the Arabs.
While the attack was carried out by Hezbollah, there is credible evidence that Iran was behind it. Thus, no one should be surprised that the Islamic regime quickly tried to cover its failure with bravado saying that there would be major destruction to Israel if Netanyahu’s people came after Supreme Leader Khamenei.
What we are seeing are all stepping stones leading up to Daniel's prophecy in chapter nine, verse twenty-seven. In this passage, we are told that there will be a leader one day that the Bible calls in other areas of scripture "the Antichrist." He will confirm a covenant one day, a peace treaty, with the House of Israel for seven years. However, the antichrist's peace will be a false peace.
Many Jews just lack a loyalty to Judaism and Israel. They actually have MORE loyalty to liberalism than to the Jewish State or their heritage. Secularism leads to terrible choices!
The horsemen would not have had any idea of the prophetic implications of their charge. But through dusty trails, starving horsemen and thirsty horses, God performed a miracle, eventually leading to the re-establishment of the State of Israel just as He declared He would do.
If not such a serious matter of keeping Israel from the dastardly plans of the likes of Iran’s regime leaders, it would be hilarious to consider the paranoid reaction Israel’s “magical” doings have inflicted on those devoted to the destruction of the Jewish state and people.
China, which has long sought to expand its influence in the Middle East, touted the agreement as a diplomatic victory to enhance its image as a champion of the Palestinian cause. However, the deal is unlikely to succeed...
After all the tracking of Yahya Sinwar, the leader of Hamas, and all the targeted attempts on his life that had to be aborted due to him surrounding himself with our hostages, it took a Rafah-based soldier firing a mortar shell at three random targets to kill this murderer. It reminds me of the death of King Ahab with the random shot of a bow. This is truly God’s work!
I am amazed at how ignorant people can be when it comes to Israel. It is especially shocking when this level of ignorance comes from those who should know better and are supposed to be reporting the truth—unbiased, with facts. It is sad to say that that is not the case among much of the media.
The Australian journalist compared the privilege of being able to sit with Mr. Netanyahu to what it would have been like for journalists during World War II to sit with Prime Minster Winston Churchill at the height of England's conflict with Nazi Germany. How appropriate this comparison is at this important time cannot be understated.
People will say the Israelis are occupiers who have taken land that belonged to someone else, but the Jews are indigenous to this region. This is their land that God gave to them. They haven’t even occupied all the land that God gave them. They are not the occupiers or colonizers as some like to accuse them of being.
Iran, up till now, had two main deterrents: Hezbollah and their ballistic missiles. However, over the last month, Israel has efficiently been neutralizing Hezbollah and has also been able to capture most of the ballistic missile barrages fired into Israel. For Iran, they now only wield one possible deterrent, the "nuclear option."
Although they would fail to admit it publicly, there is no doubt that the head of the terror octopus (Iran) would be very surprised at how quickly Israel is effectively dealing with its terror proxy tentacles. Even though both Hamas and Hezbollah have invested decades and billions of dollars into its terror infrastructure, Israel is dismantling it all with far less difficulty than anybody imagined. Undoubtedly, God deserves the glory.
