An Historic Opportunity

One day, we will look back on this period in amazement. The odds have been so stacked against Israel, that many supporters have wondered if the Jewish state would survive. We’ve talked about this a lot before.

For many years, we have heard the propaganda that Hezbollah was such a strong force that it would take a miracle for Israel to survive. Remember the 150,000 stockpile of missiles and rockets? They would overwhelm Israel’s defenses.

Well, in actual fact, we have seen in the last month something very similar to the D-Day landings during World War 2. Hitler spent four years building the so-called Atlantic Wall, a concrete and steel boundary at the sea, for hundreds of miles.

The American Army breached it in about eight hours.

Israel has been no less impressive.

I watched a briefing this week from an Israeli general (reserves). He said that Hezbollah spent 20 years fortifying Lebanon, building intricate defenses and stockpiling a staggering number of weapons. “We crippled it in two weeks,” he said.

He suggested that he knows what retaliation Israel will opt for, but he can’t reveal it of course.

He also said that Israel has four possibilities to pursue:

• Striking Iran’s oil refineries
• Striking military targets
• Targeting Iranian leadership
• Destroying Iran’s nuclear capabilities.

Especially given what Israel has achieved in the last several weeks, I believe they can successfully do all four. But they are keeping everyone guessing, especially the Ayatollah and the mullahs. So successful has Israel been—since killing Hezbollah chief Nasrallah and his next two successors—Hezbollah is now asking for an unconditional ceasefire! Wow. They are afraid, and the fabled Arab swagger idiocy has melted away. Hezbollah is reeling and can’t regain its footing.

The general also revealed one more fascinating tidbit: within one year, Israel will not only be independent with regard to their own munitions and weapons, but they will be one of the biggest arms dealers in the world. It is astonishing.

Israel is accomplishing all this while fending off the truly evil Biden Regime. Joe Biden, a wholly corrupt and morally bankrupt creep, is openly threatening Israel. In a phone call this week, he implored Netanyahu not to strike Iran’s nuclear facilities, and accept a ceasefire. This would be like the Allies accepting an offer of ceasefire from Hitler on April 29, 1945, the day before he blew his brains out in utter defeat.

Israel, fully aware they are in an existential war, no longer consider how the world will look at their actions. After 30 years of Western evil trying to force further and further concessions on the Jewish state, they are taking the fight to their most lethal enemies. One other Israeli officer said this week that Israel is preparing to do something the Middle East has never seen before.

They are also serious now about clearing out terror nests within Israel, striking deep into Palestinian cities and towns. A recent foray into Tulkharm, only about 100 yards from Israel’s beautiful coastal city of Netanya, cleared out many terrorists.

Iran has also ordered various Palestinian terror proxies to resume homicide bombings, roadside bombs, knife and gun attacks. Make no mistake, Israel will finish all this once and for all.

Netanyahu told the Americans this week that Israel has an historic opportunity to deal finally with all their enemies. It is very much like June, 1967, and that is also the point the reserve general made during his briefing. Events are unfolding that are breaking in Israel’s favor. Meaning, the speed of Israel’s battlefield movements are presenting further opportunities to go much farther than anyone thought possible.Hezbollah has already pulled back across the Litani River, Israel’s original goal. Now the IDF sees a chance to finish them completely.

They must maintain this attitude, because there’s really no one that can stop them.

We will one day be just as amazed by Israel’s victory as we were in 1967. I truly believe we are witnessing a biblical-level Israeli army win.

What comes after this no one knows. For now though, let’s be grateful.

Savor this Time

I can’t help it. I grow more irritated with those that feel Bible prophecy teaching is about “new, previously hidden” Bible passages that promise some mind-blowing new revelation. Or fitting every single geopolitical moment into Ezekiel.

This irritates some, I’m sure. There is something in the human spirit that enjoys being titillated.

I will never understand why we can’t just stand in stunned reverence by Scripture itself. Shameless plug here, but like this.

It’s self-evident that nothing is as amazing as God Himself. His Word is the beginning and ending of revelation. One of the elements He chose to reveal to us is glimpses into the future. He alone knows the end from the beginning (Isaiah 46).

So it is that I saw yet another example of “previously unknown” (my phrase) insight from the Bible. Another guy that’s unlocked a message from God that the previous generations didn’t see over 2,000 years.

Nope.

I am focusing on revelation already given to us, then looking at the modern world.

This week was yet another calling to mind of God’s numerous biblical promises to the Jewish people, to preserve them forever. Against astonishing odds.

Therefore say to the Israelites, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: It is not for your sake, people of Israel, that I am going to do these things, but for the sake of my holy name, which you have profaned among the nations where you have gone. I will show the holiness of my great name, which has been profaned among the nations, the name you have profaned among them. Then the nations will know that I am the Lord, declares the Sovereign Lord, when I am proved holy through you before their eyes. Ezekiel 36:22-23

But for the sake of my name, I brought them out of Egypt. I did it to keep my name from being profaned in the eyes of the nations among whom they lived and in whose sight I had revealed myself to the Israelites. Ezekiel 20:9

So You led Your people, to make Yourself a glorious name. Isaiah 63:14

Nevertheless He saved them for His name’s sake, that He might make His mighty power known. Psalm 106:8

Morever, God promises in His Word to specifically save them body and soul in the last days of human history. We’ve seen some amazing stuff in the modern era, such as the Six Day War.

Now we are witnessing it again.

Israel’s intelligence community has made it possible for the IDF to find demonic enemies in ways that stun anyone paying attention. Days ago, Israel assassinated Sheik Nasrallah, the Hezbollah terror chief with oceans of blood on his hands. Then they killed his replacement!

Israel’s targeted killings have terrified Iran. One clue is, the goofier and more dramatic the mullahs’ rhetoric, the better Israel is performing. One report stated:

“Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian met on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York with Lebanese interim Prime Minister Najib Mikati. Pezeshkian said that if Muslim countries maintaining relations with Israel were to sever their economic ties with it, Israel would not be able to continue its ‘crimes.’ The Iranian president also criticized the political, economic, and military support of the United States for Israel, which he said enabled Israel to carry out its ‘criminal actions.’ Pezeshkian stressed that Iran is ready to provide any assistance to Lebanon.”

One can hear the desperation in Iran’s collective voice.

Then, in another example that we are heading toward apocalyptic times, Iran attacked Israel directly again (the first time in April) with a missile attack. This one upped the ante, as they sent over 200 (this time ballistic) missiles.

None had any impact! One killed a…Palestinian man in Jericho. Five Iranians died at a launch site when the thing blew up. No Israeli casualties.

Iran spent about $200 million for an utter failure.

So a vigorous missile attack is slapped down like a gnat. And then we have the planning for the Nasrallah killing to marvel at, as well.

As September 27 approached, Netanyahu met with his advisors and planned the attack on the man responsible for 241 dead American Marines in Beirut in 1983. Then the Israelis hatched what seems like a movie plot. Keeping up-to-the-minute with intelligence in Lebanon, Netanyahu then flew to the United States where he was to address the UN. On the plane, he continued to plan. Then in his hotel room he continued to plan! Just before entering the stage at the UN, he gave the greenlight to kill Nasrallah. A wave of IAF jets, each with bunker-busting bombs, rolled into Beirut.

You see, Nasrallah had been lured to his death. He felt that with Bibi out of the country and “preoccupied,” he’d be relatively safe enough to conduct a rare meeting of the Hezbollah chiefs.

Wrong.

In one fell swoop, Israel killed not only Nasrallah, but also the entire “brain”trust of the terror group. They’re all gone.

These recent events are as miraculous as anything Israel’s done since statehood. And you’re alive to see it.

Yes, we are living in strange and disturbing times. But we are also witnessing what many of us have longed for: a manifestation of the great end-times prophecies that will usher-in eternity.

What a great gift from God!

That’s why we don’t need the over-the-top research of people that feel we need some code broken or signs in the heavens to experience God’s moving in our world. We can just read Scripture as it is and pay attention to Israel.

Savor every day from here on out.
