Israel at War: The Day of the Lord is Near: September 23, 2024
Obadiah 1:15
For the day of the LORD is near upon all the heathen: as thou hast done (to Israel), it shall be done unto thee: thy reward shall return upon thine own head.
About 30 years ago, I begin to preach about the Day of the Lord is Near as found in the Book of Obadiah. In my best selling book As America Has Done to Israel, I included a chapter about the Day of the Lord. The Day of the Lord is a reference in the Bible to the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. Obadiah gives a clear indicator to the immanent Second Coming of Jesus Christ. The key event is when Israel enters into an all-out battle with the Palestinians in which none of them survive.

I believe the Hamas attack on October 7, 2023, and the subsequent war was the trigger for the battle described in Obadiah. This blog will keep you on the cutting edge of events leading to proving the Day of the Lord is Near and soon Second Coming of Jesus Christ. This can be proved by the Bible.
Obadiah 1:18 And the house of Jacob shall be a fire, and the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau for stubble, and they shall kindle in them, and devour them; and there shall not be any remaining of the house of Esau; for the LORD hath spoken it.
Hamas even named the attack and war they started. It was call: Operation Al Aqsa Flood! This means the Temple Mount in Jerusalem! All the wars triggered by Hamas’ attack are heading towards Jerusalem where God will bring his final judgment on Islam. Incredible events are soon about to unfold, but if you understand Bible prophecy you know how it is going to end.

The UN’s Desire to Get Rid of the State of Israel
From article:”The UN has taken a keen interest in Israel, with more resolutions directed against this country than pretty much all others combined. The UN has a three-point program to get rid of Israel as a nation-state:
1. Inflate the number of Palestinian refugees to overwhelm the number of Jews living in Israel.
2. Provide all forms of support to Palestinian terror groups to help them inflict destruction on Israelis.
3. Rally the countries of the world against the Jewish state.”

From article:”“The fighters of the Islamic Resistance of Iraq targeted on Sunday morning a strategic location in the occupied territories using drones,” said the Iraqi coalition in a statement on Telegram, referring to Israel, and adding it was carried out “in support of our people in Gaza.” The same Iraqi group has claimed to have launched numerous drones at Israel amid the war in the Gaza Strip, most of which failed to cross Israel’s border or were downed by air defenses.”

The UN ordered the Jews out of the Old City.”
Israel’s War Cabinet Greenlights Offensive War Against Hezbollah, Sends Elite Brigade North There is no stopping the progression of the war. Right now the situation looks like Psalm 83 which will end with:
Psalm 83:17,18 Let them be confounded and troubled for ever; yea, let them be put to shame, and perish: That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth.
From article:”Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, IDF chief Herzi Halevi and other officials all issued statements Wednesday evening which appeared to suggest a full-on war with Hezbollah was brewing, hours after a wave of explosions of walkie-talkies and other communications devices used by Hezbollah members across Lebanon caused widespread casualties, echoing a similar attack a day earlier that targeted Hezbollah-issued pagers. The IDF also announced Wednesday that it was redeploying its 98th Division to northern Israel, after months of operations in the Gaza Strip under the Southern Command.”
UN General Assembly demands Israeli pullout from Palestinian areas within 12 months
From article:”The resolution called for Israel to “end without delay its unlawful presence” in “Occupied Palestinian Territory” within 12 months, including all soldiers and civilians. The resolution welcomed a July ruling by the International Court of Justice that said Israel’s control of Palestinian territories and settlements is illegal and should be withdrawn. The advisory by the highest United Nations court, also known as the World Court, said this should be done “as rapidly as possible,” while the General Assembly resolution imposed a 12-month deadline.”
Israeli Strike Decimates Hezbollah Military Leadership
From article:”Israel’s airstrike on a building in southern Beirut didn’t just kill a top Hezbollah commander—it took out an entire class of senior leaders of the militant group’s most elite fighting force, as the two foes lurch closer to all-out war. Hezbollah on Saturday raised the death toll among its fighters from Friday’s airstrike to 16, including top military commander Ibrahim Aqil and many of the senior commanders of the elite Radwan force. The strike on top leadership followed a pair of broad attacks on the group’s rank and file, when thousands of pagers and walkie-talkies that had been rigged with explosives blew up roughly simultaneously across the country.”
Israel’s war front shifts dramatically to north against Iran-backed Hezbollah terrorists
From article:”Israel Defense Forces (IDF) re-deployed its elite and battle-tested 98th Division from the southern war theater in Gaza against Hamas to the north, in a possible prelude to what some say could be a ground invasion to root out Hezbollah terrorists”
Netanyahu firm on new phase of Hezbollah war as UN warns of catastrophe
From article:”Israel on Friday stood firm on the need for a new and expanded phase of its almost year-long war with Hezbollah as the UN warned of catastrophe and the US called for diplomacy. “Our goals are clear, our actions speak for themselves,” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated. Defense Minister Yoav Gallant also underscored that point, explaining, “We will continue pursuing our enemies in order to defend our citizens – even in the Dahieh in Beirut. “The series of operations in the new phase of the war will continue until we achieve our goal: ensuring the safe return of Israel’s northern communities to their homes,” Gallant stated.”
Hezbollah confirms Radwan Force chief Ibrahim Aqil killed by IDF strike in Beirut
Lebanon warns Israeli invasion will be ‘doomsday’ Remember this war is over Jerusalem and Gaza. It appears this is the beginning of God’s judgment on the Gentile nations surrounding Israel. I also believe it is the time for God’s judgment on Islam.
From article:”“We are facing all the risks of an all-out regional conflict and that’s what we have been tirelessly trying to avoid,” he said, adding that Hezbollah had become a “formidable fighting force” in recent years and Israel should learn from history and its past “humiliating” defeats, such as an inconclusive month-long war it fought with the Shia group in 2006.“
Israel strikes Hezbollah targets in Lebanon after two rounds of device explosions
From article:”Israel launched a series of overnight strikes on sites in Lebanon where the Israeli military says Hezbollah terrorists operated. The strikes follow two waves of deadly electronic device explosions across Lebanon. The Israeli strikes targeted infrastructure sites in southern Lebanon, including the areas of Chihine, Tayibe, Blida, Meiss El Jabal, Aitaroun and Kfarkela, Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said Thursday. Israel also struck a Hezbollah weapons storage facility in Khiam. “The IDF will continue to operate against the threat of the Hezbollah terrorist organization in order to defend the State of Israel,”
Hezbollah’s pager op losses could lead to new phase of war
From article:”Hezbollah has condemned Israel for the strike, claiming “the treacherous and criminal enemy will definitely see retaliation for this sinful aggression,” talking up a “heavy price” that it says Israel will pay for the pager attack. Hezbollah and Iranian media characterized it as a “terrorist” attack. Al-Manar, the Hezbollah media arm, said the attack will “double our determination for jihad,” and Hezbollah itself added, “We will continue to support Gaza and its resistance and defend Lebanon, its nation, and its sovereignty.” THE FACT THAT the attack has affected so many Hezbollah men, including a member of Lebanon’s parliament and Iran’s ambassador to Lebanon, will put pressure on Iran and Hezbollah to respond, which could lead to a new phase of the war with Israel.”
Gallant compliments Mossad as devices explode across Lebanon
From article:”Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, in a speech about the situation in the North, explicitly complimented the Mossad, along with the entire defense establishment, for “great achievements” just as the region continued to convulse with news of devices exploding across Lebanon. Gallant did not take explicit credit, and Israel has been careful not to take public credit for the exploding beepers on Tuesday or the exploding devices on Wednesday, but the timing and juxtaposition of his rare mention of the Mossad along with the new round of explosions was striking.”
Additional Hezbollah devices explode across Lebanon
From article:”The Lebanese Civil Defense later stated it was operating to extinguish the fires that had broken out following the explosions in some 60 shops and homes, 15 vehicles, motorcycles, and two fingerprint devices. It added that ambulances were transferring the wounded to hospitals throughout the country…If true, this would be the second consecutive day of potential sabotage and explosions in Lebanon after around 3,000 mostly members of Hezbollah were wounded by exploding beepers on Tuesday. According to the reports, the explosions occurred at and in parallel to the funeral of four Hezbollah members in Lebanon. The funeral was live-streamed on X but ended abruptly. Unofficial reports claimed that iPhones, video cameras, IC-V82 radios, and other devices also detonated.”
$1 million offered to hold LGBTQ parade in Gaza

It’s not a publicity stunt. Our offer is real,” NTC President Gregory T. Angelo, who is gay and the former president of Log Cabin Republicans, said in a statement on the organization’s website.”
*Report: Iran Moving Hamas, Houthis into Iraq as Biden Admin Helplessly Watches
From article:”The Houthis, as a Shiite terrorist organization, has reportedly received an especially “warm” welcome from the Shiite terrorist coalition known as the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF), which became an official arm of the Iraqi armed forces during the war against the Sunni Islamic State “caliphate.” “Iraqi government officials quietly allowed both Iranian-backed armed groups [Hamas and the Houthis] to establish a more permanent presence in Baghdad early this summer,” the Times reported, claiming that “Iraqi officials deny publicly” this has occurred.”
Did Israel retaliate against Hezbollah for attempted assassination of ex-defense chief?
From article:”Dozens of members of Hezbollah were seriously wounded on Tuesday in Lebanon’s south and the southern suburbs of Beirut when the pagers they use to communicate exploded, security sources told Reuters…According to reports, the pagers were called before the explosion for some period of seconds to increase the chance that whoever received the call would pick it up and be maximally wounded. Shortly before the explosions, there were reports of a special meeting between Mossad Director David Barnea and Netanyahu. The news comes only hours after the Shin Bet revealed that Hezbollah recently attempted to assassinate a top former Israeli defense official in Tel Aviv.”
From article:”Palestinian journalist Majdi Abd Al-Wahhab called on Jordan’s King Abdullah II to “strike with an Iron fist” all the Islamic and Palestinian organizations that use Jordan’s territory to act against Israel and thereby endanger the kingdom of Jordan. The attack that took place last week (on September 8, 2024) at the Israel-Jordan border crossing, in which three Israeli civilians were killed, he said, as well as the rising strength of the Muslim Brotherhood (MB) party in Jordan, as indicated by the results of the recent parliamentary elections there,[1] and the reports on the smuggling of weapons from Jordan into the West Bank, require the kingdom to take steps against the Palestinian and Islamic organizations that jeopardize its security”
Iran’s New Plan: Lost Gaza, So Take West Bank
From article:”The main objective of Israel’s operation is to thwart Iran’s intention, with the help of the armed groups, to turn not only Gaza, but also the West Bank into another terror base to be used as part of the Islamists’ Jihad (holy war) to destroy Israel. The PA should applaud Israel’s security forces for pursuing the terrorists, rather than criticizing them. These armed groups, which refer to themselves to as “battalions,” pose a direct threat not only to Israel, but the PA as well. The gunmen have created their own state within a state in the areas under PA administration, openly contesting the PA’s legitimacy and making a mockery of its security forces.”
