Israel at War: The Day of the Lord is Near: June 15, 2025

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 35 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.

Zechariah 12:3 And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.
ISRAEL: Latest Update (The * is for the latest postings)
*Israel activates ‘Barak Magen’ aerial defenses for system’s first ever interception
From article:””It allows Israel to conduct interceptions at significant distances from the Israeli homeland, both out in the eastern Mediterranean and the Red Sea, and thereby adds critically important strategic depth when defending Israel’s tiny geographic area,” he said.”
*President Trump Issues Terrifying Warning: “Everyone Should Immediately Evacuate Tehran!”
From article:”President Trump on Monday said everyone should “immediately evacuate Tehran.” Iran should have signed the “deal” I told them to sign. What a shame, and waste of human life. Simply stated, IRAN CAN NOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON. I said it over and over again! Everyone should immediately evacuate Tehran!”
*Report: Pakistan ‘tells Iran they may nuke Israel’
From article:”Pakistan and Israel are two of the nine countries that currently possess nuclear weapons, according to experts. Rezaee claimed that Pakistan has vowed to ‘stand behind Iran’, and called on the Islamic world to unite against Israel. Today, Pakistan’s defence minister Khwaja Asif denied Rezaee’s claims, reportedly saying: ‘Pakistan is signatory to all international nuclear disciplines; our nuclear capability is for our people’s benefit and defence against hostile designs.’…he noted that the world appears to be teetering on the edge of conflict as a result of the escalating attacks in the Middle East. ‘[The] Western world must worry about conflicts generated by Israel. ‘It will engulf the whole region and beyond; their patronage of Israel, a rogue state, can have catastrophic consequences.'”
*Trump refuses to sign G7 statement amid split over Iran
From article:”That was unacceptable to Mr Trump, who is demanding that Iran is not allowed any uranium enrichment activity and who has been one of the most outspoken of Israel’s supporters. “I can confirm that he did not sign on to the statement,” said a senior US official.
From video:”Ambassador Huckabee addresses how President Trump is assisting Israel on their seven front War; what the latest development on talks with Iran are, especially with regards to stopping Iran’s funding of terror proxy groups and preventing Iran from having a nuclear bomb; what President Trump’s response is to those that would support a two state solution dividing Israel in light of the Jewish scripture Joel 3:2 that warns against dividing Israel;”
*Israel Just Ended China’s Great Power Status in the Middle East
From article:”
“There were some very, very relieved people in the Gulf as the sun rose this morning…. The Saudis know that China had armed their enemy Iran with nukes and lesser weapons and fully backed the Houthis, who have been waging war on the Kingdom for years.” — Jonathan Bass, Chief Executive Officer, Argent LNG, to Gatestone Institute, June 13, 2025.
- “The Chinese state is only as strong as its main energy provider, and that main energy provider, which so far has not been able to counter Israeli strikes, is unlikely to survive this war in its current form.” — Brandon Weichert, author of The Shadow War: Iran’s Quest for Supremacy, to Gatestone Institute, June 13, 2025.
- “With the loss of Syria and Hezbollah, Iran no longer has a command and control center in Damascus, only a two hour drive from Beirut. That means China can no longer manipulate events there.” — Jonathan Bass, to Gatestone Institute, June 13, 2025.
China has a Trump problem in the wider region as well. With the exception of Iran, almost everybody, including Iran’s partner Qatar, seems to love the American president. Trump took the Gulf by storm in his three-nation — Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates — trip in May.
*Egypt Detains Anti-Israel Activists Marching to Hamas-Controlled Gaza
From article:”Anti-Israel activists were reportedly detained recently by Egyptian officials during their planned march on Gaza over aid restrictions. Activists came from 80 countries to participate in the march, the Associated Press (AP) reported on Friday. Their journey came several months after Israel placed aid restrictions on the area controlled by the Hamas terrorist group.”
*Iranian ‘weapons group’ was close to mobilizing nuclear program
From article:”While Tehran already possessed enough enriched uranium for roughly 15 bombs, the weapons group had reached the experimental phase over the past months, with successful tests confirming rapid technical progress. Israel’s defense establishment concluded that the Islamic Republic was mere weeks away from being capable of assembling a working nuclear weapon, with warnings indicating that its true capabilities might even be further developed”
*The anti-Israel, pro-Iran faction on the right lost Trump This is an incredible article. Please, please take time to read it!
From article:”The other big loser in this struggle is a “woke right” faction of the conservative movement in the United States that opposes Israel and has been fervently opposed to any action to stop Iran from gaining nuclear weapons. More to the point, this rag-tag group of talk-show hosts, right-wing influencers and social-media gurus who can’t seem to mention Israel without betraying their antisemitic tendencies has lost President Donald Trump.
Whatever the ultimate outcome of this campaign turns out to be, the notion that Trump was an isolationist who would betray Israel—as those on the left and the woke right want the United States to do—has proved to be an antisemitic pipe dream. Tucker Carlson and his crowd had no influence on the first Trump administration’s historic pro-Israel policies. And, much to their consternation, they are having just as little impact on those of his second.”
*IDF official: Iran’s goal is an 8,000-missile arsenal to annihilate Israel
From article:”“Currently, the assessment entering this latest conflict a few days ago was that Iran has somewhere in the ballpark of 2000 missiles. We understand that they have a plan to achieve in the near future many more thousands of missiles—8,000 missiles. I just want you to imagine the attack Saturday night. That was just dozens of missiles. Imagine them having thousands of missiles.”
*Israel Bombs Iran’s State TV Studio During Live Broadcast Make sure you watch this video!
From article:”It comes after Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said that the “Iranian propaganda and incitement mouthpiece is on its way to disappearing.” The Iranian media said the explosion happened while a presenter was delivering a live on-air criticism of Israel. Moments later, she was seen leaving the broadcast, with footage of the incident widely circulated online. During the live broadcast, a reporter on Iranian state television remarked that the studio was filling with dust following “the sound of aggression against the homeland.” Moments later, an explosion struck, shattering the screen behind her as she rushed off camera. The channel then abruptly switched to prerecorded programming.”
*Iran Cries Uncle: Wants to End Israeli Attacks, Negotiate with Trump I don’t think the war is going to end this way. In Jeremiah 49:34-39, Elam (Iran) is totally destroyed.
From article:”Iran has sent messages to both Israel and the United States that it wants to end the war and to negotiate with President Donald Trump, and could give up its nuclear enrichment program to save the Iranian regime. Reports of Iran’s eagerness to end the fight came as Israeli fighters attacked regime institutions in the capital city of Tehran, including the state broadcaster, after achieving total dominance of Iranian airspace.”
From video:”Fox News senior strategist analyst Gen. Jack Keane breaks down Israel’s Operation Rising
Netanyahu reveals Iran marked Trump as ‘enemy number one’ with assassination plot
From article:””They want to kill him. He’s enemy number one. He’s a decisive leader. He never took the path that others took to try to bargain with them in a way that is weak, giving them basically a pathway to enrich uranium, which means a pathway to the bomb, padding it with billions and billions of dollars,” the prime minister told Fox News’ Bret Baier”
IDF targets Houthi Chief of Staff in Yemen strikes, military confirms to ‘Post”
From article:”The IDF conducted strikes in Yemen on Saturday night in an attempted targeted attack on senior Houthi military leader, Muhammad Abd al-Karim al-Ghamari, IDF sources confirmed to the Jerusalem Post. “We will soon know if it succeeded,” an Israeli source told The Jerusalem Post.

The road to Tehran has been paved: IDF secures air route for stronger strikes on Iran
From article:”Until approximately two years ago, the IAF faced severe limitations in operating over Lebanon and Syria. IDF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir’s statement on Saturday, saying “The road to Tehran has been paved” reflects the IDF’s present air dominance and signals a strategic shift. According to military officials, the pace of air operations is expected to accelerate.
Revealed: The Mossad’s secret drone base in Iran
From article:”New details have surfaced regarding the preparatory operations that facilitated Israel’s strike against Iran. Israeli military and intelligence forces collaborated extensively over several years, developing comprehensive intelligence dossiers necessary for executing the preemptive Israeli assault that is “Operation Rising Lion.” This preparations involved gathering detailed intelligence and conducting surveillance operations targeting senior Iranian security apparatus officials and nuclear scientists who were subsequently killed. These efforts ran parallel to a clandestine operational campaign aimed at undermining Iran’s strategic missile capabilities.”
Trump officials warned Macron: Do not insult him with Palestinian state
From article:”Here the Americans raised the tone, and in recent weeks, pressures reaching the level of real threats arrived at the Elysee Palace. According to an American source, in one of the conversations it was told to the French that if during the New York conference on US soil there would be recognition of a Palestinian state by even one Western country – this would be considered a personal insult to President Donald Trump. When the French response was not sufficient, the Americans made clear there would be a harsh response to this move. Here they understood the situation in Paris and began trying to cut their losses. Among other things, they held conversations and briefings in Israel with journalists, and tried to emphasize the positive side and recognition of Israeli demands.”
IAEA Declares Iran In Breach of Nuclear Obligations for First Time in Nearly 20 Years
From article:”The resolution passed on Thursday could pave the way for military action against Iran’s nuclear weapons program. The governing board of the IAEA found Iran guilty of “many failures to uphold its obligations since 2019 to provide the agency with full and timely cooperation regarding undeclared nuclear material and activities at multiple undeclared locations.” The board said Iran’s failure to cooperate “constitutes non-compliance with its obligations under its safeguards agreement with the agency.”
Trump warns Israel strike on Iran ‘could happen’ amid Middle East evacuation, nuclear negotiations
From article:”President Donald Trump on Thursday wouldn’t say an attack by Israel on Iran was imminent, but warned it “could happen” as the U.S. continues to pressure Tehran on a nuclear deal, but simultaneously prepares evacuations from the Middle East. “I don’t want to say imminent, but it looks like it’s something that could very well happen,” Trump said. “Look, it’s very simple, not complicated. Iran can not have a nuclear weapon. “Other than that, I want them to be successful,” he continued. “We’ll help them be successful, will trade with them. We’ll do whatever is necessary.” Trump said ultimately he’d “love to avoid the conflict,” but said that Iran is going to have to negotiate a “little bit tougher.”
