Israel at War: The Day of the Lord is Near: October 22, 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.

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)
*General Who Predicted Lebanon War: Israel’s Strike on Iran Will Be ‘Fierce’
From article:”Israel’s planned attack on Iran will mark the “beginning of a war” that will last “many months,” retired Israel Defense Forces Brig. Gen. Amir Avivi told ABC News. Israel’s war with Hezbollah had gone incredibly well and the IDF had surpassed its own expectations . Israel’s retaliatory strike on Iran will be “fierce and strong and very surprising” when it happens, he said.”
*With eyes on winning war, building third Jewish Temple, Ark replica shown in Jerusalem This is a must read article! Israel has just finished building a replica of the Ark of the Covenant. The timing is perfect for after this war, Israel will build the third temple for the Tribulation period! What a prophetic time we are living in.
From article:”Jake hopes the replica ark can be used more formally in the current war. “We would like to bring it to a number of military camps,” he told attendees. “The original idea was to actually bring it physically into Gaza, but we are running into some administrative challenges.”
*Backed by Iran, ‘Axis of Resistance’ Terror Groups Target Israel
From article:”The axis now includes the terror groups Hamas in Gaza, Hezbollah in Lebanon, and the Houthis in Yemen, as well as insurgent militia groups in Iraq, government forces in Syria, and Iran itself. Axis powers frequently share weapons and funding as they work jointly towards the destruction of Israel in a manner that has allowed them to overcome even Sunni-Shia distinctions and regional factionalism.”
*Netanyahu Ignored Kamala Harris’ Advice and Won a Stunning Victory Against Hamas
*Hezbollah’s gold mine catches fire: Nasrallah’s bunker under hospital held half billion dollars
From article:”One of his bunkers was located beneath the Al-Sahel Hospital and was used as Nasrallah’s emergency bunker, according to the IDF. An N12 report said that it serves as Hezbollah’s central money warehouse, where the vast majority of the organization’s money stolen from Lebanese citizens and used for terrorism is hidden.”
Strikes rock Beirut as Israel targets group financing Hezbollah activity
From article:”Planes keep flying as Israel reported to hit Hezbollah stronghold near Beirut airport and in Beqaa Valley, after civilians warned * UNIFIL says IDF bulldozed peacekeeper post”
Iran’s FM believes he can wage war against Israel and not receive any pushback This is an excellent article.
From article:”Araghchi also threatened the US, a member of NATO alongside Ankara, during his remarks in Turkey. “For us, the US is allied with the Zionists, and if a large-scale war happens in the region, the US will be dragged into it as well, and we do not want this at all.” The ties between Turkey and Iran appear to be tightening in terms of coordinating with Hamas and Hezbollah. Iran and Turkey both back Hamas, Ankara hosts Hamas leaders and members, and Tehran backs Hezbollah. With Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar dead, Turkey may increasingly seek to take the reins of Hamas and influence its leadership in terms of the wider war on Israel, which Iran is leading across the region. Turkey is also a close ally of Qatar, where the rest of the Hamas leadership lives. Qatar is a major non-NATO ally of the US.”
Skies crowded with drones: Ex-air defense commander warns of gaps in Israeli defenses
From article:”On Hezbollah’s tactics, Chaimovitz explained, “We’ve been able to track certain patterns after several incidents. One of their methods is to combine rocket fire with drones, creating saturation and deception. This increases the chances of at least one drone reaching its target. The skies are crowded with missiles, rockets, and our interceptors, which makes the situation more complex and challenging for our defenses.”
Nasrallah made assumptions about Israel – and it cost him his life
From article:”Nasrallah’s assumption was straightforward: he believed Israel would not expand the war against Hezbollah or launch a ground maneuver in Lebanon as long as Hamas held 101 hostages in Gaza and the 162nd Division was still fighting in the Strip. It seems Nasrallah thought that if Israel’s policy toward Hezbollah were to change, there would be clear signs, and he would notice them. He believed he could detect early indicators of a ground invasion, such as IDF preparations along the border and movements of Lebanese civilians. But the IDF, understanding his thought process, deliberately changed the sequence of actions to confuse him—a move that paid off.”
‘It’s real’: Kamala Harris appears to say Israel committing genocide in Gaza
From article:””I respect your right to speak. I’m speaking right now, I know what you’re speaking of. I want the ceasefire. I want the war to end.” The male student, who is wearing a keffiyeh, continues to ask her about the genocide while pushing through the crowd towards Harris. Harris then gestures to the student as he is escorted out of the room by security and says to the crowd, “Listen, what he’s talking about, it’s real. It’s real. That’s not the subject that I came to discuss today, but it’s real, and I respect his voice.”
Leaked US Intelligence Documents Related To Israel’s Attack Preparations On Iran Appear Online
From article:”Axios report suggests their authenticity: “U.S. officials are extremely concerned about a potentially major security breach after two alleged U.S. intelligence documents about Israel’s preparations for an attack on Iran were published by a Telegram account affiliated with Iran,” Barak Ravid, who maintains close Israeli military and intelligence sources, writes.”
Russia tells Israel to not even consider attacking Iranian nuclear facilities, TASS says
From article:””We have repeatedly warned and continue to warn, to caution (Israel) against even hypothetically considering the possibility of a strike on (Iranian) nuclear facilities and nuclear infrastructure,” Ryabkov was quoted by TASS as saying. “This would be a catastrophic development and a complete negation of all existing principles in the area of ensuring nuclear safety.”
*A drone targets the Israeli prime minister’s house while strikes in Gaza kill more than 50
From article:”Israel’s military said dozens of projectiles were launched from Lebanon a day after Hezbollah announced a new phase in fighting. Netanyahu’s office said the drone targeted his house in the Mediterranean coastal town of Caesarea. Neither he nor his wife were there. It wasn’t clear if the house was hit.
Netanyahu says IDF found ‘state-of-the-art’ Russian arms in Hezbollah bases
From article:”Netanyahu spoke to Le Figaro newspaper, highlighting that under a 2006 UN Security Council resolution only the Lebanese army was allowed to have weapons south of the country’s key Litani River. “However, in this area, Hezbollah has dug hundreds of tunnels and caches, where we have just found a quantity of state-of-the-art Russian weapons,” the French article quoted Netanyahu as saying.”
Officials to ‘Post’: Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar killed in Rafah, Gaza Strip
From article:”Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar was killed by the IDF in Rafah on Wednesday in an unplanned operation, sources close to the matter confirmed to The Jerusalem Post Thursday evening, several hours after rumors arose that he had been killed earlier Thursday.

Inside Israel’s secret 20-year plan to strike Iran: Advanced weapons unveiled
From article:”In light of these challenges, Israel’s defense forces have spent 20 years preparing for a possible strike on Iran, investing billions of dollars and shekels. This investment includes developing specialized munitions, some of which even the U.S. declined to sell to Israel, as well as innovations not available to the U.S.”
Pentagon’s private letter to Gallant, Dermer about possible arms embargo leaked to Israeli media
From article:”In conversations with Gallant, Austin also “reinforced the importance of Israel taking all necessary measures to ensure the safety and security of UN peacekeeping forces and Lebanese armed forces” and the need to “pivot away from military operations in Lebanon to a diplomatic pathway to provide security for civilians on both sides of the border.”
From article:””What price tag would you put on Palestine? How much are Palestine, Jerusalem, and the Al-Aqsa Mosque worth to you? With these issues, if you start putting a price on them, you’d better stay home.” In Ten Years, People Will Say: “May Allah Be With The People Who Launched Al-Aqsa Flood, Because They Wrote The First Line In The Story Of The End Of Israel”
“The Al-Aqsa Flood, which was the culmination of a developing sequence of operations, which led to the opening of a big war with the occupation is laying the foundation for the liberation which requires a very large war with the occupation. You cannot lay the foundation for a war of liberation by burning firewood. You need a war of this size to lay the foundation for liberation. “If our Lord allows us to live that long, I do not think that Israel will be on the map of the region in ten years. The people will then say: ‘May Allah be pleased with the people who launched the Al-Aqsa Flood, because they wrote the first line in the story of the end of Israel.'”
Israeli CEO Says Country’s Ability to Survive, Sometimes Thrive, During War Has Biblical Roots
From article:””Its roots are in the Bible, its roots are in prophecy,” he told us. “And it’s prophecy coming true when you realize that the Jewish people, the indigenous people of this land, have come home after 2000 years of wandering – have ingathered the exiles.” Medved believes this biblical mission drives Israel. “We’re a significant country, one of the strongest countries in the world in terms of our ability to defend ourselves, leading the world in many areas of technology – helping to cure cancer, helping to feed the planet – because we view our destiny and our mission is not just to survive,” he noted. “Survival is critical, but we need to contribute to the world. We need to build the world. We need to help fix things. It’s called tikkun olam.” It’s a resilience that survived the Holocaust.”
How Significant Is Washington’s THAAD Deployment To Israel?
From article:”The Pentagon confirmed that it’ll dispatch nearly 100 troops to Israel to operate one of its premier air defense systems, the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD), of which it only has seven in total. This comes ahead of Israel’s expected retaliation to Iran’s latest missile strike on the first of the month that it carried out to restore deterrence after the assassination of Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran and Hezbollah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah in Beirut. Here’s what this latest US move signifies:
1. Israel Is Probably Planning Something Big: Rumors have abounded about what exactly Israel is planning, but it’s probably something big and will provoke at least proportional retaliation from Iran, hence why the self-professed Jewish State requested that the US deploy one of its few THAADs to help defend it afterwards. THAAD specializes in intercepting ballistic missiles so it can be intuited that Israel and the US expect Iran to respond through these means. THAAD only carries 48 interceptors, however, so it could be overwhelmed if there’s a saturation strike.”
US deploys anti-ballistic system to Israel, Iran says ‘no red lines’
From article:”The US deployed a special anti-ballistic missile battery system and its 100-member crew to help defend Israel against a potential third direct attack from Iran, as Tehran warns it has no redlines in the war with its archfoes. “This action underscores the United States’ ironclad commitment to the defense of Israel, and to defend Americans in Israel, from any further ballistic missile attacks by Iran,” the Pentagon said Sunday.”
Guterres rejects Netanyahu’s call to evacuate UNIFIL from southern Lebanon
From article:”“It is time for you [Guterres] to remove UNIFIL from Hezbollah’s strongholds and from the fighting areas,” Netanyahu stated. He rephrased in English: “Mr. Secretary-General, get the UNIFIL forces out of harm’s way. It should be done right now, immediately.” “We regret the harm to UNIFIL soldiers, and we are doing our utmost to prevent such harm. But the simplest and most obvious way to ensure this is simply to withdraw them from the danger zone,” Netanyahu stressed.”
Erdogan: Russia, Iran, Syria must take measures against Israel after alleged Damascus strike
From article:”Russia, Syria and Iran should take more effective measures to protect Syria’s territorial integrity, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Saturday, when asked about Israel’s recent alleged strike on Damascus. “We will defend an urgent and permanent peace in Syria… Israel is the most concrete threat to regional and global peace,” Erdogan said in an interview with Turkish media. “It is essential that Russia, Iran and Syria take more effective measures against this situation, which poses the greatest threat to Syria’s territorial integrity,” according to a readout of the interview from the Turkish presidency.”
Finally on the offensive, IDF’s 91st Division slices through Hezbollah’s front lines
From article:”Much of the degradation of Hezbollah’s forces along the border was achieved over the last year, as the IDF used artillery and airstrikes to target enemy positions in nearby Lebanese villages. The IDF also carried out dozens of quiet raids to further reduce Hezbollah’s capabilities. Under pressure, the elite Radwan force that was trained to invade northern Israel pulled away from the border. And in recent weeks, Israel has revved up its fight against Hezbollah into another gear. With cold-blooded creativity, a relentless series of IDF (and likely Mossad) attacks ravaged the terror group’s senior leadership and reduced its rocket arsenal.”
Netanyahu: Israel killed ‘Nasrallah’s replacement, and his replacement’s replacement’
From article:”“This has a dramatic effect on everything that happens. There is no one to make decisions, no one to act,” the defense minister added. “The actions we are taking are being observed all over the Middle East. When the smoke in Lebanon clears, they will realize in Iran that they have lost their most valuable asset, which is Hezbollah.”
Hamas will rise ‘like a phoenix’ from the ashes, leader-in-exile says God is in the process of blotting the name of Hamas from the earth!
From article:”Meshaal said he saw no prospects for peace while Netanyahu’s government is in power. Israel blames Hamas, whose founding charter calls for Israel’s destruction, for the failure to secure peace. “As long as the (Israeli) occupation exists, the region remains a ticking time bomb,” Meshaal said.”

How Hezbollah turned Lebanon into a mafia state
From article:”There are those in Lebanon who will privately echo the assessments made by foreign think tanks and human rights groups, which have accused Hezbollah of state plunder, drug trafficking, organised crime and the killing of its critics. But, with the movement categorically denying all such allegations, they do so in a whisper.

Iran’s Ayatollah Khamenei defends missile barrage against Israel in rare sermon
From article:”Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei declared in a rare sermon Friday that his country’s ballistic missile attack on Israel earlier this week was “legal and legitimate” and that the “resistance in the region will not back down even with the killing of its leaders.” Khamenei said Iran will not “procrastinate nor act hastily to carry out its duty” in going after Israel, Reuters reports. The news agency cited him as saying that Tuesday’s barrage of nearly 200 missiles fired by Iran at Israel was “legal and legitimate” and the minimum punishment for Israel’s “crimes.”
Israel’s Miraculous Survival of the Iranian Missile Strike
From article:”Israel has three air defense systems, each one of them a technological wonder and that’s not me saying it. That’s Dr. Gold who basically invented the Iron Dome who told me that. The level and sophistication of the Iron Dome is simply unparalleled. But the Iron Dome only knows how to detonate short range rockets or missiles within a 70 km range, give or take. Then Israel has the David’s Sling system. That knows how to deal with mid range missiles up to approximately 300 km. Then we have the Arrow system that literally detonates missiles that can fly outside of the earth’s atmosphere. That has a range of about 2,400 km!! Last night, as Iran rained down ballistic missiles on Israel, all three defense systems were activated and implemented to perfection. The chances of all of these incredibly complex systems working in unison as flawlessly as they did last night, are basically non existent.”
Iranian Muslim Cleric Says Israelis Had Supernatural Help to Kill Hezbollah’s Nasrallah As the God of Israel manifests his power in defending Israel, the Muslims are going to say it is the power of satan!
From article:”Karami, however, sees it as a possibility. He states, “Considering the Zionists’ history of subjugating genies, they carry out many of their missions through this means, and demons are their secret army.” Hassan Nasrallah is by no means the first victim of these Zionist jinn: “They [the Jews] have had access to genies and cosmic science since the time of David and Solomon. Historically, they have always used genies, their documents and traditions proved that. They have used genies and demons for warfare and intelligence operations throughout history.” Well, that certainly does explain the stunning against-all-odds Israeli victories in 1948, 1967, and 1973.
Turkey’s Erdogan Asks U.N. to Override Security Council and Demand ‘Use of Force’ Against Israel

Head of Iranian unit countering Mossad was Israeli agent, says ex-president Ahmadinejad
From article:”Other Iranian officials have in the past remarked about Mossad’s penetration in Iran. A former Iranian minister who served as an adviser to former president Hassan Rouhani said in 2022 that senior officials in Tehran should be fearing for their lives due to the “infiltration” of Israel’s spy agency, according to the London-based Persian-language Manoto news site.”
