Iran opens Eastern Front against Israel

Iran continues to expand its attempt to destroy Israel by opening another front against it. Iran is attempting to surround Israel with terrorist warriors to overwhelm Israel with threats of annihilation. The radical Muslim government in Iran controls Hamas in the south, and Lebanon and Syria in the north. They have been supplying weapons to terrorist groups in the “West Bank” areas, who are attacking the Israel military forces and Israeli civilians. Israel continues to fight back against these terrorists who have been trained and are funded by Iran.

However, now, Iran is opening another front in the east along the once peaceful Jordan Valley. This valley represents Israel’s longest border, running along the Jordan River. Along this border, Israel and Jordan are only separated by a narrow strip of land. There is a narrow security area on the eastern bank of the Jordan River in Jordan. There is also another limited security area along the western shore of the Jordan River on the Israeli side. The width of the entire security area is no more than a few thousand yards.

Many times, I have traveled down an Israeli highway along this security fence from southern Galilee to the Dead Sea area. The Arab and Jewish farmers in the Jordan Valley have been friends for decades. However, thanks to the escalation of war promoted by Iran, this is all changing.

One Israeli Jewish farmer in the Jordan Valley recently gave this report about the changes they are witnessing in recent weeks. “Terror has been spreading to the valley and making its base here. Small Palestinian villages surrounding the Jewish communities now each have a Hamas squad in it. And this is only one of the dangers. From the east, the situation is as bad, or maybe worse. The border with Jordan is very penetrable, tons of arms are flooding the valley from there. And we hear news of Iranian militias concentrating on the borders. With 70 percent of Jordanians being Palestinians, and the border so easy to break, you can imagine how frightening the situation is” (United with Israel, August 23, 2024).

Iran is now supplying small weapons to terrorists in this area, including IEDs. These underground explosives are being planted in civilian areas and along highways that are a danger to Jewish and Arab civilians. In recent weeks, the IDF has begun to use military bulldozers to tear up roads to destroy these IEDs.

Needless to say, this is making the security efforts of the Israelis more difficult. Some of the Palestinians feel threaten and are also crossing over into Jordan to take refuge there as the war from Gaza and Lebanon threatens to move into the West Bank and Jordan Valley areas.

Friends, we cannot begin to imagine the sheer terror that Israelis are dealing with daily. If this is not bad enough, the Israelis continue to hear the world, even the American administration, say that the real problem is with the Israelis who live in the West Bank. These Israelis are being told they do not have the right to defend themselves from those who are attempting to kill innocent Jewish families who are living on the land that God promised to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob 4,000 years ago.

This is the exact scenario the prophetic Scriptures declared would develop at the end of this age.

French Jews Immigrating to Israel

The security for Jews living in Europe is disintegrating with the explosion of Anti-Semitism and the increased Muslim immigration to Europe, especially in France, Germany, and Great Britain. As a result, tens of thousands of Jews are immigrating to Israel.

“France’s next government will be led by the extreme left, and will necessarily be anti-Israel and pro-Hamas, to please the millions of Muslim voters. The next government in France will not even try to protect French Jews when they are attacked in the suburbs of Paris and Marseille, because if it does, there would be Muslim riots in the streets and many cars would be set on fire” (The Jewish Press, July 9, 2024). The Jewish leadership in France is telling their Jewish congregations there is no future for Jews in France.

This same situation is multiplying around the world, including in Russia and the United States. This is a direct fulfillment of biblical prophecy.

Israel is a Blessing

The Lord promised Abraham that Israel would be “a blessing” to the nations (Genesis 12:2-3). In these last days, God continues to keep His promise. The Jewish nation of Israel is standing tall among the nations. It is a global leader that promotes real freedom, security, and peace. The world does not view Israel in a positive way. We must remember that we live in a world where good has become evil, and evil has become good. The enemies of God and Israel are wicked and promote deceptive lies against God and His people.

Today, Israel is leading the world in the fight for civilization. They are fighting the battle against the evil nations that are promoting Islam and communism. We are deeply indebted to them for leading the war against radical Islam and socialism.

I recently discovered an article by Gatestone Institute entitle “Israelis: The Heroes of our Time.” This article communicates the truth about Israel’s fight for freedom and democracy. Here are a few paragraphs from that article.

“The people of Israel are peace-loving. They do not eagerly seek to join battles, they do not desire to destroy and kill. Even so, they once again find themselves forced to defend their homeland, their faith, and their right to live in peace. Perturbingly, they are besieged by those who deny their right to exist. Terrorist organizations, such as Hamas and ISIS, in contrast, appear to be driven by aggression, at times even a lust for violence, believed by many to be divinely sanctioned.

“Notwithstanding immense peril to themselves personally, and their unprecedented commitment not to endanger anyone’s life unnecessarily, Israeli soldiers defend not only their ancestral place but also the core freedoms and the right to a home that frames Western civilization itself. At this time, however, Israelis seem to be alone in their task, and continually faced with obstacles their so-called allies place in the way of swift victory.

…

“The defenders of Israel are courageously overcoming challenges to their nation, their land and their faith. Israel is the only country in that part of the world embodying the institutions of democracy, individual freedom and human rights. Israel, like Ukraine and Taiwan, is worth fighting for. The citizens of Israel are sacrificing their lives so that we will not have to. The least we can do is get out of the way and be of help. They are heroes. They deserve our gratitude and support” (Gatestone Institute, “Israelis: The Heroes of our Time,” June 2, 2024).

U.S. Betrayal of Israel

In recent months, since the fatal day Hamas attacked Israel on October 7, we have seen the Biden administration betrayal of our greatest friend and ally, Israel. Israel is more like the old America than any other nation on the face of the earth. Both nations are supporters of freedom and a political form of democracy. Most importantly, both nations have honored the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Both nations have had a justice system that is based upon the Judeo-Christian foundation of ethics founded upon the law of God in the Bible.

In reality, the U.S is now acting more like an enemy of Israel, rather than its friend and ally. In the three terms of the Democrat administrations of President Barak Obama and President Joe Biden, the U.S. has begun to subtlety change its relationship with Israel. Do not listen to what these presidents have said about Israel. Look at their actions and policies. These administrations have made the enemies of Israel the allies of the U.S. They have made Israel the new enemy. This is clearly illustrated in their support of the evil regime of Iran, which has consistently declared for more than five decades that their Islamic leadership is committed to the complete annihilation of the Jewish nation of Israel. This was clearly illustrated with the direct attack of Iran upon Israel a few weeks ago.

In recent days we have witnessed the refusal of the Biden administration to support Israel with the military aid its needs to finish the job of destroying the dangerous Hamas agents who killed, raped, and committed indecent and demonic atrocities against innocent Israeli citizens living near the Gaza strip on October 7, 2023. The Islamic terrorist who are war with Israel, Hamas in Gaza, Hezbollah in Lebanon, and the Houthis in Yemen, are all backed, trained, and supported by Iran. On May 12, the Biden administration demanded that Israel cease its attack upon Hamas.

The Biden administration is sending mixed signal concerning its support of Israel in its war against the Iranian backed proxy terrorist groups. Biden has said that he supports Israel and has demonstrate that in many ways. When Iran attacked Israel, the U.S. was actively involved in shooting down many of the Iranian missiles before they reached Israeli airspace. However, for political purposes, Biden is attempting to appease many democrats in Washington who are clearly antisemitic. He is clearly playing a dangerous game of deceit in his policies and actions with Israel. This is hazardous for the U.S. and is sending the wrong message of weakness to the enemies of Israel and the U.S.

The most fatal flaw of the policies of the current U.S. administration is the attempt to join the world in demanding Israel to give up a large portion of their Promised Land and Jerusalem for the creation of a Palestinian terrorist state that has demonstrated for decades is sworn to the destruction of the Jewish state of Israel. Israel currently refuses to give in to these international demands because they view this as suicide. The Palestinians on the West Bank have verbalized their support for Hamas.

The U.S. and the entire world are at war with Israel over a tiny piece of property that God gave to the Jewish people in an everlasting covenant 4,000 years ago (Genesis 17:7-8). In essence, those who oppose and curse Israel will be opposed and cursed by God (Genesis 12:3). In an amazing passage in Jeremiah 30, the Lord communicated to Israel that He will not destroy Israel (Jeremiah 30:11) but will terminate all the nations who attack or opposed His people in the last days (Jeremiah 30:16).

Finally, in Jeremiah 30:22-24, God said to Israel, “And ye shall be my people, and I will be your God. Behold, the whirlwind of the Lord goeth forth with fury, a continuing whirlwind: it shall fall with pain upon the head of the wicked. The fierce anger of the Lord shall not return, until he hath done it, and until he have performed the intents of his heart: in the latter days ye shall consider it.”

God has promised that any nation who opposes the Jewish occupation of the holy city of Israel will be crushed by Him (Zechariah 12:3). God has declared that any military attack against Israel and Jerusalem will be “smitten” by Him (Zechariah 12:4). Speaking of these last days, the Lord has warned, “I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem” (Zechariah 12:9).

It is not an accident that in the last few months President Biden’s policies against Israel are bringing a powerful response from God. Look at all the natural disaster that are taking place in the U.S. – violent record-breaking storms producing flooding, hail, damaging winds, and tornadoes. These storms are destroying American homes, farms, factories, schools, etc. At some point this could cause the collapse of the insurance agencies in the U.S., driving up insurance premiums beyond what is affordable.

All that is happening is the hand of God fulfilling His promises of judgments (plagues) upon those who oppose Him and His will for His people, Israel. Psalm 148:8 declares that “fire, and hail, now, and vapors; stormy wind [fufill] his word.”

Dear friends, we are just beginning to feel the hand of God’s judgment upon America. He is calling us to repentance. He is calling us to submit to Him and His divine will. He is saying to the leaders of the world, “Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth. Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice with trembling. Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him” (Psalm 2:10-12). If we do not repent, America will be crushed by God!

Biden Meddling in Israeli Government Affairs

The Biden administration continues its attempt to force the world’s agenda upon the Israeli government. In the last few months, U.S. President Joe Biden has begun to realize that his initial stance of supporting Israel’s war against Hamas in Gaza has politically backfired on him. Many in his own party are voicing opposition to him and his positive stance with Israel. Therefore, with the election approaching this fall, Biden has chosen to reverse his position and become an adversary rather than an ally of Israel.

The Biden administration continues to ignore the real facts about the situation in the Middle East. They view Israel as being the aggressor, rather than Israel’s right to defend themselves from the destruction of Hamas and all others who seek to destroy the one and only Jewish nation. Everyone knows that Hamas’ charter calls for the complete annihilation of the entire state of Israel. They are a trained and financially backed proxy of the Iranian regime, which is also obsessed with the destruction of Israel. Yet, this does not seem to matter to those who support the enemies of Israel. Or perhaps they want Israel to disappear from the face of the earth!

In recent weeks, the Biden Administration has used all means at its disposal to persuade the Israeli government to end the war with Hamas and to not enter the Hamas stronghold in Rafah (the southern most area of Gaza near the Egyptian border). It continues to lecture Israel concerning how the war should end and who should rule in Gaza after the war is over. The world, and the current American administration, is calling for a Palestinian government to take control of Gaza. Currently, the West Bank Palestinian government is planning to join hands with Hamas to destroy Israel. So, the world wants Israel to allow a terrorist entity to govern all of Israel’s borders. This is not a solution for peace, but an escalation of war against Israel.

Furthermore, Biden is adamant that the Israeli government should support the creation and immediate recognition of a Palestinian State on a part of the land deeded to the Jewish people in the Bible by God 4,000 years ago. However, the current Israeli government, with the support of most of the Israeli population, continues to reject all the U.N. and U.S. demands.

However, now World Israel News is reporting that the Biden administration is seeking advice from Netanyahu’s political opponents in Israel as to how they might topple the current Israeli government headed by Benjamin Netanyahu. This is illegal and unethical. The people who are now a part of this U.S. administration spent billions of dollars in their attack against former President Donald Trump, claiming that he was part of a Russian intrusion in American affairs. This has been proven to be a false charge. However, now they are doing a similar thing they claimed that President Trump was doing.

All of this is a part of the struggle between heaven and hell at the end of days. We are witnessing the formation of a global alliance against God and His people, Israel. The world is blind to the fact they are being prepared for the divine retribution of the Holy One of Israel. “For it is the day of the LORD’s vengeance, and the year of recompences for the controversy of Zion” (Isaiah 34:8).

Be prepared for the shout that will take us out!
