A multi-front war between Israel and her surrounding, nearby enemies

A multi-front war between Israel and her surrounding, nearby enemies

The Israeli military has established a new mountaineer unit tasked with carrying out operations across the country’s hostile borders with Lebanon and Syria amid worsening tensions over the ongoing war in the Gaza Strip.

“We are in a multi-front war—Lebanon, Syria, Judea and Samaria, and Gaza, and also farther away,”

IDF Chief of the General Staff Lieutenant General Herzi Halevi said during a visit to the Israel-occupied Benyamin region of the West Bank on Friday March 15.
The Bible says there will be a multi-front war between Israel and her surrounding, nearby enemies. Included in this inner ring war are Hamas, Hezbollah, Palestinians in general, Jordan and Syria. Israel is preparing for conflict with all these people and nations. As the war on Hamas nears its end Israel will turn its attention to their other enemies..

Israel will not abide by the breakthrough United Nations security council ceasefire resolution to halt the fighting in Gaza for the holy month of Ramadan. Benny Gantz, an Israeli war cabinet member, said that the resolution had “no operational significance for Israel” as the military continued to operate in the Gaza Strip

“Israel has a moral obligation to continue fighting until the hostages are returned and the threat of Hamas is removed and that is what we will do. The security council’s decision has no operational significance for us,”

Gantz wrote on social media

Relations between President Biden and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel appear to have sunk to a new low, with both men pressed hard by domestic politics and looming elections. Israel is almost entirely isolated in the world now with all countries calling on Israel to halt its attacks on Hamas. Israel on the other hand is determined that Hamas must be destroyed. The media depict this as a war that Netanyahu is charging ahead with regardless of public opinion. But this is not true. The vast majority of those living in Israel support the national unity government. The Bible says that the nearby enemies of Israel will be destroyed. We may be witnessing the start of the inner ring war.

Hinting at Israel’s alleged overnight airstrike in Syria, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant says the military will

“expand the campaign [against Hezbollah] and increase the rate of attacks in the north.”

“Israel is turning from defending to pursuing Hezbollah, we will reach wherever the organization operates, in Beirut, Damascus and in more distant places,”

Gallant says following an assessment at the IDF Northern Command in Safed. In the past day, a top Hezbollah commander was killed in an IDF drone strike in southern Lebanon, and five other Hezbollah terrorists were among 38 dead in alleged Israeli airstrikes in Syria’s Aleppo. Sixty-eight percent of Israeli Jews want more aggressive military action against Hezbollah, with 42 percent advocating “broad military activity even at the cost of regional war,” according to the INSS polling. Sixty-seven percent say diplomacy alone will enable northerners to come home.

Hamas remains in the sights of Israel and they have vowed to destroy them. But it will not end there. The next target is Hezbollah based in Lebanon to the north of Israel. Hezbollah also call for the destruction of Israel and are 10 times more powerful than Hamas and a real threat to Israel.

Israel cannot afford another October 7th and therefore have decided they can no longer have this threat on their border.

Zechariah 12 speaks of the people “round about” or “nearby” or ”surrounding” being burned up by the governors (leaders) of Jerusalem while Jerusalem remains secure. This is the initial inner ring war that comes BEFORE Russia and Iran invade Israel. There is vacuum created when Israel “win” this war. Remember these enemies of Israel are allies of Russia so when they are removed Russia takes vengeance on them…

Syria at some point will also get drawn into the inner ring war. Israel is attacking Syria especially around Damascus on a weekly almost daily basis. Until recently Russia has turned a blind eye to this but in recent days has become far more hostile to Israel’s actions. The Bible says that Damascus will be removed from being city. Jeremiah says that all the men of war will be killed in one day in that city. Something terrible is coming to Syria that will see the nation fail as a state. Syria is a key ally of Russa who has a naval base and many military bases in the country. When Syria fails due to Israel’s overwhelming attack Russia will decide to enter the void that is left and invade Israel…

Bible quote

Damascus has grown feeble; She turns to flee, And fear has seized her. Anguish and sorrows have taken her like a woman in labor.  Why is the city of praise not deserted, the city of My joy? Therefore her young men shall fall in her streets, And all the men of war shall be cut off in that day,” says the Lord of hosts.  “I will kindle a fire in the wall of Damascus,” (Jeremiah 49:24-27 NKJV)

The Lord, who stretches out the heavens, who lays the foundation of the earth, and who forms the human spirit within a person, declares:  “I am going to make Jerusalem a cup that sends all the surrounding peoples reeling. Judah will be besieged as well as Jerusalem (Zechariah 12:1-2 NIV)

“On that day I will make the clans of Judah like a firepot in a woodpile, like a flaming torch among sheaves. They will consume all the surrounding peoples right and left, but Jerusalem will remain intact in her place. (Zechariah 12:6)

This describes the inner ring war.

The Times, January 24, 2024

Event

Gulf of Aden

 

Two cargo ships sailing close to the Gulf of Aden came under attack by Yemen’s Houthi rebels on Wednesday night, the White House said — forcing the US navy to intervene as the Iran-backed militia intensified its maritime assault on commercial shipping. Houthi forces fired three anti-ship ballistic missiles at the US-flagged and owned container vessel Maersk Detroit as it was transiting the Gulf of Aden, according to the US Central Command. The latest strikes followed another wave against the Iran-backed group on Monday night, which involved Royal Air Force jets as well as US aircraft and warships. The Houthis have been hit with retaliatory strikes over their targeting of Red Sea commerce, which has forced shipping companies to divert traffic from the route to the Suez Canal. The militant group, which controls swathes of Yemen, including the capital, Sanaa, has carried out a growing number of missile and drone attacks along the key international trade route since Israel launched its assault on Gaza, deepening concerns that the fallout from the Israel-Hamas war could destabilise the Middle East.

Comment

This week has seen further escalation between the Houthis based in Yemen and the US/UK alliance.

The Houthis are demanding Israel stop the war in Gaza and until they do they will attack ships in the Red Sea. On Friday they launched a ballistic missile which hit an oil tanker. The tanker is still on fire as I am writing this. 15% of all maritime world trade passes through the Red Sea – hence the US/UK striking the Houthis. But the epicentre of this new conflict in the Middle East is Israel. It is as if Israel is the vortex of war sucking in more and more nations. We know that eventually all nations will be drawn to battle of Jerusalem. That process could now be underway…

Bible quote

For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city. (Zechariah 14:2)

Are we witnessing the opening salvos of World War 3?

The Independent, January 19, 2024

Event

It is hard to escape the impression of a theatre of military conflict that is inexorably growing – to the east and the south, if not yet to the north and the west. And if you look backwards, rather than forwards, the Hamas massacres of Israelis on 7 October, and Israel’s all-out military response, can be seen as turning the tiny sliver of the Gaza Strip into the epicentre of a conflict that could embrace regions many hundreds of miles further afield.

The Hamas attacks of October were followed by dire warnings that this could be the spark that ignited a regional conflagration; that it was only a matter of time before Iran became directly involved – probably through its proxy, Hezbollah, in southern Lebanon – and that, before long, you could be standing on the threshold of the next world war.

Comment

David Cameron a previous prime minister of Britain is now the UK’s foreign secretary. He warned this week:

“It is hard to think of a time when there has been so much danger and insecurity and instability in the world. The lights are absolutely flashing red on the global dashboard and what we need at that time is strong leadership and a plan and that is what we have with the prime minister and the team in place.”

He is right – we are at time of danger, insecurity and instability in the world.
The lights are flashing red.
The world does need strong leadership. However, the leadership required is not that of worldly leaders and their armies. It is the leadership of Christ and the hosts (armies) of heaven. In fact we are told specifically that judgement will come on the “ships of Tarshish” (Britain). It comes at a time when Lebanon and southern Syria is also judged. These events herald the return of Jesus to the earth and the establishment of God’s kingdom.

Bible quote

For the day of the LORD of hosts shall be upon every one that is proud and lofty, and upon every one that is lifted up; and he shall be brought low: And upon all the cedars of Lebanon, that are high and lifted up, and upon all the oaks of Bashan (south Syria).., And upon all the ships of Tarshish, and upon all pleasant pictures (should be translated “desirable ships!”). (Isaiah 2;12-13+16)

Russia, Turkey, Iran Condemn Attack on Yemeni Houthis

Russia, Turkey, Iran Condemn Attack on Yemeni Houthis

VOA, January 12, 2024

Event

Thursday’s retaliatory attacks by U.S. and British forces on Iranian-backed Houthis inside Yemen have prompted support and condemnation from the international community.

Iran’s foreign ministry spokesperson Nasser Kanaani “strongly slammed the military strikes by the U.S. and Britain,” in a statement, calling it “an arbitrary move” that

“clearly breached Yemen’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, and was against international laws and regulations.”

NATO ally Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan called the strikes

“a disproportionate use of force,”

just as Israel is doing in Gaza, and accused the U.S. and Britain of trying

“to turn the Red Sea into a sea of blood.”

He accused both countries of escalating tensions in the region. Russia also condemned the attacks, with Kremlin spokesperson Dmtry Peskov calling the strikes “illegitimate,” and accused the United States and Britain of

“trying to adjust the international law system to its actions.”

Comment

The strikes a few days ago by the US and UK against the Houthis in Yemen has caused anger and condemnation by three main nations – Russia, Turkey and Iran. All three nations are fully lined up with the Palestinians and see Israel as the aggressor. Iran wants the total destruction of Israel. Turkey (the only Muslim nation in NATO) has turned against Israel and is now siding with Russia. Russia under Putin had fairly good ties with Israel but has now turned against them. Putin is siding with Iran as Iran is helping Putin’s war in Ukraine. All three nations are lined up against Israel and therefore condemn the bombing of the Houthis who are also against Israel.

Ezekiel 38 tells us that Russia will assemble allies to attack Israel in the future. Iran and Turkey are on that list.

Bible quote

Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:  And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords: Persia, ….and the house of Togarmah of the north quarters, (Ezekiel 38:2-6)

Britain and US launch airstrikes on Houthi targets

Britain and US launch airstrikes on Houthi targets

The Times, January 12, 2024

Event

Explosions were heard across Yemen late on Thursday night as British and US forces launched strikes on Houthi targets, after the Iranian-backed group ignored warnings to stop attacking ships in the Red Sea. Rishi Sunak, who had authorised the military action hours earlier and briefed ministers in an emergency cabinet meeting, said the situation could not be allowed to stand. He said the UK had taken

“limited, necessary and proportionate action in self-defence”.

President Biden said that Australia, Bahrain, Canada, the Netherlands, Denmark, Germany, New Zealand and South Korea had also provided backing. Saba, the Yemeni press agency, reported attacks in the capital, Sanaa.

“These strikes are in direct response to unprecedented Houthi attacks against international maritime vessels in the Red Sea … These attacks have endangered US personnel, civilian mariners, and our partners, jeopardised trade, and threatened freedom of navigation,”

President Biden said.

Comment

The war between Israel and Hamas has escalated once again. Now it has spread to a direct conflict between the US/UK and the Houthis based in Yemen. The Houthis have said they are attacking ships in the Red Sea in support of the Palestinians and will only stop when Israel stops its war. The Houthis have been armed with sophisticated missiles and weapons from Iran. In Joel 3 we read of this situation. God speaks of the final conflict over Israel in this chapter. He asks (almost sarcastically)

“what have you to do with me O Tyre and Zidon, and all the coasts of Palestine?”

Tyre = Hezbollah and coasts of Palestine = Hamas in Gaza. But then we read in verse 8 that these people will be sold to the Sabeans – a people far off. Their kingdom was called Saba in Yemen!

Bible quote

Yea, and what have ye to do with me, O Tyre, and Zidon [Hezbollah], and all the coasts of Palestine? [Hamas] will ye render me a recompence? ….I return your recompence upon your own head;  And I will sell your sons and your daughters into the hand of the children of Judah, and they shall sell them to the Sabeans [Yemen], to a people far off: for the LORD hath spoken it.

Biden draws direct link between Putin and Hamas

Event

Guardian, October 20, 2023

Joe Biden has drawn a direct, provocative link between Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and Hamas’s attack on Israel as he urged Americans not to walk away from their role as “a beacon to the world”. In only the second Oval Office address of his presidency, Biden said he would ask Congress to provide aid for both Israel and Ukraine and denounced the scourge of antisemitism and Islamophobia at home.

The president’s 15-minute address sought to weave the Ukraine and Middle East conflicts together to convince war-weary voters and hardline Republicans of America’s obligations. It is a conflation that will make some uneasy, especially as Israel, with vastly superior military power, prepares for a ground invasion of Gaza.

“Hamas and Putin represent different threats, but they share this in common: they both want to completely annihilate a neighboring democracy,”

said Biden, sitting at the Resolute desk with flags, family photos, gold curtains and a darkened window behind him.

Comment

The duel crises of war in Ukraine and Israel are providing a daunting diplomatic test for America. Biden flew to Israel on whirlwind trip to show his support for Israel. On his return he made his second only address to the nation on prime time TV. His message was that the USA had to stand with Israel and Ukraine. He also said that both wars were linked. Putin and Hamas both wanted to destroy a neighbouring democracy.

With Bible in hand we know they are connected and will become ever more so. Putin is currently attacking a Jewish leadership in Ukraine and calling them Nazi’s. Ukraine is the only country in the world (apart from Israel) with a Jewish president and prime minister. Putin will one day invade Israel itself and take a spoil. The wars are connected.

Bible Quote

A long time from now you will be called into action. In the distant future you will swoop down on the land of Israel, which will be enjoying peace after recovering from war and after its people have returned from many lands to the mountains of Israel. (Ezekiel 38:8 NLT)

Notice Gog/Putin invades Israel when Israel is recovering from war (the inner ring war). Israel is then living in peace.

Hezbollah praises Hamas, says attack is message to Arab countries normalizing ties with Israel

Hezbollah praises Hamas, says attack is message to Arab countries normalizing ties with Israel

Hamas launched a surprise attack Saturday morning unprecedented in its scope and deadly impact. The phrase “It’s chaos” was heard repeatedly, from newsreaders, from families and occasionally from people caught in the raids, whispering desperately into their phones.

Event

The Times of Israel, October 7, 2023

Hezbollah praises the massive Hamas operation against Israel, and says it is message to Arab countries normalizing with Israel. The terror group Hezbollah says it is in direct contact with the Hamas leadership in Gaza and abroad, and calls on Arab and Muslim peoples around the world to declare their support to Hamas and the Palestinian people, adding that armed resistance is the only way to confront the Israeli “aggression.” Hezbollah adds that the “Al-Aqsa Deluge” operation launched by Hamas against Israel is a message to the international community and the Arab and Muslim world, in particular those countries seeking normalization with Israel. It also calls on the Israeli government to learn the “important lessons” taught by the “Palestinian resistance.”

Comment

Hamas are calling this war the “Al-Aqsa deluge” or “Al-Aqsa storm”. It is interesting they are giving it this title. Al-Aqsa refers to the Al-Aqsa Mosque situated on Temple Mount next to the Dome of the Rock. The Temple Mount is the actual site of the first and second Jewish Temples. The first temple was destroyed by Nebuchadnezzar and the second one was destroyed by the Romans in CE 70.

Thumbnail for State of PalestineHamas believe that Jerusalem should be the capital of a Palestinian State and that Israel should be destroyed as a nation. The centre of their rage and anger is centred on Temple Mount in Jerusalem. This is interesting because in Zechariah 12 we are told that God wil

“make Jerusalem a cup of trembling to all the people round about.”

One version says

“I will make Jerusalem like an intoxicating drink that makes the nearby nations stagger.”

In other words Jerusalem will make nearby people (Hamas!) act crazy as if drunk / out of their minds. These nearby people go mad. And it causes Jerusalem to be a burden for all…

Bible Quote

This message concerning the fate of Israel came from the Lord:

“This message is from the Lord, who stretched out the heavens, laid the foundations of the earth, and formed the human spirit. I will make Jerusalem like an intoxicating drink that makes the nearby nations stagger when they send their armies to besiege Jerusalem and Judah (Zechariah 12:1-2)
