Israel, Iran and Hezbollah are now in a deadly conflict, with the potential of nuclear weapons changing our world forever. How did we get here, what happens next and what does it mean for biblical prophecy?

– Joel 3:2

The Iran-Israel Crisis in the End Times Documentary

Israel has been under siege for years, attacked in all directions by Iran’s proxies and the United States has told Israel to hold its peace for years. But now, these attacks have escalated into the beginning of an all out war. How on earth did we get here? Leaders like Obama, Biden and Harris thought Iran could be restrained by concessions, but Netanyahu and Trump says all these concessions have emboldened Iran to deepen its attacks on Israel, especially with the Islamist group Hezbollah in Lebanon.

Iran has been ramping up the pressure on Israel, attacking them daily through proxies, and all the time, Iran has been trying to develop nuclear weapons. As Iran gets closer to nuclear weapons, the next President of the United States may have to make a decision that will determine if Israel survives. 

This shall be the plague with which the Lord will strike all the people who fought against Jerusalem: Their flesh shall dissolve while they stand on their feet, their eyes shall dissolve in their sockets and their tongues shall dissolve in their mouths

– Zechariah 14:12



But this is not a battle against flesh and blood, but against principalities in the heavenly realms that do not want Israel to survive, nor for the Messianic prophecies to be fulfilled. Close to 2,500 years ago, in Persia, modern day Iran, Haman committed himself to destroying all the Jews in the Persian empire, but God called Esther and Mordecai to intercede on behalf of the Jews for their survival, but the cost was high, and both were threatened with death as they stood for God’s will. All who stand with God will meet resistance and to stop God’s plan, you have to stop those who want to fulfil it. 

There is a certain people scattered and dispersed among the people in all the provinces of your kingdom; their laws are different from all other peoples and they do not keep the king’s laws. Therefore it is not fitting for the king to let them remain. If it pleases the king, let a decree be written that they be destroyed, and I will pay ten thousand talents of silver into the hands of those who do the work, to bring it into the king’s treasuries

– Esther 3:8-9

Jeremiah said, “I will terrify Elam (Iran) before their enemies and before those who seek their life. I will bring disaster upon them, my fierce anger, declares the Lord”

– Jeremiah 49:37
