Iran’s Supreme leader has vowed revenge after a Hamas leader was killed in Tehran:<\/p>\n

Ayatollah Says ‘Severe’ Revenge Coming For Israel Killing Hamas Leader On Iranian Soil<\/h2>\n

July 31, 2024<\/p>\n

The world just woke up to a new Middle East on Wednesday which stands on the precipice of major war between Iran and its proxies and Israel, following the overnight Israeli assassination of\u00a0Ismail Haniyeh<\/a>, the top political leader of Hamas, during an inauguration event for Iran\u2019s new president. Haniyeh, who is based in Qatar, and an Iranian security guard were killed reportedly while in the Iranian capital. Hamas has since condemned the “treacherous Zionist raid on his residence in Tehran.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Iran is vowing “severe” punishment, with the Islamic Republic’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Khamenei, announcing<\/a> in English and Farsi on X, “The criminal, terrorist Zionist regime martyred our dear guest in our territory and has caused our grief, but it has also prepared the ground for a severe punishment<\/strong>.”<\/p>\n

And Iran’s newly sworn-in president Masoud Pezeshkian in a statement cited in state media said the country will\u00a0“defend its territorial integrity, dignity, honor, and pride, and will make the terrorist occupiers regret their cowardly act<\/strong>.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Taking out\u00a0Haniyeh was the second high-profile assassination attributed by Israel in a matter of hours, following the Tuesday airstrike in Beirut that killed Hezbollah\u2019s top military leader and right-hand man to Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah, Fuad Shukr<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

That attack was massive and on a neighborhood and buildings in the south of the capital, with Lebanon\u2019s Health Ministry saying three people, including two children, have been killed, with at least 74 wounded<\/strong>. https:\/\/www.zerohedge.com\/markets\/ayatollah-says-severe-revenge-coming-israel-killing-hamas-leader-iranian-soil<\/a><\/p>\n

July 31, 2024<\/p>\n

A former Israeli national security adviser tells VOA that Iranian proxy groups Hamas and Hezbollah face dilemmas in considering retaliations against Israel for the assassinations of two of their senior members in strikes on Beirut and Tehran over several hours beginning Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Israeli reserves Brig. Gen. Jacob Nagel, a former national security adviser to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, discussed those dilemmas in a Wednesday phone interview with VOA. Nagel is an Israel-based senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, a U.S. foreign policy and security research group in Washington.<\/p>\n

Israel asserted that it killed Fuad Shukr, the top military commander of Lebanon\u2019s U.S.-designated terror group Hezbollah, in a Tuesday strike on a building in the group\u2019s stronghold of southern Beirut. Hezbollah has not said whether Shukr was killed in the attack.<\/p>\n

The Israeli government and military have not commented on the attack that Iran and the Hamas terror group said killed the group\u2019s political chief Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran hours later. Hamas and Iranian state media blamed Israel for Wednesday\u2019s pre-drawn strike on a residence in the Iranian capital, without citing evidence. https:\/\/www.voanews.com\/a\/hamas-hezbollah-face-dilemmas-in-hitting-back-at-israel-after-assassinations-of-key-leaders\/7723918.html<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Last evening, before the announcement of the killing of Ismail Haniyeh, Micheal Snyder posted the following:<\/p>\n

July 31, 2024<\/p>\n

Now we shall see what Hezbollah chooses to do in response.<\/p>\n

Prior to the Israeli attack, the head of Hezbollah had pledged that any attack on Beirut would mean that Tel Aviv would be targeted in return<\/a>\u2026<\/p>\n

On Monday, Lebanon\u2019s foreign minister told CNN that an Israeli attack in the southern suburbs of Beirut, or the international airport, \u201cwould surely lead to war.\u201d Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah has repeatedly said that any Israeli strike on the Lebanese capital would prompt a Hezbollah attack on Tel Aviv.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I am sure that Hezbollah will do something in response.<\/p>\n

But I don\u2019t think that all-out war will erupt quite yet.<\/p>\n

I still think that we are at least a couple of months away.<\/p>\n

But a day of reckoning is definitely approaching. The Israelis are absolutely determined to move Hezbollah north of the Litani River, and Hezbollah has warned that the moment IDF troops enter southern Lebanon all-out war will begin. …<\/p>\n

Ever since last October, this war has been simmering at a relatively low level as Israel and Hamas have been going at it.<\/p>\n

But eventually this thing is going to spiral out of control, and the death and destruction we will witness will shock the entire globe. https:\/\/endoftheamericandream.com\/will-turkey-try-to-invade-israel-once-the-end-times-war-in-the-middle-east-spirals-out-of-control\/<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

We may be closer to an all-out war than Michael Snyder thinks.<\/p>\n

Actually, a destructive war is part of Hamas’ official purpose. Notice something from one of Hamas\u2019 official founding documents:<\/p>\n

THE COVENANT OF THE HAMAS \u2013 MAIN POINTS . . .<\/p>\n

Goals of the HAMAS:
\n\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014
\n\u2018The Islamic Resistance Movement is a distinguished Palestinian movement, whose allegiance is to Allah, and whose way of life is Islam. It strives to raise the banner of Allah over every inch of Palestine.\u2019 (Article 6)<\/p>\n

On the Destruction of Israel:
\n\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2013
\n\u2018Israel will exist and will continue to exist until Islam will obliterate it, just as it obliterated others before it.\u2019 (Preamble)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Hamas and Iran want Israel gone\u2014though that does not mean that they will not be open to some type of a temporary or timed withdrawal or peace deal. And a TEMPORARY one will come according to the Bible:<\/p>\n

26 And the people of the prince who is to come Shall destroy the city and the sanctuary. The end of it shall be with a flood, And till the end of the war desolations are determined. 27 Then he shall confirm a covenant with many for one week; But in the middle of the week He shall bring an end to sacrifice and offering. And on the wing of abominations shall be one who makes desolate, Even until the consummation, which is determined, Is poured out on the desolate (Daniel 9:26-27).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

But, again, the deal will be temporary. The \u201cone week\u201d above has been understand to be a seven-year confirmation, but the fact that it will be broken in the middle shows it will basically only have a 3 1\/2 year confirmation.<\/p>\n

Most often, “peace deals” happen after conflict and Iran has vowed to increase the conflict and it would seem that its proxies of Hamas and Hezbollah want to do that as well.<\/p>\n

The Bible has the following prophecy:<\/p>\n

\n

12 The Syrians before and the Philistines behind; And they shall devour Israel with an open mouth. (Isaiah 9:12)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The Bible clearly is prophesying problems from some Syrians (who are close allies of Iran) and some Palestinians (which includes those of Gaza).<\/p>\n

Regarding Iran possibly attacking Israel, in March I posted the following:<\/p>\n

\n

The Bible shows that God will allow what looks to be a Iranian-Syrian confederation to strike the nation of Israel:<\/p>\n

1 The burden against the Valley of Vision.<\/p>\n

What ails you now, that you have all gone up to the housetops, 2 You who are full of noise, A tumultuous city, a joyous city? Your slain men are not slain with the sword, Nor dead in battle. 3 All your rulers have fled together; They are captured by the archers. All who are found in you are bound together; They have fled from afar. 4 Therefore I said, \u201cLook away from me, I will weep bitterly; Do not labor to comfort me Because of the plundering of the daughter of my people.\u201d<\/p>\n

5 For it is a day of trouble and treading down and perplexity By the Lord God of hosts In the Valley of Vision \u2014 Breaking down the walls And of crying to the mountain. 6 Elam bore the quiver With chariots of men and horsemen<\/strong>, And Kir uncovered the shield. 7 It shall come to pass that your choicest valleys Shall be full of chariots, And the horsemen shall set themselves in array at the gate.<\/p>\n

8 He removed the protection of Judah<\/strong>. You looked in that day to the armor of the House of the Forest; 9 You also saw the damage to the city of David, That it was great<\/strong>; And you gathered together the waters of the lower pool. 10 You numbered the houses of Jerusalem, And the houses you broke down To fortify the wall. 11 You also made a reservoir between the two walls For the water of the old pool. But you did not look to its Maker, Nor did you have respect for Him who fashioned it long ago.<\/p>\n

12 And in that day the Lord God of hosts Called for weeping and for mourning, For baldness and for girding with sackcloth. 13 But instead, joy and gladness, Slaying oxen and killing sheep, Eating meat and drinking wine: \u201cLet us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die!\u201d<\/p>\n

14 Then it was revealed in my hearing by the Lord of hosts,\u201dSurely for this iniquity there will be no atonement for you, Even to your death,\u201d says the Lord God of hosts. (Isaiah 22:1-14 NKJV)<\/p>\n

Elam is a reference to at least some in Iran. The old Worldwide Church of God published the following:<\/p>\n

Iranians comprise nearly 70 percent of the country. Iranians, though Islamic, are totally distinct from the neighboring Arab peoples of the Middle East. They are a mixed people of the remnants of Media and Elam and other ancestors of Semitic and Hamitic stock. (Stump K. South Asia in Prophecy. Plain Truth, July\/August 1986, p. 5)<\/p>\n

The Bible tells that after Tiglath-Pileser king of Assyria took over Damascus, he moved Syrians to Kir (2 Kings 16:9-10). God’s word has the expression “the Syrians from Kir” (Amos 9:7), which is basically confirmation that Kir of Isaiah 22 would include Syrians. The Bible also tells of a time when Kir will be destroyed (Isaiah 15:1b) and also says that Syria’s capital Damascus will be destroyed (Isaiah 17:1).While this does not mean that Kir must (or must only) be a reference to Syria, the fact that Syria is an ally of Iran is interesting.<\/p>\n

In Isaiah 22: 8, \u201cJudah\u201d is a reference to those in the land commonly called Israel\u2013God will allow Israel to be attacked! In Isaiah 22:9, consider that \u201cthe damage to the city of David\u201d is a reference to at least part of Jerusalem\u2013and notice that the damage will be great. This, in turn, would be expected to result in a massive Israeli, possibly with US involvement, attack against Iran and its allies, like Syria.the<\/p>\n

The fulfillment of Isaiah 22:6-9 could lead to the prophesied peace deal of Daniel 9:26-27 and the countdown to the start of the Great Tribulation.<\/p>\n

But notice verse 8: He removed the protection of Judah<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Part of the protection of Judah, aka the nation called Israel, comes from the USA.<\/p>\n

While Syria (and others) may be involved in removing “the protection of Judah,” the more the USA distances itself from Israel, the more tempting an attack may seem for Iran.<\/p>\n

Anyway, we may well see Iran attack Israel in 2024, and that could possibly lead to the confirmation of the deal of Daniel 9:27. (Thiel B. VOA: Hamas Leader Speaks in Iran of Israel\u2019s \u2018Political Isolation\u2019.<\/a> COGwriter, March 27, 2024)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Since that post, we have seen an attack by Iran in 2024. But as I emailed someone within a few hours after it began, I did not believe it was the attack of Isaiah 22:6-9. And it was not.<\/p>\n

That said, most COGs do not understand about Iran in prophecy (see Iran & Syria & Israel: PCG, WCG, CGG, UCG, CEG, COGaIC, LCG, RCG, ICG, CGI, and CCOG<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Last year, the Continuing<\/em>\u00a0Church of God<\/a>\u00a0(CCOG) put together the following\u00a0Bible News Prophecy<\/em>\u00a0video on our\u00a0Bible News Prophecy<\/a> YouTube channel related to Iran and Israel:<\/p>\n

Iran and Israel Conflict<\/a><\/h3>\n

European Union foreign policy chief, Josep Borrel, has been brokering the nuclear negotiations involving Iran and said that he thinks the deal is \u201cin danger.\u201d Iran blames the United States, whereas the USA says they are not delaying it. Israeli sources stated that Israel will stop Iran from getting a nuclear bomb. Joe Biden says the USA would use its own military power to prevent Iran from getting such a bomb if need be. In 2021, Iranian lawmakers have submitted a bill seeking the government by law to commit to Israel\u2019s destruction by the year 2040. Does the 22nd chapter of Isaiah point to damage coming to Israel from Iran and possibly Syria? Might Iran be concerned enough about limited progress with the USA to launch some type of attack? Is Iran the prophesied \u2018King of the South\u2019? Is it reasonable to think that the prophesied peace deal of Daniel <\/span>9:27<\/a> will not happen until after a military conflict. like a regional war? Should Christians watch the Middle East? Dr. Thiel and Steve Dupuie discuss these matters.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Here is a link to our video:\u00a0Iran and Israel Conflict<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As the Ayatollah continues to age, he may well decide that 2024 is the year for him to attempt to fulfill his desire to eliminate Israel.<\/p>\n

This is something to watch for (cf. Mark 13:37).<\/p>\n
