Awaken Bible Prophecy Update 10-11-23: The Israel Conspiracy

Conspiracies are everywhere.  We have them in America.  They are certainly abounding throughout the world.  The latest to see fruition is what is happening in Israel.  To my consternation, it appears as if the conspiracies surrounding Israel are greater than I had foreseen.  Because of how I view world events through the prophetic lens of Scripture, I anticipated that the war currently underway with Hamas had to happen at some point in these treacherous days.  What I didn’t expect was that a conspiracy within Israel itself – within its own government – would play an integral role in the events that are unfolding before our very eyes.

The question I immediately posed upon the advent of these hostilities was – given their extreme nature: Is this the beginning of the Psalm 83 War?  It made no sense to me that it would be the Ezekiel 38 War, a.k.a. the War of Gog of Magog.  Hamas isn’t in any way a member of the coalition attacking Israel in that major, prophetic conflict.  The conspirators in that extremely significant war are Russia, Iran, Turkey, and others – none of which directly border or inhabit Israel.

Hamas is the enemy within.  As I’ve continued to say: if Hezbollah joins the fray along with other combatants from Israel’s neighboring hostile states, it certainly seems like we’ve got a match for the Psalm 83 War.  To date, we’ve got some participation from Hezbollah as they fire a limited number of missiles at Israel.  Will they join this war as a full-fledged active partner with Hamas?  If so, the prophetic significance is huge.

The disturbing and confusing aspect of all this is the absolute unpreparedness of the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF).  That makes no sense unless there’s a lot more going on conspiratorially than certainly I expected.

Conspiracies are everywhere.  We have them in America.  They are certainly abounding throughout the world.  The latest to see fruition is what is happening in Israel.  To my consternation, it appears as if the conspiracies surrounding Israel are greater than I had foreseen.  Because of how I view world events through the prophetic lens of Scripture, I anticipated that the war currently underway with Hamas had to happen at some point in these treacherous days.  What I didn’t expect was that a conspiracy within Israel itself – within its own government – would play an integral role in the events that are unfolding before our very eyes.

The question I immediately posed upon the advent of these hostilities was – given their extreme nature: Is this the beginning of the Psalm 83 War?  It made no sense to me that it would be the Ezekiel 38 War, a.k.a. the War of Gog of Magog.  Hamas isn’t in any way a member of the coalition attacking Israel in that major, prophetic conflict.  The conspirators in that extremely significant war are Russia, Iran, Turkey, and others – none of which directly border or inhabit Israel.

Hamas is the enemy within.  As I’ve continued to say: if Hezbollah joins the fray along with other combatants from Israel’s neighboring hostile states, it certainly seems like we’ve got a match for the Psalm 83 War.  To date, we’ve got some participation from Hezbollah as they fire a limited number of missiles at Israel.  Will they join this war as a full-fledged active partner with Hamas?  If so, the prophetic significance is huge.

The disturbing and confusing aspect of all this is the absolute unpreparedness of the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF).  That makes no sense unless there’s a lot more going on conspiratorially than certainly I expected.

We’ll take a look at all this to see what sense we can make of it.  First, let’s pray and read from God’s Word.

<PRAY>

Scripture:

Psalm 83:1-2

O God, do not keep silence;
    do not hold your peace or be still, O God!
For behold, your enemies make an uproar;
    those who hate you have raised their heads.

The Israel Conspiracy

• Let’s first discuss once more the possibility of this being the Psalm 83 War
• I’ve covered the potential for such a conflict numerous times, the latest being earlier this year in a Prophecy Update titled A Soon-Coming Psalm 83 Proxy War and subsequently in a Commentary titled Israel’s Psalm 83 Prophesied Land Grab
• You can watch those or read their transcripts at the links on my website as part of this update
• There are many who believe the Ezekiel 38 War is next on the prophetic war timeline for Israel
• That has never made sense to me because of which nations are involved in this War of Gog of Magog
• None of them directly share any borders with Israel
• The problem is that in the Ezekiel prophecy, not a single one of the hostile nations that are immediate neighbors to Israel is listed
• How could that be?
• Israel is not exactly in the midst of the friendliest of nations
• If a coalition of hostile nations, including Iran, attacks Israel, wouldn’t you think that Iran’s proxies in and around Israel would willingly – joyfully – join in the attack?
• The fact is that the prophecy doesn’t mention them – in fact every single attacker in the Gog-Magog War is a nation at least one country removed from Israel’s borders
• It doesn’t make sense unless something occurs to significantly inhibit those nations directly bordering Israel from being a factor and engaging in the war
• When we examine the Ezekiel War prophecy, there are also notable conditions that must be met
• Note these verses:

Ezekiel 38:14

“Therefore, son of man, prophesy, and say to Gog, Thus says the Lord God: On that day when my people Israel are dwelling securely, will you not know it?

Ezekiel 38:10-12

“Thus says the Lord God: On that day, thoughts will come into your mind, and you will devise an evil scheme and say, ‘I will go up against the land of unwalled villages. I will fall upon the quiet people who dwell securely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having no bars or gates,’ to seize spoil and carry off plunder, to turn your hand against the waste places that are now inhabited, and the people who were gathered from the nations, who have acquired livestock and goods, who dwell at the center of the earth.

• We see in Ezekiel 38:14 that Israel is dwelling securely
• Ezekiel 38:10-12 echoes that by telling us Israel is a land of unwalled villages; it is populated by a quiet people who dwell securely, and that the population of Israel is dwelling without walls, and having no bars or gates
• Can someone with a straight face say that with Hamas in Israel’s midst within the walls and fences of Gaza creates a secure land?
• How often has Hamas launched missiles and fire balloons against the neighboring towns in Israel?
• For the record, Judea and Samaria – which is incorrectly called the West Bank – is surrounded by high fencing and contains numerous Arabs/Muslims who would like nothing better than to destroy Israel
• How about with Hezbollah to the north in Lebanon?
• This Iran proxy has built up a significant missile and armaments stockpile
• Its terrorists have repeatedly tunneled under the walls that make up the border and have periodically succeeded in hostile activities against innocent Israelis living nearby
• Israel has many bomb shelters for the very fact that her citizens must flee to them at regular intervals when missiles start firing from Gaza
• Never mind that the missiles haven’t been terribly accurate to this point; they are a definite threat
• Given this situation on the ground, nobody can tell me that Israel is living in such a manner as described in these Ezekiel verses
• The other phrase of importance in verse 12 is the desire of the Ezekiel attackers to plunder Israel and carry off spoil
• It has been assumed that Israel’s gas and oil resources will be among those sought after by these countries which attack her in that war
• This is very different from the intent of Hamas and Hezbollah
• What do they want?
• Under the pretense that it’s for a so-called Palestinian people who have inhabited the land since time immemorial, they want nothing more than to annihilate Israel
• To this point, here is a quote from an article at Israel365news:

For all the geopolitical analysis we will read in the coming days, the conflict is actually quite simple. Nothing has changed since Amalek after the Exodus. The Hamas charter calls for the murder of Jews and for the eradication of the entire Jewish state. This is not about any “occupied territory” or “two-state solution.” The enemies of Israel want to destroy us. And they seek to prevent us from building our nation in the land of Israel. 

• The Arabs living in Gaza and Judea and Samaria have been deceived on a grand scale and brainwashed from infancy to hate Israel because of her so-called occupation of Palestinian territory
• In fact, their slogan is that “From the River to the Sea, Palestine will be free”
• Never mind that the idea of a Palestinian people is a complete fabrication
• What does this mean?
• It’s not about a theoretical two-state solution
• It’s about the complete elimination of the Jewish people in Israel whereby they are effectively driven into the Mediterranean Sea and perish
• This of course is the reason any efforts toward a two-state solution are a farce and doomed to fail
• The bottom line for arguing that Psalm 83 must happen prior to Ezekiel is contained in these truths
• Why?
• Because the conditions of the prophecy demand it
• In its current configuration with enemies at her doorstep, Israel cannot be considered as a people dwelling securely without fortifications
• It has a hostile people in her midst that don’t just want to plunder her, they want to utterly destroy her
• Psalm 83 speaks of a conspiracy to accomplish these purposes of annihilation and plunder
• Note Psalm 83:5:

For they conspire with one accord;
against you they make a covenant—

• Due to the massive nature of the attack, with the very real possibility of Hezbollah joining fully into the fray, these are good odds pointing toward the Psalm 83 War, especially because of where the end-time timeline appears to be
• Bible prophecy watchers are mostly in accord that we are very near the beginning of the 7-year Tribulation
• In and around that the prophesied hostilities involving Israel must occur now or very shortly
• Israel is God’s divine timeclock
• His ultimate intent in the Tribulation is to restore Israel as a God-fearing nation which proclaims Jesus Christ as Messiah
• Because of how far Israel has strayed from that necessity, God, as He always has, must bring great distress to His Chosen People to wake them up to the reality that they are His and He will not let them worship other gods
• In ancient Israel, He cast them out of the land
• That’s pretty drastic
• That won’t happen this time
• He will redeem them in the land
• But in the land, they will face the greatest of all threats during this coming time of Jacob’s Trouble
• Getting to that period however requires the set-up from the Psalm 83 War, then the Ezekiel 38 War
• Psalm 83 will be won by the IDF after a difficult conflict
• We’re certainly seeing this potential right now
• Once Israel wins Psalm 83, her neighborhood changes
• Islam among her bordering nations is rendered feckless and without strength
• This is why there will be none of these nations joining into Gog-Magog
• There’s no there – there with the so-called Palestinians any longer
• As grievous as it is for us to witness what is happening in Israel, it must happen in order for God to accomplish His purposes in the earth
• The situation is very conflicting
• Who wants to see the deaths of so many Israelis in such a brutal manner?
• Who wants to see the faces of beautiful young women who have been taken hostage – knowing that likely most of them will be savagely raped and killed?
• Who wants to come to the realization that some who are caught up in this conflict are citizens of other nations – Americans included – many of whom were there on tour?
• Yet with all these tragedies, this means that God may very well be allowing them to happen so that the final Biblical prophecies can move forward
• We who are aware of these prophetic events on one hand obviously want them to happen because that brings us closer to the pre-Tribulation Rapture
• But did we count on such atrocities to bring us to this point?
• I didn’t
• So, yes, I want the conditions for the Tribulation to fall completely into place so that the Rapture will quickly occur
• But I hate the fact that they are happening with such a murderous intent
• As I say: it’s confusing and conflicting

• This brings us to how this attack could have occurred in the first place
• Israeli intelligence agencies are generally acknowledged as the best and most informed in the world
• It’s been said that if a rabbit hops by the Gaza security fence, Israeli intelligence knows it
• The Israeli Defense Forces are among the best trained and most alert in the world
• With such hostile neighbors, Israel has traditionally had to always be on yellow alert – ready to move at a moment’s notice against any incursions into her territory
• The question thus being asked is: How could this attack have occurred and NOBODY watching over Israel’s interests knew about it?
• Worse, is: How could the attack have begun and the IDF wasn’t deployed in counter-measures for several hours?
• None of this makes sense
• This is not the Israel we know
• For such unpreparedness to happen, there had to something that caused it at the highest levels of government
• There are some who are pointing at Benjamin Netanyahu as the source of the problem
• It bothers me that he could be involved in somehow betraying his people
• His military past and how he’s worked to provide a secure Israel are legendary
• Yet during the COVID fiasco, Netanyahu made sure Israel was first in line to receive the Pfizer mRNA vaxx
• Was he deceived?
• Maybe
• But, has he apologized for pushing these shots to a very high percentage of the Israeli population after seeing the aftermath of adverse effects?
• I’m not aware that he has
• Many patriotic Americans still love and trust Donald Trump, but has he ever acknowledged the harm for these jabs that he authorized under Operation Warp Speed?
• No
• In fact, he’s doubled down on how they saved lives
• Does that make any sense?
• Is he that proud that he cannot admit he made a mistake?
• Or is there something more nefarious going on with him and he’s compromised in some way?
• Are Trump and Netanyahu two peas in a pod in this regard?
• It’s very troubling to consider such things
• If Netanyahu wasn’t aware of the intelligence issues and isn’t actually part of the problem, then that means there is major treason within his government
• That or extreme incompetence – perhaps both
• Has Israel gone woke to the degree that America has?
• Are the intelligence agencies such as Mossad no different now than the FBI and CIA here in our country?
• Does Mossad have an ulterior motive to cooperate with the globalists so as to move Israel toward a One World Government?
• And by facilitating a horrific attack like this, do they hope to weaken Israel and make it a non-entity just like the globalists wish to do with America?
• Here is an update to this Update: as of Monday afternoon, it appears as if Iron Dome was hacked
• What about Israel’s other defense or intelligence systems?
• This aspect of potential treason behind this terrible conflict currently underway just adds to the confusion and chaos
• There has certainly been a conspiracy in some measure

• Another update is that there have been reports of mortars launched from Syria
• If this is the case, significant prophetic outcomes could be the result
• Of course in all that’s happening there’s no doubt Iran is a major instigator behind it all
• I’ll discuss these issues in a subsequent Prophecy Update
• For now, I’ll just say that we should keep watch to see if there is military involvement from Egypt, Jordan, and Iraq
• That will tell us a lot about where this war will go

• It also wouldn’t surprise me in the least if the Biden Regime has somehow been instrumental
• Contrary to the vacuous assurances from Joe Biden that America stands side-by-side with Israel, we know that’s an absolute lie
• Biden – actually, his handlers – wouldn’t even invite Netanyahu to the White House after his victory as Prime Minister
• When Obama was president, he made Netanyahu enter into the White House by way of the kitchen entrance or some such
• The leftists in Washington, DC have no use for Israel and no desire to honor her or our prior commitments in any way
• This is another reason why thinking that Netanyahu would somehow be in league with and agreeable to any schemes that Biden and company could have put forth to harm Israel is difficult to imagine
• But, of course, we have trouble comprehending how our own government could act so consistently against the interests of the American people
• Money talks
• So does incriminating evidence against someone which these people are expert at accumulating
• But also, ideology makes people commit a lot of unimaginable acts

• We’ll see how this war plays out

• I’m not ready yet to be dogmatic about it being Psalm 83, but there’s a lot of mounting evidence that it could be
• Speaking of dogmatic . . .
• If this indeed turns out to be the Psalm 83 War, will those Bible teachers who have adamantly denied such a war could occur acknowledge it?
• If it somehow morphed into the Gog-Magog War, would I say I was wrong?
• Of course
• I’ve said this many times: Not a single one of us who teaches Bible prophecy is going to get everything right
• God reserves that privilege for Himself
• We have to humble ourselves to His omniscience and purposes
• What I hope will happen is that God will expose the evil plans of those who conspire against Israel
• I hope that He will lay bare the individuals within the Israeli government, in every agency and at every level, so that their treachery becomes known
• If that’s Benjamin Netanyahu at the forefront – so be it
• If he is not involved and this was a set-up against him, I pray that will also be made known
• Either way, we as God’s people could benefit from the truth, and I sincerely hope that the Lord shows us
• In the meantime, I suggest we do exactly what the Bible commands us to do
• We are to pray for the peace of Jerusalem
• That peace will not come until Jesus sits on His throne in this City of God during the Millennium, but we are to pray for the Lord to do what He must so that this coming, glorious age can begin
