For as long as any of us have been alive, those that study the Bible have been warning us that there would be an apocalyptic war in the Middle East in the end times. Personally, I have specifically warned about this war in many of my books. Now a great end times war is playing out in the Middle East right in front of our eyes, but a lot of people out there still don’t seem to get it. This isn’t just another war in the Middle East. What we are witnessing is the final showdown between Israel and Iran.

On Tuesday, Iran shocked the entire world when it fired large numbers of missiles into Israel. The following comes from CNN…
Missiles have been launched from Iran toward Israel and sirens are sounding across the country, according to a statement from Israel’s military.
CNN teams on the ground in multiple locations across Israel have observed dozens of missiles flying above them. Some have been intercepted by Israel’s air defenses, although it is not clear how many.
There are conflicting reports about the exact number of missiles that were fired at Israel.
But everyone seems to agree that “hundreds” of missiles were in the air, and videos posted on social media appear to show many of them making impact.
Iran is claiming that 80 percent of their missiles made it through, and the IDF is admitting that at least some of the missiles were not intercepted…
Iran’s state TV claimed that 80 percent of their missiles launched at Israel hit their target. It’s unclear exactly what the targets were.
Israeli army spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari said the country’s air defense system was fully operational, detecting and intercepting threats.
‘However, the defense is not hermetic,’ he noted.
Just prior to Iran’s attack, the White House warned that there would be “severe consequences” if Iran launched missiles at Israel…
White House and Defense Department had warned earlier that Iran was preparing to launch ballistic missiles at Israel.
“We are actively supporting defensive preparations to defend Israel against this attack. A direct military attack from Iran against Israel will carry severe consequences for Iran,” a senior White House official told NBC News.
So what will those “severe consequences” look like?
Is the Biden administration about to fire missiles at Iran?
The Israelis are also promising to respond “in the place and the time we determine”, but we don’t know any specifics at this stage.
If the Israelis strike back at Iran, and I am entirely convinced that they will, the Iranians are warning that they will launch a “crushing attack”…
“Should the Zionist regime respond to Iran’s operation, it will face crushing attack,” said the IRGC, Iran’s paramilitary organization.
This is not going to end well, but most of you already knew that.
Just before Iranian missiles were launched on Tuesday, there was a horrifying terror attack in Jaffa that resulted in the deaths of eight people…
Eight people were killed and at least seven wounded, as well as a dog, in a shooting terror attack in Jaffa, in central Israel, on Tuesday evening, Magen David Adom reported.
At least four people were reported critically wounded. Magen David Adom announced that the incident involved multiple causalities.
The shooting occurred near a light rail station in the central Israeli city. Two terrorists who were observed exiting the train were shot dead by security forces.
We should expect to see a lot more terror attacks in the days ahead.
Now that IDF forces have entered southern Lebanon, there is no turning back. Israeli Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari is characterizing the incursions into southern Lebanon as “localized raids”, but everyone realizes that this is just the beginning.
