Why Israel vs Iran Is NOT Ezekiel 38

Why Israel vs Iran Is NOT Ezekiel 38

This is such an amazing time to be alive. We’re watching events take place that the Bible predicted some 2600 years ago. 

As we breathlessly watch the reports of Iran and Israel launching missiles at each other, CNN is reporting that 75% of all Americans support President Trump taking whatever action necessary to keep Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons. CNN! 

The prophet Ezekiel, who lived most of his life in Babylon during Israel’s 70 years of captivity, predicted in the latter days that Persia (Iran) would be an enemy of Israel. 

Ezekiel said Persia (Iran) would invade Israel, along with other nations led by Russia. But what we are watching today going on between Israel and Iran is NOT this often-discussed Ezekiel 38/39 invasion. Here’s why…

Ezekiel 37, 38 and 39 are three amazing prophetic chapters.

Ezekiel 37 predicts Israel’s amazing return in the latter days (Ezek 38:8a) to her God-given homeland after being dispersed for some 2000 years (Hos.6:1-2). It also mentions Israel will have a strong army (Ezek.37:10b).

Ezekiel 38 says that Israel will be living securely (Ezek. 38:8d). Israel is not living securely in her land. That comes with the post-Rapture covenant with the New World Leader.

Ezekiel 38 discusses several nations led by Russia who will invade Israel to gain her gold and silver riches (Ezek 38: 11-13).

Ezekiel 39 describes what the land is like after what appears to be some type of nuclear event (Ezek. 39:12,14-16; Zech. 14:12).

(Note: Those verses don't say that the nuclear weapons used in this invasion against Israel come from Iran. They might only be nuclear weapons from Russia.)

Iran is much larger in size than Israel. Roughly the size of Texas vs. the size of New Jersey. (See picture above.)

But land size is about the only edge Iran has over Israel. Iran is back on her heels because once Israel began last week, she has completely dominated the air space over Iran. 

Iran’s Supreme Leader, Khomeini, is warning that Iran will not surrender, but it must be a negotiating tactic. So many of Iran’s leaders are being picked off via Israel's pinpoint bombings that those still alive are fleeing the country in droves.

Khomeini sounds like Saddam Hussein, when in 1991 he warned the “Mother Of All Wars” was about to begin. It was all talk and Iraq lost badly. Now it's Iran's turn to lose badly as Israel, backed by the U.S., is far superior militarily.

But for sure, Iran (Persia) will invade Israel, along with Russia and other nations, but this happens roughly one and a half years to two years after the Rapture, at the time of the first of two great earthquakes in the Tribulation.(4)

Despite Russia and Iran recently signing agreements to work together, it's clear the Ezekiel 38 nations don’t invade Israel until after the Rapture, at  the earthquake that happens during the 6th Seal.

...on that day [of the Ezek. 38/39 invasion] there will surely be a great earthquake in the land of Israel. The fish of the sea, the birds of the heavens, the beasts of the field, all the creeping things that creep on the earth, and all the men who are on the face of the earth will shake at My presence; the mountains also will be thrown down, the steep pathways will collapse and every wall will fall to the ground. Ezek. 38:19,20

The sky was split apart like a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.….Rev. 6:14

and there was a great earthquake, such as there had not been since man came to be upon the earth, so great an earthquake was it, and so mighty. Rev. 6:18b 

And today, Israel doesn’t have any gold and silver treasures to capture.(2) Well, actually they do have the treasures, they just don’t know where they are just yet. 

But Israel WILL locate those long lost treasures, eventually. We know this because when Russia invades, nations of the world will pose the question:

“Have you come to capture spoil? Have you assembled your company to seize plunder, to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to capture great spoil?” Ezek. 38:13b

So the world will have learned of the immense treasure Israel will locate.

I recently received a message from an Israeli archaeological team that we think is well on its way to finding a LOT of Biblical artifacts. 

Obviously, if they find some of King Solomon’s treasure hidden by the Prophet Jeremiah, they find them all… including the $100 trillion treasure trove. 

What this archeological team has found so far is eye-opening. But they had to stop their archeological dig when the October 7, 2023 Gaza massacre began, and then stop a second time when the Israel/Iranian war began. They are set to start back up in October. 

So everything we’re watching today between Israel and Iran can only be setting up what will take place after our exhilarating and fascinating exit! 

Revelation 18 says that God’s military hammer of the world (Jer. 50:23, 51:23), the nation who is a golden cup in the hand of the Lord (Jer. 51:7), will be the world‘s largest exporter of goods at the time of the Rapture. 

This rich and prosperous nation(3), full of foreigners (Jer. 50:37) will be buying goods from everybody around the world. And just after the Rapture, she’s destroyed by God due to her worldwide drug distribution. God destroys her because:

all the nations were deceived by your sorcery [Greek=Pharmakia, i.e. drugs] Rev. 18:23b

When God wipes out this rich and powerful country the world is literally horrified that they have no one to buy all their goods.

For in one hour your judgment has come. And the merchants of the earth weep and mourn over her, because no one buys their cargoes any more— Rev. 18:10b-11

I think this could only be the USA. And if we are in the last days time slot that I believe we’re in, it makes sense that President Trump‘s tariff policies will work amazingly well. 

This is because the Bible promises there will be food and drink, energy, construction, farming, social events … right up until the Rapture (Matt. 24:37-38, Luke 17:26-30).

And we know the Rapture is only a surprise for those not paying attention:

But you, brethren [Believers], are not in darkness, that the day would overtake you like a thief; for you are all sons of light and sons of day. We are not of night nor of darkness; 1Th. 5:4-5

when you [Believers] see all these things, recognize that He is near, right at the door. Matt. 24:33

Therefore, as I’ve mentioned before, it’s entirely possible we may be in the beginning of seven years of prosperity that will be followed by seven years of starvation horror we call the Tribulation. Sound familiar? Think "Joseph in Egypt."

Or, the Rapture might happen today, or this September at Rosh Hashanah, or next year at Pentecost. Regardless, it sure is a fascinating time to be alive. And Israel/Iran will soon conclude to Israel's advantage. Or, we're really close to the Rapture!

Before the foundations of the earth were laid, God determined we would be alive on the earth at this time for His reasons.

Again, we believe we’re so close to the end of the Church Age that we should be warning people that the Rapture is dead ahead, followed by the 7-year Tribulation.

And if someone misses the Rapture, they can still Believe the Gospel and go to heaven!

We know this because there is an uncountable number who die and go to heaven from within the 7-Year Tribulation. 

After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could count, from every nation and all tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, and palm branches were in their hands; Rev. 7:9

They just can't take the Mark of the Beast!

Then another angel, a third one, followed them, saying with a loud voice, “If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand, he also will drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is mixed in full strength in the cup of His anger; and he will be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever; they have no rest day and night, those who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name.” Rev. 14:9-11

So pray that the Lord will open doors to share the eternal truth we know. 

praying … that God will open up to us a door for the word, so that we may speak forth the mystery of Christ, Col. 4:3b

Use us, Lord!

So this section is to offer more insight into our adversary's worldwide actions to help us make good decisions between now and our exciting exit.

China's Buying Lots Of Gold With U.S. Dollars

ZeroHedge Reports:

China has quietly executed one of the most aggressive gold accumulation strategies in the world.

The People’s Bank of China (PBoC) has now increased its gold reserves for 18 consecutive months—adding more than 300 metric tons since late 2022. Official holdings now top 2,200 tons, the highest ever. But some analysts believe the real figure could be far larger.

Behind this buying spree is a clear motivation: reduce exposure to U.S. dollar assets.

It’s not just the central bank. In April 2025, Chinese investors funneled over 70 metric tons into gold ETFs—more than doubling any previous monthly record.

Unlike chicken and beef, which must also be approved for sale by the USDA, cultivated seafood doesn’t need approval from the USDA — the FDA is the final authority for Wildtype, The Verge reported.

Based on its assessment of Wildtype’s data, the agency said it didn’t find any basis to dispute the company’s safety assessment.

That means that all safety testing of lab-grown fish cells has been conducted by the company seeking to market it.

That's a recipe for disaster...especially considering:

Abortion Pill 22 Times Worse Than Admitted

Article

CLICK HERE

One of the authors of a shocking new study suggesting abortion pill complications are 22 times higher than reported on the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved drug label  is calling on the agency to use real-world data to conduct its own research.

A study from the Ethics and Public Policy Center (EPPC) released at the end of April found that 10.93 percent of women who had mifepristone abortions — the first drug used in a two-drug medication abortion regimen — experienced severe complications including sepsis, infection, hemorrhaging, or another serious adverse event within 45 days following the abortion. This percentage is significantly higher than the less than 0.5 percent in clinical trials reported on the FDA-approved drug label.




Transgender Ban Upheld

From 1440 Daily Digest:

The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 yesterday to uphold Tennessee’s ban on medical treatments for transgender minors. The court found the law did not amount to sex discrimination, barred under the 14th Amendment’s equal protection clause.

An estimated 300,000 children ages 13 to 17 supposedly identify as transgender in the US (42,000 kids received gender dysphoria diagnoses as of 2021, up nearly threefold from 2017).

Tennessee is one of 27 states restricting or banning medical interventions for those kids, including hormone therapy, puberty blockers, and surgery.

The Supreme Court ruling is expected to pave the way for state bans to remain in effect, though some legal questions—including on parents’ rights—remain unresolved.

Jeff Childers explains:

The implications of that decision ripple far beyond mere medical regulations.

The shift is legally tectonic. Nobody yet knows how broadly it will reach. It is perhaps the US equivalent to the UK High Court’s recent earth-shattering decision in Forstater v. CGD Europe, which clarified that the terms “woman” and “man” under UK law refer to biological sex, not gender identity, unless explicitly defined otherwise. And even whenever it is otherwise defined, the High Court explained, legal sex classifications are not infinitely malleable.

In the UK, that means even trans women with valid “Gender Recognition Certificates” may still be excluded from women’s domestic abuse shelters based on their biological sex, so long as it’s a proportionate means of achieving a legitimate aim. The UK ruling emphasized that the word “woman” means biological female, not gender on a certificate, undermining things like prosecutions for pronoun transgressions.

All that sounds like common sense. But, as you well know, we live in an age where common sense has become somewhat scarce.

#protectyourfamily
I'll never vaccinate again

❤I'm a RN of 26 years.
-I've run flu vaccine clinics in the stores.
-I've run a vaccine clinic at a national guard armory.
-My 3 adult children are fully Vaccinated (my youngest is missing 1 booster).
-I've worked in both adult care and pediatrics, hospital and home healthcare.

If I could do it all over again
I would have NEVER vaccinated my children or myself.

💪In nursing school, I graduated Cum Laude from a prestigious Jesuit University with a 3.75 GPA.  I was the last class of students who took the 2 day test for licensure and passed the first try.  I've always been proud of myself in being a VERY conscientious nurse always doing right for my patients, guarding them from any and all harm, because I truly wanted to help them get better....as better as possible.  I took my oath seriously!

🗣All we learned in nursing school was:
1) the schedule
2) side effects (the minor ones)
3) never, ever to give vaccines to anyone who is sick, feels like they're getting sick or exposed to someone sick recently....or pregnant women or women planning to become pregnant
4) how to administer them...always pulling back on the plunger to make sure you aren't in a blood vessel when injecting the solution. (I never see that being done anymore).

😱I never considered that vaccines had an ingredients list and truly beLIEved that everything I was taught about vaccines, was everything there was to know.
I naively thought vaccines contained:
1) viral/bacterial component
2) a small amount of immune stimulator (nothing harmful)
3) saline

I look back and think,
"how could I be so naive?"🤦

*I remember a time when we used to have patients sign the signature line ON THE INSERTS, rip them off and keep them and GIVE THE INSERTS to the patients.  I don't know when that practice stopped, and a 8x11 sheet of paper, with minimal information, was handed out instead.

*I remember holding down my kids for the nurses to administer their shots so they could stay healthy.  😢
*I remember being so conscientious about their vaccines that I had them at their visits when they were due.  😞
*I remember 2 soldiers asking me why they always seemed to get sick after getting the flu vaccine and my robotic answer.  They looked at each other almost as if to say "see, told you so", and walked away.
*I remember, after recovering my health naturally with nutrition, and having already learned about Dr Max Gerson after my sister passed from brain cancer at 52yo, asking God what else I didn't know.
🤔"What else wasn't I taught in nursing school?"🤦

That was shortly after Vaxxed: From Coverup To Catastrophe video came out.

*I remember the 3 months it took to finally watch it because I was horrified at the thought. 🙈
*I remember the sobs watching it.   I remember the sobs many days and nights after that.  😭
*I remember the endless hours, days, months watching the vaxxed stories while my kids were at school.  😭
*I remember the endless hours reading articles and comment sections, linking to research and more articles and posts and documentaries and videos.  (Keep commenting—people are watching and learning in there—that's where I found a lot of information to research!)❤
*I remember watching seminars and doctors and immunologists and researchers and....and....and...
So many nights up for 48 hours because I couldn't put it away to sleep.  There was too much to learn.  To much to realize that I wasn't taught in nursing school.🙄

😞How could I have been so naive?

*I remember coming to the realization that my own kids are vaccine injured:
ADHD
Asthma
Allergies
Tonsilectomies
Learning challenges
Auditory processing Delay
Stuttering
Severe Respiratory Distress
After 6 mos shots (DTaP)
Severe separation anxiety
Severe GERD
Gastrointestinal issues
Candida overgrowth
Not to mention my own issues:
6 autoimmune diseases
*And they didn't have to have all the challenges they have.

😭Nothing is worst though, than the horror at the thought that, at my hands, someone could've been injured, or worst yet, died.

❤I became a nurse because I've always wanted to help people.
I hate seeing suffering, I hate people being in pain.  I want to alleviate suffering of any kind and that's why I studied so hard, to know what I needed to know to help people.  🤦

That's why I'll always speak up now!

I've been the target of many trolls and troll groups.  They don't phase me.  God has my back! He will protect me and my children.  The armour of God will shield us from evil.  I will honor God and all those I could be responsible for inadvertently harming by always being outspoken.  I will do what I can to help others understand why I went from very much for vaccines to never consenting for another one again.

I had a dear friend and momma of a severely autistic boy ask me one time:
"How come you never said anything and stood up for us earlier in your nursing career?"

My answer: "Because no one ever said anything to me."

I seriously had no idea till 3 years ago.

🙇Please, keep talking to medical professionals.  Lead them to the information.  Ask them questions and help plant seeds of curiosity in their brains.  Don't give up on us.  My turning point was when someone in an article comment thread asked me if I knew what MRC-5 and WI-38 are and what those are in.  That's all it took.

You never know when something you say with love and compassion will stick and set them on their own path of education and awareness.  You never know what warrior you're waking up and activating.  We don't know more than you, help us realize that!❤
---and Please, forgive us for our attitudes in reaction.  We ARE taught that in nursing school! 😉
