We're in a time of change.  The change started on October 7th with the invasion of Hamas and their devastating attacks on kibbutzim so close to Gaza. This period is also a very technical period where one can have a little robot gobble up dirt on the floor for you, where a voice you install tells you when to take your meds, AI (artificial intelligence) spacecraft going past the moon, etc.  It's different from the 1950s.                                    

Some people call this the END of TIMES, or the END OF DAYS,  though evidently our Israeli government wasn't quite aware of it. Those people happen to be Jews, Christians and Muslims)!   The government ignored a year ago warnings (Jericho Wall)  that came to them of what Hamas was up to and they didn't take it seriously.  

Warnings during the End of Times!  Insane, especially since so many Orthodox Jews are now in the government.  It looks like all the up to date security installed didn't do a thing.  It was all disabled first by the enemy.  People didn't even have any German shepherds to warn them.                                              

Well, it looks like our prophets talked a lot about the End of Times, and that was a good 3,000 years ago. Even 1,000 years ago, what was imagined for End of Days?  What was imagined for them so long ago when the End of Days would come?  Did they ever think we'd make it to the year 5783 (Hebrew calendar) ?

It looks to me like Isaiah spoke the most. He prophesied from (740-701 BCE) and was from a noble family connected with the royal court, put to death by King Manasseh of Judah (692-638 BCE) son of Hezekiah who succeeded him at the age of 12, one of the worst Jewish monarchs we've had. He had cancelled his father's reforms, reintroduced pagan practices.  he put to death those who opposed him. The traditional view is that all 66 chapters of the book of Isaiah were written by one man, Isaiah, possibly in two periods between 740 BC and c. 686 BC,.  

 According to the chart above, he spoke of dead bodies;  men being killed by fire (on Oct 7th it was everyone-during WWII, also everyone);  Earthquakes;  all nations gathered (UN forces?) to war;  a beast or anti-?( some false leader);   signs in the sky (UAPs-unidentified anomalous phenomena )  October 7th covers the dead bodies, death by fire, and UAPs clearly.  We've had earthquakes lately, and the UN is part of the problem aiding and abetting Hamas with their one unit of workers specifically created to help only the Palestinians since they have been on the dole the longest, staying in Refugee camps into the 3rd generation now;  signs in the sky-UFO/UAPs and false leaders galore.  

Yet, all the other prophets also had something to warn about as well.  I notice we were warned by Ezekiel and Daniel  of the KINGS of the North, South and East but not any from the WEST.  Interesting.  That could mean that the USA of the West was okay-well, they are one who is backing Israel to a point with Gaza and with Iran.  They do not understand totally what or why but care for their own standing in the world first, but that's understandable-to a point.

Mostly, the prophecies are about the happening when the Jews were taken by Nebuchadnezzar to Babylonia.  Many see this as prophecy for NOW.  To think that the prophecies were made before that fatal time in 597 BCE is amazing in itself; let alone think it was also going to be replayed again now.  Let's hope it wasn't as gory a time as it was on October 7th.

        Nebuchadnezzar, king from 605-562 BCE:  In 597 BCE he captured Jerusalem and exiled 8,000 of the local aristocracy  to Babylon. He had put 21 year old Zedekiah (597-586 BCE), son of Josiah,  in place of King Jehoiachin.  8 years later even Zedekiah rebelled, so Nebuchadnezzar invaded Jerusalem again in 586 BCE and this time destroyed the Temple and destroyed cities and exiling masses more of the population.  Zedekiah was taken to Riblah where they executed him.  His sons were killed before him on purpose and his eyes were put out before he was imprisoned in Babylon until his executed.   Daniel wrote a lot about Nebuchadnezzar.  

Daniel wasn't a prophet but is listed above as such.  He wrote.  His "10 nations" above about King Nebuchadnezzar's dream  interpretation that he didn't like28-But there is a God in heaven who reveals secrets, and He has informed King Nebuchadnezzar what will be at the End of Days.  Your dream, and the visions in your head on your bed, are these:  Interestingly, the writing started in Hebrew but switched to Aramaic from 2:4 until the end of chapter 7.  It's an interesting but convoluted story.  This king wanted to be the best in all of history and was told that as the chest is lower than the head, so will the kingdom that follows you, that of the Persians and Medes, be inferior to yours.  That's the end of days that Nebuchadnezzar thought of.  

US soldiers fire artillery in Afghanistan's Kandahar province in June 2011. Operation Enduring Freedom was launched in October 2001 to stop the Taliban regime from providing a safe haven to al Qaeda and to stop al Qaeda's use of Afghanistan as a base of operations for terrorist activities.

Notice what happened on October 7th in years earlier:  2001 War in Afghanistan begins:  American and British troops began air strikes against Al Qaeda and Taliban targets after the Taliban refused to hand over Osama bin-Laden, the mastermind of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, and other Al Qaeda operatives, to the United States.   Nicknamed Operation Enduring Freedom, the military strikes were part of the so-called Global War on Terror.The war on terror, officially the Global War on Terrorism, is a global military campaign initiated by the United States following the September 11, 2001 attacks and is the most recent global conflict spanning multiple wars. Perhaps 2001 was the countdown's beginning.  

  • 1944 Auschwitz-Birkenau Sonderkommando Revolt

    The short-lived rebellion was staged by prisoners who worked at a crematorium after they learned that the Nazis planned to execute most of the squad. The revolt was quickly put down, and over 450 people were killed.

  • Iran has replaced Nebuchadnezzar's power these days.  It seems that all the terrorist groups, Hamas, Hezbollah, etc, are backed by iran.  According to their Shi'a Muslim religion, "According to Shias, Mahdi will be looked upon to kill Dajjal to end the disintegration of the Muslim community, and to prepare for the reign of Isa (Jesus), who will rule for a time thereafter.  
    "
     Mahdi is a messianic figure in Islamic tradition who will "rid the world of bid'ah (innovation), reestablish Sunnah and teach religion...". The word Mahdi does not appear in the Quran (al-hadī, or "guide" appears twice), but is found in hadiths and is said to be the sign between Minor signs and Major signs of Day of Resurrection. Some Shia Muslims regard him as the first sign of the third period. Hadith reports state that he will be a descendant of Muhammad through Muhammad's daughter Fatimah and cousin Ali's son Hassan."  This must be saying it will be an Iranian, no doubt an Ayatollah.  What will he look like?  "He will be of Arab complexion, of average height, with a big forehead, large eyes, and a sharp nose. He will have a mole on his cheek, and be recognized by the Muslim community while he sits in his own home. As written by Abu Dawud, "Our Mahdi will have a broad forehead and a pointed (prominent) nose. He will fill the earth with justice as it is filled with injustice and tyranny. He will rule for seven years." Other sources say five or nine years."

  • Iran has not been the same since On January 16, 1979, the shah left the country, and Khomeini assumed control. He had been working with Israel.  

                  Fashion in pre-revolutionary Iran: Pahlavi Era 1950s-1970s ...

  •  Although the shah did not abdicate, a referendum resulted in the declaration on April 1, 1979, of an Islamic republic in Iran ruled with an Ayatollah-Khomeini.  In December 1979, a new Iranian constitution was approved, naming Khomeini as Iran's political and religious leader for life. Under his rule, Iranian women were denied equal rights and required to wear a veil,                         

  • Western culture was banned, and traditional Islamic law and its often-brutal punishments were reinstated. Sunnis were all worked up now.  

  • By 1979, The Palestine Islamic Jihad (PIJ) is a Sunni Islamist militant group seeking to establish an Islamist Palestinian state that is committed to the destruction of Israel. It is the second-largest militant group in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, founded in 1979 as an offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt. The group has drawn inspiration from the Iranian revolution and receives support from Iran, Syria, and Lebanese Hizballah. PIJ’s military wing, al-Quds Brigades, has been responsible for many attacks on Israeli targets since the 1990s. PIJ sometimes operates in coordination with HAMAS, although the groups have had a tense relationship because PIJ occasionally disagrees with HAMAS’s strategy for confronting Israel.
