“Foreshadow – “a warning or indication of a future event.” Oxford Languages
As I look at current events happening around the globe, I can see that they are foreshadowing things to come. We are watching a story unfold right before our eyes that is filled with hints as to what we can expect in the future.
Take Israel and Iran for example. When I watched the attack on Israel by Iran on April 14th, I could see this as an event that foreshadows another war that will come against Israel in the future. The Bible speaks of a war that will happen to Israel in the latter days. Found in Ezekiel 38, a coalition of forces from the extreme north of Israel (possibly Russia or Turkey) plus Iran, Sudan and Libya will come against Israel. Did you ever think that Iran would dare to strike Israel? Well, it happened. Carefully orchestrated and announced ahead of time so that their missiles would not actually hit major population centers, Iran announced to the world that it is not afraid to strike Israel. A line was crossed and there is no going back. When Iran and her allies are ready, they will invade and attack Israel.
When the time comes, will any nations help Israel? Sadly, Israel will be on her own, and we are currently watching the foreshadowing of this in cities around the world and on college campuses. Antisemitism is rearing its ugly head, and even when these demonstrations stop and the war in Gaza is over, people will continue to hate Israel. This antisemitism has taken root globally, and it will not easily be pulled out.
Not to worry, though. Even though men will not come to Israel’s defense, the Lord will strike the invading armies dead on the mountains of Israel. This will not be a pretty sight and will according to scripture affect the entire world when it sees this happen.
As we watch the foreshadowing of future events, what should our response be in this incendiary climate? For one thing, we must not be taken in by those who would hate the Jews because of the war in Gaza. We must do what we can to stand up for the people who are being persecuted in their synagogues and on college campuses. So much of this reminds me of what happened in Germany in the 1930s. Jewish hatred was whipped up within the population to the point that people believed they were subhuman. Once they were dehumanized they were systematically eliminated with little or no public outcry. We cannot let this begin to happen again, not on our watch.

Do all Agree with Hitler that the Treaty of Versalles (sp. hint, hint) – just plain wrong. The peace treay (sp. hint, hint) post WWII, just as equally flawed?
The peace of WWI, the flawed Treaty of Versalles (sp) which produced the League of Nations. The peace of WWII, the equally flawed Treay (sp) that permanently established Prussia as part of the nation of Poland, which likewise produced the United Nations.
Both this and that, an abomination of Great Power politics; Great Power attempts to determine the international borders, externally imposed upon defeated nation states.
Israel won all its wars, fought against all Arab countries who sought to extinguish the burning 2000+ years – Jewish flame – to restore our Nation in the Middle East. But the warring Arabs States did not fight and lose these wars alone. No, Great power States supported them. The USSR – now Russia – aids and abets the Arab war efforts which have produced defeat upon defeat upon defeat upon defeat upon defeat upon defeat upon defeat – like the 6 days of Creation.
The Shoah Crimes against Humanity produced and resulted in a horrible Jewish destruction. Yet 3 years following the extermination of 75% of European Jewry …… the Jewish state in the Middle East has risen from the death of g’lut/exile! Jews now rule our Homelands in the Middle East, to the utter horror and chagrin of the Arabs and their allied losers “the French”, & their British ally.
Recall both these 2nd rate powers, utterly failed to seize the Suez Canal in the 1956 War! Only 3 years after the death of Stalin’s Russia, France, and Britain subsumed, as the dominant Powers in the Great Power function to maintain the “balance of Power” between the competing “Great Powers” in the Middle East. Despite the British military victory at the 1942 battle of El Alamein.
If Israel, the UN clips its wings back to the 1947 proposed two State solution, America likewise ceases to exist as the dominant and controlling Great Power in Middle East politics. Hence whenever war explodes in the Middle East between Arabs and Jews, all the so-called ‘Great Powers’ & their attempt to manipulate the game to their own National advantage, their continued dominance over the Middle East region of world politics.
Had Britain and France, just one example, succeeded to seize the Suez Canal, would they not have thereafter dominated the ensuing politics of the States of the Middle East?
The ICC and ICJ courts, their attempts to dictate to Israel, to end the Oct 7th Abomination War … these foreign power cult of personality attempts of “Great Authority” intervention and domination over Israel, it directly compares to the 1956 War – where Britain and France attempted to seize the Suez Canal from the Egypt Nasser government! These 3rd rate courts, they have no more jurisdiction over Israel – than do the governments of England and Frogs vain efforts to intervene and dominate Nasser’s Egypt by seizing the Suez Canal.
