Israel and the Iranian Threat: A Prophetic Perspective
by: Mike Wingfield Listen to Audio Here
Israel is finally delivering a devastating blow to the nuclear Iranian threat. For decades, Israel has listened to the belligerent calls for their destruction coming from the radical Islamic regime in Iran. During this same time, Iran planted radical terrorist proxy elements along Israel’s northern and southern borders. Hamas and Hezbollah, along with other Islamic groups, were trained and funded by Iran. Their goal was to bring about the annihilation of Israel, and their intentions were made clear during the barbaric Hamas invasion of Israel on October 7, 2023.
In the early hours of June 13, Israel began “Operation Rising Lion.” The Israeli attacks on Iran are ongoing. This operation was meticulously planned by the Israeli intelligence agencies and military leadership. The precision and success of the initial strikes stunned the world.
Israel has declared that this operation will continue until its objectives are achieved. The IDF has already inflicted major damage on Iran’s military infrastructure. Nuclear facilities have been obliterated, military leaders eliminated, nuclear scientists assassinated, and other key installations destroyed. Iran's military was embedded within the civilian population of Tehran, putting millions at risk.
Despite international pressure, Iran refuses to abandon its nuclear ambitions. The destruction of Iran’s nuclear program is shifting the power balance in the Middle East. For years, Shiite Iran has been a threat to the Sunni nations of the Persian Gulf. Iran’s defeat could prompt more Sunni states to join the Abraham Accords and normalize relations with Israel. This move brings the region closer to the prophesied false covenant with the Antichrist.
Iran’s allies—Russia, Turkey, and China—have condemned Israel’s actions. This response aligns with the prophetic coalition described in Ezekiel 38, the Gog and Magog war. The stage is being set. Based on the timeline of end-time events, this invasion may occur just before or after the Rapture of the church.
Jeremiah 49:34–39 offers prophetic insight about Iran, known in ancient times as Elam. God declares that He will “break the bow of Elam,” destroy its leaders, and scatter its people among the nations. These verses describe disaster, defeat, and dispersion—likely a result of nuclear contamination. This would trigger international displacement and set the stage for the Ezekiel 38 invasion, as a remnant of evil joins with Russia and Turkey against Israel. Eventually, a godly remnant from Iran will return to serve the Lord in His Millennial Kingdom (Jeremiah 49:38–39).
Friends, what we are witnessing in this war is forming the very coalition of Ezekiel 38. It is establishing the environment for the rise of the Antichrist and his base of operations in the Middle East.
The fireworks leading to the Tribulation are igniting right before our eyes.
Be ready for the shout that will take us out!

I’m at it again—mulling over the insanity of our day, even though such absurdities were predicted for the last days. I say a dozen times a day, “I never thought I would see the day.” Be honest. You do, too!
Here’s my current list:
I never thought I would see the day:
When churches would see our mind-numbing headlines and stories and suggest that there are perhaps a hundred or a thousand years before Jesus returns! They say we’ve always had perilous times. Nothing is new.
I never thought I would see the day:
The World Economic Forum would meet the week it was minus 40 degrees in my hometown and obsess over global warming and electric vehicles, since they don’t function well right now in Minneapolis. And all of us are cheering for global warming.
I never thought I would see the day:
When the champion of the hurting around the world, the Red Cross, would deny care and medication to Israeli hostages and instead scold the hostages for Gaza’s destruction.
I never thought I would see the day:
When the International Court of Justice would declare Israel guilty of genocide when it was Israel who experienced a genocidal attack. Imagine, portions of the free world siding with barbarians rather than a democratic ally. Did someone say “upside down world?”
I never thought I would see the day:
All of the leaders of sanctuary cities and states would be screaming bloody murder to keep illegals out of their sanctuary cities and states.
I never thought I would see the day:
When a U.S. Secretary of State would tell another country—Israel—they cannot win a war. They cannot defeat terrorists who perpetrated genocide on them.
I never thought I would see the day:
I would watch entire church denominations side with those who perpetrated the worst slaughter of Jews since the Holocaust. What Bible are they reading? They believe Jesus was a Palestinian. Really?
I never thought I would see the day:
The nation of Nigeria, with its Christian population nearly decimated by Muslims, not be put on Washington’s 2024 persecution watch list!
I never thought I would see the day:
When Democrats admit that Hamas or the Taliban or al-Qaida may be crossing our southern border and then brag about our strong national security! Reprobate minds see upside down.
I never thought I would see the day:
When the world would favor elements of society who cry “Death to Israel” and “Death to America” and glorify these thugs. When “Israel Derangement Syndrome” would overtake entire nations, and when universities would favor them, even as Jews hide in closets and secret rooms.
I never thought I would see the day:
When at the most significant time in history, believers would talk about “rapture fatigue” and “end-time burn-out” because they were tired of watching and waiting for Christ’s return. It’s just taking too long.
I never thought I would see the day:
When the tragedy of Lahaina, Maui—with all of its mystery and likely conspiracy—would so quickly be forgotten and the people so pathetically abandoned.
And yet people still trust the government!
I never thought I would see the day:
When lockdowns would become a part of normal society! First it was Covid lockdowns. Now I am learning about climate lockdowns coming. I guess the mantra is, “You will go nowhere and be happy!”
I never thought I would see the day:
That the subject of Israel—who is the primary subject of the Bible—would be the issue causing enormous church splits since October 7. Denominations don’t want to acknowledge that Jews wrote our Bible or play a prominent role today. I guess theology matters to some, and their theology erases the nation of Israel!
I could go on for endless pages with further examples, sadly. The Bible is blunt that the last days would be perilous and filled with unruly and selfish people. It says society would be “given over” (Romans 1). We just didn’t think it would be this bad.
But God placed you and me in it for such a time as this! We are here on assignment and not by accident. We can be the salt and light needed for our times! The followers of Jesus Christ are to shine no matter what the circumstances and no matter how bad it gets.
Hang on a little longer. And it is the darkest before the dawn—the dawn being the glorious Rapture of the church when we leave this wicked planet behind! Only in Eternity will we cease being shocked by the world and by an upside-down society. Only then will everything make sense. Finally, I will be able to stop saying, “I never thought I would see the day.”

The world has been in an uncontrollable rage since October 7, 2023. We are witnessing global Israel Derangement Syndrome and renewed anti-Semitism more brutal than the 1930s. And towards whom is the rage directed? Towards those who were invaded, slaughtered and kept as hostages.
Imagine worldwide hatred against innocent victims and global sympathy for barbarians because Israel supposedly stole land. So, now it is occupied land—the provocation for the deadly pogrom. God’s land is not occupied territory. Jesus did not live in occupied territory. God owns it (Leviticus 25). He permanently gifted it to the Jews (Genesis 15).
The World Calls Evil Good!
Following the attack, the logic said that sympathy would eventually shift towards those who suffered the unspeakable blow, since many victims were women, children, and the elderly. Apparently not. The world stage featured, over several weeks, millions of people in global demonstrations on behalf of the terrorists—Hamas!

The End is in Sight
“And God said unto Noah, the end of all flesh is come before me.” Genesis 6:13
As we stand at this pivotal point in human history, those of us who study the prophetic Scriptures can clearly see the end of this age approaching! While we do not know exactly how much more time will elapse, we do know what the last seven years will look like.
During the days of the prophet Isaiah, at a time of great spiritual apostasy in Israel, God continually spoke through this great prophet to remind the children of Israel that He is the One and only true God, and there are no others. God evidence of this truth when He said to Israel, “Remember the former things of old, for I am God, and there is none else: I am God, and there is none like me, Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure” (Isaiah 46:9-10). This statement proves that He knows and orchestrates all events from the beginning to the end. Nothing surprises Him. All the efforts of Satan and his demons never catch the Lord off guard. Nothing that individuals and nations do can thwart His eternal purposes. Not one single event occurs outside of His all-inclusive will and eternal plan of the ages.
