A senior Israeli official told Kan News that a joint strike on Iran remains possible after the US midterms: “It’s clear to us that in any scenario, we strike together.”
US President Donald Trump has ordered US Central Command to prepare a plan for a strike on Iran, without setting a target date, Kan News reported Friday evening. The order put Israel's defense establishment on alert as well.
According to a senior Israeli official who spoke to Kan, the Israeli and American militaries have now prepared for another operation in Iran for the third time in roughly six months. This time, however, the preparations have not reached the stage of approving a strike plan.
The official did not rule out a strike after the US midterm elections on November 3 and before the end of the year. "It mainly depends on the Americans. It's clear to us that in any scenario, we strike together," the official said. (Read More)
By Dr. Bill Salus – Article taken from the book entitled,
The LAST PROPHECIES
Living inside of the seven-year tribulation timespan will be “THE TERMINAL GENERATION.” According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary the word terminal is defined as; “extremely or hopelessly severe, occurring at or constituting the end of a period.” For this generation conditions existing on the earth will indeed be extremely and hopelessly severe.
Hopeless is the appurtenant word because during this concluding period mankind will have no ability to redirect the course of its history. Predetermined proceedings that culminate in the end of this present earth will happen exactly as prophesied. Although hope in eternal salvation through Jesus Christ will still exist, there will be no hope that the world will survive the coming judgments, get a temporary extension date, or receive a stay of execution.
The good news between now and the dreaded end is that the Bible informs us that many people will be saved by receiving Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. However, unprecedented Christian persecution and martyrdom awaits those who receive Christ during the Tribulation-period (Trib-period).
The Biblical Basis for the Existence of THE TERMINAL GENERATION
Prophesying about this terminal time-period, Jesus said,
“For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be. And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect's sake those days will be shortened.” (Matthew 24:21-22)
The Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB) translates these same verses to say,
“For at that time there will be great tribulation, the kind that hasn't taken place from the beginning of the world until now and never will again! Unless those days were limited, no one would survive. But those days will be limited because of the elect.”
Christ's reference to “Great Tribulation” pertains to what happens within the last three and one-half years of the Trib-period. In this verse Jesus foretells that global events will get so chaotic and catastrophic in the end that, given ample time, all human and animal flesh would be terminated. As such, those days will be limited to the final three and one-half years of Great Tribulation.
How to Escape the Terminal Generation
It's important to acknowledge that at present, there is a way to escape the Terminal Generation. The wrath of God gets poured out in the Trib-period, but believers are not going to experience this wrath and are removed from the earth prior via the Rapture. Church Age believers:
Are not appointed to the wrath of God poured out in the Trib-period. (1 Thess. 5:9-10),
Are saved from the wrath of God during the Trib-period. (Romans 5:9),
Will be delivered from the wrath of God by Jesus in the Rapture. (1 Thess. 1:10),
Are kept from that, “hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth.” (Rev. 3:10),
Have a way of escaping the terrible things that will happen in the Trib-period. (Luke 21:36),
Are to comfort one another with all these facts above. (1 Thess. 4:18).
These verses below explain how we are saved, delivered and kept from wrath and why we are comforted to know this.
We become citizens of heaven and get new heavenly homes.
“Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me (Jesus Christ). In My (Heavenly) Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you; (if you are a believer insert your name here). And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there youmay be also. And where I go you know, and the way you know.” Thomas said to Him, “Lord, we do not know where You are going, and how can we know the way?” Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”” (John 14:1-6; emphasis added)
Jesus uses the pronoun your or you nine times in these verses in reference to His believers. This is a very personal promise to you from HIM;if you are a believer! These verses above explain why we are comforted and the verses below explain how we are saved, delivered and kept from the wrath of God during the Trib-period.
We leave the earth and will always be with the Lord throughout eternity
“For this we say to you by the word of the Lord (Jesus Christ), that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep (those who die as true Christian believers before the Rapture). For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore comfort one another with these words.” (1 Thess. 4:15-18; emphasis added)
We receive new immortal bodies
“Behold, I tell you a mystery: We (true Christian believers) shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed (receive new immortal bodies)— in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.” (1 Corinthians 15:50-53; emphasis added)
We have a way of escape and are enabled to stand before Jesus Christ
“Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.” (Luke 21:36)
Observe the following from this verse:
Believers are to be watchful for the coming of the Lord in the Rapture because we don't know the precise time that He will come for us,
We are to be in constant prayer,
We must be counted worthy to escape. Worthiness results from becoming a true believer in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. We don't earn this worthiness, because Christ paid the full pardon price for our sins on the Cross. Ephesians 2:8-9 clarifies this by saying, “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.”
We escape, rather than endure, all the bad things that occur in the Trib-period,
We get to stand before Jesus Christ.
If you are reading this article and the Rapture has not yet happened, then you can receive Christ as your personal Lord and Savior. In so doing, you not only eliminate any possibility of being part of the TERMINAL GENERATION, but you receive abundant life now, as per John 10:10, and eternal life in the hereafter according to John 10:28.
If you are ready to make that decision now, or at any time throughout the reading of this article you want to accept Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior, then read this article entitled, “The Sinner's Salvation Prayer.”
St.-Sgt. Ron Yonatan Roytman, 23, from Ashkelon, and Sgt. Yuval Shai Svilem, 20, from Hod Hasharon, were killed in the attack, while three others were lightly wounded. Two terrorists were killed during the confrontation, and the IDF said no additional terrorists were involved. (Read More)
A final Maariv poll shows the opposition widening its lead, with Eisenkot ahead of Netanyahu and 60% of Israelis favoring a unity government.
The gap between Israel's coalition and opposition blocs has widened to six seats ahead of Tuesday's Knesset election, despite the two largest parties being separated by just two seats, according to a Maariv poll by Lazar Research published Friday.
The coalition bloc receives just 48 seats this week, following the failure of Ofer Winter's People of Israel party to cross the electoral threshold. The party receives 3% of the vote, below the required 3.25%. Meanwhile, the opposition's change bloc has strengthened to 54 seats. Recent polling averages have shown the two political blocs nearly tied, highlighting the fluctuations in the election race.
The poll also shows that United Torah Judaism and Otzma Yehudit each lost one seat, polling 7 mandates, while Likud (19), Shas (8), and the Religious Zionist Party (7) each gained one. Overall, the coalition bloc has weakened by three seats compared with the previous week's poll. (Read More)

we face: the end of the world as we know it?

Two years later, StudyFinds posted an article on May 3,
2024, pointing out the following:
Apocalypse goes mainstream: The end of the world is
becoming normal conversation
"The exponential growth of artificial intelligence
over the past year has sparked discussions about whether the era of human
domination of our planet is drawing to a close. The most dire predictions claim
that the machines will take over within five to 10 years. Fears of AI are not
the only things driving public concern about the end of the world. Climate
change and pandemic diseases are also well-known threats."
On October 18, 2026, the mainstream news organization The
Guardian admitted in an article that the many challenges facing humanity at
this time certainly feel unprecedented:
"These days, it's easy to succumb to hopelessness.
Whether you're thinking about the climate crisis, the prospect of AI
apocalypse, war or political turmoil, the list of challenges facing humanity
can seem insurmountable. It certainly feels unprecedented, and much of it may
be."
Why are apocalyptic expectations among Christians, Jews,
and many secular people around the world on the rise, especially since
2020?Could it be because the
unprecedented events taking place around the world are exactly what we would
expect if we were indeed living in the end times?
Seven Signs Are Converging... And the World Isn't Paying Attention
PM says the IDF will apply its “aggressive” refugee-camp model in Hebron, evacuating residents and conducting house-to-house searches.
The IDF will apply a more aggressive counterterrorism model in Hebron and is prepared for a much broader operation across Judea and Samaria, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said during a visit to the area on Friday following a terrorist shooting that killed two IDF soldiers and wounded three others.
“We are going to implement the successful and aggressive model that we used in the refugee camps, which are essentially terrorist strongholds,” Netanyahu said.
“That is exactly what we will do here, inside a neighborhood in Hebron from which the terrorists came,” he continued. “We will evacuate the residents, we will go house to house, remove the weapons there, and all terrorist infrastructure will be dealt with and destroyed.”
Netanyahu said Israel would consider expanding the model to other cities in Judea and Samaria and would accelerate the demolition of illegal structures along roads that pose a threat to Israeli forces.
The prime minister said the IDF was also prepared for a large-scale operation throughout Judea and Samaria.
“The defense minister and I have seen plans for a very extensive IDF operation in Judea and Samaria, the likes of which have not been carried out since the Six-Day War,” Netanyahu said. “The IDF is ready to carry it out, and we will determine the timing, but it is on the way.”
Netanyahu said Israel had warned several weeks ago of attempts by its enemies to attack Israeli civilians and soldiers ahead of the Oct. 27 election.
“That is what they tried to do here,” he said. “IDF soldiers stopped it with their bodies and were also wounded. The soldiers not only stopped the terrorists, but charged them heroically and eliminated them.”
Five Israeli soldiers were shot in Friday morning’s terrorist attack near the Yehuda Junction in the Hebron area. Staff Sgt. Ron Yonatan Roytman, 23, of Ashkelon, and Sgt. Yuval Shai Svilem, 20, of Hod Hasharon, were killed, while three other soldiers were wounded. Two Palestinian terrorists were killed by IDF troops after a prolonged firefight. (Read More)
Imagine waking up tomorrow morning to discover that your bank's website is inaccessible. Your credit card no longer works. Gas stations cannot process payments. Grocery stores are accepting cash only, while others have closed entirely because their computerized systems are down.
Now imagine that the problem isn't limited to your community or even your country. Major financial institutions around the world are experiencing similar disruptions, and nobody knows how long they will last.
For most Americans, such a scenario sounds like something out of a Hollywood disaster movie. But for the cybersecurity professionals who spend their days defending the digital infrastructure upon which modern civilization depends, the threat is becoming increasingly difficult to ignore.
And the latest wave of cyberattacks raises an unsettling question: Could the growing vulnerability of our digital world eventually create the conditions for a global financial system in which buying and selling are tightly controlled?
For students of Bible prophecy, that question should sound remarkably familiar. (Read More)
Amid fears of renewed fighting with Iran, Hezbollah's political opponents warn that the terrorist group could destabilize Lebanon through assassinations and security incidents.
Concerns are growing in Lebanon over the possibility of internal security unrest, particularly amid fears of renewed hostilities between Israel and the United States on one side and Iran on the other.
Kan 11 News reported that political factions opposed to Hezbollah fear the terrorist organization could exploit rising regional tensions to undermine the Lebanese government, potentially through assassinations and security incidents that could destabilize the country.
According to the report, officials in Beirut are preparing for the possibility that Hezbollah could join another military confrontation if fighting resumes between Israel and the United States and Iran, similar to its involvement during Operation Roaring Lion.
A source from the anti-Hezbollah political camp said recent statements by senior Hezbollah officials have raised particular concern.
According to the source, public threats made by Hezbollah members against the Lebanese government in recent days, along with warnings of potential action against it, may indicate that the organization is preparing a significant move on Lebanon's domestic front. (Read More)
As part of the military’s heightened alert, Zamir ordered a freeze on leave across IDF units effective Thursday, “subject to ongoing situational assessments.”
The IDF ordered a series of heightened readiness measures in recent days ahead of Israel’s 26th Knesset election on Oct. 27, after Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir held a multi-front situational assessment on the military’s preparations for the election period.
During the meeting earlier this week, Zamir was joined by the heads of the Operations and Intelligence directorates and the commanders of the Northern, Central, Southern and Home Front commands, according to an IDF statement.
“The Chief of the General Staff emphasized that the IDF’s mission is to enable the democratic elections to take place safely and as scheduled,” the statement said, adding that Zamir stressed that the military “remains on the highest state of alert and will maintain a high level of vigilance and readiness across all fronts.” (Read More)
At the European Union level, one of Israel’s largest trading partners, pressure has also mounted, with proposals to suspend the EU-Israel Association Agreement.
Mounting sanctions and trade restrictions are intensifying pressure on Israel worldwide, with European governments playing an increasingly prominent role in efforts to boycott and isolate the Jewish state, raising concerns among experts about the long-term consequences for the country’s economy and international trade ties.
According to newly published data by the Jewish People Policy Institute (JPPI), an Israeli research organization focused on Jewish affairs and policy, 139 sanctions, restrictions, and diplomatic measures have been documented across 64 countries and entities, including 17 targeting academia, with 94 non-academic measures currently in force.
With more countries moving to impose punitive measures against Israel, analysts are warning that the growing international backlash could have far-reaching economic consequences, jeopardizing the country’s global trade ties, foreign investment, and long-term economic stability. (Read More)
The confirmation follows an Axios report revealing a US intelligence warning that Iran has significantly escalated efforts to target American personnel in the Middle East and beyond.
A US official confirmed to The Jerusalem Post on Friday that US Secretary of State and National Security Adviser Marco Rubio received an intelligence memorandum warning that Iran has significantly increased its efforts to target American officials and citizens, with plots to carry out lethal attacks reaching advanced stages.
The confirmation follows a report by Axios, which obtained the October 23 memorandum sent to Rubio by Director of National Intelligence Jay Clayton, with a copy to CIA Director John Ratcliffe.
According to the document, US intelligence agencies have received information through multiple channels indicating that Iran has substantially intensified its efforts to target American personnel. (Read More)
Jokar also called for Iran to immediately suspend its cooperation and obligations under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty if the US carries out another strike.
A senior Iranian lawmaker called on the Islamic Republic’s leadership Thursday to authorize the use of nuclear weapons for deterrence if the United States attacks Iran again and to suspend Tehran’s commitments under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.
Mohammad-Saleh Jokar, head of the Iranian parliament’s Internal Affairs Committee, said nuclear weapons should be permitted for national defense in the event of another U.S. attack.
“I ask the Islamic Republic’s authorities, in defense of the country and for the purpose of deterrence, to permit the use of deterrent weapons, including nuclear weapons, in the event of a US attack on Iran,” Jokar said on Thursday. (Read More)
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu has warned that Mojtaba
Khamenei ordered Iran to advance work on the weaponization systems needed for a
nuclear bomb, as Tehran moves to protect its nuclear infrastructure
underground.
In an interview, Netanyahu described the directive as
a significant development in Iran’s pursuit of nuclear weapons.
According to the intelligence information cited in the
report, Iran holds approximately 450 kilograms of enriched uranium. The Islamic
Revolutionary Guard Corps is also working to relocate nuclear facilities and
centrifuges to underground sites at four locations to shield them from
attack.
Netanyahu said the enriched uranium remains buried
underground, consistent with previous statements by President Donald
Trump.
The prime minister identified the overthrow of the
Iranian regime as a strategic objective and emphasized Israel’s continuing
coordination with Washington.
According to the report, the decision on a potential strike
against Iran’s nuclear facilities and its timing rests with Trump and his team
within that coordination.
Meanwhile, the United States is reinforcing its
military presence in the Middle East with aerial refueling aircraft and a
carrier strike group.
Israeli and American assessments indicate that Iran’s
worsening economic crisis could push the Revolutionary Guards to accelerate the
nuclear program. (Read More)

Senior Researcher Brad Myers Comments,
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned that Mojtaba
Khamenei ordered Iran to advance work on the weaponization systems needed for a
nuclear bomb, and he identified the overthrow of the Iranian regime as a
strategic objective.
You are probably aware that there are a lot of well-known
prophecy teachers who do not believe the current Islamic regime will be
overthrown. They argue that if it were, it would be replaced by a potentially
more dangerous jihadist Iranian government that would pursue a nuclear weapons
program with the goal of using it against Israel. It is interesting that these
same prophecy teachers reject the possibility that the war in Jeremiah 49:35–38
could be a future war prophecy.
Do we seriously believe that the Lord and Netanyahu are
going to sit back and allow this current Islamic regime (or some future
jihadist Iranian government run by the Supreme Leader and the IRGC) to advance
work on the weaponization systems needed for a nuclear bomb that could destroy
the small nation of Israel with a single nuclear-tipped missile?
Iran will strike oil facilities, undersea cables, datacentres and AI facilities across as many as seven countries in the Gulf in the event of a fresh US-Israeli attack, Mohsen Rezaei, the secretary of Iran’s supreme national security council, has said.
Mehdi Mohammadi, an adviser to Mohammad Ghalibaf, the hardliner who led Iran’s negotiations with the US to end the conflict between the two countries, said Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu had agreed in principle on an attack, but could not guarantee a successful outcome. He added: “We see the next conflict as an existential threat. The third war in two years means a threat to existence. Our strategy is ‘zero red lines’.”
Mohammadi said: “We break the temporal and spatial dimensions of the conflict. The war will continue longer and in a wider geographical area than the enemy anticipates.” (Read More)
Nikita Kapoor hosts the video series Decoded, published on
The Daily Jagran YouTube channel. On October 22, 2026, The Daily Jagran posted
the video titled "Thousands Of Troops On The Move! Trump's Kurdish Army To
Invade Iran As US-Israel Plan Bomb Rain?" In this video, which you can watch below, Nikita Kapoor
stated, "The next Iran war may not be won by airstrikes alone. It will be
won on the ground."
Could this have anything to do with the end-times prophecy
in Jeremiah 49:37, which says:
"I myself will go with Elam’s enemies to shatter
it. In my fierce anger, I will bring great disaster upon the people of Elam,'
says the LORD. 'Their enemies will chase them with the sword until I have
destroyed them completely."? (NLT)
Is it possible that a future ground war could break out in
Iran, led by enemies of the Islamic regime, including Kurdish forces and
millions of Iranian citizens, and lead to the overthrow of the regime?
Here are some interesting quotes from Kapoor taken from the
video, in which she lays out a potential future ground war involving the Kurds
that could threaten the survival of the Iranian regime:
"While the world is looking at the skies at the Israeli
fighter jets flying 800 miles towards Iran, the real war is being prepared on
the ground in the mountains of Kurdistan. Iran's most elite forces, the IRGC,
is moving heavy weapons, artillery, drones, special forces, hundreds of them.
And their destination is not the Israeli border. It is their own border, their
own provinces. Sanandaj, Marivan, Kamyaran,Baneh, all of this inside Iran. So
why is Iran deploying for a war inside Iran at a time when US and Israel have
made it pretty clear that the war may restart post Israeli elections and US
midterms because Iran knows something many have missed. The NEXT IRAN WAR may
not be won by airstrikes alone. IT WILL BE WON ON THE GROUND and for that
Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu have only one army that can walk into Iran
tomorrow."
..."This is Iran's nightmare scenario, viewers. A war
with Israel and America in the air and a Kurdish uprising on the ground. So,
let's put it all together for you. You have Israeli jets practicing an 800 mile
strike on Iran.You have a leaked plan that shows that Benjamin Netanyahu wants
to hit Iranian power plants and topple the Iranian regime. And Donald Trump is
the one holding the brakes till November 3rd. And then you have Iran promising
all out war without any restraint. And now you have the IRGC rushing heavy
weapons to Kurdistan, setting up ambushes in the Shaho region in the mountains
of Kurdistan, shelling border areas. This is not a coincidence at all. This is
a full spectrum preparation for a bigger war, one we have not seen before. Air
war being rehearsed by Israel and America together, ground war being prepared
by America through its Kurdish allies in Iran and counterinsurgency operations
being launched preemptively by Iran itself. The question is no longer if there
will be a second war. The question is what will it actually look like? Will it
be just the air strikes like earlier or will it be airstrikes PLUS a Kurdish
GROUND OFFENSIVE that could actually threaten the survival of the Islamic
regime of Iran? "
