Israel Report - Wednesday 25 June 2025
Therefore saith the Lord, the Lord of hosts, the mighty One of Israel, Ah, I will ease me of mine adversaries, and avenge me of mine enemies:
And I will turn my hand upon thee, and purely purge away thy dross, and take away all thy tin:
And I will restore thy judges as at the first, and thy counsellors as at the beginning: afterward thou shalt be called, The city of righteousness, the faithful city.
Zion shall be redeemed with judgment, and her converts with righteousness.
And the destruction of the transgressors and of the sinners shall be together, and they that forsake the Lord shall be consumed. [Isaiah 1:24-28]

Strike Set Back Iran’s Nuclear Program by Only a Few Months, U.S. Report….
Preliminary classified findings indicate that the attack sealed off the entrances to two facilities but did not collapse their underground buildings.
A preliminary classified U.S. report says the American bombing of three nuclear sites in Iran set back the country’s nuclear program by only a few months, according to officials familiar with the findings.
The strikes sealed off the entrances to two of the facilities but did not collapse their underground buildings, the officials said the early findings concluded.
Before the attack, U.S. intelligence agencies had said that if Iran tried to rush to making a weapon, it would take about three months.
After the U.S. bombing run and days of attacks by the Israeli Air Force, the report by the Defence Intelligence Agency estimated that the program had been delayed, but by less than six months.
The report also said that much of Iran’s stockpile of enriched uranium was moved before the strikes, which destroyed little of the nuclear material. Iran may have moved some of that to secret locations.
Some Israeli officials said they also believed that the Iranian government had maintained small covert enrichment facilities so it could continue its nuclear program in the event of an attack on the larger facilities.
Other officials noted that the report found that the three nuclear sites — Fordo, Natanz and Isfahan — had suffered moderate to severe damage, with the facility at Natanz damaged the most. It is not clear whether the Iranians will try to rebuild the programs.
The head of Iran's Atomic Energy Organization, Mohammad Eslami, [above] recently announced on Iranian state television that Iran has begun building a new uranium enrichment facility, in a secure and secret location. He said the facility is expected to begin operating in the near future.
Peace or Prophetic Prelude?
In a thunderous announcement that reverberated across the geopolitical landscape, President Donald Trump declared that he had brokered a ceasefire between Israel and Iran--effectively ending what he dubbed the “Twelve Day War”.
For many supporters of Israel, this may sound like the long-awaited breath of peace after weeks of anxiety and conflict. But scratch beneath the surface, and a far more sobering question arises: Has a war ended--or has a prophetic fulfillment begun?
Trump, never one for understatement, posted on Truth Social:
"On the assumption that everything works as it should, which it will, I would like to congratulate both Countries, Israel and Iran, on having the Stamina, Courage, and Intelligence to end, what should be called, 'THE 12 DAY WAR.'"
But it's what he said next that reveals the deeper truth. Trump openly thanked Iran for giving advance notice to the U.S. before its retaliatory missile strike on Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar.
This warning allowed U.S. troops to evacuate safely and resulted in no casualties. That's not an act of vengeance. That's a white flag disguised in smoke and theatrics.
This wasn't a glorious stand by the Islamic Republic. It was theatre--performed for domestic consumption and meant to hide an undeniable fact: Iran blinked.
Their retaliation was carefully choreographed, not to destroy but to appear strong. Why? Because their real fear wasn't Israel. It was regime collapse.
Iran knows that its aging military, fragile economy, and fractured society can't endure a prolonged conflict--especially not with the U.S. and Israel united in strategic coordination.
This is not the behaviour of a nation seeking revenge. This is the behavior of a regime desperate to surrender without looking like it surrendered. The warning to the U.S. wasn't a diplomatic courtesy. It was a survival tactic.
So has Israel won? Yes and no.
Yes, if the objective was to decapitate Iran's ability to threaten the region with nuclear weapons or long-range strikes. Yes, if the goal was to eliminate key military assets and send a sobering message to Tehran's proxies. But no--if you think this is the end.
Tyrannies don't disappear when they lose. They retreat, reload, and reach for help. And that brings us to the heart of the matter: this moment of quiet may be nothing more than a strategic pause before prophetic acceleration.
The Countdown to Ezekiel 38?
Ezekiel 38 describes a time when Israel will dwell in "unwalled villages", a phrase often interpreted by biblical scholars to mean a time of security, peace, and confidence. It is precisely then that an unexpected invasion comes from the north--a coalition of hostile nations led by Gog (Russia), Persia (modern Iran), and allies like Gomer (Turkey).
Could that be where we're heading?
Iran is no longer capable of mounting a solo military threat. Its nuclear dream is in ruins. For now,
Hezbollah--once a fierce regional power--has suffered immense damage in recent months. It is a shadow of its former self.
Hamas, too, is likely to face decisive action next. Its tunnels, weapons, and leadership are being systematically targeted.
The Abraham Accords, once stalled, now look primed to expand rapidly. With Iran on the ropes, Arab nations see Israel not as an enemy--but as a strategic partner.
Saudi Arabia [Sheba and Dedan] is quietly warming toward normalization. Jordan and Egypt remain committed to their peace treaties with Israel.
And America--at least under Trump's regime--is still acting as a protector, not a restrainer.
This constellation of events is not random. It is prophetic in tone and strategic in timing.
Could we be entering a period where Israel truly dwells in safety, surrounded by peace deals and strong military dominance? If so, then Ezekiel's prophecy is more than a distant echo--it may be ticking like a countdown clock.
Because once Israel is at peace--truly at peace--the next move is not theirs. It belongs to the enemies gathering in secret.
Iran may be down--but it is not alone. The Bible tells us plainly: they will return--but not without help. Russia, already emboldened in the war they are winning in Ukraine, is testing the West's resolve.
Turkey, with its Neo-Ottoman ambitions, continues to flirt with both NATO and radical Islamism. And China--though not a partner of the Ezekiel 38 coalition--stands ready to shape the world order in favour of tyrants.
Iran will not rise alone. But it will rise again--with allies, in a confederation unlike anything the modern Middle East has ever seen. It is all in place today.
Trump's ceasefire may have ended a war. But it may also have triggered something far more significant. The 12-Day War wasn't just about missiles and headlines--it may have been the last necessary blow to neutralize Iran enough to fulfill Ezekiel 38's conditions.
Reliable predictive cyclical patterns are now showing a short lull, and then a lift in war cycles in July and August this year and continuing into 2026.
If that's true, we must be spiritually alert, politically discerning, and prophetically grounded. A time of peace may indeed be coming for Israel--but it will not last forever.
The next war may not be won by iron domes or diplomacy--but by divine intervention.
Sad News out of Gaza…
As the media focuses its gaze on Iran, the battle in Gaza rages.
In a terrible incident in Khan Yunis, Gaza, 7 IDF soldiers were killed yesterday as an IED exploded and caused their armoured vehicle to burn. The officer and his six soldiers were trapped inside.
The incident occurred at approximately 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, when a report came in of a blast that struck a "Puma" personnel carrier (APC) carrying soldiers from the 605th Battalion of the Combat Engineering Corps.
At Least 25 Christians Murdered in Syrian ISIS Attack……..
Many Christians today need to awake and see that the church is seen by Islamic terrorists and deranged anti-Christian Islamic sympathizers , along with the Jews, to be members of the “People of the Book”…that book happens to be the Bible - - the only book that hangs its entire credibility on its ability to write history in advance and without error.
We share in the same venomous hatred shown to the Jews and Israel.
Many churches today think they are shielded and safe because of their anti-Israel bias, Replacement Theology, and antisemitism..and that is a very dangerous delusion.
Christians were attacked in their places of worship last Sunday in two assaults thousands of miles apart in Michigan USA and in Damascus, Syria
This past weekend an ISIS suicide bomber in Syria shot his way inside the Greek Orthodox Mar Elias Church, before detonating himself, killing at least 25 and injuring an estimated 63 others.
On Sunday morning in Wayne, Michigan, a 31-year-old white male dressed in tactical gear and carrying a “long gun and handgun” [above] attempted to enter CrossPointe Community Church during services, but was thwarted by parishioners, one of whom struck the gunman with his vehicle amid gunfire.
Eventually, two church staff members fatally shot the individual. One staff member was shot in the leg during the incident.
Experts say the attacks are reminders that Christian churches continue to be prime targets for terrorism both domestically and across the globe, and that churches should take appropriate security measures to protect themselves.
