What it Means for End Times Prophecy
In the overnight hours of April 13-14, Iran launched a major air attack against the nation of Israel, firing up to 300 unmanned drones in addition to several cruse missiles and some say about 100 ballistic missiles. The world waited on edge for hours while the slow-flying drones approached Israel through Iraqi, Jordanian, and Syrian air space. As they flew over these Middle Eastern nations, the US, Jordan, and Israel all countered Iran’s barrage using high-tech interceptors, which consisted of a combination of different air defense missile systems. Iran’s attack against Israel was seen through the dark of night as anti-missile launches went up into the sky showing streaks of light followed by explosions as the systems successfully destroyed the Iranian drones and missiles. At the same time of Iran’s attack against Israel, the Iran-supported Houthis and Hezbollah groups also launched missiles against the Jewish nation.
By the daylight of dawn on April 14, it was found that over 99% of the drones and missiles sent from Iran and their proxies were successfully intercepted and shot down. Of the several bombs that did get through, only one caused minor damage to a military base, but unfortunately, shrapnel from the explosion critically injured a 7-year-old girl.
Iran’s attack against Israel is only the latest in a series of military attacks Iran has done through its proxies in Syria, Lebanon, and Yemen. This time, however, the attack came directly from Iran, which will no doubt cause a direct response from Israel against Iran. The escalation of battles between Israel and Iran shows no sign of decreasing, and it may even spiral into full-scale war which could involve several other Middle East nations as well.
Iran’s attack against Israel is no surprise to those familiar with End Times prophecy. The Bible predicts that World War III will begin in the Middle East through the attack of Syria and Egypt against Israel. After Israel defeats these countries through the aid of the Final World Empire (headed by the Antichrist), the prophets Daniel and Ezekiel predict that Russia and its allies will attack from the north (see The Time of the End and The Attack of Russia). One of the primary allies of Russia in this war is predicted to be Persia, or modern-day Iran (Ezekiel 38:1-6). It is for this reason that Russia and Iran have recently become military allies. All of these things are occurring in anticipation of the fulfillment of bible prophecy in the Last Days.
