Israel Attacks, America Bombs, and an Earthquake, all in Iran

When I asked the Lord about the activities in the Middle East in June of 2025, He said, “This is the birth pangs before the beginning of the Tribulation.” He spoke of this when talking to His disciples about the signs of the end of the age and His rule and reign:
“And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not alarmed, for this must take place, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are but the beginning of the birth pains. (Matthew 24:6-8 ESV)
There was fighting, rumors of war, and an earthquake that occurred within a matter of weeks, all involving the same countries. There is famine in Nigeria and surrounding nations. All of these are taking place at the same time. These are merely “birth pangs.”
In all honesty, these birth pangs have been happening off and on since Jesus left. Is there anything concerning the specifics of Iran-Israel interaction that may confirm that we are close to the actual beginning of Daniel’s Week?
The 12-Day War
On June 12, 2025, Israel launched missiles at Iran’s nuclear facilities, beginning what is now called the Twelve-Day War. We have 12 days and it began on the 12th. When there is a repetition of numbers, it may mean that God is speaking. What is the meaning of Twelve?
12: Government or governance
God’s nation, Israel, was divided into 12 tribes, which governed the country.
Christ called and chose 12 men to bear witness to what He did and to spread the good news of the gospel to the entire world.
Could this interaction be about the final governance of the Earth? There are two twelves: the AntiChrist will rule for a season, then Jesus will come and take control. That is two different people governing the world!
American Bombs
These two countries, which have been at war for thousands of years, came to peace through American intervention. Trump dropped 14 bombs and brokered peace between Israel and Iran. He has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize three times.... What do these things mean?
The Nobel Peace Prize is very interesting. Three is God’s number of perfection and completion in the spirit. Ukraine has withdrawn the nomination, and Pakistan is sympathising with Iran, so they too may withdraw their nomination. That would leave only the GOP nomination. It seems God’s perfect spiritual completion is the removal of peace… which is what happens with the seven-year agreement: it is hailed as peace, but never really fulfills that, as Christians will be attacked.
The last nomination for the Nobel was for the 14 bombs that were dropped:
14: Multiplied or generational physical completion and perfection for good or evil
Seven times two is fourteen. Seven is completion and perfection in the physical, while two is multiplication.
14 is multiplied or generational perfection and completion.
So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David until the carrying away into Babylon are fourteen generations; and from the carrying away into Babylon to Christ are fourteen generations. (Matthew 1:17 AKJV)
Jesus was the physical manifestation of completion and perfection for generations (14). Also, three is God’s number of spiritual completion and perfection: there were three generations of physical completion before Jesus was born, indicating spiritual perfection and completion. spiritually perfect and complete.
To understand how this applies, we need a bit of history concerning the ruling of this world. Satan became the spiritual ruler of this world when Adam and Eve both obeyed him. Jesus took that power away from Satan and became the spiritual ruler of this world when He was obedient to God, even to the point of death on the cross.
The AntiChrist will be the first physical ruler to dominate the whole world. It will begin with a seven-year peace treaty so that a temple can be built and sacrifices and offerings can be made. He will go to war twice, the first time with help, the second time he will be defeated as his allies desert him.
Sounds a little like what is happening with the Nobel Peace Prize? While the peace treaty is ongoing, an organization operating in “wisdom” will begin to dominate the world. The AntiChrist will take the place of three of its leaders.
Could the fact that America created peace with 14 bombs be a foreshadowing of the coming of the AntiChrist? Could it be announcing that the AntiChrist, who brings peace, that will eventually lead to a one world government, could be a Jewish American? Will the AntiChrist be seen as “noble” as he brings a semblance of peace?
The Earthquake
According to R. J. Manuel in an article on MSN on June 24, 2025, these are the facts: A 5.2 magnitude Iran earthquake struck near the city of Semnan on Friday at 9:19 PM, June 20, shaking a region already fraught with political and military tension. The tremor occurred around 35 to 37 kilometers southwest of Semnan at a depth of 10 kilometers, according to the US Geological Survey (USGS).
Semnan, like many Middle-Eastern cities, is predominantly muslim. This means they are waiting for their “savior” to come back to rule and reign. They believe the Mahdi, who will bring justice and establish a global Islamic kingdom before the End Times, ruling for 7-9 years. Hmmm… who is supposed to rule during the Tribulation and unite the world in a one-world government? The AntiChrist. The muslims will accept the AntiChrist as the Mahdi.
An earthquake represents a change coming upon the Earth due to the hearts of man. What do the numbers involved mean?
5: God’s grace
2: Multiplied
This is happening so that God’s grace can be multiplied upon the Earth. How is it multiplied? The fact that there was an earthquake in the middle of the fighting serves to highlight the situation so that God’s people will take notice and be prepared for what is coming. What does the time and date mean? The earthquake hit on the 20th.
20: Fulfillment of God's Plan
The time it takes for God's will to be completely fulfilled.
For 20 years, Jacob waited to get possession of his wives and property and to be freed from the control of Laban, his father-in-law. (Genesis 31:38-41)
Solomon spent seven years building the house of God in Jerusalem and another 13 years building his own home for a total of 20 years. After he had completed both buildings, Solomon gave Hiram, the king of Tyre, 20 cities in the land of Galilee. (1 Kings 9:10-11)
The time has come for the fulfillment of God’s plan, which will begin with the building of a Temple in Jerusalem. These are birth pangs, letting you know the time is close. Isn’t that why you are listening to this? Do you feel something is up? Like the time may be getting close?
Does 9:19 support this meaning? The numbers can be seen as 9,1,9 or 9 and 19. Let’s look at both.
9: Three meanings:
Divine completeness and finality
Christ died at the ninth hour of the day, or 3 p.m., to make the way of salvation open to everyone.
There are nine fruits of God's Holy Spirit: faithfulness, gentleness, goodness, joy, kindness, long-suffering, love, peace, and self-control. (Galatians 5:22-23)
Hosea, who was Israel's last king before the kingdom fell to the Assyrians in 723 BC, reigned for just nine years. (732 to 723 BC)
Great opposition
The first battle mentioned in God's word is between a confederation of four kings against another, which has five kings for a total of nine kings. (Genesis 14:1-2) It can mean overcoming a great opposition that will lead to victory.
Complete physical affliction
There are nine people recorded as having leprosy: Moses, Miriam, Naaman, Gehazi, King Azariah, and the four lepers of Samaria. (2 Kings 7)
One means either God or His enemy, Satan. One is in the middle of 9. It is time for Satan to fulfill the prophecy, which is God’s divine will. Satan will bring great opposition to God’s people with physical affliction.
We know what nine means; what does 19 add to this?
19: A remaining remnant of righteous people.
Joab pursued Abner, who had gathered Saul’s heir to oppose King David. After a long pursuit and bloodshed on both sides, Abner escaped over the Jordan in the middle of the night. There were only 19 men left in Joab’s command. (2 Samuel 2:30).
A righteous remnant will escape the coming conflict when the evil empire is established. This is referring to the rapture.
Every detail surrounding this conflict between Iran and Israel speaks to birth pangs. God is right at the door. If you have listened to this message because you were drawn to it, then you may be sensing the Lord approaching the door because the grace of God has revealed it to your heart. It is time for His Bride to get ready!
These signs do not say when the Tribulation will begin. No one knows the day or the hour, but all who are awake will know it is close!
Will this moment of peace lead to a seven-year peace treaty so that a Temple can be built?
Two perfect red heifers (female cows) are ready to be sacrificed, and it must happen by the end of the year so the ashes can be used to dedicate a Temple.
If they aren’t sacrificed, then it could be a while before the Temple is built.
The number 19 is involved with the earthquake
God’s perfect completion of his will is 9…
The red Heifers are mentioned in Numbers 19… NUMBERS… as in 9, 19
Some sources in the latest news say the sacrifice of the heifers was canceled in March because the cows had grown some white hairs, disqualifying them. New ones may have to be born and grow to the age of 3 years. Or has the ranch in Texas been breeding more, keeping them a secret? We don’t really know.
Don’t wait for a new Temple; begin drawing close to the Lord now. It is time for God’s people to remember His ways and come free of teachings and traditions that are not supported in the Word of God! It is time for the Bride to check and see if they have “oil” in their lamps: That is the Holy Spirit in your life. Are you hearing from Him? Being taught and guided by Him?
If you want the guidance of the Holy Spirit, perhaps walking with Him as your Teacher first will help. The Lord has prepared a place for you to learn: all classes, all materials, even tutoring, is free! The Holy Spirit is the true Teacher in these classes. He is the one who reveals God’s wisdom to you. I hope you will begin today!
