The Narrative
![]()
Like many prophecy-minded folks, the recent attacks on Iran being carried out by the United States and Israel have got me thinking about the (likely soon-coming) attack of Gog-Magog that is described in Ezekiel 38–39. This current attack on Iran has also got me thinking about the particulars of how that ultimately unsuccessful existential attack on Israel that Ezekiel describes and other events and aspects of the end-time scenario fit together and influence each other—especially in terms of their relative timing—in the overall scenario.
A scenario that appears to be ready to get cranked up to the next level.

JUN '23: Disclosure
A couple of items pertaining to UFOs got my attention recently, and they got me thinking about how it all plays into the end-time scenario.
Disclosure
![]()
For a number of years, I have been the type of person who pays attention to news items about UFOs. As such, it has not escaped my notice that some type of UFO-related story typically appears in most mainstream media outlets at least once every month or two. Nothing major—someone reports seeing some kind of strange object in the sky, or a pilot reports spotting some unusual aerial activity of some kind, stuff like that. Just enough to keep images of those little green men (gray men?) percolating in the back of people's minds.
This past month, however, a couple of UFO-related news items came to my attention that took things to a new level. And not to sprain my elbow patting myself on the back or anything, but these are more or less the kind of stories I have been quietly anticipating for the last several years.

4/21/2026 — From the "Six Words" Department...
On Sunday, President Trump posted a message on social media that praised Israel, our strongest ally in the Middle East...if not the world. In that message, Trump extolled Israel with the highest praise:
"Whether people like Israel or not, they have proven to be a GREAT Ally of the United States of America. They are Courageous, Bold, Loyal, and Smart, and, unlike others that have shown their true colors in a moment of conflict and stress, Israel fights hard and knows how to WIN!"
High praise indeed, and it comes at a time when support for the Jewish nation is waning in the United States. And I don't just mean among Trump-hating, left-wing liberals for whom anti-Semitism is a TDS symptom that gives them one more way to demonstrate how much they hate Trump.
I mean among typically pro-Israel Evangelicals.
But there is something telling about the opening six-word phrase in Trump's message—it communicates some disconcerting subtleties that are easy to blow right by. And an article in the Jerusalem Post (which I highly recommend taking a few minutes to read) absolutely nails it.
The article astutely points out that Trump's first six words—"Whether people like Israel or not"—are effectively a caveat that indicates that there are indeed many people in America who do not like Israel—more than ever, and enough to acknowledge front and center. This, in spite of the fact that Israel has fought wingtip to wingtip with America like no other U.S. ally in the world, especially in the current conflict with Iran—a demonically driven nation that is arguably the single biggest threat to the entire world.
Many of our so-called "allies" said they had to wash their hair.
The article also points out a subtle shift in emphasis in regard to America's support of Israel. Read Trump's entire statement again. Is there any hint of our shared values and common ideals—our genuine desire for peace, our respect for the welfare of our citizens, and our mutual reverence for the God of the Bible? Not a jot or a tittle. In other words, rather than emphasizing what we have in common, it neatly encapsulates our relationship with Israel in terms of one single, solitary thing:
Israel's performance.
That is, as opposed to Israel simply being Israel...much less Israel being (gulp) God's Chosen People. As the article notes, that subtle shift seems to reveal that America is beginning to think of Israel as less of a "natural partner" and more of a "useful partner." It seems to put more emphasis on the useful things Israel can deliver, rather than the natural things we have in common. It stated:
"(Trump's caveat) underscores how far the discourse has shifted."
The bottom line is this:
You don't have to read a whole of the Bible or of history to understand that when God said to Abraham "I will bless those that bless you, and curse him that curses you," He meant exactly what He said.
Of course, good luck trying to tell that to all the anti-Semitic MAGA phonies out there like Tucker Carlson.
Oh, their six-word message? That's easy:
"I hate Israel—I hate Jews."
