The Surprise Package

I'm sure most of you have heard of the Sanhedrin, a body of 70 religious judicial leaders in Israel which served as the highest ranking judicial body in Israel since the days of Moses. In a number of places in the New Testament, we read about how the Sanhedrin viciously waged war against not only Christ Himself during His ministry, but against His disciples as they went out to boldly proclaim the gospel against their orders after He ascended back to heaven.

The Sanhedrin went out of existence about 1,600 years ago, but what many believers today aren't aware of is that this religious legislative body has been relaunched in modern times. A newly formed version of the Sanhedrin is alive and well in Israel today, and what motivated me to write this article is the fact that this newly formed Sanhedrin just recently passed a ruling that has clear prophetic implications for what Israel will experience in the lead-up to and during the coming Tribulation.

Anticipation

If you're the kind of person who is inclined to visit websites like this, then I probably don't need to tell you that over the last few years there has been a tremendous increase in speculation about the Rapture and its timing. To say it has reached fever pitch is almost an understatement, and the time frames being put forth by various watchmen who are being obedient to the Holy Spirit and study such things are getting increasingly compressed.

You may also be aware that such watchmen get no small amount of flack from those in what could politely be referred to as mainstream Christianity, from those in denominations both inside and outside the Evangelical fold. At the first whiff of speculation concerning the timing of the Rapture (assuming they even acknowledge the existence of this event), they will wag their bony fingers in the offender's face and quote the scriptural mantra:

"No man knoweth the day or the hour...so put a sock in it!"

9/8/2026 — From the "Oomph" Department...

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke on Sunday in regard to the conflict with Iran, and sounded very much as if he were determined to finally bring the war to an end:

"The end of the Iranian regime is near...(and its fall will) change the fate of the Middle East and the Jewish people."

Speaking at an event preceding Rosh Hashanah, Netanyahu emphasized that Israel had never been stronger and that its enemies had never been weaker. Netanyahu added:

"We are determined to defend ourselves; we are determined to strike our enemies...(and if our enemies) make a mistake, (they will) suffer a blow they don't even imagine. Don't mess with us. We know how to unite in times of difficulty, and (Israel is) currently the most powerful power in the Middle East."

He also emphasized Israel's comradeship with the United States in the fight against the Islamic terrorist regime that is Iran:

"Together with the United States, we accomplished tremendous achievements in removing an existential threat from above us. We have removed atomic bombs and ballistic missiles from above us and have hit the Iranian axis with great force."

Sounds good, but in reality much remains to be seen. Trump and Netanyahu have not always exactly been on the same page in this conflict, and Trump has been accused of handcuffing Netanyahu's efforts to inflict more severe damage to the Iranian regime and their facilities.

In spite of their not always being in lockstep, however, at least oil continues to flow through the Strait of Hormuz (although at about two-thirds pre-war levels). Of course, that's one key aspect of this conflict that is crucial to the global economy and the one most nations have their eyes on.

One thing that will certainly affect the tone of the rhetoric coming from both the U.S. and Israel in the coming months is the fact that both have important upcoming elections. Israel has a legislative election coming up on October 27, and the U.S. has the critical midterm elections coming up on November 3.

And polls suggest that neither Netanyahu's Likud nor Trump's Republicans have smooth sailing ahead in the runup to those elections.

That's one reason some are surmising that Netanyahu's remarks have a bit of political oomph behind them.

And knowing Donald "I'll blow the s--- out of 'em" Trump, I have no doubt we can expect more political oomph from him as well in the coming days.
