he Hamas attack on October 7, 2023, was codenamed the Al-Aqsa Flood for the Al-Aqsa Mosque on the Temple Mount. The attack on October 7 on the State of Israel was the most diabolical in Israel’s history. Nothing the Jewish people have ever experienced has compared to it except the Holocaust, and that was the intent. It was a preemptive attack by a country with an ancient name, Persia, that we know as Iran. The 3,000-plus terrorists were predominantly trained in Iran for the attack. They were funded by Iran. They were promised $10,000 for killing Jews and a new house if they brought back Jewish hostages. They recorded the events on video so they could collect their money and torment the Jewish people with the videos.
The demonic Prince of Persia is described in Daniel 10 in which the prophet said he spent three weeks fasting and praying until a heavenly messenger, an angel, appeared to him and said, “But the prince of the Persian kingdom resisted me twenty-one days. Then Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, because I was detained there with the king of Persia.” (Daniel 10:13). “Soon I will return to fight against the prince of Persia, and when I go, the prince of Greece will come; but first I will tell you what is written in the Book of Truth. No one supports me against them except Michael, your prince” (Daniel 10:20-21).
Israel is in a battle against a demonic power which is led by a fallen angel whose name was Lucifer, described in Isaiah 14:12-15: “How you have fallen from heaven, morning star, son of the dawn! You have been cast down to the earth, you who once laid low the nations! You said in your heart, ‘I will ascend to the heavens; I will raise my throne above the stars of God; I will sit enthroned on the mount of assembly, on the utmost heights of Mount Zaphon. I will ascend above the tops of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.’” But you are brought down to the realm of the dead, to the depths of the pit.
Israel experienced a preemptive attack upon its nation which was the worst massacre in its history by Iranian proxy Hamas, funded by Iranian arms, and funded by Iran. It opened Pandora’s box, forcing Israel to fight a war for its survival, knowing that without it, there would be many more attacks like it or worse. The new wars of the 21st century are proxy wars, but they are also media wars, ideological wars, and spiritual wars. Israel cannot win a media war. The U.N. club of Zionist haters has turned global public opinion against Israel with the assistance of the media.
Iran has been waging a war against Israel, which it calls the Little Satan, for decades. October 7 was Israel’s Pearl Harbor, in which Iran decided to move to a much greater extreme. For decades, Iran has also been waging a war against America, which it calls the Great Satan.
A 2021 State Department report observed that in that year alone, “Iran pursued or supported terrorist attacks against Israeli targets in 2021, including a thwarted January plot to attack an Israeli embassy in East Africa, a January bomb attack outside the Israeli embassy in New Delhi for which the Indian government said the IRGC-QF was responsible, and a disrupted attempt to attack an Israeli businessman in Cyprus.”
In every Israeli Air Force barracks, there is a picture they have to pass before leaving. The picture is of Israeli planes over Auschwitz and the railroad tracks with the words, “We the Israeli Air Force pilots fly in the skies over the camp of atrocities. But we’ve risen from the ashes of the millions of victims, and we carry their silent cry. We salute their courage and pledge to serve as the defenders of the Jewish people and the State of Israel.” Tomer Bar, the Brigadier General who hosted me, wrote on the copy of that picture he gave me, “The voice of the thunder was in the heaven. The earth trembled and shook,” from Psalm 77:18.
October 7 flushed the smoke of Auschwitz into the soul of the nation of Israel, creating trauma that Israel has never experienced and waking them up to a stark reality. A lot of Israelis were peaceniks. In the kibbutz Be’eri, where I was invited by the Foreign Minister of Israel Eli Cohen as he hosted the Foreign Minister of Ireland and other dignitaries, many Israelis were burned alive, beheaded, and raped.
Iran is a terrorist state driven by mullahs with an obsession to usher in the Mahdi, the twelfth descendant of Muhammad, through an apocalypse. They believe that the moment the apocalypse happens and he is resurrected, the entire world will bow down and become an Islamic caliphate. They have boldly stated their intentions of what they were doing to Israel. Iran’s supreme leader has called Israel a “cancerous tumor” that “will undoubtedly be uprooted and destroyed.” October 7 was proof that they meant what they said.
