'For the Israelites will live many days without a King or Prince, without Sacrifice or Sacred Stones, without Ephod or Household Gods. Afterward the Israelites will return and seek the LORD their GOD and David their King. They will come trembling to the LORD and to His Blessings in the Last Days’. –Hosea 3:4-5

The purpose of this study is to provide a comparison of Israel’s alleged Nuclear Arsenal with that of other current estimated Nuclear Arsenals of other nations. Then a possible scenario of a mid-size nuclear detonation over the city of Damascus will be diagrammed to illustrate the scope of its effects. This scenario is prophetically based on the Book of Isaiah 17, which is yet to occur, in one’s interpretation. Some basic definitions of terms of key players will be given to establish some context for the study. Lastly a short Biblical study on the prophetic parallels of Judges 6 and Acts 9 will be given.

It will be shown that History will be repeating itself based on patterns from the Old Testament. This study will highlight the well-known military might of Israel and its speculative nuclear arsenal. It is believed that Israel has possessed nuclear weapons since the mid-1960s. As a result, the nuclear Middle-East arms race ensued. Although no official statistics exist, outside of Israel, it has been estimated that Israel possesses 100-400 types of nuclear weapons; most are said to be situated underground. Why Israel’s nuclear arsenal is important is because Israel is at the center of the prophetic clock count-down to Armageddon.

According to Biblical Prophecy, all the nations of the world will come against Israel at the Battle of Armageddon, with nuclear weapons. Israel will have no choice but to use them. Why there is some Ambiguity as to the exact count of the nuclear arsenal is that Israel is not subject to the international accounting by way of the Non-Proliferation Treaty. But therein, neither is Pakistan, India or North Korea for that matter. It was this lack of transparency though that led the USA to invade Iraq on a ‘hunch’ that the country was harboring ‘Weapons of Mass Destruction’ (WMDs), despite numerous UN Inspections that reported otherwise.

Or Saddam just hid them and transported the components to Damascus. On a Side Note, Iraq had nothing to do with the 9-11 Attacks on the USA and yet it was invaded. Nonetheless, Israel seeks to maintain this off-set of Balance of Power with the Muslims, as the neighboring enemy states of Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, and Iran who have sought to build its own Nuclear Programs. The Muslims do have in possession, now Nuclear Weapons, i.e. Pakistan. But ethnically, they are not Arabs but Hindi.

let us begin with what is publicly known about Israel’s ballistic missile programs. ‘Jericho’ is the name given to Israel’s ballistic missile systems. The code-name was taken from the Biblical city of Jericho. The Jericho III is estimated to have a range of 5000-7000 Miles (11,200 km). It gives Israel nuclear strike capabilities within the entire Middle East, Africa, Europe, Asia and almost all parts of North America, as well as parts of South America. A launch from a submarine off the coast of any land-mass would arrive in major world cities within 2-5 minutes of its launch.

This is a Long-Range Missile. It is speculated that it is an ICBM that has a 3-stage solid propellant. It is possible for the missile to be equipped with a single 750 kiloton nuclear warhead or multiple low-yield Multiple Independently Targeted Reentry Vehicle (MIRV) warheads.

Given the current volatile political and religious confrontations of the Middle East, one will ascertain that an inevitable nuclear confrontation between Israel and its Muslim Enemies is biblically pre-determined to occur. The Arab Countries that are geographically falling like Dominoes seems like a well-designed explosion that could well trigger this confrontation with Israel in the near future. For example, despite a regime change in Syria, it is aligned with the policy and aspirations of Iran in its stance against the State of Israel.

Iran is still a staunch supporter of Hezbollah, HAMAS in Gaza and the Houthis in Yemen. You have to also realize that since the Armistice of 1948, Israel and Muslim neighbors have technically been in a constant State of War with each other. They have no formal diplomatic relations. Consider the Isaiah 17 destruction of Damascus. A nuclear strike from an Israeli submarine off the coast of Lebanon for example, would arrive in Damascus within 2 minutes from launch. A Jericho Nuclear warhead from a silo in the Negev Desert would arrive in Damascus within 4 minutes.

A strike using F15 or F-35 Jets would not be the best option as Syria has advanced Russian anti-aircraft missiles. Damascus has a radius of 10 miles (16 km), which includes the ancient center and ‘Straight Street’ of the Bible. That is where the Apostle Paul stayed after his encounter with Jesus Christ on the road to Damascus, as recorded in the Book of Acts 9. This is how just a 200-kiloton warhead would do to Damascus. It would be estimated that around 1.7 Million people would be killed instantaneously from Ground Zero. Another 4.8 million lives would be directly affected within the 30-mile (48 km) metropolitan radius. The statistics below outline the ramifications of a mid-size nuclear detonation at .8 miles (1.2 km) above the city of Damascus.

In all probability, not if but when the middle east nuclear war begins, there is no likelihood that just 1 nuclear device would be detonated by the other side. No doubt there will be several warheads launched to ensure certain successful deliveries.

The table below depicts nearly all the top armies of the world ranked by Global Firepower.com. About half the nations listed with current arsenals are not party to the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), which requires UN Inspection and regular monitoring. Below is the Nuclear Proliferation demographic make-up of nations that have the technology of harnessing the atom for military purposes. All the major world religions are now also represented: Christianity, Atheism, Judaism, Hinduism and Islam.

In Syria, Hezbollah and the other Special-Ops or Muslim paramilitary groups fully control all the Chemical and Biological stockpiles in Damascus, as they have been in Libya and Egypt. Iran has funneled such weapons for decades despite Israeli strikes. Why this is volatile, is that given this eventually, they will be deployed against Israel. One’s Political Science projection of the outcome is that it is part of the ‘Hook’ in the coming Russia-Iran-Turkey alliance. Thus, there will be a need for Israel to deploy the Samson Option, eventually. This will lead to the humiliation of Russia and a set-up for the Gog-Magog War that is bent on the same quest to destroy or plunder Israel.

Or the Palestinian problem is what could be the trigger that might set the stage for a much larger Israeli-Muslim nuclear confrontation. Why the hate towards Israel? To the Muslim point of view, Israel is seen as ‘Zionists’ bent on expansionist policies that are based on a ‘Religious’ Biblical Mandate to take ‘their’ Muslim land and rule the world. The Muslims view the Jews as racists, dominating not only the region but the world through their international Banking Cartels and multinational corporations.

Muslims, however, refuse to see that they have done the same and seek to do the same. Israel’s self-defense tactics used to ensure its security and of its treatment of the Palestinians have caused many in the world to turn against them. Israel will eventually be left to its own demise. This is why one is convinced; Israel will have no choice but to rely on its nuclear deterrence for ensuring its survival. Thereafter, a ‘Peace and Security’ will be provided by the new emergent leader of the New World Order. The following section will breakdown the Entities that are prominent in the quest to foment Chaos out of Order against Israel and the entire Middle East.

The word literally means ‘The Base’. It is a global militant Islamist organization said to be founded by Osama bin Laden around 1987-88. It ascribes to a radical Sunni Doctrine that calls for ‘Global Jihad’ against Israel and the USA/West. It is ascribed to a strict interpretation of Sharia Law. It is widely believed that the attacks of September 11 in the USA were carried out by al-Qaeda. But due to increasing and mounting evidence, it is becoming more apparent that 9-11 was indeed an ‘Inside Job’ orchestrated by the CIA and MOSSAD mainly. It is a fact Reagan invited al-Qaeda ‘Freedom Fighters’ to the White House and the CIA and MOSSAD helped support and train al-Qaeda during the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. Note that when 9-11 occurred, not only were the Palestinians Dancing but so were some Jews that were later even interviewed on national Israeli TV.

This organization is the largest political opposition in many Arab countries. It was founded in Egypt in 1928. They combine political activism with Islamic charity work to gain popular support. Their agenda strives to have Islamic Governments eventually unite under one Islamic Caliphate. This ‘United States of the Arabs’ seeks Jerusalem as its Capital. The organization was funded by Hitler during World War 2 and started as a Masonic Lodge that is current to this Day in Cairo. Following the Egyptian Revolution of 2011, this Entity was legalized and gained a majority of seats in the legislature. Of note, the Party forbids women or Copts from holding certain Political Offices. Egypt has an estimated 6 Million Coptic Christians.

The word means ‘Islamic Resistance Movement’. Hamas also means ‘Devotion’ and ‘Zeal in the Path of Allah’. It is a Palestinian Sunni Islamic organization founded in 1987 during the 1st Intifada or Uprising against Israel. Their main objective is to liberate Palestine by destroying Israel and establishing an Islamic State in its place. In 2006 Hamas won a majority vote for control of Gaza against the PLO-Fatah Party. The largest supporters of HAMAS are Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Iran. Hamas is one that distinguishes between so-called ‘Jews’ and ‘Zionists’. Its struggle is said to be solely directed against the State of Israel and denies the Holocaust.

The word literally means ‘Party of God’. It is a Shi'a Muslim militant group and political party based in Lebanon. Their main goal was to ensure Israel’s explosion from Lebanon during Israel’s occupation of Southern Lebanon in the early 1980s. It also calls for the destruction of the State of Israel, which they refer to as the ‘Zionist Entity’. It engages in Guerrilla War Tactics against Israel. It was the 1st to use Human Suicide Bombers and the capturing of Israeli Soldiers. The Hezbollah Forces are trained and organized by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard.

As for Damascus? It is also interesting that the city of Damascus lies at the 33º Latitude. This is key in that the Occultists, who run world governments and wage world wars, specifically express their dealings through specific numbers and places. For example, Hiroshima lies almost on the same exact 33º line as Damascus. Nagasaki lies at the 32º Latitude. Many suggest that these cities were precisely chosen to be destroyed by the 1st nuclear bombs because of their latitude-number association. This happened on 1945, August 6th for Hiroshima and then 3 days later, on August 9 that with Nagasaki.

Could it be no different for Damascus if there is some validity to this assertion of what Isaiah 17 declared about it and where the city happens to be geographically? Damascus, as it is now, is a key commercial hub with trade routes that made it one of the major cross-points in the Middle East. It was at this city that according to the Bible, Saul's view of Christianity before his conversion is like that of the Arab’s view of the Jews now in Israel. They both want everyone involved with it destroyed.

Saul was nearing Damascus but suddenly found himself surrounded by a very ‘Bright Light’. He fell to the ground and heard a voice from Heaven say, ‘Saul, Saul, why do you Persecute Me?’ It was the voice of Jesus Christ Himself. It was not the Followers and Believers of Christ but Jesus Christ Himself whom Saul was opposing. Likewise, Arabs do not realize that it is not the Jews or ‘Zionists’ that they are opposing and seek to Annihilate.

It is Jesus Christ Himself whose Land, Jerusalem and the Temple have the Jewish people tied to or ‘Covenanted’ to the Birthright as an ‘Ever-lasting’ Inheritance from Jehovah. The Jews, the physical descendants of Abraham through Isaac and Jacob, in the eyes of the GOD of the Bible, Jehovah are inseparable from the Promised Land, Jerusalem and the Temple. And the Jews, despite centuries of persecution and slaughter in the Name of ‘Christ’, both Christian Catholic primarily, and Muslims can never be destroyed.

If so, then Jehovah would be reneging in His promise to Abraham, King David, etc. And for all the sins and rebellion of Israel, Jehovah was faithful in keeping1 Tribe, Judah to fulfill and keep His Promises. And it was not for how righteous, just and noble the Jews have been, but for Jehovah’s Name and integrity, etc. Saul of Tarsus represented the Sanhedrin of the Elders of Zion that condemned Jesus for Blasphemy and for calling them out as being nothing more than becoming Luciferian usurpers, the Synagogue of Satan and white-washed tomb whose only king was Caesar.

Saul was feared and considered a Fierce Opposer to those Followers of ‘The Way’ as that was what Christians were called initially. Yet Saul converted due to this encounter with a risen Jesus, on the road to Damascus. And this is now also; Israel will have such a similar encounter, apparition and conversion when Jesus returns at the Battle of Armageddon. Yet according to Isaiah 17, Damascus will face a similar judgment as it is perhaps metaphorically ‘blinded’ by a nuclear ‘Bright Light’. There might very well be a lot of conversions on the part of both the Arabs and Jews after such a Nuclear Strike.

Perhaps it will be because the Muslim Allah did not protect the Arabs from such a horrific judgment. And it will be also because the Jews will see their own Prophecy be fulfilled. When? One is of the interpretation that this Isaiah 17 nuclear destruction of Damascus will occur soon after the many Christians ‘disappeared’, i.e., the Rapture, etc. Realize that this destruction of Damascus could also very well be the judgment against the Muslims for their horrific slaughter of Christians throughout the decades. The Muslims have rendered the Middle East almost free of the Christian Witness.

All this is speculated that as the Rapture event ensues, only thereafter will the ‘Sudden Destruction’ occur. Note that Saul experienced 3 days of blindness. Perhaps there will be 3 days of total darkness as the nuclear fires rage and the dark clouds descend from Damascus with radioactive ashes that will block-out the Sun’s light. Perhaps as the darkness falls on Damascus, the ‘Light’ of Jehovah’s Word will relieve Israel’s temporary blindness per Romans 11:25. As to Saul? Now, Paul, became 1 of the Greatest Witnesses for Christ after his Conversion.

He suffered Imprisonments and Persecutions for his Witness. As one suggests, as the Bible does correlate the Rapture to coincide with a ‘Sudden Destruction’, perhaps such will be the Time and Place, concerning the Destruction, overnight of Damascus per Isaiah 17. What this means also is that the Church Age has just ended. And the Witness of Jesus will be transferred from the Church to the 144,000 Jewish Evangelists.

They will be sealed and anointed as the Book of Revelation describes for what will be the last Sabbath of Years or the 7-year Tribulation Period per an interpretation of Daniel, etc. These, like Saul, are the ones that will see the ‘Bright Light’ of Christ and come to see Yeshua (Jesus) as the true Messiah of Israel. They in turn will have the same zeal and fervor for world evangelism as Paul had and with the same power, effects and outcome. But like Paul at the end of his Ministry was Executed by the Roman AntiChrist type Nero, for being a Witness to Jesus

The 144,000 Jewish Evangelists and the many Believers coming to Jesus during the Tribulation that were Witnessed by them will likewise be beheaded and martyred for their Witness. These are the ones that will not pay political or religious allegiance to the False Prophet and the AntiChrist false Jewish Messiah, whoever they will be but will pay with their very Lives. The geo-political context will be when the entire world will be ruled by a 10-nation type of a ‘Revived Roman Empire’. This is based on Nebuchadnezzar’s statue in the ‘Last Days’ as far as it concerns Israel, which was, is and will be at the center of Biblical Prophecy, etc. Why so much beheading?

There will be a consequence for not taking on the Globalists Banking System Mark; that will be mandated for any commerce to occur. Now, a spiritual comparison between Jericho and Damascus will be made with Rapture overtones. It will involve the way Jericho was ‘suddenly destroyed’. Perhaps it may well be the same way in which Damascus is to be a heap of ruins, if Isaiah 17 is what it is referring to. Jericho was encircled 7 times and on the 7th time, the city was encircled 7 times. Here is a 7-7-7 Pattern that speaks of ‘completion’ or totality. As a result, the city walls 1) fell and 2) the fighting men went-up at 3) the shouts and sounding of the Jewish Shofars. One surmises that this is a type or picture of the Rapture event.

And Rahab was the type of those in the world of Jericho that got spared the ‘wrath’. The sign? It was in the Red Cord. That was and is the Sign of the Blood Covenant foreshadowing the blood of Jesus. In Jericho, Rahab and her family were the only ones ‘Saved’ from the city’s Sudden Destruction. They were ‘passed over’ due to the Red Cord that needed to be placed outside the wall of their home as a ‘sign’ to the Israelites. This speaks of the Passover Protocols, of having the red blood of Jesus that can only spare a person from the Wrath of Jesus that is to be unleashed upon the Earth after the Rapture.

The coming judgment of Jesus upon this world can be seen in how Joshua led that assault against Jericho. Like Jericho and possibly Damascus, to a lesser degree, once the judgments of Jehovah start to be poured-out by the breaking of the Seals of Revelation, it cannot be stopped. Joshua was a prophetic type of Jesus, as the ‘Captain of our Salvation’, that will be calling His Bride to go-up 1 day and like Rahab, be rescued from the destruction of the Greater Jericho to come. And that day might indeed coincide with a ‘Sudden Destruction’ of a certain city by the Sons of Israel as Isaiah 17 foretells.

If, so, then this could be when it perhaps, at that point in time, is when the shout of the voice of the Arch-Angel and the Trump of GOD will initiate the Blessed Hope. As Joshua spared Rahab and her family from Jericho's ‘Sudden Destruction’, so too Jesus promises to spare all those whose sins are washed by the blood of Christ, the Jewish Messiah. It is the sacrifice of Jesus on the Cross of Calvary that can only pay for the sins of humanity. Also realize that not only are sins washed-away through Jesus’ shed blood, but the risen Jesus, moreover, has also qualified His Followers to share in His very own power, authority and inheritance.

Christ’s blood is that ‘Sign’, that Red Cord against the coming Wrath of the Lamb, Jesus. It is a Wrath to pour-out upon this world’s city, the Greater Jericho, much like it was with Rahab living on its walls. This ‘Red Cord’ Sign in the End Times will be the Rapture event. It will be a Sign to Israel and the world. It will be the proclamation that the blood of Jesus Christ was upon the Believers and Followers, their Homes and Families as Rahab had. Like Rahab of Jericho, subsequent Rahab’s are also witnesses against the judgment that has come upon the nations after the Rapture that concludes the Church Age Commission.

And as a reward for Rahab’s faithfulness and disposition, such a Gentile was incorporated into the Commonwealth of Israel. And in fact, her very DNA is in the blood lineage of Jesus as a testimony of what the blood of Jesus can do, and that is to save from the Wrath to come and be incorporated into Jesus’ very own inheritance. Perhaps at the time is when a ‘Sudden Destruction’ comes upon Damascus because like Jericho, the people of the city opposed Israel’s right to the Promised Land. As to the timing or season of when the Rapture could occur?

One conjectures and calculates a mid-Summer Wheat connection. Concerning Israel returning to the Promised Land and recapturing Jerusalem? It is also interesting to note that for the 1st time since World War 2, the Jewish population has reached 14 million worldwide. The Jewish population was nearly decimated in the Nazi Concentration Camps by the end of World War 2. It appeared that Ezekiel’s ‘Valley of Dry Bones’ came to pass. Miraculously a Jewish Nation was thereafter ‘born’ from the ashes to become one of the greatest armies in the world, to this day.

Since then, there has been a steady increase in Jewish demographics that puts Jews now living in Israel Proper at over 7 million and another 7 million throughout the world. Here therein is another 7-7 pattern that perhaps might be tied into the ‘Last Days’ that Hosea spoke about. Perhaps it would be in the ‘Last Days’ when, at a certain point in time, based on a particular number count of Jews being alive, that a ‘completion’ will occur. And this could occur in tandem with the completion of the 7-fold Church Age. This ‘completion’ will set the stage for another desolation that is depicted also from Ezekiel.

That depiction is of the Gog-Magog invasion that is coming to Israel. One conjectures that this war will occur during the 7 years that remain in concluding the 490-Year Judgment against Judah. This could very well be what Daniel 8:14 refers to. The Tribulation Period will be when Israel, like a Saul, will have a direct encounter with Jesus. It will be when all of national Israel would seek and realize Jesus Christ to be their Messiah when His 2nd return occurs. As to the Rapture Typology? Jericho’s total annihilation and of its inhabitant, minus Rahab and her family, produced such a psychological trauma for the rest of the Canaanites that remained throughout the Promised Land, that they thereafter sought Peace with the Israelites. Perhaps so too, once Damascus is a ‘heap of ruins’ as Isaiah 17 describes it, the once fortified and proud Arab city that will fall fast and hard.

It will be so devastating to the morale of the rest of the Muslim World, that they will seek ‘Peace’ with Israel. It will be a False Peace after the defeat of the Inner-Ring of Muslim nations that could be the Psalm 83 War. This came about as a united Muslim front assault against Israel, so much so that Israel had to employ the Samson Option. But note, that to the Muslim psyche, a ‘peace’ is only a reprieve to rearm and prepare for their next war.

At this time, thereafter, is when Israel, for the time being, will live in ‘un-walled cities’ but with a false sense of ‘Peace and Security’ due to the AntiChrist’s promises, etc. This ‘Covenant’ will be confirmed by the then identified AntiChrist with the ‘Many’. The ‘Many’, in one’s interpretation refers to the reconstituted Sanhedrin that will rule Israel at this time and place.

This period of peace will be short-lived, as the Outer-Ring of Muslim neighboring nations will have only bought time to strengthen their alliance among themselves with Russia. This will culminate in a massive attack on Israel as described in the Gog-Magog invasion of Israel. Troublous and per-Tribulation period conditions in the world have now been coordinated and initiated. There is no turning back as with each passing day, week, month and year, Biblical Prophecy is unveiling itself. What is Humanity’s only hope of escape is, the ‘Rahab’ Rapture.

This text examines Israel’s clandestine nuclear capabilities and their projected role in End Times Biblical Prophecy. The author suggests that a nuclear strike on Damascus is an inevitable event foretold in the Book of Isaiah, signaling a transition from the current ‘Church Age’ to the Tribulation Period. By analyzing modern military technology alongside the stories of Saul and Rahab, the source links contemporary Middle Eastern volatility to ancient spiritual patterns. It details the Jericho Missile Systems and various Islamic militant groups to argue that Israel will eventually employ the ‘Samson Option’ for survival. Ultimately, the writing portrays these geopolitical conflicts as precursors to the Rapture and the return of Jesus Christ.

Not if, but when will World War 3 start? It has already. At least by some who Argue that Point, that World War 3 has already begun. One Chronicles various Geo-Political and Astronomical Factors, that would suggest this.

The purpose of this Book is to chronicle the Collapse of the End Times World Wars that are coming, according to the Bible. The Topics will focus on the Geo-Political and Spiritual Contention between Muslims and Jews.
