"Middle East On Edge - Spiral of Conflict Continues"


 
Hello John and Doves,
 
Heads up!
 
Iran launched some 200 ballistic missiles at Israel - most of those were intercepted.  Now Israel is going to respond:  In this attack by Iran on Israel, the missiles went deeper into Israeli territory.
 
PM Netanyahu said that "Iran made a big mistake and it will pay for it."
 
This response by Israel against Iran could come within days.  Was Iran baiting Israel to 'come after them' during the Jews' Fall High Holy Days?  Will Israel's retaliation come on October 7th?
 
And, after Iran fired those missiles at Israel, Russian citizens are now being "urged" to leave Israel due to increasing tensions in the area. 
 
Also, there is a video at the end about October 9th - I think he makes a good case for the Tribulation Period starting on that date.  Just a thought...
 
 
New Moon Sighting and Jewish Calendar:
 
"Israel-based observation:  Sighting report of the renewed moon are expected:  Friday evening October 4, 2024.  For those of us looking at an October Tishrie, this would be the 7th month and not the 8th month.
Renewedmoon.com: Reported Crescent Moon Sightings, 8th Renewed Moon of 2024-2025 (October/November 2024) - for Observed Biblical Calendar Followers
 
This sighting would put the days on this calendar over two days (?):  So Rosh Hashanah would be the evening of October 4 to the evening of October 5 (A Shabbat/Saturday) instead of the evening of October 2 to the evening of October 3..
October, 2024 / Elul, 5784 - Tishrei, 5785 - Jewish Calendar - Hebrew Calendar
 
Yom Kippur/Day of Atonement would then be 10 Tishei, October 13/14 and Sukkot/Feast of Tabernacles on October 17/18.
 
Will Israel surprise Iran by attacking during one of these High Holy days?  And if Israel does, will Iran hit back during another High Holy Day?  Because we are looking at a spread of High Holy Days in October, from now until October 24 which is Shemini Atzeret - the one year anniversary of the October 7 Hamas slaughter of Jews and others in Israel.
 
Israel's Pledge to Respond:
 
"Israel's pledge to respond to a massive missile strike from Iran has sent diplomats scrambling for ways to avert a full-blown regional war."
 
"Former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett argued on Wednesday for a more targeted military attack on Iran's nuclear facilities."
 
"President Biden will most likely step in to negotiate but I doubt he will have much influence," said Jordan Barkin, an Israeli political analyst and former magazine editor.  The US also lacks direct relations with Iran, meaning any diplomatic move to defuse tensions would need European or Middle Eastern involvement."
 
"Everything will depend on the Israeli reaction....."

How will Israel react to Iranian missile attack?
 
"Israel's military indicated it would retaliate against Iran, but didn't provide details on the timing or scale of an attack.  Iran said any retaliation would invite a "crushing response" and canceled commercial flights across the country...'
Israel's military says Iran launched missile attack; oil and gold rally | Seeking Alpha
 
 
"Officials say Israel's options include attacks in Iran, such as on missile launchers or oil infrastructure, some have even called for strikes against its nuclear facilities."
How Israel could retaliate against Iran
 
"There are so many things they (IDF) can hit, and they're going to be able to hit all those with great effectiveness.  Iran's not going to be able to stop them...BUT Israel will have to balance the potential reaction from Iran, including the risk of Tehran could choose to launch attacks on Arab Gulf states that host U.S. air bases or choose to plant sea mines in the Strait of Hormuz, the narrow waterway between the Persian Gulf and the Indian Ocean through which a fifth of the world's oil passes."
 
The most likely targets:  command and control centers, missile launchpads, fueling sites and commanders overseeing the country's ballistic missile arsenal.  Also, intelligence centers, air defense systems, drone sites.  Also, oil infrastructure, gasoline refineries, terminals to ship oil out of the country, petrochemical plants, electric power station.
 
Such attacks could drive up oil prices and "jolt the global economy."  In retaliation Iran could plant sea mines in the Strait of Hormuz.

From missile batteries to oil refineries to nuclear labs, Israel could hit a wide range of targets in Iran
 
Analysts are saying that an attack on Iran's oil/gas facilities could devastate Iran's economy and cause huge problems for other Middle East oil producers.
 
"The European Union said, "successive waves of attacks and retaliations have been fueling an uncomfortable spiral of conflict."

The Biden administration wants a 'proportionate' attack on Iran.  Don't know who's going to decide what THAT is.
 
"Is it possible that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his Security Council will order the IDF to launch a massive attack against Iran's nuclear facilities, oil refineries and even a decapitation strike against Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and the Iranian regime on or around the one year anniversary of the October 7th invasion by Hamas and slaughter of 1,200 Israeli Jews?  Yes."
 
Biden is "publicly warning Netanyahu not to use the Iranian attack on the Jewish state this week - with nearly 200 ballistic missiles - as a pretext to order large-scale attacks against Iran's nuclear facilities."  Biden said Israel's response must be "proportional."  Biden said he would not "support an Israeli military attack to destroy Iran's nuclear program."

October Surprise:
 
We've all heard about "October Surprise" - some are saying "Enough is enough."  They are calling for Israel to "decapitate" the Iranian regime, destroy Iran's oil refineries and nuclear facilities.  "Israel can't wait."
 
"Israel should vanquish and eradicate Hezbollah's terror threat and offensive missile capabilities once and for all, while the organization is shell-shocked and disoriented.  At the same time, Israel should use Iran's massive missile attack on Tuesday to decapitate the Iranian regime.  Assassinate Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.  Assassinate dozens of Iran's top government and military leaders.  Destroy Iran's oil refineries and oil storage facilities.  Destroy, too, Iran's nuclear facilities.  Neutralize Tehran's nuclear weapons program once and for all."
 
"The Iranian regime doesn't expect Israel to strike so hard, fast and decisively.  Because no one ever does. That is precisely why now is the time to strike."
 
Now is the time for Netanyahu to protect Israel and the Jewish people and prevent a Second Holocaust.  Stopping the Iranian regime from building an "arsenal of nuclear bombs".

Add this to:  Moscow tells citizens to leave Israel.  This is a big heads up.

"The Russian ambassador to Israel, on October 3, has urged Russian citizens to leave the Jewish state in view of the increasing tensions in the region.  The appeal came after Iran fired nearly 200 missiles at Israel in response to the intensification of Israel airstrikes in Lebanon."  He is concerned over "heightened escalation."  He said, "The situation in Israel and the neighboring countries is highly intense."
 
"Multiple Russian airlines canceled flights over Israel, Iran and Iraq earlier this week in accordance with recommendations from Russia's civil aviation agency."  (Maybe Iran Russia a heads up.)

How long before this is so ratcheted up, it WILL be labeled a "full-blown war"?
 
So what will this mean when it begins?  Already, ME countries are threatening to turn off the oil and gas spigots to Europe.

This conflict is really ramping up.  Iran is expecting to get hit hard and is trying to protect its assets.
 
"Might Netanyahu order IDF to deliver knockout blow to Tehran on or around October 7th?"

I am sending this letter to Doves on 10/3 - no 'massive' attack yet.  Everyone is on pins and needles as this continues to unwind and ramp up.
 
October 7 is Monday.  This is just a few days before the Eve of Yom Kippur/Day of Atonement.  I've thought that Day of Atonement would be a most interesting day for the start of the Tribulation Period.

This is an interesting video on what's going on in the Heaven in the month of October - a concise overview.  And he brings in the Four Horsemen in the constellations.  (I thought this would be a good video for an introduction to the Tribulation starting on October 9th.\\

I agree with the author of the AllIsrael.com article above:  "Strike hard, strike fast, strike now."
 
Nothing will happen outside of God's will.  We shall see how this unfolds in the coming days as we continue through the Fall High Holy Days.
 
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!
