If Iran (probably with allies, particularly Russia and Turkey) declares war on Israel, then the end is indeed very near indeed, for this is what prophecy says will happen. God will put hooks in their jaws and draw them into battle against Israel (Ezekiel 38:4-5). When this occurs, if you haven’t already done so, get right with God by calling upon His name to be saved (Romans 10:13), for time then is very short. A seven-year period of extreme conflict upon the whole earth is immanent, culminating with Armageddon (which will literally mark the end of the world as we know it today).
Israel’s enemies as listed in Ezekiel 38 will come against the land of Israel. There will be a great shaking (which could indicate nuclear warfare) in Israel; mountains will be levelled and “every wall shall fall to the ground”. (Ezekiel 38:18-20) This does appear to demonstrate use of exceptionally powerful bombs, probably nuclear. Iran has been working hard to get nuclear weapons developed, but even if they don’t, Russia does have a huge arsenal of powerful weapons including nuclear warheads that can be carried on hypersonic missiles that Israel’s defences may struggle to block. In any case, it appears that Israel will be invaded by a huge multi-national army In Ezekiel 38:21-23 God brings savage justice to this invading army. “I will rain upon him, and upon his bands, and upon the many people that are with him, an overflowing rain, and great hailstones, fire, and brimstone. Thus will I magnify myself, and sanctify myself; and I will be known in the eyes of many nations, and they shall know that I am the LORD.” (Vss 22-23) Prophecy in Ezekiel 39:1-6 says that this huge invading army will be totally defeated. All the people in the invading army will fall upon the mountains of Israel, and upon the open field. God will send a fire upon their nations and they will know that God is the Lord.
Ezekiel 39:7 – So will I make my holy name known in the midst of my people Israel; and I will not let them pollute my holy name any more: and the heathen shall know that I am the LORD, the Holy One in Israel.
So how does Israel end up wiping out a huge army that they were unable to prevent from invading? Prophecy in Daniel 9:26-27 tells us that a leader will come from the nation that destroyed Jerusalem and the temple in 70AD. He will make a covenant with Israel for seven years (“one week”). It was the Roman empire that destroyed Jerusalem in 70AD and therefore this leader will be from that same empire. known as the revived Roman empire (understood to be Europe today). This leader is the antichrist of that final seven-year tribulation period, and he will lead a European army against the invading armies in Israel, wiping them out, probably with nuclear weaponry, completely destroying them Prophecy suggests that not one will return home again. Prophecy also suggests that their home nations will also be savaged by the antichrist’s weaponry. Israel’s enemies might win the first round by invading Israel, but their victory will be very short-lived indeed. And while the antichrist is never named as such in the Bible, he will be a ruthless dictator who will seek to rule the world in that final seven years before Armageddon. He will be dominated by satan who will seek to rule the world through his servant, the antichrist, promising world peace and prosperity, but will be destroyed by Christ at Armageddon.

Ezekiel prophesies that the end-times will begin with Israel returning as an independent nation after so many years being scattered by God among the nations (Ezekiel Ch.37). This is followed by a prophecy that a number of Israel’s enemies would be dragged into war with Israel by God with hooks in their jaws (Ezekiel 38:4). That is, these enemies of Israel would declare war on Israel because God makes them do so; it will be God’s decision when and how they do this.
Ezekiel 38:4-5 – 4And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army …. 5Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them (where Persia = Iran today). Other peoples are listed, mostly in Turkey and Russia today; thus Turkey and Russia are also going to be drawn into this war against Israel.
Russia, Iran and Ethiopia are all member nations of BRICS, a world bloc set up to counter alleged western influence nation groups such as NATO. Turkey was invited to join BRICS in 2024 as a partner country, but its status here is uncertain. As such, these countries work with each other, especially in military alliances. Turkey being also a member of NATO may compromise its relationship with Russia. However, Turkey is a strong supporter of Israel’s enemies, especially the terrorists of Gaza, and has openly criticised Israel in her defence against the terrorist groups around her. Currently Iran and Russia have strong defence and munitions agreements; Iran has provided much of Russia’s weaponry against Ukraine, especially in drones, and Russia has provided satellite targeting data to Iran and her proxies including Yemen with GPS positioning for missile strikes. Russia still provides much weaponry and goods to Iran via Iran’s port on the Caspian Sea. This led to Israel bombing Iran’s Bandar Anzali port in March this year. Russia has also been instrumental in setting up the Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant, a major nuclear energy site in Iran.
Iran (Persia) openly declares its hatred for Israel, calling it little satan (while USA is called the great satan). Iran has set up its proxy armies in Lebanon, Gaza and Yemen with the singular purpose of destroying Israel. Iran has a religious hatred of Israel. In 2015 they set up a large clock in Tehran counting down to Israel’s destruction. They stated that there would be nothing left of Israel by 2040. The clock was allegedly destroyed by bombing by Israel in June 2025. The Gaza terrorist group 1988 charter calls for the destruction of Israel (“Israel will exist and will continue to exist until Islam will obliterate it”), and its 2017 charter demands “the establishment of a fully sovereign and independent Palestinian state, with Jerusalem as its capital”. By adopting Islam as its way of life, they therefore reject all other forms of religious worship as false and only fit for destruction. In particular, for this reason, they hate Israel.
Currently USA is allegedly trying to make peace of some sort with Iran, but Israel is unhappy, being left totally out of all and any discussions and negotiations regarding both Iran and especially Lebanon. It is likely Israel will be forced very soon to go it alone, against Iran, Russia, Turkey, Libya and Ethiopia etc.
