The Dragon's Prophecy

1. An Unseen Spiritual War Drives World Events

There is more to the world than what we see with our eyes.

Behind the visible. The book posits that an unseen spiritual realm, beyond human measurement, orchestrates the history and events of our world. This realm is home to primeval, undying forces that lie behind wars, evils, and calamities, often foretold in ancient prophecies. Dismissing this spiritual dimension is done at our peril, as its impact is critical.

The mystery of evil. Evil is not merely an impersonal force but a personal one, requiring consciousness, will, and intent. It is an inversion of truth and existence, parasitic by nature, seeking destruction. This leads to the concept of an "uncreated" evil, defying the created order, originating from a created angelic being who, through free will, turned against God and existence itself, becoming the Devil, the Enemy.

The Enemy's essence. The Devil, or Satan (from Hebrew sahtan meaning opponent/adversary), is the ultimate Enemy, at enmity with all that is. He is the "father of lies," seeking to destroy God's works, especially humanity, by separating man from God. His actions are "diabolical," defying rational explanation, and manifesting in historical evils like Nazism and the Holocaust, bearing witness to a reality beyond the natural.

2. Israel: The Dragon's Ancient and End-Time Target

The very existence of the Jewish people is a witness testifying to the existence of God.

A mystery people. The Jewish people have always been an anomaly, uniquely connected to a land yet often landless, separate from nations yet critical to world history. Called into existence by God to be a "kingdom of priests," Israel is a central conduit for God's purposes, and their existence itself testifies to God's reality.

The anti-Semitic angel. Given Israel's divine calling, the spiritual entity warring against God's purposes would inevitably target them. Satan, whose name means "Opposer" in Hebrew, is first and foremost the Adversary of Israel. This explains the enduring, irrational hatred—anti-Semitism—that has plagued the Jewish people across millennia, mutating but always maintaining its deadly core.

The Accuser's tactics. The Dragon, as the "accuser of our brethren" and "father of lies," ensures the Jewish people are the most slandered and falsely accused in history. This ancient hatred, described as orgidzo (fury, wrath, violent passion), manifests in schemes of murder and destruction, from Pharaoh to Hitler, and is evident in those who embody evil, revealing the Enemy's fingerprints throughout Jewish history.

3. The Dark Resurrection of Israel's Ancient Foe

If God brought forth the resurrection of Israel, the Enemy would seek to do likewise, to imitate Him—to bring forth another resurrection, his own resurrection, an alternate and substitute resurrection.

Mimicking God's work. Just as God resurrected Israel as an ancient nation into the modern world, the Dragon, as the "dark mimic," would orchestrate an "anti-resurrection." This would involve raising up Israel's ancient archenemy, a people long vanished, to nullify Israel's miracle and take its place.

The Tanim connection. The Hebrew word tanim (or tannin), meaning "monster," "serpent," or "dragon," is used in prophecies against Israel's ancient enemies like Pharaoh and Nebuchadnezzar. This word is the same root as the Greek drakohn (dragon) in Revelation 12, linking Israel's flesh-and-blood enemies to the eternal Enemy. The Dragon uses these "little dragons" as vessels.

The Philistine return. The most persistent ancient enemy, the Philistines (Pileshtim), vanished from history but were destined for a dark resurrection. Their reappearance would be timed with Israel's, first the Israelites, then the Philistines, three thousand years later. This counter-resurrection would be based on identity, characteristics, and role, not solely genetics, conforming a modern people into the image of the ancient Philistines.

4. Gaza: The Rebirth of Ancient Philistia

The modern re-creation and incarnation of ancient Pilashet, Philistia, the land of the Philistines, is the Gaza Strip.

The anti-land. After the Bar Kochba Revolt (AD 135), the Roman Empire renamed the land of Israel "Palaestina" (Palestine), after the Philistines, to erase its Jewish connection. This "anti-name" for an "anti-land" was the first seed of the Dragon's future counter-resurrection, setting the stage for a people to bear the name "Filastin" (Palestinian) and claim the land.

The 1948 convergence. Israel's rebirth in 1948 inadvertently led to a massive influx of Arab inhabitants into the coastal strip bordering Sinai, the very land of ancient Philistia. This region, now known as the Gaza Strip, became the modern incarnation of Pilashet. The "All-Palestine Protectorate," the earliest Palestinian state, was, in fact, the Gaza Strip itself.

Metamorphosis into ancient image. The Arab inhabitants of this region, now identifying as Filastin, began to morph into the image of the ancient Philistines. This involved:

• Becoming increasingly warlike and predisposed to violence.
• Glorifying bloodshed and venerating those who killed Israelis.
• Harboring an "ancient hatred" and thirst for vengeance against Israel.
  This transformation was not planned by the people but orchestrated by an ancient spirit, making them unwitting victims and vessels of the Dragon.

5. October 7th: An Ancient War Replayed

The number of Gazans in the ancient account was about three thousand. On October 7 the number of Gazans who invaded the land to slay the people of Israel was about three thousand.

Predator and prey. The Dragon, a predator (serpent, lion, wolf), impels his resurrected vessels to invade Israel's dwellings. Just as ancient Israelite villages near Philistia were vulnerable, modern Israeli kibbutzes and moshavs bordering the Gaza Strip became prey. The fortified cities of ancient Israel, like those of King Rehoboam, find their modern parallel in Israel's "Iron Wall" and defense systems.

The return of the raiders. On October 7, 2023, the resurrected Filastin invaders from Gaza breached Israel's defenses, raiding villages just east and inland of the Gaza Strip, mirroring ancient Philistine incursions. This attack on the Shephelah and Negev regions, historically targeted by Philistines, was a precise replay of ancient dynamics, shocking the world but fulfilling an ancient mystery.

Ancient barbarities. The October 7th invasion resurrected specific Philistine acts:

• Captives: Israeli civilians (women, children, elderly) were taken hostage to Gaza, echoing the Philistines taking Israelite captives to Philistia (Joel 3:6).
• Galah (Stripping Naked): Many female victims were found stripped naked, a brutal act of humiliation and debasement, mirroring ancient practices of stripping captives.
• Beheadings/Mutilations: The invaders committed decapitations and mutilations, acts of extreme barbarity reminiscent of the Philistines beheading King Saul and Goliath.
• Hiding in Pits: Israelis hid in holes and pits, just as ancient Israelites did when terrorized by Philistine warriors (1 Samuel 13:6).
• The Three Thousand: The IDF estimated ~3,000 Hamas terrorists invaded, precisely matching the ~3,000 Gazans Samson killed in Dagon's temple (Judges 16:27), a "revenge of Gaza."

6. The Dragon's Desecration of Holy Times

The name Israel gave to October 7 was HaShabbat HashHorah. It is the same name given to a convocation of Satan.

The Black Sabbath. October 7th fell on a Sabbath, the holy day of rest and blessing for Israel. The Dragon inverted this, turning a day of peace into war, life into death, and God's blessing into devastation. It became a "Black Sabbath," where unholy guests invaded Jewish homes, breaking numerous Sabbath laws:

• Tzod: Trapping and forced confinement of civilians.
• Koshair: Binding hostages.
• Hotzaah: Transporting captives across domains.
• Mavir: Igniting fires and explosives.
• Shokhait: Taking life through slaughter.

The Dragon's holiday. October 7th also coincided with Shemini Atzeret and Simchat Torah, a joyous holiday marking the completion of the Torah reading cycle. The Dragon inverted this joy into mourning for Israel, while celebrations erupted in Gaza and the West Bank, with people dancing, chanting, and distributing sweets—mimicking Simchat Torah customs, but in celebration of Jewish bloodshed.

A Jubilean of darkness. The Yom Kippur War (1973), Israel's most traumatic modern conflict, began on a Sabbath and holy day. Fifty years later, in 2023, the "Devil's Jubilee" brought another surprise invasion on a Sabbath and holy day (October 7th), mirroring the 1973 attack's timing, surprise, and overwhelming force. This marked a desecration of the Jubilee, a time meant for freedom and restoration, turning it into a time of captivity and destruction.

7. End-Time Prophecy Unfolds Through Modern Conflicts

The same nations that the prophecy foretold would all be part of the invasion of Israel have now all had a part in that very thing—an invasion of Israel.

Ezekiel's Raiders. Ezekiel 38 and 39 prophesy an end-time invasion of a resurrected Israel by a coalition of nations. October 7th, 2023, served as a precursor, with the nations identified in Ezekiel's prophecy playing a role in arming and funding Hamas:

• Kush (Sudan): Served as a major smuggling route for weapons to Gaza.
• Phut (Libya): Supplied significant amounts of weapons to Hamas.
• Gog, Magog, Meshekh, Tubal, Gomer, Togarmah (Turkey): Provided critical funding and support to Hamas, including facilitating arms smuggling from Libya.
• Paras (Iran): The chief sponsor, providing funds, weapons, and training, making the invasion possible.

The Storm/Flood. The invasion's Arabic name, "Tufan," means "Flood" or "Storm," aligning with Ezekiel's description of the end-time invasion coming "like a storm" (shoah in Hebrew, also meaning Holocaust). This convergence of ancient prophecy and modern events suggests a closer proximity to the fulfillment of Ezekiel's prophecy than previously imagined.

Prophetic timing. The 2,315 days between the Six-Day War (June 5, 1967) and the Yom Kippur War (October 6, 1973) mirrored the 2,315 days between the Jerusalem Resolution (June 5, 2017, 50 years after Six-Day War) and October 7, 2023. Furthermore, the 18,263 days of Jerusalem's Jubilean cycle (June 5, 1967 to June 5, 2017) when counted from the Yom Kippur War (October 6, 1973) also landed precisely on October 7, 2023.

8. Angelic Warfare and the Prince of Persia

The Sar Paras is a demonic entity.

Spiritual princes. Daniel 10 reveals a spiritual war where an angel sent to Daniel was hindered by the "Sar Malkhut Paras" (Prince of Persia), a demonic entity warring against God's end-time purposes for Israel. This entity still exists, seeking to control Persia (modern Iran) and thwart Israel's restoration.

Iran as a vessel. The rise of radical Iran in the late 1970s, obsessed with Israel's destruction, aligns with the reactivation of the Sar Paras. Iran, driven by this ancient spirit, became a terror state, funding and arming proxies like Hezbollah and Hamas, and seeking nuclear capabilities to threaten Israel.

Michael, the Sar Yisrael. Opposing the Sar Paras is Michael, the "Sar Yisrael" (Prince of Israel), who fights for God's people. This spiritual conflict manifests as the mortal enmity between Iran and Israel. The direct attack by Iran on Israel on April 13, 2024, marked a prophetic milestone, a direct fulfillment of Ezekiel's prophecy, and a visible manifestation of this angelic war in the "ouranos" (sky).

The fall of the Sar Paras. Ebrahim Raisi, Iran's president and a "Sar Paras" (Persian Ruler), was a key agent in Iran's war against Israel, even threatening Israel's annihilation on Passover. His death in a helicopter crash on a mountain, just over a month after Iran's direct attack on Israel, is interpreted as a divine judgment, a "reciprocity" for his actions and a shadow of Ezekiel's prophecy that invaders will "fall upon the mountains."

9. The Beast's Spirit and the Palestinization of Culture

As the Dragon’s nature is pride and blasphemy, so too the nature of the Beast.

The Dragon's ultimate vessel. The Beast (Antichrist), described as a "therion" (dangerous, wild predator), will be the Dragon's ultimate personification, embodying his nature of opposition, blasphemy, and defiance against God. He will twist reality, change times and law, and wage war against creation, humanity, and life itself.

The anti-Messiah. The Beast will mimic the Messiah, offering a false salvation and a false peace, ruling over a one-world civilization. He will be the arch-predator, the ultimate anti-Semite, culminating all historical hatreds against the Jewish people and seeking their final annihilation.

Palestine stratagem. The "Palestine mystery and stratagem" reveals the Enemy's master plan: to take what belongs to God (land, civilization, human nature), separate it from its divine identity and purpose, and replace it with an alternate, fabricated, and conflicting identity. This "Palestinization" is seen in:

• Western civilization: Severed from its biblical foundations, adopting anti-biblical, pagan identities.
• Human nature: Redefined, separated from created purpose, with alternate gender and family identities.
• Individual lives: Separated from God, given fallen identities and purposes.
  The global rage against Israel post-October 7th, including the "woke" movement's anti-Semitism, is a glimpse of the Beast's spirit preparing the world for his coming.

10. The Call to Overcome the Dragon

And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.

Dragon fighters. Believers in Messiah are called "the rest of her children" (Israel's spiritual offspring) and are also targets of the Dragon's wrath. They are to be "Dragon fighters," overcoming him by the blood of the Lamb and their testimony. This victory, nikao (to conquer, triumph), is already assured in the spiritual realm.

The enduring good. The Dragon, like serpentine and reptilian creatures, lacks endurance; his power is temporary and ephemeral. Evil, being parasitic, cannot ultimately prevail as it cuts itself off from the good by which it exists. In contrast, the good is primary, absolute, and eternal, destined to endure forever.

The Lamb's victory. The ultimate conflict is between the Dragon and the Lamb. Though the Dragon appears strong and deadly, the innocent Lamb (Messiah) overcomes him. This is the promise for believers: in the Lamb, they receive the power to overcome all evil, darkness, and sin, becoming a "spiritual IDF" that defies the world's hostility.

Israel's witness. Israel's miraculous survival against millennia of persecution, despite being the "weakest of all peoples," stands as a powerful witness that God is real, His Word is true, and His promises endure. If God has been faithful to Israel, He will be faithful to all who follow Him. This enduring hope empowers believers to press on, fight the good fight, and overcome the Dragon, knowing that the "days of Dragonlessness" will ultimately come, ushering in God's eternal kingdom.
