UPDATE: Iran has responded. The Daily Signal reported that Iran launched dozens of missiles at Israel late yesterday, injuring dozens of people.

Israel struck Iran early Friday morning, engaging in a “precise, preemptive strike,” attacking Iran’s nuclear program and killing several senior Iranian commanders.

Have you taken your place on the wall?

 

The Times of Israel has the details:

Jerusalem said it had engaged in a ā€œprecise, preemptive strikeā€ against Iran, declaring an imminent threat from its nuclear program and announcing a domestic state of emergency as citizens braced for retaliation. Top officials warned of a potential prolonged conflict, noting that Tehran had the power to inflict significant pain upon Israel.

Multiple waves of Israeli strikes were reported throughout Iran for several hours, starting at around 3 a.m. and into the morning. Over 200 Israeli Air Force aircraft were involved in the opening strikes, andĀ fighter jets dropped over 330 munitions on some 100 targets, the IDF said.

The operation, dubbed ā€œRising Lion,ā€ was directed at Iran’s nuclear program — the military assessed Iran currently has enough enriched uranium to build 15 nuclear bombs — as well as its ballistic missile factories and its military capabilities, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the military said.

The Times notes that blasts were reported in Natanz, the site of one of Iran’s key nuclear facilities, and that several nuclear scientists and high-ranking military officers were killed, including Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Commander Hossein Salami and Mohammad Bagheri, the chief of Iran’s military.

In a separate article, The Times details that “at least 20” were killed in the strike:

At least 20 senior Iranian commanders, including IRGC Aerospace Force Commander Amir Ali Hajizadeh, were killed in Israel’s strikes on Iran on Friday, two regional sources tell Reuters.

Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khameni has promised that Israel will face a “severe punishment” for its actions. “With this crime,” he said, “the Zionist regime has set itself for a bitter and painful fate and it will definitely receive it.” President Trump, meanwhile, has voiced support for Israel, writing on Truth Social that he gave Iran “chance after chance to make a deal.”

With America getting involved and Iran promising retaliation, we seem to be at the beginning of a much larger and longer conflict. Let’s pray for our leaders and Israel’s leaders as they stand boldly against Iran!

Father, we ask that You will step into the leadership gap in Iran, oversee it and fill it with the person of your choice. If he be a member of the underground church, so be it. If not, choose someone of integrity who loves the Iranian people, his country, has lived in and experienced the best of America, knowing we are no threat to his nation. Someone who has experienced capitalism without selfishness and greed. Someone who has no interest in ridding the world of Jews, warring with the nations in their neighborhood or the United States. Help them build a prosperous nation of freedom loving people where the name of Jesus and the gospel is respected and preached. Amen.

Praying for the Lord God Almighty to manifest himself in a way and that causes as many as possible in the Middle East to acknowledge Jesus Christ as Lord and savior. May their fear of God increase and may they submit to his omnipotence and mercy. In Jesus name, amen.

This past weekend began 30 days of prayer & day-long fasts for Israel with this prayer focus: ā€œI decree right now that in this year of grace to dethrone the giants, the giant that was never taken out in Gaza (Joshua 14), that giant’s headship will start to be and fully be broken,ā€ says the Lord. We say, ā€œBring back the bodies that have been snatched. And just like it says in Zechariah, loose the prisoners from the stronghold, & let a double portion repayment begin to come.ā€ We see this happening!

LET’s ā€œpray together in UNITY wherein the BLESSING is COMMANDEDā€
Gracious and Loving Father,
ABBA! We thank YOU that NOW is the TIME that YOU have released Yeshua to ARISE as the LION of the TRIBE of JUDAH to
BREAK the BOW of ELAM (Persia-which is modern day Iran) JEREMIAH 49:35-38

ā€œThis is what YHWH TZVA’OT, GOD of ARMIES says: ā€œBehold, I will shatter Elam’s BOW (missile system), the mainstay of their might.
I will bring the four winds AGAINST Elam (Iran) from the four corners of the Heavens, and I will scatter them to all these winds. There will not be a nation to which Elam’s exiles will not go. So, I will shatter Elam before their foes, before those who seek their lives. I will bring DISASTER upon them, even My Fierce Anger,ā€ declares YHWH. ā€œI will send out THE SWORD after them until I finish them off. (recent prophecy attached to this verse-read below!)
I will set My Throne in Elam (Iran) and destroy its king and officials (the horrible ayatollah regime REPRESSING the lovely Persian people!)
declares YHWH.

In June 2022, YHWH gave an Arabic Christian Intercessory Ministry of 200 ANOINTED DEBORAHS–these women serve the NORTHERN border
of Israel (in Nazareth)–a PROPHETIC VISION to match Jer. 49:34-39. The prophetic vision was of an evil OCTOPUS over the Middle East representing RUSSIA, UKRAINE, IRAN, SYRIA, IRAQ, LEBANON and Turkey. The ARABIC DEBORAH PRAYER WARRIORS were COMMANDED to call forth for 7 MIGHTY ANGELS with flaming swords (think in terms of Gen. 19:11 type of Angels) to JOIN their 7 swords to make ONE GIGANTIC SWORD of the LORD and UNRELENTINGLY STRIKE THE HEAD of the OCTOPUS (octopus tentacles can regenerate–so the HEAD must be stricken. It is not time to ā€œprune Islamic evilā€ā€“but rather DEAL WITH so the precious Harvest of BOTH JEWS and ARABS can ARISE. (Once Iran is dealt with, the Isaiah 19 Highway can MANIFEST–which He already has Arabic Christians praying and networking to create.) GLORY!

Thank YOU, Father, for the DOUBLE CONFIRMATION that a GREAT VICTORY is coming via a Prophetic Word of the Lord given on Day of Atonement in 2023 in Tel Aviv at a Messianic Congregation (TFIRET YESHUA CONGREGATION-THE RADIANT GLORY of YESHUA} that a GREAT VICTORY IS COMING–and ONLY YHWH will GAIN ALL THE GLORY. HIS NAME ALONE will be on everyone’s lips. And the Jewish People will ā€œrealize that they do NOT NEED RELIGION. Yeshua said the hard shell of religion will be broken off of them. They will turn back to their God (YHWH) and they will Keep His Commandments and SEEK HIS FACE, for they are HIS PEOPLE. [In the prophecy Yeshua commanded everyone hearing the prophecy to ā€œPRAY FOR MY PEOPLE! I will never forsake them!ā€ He furthermore said, “If you LOVE ME, love My People. Pray for My People. Keep My Commandments! (John 14:15)

COME, MIGHTY KING-EL GIBOR (Isaiah 9)–fulfill and bring to completion and bring to an END the trouble in GAZA (ZECHARIAH 9–half of which He has already completed. Go read it–some Gaza’s will join their hearts to YHWH and be a part of Judah!) and the FULL COMPLETION of this PSALM 83-seven fronted war. YES! STRETCH OUT YOUR TENTS and DRIVE YOUR STAKES in DEEP and PULL in YOUR Harvest as YOU regather the Jews from the nations. EXPAND Israel so that YOU can keep Your 64 Aliyah Promises (Yeshua has 64 ā€œRegathering of the Jews BACK to their UNILATERAL ABRAHAMIC COVENANTAL LAND PROMISES-known as the ā€œALIYAH PROMISESā€ He has to FULFILL these promises-so they will know their GOD IS YHWH and they can encounter the Gospel and accept Messiah–with their feet on the soil of their land!). Yes, we come into agreement “LET the TIME to FAVOR them begin (Ps. 102:13) and we will pray for that Harvest–ONE NEW MAN IN CHRIST JESUS!
(Exodus 12-beginning of the ONE NEW MAN TEMPLATE, Ruth 1:16-18, Romans 9-11, Eph 2, Ezekiel 47:21-23–(the HOLY PORTION of MILLENNIAL AND for all those who had ONE NEW MAN-COMMONWEALTH OF ISRAEL HEARTS) and REV. 7, 14, and 19.)

We praise YOU for how You work to protect Israel, the ONE NEW MAN Israeli Ekklesia of Messianic Jews, Arabic Christians and International Christians (stationed in Israel to help bring in the Jewish Harvest so they can sing ā€œBaruch habba B’Shem Adonai YESHUA!ā€(Blessed is HE Who COME IN THE NAME OF YHWH, YESHUA!ā€). Thank YOU for Your PROTECTION & SHIELDING of the rising harvest of Jews–many Jews are now inquiring and searching the Scriptures to see if Yeshua truly is MESSIAH! PRAISE YOU for this MIGHTY and HOLY MOVE of YOUR SPIRIT-Your Ruach Ha’Kodesh! BLESS Bibi, the IDF, MOSSAD, David’s Sling officers and the IRON DOME officers, Special Ops for the tunnels. GRANT THEM SUPERNATURAL SUCCESS as they rise up ā€œlike lions and lionessesā€ (Numbers 23:23-24). ā€œCOMMAND VICTORIES for JACOB!ā€(Ps. 44:4)

We praise YOU, ABBA-Father, Yeshua and Holy Spirit for granting grace, safety and endurance to the Underground Persecuted Persian Ekklesia (the fastest growing church in the world–led by female evangelists–brave lionesses!(Numbers 23:23-24). When the present wicked and REPRESSIVE regime is REMOVED–ABBA–help the Underground Ekklesia to ARISE AND SHINE IN YOUR GLORY and TAKE BACK ALL OF IRAN and TRANSFORM IT for YOUR GLORY! Heal all the brokenness inflicted by Islam and Sharia Law. BRING THEM FREEDOM in CHRIST!

For the American military–our precious men and women who serve us–as they are EVACUATED…
Please grant Divine Wisdom (Proverbs 9:1), efficiency and facilitate help from MIGHTY ANGELS (Ps. 103:20,
Ps. 91:11, Ps. 34 to encamp around about them as they evacuate. Yeshua, DISPATCH Gen. 19:11 Angels with Flaming Swords to
blind their enemies and deflect any potential missiles away from American bases (or wherever they have been
stationed.) ABBA–COVER the American Military UNDER THE HOLY BLOOD of Jesus Christ Our Messiah and SHIELD them
via Gen. 15:1, Ps. 3:3 and Ps. 91. In Your Mercy, grant an expeditious removal of American soldiers while Israel stands alone–and will
thus bring YOU ALL THE GLORY–for ā€œYOU ARE YHWH; that is YOUR NAME! You will NOT yield YOUR GLORY to another nor
YOUR PRAISE to idols!ā€Isaiah 42:8

ABBA, thank for the BLESSING of being saved, knowing Yeshua-Jesus as OUR KING and being allowed to serve YOU
as intercessors–and SEE ALL THIS PROPHECY COME TO PASS before our very eyes!
ā€œThis is YHWH’s doing; it is marvelous in our eyes!!!ā€(Ps. 118:23). Bless every single Christian who prays for Israel, The Apple’s Your Eye and Your First Born Son! (Gen. 12:3, Numbers 24:9)

All this we ask in Jesus’ HOLY MAJESTIC NAME…
As it is written, as it is PROMISED, SO LET IT BE DONE
and in UNITY , we ask for it to be granted quickly
as we AFFIX YOUR SIGNET RING (Esther 8:2, Esther 8:8-9)

Amen! AMEN!

    Yes and amen, Michelle! I was just considering the Scripture in Jer. 49 this morning. I felt that the Lord was speaking to me in this layered prophecy for ancient times and modern times. Perhaps there will be both a return to Persia once this evil regime is destroyed, and a sending out. Some will return to take back their nation from this conquest of the ayatollahs. And many evangelists will be sent out to the Islamic nations. They are chomping at the bits to go! May it be so according to Your will and timing!

This is the beginning of the end to this evil regime in Iran. We are thankful YHVH, that You are acting on behalf of Israel, Your beloved, and on behalf of our precious brothers and sisters in faith in Iran to bring it to pass. Complete what You have begun, in whatever ways will limit unnecessary death and destruction. Please protect Your people.
