UPDATED 13 October 2025: At the Knesset in Israel this morning they're celebrating the release of the hostages and speaking very pragmatically about a long-lasting "peace through strength" in the Middle East. Eschatology Today will give the speakers in the Knesset this day as it is clearly a God-given day. It was appropriate that President Trump began his speech by invoking the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
However, even through they may be men of the Judeo-Christan faiths none are speaking with the authority of Almighty God. As we read in Holy Scripture days such as this one are actually important signposts along The Prophetic Road to Revelation. Despite all the glowing expectations voiced this morning there are unintended consequences directly ahead.
Here it is very important to note that in the Arab and Muslim nations which participated in this "peace process" they are not handing out sweets on the streets. That is most telling as we will soon see.
Also today at the Gaza Peace Deal Signing ceremony in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt post-hostage release there was talk of Gaza reconstruction - but only after the demilitarization of HAMAS and the other jihadists has taken place. Were there Arab Muslim countries volunteering to take the Islamic jihadists weapons away from them? No, there were not. Not Turkey, or Qatar or Egypt or the UAE. So who then completes this task? Does HAMAS disarm itself? Yeah, right. So, what force does? The only capable force is the IDF, meaning all proclamations of peace are just so much hot air and wishful thinking. Neville Chamberlain would be proud, he had worthless signatures on paper too.
15 October 2025: The IDF has been directed by Defense Minister Israel Katz to formulate new plans for the total conquest of Gaza and elimination of HAMAS.
The trigger for renewed, full-scale warfare by the IDF is the determination that the terrorists have not released all of the remains of deceased hostages as well as their failure to promptly and completely disarm.
17 October 2025: The current situation is one where HAMAS is providing the rope with which they will hang themselves. These terrorists are wildly flaunting the ceasefire terms they agreed to abide by, even murdering fellow Gazans, continuing attempts to engage the IDF either in firefights or ambushes to effect soldier kidnappings.
The express warnings have been given by Israel and the US. Eschatology Today believes renewed warfare will take us to the condition Ezekiel noted Israel would realize per the opening verses of chapter 38. At that point the prophetic Pslam 83 scenario will be historical fact.

| The War of Tekumah |
19 October 2025: This morning HAMAS brazenly attacked a mechanized IDF unit in Rafah with anti-tank rockets. A significant IDF land battle resulted from the attack with the Air Force acting in its usual force multiplier role joining the battle with heavy strikes on HAMAS targets in the south and north of Gaza.
THE WAR OF TEKUMAH
The government voted to rename this The War of Tekumah. Tekumah means Resurrection or Rebirth. Eschatology Today thinks the naming change is appropriate as this renewed war stands to fundamentally reshape Israel and its landscape in the coming days as foretold in Scripture, i.e. Israel fully reborn.
UPDATE 20 October 2025: Consistent with the central theme of SITREP B8-25: On the Prophetic Road to Revelation, the critical importance of the War of Tekumah in prophetic last days events requires unambiguous language.
In the vein of past as prologue, the role of the United States President Trump at this time mirrors in an important aspect that of the Persian King Cyrus. Neither Cyrus (His annointed, Isaiah 45:1) nor Trump in our day, knew/know the LORD initmately but did/do acknowlege His existence. Eschatology Today prays for Trump to receive Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior soon, yet his recent history and actions may indicate an "annoiting" pursuant to the Sovereign Will of God.
In Old Testament (OT) times large populations of various peoples were relocated to distant lands. This as the OT makes abundantly clear was within the LORD's will. Trump has repeatedly proposed relocation the Gaza civilians to various nearby Arabic-speaking lands. Coincidental? I think not as God is in control. His Will is in action every day and everywhere.
We know the outcome of the war in Gaza. The ongoing pulverization of its structures into rubble and dust; the eventual dispersement of the populatiom are prophetic certainties. Zephaniah 2 and Amos 1 will come to literal fulfillments. In fact, the entire coastal region of southern Israel and Gaza is prophesied to become grasslands for the grazing flocks of Israel's farmers and ranchers. These God-breathed prophetic words tell us true believers that Trump's vision of Gaza becoming a Middle Eastern version of the French Riviera has a zero chance of becoming realized.
