Rising Lion

 

From Eliyahu

 

This is Tsiyon News, June 17, 2025. However, I actually recorded this earlier.

 

It's morning of June 13th, 2025, and just last night the Israelis struck the nuclear program in Iran in Operation Rising Lion. I've just read this interesting article from JFeed (JFeed.Com), and I'm going to share a few excerpts with you. The headline is: Rise Like A Lion - Netanyahu's Prophetic Message Before Iran Attack Leaves Israelis Stunned.

"Just hours before Israel launched its most significant airstrike campaign on Iranian soil in recent history Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made a quiet yet symbolic pilgrimage to Judaism's holiest site, the Western Wall. There standing in solemn prayer, Netanyahu placed a handwritten note in the ancient stones. The message now seen as a prophetic prelude to what followed read: “The people will rise like a lioness and lift themselves up like a lion.” The quote drawn from the biblical book of Numbers held deep symbolic weight. While seemingly cryptic at the time, it now appears to have foreshadowed the name and spirit of the military campaign that would unfold just hours later."[JFeed.com]

 The strike began during the night targeting Iranian strategic sites, most notably the Natanz nuclear facility, in a coordinated and extensive air assault. Now, I know that since then you probably have heard the news and there have been further events, but I wanted to react immediately to what I'm seeing, because I think it's very significant, what is going on.

It's significant that Prime Minister Netanyahu left this prophetic message in the stones of the ancient Wailing Wall. It reminds us that he knows who Israel is. And he knows that Israel has a prophetic role in the world, and this is good to know. But what about us? Do we understand that we truly are living through prophetic times regarding Israel and regarding all of us?
 

That's what I'm thinking about today as I think upon the things that have happened with Israel over the last 20 years or so. Ever since then, I have been pointing to Israel as something of a clock telling us the times in which we live. And I've published books about this. I have published many radio programs about this and videos about this, about Israel's role here in the last days.

 

I've talked about Psalm 83. About a war that would go on between Israel and Israel's neighbors, where Israel's neighbors would say - well, let me read that for you - Let's begin with Psalm 83:1.

Do not keep silent, O God! Do not hold your peace, and do not be still, O God! For behold, your enemies make a tumult; and those who hate you have lifted up their head. They have taken crafty counsel against your people, and consulted together against your sheltered ones. They have said, "Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation, that the nation of Israel may be remembered no more." They have consulted together with one consent. They form a confederacy against you. (Psalms 83:1-5)

Then it goes from here in the following verses, laying out the peoples of the Middle East, mentioning many of the different peoples of the area. And then it says this about them:

O my God, make them like the whirling dust, like the chaff before the wind! As the fire burns the woods, And as the flame sets the mountains on fire, so pursue them with your tempest, And frighten them with your storm. Fill their faces with shame, that they may seek your name, O YHWH. Let them be confounded and dismayed forever; yes, let them be put to shame and perish, that they may know that you, whose name alone is YHWH, Are the Most High over all the earth. (Psalms 83:13-18)

This is such an interesting Psalm because it talks of a time when Israel would be surrounded by nations that would want to take their nationhood away from them to actually blot them out, and a prayer for YHWH to rise up to save his people. To be like a whirling wind and a flame, and to frighten them. To shame them and let them be confounded and dismayed forever.

 

Now, this battle has been going on. It's not a battle. It is a war. It has been going on for decades, and it reached a certain intensity around 2014 / 2015. It built up to a new level. Iran came out as the head of this particular coalition, created proxies throughout the area to surround Israel, and Israel has been dealing with this for a long time.
 

Then, as we know, in 2023 Israel suffered a horrific terrorist attack on Israeli soil. Hundreds of Israelis were massacred in the worst possible way, and this was the last straw. After so much had happened Israel decided it was time to put an end to all of this, Israel decided it was time to rise up as a lion.
 

What we've seen since then is Israel doing exactly that. And clearly what we see in these verses is what has happened. YHWH has used the nation of Israel, like a tempest, like a whirlwind to destroy all of these enemies of Israel. Now, the latest thing, to totally defang Iran, the last standing enemy in this particular war.

Israel - The Rising LionThe Defeated Empire

So where is this going from here? Well, the Scriptures talk about that. They tell us what's going to happen. And we can see this through the book of Ezekiel. I want to share a few thoughts about that. Ezekiel 36 begins a series of what we have labeled as chapters, talking about this time period that we are in right now.

 

It begins with a prophecy to the mountains of Israel talking to the Land. Explaining what had happened with Israel, why Israel was scattered off of the Land, the evil that they had done to God's name, and that for his own sake, for his name's sake, he was going to do a work with Israel to bring them back onto their Land. In Ezekiel 36, 5, it says:

Therefore, thus says the Lord, YHWH; “Surely I have spoken in my burning jealousy against the rest of the nations and against all Edom who gave my Land to themselves as a possession with wholehearted joy and spiteful minds in order to plunder its open country. Therefore, thus says YHWH; I have raised my hand in an oath that surely the nations that are around you shall bear their own shame. But you, oh, mountains of Israel, you shall shoot forth your branches and yield your fruit to my people Israel, for they are about to come. Ezekiel 36:5-8

So this is talking about the return of Israel to the Land shaming the nations in the process. There's more I could read here, but I want to get more to the heart of this in Ezekiel 37. In Ezekiel 37, we have what is called the prophecy of The Valley of the Dry Bones, and you can read this for yourself. It's about YHWH raising up Israel. YHWH explains the meaning of all of this. So let's get right to the center of that. Ezekiel 37 16 says this.

"As for you, son of man, take a stick for yourself and write on it: 'For Judah and for the children of Israel, his companions.' Then take another stick and write on it, 'For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and for all the house of Israel, his companions.' Then join them one to another for yourself into one stick, and they will become one in your hand. "

 

And when the children of your people speak to you, saying, 'Will you not show us what you mean by these?'--say to them,

 

'Thus says the Lord YHWH: "Surely I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel, his companions; and I will join them with it, with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they will be one in My hand." ‘And the sticks on which you write will be in your hand before their eyes.

 

"Then say to them, 'Thus says the Lord YHWH: "Surely I will take the children of Israel from among the nations, wherever they have gone, and will gather them from every side and bring them into their own Land; and I will make them one nation in the Land, on the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king over them all; they shall no longer be two nations, nor shall they ever be divided into two kingdoms again. (Ezekiel 37:16-22)

What it's talking about here is something that I have been teaching about for the last two decades, and that is the return of the tribes of Israel to be joined with Judah, who is already in the Land, in the Land of Israel, for the sake of the great name of our Father, YHWH in heaven.

 

What you are watching unfolding before your eyes in these events that are happening in Israel is YHWH, using Judah like a lion to subdue the enemies all around - To make a peaceful place in the Middle East so that the rest of the tribes, the scattered tribes of Israel, can be rejoined to their brothers, their Jewish brothers who are in the Land. But this is all of the tribes, not just the tribe of Judah, will be returning to the Land, and becoming one people in the Land.

But this is all of the tribes, not just the tribe of Judah, will be returning to the Land, and becoming one people in the Land.

And there will be an outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon all the Land so that the people who are there already as well as the tribes that will return, will be one people in the Land. We are very much getting very close to this. The events that you are seeing unfolding now are clearing the way, making the way for this return to happen. And it's imminent.

 

It's getting very close at the same time that we're seeing Iran and all of its proxies, defanged, that is also making way for the country of Turkey to rise up eventually as the enemy against Israel. Ezekiel chapter 38 talks all about that. I'm not going to get into all of that right now.

But what I am saying is that everything that the Scriptures have been pointing to in the prophets regarding Israel is what we have been observing and this great change that is happening right now, shaming the enemies of Israel, this is all prophesied in Scripture and it all means that we are getting very close to the return of the remnant here in these last days. I'm very excited about this.

 

Of course, it's what I've been telling you about for so long, and I just pray that his remnant people, wherever they are scattered in the world, will rise up and take notice of this, and that soon we can get back together again and organize ourselves for the Remnant Exodus to return home to our Land.

 

That's my message for this newsletter.
