From Eliyahu
The news has
not stopped buzzing this week about the attack of the USA on Iran's
nuclear program. No doubt, you know those facts. I have a bigger
interest to discuss in these events. Namely, what does all of this mean
in Bible prophecy?
Before we get into that, let's
consider Iran's track record over this last decade.
Actually, to
be clear here, we are talking about Iran's criminal government, the IRGC,
not the people of Iran itself. When we speak of rogue regimes in our
world today, one name consistently stands out - the Islamic Republic of
Iran (IRGC). Not just because of its aggression abroad, but because of
its cruelty at home. As we examine its campaign against Israel, we must
understand something about the character of the IRGC regime. Consider
this: the regime has been waging a brutal war against its own people.
A War on the Iranian People
In the streets of Tehran, in the prisons of Evin, and across provinces
like Kurdistan and Baluchestan, Iranians - especially women, minorities,
and dissidents - have lived under fear and repression for decades.
When Mahsa Jina Amini died in police custody in 2022 after being
arrested for her hijab, she became a symbol. Her death sparked a
nationwide uprising, led by women and girls demanding freedom. The
government’s response was swift, savage, and unrelenting. Children were
shot in the streets. Protesters were hanged from cranes. Families were
silenced with threats, arrests, and torture.
In 2024 alone, nearly a thousand executions were carried out. Many were
political prisoners. Others were ethnic minorities. The regime’s message
is clear: dissent is treason, and any identity outside its mold is a
punishable offense.
But the regime’s crackdown
extends beyond political dissenters and ethnic minorities. Religious
minorities, particularly Christians and Bible believers of any stripe,
are subject to harassment, imprisonment, and surveillance. Converts face
harsh punishments - labeled as threats to national security simply for
practicing their faith. Underground home Bible meetings are raided.
Bibles are confiscated. And Iranian believers in Messiah, are frequently
denied employment, education, and legal protections.
In Iran, faith itself is treated as subversion by the
IRGC.
And this adds another layer to the regime’s identity - one not
only hostile to political freedom, but to basic religious liberties as
well.
This isn’t just a country with a poor human rights record. This is a
regime at war with its own people - their minds, their bodies, their
voices. That is why Israel can truly say their war is not with the
repressed Iranian people. It is against their oppressors.
A Doctrine of Hatred Toward Israel
The same
brutality that crushes citizens at home fuels IRGC’s obsession abroad -
especially with the Jewish state of Israel. Iran doesn’t hide its intent; it
broadcasts it.
The Supreme
Leader of IRGC has called Israel “a cancerous tumor” that must be destroyed.
Banners in Tehran boast that Tel Aviv could be obliterated in “400 seconds.”
In 2019, Brigadier General
Hossein Salami, then deputy commander of
IRGC’s
Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, stated: “Our strategy is to erase Israel
from the global political map.” He warned that a war with Israel would end
in its elimination. (Ironic, since war with Israel later led to his own
elimination.)
On Quds Day,
young Iranians are paraded through the streets to chant death to Israel - a
ritual of indoctrination designed to breed hatred, not hope. This rhetoric
isn’t empty. It is an articulation of policy. IRGC doesn’t view Israel as a
rival state. It views Israel as an enemy to be erased, much as it views some
of its own citizens.

IRGC Strategy: Proxy Warfare and
Plausible Deniability
Since 2015,
IRGC’s
efforts to destroy Israel have escalated through a shadow war that has
stretched from Iran, through Iraq, Syria, and on to Lebanon and Gaza,
extending from Damascus to the Red Sea.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps - particularly the Quds Force - has
built a network of militant groups known as the “Axis of Resistance.” These
include:
Hezbollah, in Lebanon: armed with tens of thousands of Iranian rockets
and embedded along Israel’s northern border.
Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad, in Gaza: recipients of Iranian
funds (at least $350 million annually and billions from other sources),
training, and weapons, responsible for barrages of rocket attacks and
deadly incursions.
The Houthis, in Yemen: whose missiles have targeted both Israel and
global shipping routes in solidarity with Iran’s campaign.
Shiite militias in Iraq and Syria, who serve as additional pawns in
Tehran’s regional chessboard.
It is notable that billions of dollars are covertly diverted from the UN and
from USA through NGOs and other means to support these terrorist
organizations. The U.S. Treasury and State Department have been actively
sanctioning individuals and entities involved in these schemes.
For example, this month (June 2025), the U.S. sanctioned five individuals
and five sham charities for funneling money to Hamas and the Popular Front
for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) under the cover of humanitarian work.
Translation: be very careful what you are donating to. They may ask you to
donate to help needy children, while the real outcome is to supply
terrorists with guns and bombs that will kill children.
The terrorist proxy network has given
IRGC
the tools to surround and harass Israel without direct confrontation. It has
provided them plausible deniability while waging asymmetric warfare -
terrorism wrapped in ambiguity.
But the mask
slips.
IRGC
celebrated when Hamas massacred 1,200 people in Israel in 2023
- a brazen act of
war that shattered any illusion that Iran acts in defense.
With that horrid act the
IRGC
regime overplayed its hand, and roused the rising lion.
The Bigger
Picture: Why the West Calls it a Rogue State
The term “rogue
state” is not a slur. It’s a classification - reserved for regimes that defy
international law, sponsor terrorism, brutalize their populations, and
pursue goals through violence and intimidation.
IRGC
fits this description with precision.
It shelters terrorists and supplies them with deadly technology. It tramples
human rights, especially women’s rights and it executes protesters. It funds
wars, foments instability, and seeks to rewrite the map of the Middle East -
not through diplomacy, but destruction. And while many Iranians long for
freedom, their voices are silenced - not by foreign enemies, but by their
own government.
Brothers and sisters, this war is not a conflict of equal grievances. This
is the story of a regime that has made the annihilation of Israel a national
mission and the oppression of its own people a daily policy. The world needs
to recognize this for what it is: a regime that is dangerous not just to
Israel, but to its region, to its citizens, and to any reasonable society
that values human dignity and peace.
Thankfully, by Divine Providence, the dark plan of the Ayatollah has been
dismantled and the power of the regime has been broken. Oh, yes, there is
some bluster and hot air from opposing parties, but nothing of lasting
significance. Even as I write
IRGC is seeing its final end and
a free people are emerging in Iran. The bottom line is this: The board has
been cleared for a whole new game, and now it is a new day for the Middle
East.
The hand of God is at work, but what is He doing? Bible prophecy is being
fulfilled, and I have more about that in our live stream tonight. My theme
