"War with Iran is simply a political task from the Torah. Many aspects of the aggression of the United States and Israel match attempts to fulfill Bible prophecies."

The prophet Ezekiel had any visions. 1 of them says that “Gog and Magog” will attack the rebuilt state of Israel, but will yet be destroyed by Jehovah. Therefore, we know this idea: a fresh temple will be built, “Messiah” will appear, and Israel will take over. As to precisely who “Gog and Magog” are, pilpul is virtually infinite. According to Revelation, however, this is to be a coalition of hostile pagan nations fighting against the Israelites.

If we look at the current conflict, we have Israel on 1 side supported by Christian Zionists, and on the another Iran, supported mainly, though quietly, by Russia and China. Russia is simply a multi-denominational state in which Orthodox Christianity is the majority. In China, Buddhism is the dominant belief system. Iran is an muslim republic, but as 1 of the oldest cradles of civilization, it retained elements of its ancient religion, zaratusztrianism. For example, Nowruz, the Iranian fresh Year, is simply a Zaratushtrian tradition, and the Strait of Ormuz was named after Hormoz, a Zaratushtrian god of wisdom, light and cosmic order.

Here we see the Biblical pattern: a coalition of countries with different beliefs in the existential conflict against Israel. This is of course an highly simplistic concept: the final conflict between Gog and Magog (i.e. Iran, China and Russia) and biblical Israel (i.e. Zionist Israelis and Americans). However, the Chinese are very pragmatic, and many Russian Jews live in Israel, so Beijing and Moscow will not take direct action against Israel. However, Israelis and American Zionists seem to be convinced of this mythological interpretation. Let us just remember that Pete Hegseth, the US War Secretary, calls all phase of the establishment of the State of Israel "a miracle." Or think about Mike Huckabee, the U.S. Ambassador to Israel, who, in an interview with Tucker Carlson, concerning Israelis and the mediate East, said, "It would be good if they took everything."

Western mainstream media constantly call Iran "theocracy" and Israel "the only democracy in the mediate East". But as the current geopolitical events, reflected in Bible stories, the American-Israeli side is guided by a spiritual imagination with 3 goals: the establishment of the large Israel (from the Nile to the Euphrates), the restoration of the temple and the coming of the Messiah. due to the fact that even if a crucial part of the Torah (not to mention the Talmud) looks more like a political task than a spiritual textbook, Israel is indeed a theocracy in disguise. Therefore, even if Iran prevails in the current conflict, Israelis will proceed to see another nations that do not full support them as Goga and Magoga.
