The War Between Iran and Israel: Foretold by Enoch
The headlines coming out of the Middle East may be new—but the prophecy is ancient.
“In those days the [fallen] angels shall assemble together, and turn their heads toward the East among the Parthians and Medes [Iran], to stir up the kings, so that a spirit of unrest shall come upon them…
And they shall go up and trample the land of My chosen ones, and the land of My chosen ones shall become before them a threshing-floor and a trampled ground.”
—1 Enoch 56:5–6 (restored translation)
This prophecy is no longer theory. It is current events.
- On October 7, 2023, Iran-backed Hamas launched a brutal invasion into southern Israel, killing over a thousand civilians.
- Israel responded with a full-scale war in Gaza and strikes in Syria and Lebanon—then in April 2024, Iran itself launched missiles directly at Israel for the first time in history.
- Today, Israel and Iran are at war, and the surrounding region is convulsed by proxy armies and spiritual chaos.
The Book of Enoch foresaw this war. It foresaw Iran (the Medes and Parthians of old) being stirred up by demonic forces. It foresaw the leaders being agitated and removed. It foresaw the trampling of Eretz Yisrael, the Land of the Chosen Ones.
Enoch warned that the final conflicts of this world would be driven by unseen principalities—the very same fallen angels who corrupted mankind before the flood.
We are not merely living in history. We are living in prophecy.
Enoch and the Prophecy of Abortion
War is not the only sign of apostasy in the last days. The Book of Enoch also gives a haunting picture of modern abortion culture, describing it with disturbing precision:
“And in those days, women shall abort their children and cast them away;
And their offspring shall slip from them, and they shall cast their infants out while still suckling,
And they shall not return to them nor have compassion on them.”
—1 Enoch 99:5 (restored translation)
This is one of the clearest prophetic descriptions of abortion in ancient literature.
- “Abort their children” — a direct reference to intentional termination of pregnancy
- “Cast them away while still suckling” — a chilling foreshadowing of late-term abortion and infanticide
- “They shall neither return to them nor pity them” — the normalization of emotional detachment and legal justification
This prophecy was written more than thousands of years ago, yet it describes our generation more accurately than most contemporary pundits ever could.
YHWH is not silent. The blood of millions cries out from the ground, just as the cries of the earth cried out in Enoch’s day before the flood (1 Enoch 8:4).
“Woe to those who commit iniquity and write it down:
They shall be cast into the furnace of fire…
For they destroy the seed of men,
And by their lies they lead many to ruin.”
—1 Enoch 99:2, 7
We must call this what it is: a sign of the times. And we must respond with the restoration of truth, Torah, and Scripture.
The Restoration of Scripture: The Scrolls Are Speaking Again
Enoch prophesied not only judgment, but restoration—a time when books long hidden would once again be brought to light:
“Then books will be given to the righteous and the wise…
And they shall believe in them and rejoice in them…
And all the righteous who have learned from them shall be rewarded.”
—1 Enoch 104:12–13
We are in that time now.
The scrolls have been unsealed, and their restoration is part of the greater prophetic awakening happening in these last days.
You’ve likely heard the lie that the New Testament was written in Greek. But that’s only part of the story. In truth:
- The original followers of Yeshua spoke Hebrew and Aramaic.
- The Old Syriac Gospels and DuTillet Hebrew Matthew preserve traces of that original Semitic text.
- The suppression of the Book of Enoch parallels the suppression of the original Hebrew New Testament, the Gospel according to the Hebrews, and other early Jewish writings.
Today, we are working to restore the original:
- The Hebrew and Aramaic New Testament, including literal reconstructions of Semitic originals behind the Greek Gospels, Acts, Epistles, and Revelation (See my new book Unveiling the Hebrew and Aramaic Origins of the New Testament)
- Lost Books like Enoch, The Gospel according to the Hebrews and the Apocrypha—texts read and respected by the early Nazarenes and quoted in the New Testament itself
This is not simply about ancient texts. This is about recovering the authentic voice of Yeshua and the Prophets.
