The Sound of Judgment Day: The Possibility of War with Israel
Netanyahu’s War Policy and the Future of Israel
We will later address the mistake made by Trump during his tenure, when he recognised the first Qibla (Al-Aqsa Mosque) as the capital of Israel. But first, let’s take a glance into the pages of history.
According to Jewish belief, this phase of the world lasts 6,000 years. The Jewish historical calendar attempts to calculate the number of years since the creation of the world, based on the biblical narrative of creation and the stories that follow. The current Hebrew year began on 2nd October 2024 and will end at sunset on 22nd September 2025. According to the Jewish calendar (Torah), their sacred text, the Talmud, has marked the completion of 5,785 years. Based on this belief, only 215 years remain until the end of the world. The Jews believe the world will be completely annihilated in 215 years. Before the Day of Judgment, they have two main tasks: finding the Ark of the Covenant and reconstructing the Temple of Solomon.
This story begins with the Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham). He lived with Prophet Ismail (Ishmael) in Makkah for forty years, where they built the Kaaba. Prophet Ibrahim then returned to Palestine and constructed the second house of God, Bait-ul-Maqdis (Al-Aqsa Mosque). There was a 40-year gap between the construction of the Kaaba and Al-Aqsa. Prophet Ibrahim passed away in Palestine, and his tomb is located in the suburbs of Jerusalem, in an area named Hebron or Al-Khalil after him. The tombs of Prophet Isaac and Prophet Jacob are also found beside Prophet Ibrahim’s. The children of Israel, or Bani Israel, are the descendants of Prophet Jacob. They were struck by famine and migrated to Egypt, where they were enslaved by Pharaoh. After enduring centuries of humiliation, they returned to Palestine 3,300 years ago under the leadership of Prophet Moses.
Prophet Dawood (David) conquered Jerusalem around 1,000 BCE and declared it the capital of his kingdom, known as the Kingdom of David. He began the construction of a great Jewish temple on the foundations of Al-Aqsa, a project that was completed by his son, Prophet Sulaiman (Solomon). Prophet Sulaiman possessed the Ark of the Covenant, which contained the two stone tablets inscribed with the Ten Commandments that God had revealed to Prophet Moses on Mount Sinai. The Ark also held Prophet Aaron’s staff and the container from which manna and quail were miraculously provided. Prophet Sulaiman hid this Ark within the foundations of the temple. He also dealt with powerful sorcerers of his time, executing them on God’s command and burying their magic scrolls beneath the temple in caves.
The Jews refer to this temple as Solomon’s Temple, or the Temple of Solomon. It was destroyed in 586 BCE by the Babylonian king Nebuchadnezzar, although he left its outer wall intact. Jews call this wall “Kotel” while Muslims refer to it as the “Wailing Wall.” Jews believe that Prophet Sulaiman hid the Ark of the Covenant and the magic scrolls in the caves beneath the temple, and they have been excavating beneath Al-Aqsa for 3,000 years in search of them. They also plan to demolish Al-Aqsa to expand the Temple of Solomon over the entire area. Why? We will address this later. First, let’s discuss the significance of Al-Aqsa for Muslims.
Until 11th February 624, Al-Aqsa was the first Qibla for Muslims. On the 27th night of the month of Rajab in the 10th year of prophethood, the event of Isra and Miraj took place. Allah took the Holy Prophet ﷺ from Makkah to Jerusalem, where he led the prophets in prayer at the first Qibla. He then ascended to the heavens from the courtyard of Al-Aqsa, riding the Buraq. A rock, seven feet long, forty feet wide, and six feet high, still exists at the spot where the Prophet ﷺ ascended. This rock began to rise with him, but the Angel Jibreel (Gabriel) placed his hand on it, attaching it back to the earth. The mark of Angel Jibreel’s hand remains on the rock to this day. In 691 CE, Umayyad Caliph Abdul Malik built a golden dome around this rock, known in Arabic as “Qubbat al-Sakhrah” and in English as the “Dome of the Rock.” This was the first structure built by Muslims outside of Arabia and today is one of Jerusalem’s most iconic landmarks.
However, the golden dome is not the first Qibla. The actual Al-Aqsa mosque is located in a basement not far from the golden structure, accessible via stairs. Eight hundred years ago, Sultan Salahuddin Ayyubi expanded the mosque, an extension known today as “New Aqsa.” The Jews also aim to demolish both the golden structure and the New Aqsa, as they believe the Temple of Solomon should encompass the entire area of Al-Aqsa.
According to the beliefs of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, the Antichrist (Dajjal) will appear before the Day of Judgment. Jews refer to him as the Messiah, while Christians call him the Antichrist. He will appear after the reconstruction of Solomon’s Temple. All Jews from around the world will gather in Israel, and the Antichrist will declare Israel the “Kingdom of David” and begin to conquer the world. He will destroy the entire Christian and Muslim world, waging a war that will last forty to fifty years, reducing the world to rubble. Eventually, in the ancient city of Damascus, Imam Mahdi will appear. Before Fajr (dawn) prayer, Prophet Isa (Jesus) will descend from the white minaret of the Umayyad Mosque and pray behind Imam Mahdi.
Together, they will fight against the Antichrist. This battle, known as “Armageddon “, by the Jews, will see the Muslims victorious. After the conquests, an Islamic state will be established.
Prophet Isa will live for 45 years and then pass away, and he will be buried beside the Holy Prophet ﷺ. After his time, the rule of a figure named Muq’add will come, and thirty years after his death, the Quran will be lifted from people’s hearts. This will mark the beginning of the signs of the Day of Judgment. According to Jewish beliefs, the Antichrist will win this war, after which the Mount of Olives in the outskirts of Jerusalem will split in two. This will be the first sign of the apocalypse. Jews consider it an honour to be buried on this mountain.
Jews pray three times a day in their synagogues for the arrival of the Antichrist, a prayer known as “Shmoneh Esreh.” Jerusalem holds great significance for Jews, Christians, and Muslims alike, as it is the city of the prophets. For 13 years, Muslims prayed facing Jerusalem. This city was conquered during the caliphate of Umar ibn al-Khattab and remained under Muslim control for centuries. The golden dome of the Dome of the Rock still stands today as a symbol of Muslim presence. Jerusalem is also one of the most important signs of the Day of Judgement. The rock that ascended with the Prophet’s steed, Buraq, during the Night of Ascension is sacred to both Muslims and Jews. Jews refer to it as “Mount Moriah,” and believe it is the point of creation. According to Jewish tradition, Prophet Abraham laid his son Isaac (whereas Muslims believe it was Ishmael) for sacrifice on this very rock.
In the next thirty years, Jews plan to demolish Al-Aqsa Mosque, the New Al-Aqsa, and the golden Dome of the Rock. This will lead to a confrontation with Muslims, the emergence of the Antichrist, and the start of a global war. The Antichrist will reach as far as Mount Uhud, and Mount of Olives will split into two, signalling the arrival of the Day of Judgement. Muslims agree with Jews up to the appearance of the Antichrist, but we believe in the eventual dominance of Islam and Muslims.
Now, let’s turn to Donald Trump’s folly.
The world currently teeters between two terrifying threats. The stockpiles of destructive weapons continue to grow, and extremist governments rule in many corners of the globe. Putin, an extremist, is in power in Russia, constantly seeking an opportunity to avenge his country’s defeat at the hands of America and Europe, beginning with the Soviet Union’s withdrawal from Afghanistan and its eventual breakup into six parts—something Putin has never forgotten. The U.S. and the West view North Korea’s Kim Jong-un as a mad, fanatic ruler who has, for the first time, frightened America and Europe and reminded them of their vulnerability. Meanwhile, in India, Narendra Modi, a dangerous extremist, serves as prime minister, posing a significant threat to world peace, though he is engaged more in conspiracies due to his cowardice.
In the U.S., Donald Trump, once again, is hopeful of regaining power, competing against Kamala Harris. In his election campaign, he openly positions himself as a staunch supporter of Israel, advising Israel to destroy Iran’s nuclear facilities. Recent events following Iran’s ballistic missile attacks suggest that, with American backing, Israel might strike Iran at any moment. Israel’s Defence Minister has already warned the world media of giving Iran a “surprise” after the recent missile attack.
In response to Iran’s missile strikes, Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant, while addressing his troops, threatened Iran with a “deadly” and “shocking” retaliation, stating that Iran wouldn’t even understand what happened and how it happened. He declared that Iran would have to pay the price, and the world would witness the consequences of this attack. Gallant also warned of increasing the intensity of attacks against Hamas and Hezbollah. On Thursday, 3rd October 2024, Iran sent a message to the U.S. through Qatar, stating that the phase of “unilateral restraint” is over, and further tolerance could endanger their national security. They warned that any future attacks on Iran would elicit an “unconventional” response, which could include targeting Israeli infrastructure directly.
According to the Zionist Channel 12, the wicked Netanyahu summoned several cabinet ministers, Jewish rabbis, senior military leadership, intelligence officials, and global media coordinators to a long meeting in his office. After this session, he announced that the current war’s name would be changed from “Iron Sword” to “Armageddon,” or “The War of the End Times.” According to ancient, modern, and Islamic traditions, the war before the appearance of Imam Mahdi is named “Armageddon,” during which millions will die. This is also explicitly mentioned in the Book of Revelation, in the chapter “John’s Apocalypse,” which details the final battle.
There are reports that ISIS is regrouping in Iraq, Syria, and Afghanistan, while in Pakistan, it has already claimed responsibility for several suicide attacks. Pakistan, the world’s first nuclear Islamic state, possesses a distinguished position in missile technology. The second danger is Israel and the Jews, who believe they hear the footsteps of the Day of Judgement approaching. They pray “Shmoneh Esreh” three times daily, calling out loudly for the Antichrist. Jews believe that once their call is answered, the world will be ground between two millstones and reduced to nothing, after which the entire world will be under Jewish rule.
During Donald Trump’s presidency, his Jewish son-in-law, Jared Kushner, was assigned the role of a new “Lawrence of Arabia,” as he was also a close friend of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. The task that Jews had been unable to accomplish for the past seven decades, Trump, with the help of Kushner, acted as a mediator to normalize Israel’s relations with the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Sudan, and Morocco. Meanwhile, cooperation began in several sectors with Saudi Arabia, notably air services.
On December 6, 2017, Trump shocked the world by suddenly announcing the relocation of the U.S. embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. This move shook the entire globe, and many could foresee the destruction that might follow. At that time, I warned in my columns that the countries recognizing Israel should not assume they would escape the consequences of the Greater Israel agenda. The actions taken by Israel would eventually lead to global devastation and possibly plunge us into a third world war.
Even after 12 months of ongoing human crisis and destruction, the Israeli public remains in shock, with large-scale protests occurring frequently. Politicians openly criticize Netanyahu’s aggressive policies. Israel’s economy is facing difficulties, its tourism industry has come to a complete halt, and its diplomatic relations with the world are steadily declining. The financial institution Moody’s has forecast that Israel’s economic growth rate will shrink to 1.5% in 2024, and according to the Times of Israel, 18% of Israel’s workforce has been absent from work during the war. The same source reports that Israel is losing $269 million per day during the conflict. For these reasons, Israel now stands at a critical juncture that may determine its future. Netanyahu’s policies have led Israel to the brink of bankruptcy, though international financial institutions have yet to officially declare it. The same can be said for Israel’s main ally, the United States.
Global defense analysts are increasingly concerned that Israel may try to involve the U.S. in the region more directly, similar to the mistakes the U.S. made in Iraq and Afghanistan. However, this time, such an error could potentially open the door to a global conflict, which seems highly likely.
The Quran says:
یَسۡـَٔلُ اَیَّانَ یَوۡمُ الۡقِیٰمَۃِ ؕ﴿۶﴾ فَاِذَا بَرِقَ الۡبَصَرُۙ﴿۷﴾ وَخَسَفَ الۡقَمَرُۙ﴿۸﴾ وَجُمِعَ الشَّمۡسُ وَالۡقَمَرُۙ﴿۹﴾یَقُوۡلُ الۡاِنۡسَانُ یَوۡمَئِذٍاَیۡنَ الۡمَفَرُّ﴿ۚ۱۰﴾ کَلَّا لَا وَزَرَ﴿ؕ۱۱﴾اِلٰی رَبِّکَ یَوۡمَئِذِۣالۡمُسۡتَقَرُّ﴿ؕ۱۲﴾یُنَبَّؤُاالۡاِنۡسَانُ یَوۡمَئِذٍۭبِمَاقَدَّمَ وَاَخَّرَ﴿ؕ۱۳﴾بَلِ الۡاِنۡسَانُ عَلٰی نَفۡسِہٖ بَصِیۡرَۃٌ﴿ۙ۱۴﴾وَّلَوۡاَلۡقٰی مَعَاذِیۡرَہٗ ﴿ؕ۱۵﴾
He asks, “When is the Day of Resurrection?” So, when vision is dazzled, And the moon darkens, And the sun and the moon are joined, Man will say on that Day, “Where is the [place of] escape?” No! There is no refuge. To your Lord, that Day, is the [place of] permanence. To your Lord, that Day, is the [place of] permanence. Man will be informed that Day of what he sent ahead and kept back. Rather, man, against himself, will be a witness, Even if he presents his excuses. (Al-Qayyimah 6-15)
