Are We in the End Times? Two Biblical Signs That Seem to Be Coming True

With the recent U.S. airstrikes on Iran making headlines around the world, many people—especially those familiar with the Bible—are wondering: Could this be a sign of the End Times?

While no one can say for certain, two specific biblical prophecies seem more relevant than ever. Let’s take a look at what’s happening and why some believe these events match key “End of Days” signs from the Bible.

1. Iran as “Persia” in Bible Prophecy

In the Book of Ezekiel (chapters 38 and 39), there’s a prophecy about a future alliance of nations that attacks Israel. One of the main players in this alliance is “Persia,” which is the ancient name for modern-day Iran.

Here’s where things get interesting:

On June 22, 2025, the U.S. launched a massive airstrike on Iran, targeting nuclear facilities like Fordow and Natanz.
The operation, called “Midnight Hammer,” used over 145 aircraft and advanced bunker-busting bombs.
Many believe Iran’s recent threats and actions against Israel—and its partnerships with Russia and China—look a lot like the alliance Ezekiel warned about.

While it doesn’t mean the prophecy has officially begun, it’s enough to make some people pause and wonder: Are we seeing the early stages?

2. Israel’s Growing Isolation — Just Like in Zechariah and Daniel

Another common theme in biblical prophecy is that Israel will stand alone in the last days.

Zechariah 14 talks about a time when all nations will turn against Jerusalem.
Daniel 11 describes major powers from the north and south clashing, with Israel caught in the middle.

Right now, that seems closer to reality than ever:

While the U.S. continues to support Israel, many other countries are becoming more critical.
After the airstrikes, some long-time allies expressed concern—or even condemnation—of both Israel’s and America’s actions.
Iran’s influence is spreading, especially through groups in Lebanon, Syria, and Gaza.

This shifting world opinion may be exactly what the Bible described: a time when Israel stands alone, facing intense pressure.

What’s Happening Now? A Quick Recap

Here’s what’s gone down in just the past few days:

June 22: The U.S. launches major airstrikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities.
June 23: Iran fires missiles at a U.S. base in Qatar. Most were intercepted.
A ceasefire was quickly announced, but both sides accuse each other of breaking it.
As of June 24, tensions remain high, and the world is watching closely.

So… Is This the End?

That’s the big question. And the short answer is: not necessarily.

Many Christian leaders say that these events could be signs—but they also remind us not to panic. According to Pastor Greg Laurie and others:

“Prophecy is not meant to scare us—it’s meant to prepare us.”

In other words, these things might be happening for a reason. They’re reminders to stay spiritually alert, focus on what matters, and live with hope instead of fear.

Final Thoughts: Watch, Pray, Stay Ready

These two signs from the Bible—the rise of Iran (Persia) and Israel’s growing isolation—are enough to make many believers pay closer attention. Whether or not we’re living in the final days, the message is clear:
