The new head of the Conservative Friends of Israel lambasts the Labour party's handling of the US-Israel conflict with Iran, as antisemitism in Britain reaches 'appalling' levels The post Iran ‘is our war,’ says UK lawmaker Greg Smith — contrary to PM Starmer’s claims appeared first on The Times of Israel.
Iran (ancient Persia) is explicitly named in Ezekiel 38:5 as part of the Gog/Magog coalition that invades Israel in the latter years. A UK lawmaker declaring Iran 'is our war' and discussing the US-Israel conflict with Iran aligns thematically with the prophesied Persian involvement in end-times Middle Eastern conflict.
The headline reflects escalating international tensions and potential military involvement, which corresponds to the prophetic pattern of 'wars and rumors of wars' and 'nation rising against nation' that characterizes the end times. The UK's positioning regarding Iran represents the kind of geopolitical instability described in this prophecy.
The mention of antisemitism reaching 'appalling' levels in Britain connects to the broader prophetic theme of persecution against God's people. While not specifically about tribulation-era martyrdom, it reflects the escalating hostility toward Jewish people that prophecy indicates will intensify in the end times.
