Israeli security officials have arrested four young men from East Jerusalem’s Beit Safafa neighborhood after uncovering an ISIS-inspired plot to carry out a large-scale attack against Jewish Israelis. According to the Shin Bet, the group had been under surveillance for weeks as investigators observed them consuming Islamic State propaganda, adopting its apocalyptic worldview, and openly discussing their desire to initiate what they called a “great war of the end of days.” During the raid, authorities discovered a handgun hidden inside a chicken coop along with additional equipment believed to be intended for future terror activity. One suspect admitted the weapon would be used “against Jews or anyone who is not a Muslim.” Prosecutors are preparing charges as interrogations continue.

A separate investigation revealed an 18-year-old Israeli citizen studying explosive-making techniques and exploring ISIS-inspired attack plans—further evidence of a troubling trend: decentralized radicalization fueled by online jihadist content. This pattern reflects exactly what Scripture warns about the last days—a rise in lawlessness, hatred, and demonic deception that drives individuals toward violence in the name of warped “prophecy” (Matthew 24:12; 1 Timothy 4:1). While ISIS dreams of igniting its own version of an end-times war, the true prophetic timeline belongs to the God of Israel, not to murderous extremists. These failed plots serve as a reminder that spiritual warfare is intensifying in the very land Scripture calls the epicenter of the last days.
