Biblical Prophecies and the Engineering of Conflict: A Reading into the Dimensions of Contemporary Escalation

Whoever contemplates the acceleration of events in our region realizes that we are not facing a passing political conflict, but rather diligent attempts to adapt the geopolitical reality to conform to ancient prophecies. The far-right and the Christian Evangelical right seek to hasten what they believe are the precursors to building the alleged Temple.
Current movements are based on a Biblical vision that links the building of the Temple to the breaking of regional powers and the appearance of what is known as the Red Heifer to purify the priests. The Christian right in America believes that changing the face of the Middle East is a preparation for what they call the Millennial Kingdom, as stated by American political figures on several occasions, considering the region to be on the cusp of a radical change lasting a thousand years.
Given the prolonged duration of the war and the failure to achieve the set goals quickly, the occupation finds itself facing choices, the best of which are bitter, ranging between:
Attempting to involve major powers in a direct nuclear confrontation.
Expanding the scope of the war to include the entire region.
Directly targeting Al-Aqsa Mosque to hasten the construction of the Temple, while attempting to pin the blame on external parties.
Theological readings of these groups indicate an acceptance of the idea of sacrificing large numbers of humans to fulfill prophecy, based on texts from the books of Zechariah and Ezekiel regarding the alliance of Gog and Magog. We are facing systems and armies creating what could be called a manufactured Industrial Armageddon to impose a specific religious reality.
In the midst of these crashing waves, the duty of the Muslim is summarized in core points:
Awareness of the nature of the conflict and that it is a theological conflict in the first place.
Certainty that Allah, Glory be to Him, is the Sustainer and Disposer of this universe, and nothing happens in His kingdom except what He wills.
A sincere return to supporting the religion through action, da'wah, and repentance.
Strengthening the status of Al-Aqsa Mosque in the souls as the first Qibla of the Muslims.
...and to enter the Mosque as they entered it the first time, and to destroy what they took over with [utter] destruction.
Certainty in the end of corruption is part of our creed, which drives us to diligent work, spreading awareness, and adhering to the truth.
