Wow! Loved this article and the detail and research! It fills in some of the blanks for me on Pahlavi, the hold-up of intervention by the US. I’ve watched Bill Salus with Tom Hughes and Mondo Gonzales and your take according to the Scriptural account helps broaden my understanding. Thank you for your summary of this on- going problem! Gives me more to consider during this period of time we’re experiencing!!
10 “‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: On that day thoughts will come into your mind and you will devise an evil scheme. 11 You will say, “I will invade a land of unwalled villages; I will attack a peaceful and unsuspecting people—all of them living without walls and without gates and bars.

At the present time -
Israel is not an unsuspecting people, nor an unwalled village, living in peace without gates or walled defensive stance..
For your consideration: Some scholars propose that "unwalled villages" is symbolic of a state of perceived security or confidence. They note that Ezekiel 38:11 describes Israel as "dwelling securely," which could mean a sense of safety rather than an absence of physical walls. Modern Israel, despite its defenses, might feel secure due to military strength or alliances, fulfilling this condition in a relative sense.
Alternatively, the term could reflect a historical context where settlements lack traditional Biblical city walls, as most modern towns do compared to ancient fortified cities. This view sees the prophecy as applicable to the modern era, where physical walls are less common globally.
Also listened to Days of Noah revisited, so timely ! Thank you , blessings to you and your family. 🙏
