Islamic Eschatology and Global Power Shifts

Overview

This video provides an initial analysis of Israel's ongoing attacks on Iran, interpreting recent events through the lens of Islamic eschatology and discussing their global and historical implications, especially concerning shifts in international power.

Context and Personal Update

• The speaker is currently ill and preparing to travel to Jambar, Indonesia, for a two-week stay.
• Morning and afternoon sessions will be held in Jambar after a short period of rest.
• The analysis is introductory, with more detailed commentary to follow as the situation develops.

Eschatological and Historical Perspective

• Islamic eschatology is often overlooked by mainstream Islamic scholarship but attracts global interest.
• The current conflict marks a historic transition, signaling the decline of Pax Americana and the rise of Pax Judaica.
• The speaker previously outlined a three-stage historical process: Pax Britannica → Pax Americana → Pax Judaica.
• Pax Judaica is characterized by Israel's intent to act as a global ruling state, aiming for a Messiah to declare dominance from Jerusalem.
• This perspective was described in the speaker's book "Jerusalem in the Quran," published 25 years ago.

Analysis of the Israeli Attack on Iran

• Israel’s attacks targeted Iranian missile, nuclear, and military facilities, assassinating top Iranian military and nuclear figures.
• The attack publicly asserts Israel's disregard for international law, including the UN Charter.
• The act signals Israel’s intent to replace the US as the world’s leading state, implying a new world order.

Regional and Strategic Implications

• Iran's immediate military response has been limited to missile strikes.
• Nuclear-armed Pakistan has remained publicly silent, raising questions about regional alliances.
• The possibility of a connection between recent terrorism in Kashmir, Indian military actions, and Israel's attack on Iran is raised, with India potentially acting as a strategic ally to Israel.
• Israeli military success was facilitated by previous actions in Syria and Iraq, particularly the weakening of Syrian air defenses.

Implications for Global Order

• The movement from Pax Britannica to Pax Americana, and now to Pax Judaica, was anticipated in the speaker’s prior work.
• Israel’s ascendancy suggests that Jerusalem will increasingly dominate global affairs, with Washington, London, and the EU yielding influence.
• The survival of the United Nations under Pax Judaica is questioned.
• Iran’s lack of a nuclear deterrent made it vulnerable; having nuclear capability might have prevented the attack.

Recommendations / Advice

• The Quran mandates developing power as a deterrent (citing verse 60); Iran should reconsider its religious opposition to nuclear weapons.
• It is suggested that Iranian public opinion may push Iran to exit the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and pursue nuclear armament, potentially in alliance with Russia.
• If Iran achieves nuclear deterrence with Russian support, it could significantly alter the balance of power and have serious consequences for Israel.
