It’s difficult for me to believe that another year has come to an end. 2024 was a year full of surprises. Iran’s historic ballistic missile attack on Israel, President Trump’s re-election, Israel’s success over Iran’s terror proxies, and Assad’s sudden departure for Russia made this a year filled with stunning twists.
That being said, I want to help us turn the page on 2024 and look ahead to key developing stories for 2025 that I believe carry remarkable prophetic significance.
Game of Drones
The “game of drones” all began November 18 with perplexing mystery drones appearing in the sky over New Jersey and New York. The sightings of these drones have now expanded to include Connecticut and California. While there has been a considerable level of speculation, there has not been any conclusive statements about what they are and who they are being operated by.
Earlier this month, an article detailed that “many of the reports [were] initially clustered in New Jersey’s Morris County.”
“Strange objects were seen apparently maneuvering over major waterways, municipal reservoirs, and even sensitive military facilities such as the U.S. Army’s Picatinny Arsenal,” the report noted. “The sightings have come amid fresh reports of alarming drone activity elsewhere, including at four military bases in the U.K. that are used by the U.S. in recent weeks and around Langley Air Force Base in Virginia in December 2023.”
A Wall Street Journal headline stated: “Mystery Drones Swarmed a U.S. Military Base for 17 Days. The Pentagon Is Stumped.”
Many insist these aren’t hobbyist drones, as the smallest ones are at least six feet in length, and some appear to be the size of a small car or bus. There is a great deal of speculation about these drones hailing from foreign enemies. I heard one say these are simply satellites, airplanes, or helicopters. However, it would be very easy for our government to come out and label them as such. Instead, they seem to be shrouded in secrecy. Numerous individuals believe it could be part of a US military dark program, though this isn’t how the US usually rolls out dark program technology.
The Government Accountability Office (GAO) has a publication from September of 2023 in which they shined a spotlight on what’s called “Drone Swarm Technologies.”
“Drone swarm technologies coordinate at least three and up to thousands of drones to perform missions cooperatively with limited need for human attention and control,” the report detailed.
If you have ever seen the “Terminator” movies, this is like Skynet in that they’re all communicating with each other and don’t really need human attention. Drones are being used extensively in the Russia-Ukraine war. Drones have altered warfare forever, and there’s been no advancement as dramatic in decades.
Whatever the outcome of these objects in the skies over the US might be, AI and drone weapons systems are going to continue in the days ahead to create panic and fear in our world as they proliferate.
We can be sure that, ultimately, drones are going to be used by the Antichrist to gain and keep a hold on global control (Revelation 13:16-18). Think of how drone swarm technology married to AI can be employed by a global despot like the Antichrist to strike and surveil people all over the earth. Imagine a world in which the skies are filled with drones.
It’s truly apocalyptic, and this technology is only going to continue to expand exponentially. I know this is going to be a major story in 2025 and beyond.
Israel vs Iran
The second forecast for 2025 involves the nation of Israel. I believe 2025 will be a year of increased strength and momentum for Israel. The enemies of Israel are all on the run. This is unlike anything in Israel’s modern history. Iran’s far-reaching tentacles have been cut, leaving Tehran isolated and desperate, while Israel now is emboldened and energized. An emboldened Israel may even follow through on its years-long desire to knock out Iran’s nuclear sites.
The collapse of the Assad regime has allowed Israel to carry out precision airstrikes in Syria 480 times, knocking out strategic weapons stockpiles, places where they believed chemical weapons were being stored, as well as air and naval military assets. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called this a dramatic new chapter.
“The collapse of the Syrian regime is a direct result of the severe blows with which we have struck Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran,” Netanyahu stated. “The axis has not yet disappeared but as I promised – we are changing the face of the Middle East.”
I believe this stunning change will continue. The Times of Israel has a recent article entitled, “IDF sees chance for strikes on Iran nuke sites after knocking out Syria air defenses.”
Israel now has complete air superiority over the nation of Syria, the Times of Israel highlighted. “the IAF said that after over a decade of evading air defenses over the skies of Syria during a campaign against Iran’s supply of weapons to Hezbollah, it had achieved total air superiority in the area.”
“This air superiority over Syria could enable safer passage for IAF aircraft to carry out a strike on Iran,” the report explained.
We know that, in the coming year, Israel is going to advance and exert its power against its near enemies—Gaza, Syria, Lebanon, and likely, even in a greater way, Iran. Iran is going to escalate its pursuit of nuclear weapons. That’s the only deterrent they have left. But that “deterrent” may open them up to a major assault by Israel, possibly aided by the Trump Administration in the United States.
