As tensions erupt between Israel and Iran, Rabbi Schneider of Discovering the Jewish Jesus offers a sobering and prophetic lens on the events shaking the Middle East. Following Israel’s military strike against Iranian nuclear targets, Schneider asserts this is not just a political flashpoint—“this is the fulfillment of prophecy.”
In a recent livestream, Schneider warns viewers that what’s unfolding is the result of a decades-long escalation. “Iran has crossed every single red line,” he says, referring to their nuclear ambitions, secret sites exposed from 2002 to 2009, and uranium enrichment beyond peaceful limits between 2006 and 2010.

According to Schneider, the time has finally come. “The US and Israel have been making threats against Iran for many years… but today, friends, Israel has struck.” He believes this action signals a divine turning point. “I want to say publicly that I could not be more proud of our President Donald Trump,” Schneider added, highlighting a recent message Trump posted on Truth Social, saying: “Two months ago I gave Iran a 60-day ultimatum to make a deal… today is day 61.”
But Rabbi Schneider’s focus isn’t on politics—it’s prophetic fulfillment. He revisits a word he shared publicly on July 7, 2023, months before the Hamas-Israel war and the current crisis. “I opened the Scriptures at random… I turned to the book of Esther. The Jews had been given victory over their enemies. When I read that, bam!—it was like a bomb of the Holy Spirit went off in my mind,” he recalls. The Lord spoke to him then, saying: “This is what’s coming next.”
The message? Just as in Esther’s time, ancient Persia plotted to destroy the Jewish people, so too does modern-day Persia, known today as Iran, plot against Israel. Schneider explains, “Persia is one of the only ancient names in Scripture that we know exactly who it refers to. Persia is Iran.”
He draws heavily from Ezekiel 38, where the prophet warns of Persia and other nations aligning against Israel in the end times: “In the latter years, you will come into the land… Persia, Ethiopia and Libya are with them… you will come like a storm, covering the land like a cloud.”
But perhaps the most striking part of Schneider’s message is his warning that this conflict will ignite global anti-Semitism: “The world is going to start pinpointing scriptures… and use them to foster and booster anti-Semitism. I believe even worse than it was in the time of Nazi Germany.”
Despite the looming chaos, Schneider offers hope and an urgent call to repentance. “God will forever stand with Israel,” he declares. “This was prophesied… it’s a sign that Jesus is getting ready to return.”

In closing, Schneider exhorts: “Pray for Israel. Pray for those living in Iran… and pray for yourself. Understanding end times is not enough—repent and get right with God.”
As nations clash, Schneider reminds viewers that prophecy is not just about headlines—it’s a call to prepare our hearts.
