The world is shifting, and fast.
A horrifying terror attack in Boulder, Colorado, targeting elderly pro-Israel demonstrators, is not just another act of violence. It is a prophetic warning. And if the church is not grounded in Scripture right now, it risks being swept up in the delusion foretold for the last days.
A group of senior citizens in downtown Boulder, part of the “Run for Their Lives” initiative, had gathered peacefully to raise awareness for Israeli hostages still held by Hamas. These men and women, aged between 52 and 88, were praying and standing in solidarity with Israel.
Then came the attack.

An Egyptian national named Muhammad Sabri Solomon, reportedly in the United States illegally, ambushed the crowd with a homemade flamethrower and Molotov cocktails, all while screaming, “Free Palestine.” One woman was set ablaze. Eight people were hospitalized.
This was not protest, it was terrorism.
A group of elderly people were firebombed on American soil for supporting Israel. And what was the national response? Much of the mainstream media buried the story. Why? Because this doesn’t fit their narrative. But it does fit God’s narrative.

The spiritual blindness of our culture is staggering. But Scripture foresaw this. Zechariah 12:3 proclaims, “I will set Jerusalem as a weighty stone to all the peoples. All who carry it will surely gash themselves, and all the nations of the land will be gathered against it.”
Revelation 12 shows us Satan’s fury redirected at Israel after failing to stop the Messiah. From Gaza to Boulder, this isn’t just geopolitics, it’s a spiritual war breaking through into the natural.
This isn’t hyperbole. This is prophecy unfolding in real time.
President Donald Trump condemned the Boulder attack in no uncertain terms, a critical stance for a nation that still has some measure of blessing because of its historic support of Israel.
But we must ask: What happens when the next president does not? The Bible warns what comes to those who curse what God has blessed (Gen. 12:3).
And yet, in this darkness, God is moving.
“As surely as the Lord lives, I will restore them to the land I gave their ancestors,” says Jeremiah 16:15. The hatred we see rising is helping to fulfill this promise. It’s pushing the Jewish people back to the land of Israel in a prophetic aliyah that prepares the way for the final chapters of human history.
Watchmen on the wall, take heed. Jonathan Cahn and other prophetic voices have long warned us to watch Israel, and especially the Temple Mount. It is “the epicenter of the final conflict between light and darkness,” and the place to which Christ will return.

We must pray. “Pray for the peace of Jerusalem,” says Psalm 122:6. And we must not be silent. Isaiah 62:6-7 commands us to “give Him no rest until He establishes and makes Jerusalem a glory in the earth.” This is about obedience—not to politics—but to the covenant God made with His people.
We are not waiting for prophecy to begin. We are living inside it.
So church, be watchful. Be faithful. And be counted among those who bless what God has blessed.
