In final of the quarter of 2023, The Trends Journal reported that Israel saw roughly a 20% drop in gross-domestic product (GDP), which has been attributed to around 300,000 reservists called to serve rather than work typical white and blue collar jobs.
Their economy also contracted by 5.2% on a quarter-by-quarter basis.
Another factor to this is because since their war began on October 7th, Israel has banned all workers traveling from Gaza, which has particularly harmed their construction industry. Around 150,000 workers from Gaza from the West Bank work inside Israel.
‘About 120,000 Israelis have also been evacuated from the north and south of the country and have been living in government-sponsored housing, which has been a drag on the economy,’ The TJ reported.
Last month management firm Moody’s downgraded Israel’s credit rating, which Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his cabinet blasted, saying it is politically driven. Netanyahu claims the rating will go back up “the moment we win the war—and we will win the war.”
TRENDPOST: Israel’s Finance Ministry said that the war will likely cost Israel about $13.8 billion in 2024, which works out well for Netanyahu because the pro-Zionist U.S. Congress wants to pass a supplemental package that would gift Israel over $14 billion. So the U.S. would essentially pay for Israel’s war, and throw in another billion for the trouble.

AUTHOR COMMENTARY
Israel’s war is not going to end well for them. I said this fairly early on during this conflict, if you recall, to the chagrin of many who blindly support things out of ignorance for all the wrong reasons.
Remember that military group that forecast a 70% die-off in the American population by 2025? Well, they also forecast that Israel’s population will be cut in half (52%); their GDP will see an 80% drop, their military expenditures will cascade by 91%, and their purchasing power parity (PPP) will sink by 67%.
My friends, Israel is going to have a time of it coming up and they will be punished greatly. This war they are waging, the tactics and cruelty the likes of which Netanyahu and the IDF are using, will not end well, I can assure you of it. Furthermore, the U.S. is responsible for funding Israel annually. Well, what do you suppose is going to happen when the American collapses and the money spicket runs dry, and Israel is surrounded by countries and people who feverishly want them annihilated?

[1] When I would have healed Israel, then the iniquity of Ephraim was discovered, and the wickedness of Samaria: for they commit falsehood; and the thief cometh in, and the troop of robbers spoileth without. [2] And they consider not in their hearts that I remember all their wickedness: now their own doings have beset them about; they are before my face. [3] They make the king glad with their wickedness, and the princes with their lies. Hosea 7:1-3
I reckon a LOT of death and ruin is coming to Israel well before the time of Jacob’s trouble occurs (Jeremiah 30), for which a remnant of Israel will be saved out of it – as ‘remnant, according to the Webster’s 1828 Dictionary says, “Residue; that which is left after the separation, removal or destruction of a part.” So, anyone who teaches the replacement theology lie from the pits of Rome needs to be rebuked and ashamed, because they are lying about the word of God (Romans 11).
[22] For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled. [23] But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people. [24] And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled. Luke21:22-24 – the nation of Israel during the time of Jacob’s trouble
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

I believe World War III will start long before we’re caught up, which will be good because that means the catching up and our redemption will draw closer.
And the United States will be one of the theaters of operation, especially when the right get ignited and put in power and it’s Nazi Germany on steroids. The Antichrist system will be alt-right, communism and socialism are going to be abolished and rejected because they’re failures.
I’m looking forward to war coming to America, and unlike the unjust atrocity called the “Iraq war” America will NOT be spared. While over a million innocent Iraqi men, women, and children were being murdered and tortured, terrorized by drone strikes, and their property, businesses, and lives destroyed…America was having fun in the sun, watching their bread and circus NFL distractions, going to their church buildings and falsely proclaiming to be christians, and living in their illusions and delusions without one care or concern about the truth…not this time and never again.
I also look forward to being part of the Bride of Christ, and all my true brothers and sisters including you Jacob, Bryan, Katherine, Oliver, Scotty, Heather, Daniel, and all the rest, we’re getting ready for a wedding while the world is getting ready for a war.
True. Just wait until the main battle of WWIII is about to commence. I think that when all the armies are gathered in Israel to strike against him, there’s a good chance that the great catching up can happen before the first bullet and missle is fired.
If ya think it’s bad now in Israel; ya ain’t seen nothing at all like what’s a coming. The rest of the world is not going to skate by ether.
7 vials are what is scripted by the Bible…
Luke 21:24 And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.
Isn’t ‘the times of the Gentiles’ fulfilled with the resurrection before the Time of Jacob’s Trouble?
