This represents the first time in Israeli polling history that a non-bordering nation (Iran) is viewed as three times more threatening than an immediate neighbor (Hamas). This dramatic shift in threat perception from regional to distant powers aligns with Ezekiel's prophecy of a future conflict involving distant nations rather than border states, suggesting an unprecedented psychological preparation for such a scenario.

📰 What Happened
A new Israeli public opinion survey reveals a significant shift in threat perception among Israelis, with 50% identifying Iran as the nation's greatest security threat, while only 17% view Hamas as the primary danger. Notable is the absence of other major powers like the US, China, and Russia as perceived significant threats. This marks the first time in recent polling that an external nation has been viewed as a greater threat than regional actors by such a wide margin.
📖 Prophetic Significance
The 50% Iranian threat perception combines with three recent developments: 1) Iran's advanced nuclear enrichment reaching 60%, 2) Russia-Iran military cooperation expansion, and 3) China's increased Middle East presence. This convergence accelerates multiple prophecy threads simultaneously - the Ezekiel 38 northern coalition (Russia-Iran axis), Daniel's kings of east preparation (China), and Zechariah's international isolation of Israel. The specific 3-to-1 threat ratio between Iran and Hamas suggests Israelis are subconsciously aligning with the biblical scenario where the ultimate threat comes not from immediate neighbors but from a broader coalition.
