This marks the first time in modern history that America's massive military investment ($8T) has resulted in Islamic forces gaining more territory and influence rather than less. The unprecedented combination of Taliban control in Afghanistan, al-Qaeda in Syria, and pro-Hamas Congressional power represents a complete reversal of U.S. post-9/11 objectives, potentially fulfilling prophecies about Middle Eastern powers rising in the end times.
US War on Terror Defeat: Hamas & Taliban Rise After $8T Campaign
📰 What Happened
A stark assessment of America's 25-year War on Terror reveals concerning shifts in Middle Eastern power dynamics. After spending $8 trillion since 9/11, the Taliban now controls Afghanistan, al-Qaeda dominates Syria, and pro-Hamas factions have gained significant Congressional influence. As noted by Daniel McAdams, 'Global War on Terror Is Over. Terror Won.' The report highlights Rep. Ilhan Omar's controversial characterization of 9/11 as when 'some people did something,' while veteran care deteriorates.
📖 Prophetic Significance
The geographic power shift from U.S. influence to Islamic control across key prophetic territories is significant. The Taliban's control of Afghanistan positions them near ancient Persia (Iran), while al-Qaeda's dominance in Syria places them in Damascus, the world's oldest continuously inhabited city and subject of Isaiah's prophecies. The rise of pro-Hamas influence in America's Congress suggests a weakening of support for Israel, aligning with prophecies about Jerusalem becoming a 'burdensome stone' for all nations (Zechariah 12:3). This territorial realignment creates conditions for the prophesied northern confederation against Israel.
