Orthodox Prophecy Fulfilled: “You Will Be Drinking Your Coffee” When Israel Strikes Iran’s Nuclear Program
“Guys, you will be drinking your coffee and you will hear that the Jews attacked the nuclear program of Persia (Iran). That’s when events of greater magnitude will begin.”
An Ancient Orthodox Saint’s vision has come true as biblical end times appear to be accelerating.
This prophecy from Elder Theodoros Agiofarangitis of Crete, who died in 2016, has captured the attention of Orthodox Christians worldwide following Israel’s June 13, 2025, massive assault on Iran’s nuclear facilities.
The prophecy, shared through Metropolitan Neophytos of Morphou, a disciple of several contemporary Orthodox saints including Saint Paisios and Saint Porphyrios, described with startling precision how people would casually hear the news of Israel’s strike while going about their daily routines.The prophecy continued: “And at the same time, or a little earlier, Erdogan will fall,” pointing to additional geopolitical upheavals that Orthodox believers say signal the beginning of prophetic end times events.
Orthodox eschatology, particularly through the writings and visions of modern saints such as Saint Paisios of Mount Athos, has long foretold of major conflicts involving Israel, Turkey, and other regional powers.
Father Peter Heers, an Orthodox theologian, notes that “the prophecies of the saints, not only Greek saints but also Russian, Romanian, and Serbian saints, state that countries will use nuclear weapons” following the Israeli strike.According to these teachings, the attack on Iran may serve as a trigger for broader geopolitical crises, including the fall of Turkey’s leadership and the onset of large-scale regional conflict.
The Orthodox prophecy isn’t the only religious interpretation gaining attention. Israel’s large-scale June 13, 2025 military operation, Operation Rising Lion, has prompted biblical scholars and prophecy teachers across Christian denominations to reexamine whether recent events align with ancient scriptural predictions, particularly in light of Iran’s direct attack on Israel in April 2024.
The coordinated strike targeted Iran’s nuclear infrastructure and military leadership, including key sites such as the Natanz and Parchin facilities, missile bases, air defenses, and residences of senior commanders.High-profile casualties included Major General Mohammad Bagheri, IRGC Commander Hossein Salami, and at least six nuclear scientists, including Fereydoon Abbasi. The operation involved approximately 200 Israeli Air Force jets, drone swarms, and covert Mossad sabotage teams.
The mission’s Hebrew codename, Am KeLavi—“A People Rises Like a Lioness,” drawn from Numbers 23:24—has been interpreted by some as symbolizing divine protection and prophetic fulfillment.
For many prophecy scholars, this combination of air superiority, weakened Iranian proxies, and the elimination of Iran’s nuclear leadership mirrors the conditions described in Ezekiel’s end-times vision.Evangelical Christian leaders have been especially vocal in linking recent events to biblical prophecy.
Pastor Greg Laurie of Harvest Christian Fellowship, a prominent Bible prophecy teacher, said he believes Iran’s attack on Israel fulfills Scripture and signals the end times.
He pointed to the regathering of the Jewish people in their homeland, specifically Israel’s founding on May 14, 1948, as the moment when “the prophetic time clock began to tick.”
