MembersThe war over the promises

The sirens wail. Heaven and earth tremble under the impact of missiles. Yet behind the smoke, behind the din of war, a deeper battle rages – a battle for the very truth of history itself.

What we are witnessing is not just another war in the Middle East. It is a clash of promises, of prophetic visions, of messianic expectations. The war between Israel and Iran is more than a political confrontation; it is a frontline in salvation history. On both sides stand not only armies but ideologies, religions, indeed entire worldviews. In recent days, since the war with Iran broke out, one expression keeps appearing in Arab media and social networks: “the true promise.” What at first sounds like a strategic code name turns out to be a key to a spiritual reality that charges this war with apocalyptic force. Who lays claim to the truth of God – Jerusalem or someone else? Zion or the Islamic Revolution? This war is a contest between the biblical God and Allah in Tehran.

Since the outbreak of war with Iran I repeatedly encounter the term “the true promise,” often described as an operation, in Arab networks and media. The phrase al-waʿd aṣ-ṣādiq (الوعد الصادق) literally means “the truthful/reliable promise” and has a strong connection to...

    This article is very well put together. I have been redeemed by the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, bought with the precious blood of Yeshua HaMashiach and kept by the power of the Ruach Ha Kodesh for over 40 years.
    As I was reading this article I was seeing how all the information contained lines up with what I have studied over this same time period.
    This current war is part of the preparation for the climatic events that The Bible, the whole Bible prophecies for what is to come.
    Also back in the late 1800’s Albert Pike established a plan for a New World Order which would involve three world wars. The third world war would be between political Zionists and the leaders of the Islamic world. (Albert Pike and three world wars).
    There indeed is a test coming upon this whole world and Israel alone as a nation in past history has personally witnessed the outcome of all the surrounding nations that sought to annihilate her because it’s always about who’s God is the True God.
    The same will be true in the days ahead. The gods of the nation’s change but the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob who watches over Israel, He never changes.
    All those who put their trust in Him will not be ashamed. Psalm 91:1-2
