For weeks, reports about a possible military confrontation between the US and Iran have been intensifying. What long sounded like strategic posturing now feels distinctly more concrete. The American military presence in the Middle East has visibly increased. The USS Abraham Lincoln is operating in the area of responsibility of US Central Command, and the USS Gerald R. Ford is additionally being deployed to the region. Washington now has a real military option at its disposal—not just political rhetoric.
At the same time, indirect talks are underway—in Oman, in Geneva. Diplomacy has not ended, but it is clearly under the pressure of military deterrence. Forces are being concentrated, priorities shifted, deployment plans prepared. It is a phase of strategic positioning in which both sides are expanding their options without taking the first step.
Tehran responds with sharp rhetoric. We repeatedly hear the familiar slogans from the Iranian parliament: “Death to America,” “Death to Israel.” The destruction of the Jewish state is openly propagated. To outsiders, this may sound like ideological exaggeration. For Israelis, it...

Jesus described the last days as perilous times, and things we see daily as the beginning of sorrows. It doesn’t seem to matter where a person lives on planet earth today, true, there is more going on in the middle east today but that seems to be the starting point for conflict all over the world.
There are two ideologies seeking to rule the world, communism and Islam, and neither one could care less how much destruction they bring on the world to achieve their goals. One will outlive the other but in the end, both will be destroyed. There is only one ruler of planet earth, He is also the one who created it, no one else will ever rule over it. He will rule from the temple to be built in Jerusalem.
Man’s Help is Vain!!!
Wars are not won because of diplomacy, technology, strategy, or advanced weaponry.
God is the only source for treading down the enemies. He ALONE.
Why? Because the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God.
And war is a result of evil spirits on earth, against the righteous spirits in heaven above, which continue to be in conflict – it’s God’s war with satan, which is ongoing.
The same war [good vs. evil] rages on in the hearts of mankind.
Proverbs 16:7 KJV
7 When a man’s ways please the Lord, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him.
Psalm 108:12-13 KJV
12 Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man. 13 Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies.
Man’s ungodly mind believes that he holds the power to decide what takes place on earth.
Nations rise or fall based on what God permits – there are no exceptions.
Remember Pharaoh and the Egyptians? Who delivered the children of Israel at that time? God did! “Thus the Lord saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians.”
God will make wars to cease until the end of time – over and over, and over again, He continues to bring a cease to the present war.
Psalm 46:9-11 KJV
9 He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth; he breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder; he burneth the chariot in the fire.
Will we ever wake up and call on God, or do we simply resume to our inventions, and arrogantly and ignorantly claim a victory based on what we think we have done?
God’s plan turns man’s plans upside down, as He wills.
All things will continue on God’s timeline, until Jesus returns to earth in order to rule and reign from Jerusalem at the Mount of Olives.
This future event was prophesied by the ancients of Israel. It will absolutely happen someday. Glory to God!
Ecclesiastes 12:13 KJV
13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.
The WHOLE duty of man, is to fear God and keep His commandments.
