The US has obtained new intelligence suggesting that Israel is making preparations to strike Iran and their nuclear facilities, even as the Trump administration has been pursuing a diplomatic deal with Tehran

The backchannels throughout the Middle East are lit up like a pinball machine today, with all signs pointing to an imminent strike on Iran by the nation of Israel. Yes, we’ve been to this brink many times before, granted, so what’s different this time about this potential ‘imminent strike’ false alarm. The difference is that Donald Trump just came back from a 3-day jaunt to the Middle East where he seemingly single-handedly reset relations across the board. We have arrived at the ‘now or never’ portion of our show, and Israel has promised ‘never again’. We are about to see if they mean it. That’s the memo.

“Then said he, Knowest thou wherefore I come unto thee? and now will I return to fight with the prince of Persia: and when I am gone forth, lo, the prince of Grecia shall come.” Daniel 10:20 (KJB)

Bob Jones Sr. once said that “war is God’s judgment on man here on Earth, and Hell is God’s judgment on man hereafter.” Jesus tells us that until the Rapture it will be nothing but “wars and rumours of wars”, Daniel tells us that “desolations are determined”, and James tells us exactly where war comes from. Go look it up. We have watched enough WWII and Vietnam documentaries to not want to see another war ever again, but war is indeed coming. Israel and the IDF must strike Iran to buy desperately needed time before a nuclear attack. Our sources inside Jerusalem tell us that the strike could come as soon as tonight, and we’ll be watching the chatter. In the meantime, pray for the peace of Jerusalem, for the Jews, and for the world’s only holy land of Israel. Am Yisrael Chai.

New intelligence suggests Israel is preparing possible strike on Iranian nuclear facilities, US officials say

FROM CNN: Such a strike would be a brazen break with President Donald Trump, US officials said. It could also risk tipping off a broader regional conflict in the Middle East — something the US has sought to avoid since the war in Gaza inflamed tensions beginning in 2023.

Officials caution it’s not clear that Israeli leaders have made a final decision, and that in fact, there is deep disagreement within the US government about the likelihood that Israel will ultimately act. Whether and how Israel strikes will likely depend on what it thinks of the US negotiations with Tehran over its nuclear program.

But “the chance of an Israeli strike on an Iranian nuclear facility has gone up significantly in recent months,” said another person familiar with US intelligence on the issue. “And the prospect of a Trump-negotiated US-Iran deal that doesn’t remove all of Iran’s uranium makes the chance of a strike more likely.”

The heightened worries stem not only from public and private messaging from senior Israeli officials that it is considering such a move, but also from intercepted Israeli communications and observations of Israeli military movements that could suggest an imminent strike, multiple sources familiar with the intelligence said.

Among the military preparations the US has observed are the movement of air munitions and the completion of an air exercise, two of the sources said.

But those same indicators could also simply be Israel trying to pressure Iran to abandon key tenets of its nuclear program by signaling the consequences if it doesn’t — underscoring the ever-shifting complexities the White House is navigating. READ MORE

Murray County Jail up in Georgia has an urgent need for King James Bibles and Christian literature for the hundreds of inmates they have there

Back in March of this year, we answered a Bible request from Chaplain Larry Styles at the Whitfield County Jail Ministry in Georgia, a group of retired volunteers who go into the jails on a regular basis and minister to the inmates with prayer, bible teaching, preaching, and of course giving them a copy of the preserved word of God. We sent them right around 500 King James Bibles, and now the need is growing in the North Georgia area, in fact it’s exploding, and the Lord is tapping us to answer the call!

“Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.“ John 15:8 (KJB)

Today I received an email from Pastor Rick at the New Life Baptist Church in Dalton, and he wrote to thank us for sending all those Bibles to Whitfield. Then he told me about the greater need that they have up there. He said this: “First of all I want to thank you for the KJV Bibles your graciously gave to the inmates. They are going out and we do see a results of the Word of God working in these men. Our Church provides good KJV Bible studies to the inmates along with your Bibles. Praise God we are seeing men saved and growing through the lessons and mainly God’s Word. We have another need I would like to share with you. There are 4 churches involved in the Jail ministry at the Murray County Jail, neighboring county to Whitfield. Our church is one of them.  Is it possible that we could get KJV Bibles for Murray County? It would be a tremendous blessing as we go in to preach if all the inmates had their own copy of God’s Word. Please let me know if this is something you could help us with. I am just now learning about your ministry and it thrills my heart to read the great things God is doing through you to reach those behind bars. May God richly bless you.” Fruit, more fruit and much fruit, it doesn’t get any better than that!

European Union countries have given a green light to lifting economic sanctions on Syria in a bid to help the war-torn country recover after the ouster of Bashar al-Assad, according to diplomats speaking to news agencies.

President Donald Trump spent 3 days and 3 nights in the heart of the Middle East last week, and it has resulted in far-reaching and monumental change in that region. Not the least of which is the billions of dollars of nuclear and AI technology that will now be coming to them from America. Trump formed a conspicuous bromance with convicted terrorist  Ahmed al-Sharaa, the interim president of Syria, announcing he was lifting sanctions from Syria. Now the EU is following suit. Look out for terror nation Syria led by terrorist Ahmed al-Sharaa to soon make a splash on the world scene. That’s the memo.

It’s funny, we always seem to look at liberals and Democrats to be the ones to usher in the end times evil, and yet, it’s the Conservatives with the Christian base that seem to cause most of the trouble. Remember President George W. Bush? He presided over 9/11 with his brother Marvin in charge of the security at the Twin Towers, brought in the Patriot Act that could have been written by George Orwell as a follow-up to ‘1984’, and attacked Iraq looking for “weapons of mass destruction” that everyone knew was a lie. Take President Trump, he who seeks to “drain the Swamp” and make America great again. So far he was put the world on lockdown, created a deadly mRNA ‘vaccine’ that already has killed 17 million people, endlessly repeated the lie about COVID, and now he’s empowering Muslim nations with nuclear weapons and AI technology. We don’t need to mention the $3,000,000,000.00 Trump has put into his personal account since last November. Funny how that all is.

EU reaches initial deal to lift economic sanctions on Syria: Reports

FROM ALJAZEERA: Ambassadors from the EU’s 27 member states struck a preliminary agreement for the move, which should be formally unveiled by foreign ministers meeting in Brussels later on Tuesday, diplomats said, noting that the final decision is up to ministers.

This follows an announcement by the United States last week that it is lifting sanctions on Damascus.

Reporting from the EU headquarters, Al Jazeera’s Hashem Ahelbarra described the reported agreement to lift the sanctions as a “really significant” development.

President Trump went to the Middle East and normalized relationships with Islamic terrorists and terror-supporting states. But none more eyebrow-raising than his bromance with al-Qaeda terrorist Ahmed al-Sharaa in Syria who Trumps calls “an attractive, strong guy”. Hmm. pic.twitter.com/B7QmJGlUtO

“It’s first of all an acknowledgement that the EU recognises the authority which is operating now in Syria, and that there need to be more financial transactions to pave the way for the creation of financial stability and improve the living standards of the people in Syria,” he said.

Sanctions were levied during the rule of al-Assad in 2012 and 2013 and concern the transport, energy and the banking sectors, Ahelbarra said. The country’s new leadership has urged the West to ease the restrictions to help Syria recover from years of despotic rule and civil war.

Ahead of the expected official announcement from the EU, Syria’s Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shaibani said on Tuesday that “lifting sanctions expresses the regional and international will to support Syria”.

“The Syrian people today have a very important and historic opportunity to rebuild their country,” he said at a press conference in Damascus. “The plan today is to benefit from the lifting of sanctions. Anyone who wants to invest in Syria, the doors are open; anyone who wants to cooperate with Syria, there are no sanctions,” he added. READ MORE
