Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov warned that ‘World War III could be very close’ following the US attack on Iranian nuclear facilities, missiles fall on US bases in Qatar and Iraq

Trump two days after the US carried out strikes on Iranian nuclear sites aired a statement from Russia, and a warning to the country. ‘Did I hear Former President Medvedev, from Russia, casually throwing around the “N word” (Nuclear!), and saying that he and other Countries would supply Nuclear Warheads to Iran?’ wrote Trump on his Truth Social platform on Monday morning. ‘Did he really say that or, is it just a figment of my imagination? If he did say that, and, if confirmed, please let me know, IMMEDIATELY.’ That’s the memo.

“Curse not the king, no not in thy thought; and curse not the rich in thy bedchamber: for a bird of the air shall carry the voice, and that which hath wings shall tell the matter.” Ecclesiastes 10:20 (KJB)

Iran on Monday night fired 10 ballistic missiles at the US Central Command (CENTCOM)’s Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar and one ballistic missile at an American base in Iraq in retaliation for Washington’s attack on three Iranian nuclear sites on Sunday morning, multiple sources told The Jerusalem Post. Donald Trump in his address on Saturday said that the US strike on Iranian bases was meant to end a war, not start one. He may just have started one anyway. Donald Trump confidentially campaigned for president on his ability to end the war in Ukraine from Day 1, end the war in Gaza, and prevent a war in the Middle East. But as his presidency unfolds, he is doing just the opposite of what he promised.

Lavrov warns of possible World War III after US attack on Iran

FROM AURORA NEWS: “There is a huge potential for conflict right under our noses, in Ukraine and the Middle East,” Putin had stated days earlier during the St. Petersburg Economic Forum. Lavrov echoed that warning by questioning the legitimacy of certain countries exercising their right to self-defense, disregarding the UN Charter. According to the diplomat, this attitude is pushing the world toward “total chaos.”

Tensions rose sharply following the precision strikes launched by the United States last Saturday, which hit the Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan nuclear facilities. Washington confirmed that the operation was ordered by President Donald Trump and that its objective was to neutralize the Iranian regime’s strategic capabilities.

Reactions from Moscow were immediate. The Russian Foreign Ministry called the attacks “irresponsible” and in violation of international law, emphasizing that they were carried out by a permanent member of the UN Security Council.

In line with Lavrov, former Russian president and current Vice President of the Security Council, Dmitry Medvedev, stated that most countries around the world reject this military action. According to him, the damage to Iranian infrastructure was minimal, and the offensive could have accelerated a more favorable international response to Tehran, including the possible transfer of nuclear weapons.

The crisis erupted on June 13, when Israel bombed targets in Iran and declared a state of emergency. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu explained that the operation sought to dismantle the Iranian regime’s nuclear capabilities. The Islamic Republic responded with missile strikes, triggering a rapid regional escalation.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi is now heading to Moscow for talks with President Putin. His Russian counterpart, Lavrov, stated that Israel and the United States “crossed a very big red line” with the attack on nuclear facilities. For its part, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) confirmed that no increases in radiation levels were detected following the attacks, and ruled out any impacts on health or the environment.

“Europe is paying a heavy price,” Lavrov concluded. “The West has already shown its true colors, and now we are experiencing another chapter in that story.”

In the same interview, Lavrov also harshly criticized the Western stance on the Ukrainian conflict and the demonization of Russia. “They are cynically using Ukraine against us,” the foreign minister said. He also noted an “almost animal-like aggressiveness” in European discourse, especially from figures like Ursula von der Leyen and Kaja Kallas, whom he dismissed with contempt. Lavrov also denounced the economic impact of the sanctions and energy policies imposed on Moscow. He said, “They have almost completely abandoned Russian fuels and swallowed the terrorist act in the northern flows,” referring to the sabotage of the Nord Stream gas pipelines. READ MORE

The entire Middle East is going through a great reset in order to fully establish the Abraham Accords in preparation of the arrival of Antichrist

Looking beyond Gaza, Netanyahu said he believed the operation in Iran would also lead to an expansion of the Abraham Accords, a series of normalization deals between Israel and Arab countries that were brokered during Trump’s previous term. “Extraordinary opportunities are being opened up here,” he said, and reiterated that Israel’s show of strength “is opening up opportunities that we can’t even imagine. I can imagine a massive expansion of the peace agreements,” he continued. “I can see collaborations that might seem fantastical right now, but maybe you understand they’re not fantastical. We will see a bright future of security, of prosperity, of hope, and also of peace.” Wow, and that’s the memo.

“Wherefore hear the word of the LORD, ye scornful men, that rule this people which is in Jerusalem. Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves:” Isaiah 28:14,15 (KJB)

On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, the entire Middle East is right now going through a paradigm shift that could accurately also be called a great reset not unlike the one we all went through starting back in 2020. We warned you that the events that were set in place then would change and evolve but absolutely not stop and this is exactly what we are continuing to watch unfold. A king is preparing to take the stage, and everything needed for his 7-year kingdom is being prepared. Where does a great reset in the Middle East lead us to? To a time of false peace, prosperity and a rebuilt Temple in Jerusalem. Who is the man leading this charge? None other than US president Donald J. Trump. Welcome to Day 1,925 of 15 Days To Flatten The Curve.

On this Sunday Service, God is not done with the Jews and Israel and everything will change when the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.

All across social media this week, there has been on topic and subject that’s been getting more attention than anything else, and surprisingly, it has little to do with Trump authorizing airstrikes on the Iranian nuclear facilities. The main thing people are talking about is Replacement Theology, and how Christians have replaced the Jews as God’s chosen people, and the Church has replaced Israel as the apple of God’s eye. The fact that these things are not true does not stop people like Catholics and Calvinists from believing it. In my message today, I want to talk to you about the current state of the Jews and Israel until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.

“For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.” Romans 11:25 (KJB)

Today we held our very first Sunday Service at the Bible Believers House Church in the Bookstore, we had a full house and it was a blessing. The old hymns were sung, a strong message was preached, and when it was over we had a nice little Open Forum Q&A to close out the service. We praise the Lord for this open door, and invite you to come and be a part of what the Lord is doing at the Bookstore every Sunday morning at 11:00 AM EST. Please follow our Facebook page for event information.

SUNDAY SERVICE STUDY NOTES: Until The Fulness Of The Gentiles Be Come In

Until The Fulness Of The Gentiles Be Come In

“For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.” Romans 11:25 (KJB)

“Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness?” Romans 11:12 (KJB)

Times of the Gentiles

“But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.” Revelation 11:2 (KJB)

“And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.” Luke 21:24 (KJB)

“And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh. Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto. For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.” Luke 21:20-22 (KJB)

Israel restored

“And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious. And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea. And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.” Isaiah 11:10-12 (KJB)
