The Abraham Accords Forever Changed The Middle East As Israel Is Now On A Rendezvous With Destiny And The Daniel 9:27 Peace Covenant Confirmation With Antichrist

And then came the moment that changed everything: A phone call between Trump, Netanyahu and Abu Dhabi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, leading to the announcement of peace on Trump’s Twitter account. The deal was called the Abraham Accords, named after the forefather of Jews and Arabs.

What a year it was. If you are a student of bible prophecy, 2020, was absolutely off-the-charts for you, I know it was for me. COVID-19 and the Great Reset aside, the story of the year was the stunning revelation and subsequent development of the Abraham Accords peace treaty between Israel and, well, all the Muslim nations that surround them. You know that old expression “kill them with kindness”? That would appear to be exactly what is taking place through the Abraham Accords.

“For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head. They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones. They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance. For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee: The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the Hagarenes; Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre; Assur also is joined with them: they have holpen the children of Lot. Selah.” Psalm 83:2-8 (KJB)

The common interpretation of Psalm 83 is that all the Muslim nations that surround Israel will form a confederacy between themselves, and then come at Israel in a united front. But what if that united front comes at Israel in the form of a peace covenant, a trap to lure them in and then strike? You know what the bible has to say about where ‘peace and safety’ in the absence of the King of Peace leads you, in case you forgot, here it is:

“For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.” 1 Thessalonians 5:3 (KJB)

Furthermore, you do also realize that the apostle Paul was referencing the prophet Jeremiah when he borrowed that metaphor of a ‘man giving birth’, right? So what does that tell you? It tells you that a ‘peace treaty’ between Israel and her Muslim neighbors leads you directly to the time of Jacob’s trouble. That’s what it tells you if you believe the bible, I sure do.

“Ask ye now, and see whether a man doth travail with child? wherefore do I see every man with his hands on his loins, as a woman in travail, and all faces are turned into paleness? Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob’s trouble; but he shall be saved out of it.” Jeremiah 30:6,7 (KJB)

This is exactly where the Abraham Accords will lead Israel, directly to the doorstep of Antichrist confirming the Daniel 9:27 covenant. The prophet Daniel tells us that the Antichrist ‘confirms the covenant’, he doesn’t create the covenant, it is already in place when he steps on the scene. I submit to you who study bible prophecy that that covenant is right now in place in the form of the Abraham Accords, and that the Pretribulation Rapture of the Church is right around the corner.

“And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.” Daniel 9:27 (KJB)

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT ISRAEL AND THE COMING TIME OF JACOB’S TROUBLE

The Abraham Accords domino effect will lead to more peace deals

FROM THE JERUSALEM POST: The love affair between Israelis and Emiratis began immediately. There was an effusive outpouring of support and excitement on social media from regular people in both countries. And on the diplomatic level, the governments immediately took action to make normalization a reality. Less than two weeks later, the first-ever Israeli delegation to the UAE landed in Abu Dhabi, led by National Security Adviser Meir Ben-Shabbat. Israeli flags waved in the airport where an El Al plane landed in Abu Dhabi for the first time.

The ensuing months have brought a flurry of business, cultural and diplomatic exchanges, and, of course, many thousands of Israeli tourists in Dubai this month, when the UAE was one of the only “green” countries Israelis could visit without having to quarantine when they arrived home. Even the talk of a deal to allow the UAE to buy F-35 planes could not mar the excitement. The US, Israel and the UAE have all said that the fighter jets were not part of the peace deal and never came up between the two Middle Eastern countries. At the same time, the US and UAE pointed out that Israel lifting its opposition to the sale – after Gantz met with his American counterpart and they reached an arrangement that satisfactorily maintained Israel’s qualitative military edge – was what greased the wheels on something the UAE had been seeking for the past six years.

In the last few months, we have also seen a veritable domino effect. It took the UAE’s courage to be the first Arab country in decades to take the plunge and establish diplomatic relations with Israel to inspire more to follow. Bahrain’s announcement came less than a month later, and its foreign minister took part in a peace-signing ceremony at the White House a few days after that. In mid-October, Ben-Shabbat led another delegation, this time to Manama. The Bahrain peace deal didn’t come with any strings attached to date, and has been purely about normal diplomatic and business ties, which have moved at a rapid pace, as with the UAE.

ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE CHRISLAM ‘ABRAHAM ACCORD’ BETWEEN ISRAEL AND UAE WAS MISSING LINK NEEDED TO LAUNCH VATICAN ABRAHAMIC FAITHS INITIATIVE

The next two dominoes to fall were Sudan and Morocco, but in a somewhat different way. In both cases, ties with Israel came together with a major shift in US policy in favor of those countries. Normalization with Sudan is highly symbolic for Israelis. Khartoum was the site of the Arab League’s “three noes” of 1967: no negotiations, no recognition, no peace with Israel. For Khartoum to overturn those three is truly momentous. The business opportunities in Sudan are fewer for Israelis, but Israel has already offered help in the areas of agriculture, water use, solar energy and more.

For Sudan, the normalization story was something else entirely. The announcement of steps toward ties with Israel came in late October, after pressure from Pompeo during negotiations to remove the African state from the US list of state sponsors of terrorism. That removal came over a year and a half after Sudanese dictator Omar al-Bashir was removed and Burhan, a Sudanese Army general, and civilian leader Abdalla Hamdok formed a government aimed at transitioning toward democracy. Getting off the list will likely drastically help Sudan’s economic recovery and access to international aid.

While the US denied making an ultimatum – recognize Israel or you stay on the list – it’s clear that Khartoum felt serious pressure. Hamdok was opposed to ties with Israel, while Burhan was more in favor – after all, he had met Netanyahu already – and both realized it was risky while their country’s situation was so shaky, but in the end they did it. Normalization with Israel was a small step to take toward something that was much bigger and more important for Sudan.

The same could be said about normalization between Israel and Morocco, announced in December. In King Mohammed VI’s announcement, a few short bullet points on renewing diplomatic relations with Israel came after seven lengthy paragraphs on the Trump administration’s agreement to recognize Moroccan sovereignty over Western Sahara. That recognition is the big prize Morocco wanted.

If the king had not been holding out for a big prize – as he saw Sudan and to some extent the UAE received – ties with Israel would have been easy. Israel and Morocco had secret ties, including intelligence sharing, for decades, and partial diplomatic relations in the 1990s. Those relations were officially suspended in 2000, but some level of ties has always continued, and many Israelis visit Morocco each year.

“For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.” 1 Thessalonians 5:3 (KJB) https://t.co/Jgtg86iggn

Still, since a million Israelis have roots in Morocco, and many have fond, positive feelings for the country and its royal family, this move was celebrated in Israel. And Morocco’s tourism minister expects 200,000 Israeli visitors a year, post-corona.

With 2020 behind us and 2021 beginning, there is discussion of even more dominoes falling, and even more countries joining the Abraham Accords. Trump administration officials have said they’re working to even make it happen in the next three weeks, before President-elect Joe Biden takes office.

Mauritania, Oman and Indonesia are the names on Israeli and American officials’ tongues these days, which makes sense, because Israel has or has had some level of ties with all of them. Mauritania declared war on Israel in 1967, but the countries established diplomatic relations in 1999, which were suspended in the wake of Operation Cast Lead in 2009.

Former prime minister Yitzhak Rabin visited Indonesia, the most populous Muslim country, and thousands of Israeli and Indonesian tourists visit each other’s countries each year. Netanyahu visited Oman in 2018, and Israel and Oman are part of the anti-Iran axis in the Middle East.

But the big hope is for Saudi Arabia.

This is where Biden comes into play. Biden and his foreign policy advisers have spoken positively about the Abraham Accords, without commenting on the strings attached. At the same time, they have been very critical of Saudi Arabia’s human rights record. If the Trump administration doesn’t find a way to quickly make it worth Riyadh’s while in the next few weeks, which seems unlikely, MBS and King Salman will probably wait to see what benefit they can exact from the Biden administration to go with peace with Israel. After all, the thought is, why shouldn’t they get something out of the deal, as the UAE, Sudan and Morocco did?

At the same time, a very senior official told The Jerusalem Post that Riyadh is expected to get on board in 2021. Netanyahu and MBS met in the Saudi city of Neom weeks ago. Salman is still reticent on the matter, holding on to the Arab Peace Initiative, also known as the Saudi Initiative, which requires peace with the Palestinians before normalization with the Arab League.

Looking ahead at the unfolding new year, it seems likely that the Abraham Accords domino rally will continue, and it seems almost inevitable that it will feature the biggest coup of all, Saudi-Israel peace. But if there’s anything we learned from 2020, it is that January can be drastically different from December in ways we never expected. READ MORE

THE BIBLE BELIEVERS SUNDAY SERVICE: The Secret Of The Lord And The Faith Of Him

Published

August 2, 2026

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

The Secret Of The LORD Shows Us His Ways, And The Faith Of Him Secures Our Standing — One Reveals God’s Eternal Purpose While The Other Guarantees That It Cannot Fail

The secret of the LORD is not some mystical code reserved for religious elites; it is the intimate counsel of God entrusted to those who fear Him, receive His words and walk in obedience to His testimonies. The proud man may possess information about God, but the surrendered servant is taught the ways of God. Psalm 25 shows the order clearly: fear produces teachability, obedience places us in the paths of mercy and truth, and fellowship with the LORD brings understanding of His covenant and purpose. God reveals His secret to servants because revealed truth carries responsibility—we are expected to believe it, obey it and proclaim it. Welcome to the Sunday Service of the Bible Believers Church at the Bookstore!

“The secret of the LORD is with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant.” Psalm 25:14 (KJB)

When God brings us into the revelation of His eternal purpose in Christ, we discover that our access, righteousness and security do not rest upon our own wavering faithfulness, but upon “the faith of him.” We believe in Jesus Christ, but we are justified by the faith of Jesus Christ; our believing receives the gift, while His perfect obedience and finished work provide its unshakable foundation. Our confidence may tremble, our emotions may change and our performance may fail, but Jesus Christ cannot falter or deny Himself. The secret of the LORD reveals His purpose, and the faith of Him guarantees that purpose will be accomplished: the servant may falter, but the Saviour can never fail.

The Bible Believers Sunday Service: The Secret Of The Lord

The Secret Of The Lord

“The secret of the LORD is with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant.” Psalm 25:14 (KJB)

“According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord: In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him.” Ephesians 3:11–12 (KJB)

The LORD reveals His secret counsel to those who fear Him, receive His words and walk in obedience. But our standing, access and security before God do not rest upon the strength of our faith. They rest upon the perfect and unfailing faith of Jesus Christ. The secret reveals God’s purpose; the faith of Christ guarantees its accomplishment.

I. The Secret of the LORD Is Given to Those Who Fear Him

“The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way. All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies. For thy name’s sake, O LORD, pardon mine iniquity; for it is great. What man is he that feareth the LORD? him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose. His soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall inherit the earth. The secret of the LORD is with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant. Mine eyes are ever toward the LORD; for he shall pluck my feet out of the net.” Psalm 25:9-15 (KJB)

The fear of the LORD places a man in a teachable position. God does not entrust His counsel to the proud, rebellious or self-sufficient. He teaches the person who approaches Him with reverence, humility and submission. The secret of the LORD is not occult knowledge or a hidden code. It is the privilege of understanding God’s ways, His counsel, His covenant and His purpose. Being teachable and willing to follow Him appears to be one of the LORD’s special secrets.

In the opening of Psalm 25, there are 4 requests being made in the first 7 verses.

“Shew me” verse 4
“Lead me” verse 5
“teach me” verse 5
“remember me” verse 7

Application

Before asking God to show us deeper truth, we should ask whether we are obeying the truth He has already shown us. A person who refuses God’s plain commandments should not expect illumination concerning deeper spiritual matters.

II. Obedience Places Us in the Path of Mercy and Truth

“All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.” Psalm 25:10 (KJB)

The secret is not merely something we hear; it is something we walk in. God’s paths become clearer as we obey His testimonies. Obedience does not earn divine revelation. Rather, obedience demonstrates that we are prepared to receive, value and act upon what God reveals.

Application

The serious Bible student must come to the Scriptures with more than curiosity. He must come with a surrendered heart:

What does God say?
What does God require?
What must I believe?
What must I change?
What must I do?

III. God Reveals His Secret to His Servants

“Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.” Amos 3:7 (KJB)

“And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient,” 2 Timothy 2:24 (KJB)

“Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God,” Romans 1:1 (KJB)

James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ – James 1:1
Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ – 2 Peter 1:1
Jude, the servant of Jesus Christ – Jude 1:1

Before God acted in judgment, He revealed His counsel to His prophets. They were called “servants” because divine revelation always carries divine responsibility. The prophets were not given God’s secret so they could admire their own knowledge. They were commanded to proclaim what God had revealed.

Application

Whenever God gives a preacher, teacher or Bible believer understanding, that person becomes responsible for what he knows.

Truth creates accountability:

Truth must be believed.
Truth must be obeyed.
Truth must be proclaimed.
Truth must never be corrupted for personal advantage.

IV. The Secret Leads Us to God’s Eternal Purpose in Christ

“And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:” Ephesians 3:9 (KJB)

“According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord:” Ephesians 3:11 (KJB)

Psalm 25 speaks in covenant language, while Ephesians 3 reveals the mystery concerning the Church, the Body of Christ. These programs must not be confused, but the spiritual principle remains: God reveals His purpose according to His own timing and to His chosen servants.

The mystery revealed through Paul was not a revised version of Israel’s prophetic program. It had been “hid in God.” It reveals the unsearchable riches of Christ and God’s eternal purpose for the Church.

Application

We must rightly divide the word of truth. Everything in the Bible is written for our learning, but not everything is written doctrinally to us.

The believer must distinguish:

Prophecy from mystery.
Israel from the Church.
Covenant promises from the Body of Christ.
The earthly kingdom from our heavenly position.

V. Our Access to God Is by the Faith of Him

“In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him.” Ephesians 3:12 (KJB)

Our access does not rest upon our feelings, performance or ability to maintain perfect confidence. We have access because we are in Jesus Christ, and that access is “by the faith of him.” Our faith may be weak, but His faith cannot weaken. Our confidence may fluctuate, but His faithfulness cannot change. Our performance may fail, but His finished work remains eternally sufficient.

Application

We do not approach God by presenting our worthiness. We approach God in the worthiness of Jesus Christ. Our boldness is not self-confidence. It is Christ-confidence.

VI. The Bible Distinguishes Our Believing From the Faith of Christ

“Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.” Galatians 2:16 (KJB)

This verse contains both sides of the doctrine:

“The faith of Jesus Christ” describes the divine basis of our justification.
“We have believed in Jesus Christ” describes our personal reception of it.

Our believing is necessary, but our believing is not the meritorious work that purchases salvation. We believe on the One whose faith, obedience, blood and finished work are completely sufficient.

Application

The sinner is not told to have faith in his own faith. He is commanded to believe on Jesus Christ. Salvation does not depend upon how intensely a sinner can believe. It depends upon whether the object of his faith is the Lord Jesus Christ.

VII. The Faith of Christ Provides the Righteousness We Could Never Produce

“Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:” Romans 3:22 (KJB)

“And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:” Philippians 3:9 (KJB)

Salvation requires perfect righteousness. We cannot produce it, maintain it or deserve it. God therefore gives the believer His righteousness through the faith of Jesus Christ.

It is:

Not our righteousness.
Not the righteousness of the law.
Not religious performance.
Not human faithfulness.
The righteousness of God in Jesus Christ.

Application

Stop examining yourself to determine whether you are righteous enough to remain saved. You’re not and never will be. Instead, look to Jesus Christ, in whom we have been made accepted. Our assurance rests in His righteousness, not ours.

VIII. The Faith of Christ Sustains the Believer’s Daily Life

“I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.” Galatians 2:20 (KJB)

The faith of Christ is not only connected with our justification; it is also the foundation of our Christian life. Paul did not say that he lived by confidence in himself. He lived by the faith of the Son of God. Christ loved us, gave Himself for us and now lives in us.

Application

Christian living is not attempting to ‘imitate Jesus’ through human determination. Imitating Jesus is what Antichrist will do! Rather, it is the life of Christ operating through a surrendered believer.

We supply the surrendered vessel; Christ supplies the life.

IX. The Two Doctrines Come Together

The Secret of the LORD	The Faith of Him
Reveals God’s counsel	Accomplishes God’s purpose
Is with those who fear Him	Is found perfectly in Jesus Christ
Calls the servant to obedience	Gives the believer boldness and access
Shows us God’s covenant and ways	Gives us God’s righteousness
Creates responsibility	Produces security
Tells us what God is doing	Guarantees that God’s purpose cannot fail

Combined Truth

The secret of the LORD shows us that God desires surrendered servants who fear Him, obey Him and receive His counsel. The faith of Him shows us that the fulfillment of God’s eternal purpose does not finally rest upon the servant’s strength—it rests upon Jesus Christ. We are called to be faithful, but we are secured by the One who cannot be unfaithful.

“If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.” 2 Timothy 2:13 (KJB)

Application

Ask yourself:

Do I truly fear the LORD, or do I merely possess religious knowledge?
Am I obeying the truth God has already shown me?
Am I a servant whom God can trust with greater understanding?
Am I rightly dividing prophecy from mystery?
Am I trusting my feelings and performance, or the finished work of Christ?
Is my confidence resting in my faith, or in the faith of Him?
Am I using revealed truth to serve others and glorify God?

Closing Challenge

The secret of the LORD is not given so that we may become proud of what we know. It is given so that we may understand His ways, submit to His Word and faithfully serve His purpose. At the same time, we must never confuse our service with the foundation of our salvation. We fear Him, obey Him and serve Him—but our boldness, access, righteousness and security rest completely in Jesus Christ. The servant may falter, but the Saviour cannot fail. The secret is revealed to those who fear Him, and its eternal purpose is secured by the faith of Him.

The War That Donald Trump Started In Iran Is Rapidly Spinning Out Of Control As The United States Appears To Be Heading ‘Strait’ Into A Strategic Defeat

August 1, 2026

Geoffrey Grider

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

Trump Said Iran Was Obliterated And The War Was Nearly Finished, Now U.S. Allies Fear Defeat And American Generals Are Warning Of Dangerous Shortages

HOW CAN THIS BE?? How can the most powerful military machine on earth spend five months pounding Iran with bombers, cruise missiles, aircraft carriers and thousands of combat sorties, only to awaken to headlines warning that America is approaching a strategic defeat? The answer is as simple as it is devastating. President Donald Trump confused the power to destroy targets with the ability to win a war. The Pentagon can publish breathtaking numbers of Iranian installations bombed, ships destroyed and commanders eliminated, but none of that constitutes victory when the enemy government remains standing, the Strait of Hormuz remains effectively closed, American forces remain under attack and the conflict continues expanding across the Middle East. Trump promised obliteration, announced victory and assured the American people that the war was nearly finished. Iran apparently never received that memo. Today all Hell is breaking loose across the Middle East, and it appears to be unstoppable.

“Or what king, going to make war against another king, sitteth not down first, and consulteth whether he be able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty thousand?” Luke 14:31 (KJB)

Trump entered this war boasting of overwhelming American strength, but without any attainable endgame. Was the objective to destroy Iran’s nuclear program, eliminate its missiles, overthrow the government, reopen Hormuz, protect Israel, blockade Iranian ports or force Tehran into an unconditional surrender? No one in the Trump administration seems to know the answer to that. Washington has attempted all of it simultaneously, and has accomplished none of it decisively. The Iranian regime survived the opening bombardment, hardened its grip on the country and continued launching missiles and drones against Israel, American installations, commercial shipping and Gulf allies. Iran does not have to defeat the United States in a conventional battle. It merely has to remain standing while America bleeds money, burns through interceptors, exhausts its warships and watches the conflict spread from Iran into Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Yemen and Egypt.

Donald Trump promised us “no more endless wars” and has now put us into a war we just may end up losing. Iran is not only surviving, they are thriving, and are starting to dictate battlefield terms. pic.twitter.com/B9vnmSwNb2

— Now The End Begins (@NowTheEndBegins) August 1, 2026

Today comes the astonishing report that America’s top general in Europe has warned the Pentagon that he needs another Navy destroyer to continue protecting both Israel and the United States. Without it, he may be forced to prioritize the American homeland. Think about what that means. Five months after Trump began a war he claimed would demonstrate unmatched American power, the Department of War is reportedly confronting a choice between maintaining the missile shield over Israel and preserving sufficient forces for the defense of America itself. Israel’s survival against sustained Iranian ballistic-missile attacks has become increasingly dependent upon American destroyers, American radar, American THAAD batteries and a rapidly diminishing supply of American interceptors. Every inexpensive Iranian drone that rises into the sky forces Washington to answer with weapons costing millions of dollars—and those weapons cannot be instantly replaced.

For many months now, NTEB told you this would happen, warned you it was coming, and now it’s here.

That is the trap Iran has constructed, America may control the skies, but Iran controls the clock. America can destroy another radar station, missile launcher or IRGC headquarters, but Iran can deploy another small boat, mobile launcher, drone swarm or naval mine and keep the Strait of Hormuz too dangerous for normal commercial traffic. Tehran does not need to sink the United States Navy; it only needs to frighten insurance companies and shipping corporations. It does not need to invade Israel; it only needs to force America to expend a finite supply of interceptors protecting it. It does not need to win spectacularly; it only needs to make the war longer, wider and more expensive than Washington can politically, economically or militarily sustain. And speaking of traps, are you aware that Iran is right now targeting 7 US states in cyberattacks on our water systems? Iran has spent 47 years planning for this war, Trump looks like he hasn’t spent 47 minutes preparing America for this confrontation.

Iran is not ‘decimated’, they are taunting Trump with these missile systems

Iran’s Kheibar Shekan is a medium-range ballistic missile that can fly 900 miles, meaning it can threaten the entire Middle East—and beyond. The Kheibar Shekan has become the workhorse of Iran’s missile arsenal during the war with the United States. Now, U.S. officials say Iran’s attacks are growing more and more complex, and that’s making the missile even more dangerous for American troops.

This is how a superpower wins battle after battle and still loses the war. Trump’s military can bomb Iran into rubble, but it cannot bomb into existence a coherent strategy that was missing from the beginning. The Iranian government remains in power, Hormuz remains paralyzed, and Iran’s proxies remain active. China is helping Tehran rebuild its defenses. American servicemen have been killed and wounded. Gulf oil infrastructure is under attack, commercial vessels are being struck, American citizens are being warned to leave the region, and U.S. allies are openly questioning whether Washington has either the resources or the leadership necessary to bring this disaster to an acceptable conclusion. Yikes.

Donald Trump is failing in Iran, and he is failing according to the standard established by his own promises. He said Iran had been obliterated; Iran is still fighting. He said the war was nearly over; it is expanding. He said Hormuz would reopen; it remains effectively closed. He promised strength; his generals are warning of scarcity. He promised victory; America’s allies now fear strategic defeat. This war was sold as a dazzling display of American supremacy, but it has become a grinding demonstration of American vulnerability. Trump expected shock and awe to bring Iran to its knees. Instead, Iran discovered that it does not have to defeat America—it only has to survive America. The president who promised to ‘end endless wars’ is now trapped inside one of his own making, and every fresh bombing raid is becoming further evidence that the previous bombing raids failed.

Even Fox News is forced to admit now that Trump has caused a massive depletion in US missile supplies, and it is changing the course of the war with Iran. https://t.co/jeC39Lls0v

The Invasion Of Spain By Muslim Migrants Reveals How Quickly National Sovereignty Can Collapse As The Entire World Moves Toward Permanent Emergency Government

Look around you, the world is not merely experiencing a collection of unrelated crises, it is literally convulsing. The war with Iran is spreading across the Middle East, threatening the Strait of Hormuz, striking American interests and pulling nations like Jordan, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and China closer to the battlefield. In Europe, Vladimir Putin’s war in Ukraine is pressing against the borders of NATO, with missiles falling dangerously close to the tripwire that could ignite direct conflict between Russia and the West. Now Spain has watched its sovereign border buckle beneath a reported human wave of tens of thousands of Muslims pouring into Ceuta, followed by another coordinated assault against Melilla. The Middle East is burning, Eastern Europe is exploding, and Western Europe is discovering that an invasion does not always arrive behind tanks—it can come through an abandoned border while a paralyzed government stands helplessly watching.

“And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows.” Matthew 24:6–8 (KJB)

Jesus Christ warned that the closing days would be characterized by “wars and rumours of wars,” with nation rising against nation and kingdom against kingdom. That is precisely the atmosphere now gathering over this sin-cursed world. These wars are no longer contained within neat geographical boundaries. Iran strikes across the Middle East, Russia threatens the security architecture of Europe, China arms Tehran while watching Taiwan, and great movements of desperate people are being weaponized against weakened Western nations. Every border is becoming a pressure point, every military alliance a potential tripwire, and every regional conflict a possible doorway into something much larger. The world constructed after the Second World War is coming apart before our eyes, and the demons of nationalism, religious hatred, conquest and empire are coming roaring back from the grave.

Matthew 24 is doctrinally aimed at the Jewish people during the time of Jacob’s trouble, but the shadow of that coming period is already stretching across the nations. In fact, it is our position that verses 3-8 can, and do, refer to the end of ther Church Age time period. We are not yet standing in the Great Tribulation, and will be raptured out before it starts, but we are watching the scaffolding being erected for it. The military alliances are forming, the ancient enemies are awakening, national borders are disintegrating, economic systems are straining, and frightened populations are being conditioned to accept emergency rule as a permanent way of life. The coming Antichrist will not rise in a peaceful and prosperous world. He will step forward from the wreckage of a world exhausted by war, overwhelmed by migration, terrified by economic collapse and begging someone—anyone—to restore order.

That is the real prophetic significance of what is happening. Iran, Ukraine and Spain are different flashpoints, but they are all producing the same result: confusion, fear, destabilization and a growing demand for international control. Satan is preparing the sickness before presenting his counterfeit cure. First comes the chaos; then comes the man promising peace. First the nations are shaken; then the world reaches for a ruler powerful enough to control them. First comes the cry for safety; then comes the covenant that will begin Daniel’s seventieth week and lead straight into the time of Jacob’s trouble.

The world is not falling apart randomly, it is falling into prophetic alignment. The actors are taking their places, the ancient nations are moving, and the machinery of global war is grinding into motion. The Church is waiting for the Pretribulation Rapture, Israel is being prepared for the furnace, and the nations are being gathered toward judgment. The headlines are no longer whispering; they are shouting. Iran is burning, Russia is advancing, Europe’s borders are breaking, and the words of Jesus Christ are casting their unmistakable shadow over the entire world.

Now The End Begins is your front line defense against the rising tide of darkness in the last Days before the Rapture of the Church
