Israel’s skillful balancing act between superpowers is becoming too hard to sustain. Since U.S.-Russian relations started to fray following the 2014 annexation of Ukraine’s Crimea peninsula, with sanctions, diplomatic expulsions and consulate closures, Israel has worked hard not to become entangled in this confrontation.

“Then the king of Syria warred against Israel, and took counsel with his servants, saying, In such and such a place shall be my camp.”2 Kings 6:8 (KJV)

EDITOR’S NOTE: If President Trump follows through on his threat to rain down missiles on Syria, America’s biggest ally in the region Israel is going to be forced to side with them against Russia, and Russia will consequently retaliate against both the United States and Israel. Turkey, Iran and Lebanon would jump at the chance to side with Russia against their biggest enemy Israel, and in a matter of hours it could turn into a battle of Biblical proportions. And May 14th is officially now only a mere 34 days away…imagine that. 

It seemed to work until now. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu maintained Israel’s strategic alliance with the U.S. while reaching crucial understandings with a resurgent Russia that has become a dominant force in his country’s backyard.

Russian President Vladimir Putin looked the other way as Israel repeatedly attacked Iranian and regime military installations in Syria. Russia also delivered on its tacit pledge to prevent the deployment of Iranian forces and their proxies in the vicinity of the Israeli-held Golan Heights.

In exchange, Israel took a much softer line on Russia than most Western countries. Those steps ranged from declining to support a U.S.-backed United Nations resolution on Crimea in 2014 to deciding not to expel Russian diplomats when over two dozen Western countries did so in response to the use of a nerve agent against a former Russian spy in the U.K. last month.

All of this is changing now that President Donald Trump (and, likely, France) is readying major strikes against the Syrian regime to punish it for its alleged use of lethal chemical weapons in the rebel-held Douma area northeast of Damascus. With Moscow warning of grave consequences if these strikes go ahead, Israel’s bilateral understandings with the Kremlin risk being swept away by a much broader clash.

“It has definitely been a goal of Israeli policy to avoid confronting Russia on a number of issues that have been a cause of friction between Russia and the West,” said Dan Shapiro, the U.S. ambassador to Israel in 2011-2017 and currently a fellow at the Institute for National Security Studies in Tel Aviv.

“But if we see an open conflict emerge between Russia and the U.S., I don’t think Israel could afford that luxury,” he added. “Israel’s primary alliance is of course with the United States. Israel will stand beside the United States, but this would be a particularly painful vise to be caught in.”

Despite those risks, Israeli officials support the idea of meaningful U.S. military action in Syria, in part because they want to enforce red lines against any use of chemical weapons in the Middle East—and in part because they think that such a campaign may prompt Mr. Trump to reconsider his announced desire to withdraw American forces that currently secure a large part of eastern Syria.

Such a withdrawal, in Israel’s view, would be a strategic boon to its existential foe, the Iranian regime, as well as to Russia.

“As long as the Americans are there, the Iranians are worried and restrained, and once the Americans will be out there will be a problem,” said Eyal Zisser, Syria expert at Tel Aviv University.

In a way, Israel’s current predicament with Moscow is a replay of the past. The Soviet Union helped establish Israel and was the first country to bestow on it de jure diplomatic recognition, as well as getting satellite Czechoslovakia to supply it with weapons in 1948.

But American-Soviet hostility during the Cold War pushed Moscow to sever its ties with Israel and to arm and fund Israel’s Arab enemies, most notably Syria.

It was only in 1991 that the two countries resumed diplomatic relations, an event followed by the migration of over a million Soviet Jews to Israel and the flourishing of business, tourism and cultural connections.

“The current friendly relations between Russia and Israel are a deviation from the norm,” said Maxim Suchkov, a Middle East expert at the Russian International Affairs Council, a state think tank. “The current escalation over Syria can shuffle all the cards, including the Russian-Israeli ties.”

Up until now, Mr. Netanyahu’s diplomacy resulted in Russia tolerating Israel’s military activity in Syria against Iran and Iranian proxies, within well-defined limits and using a coordination mechanism to prevent mishaps.

“There are a lot of agreements and understandings. As long as Russia has no Russians hurt in Israeli actions and Israel doesn’t threaten the stability of the Assad regime, tactical deconfliction and leadership interactions make it easier,” said reserve Brig. Gen. Assaf Orion, who served until 2015 as head of strategic planning in Israel’s General Staff.

That equation, however, would change fundamentally should U.S. (and French) military action pose a material threat to the Syrian regime’s stability—and endanger Moscow’s hard-won sway in Syria.

“Netanyahu’s many visits to Moscow were great, and I am sure that his personal relations with Putin are very warm and close,” said Ksenia Svetlova, a Russian-born Israeli lawmaker. “But that doesn’t change the fact that Russia has its own ironclad interests in Syria, and that those interests are incompatible with ours.” source

Iran Posts An Apocalyptic And Cryptic Message On Social Media Showing Tel Aviv Being Targeted By A Nuclear Missile In Retaliation For Attack By Israel

Published

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

Is Iran getting ready to launch a nuclear missile on Tel Aviv in retaliation for Israel’s attack on Tehran?

Iran’s latest social media post showing a missile obliterating Tel Aviv is not just another piece of propaganda—it is a chilling glimpse into the mindset of a regime that openly dreams of wiping Israel off the map. When a nation posts imagery of a nuclear-style strike against a civilian city, it is sending a message that goes far beyond rhetoric. It is psychological warfare, intimidation, and a declaration that they see the destruction of Israel not as a tragedy, but as a victory.

“And I will set my throne in Elam, and will destroy from thence the king and the princes, saith the LORD.” Jeremiah 49:38 (KJB)

Iranian officials have repeatedly warned that if war escalates they will strike “the heart of Tel Aviv,” a threat that has been echoed in propaganda banners and social media messaging tied to the regime. In the current conflict, Iran has already launched missile barrages toward Israeli cities after strikes on Iranian territory, pushing the Middle East closer to a direct regional war than at any point in decades. The Middle East stands right now on the brink of a war that no one but Trump and Hegseth wants but likely can’t be stopped if things continue to escalate much further.

Iran threatens to nuke Israel with chilling image showing missile obliterating Tel Aviv

FROM THE UK EXPRESS: Iran has shared a chilling image of a nuclear missile striking an Israeli city, which appears to be Tel Aviv. In a post on X, the account previously belonging to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei warned that “Khorramshahr is ahead”, in reference to the ballistic missile named after the Iranian city.

Included in the post was also a striking image of the missile being developed underground, fired from a mobile launcher, and hitting what appears to be the Israeli city. In another post, the account promised consequences, “by God’s grace”, for “the Zionist regime”.

It said: “The Zionist regime has made a big mistake, and its consequences will make the regime desperate, by God’s grace.”

The city depicted in the image appears to be Tel Aviv, with an Israeli flag and coastal skyline visible. This comes after Tehran launched an overnight attack of cluster bombs targeting Tel Aviv, which were seen in shocking videos flying through the air before crashing into the ground. Huge blazes erupt as they smash into their targets, with witnesses watching on and filming the explosions. The cluster bombs open up as they zero in on their targets, sending around twenty smaller munitions flying out in a radius of roughly five miles. Each of the smaller missiles carries around 2.5kg of explosives, potentially causing huge damage.

Israel also inflicted the worst night of bombing on Tehran since the war began last weekend, launching a “broad-scale wave of strikes” aimed at wiping out the Islamic regime. The intense bombardment on Friday morning saw explosions ringing out across the city, and plumes of smoke and fire lighting up the sky. Residents said their homes shook and they were left without internet and power, plunging them into darkness. A man in his 30s told the BBC: “The house was shaking for five minutes straight. Last night was the worst night.” READ MORE

Boots On The Ground, Soaring Oil Prices, Europe Sending Nuclear Battleships And Thousands Of Americans Stranded But Trump Says Don’t Call It A War

Published

on

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

Trump and Vance promised us no new wars, and they’ve broken that promise in a spectacular end times assault on Iran and the Middle East

During the 2024 campaign, Donald Trump and JD Vance hammered a message that electrified millions of voters weary of endless Middle East entanglements: no new wars. It became a centerpiece of the America First pitch. After decades of Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, and Syria, the promise sounded like a breath of fresh air. Trump’s MAGA and QAnon followers went for it hook, line and sinker. But today, with the outbreak of what’s shaping up into a substantial war involving Iran, that campaign slogan is colliding head-on with reality.

“It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in princes.” Psalm 118:9 (KJB)

Trump and Vance told voters they would keep America out of new conflicts. Yet now the United States finds itself engaged in direct military confrontation with one of the most volatile regimes in the Middle East. Whether supporters try to frame it as a “limited operation” or critics call it a full-scale war, one thing is undeniable — the promise of “no new wars” has evaporated. This is not about partisan politics. This is about a biblical truth that Christians should have learned long ago: never put your trust in political leaders. They will let you down every time. Trump and Vance promised restraint. Now there is war with Iran. Why does this happen? Because no political leader — no matter how strong, how popular, or how sincere — has the power to override the prophetic course that God has already set for this world. Jesus Christ told us plainly what the last days would look like.

“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.” Matthew 24:6,7 (KJB)

That means no campaign slogan, no peace initiative, and no political movement can stop the trajectory of the last days. The closer we get to the end of the Church Age, the more unstable the world becomes — especially in the Middle East. And that brings us directly to Iran. From a prophetic standpoint, the Middle East will remain a powder keg because Israel sits at the center of God’s prophetic program. The Bible says that Jerusalem will become the focal point of global tension.

French President Emmanuel Macron on Tuesday ordered France’s nuclear-powered aircraft carrier to move from the Baltic Sea to the Mediterranean to help protect allied assets during the war in the Middle East. Macron said the Charles de Gaulle carrier will be escorted by frigates and its air wing. In a prerecorded speech on French TV, Macron added that Rafale fighter jets, air-defense systems and airborne radar systems have been deployed over the past few hours in the Middle East. Trump may not be calling it a war, but it looks like everybody else is.

Trump and Vance both campaigned on the slogan of ‘No More Wars!’ but that was then and this is now

FROM THE ATLANITC: If J. D. Vance promised one thing during the 2024 presidential campaign, it was that America would not enter into a war with Iran of the kind that is currently raging. “America doesn’t have to constantly police every region of the world,” Vance told the comedian Tim Dillon on his podcast. He continued: “Our interest, I think very much, is in not going to war with Iran. It would be a huge distraction of resources. It would be massively expensive to our country.” In another podcast interview, with Shawn Ryan, in September 2024, Vance even said that a war between Israel and Iran was in fact “the most likely and most dangerous scenario” for provoking World War III.

These arguments look farcical now that President Trump has chosen—months after bombing Iran’s nuclear facilities and pronouncing its enrichment efforts “completely and totally obliterated”—to join Israel in launching a war on the Islamic Republic. The ensuing conflagration now involves a dozen countries in the Middle East. Trump says that he will do “whatever it takes” militarily and that “wars can be fought ‘forever.’” Vance’s X account, normally hyperactive, went silent in the days after bombs began falling on Saturday morning. The vice president was not at Mar-a-Lago with Trump as he oversaw the attack. The administration instead released a photo of him running a secondary meeting at the White House, flanked by a can of Diet Mountain Dew and a sullen-looking Tulsi Gabbard, the director of national intelligence.

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

The Miami Correctional Facility in Indiana needs King James and Spanish Bibles for their thousands of inmates and ICE detainees

The Miami Correctional Facility, situated near Bunker Hill, Indiana, on the grounds of the Grissom Joint Air Reserve Base, was established in 1998 as a state prison. This facility accommodates adult males and includes inmates with high, medium, and minimum-security classifications. Miami is the largest prison in Indiana, boasting a capacity to house 3,188 prisoners when at full occupancy, including ICE detainees. Man, oh man, if you’re looking for fertile ground to start planting the seeds of the gospel, this is it.

But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.” Matthew 13:8,9 (KJB)

Chaplain Blair writes: “Our incarcerated population is currently about 1000 listed as General Christian or Catholic.  We offer services each week lead by Chaplains and/or outside volunteers.  Offenders are able to attend multiple times per week and often request bibles for personal use. Our ICE detainee population is about 400 General Christian or Catholic.  Services are ran to match the incarcerated population (citizens legally incarcerated). We are a level 3 / level 4 prison, meaning we are classified as medium-high to high security.  Most of the population are between the ages of 20-40. All religious materials we as Chaplains can distribute must come from outside donations from organizations like yours.” Christian, can you get excited by all this? Here is our opportunity to send the preserved word of God into a facility filled to overflowing with Catholics, ICE detainees and Christian and non-Christian inmates. Talk about going into all the world with the gospel. Bibles Behind Bars was raised up for this exact purpose, for such a time as this. Come help us to keep the supply lines open at the Miami Correctional Facility!
