God’s Promises, Personal or National?

2 07 2026

Freedom over tyranny is the foundation of America’s Independence Day celebration. Our revolution and France’s are day and night apart in principle. We fought tyranny and established Bible based liberty, but the French launched anarchy. We still enjoy the wonderful “land of the free” although there are storm clouds of anarchy around us. Believers find great solace in the promises of God for our personal lives, but what about national promises? This week as I meditate on freedom, let me share a text from Biblical King Asa. He was a godly king who tore down idols and called on Yehovah. Here he appeals for God’s help when facing a hopeless battle against a major Ethiopian invasion. This led to a national victory.

“Then Asa called to Yehovah his God and said, “Yehovah , there is no one besides You to help in the battle between the powerful and those who have no strength; help us, Yehovah our God, for we trust in You, and in Your name have come against this multitude. Yehovah , You are our God; do not let man prevail against You.” 2 Chronicles 14:11 NASB20

King Asa humbled himself and turned to God because he recognized that God’s character was to help the helpless. Asa had no other hope and he trusted God. He also saw that the invaders were actually opposing God Himself! When a nation honors Yehovah God, He takes an enemy attack as an attack on Himself, and His purpose for His nation. His protection and help apply to any nation that follows His will. A prophet came to the King and gave a profound revelation with a binding promise.

“Now the Spirit of God came on Azariah the son of Oded, and he went out to meet Asa and said to him, “Listen to me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin: Yehovah is with you when you are with Him. And if you seek Him, He will let you find Him; but if you abandon Him, He will abandon you. For many days Israel was without the true God and without a teaching priest and without the Law. But in their distress they turned to Yehovah God of Israel, and they sought Him, and He let them find Him.” 2 Chronicles 15:1-4 NASB20

He is with you when you are with Him.
Seek Him and you will find Him.
Abandon Him and He will abandon you.
In distress, turn to Yehovah God of Israel.
They sought Him and He let them find Him.

From this it is clear that finding God is connected to seeking Him. If you do that, He will let you find Him! This is so true on a personal level, but it also applies to nations. For generations, the so-called Western nations have been blessed because they based their nations on God. This was especially true of the United States. We know they refused the taxation of England, but more fundamentally they sought religious freedom to worship Yehovah. Nations are not blessed according to race, any race is blessed when they find God. This is seen in the restoration of Israel because of God’s eternal covenant with His chosen people. The principle of “Seek Him and He will LET you find Him,” applies to any nation or people who seek God.

Therefore we must continually seek Yehovah and Messiah Yeshua for our salvation and peace. “What joy for the nation whose God is Yehovah whose people he has chosen as his inheritance.” Psalm 33:12 NLT

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem and the United States of America! Happy Fourth of July!

Peace Deal or Not, Only God is God

18 06 2026

This is my view. President Trump is not God. Only God is God; and I am speaking of Yehovah, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Allah is not God, but only a pagan desert god that was elevated by Mohammed. I have been a faithful supporter of President Trump’s policy and his extraordinary support of Israel. I believe God raised him up “for such a time as this” as a Cyrus. However, this new Iran deal is the opposite of his record. Maybe it is a head fake with a trap for Iran, but it does not look good. Trump has been sounding more and more like Nebuchadnezzar:

“The king spoke, saying, “Is not this great Babylon, that I have built for a royal dwelling by my mighty power and for the honor of my majesty? While the word was still in the king’s mouth, a voice fell from heaven: “King Nebuchadnezzar, to you it is spoken: the kingdom has departed from you!” Daniel 4:30-31

President Trump is treading on dangerous ground. My prayer continues that he will “hear from God, and have courage to do the right thing, in the right timing.” Our president can do nothing without God.

Notice the picture today. There has been no regime change. This is the same Islamist jihadi ideology for 47 years. The picture leaves out one other high Iranian regime official, Abbas Araghchi, the Minister of Foreign Affairs. He assumed his role on August 21, 2024. All of those pictured are first level. Only the Ayatollah’s son is second level and he has not been seen since the war started in February. President Trump is wrong when he says he is dealing with a third regime. These are exact same leaders from before the war started. These first level leaders were also there before the war: Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi – Esmail Qaani: Commander of the IRGC’s Quds Force – Esmail Baghaei: Spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs – Ahmad Vahidi: Commander-in-Chief of IRGC (since March 1). They are all top level, regime has not changed!

President Trump looked good when he was doing what the Holy Spirit led. But, when he veers away from Yehovah’s plan, he is exposed as only a man. I like this saying: ” When you and the Holy Spirit arrive at the same place at the same time, it makes you look good.” You better not make the mistake of thinking it is you or your brilliance that accomplished anything.

“Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall. Better to be of a humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud.” Proverbs 16:18-19

Remember Jesus own words, even though He was the Messiah Yeshua, He gave all the glory to the Father God. All the miracles and supernatural works that He did were not in his human ability, but by the power of the Holy Spirit. If it was true for Jesus, it is much more the fact with President Trump, and for you and me.

“Then Jesus answered and said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees the Father do; for whatever He does, the Son also does in like manner. For the Father loves the Son, and shows Him all things that He Himself does; and He will show Him greater works than these, that you may marvel. … “I can of Myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is righteous, because I do not seek My own will but the will of the Father who sent Me.” John 5:19-20 and John 5:30.

By the way, I am sticking to the prophecy of Jeremiah 49:34-39. I have been writing about this prophecy since February 19th before the war and in several articles since then. I don’t know how we get there, but I trust God’s word more than any man. As long as President Trump stands with Israel he and our nation will be blessed. But, if he turns against Israel, then woe to our land. Pray for President Trump! And pray for the peace of Jerusalem!

What’s Up with Pres. Trump?

4 06 2026

Man kneeling on a cushion praying with Israeli and American flags behind him

People all over the political spectrum are freaking out about Iran delays. Anti-war folks are upset. Free Iran folks are upset. Even the middle ground is shaking. Believers are facing a strong temptation to give up on President Trump. That is a mistake. Of course, we should never fully trust any man. “Trust but verify” applies to leaders as well as treaties. Only God is perfectly faithful and true, but He still uses men.

“Do not put your trust in princes, Nor in a son of man, in whom there is no help. His spirit departs, he returns to his earth; In that very day his plans perish. Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in Yehovah his God,” Psalm 146:3-5

“Now I know that Yehovah saves His anointed; He will answer him from His holy heaven with the saving strength of His right hand. Some trust in chariots, and some in horses; But we will remember the name of Yehovah our God.” Psalm 20:6-7

So, we trust God that He has raised up this president for “such a time as this” to carry out God’s plan. Trump is a man and will not always get it right. But the overall trajectory is in the hand of Yehovah God. He is able to give us course corrections in the middle of battle. I find this true in my own life! That’s why I pray for our president to “hear from God, have courage, and do the right thing in God’s timing.” Remember the complete change in wicked King Nebuchadnezzar at the end of his life.

They shall drive you from men, your dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field, and they shall make you eat grass like oxen. They shall wet you with the dew of heaven, and seven times shall pass over you, till you know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and gives it to whomever He chooses. All the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing; He does according to His will in the army of heaven and among the inhabitants of the earth. No one can restrain His hand or say to Him, “What have You done?” At the same time my reason returned to me, and for the glory of my kingdom, my honor and splendor returned to me. My counselors and nobles resorted to me, I was restored to my kingdom, and excellent majesty was added to me. Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and extol and honor the King of heaven, all of whose works are truth, and His ways justice. And those who walk in pride He is able to put down.” Daniel 4:25, 35-37

Don’t panic and become a “sky is falling” panican. Calm down and rest in God. He has already told us His plan in Jeremiah 49:34-39. Don’t put your trust in man, especially the propaganda news. Stick with Scripture, the comfort of the Holy Spirit, and Yeshua, the Prince of Peace and our Messiah!

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!

Ten Commands or Ten Suggestions?

21 05 2026

Today at sundown is the Biblical feast of Shavuot/Pentecost. Jews celebrate receiving the Ten Commandments and Christians celebrate it as Pentecost. Both are the work of God. One is external and the other is internal. Do you remember this sermon topic, in the above title, warning us to take the ten commandments seriously?

Then we realized how hard it is to “keep the law.” Our problem is our own sinful rebellious nature. It is in our DNA. We really don’t want to keep the law of God. What if I told you that God planned a solution for our dilemma? The external commands were written on stone by the finger of Yehovah God, but the internal law is written on our hearts by the Holy Spirit of God. Both are from God. The Law was given to teach us about our inability to keep the law. It makes clear to us that we cannot make it without the Messiah. When God writes His law on our hearts we change from rebellious failure to actually desiring to follow Him. Our heart changes from obligation to alignment with His will. It makes all the difference. The Law is “our tutor that brings us to Christ/Messiah.”

“Is the law then against the promises of God? Certainly not! For if there had been a law given which could have given life, truly righteousness would have been by the law. But the Scripture has confined all under sin, that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe. But before faith came, we were kept under guard by the law, kept for the faith which would afterward be revealed. Therefore the law was our tutor to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith.” Galatians 3:21-24

“clearly you are an epistle of Christ, ministered by us, written not with ink but by the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of flesh, that is, of the heart.“ 2 Corinthians 3:3

“For as many as have sinned without law will also perish without law, and as many as have sinned in the law will be judged by the law (for not the hearers of the law are just in the sight of God, but the doers of the law will be justified; for when Gentiles, who do not have the law, by nature do the things in the law, these, although not having the law, are a law to themselves, who show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness,” Romans 2:12-15

So, you see that we can keep the ten commandments by aligning our hearts with His Holy Spirit and believing in the Messiah.

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!

National Sabbath and Rededication

14 05 2026

Rededicate 250: A National Jubilee of Prayer, Praise & Thanksgiving – This weekend our nation declares our heritage of one nation under God. President Trump has proclaimed a national Sabbath remembrance from sundown Friday to sundown Saturday. Our entire country is called to prayer for our land. This is followed by a call for Americans to gather on the National Mall in DC for a day of prayer and rededication of our national motto: “In God We Trust.” One lady from our Wake Forest Issachar Forum is representing our group on Sunday. We should all align ourselves with this holy purpose. Wherever you are this weekend set aside a time to join millions of Americans rededicating this God ordained republic to His Almighty providential care.

Today is Jerusalem Day in Israel, celebrating the reunification of Jerusalem 59 years ago in 1967. Also, this weekend is the 78th anniversary of the supernatural rebirth of the nation of Israel in 1948. These celebrations are in the context of war with Iran and President Trump’s meeting with President Xi in China. Of course, Israel’s war with Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon are also coming to a decisive point. All of these events fit precisely into the prophetic blueprint of Ezekiel 38. I have previously detailed the seven peace references in that chapter. All of these global events are coming together for a time of peace before the Gog and Magog war. Even China is at place of needing peace for a season before they resume their global conquest goals. Our nation has been blessed because we were founded on the Bible and a Judeo/Christian foundation. We bless Israel and therefore we are blessed. Yehovah God has a plan of favor for Israel and we are part of it!

“For thus says the Lord Yehovah: “Indeed I Myself will search for My sheep and seek them out. As a shepherd seeks out his flock on the day he is among his scattered sheep, so will I seek out My sheep and deliver them from all the places where they were scattered on a cloudy and dark day. And I will bring them out from the peoples and gather them from the countries, and will bring them to their own land; I will feed them on the mountains of Israel, in the valleys and in all the inhabited places of the country. I will feed them in good pasture, and their fold shall be on the high mountains of Israel. There they shall lie down in a good fold and feed in rich pasture on the mountains of Israel. I will feed My flock, and I will make them lie down,” says the Lord Yehovah. “I will seek what was lost and bring back what was driven away, bind up the broken and strengthen what was sick; but I will destroy the fat and the strong, and feed them in judgment.” Ezekiel 34:11-16

Four day pride festival to be held at Dead Sea, largest in history of Middle East – “Pride Land is not just another festival,” said the main producer and initiator of the festival, Aaron Cohen, “it’s the biggest thing we’ve done here.” Alongside the nightlife, Pride Land will have cultural and art complexes, relaxation and scenic areas, and family-friendly areas with children’s activities, family-friendly workshops, and customized events.

So even now the enemy of our holy God is trying to sabotage God’s blessings on Israel. We need to be in much prayer that it will fail. One of the elements of the Oct. 7 massacre was the Nova festival featuring a huge image of a false god. The battle is not flesh and blood but spiritual wickedness in high places, or in this case the lowest point on earth, adjacent to the Biblical judgement of Sodom and Gomorrah. A LGBTQ pride festival celebrating immoral perversion is scheduled there for June 1-4.

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem! Pray against the enemy. Stand with Israel and pray for both of our nations to return to the God of our fathers!

Mark Twain in the Bible?

7 05 2026

How does the most authenticated book in history keep revealing present day history with such accuracy? Most of my life I have been fascinated by the amazing prophesies fulfilled, especially the restoration of Israel. I love Psalm 102, the Holocaust Psalm, and Ezekiel 36, which tells of God’s unconditional promise to the land of Israel. But is it possible that Mark Twain fulfilled a prophecy? His book, Innocents Abroad, detailed his experiences visiting the Holy Land in 1867. He was “the foreigner!”

“so that the coming generation of your children who rise up after you, and the foreigner who comes from a far land, would say, when they see the plagues of that land and the sicknesses which Yehovah has laid on it: ‘The whole land is brimstone, salt, and burning; it is not sown, nor does it bear, nor does any grass grow there, like the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim, which Yehovah overthrew in His anger and His wrath.’” Deuteronomy 29:22-23

Mark Twain is that “foreigner” from a far land. His role was to document the devastation and utter destruction of Israel. This was because of the 400 years of rule by the Muslim Ottoman Empire based in Turkey. They intentionally destroyed the land even to the extreme of taxing every tree, causing most of the trees to be cut down to save on taxes. But when you visit Israel today it is once again a land flowing with milk and honey. This restoration means so much more when compared to the desert conditions 160 years ago. God is faithful.

“All nations would say, ‘Why has Yehovah done so to this land? What does the heat of this great anger mean?’ Then people would say: ‘Because they have forsaken the covenant of Yehovah God of their fathers, which He made with them when He brought them out of the land of Egypt; for they went and served other gods and worshiped them, gods that they did not know and that He had not given to them.” Deuteronomy 29:24-26

“You will say then, “Branches were broken off that I might be grafted in.” Well said. Because of unbelief they were broken off, and you stand by faith. Do not be haughty, but fear. For if God did not spare the natural branches, He may not spare you either. Therefore consider the goodness and severity of God: on those who fell, severity; but toward you, goodness, if you continue in His goodness. Otherwise you also will be cut off. And they also, if they do not continue in unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again. For if you were cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and were grafted contrary to nature into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these, who are natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?” Romans 11:19-24

But the good news is that after nearly 2,000 years of scattering among the nations, Israel is back! And the reason is to prove that God keeps His word. None of us deserve is mercy and forgiveness, but He loves Israel and He loves us so much that He offers total forgiveness and restoration. Israel is the proof of His mercy and lovingkindness.

“The desolate land shall be tilled instead of lying desolate in the sight of all who pass by. So they will say, ‘This land that was desolate has become like the garden of Eden; and the wasted, desolate, and ruined cities are now fortified and inhabited.’ Then the nations which are left all around you shall know that I, Yehovah, have rebuilt the ruined places and planted what was desolate. I, Yehovah, have spoken it, and I will do it.” Ezekiel 36:34-36

God is Faithful! Pray for the peace of Jerusalem.

Save Nigerian Christians

30 04 2026

“GLOBAL FLOTILLA! …to save Nigerian Christians – contact Greta Thunberg” (My attempt at satire). This is ridiculous! Seriously though, we need to pray for Nigerian believers who are experiencing a true genocide from Muslim terrorists. At this very time Israel has seized 20 ships and boats from a “Gaza flotilla” led by Greta Thunberg. Where is her outcry for the truly oppressed Nigerians?

The picture with this article is an AI generated concept of Greta in a jungle rowboat. It is tragic humor designed to illustrate the insanity of her futile efforts to “save Gaza” from a “famine” and her complete ignoring of Nigeria.

Navy detains over 20 flotilla ships, 175 activists en route to Gaza Strip – Jerusalem Post

UN-backed data undercuts viral Gaza famine claims as child malnutrition falls – Fox News

Over 50,000 Christians killed in Nigeria by Islamist extremists – According to the report “Martyred Christians in Nigeria” issued by Intersociety, over the past 14 years at least 52,250 Nigerian Christians have been brutally murdered at the hands of Islamist militants.

Meanwhile, the massacres in Nigeria do not stop. We must pray for the Christians of that country and other persecuted followers of Jesus around the world. There is a saying in Israel regarding the Muslim jihadi terrorists. “First the Saturday people, and then the Sunday people”. This is tragically true. Jews and Christians are forever linked by our common belief in Yehovah, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. The faith of Abraham in the promise of the Messiah is shared by believing Christians. The difference about who that Messiah actually is will be resolved by God Himself. Our common Judeo/Christian heritage locks us together in the defense of the Almighty Creator God who is the one and only true God. Our allegiance to Yehovah and His Messiah places a target on our backs. The battle is ultimately a spiritual battle between God and Satan, good and evil as declared in Ephesians 6. My view of the union of Jews and Christians is expressed quite clearly by the apostle Paul in Ephesians 2 in the Hebrew Names Version.

“Therefore remember that once you, the Goyim in the flesh, who are called “uncircumcision” by that which is called “circumcision,” (in the flesh, made by hands); that you were at that time separate from Messiah, alienated from the commonwealth of Yisra’el, and strangers from the covenants of the promise, having no hope and without God in the world. But now in Messiah Yeshua you who once were far off are made near in the blood of Messiah. For he is our shalom, who made both one, and broke down the middle wall of partition, having abolished in the flesh the hostility, the law of mitzvot contained in ordinances, that he might create in himself one new man of the two, making shalom; and might reconcile them both in one body to God through the cross, having killed the hostility thereby. He came and preached shalom to you who were far off and to those who were near. For through him we both have our access in one Spirit to the Father. So then you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but you are fellow citizens with the holy ones, and of the household of God, being built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Messiah Yeshua himself being the chief cornerstone; in whom the whole building, fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord; in whom you also are built together for a habitation of God in the Spirit.” Ephesians 2:11-22 HNV

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem and Nigeria.

Modern Israel: Fraud or Miracle?

23 04 2026

Sunrays break through clouds above terraced hills and a village with a person standing on a dirt path

Is the restoration of Israel a fraud, or is it a miracle between Israel and God? Bible prophets are consistent in predicting an end time revival of the nation of Israel. Today, Biblically illiterate podcasters mock the promises of God regarding Israel. Ezekiel was quite clear explaining that this miracle would happen following the severe judgement of God on Israel for their sin.

“Son of man, when the house of Israel dwelt in their own land, they defiled it by their own ways and deeds; to Me their way was like the uncleanness of a woman in her customary impurity. Therefore I poured out My fury on them for the blood they had shed on the land, and for their idols with which they had defiled it. So I scattered them among the nations, and they were dispersed throughout the countries; I judged them according to their ways and their deeds.” Ezekiel 36:17-19

This chapter of Ezekiel is the foundation of my book: Speak to the Dirt! First, you must take his prophecy literally. Second, notice that Israel was dispersed throughout the countries. This eliminates all previous exiles of Israel. This 1,800 year “diaspora” is the only one to all the countries. Third, their resurrection as a nation depends on the faithfulness of Yehovah God. Because He revealed His plan to many Biblical prophets, the very integrity of His own word is at stake. If He does not restore Israel, God Himself is a fraud. The faithful nature of God is on the line.

“God is not a man, that He should lie, nor a son of man, that He should repent. Has He said, and will He not do? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?” Numbers 23:19

“…in hope of eternal life which God, who cannot lie, promised before time began…” Titus 1:2

“Thus God, determining to show more abundantly to the heirs of promise the immutability of His counsel, confirmed it by an oath, that by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we might have strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold of the hope set before us.” Hebrews 6:17-18

“Israel is a nation that defies all logic, and that drives the nations mad. When people cannot understand strength, they look for excuses: it must be fraud. There must be some dark trick that gives the Jews this kind of power. Jews control this, Jews control that. Antisemitism. Heaven forbid—this cannot be real, Israel must be cheating! Because if Israel is real, if this ancient and hated people is still alive, then perhaps God is not a myth after all. Perhaps evil does not get the final word. Perhaps the people of Israel are not just a people, but a testimony. So they deny Israel. They slander Israel. They fight Israel in anger. Because it is easier to call a miracle a fraud than to admit a relationship between Israel and God.” Aviel Schneider, Editor of Israel Today

So, we are left with two options. Either God Himself is a fraud and a liar, or He faithful to fulfill His promises to restore Israel. Personally, I am going to stick with the Bible as the word of God.

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem and than God for Israel!

Dayenu: It Would Have Been Enough

16 04 2026

Profound lessons can come from simple songs. A traditional song at Passover (Dayenu – lyrics) is repeated every year by Jews (and by some Christian Zionists) all over the world. It has been especially sweet this week as my wife and I have been realizing how overwhelmingly blessed we have been. At each milestone we could say it would have been enough, but God keeps blessing. It is undeserved, but we are so thankful. As we enter the last third (from 80-120) of our lives, we face the inevitable issues of later life. Growing old is not for sissies, they say. Yet, our eyes are on Jesus, our Messiah.

“Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.” Hebrews 12:1-2

We are reminded of being thankful for the little things, and also the big blessings. It matters what you believe. Living with faith in God makes a difference! We live in a dysfunctional world of fear foreboding. Confusion, deception, and detachment haunt most people today. But when we count our blessings compared to what we actually deserve, our cup “runneth over.” There is a hidden revelation in a familiar verse in the prophet Daniel.

“Those who do wickedly against the covenant he shall corrupt with flattery; but the people who know their God shall be strong, and carry out great exploits.” Daniel 11:32

Interestingly, the last two words “great exploits” are not in the Hebrew text. The Hebrew for “carry out” is simply translated as “do” or “act.” In other words, it is not so much about doing great things, but simply being functional in a dysfunctional world. Some in our day are cowering in fear and dread. Put your hope in God! The sky is not falling. Do not panic. Trust in God. He never fails. We who know God will be strong and functional. The contrast, with those who have no faith, will draw them to the light of God. Historically, the greatest revivals come at times of great stress. Let your light shine. Candles are for dark places.

Are you a moth or a cockroach? When you turn on a light, moths are drawn to the light, but cockroaches scurry away to find a dark place to hide. Come to the light! Jesus is the light of the world. Don’t be dysfunctional. Live in the grace of God.

“You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; My cup runs over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me All the days of my life; and I will dwell in the house of Yehovah forever.” Psalm 23:5-6

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!

Present Times Prophecy

12 03 2026

End times prophecy is different than present times prophecy. Some scholars are trying to figure out all the beasts, and trumpets, and earthquakes, and wars, and timing of future events. That may be an appropriate lane for them, but I love finding prophetic promises that are being fulfilled in the present time. For some time now I have been excited to discover what I call “This is that!” moments.

It is when we discover a prophecy from thousands of years ago being fulfilled in our day. On the day of Pentecost, Peter saw the outpouring of God’s Spirit and recognized it was the exact fulfillment of the prophet Joel’s prophecy in Joel 2:28-32. Peter then quoted five verses from Joel as proof that what was happening came from God.

“But Peter, standing up with the eleven, raised his voice and said to them, “Men of Judea and all who dwell in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and heed my words. For these are not drunk, as you suppose, since it is only the third hour of the day. But this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel.” Joel 2:14-16

We see the same today. Peter did not prophesy, he recognized the ancient prophecy. We are capable of the same. I have shared several of these exciting moments of history. Psalm 102 describes the Holocaust and then declares that it signaled the restoration of Israel which happened in the same time frame of 1940-1948. Psalm 83 describes Arab nations attacking Israel and losing, which occurred in the first 50 years of modern Israel. In Luke 21:24 Jesus prophesied the downfall and restoration of Jerusalem which happened in 70AD and 1967, respectively. Amos saw three wars from Gaza and a fourth which would be their end in Amos 1:6-7. which specifically relates to the Gaza/Hamas War. Lately, we recognize Jeremiah 49:34-39 being precisely fulfilled in the current Iran war today! Yehovah God has a purpose for prophecy. It is not to confuse us or cause fear, but to bring comfort, knowing that He is directly involved.

“Prophecy was not delivered to academic elites. It was given to shepherds, farmers, merchants, elders, young converts, and small congregations navigating real-world pressures. It was never meant to intimidate believers. It was meant to steady them. God does not reveal the future to confuse His people. Throughout Scripture, prophecy functions as preparation, warning, and comfort. When God speaks about what is coming, He does so because He wants His people to be ready, not rattled. Amos wrote, “Surely the Lord God does nothing, unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets” (Amos 3:7). Jesus told His disciples, “See, I have told you beforehand” (Matthew 24:25). Later He added, “These things I have told you before they come, that when they do come to pass, you may believe” (John 14:29). Prophecy strengthens faith by removing surprise. When events unfold exactly as spoken, belief is reinforced rather than shaken. Isaiah records the Lord declaring, “I am God… declaring the end from the beginning” (Isaiah 46:9-10). The future is not unfolding randomly. It is unfolding according to divine decree.” Christian News Watch

Fear not! God has everything under control according to His Divine purpose. Jesus promised He would never leave us or forsake us. Hang in there. Be encouraged when you see God performing His word. He has a plan and He will complete it according to His eternal word. Trust God! Biblical events are happening!

“Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near.” Luke 21:28

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem and pray that God’s people will see His hand on Israel, Iran, and the nations.

God’s Throne in Iran

5 03 2026

What is God doing in Iran? The war news is full of bombs and explosions that make for must-watch TV. But this is not your typical war. As I have explained the last few weeks, this is a major historical turning point when viewed through Jeremiah 49. Today I want to zoom in on God’s purpose in verse 38. So far, the extremely low number of casualties is nothing short of miraculous. Americans are understandably concerned, but I believe this is a short war that will see amazing success.

“I will set My throne in Elam, and will destroy from there the king and the princes,’ says Yehovah.” Jeremiah 49:38

For several years now we have seen reports of three million or more Iranians turning from Islam to Jesus. Iran has the fastest growing church in the world, in spite of meeting underground. This verse predicted the destruction of the king (ayatollah) and his princes (IRGC). We have already seen the “king” destroyed and the IRGC is being destroyed day by day. (By the way, IRGC is “Islamic” Revolutionary Guard Corp, not “Iranian.”)

The great promise of Yehovah God through Jeremiah is to establish His throne in Iran (Elam). Of course, He is not moving His physical throne from Jerusalem, but He is being enthroned in the hearts of Iranians as each person chooses the God of Israel. This will also necessarily lead to a great relationship between Iran and Israel. Also, most Arab nations will join the Abraham Accords, including Saudi Arabia. My opinion is that the Iranian Crown Prince will lead a transitional government and elections for leaders chosen legally by vote of the Iranian people.

Once again God manifests His faithfulness to keep every promise in His Word. God is faithful and never breaks His covenant, from salvation to His presence, every promise made is fulfilled in His perfect timing.

“Not a word failed of any good thing which Yehovah had spoken to the house of Israel. All came to pass.” Joshua 21:45

“If we are faithless, He remains faithful; He cannot deny Himself.” 2 Timothy 2:13

“The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.” 2 Peter 2:9

Don’t fear the outcome of this Iran war. God is establishing His throne! Pray for the Iranians that they will see their Messiah and turn from pagan Islam to the living God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem and pray for President Trump and PM Netanyahu for wisdom and courage to do the right thing.

Trump’s Iran Timeline

19 02 2026

President Trump has given several indications of his timeline, but does the Bible agree? When he met with Bibi Dec 29th in Mar-A-Largo they spoke of a “two month timeline.” Today he spoke of a ten day window. Both refer to action by the end of this month. On Jan 4th I spoke at Grace Assembly on: “Turning the Page.” I believe we are at global prophetic turning point at the scale of the fall of the Berlin wall, the 1948 return of the state of Israel, and the Israeli capture of old Jerusalem in the 1967 Six Day War. Eliminating Iran and its terrorist proxies will usher in an extraordinary time of peace for Israel and the Middle East. But I don’t conclude that from geo-political events, but rather from the Bible.

For some time I have seen this coming season of peace from the conditions Ezekiel revealed about Israel dwelling “without walls” at the time of the Gog & Magog invasion of Ezekiel 38. The removal of Iran as a threat to Israel and the region is necessary to meet Ezekiel’s description. Recently I have seen a clear prophecy of Iran in Jeremiah 49:34-39.

“Judgment on Elam – 34 The word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah the prophet against Elam, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, saying, 35 “Thus says the LORD of hosts: ‘Behold, I will break the bow of Elam, The foremost of their might. 36 Against Elam I will bring the four winds From the four quarters of heaven, And scatter them toward all those winds; There shall be no nations where the outcasts of Elam will not go. 37 For I will cause Elam to be dismayed before their enemies And before those who seek their life. I will bring disaster upon them, My fierce anger,’ says the LORD; ‘And I will send the sword after them Until I have consumed them. 38 I will set My throne in Elam, And will destroy from there the king and the princes,’ says the LORD. 39 ‘But it shall come to pass in the latter days: I will bring back the captives of Elam,’ says the LORD.”

Here is a very short overview. First, note that Elam refers to the whole nation of Iran (scroll down to the Gesenius’ Hebrew-Chaldee lexicon entry). Second, note that the verses are chronological beginning with v. 35, the overthrow of the Shah in 1979, followed by Iranians exiled to all countries in v.36. These two events have happened. Verse 37 brings us to the present where evil leaders will be consumed by the sword which is sent by Yehovah Himself. Also during this time God sets His throne there. You have probably heard reports that three million or more Iranians have turned to Jesus, giving Him the throne over their lives. One report said that there may be more Christians now in Iran than Muslims. The last verse then declares the return of the exiles and that it occurs in the “last days.” Hallelujah!

This is happening soon. It may not be in ten days, but it is God’s plan. Pray for protection for the Iranian freedom lovers, Israel, our U.S forces, and the surrounding nations.

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!

Last Nation Standing

12 02 2026

The Bible has the final say, or specifically, Yehovah has the final say. We think we are in control, but in the end God wins! For thousands of years many nations have risen to eliminate Israel yet they have passed into history and Israel stands. It will be the same in our day. They are fighting against God. He established Israel and He gave them their land. He ordained that they would produce the Messiah and He would be the Savior of the world for all who accept Him.

Prime Minister Netanyahu had a quick visit in DC yesterday and cancelled his return visit next week. He will now speak to AIPAC remotely. We are likely on cusp of the major defeat of Iran’s Islamic regime at the hands of America and Israel. This fits into God’s plan and His revealed purpose. My friend Ken Schulte shared this verse with me this morning. Consider its profound meaning.

“But do not fear, O My servant Jacob, and do not be dismayed, O Israel! For behold, I will save you from afar, and your offspring from the land of their captivity; Jacob shall return, have rest and be at ease; No one shall make him afraid. Do not fear, O Jacob My servant,” says Yehovah, “For I am with you; for I will make a complete end of all the nations to which I have driven you, But I will not make a complete end of you. I will rightly correct you, for I will not leave you wholly unpunished.” Jeremiah 46:27-28

God will make an end of the nations but not Israel, even though they will face correction. I don’t know about you, but I’m going to stand with God who stands with Israel. For some unknown reason I have had over 140 views this week of a post that I wrote in 2012 in which I quoted Amos 9. It goes right along with Jeremiah’s word.

“Behold, the days are coming,” says Yehovah, “When the plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes him who sows seed; the mountains shall drip with sweet wine, And all the hills shall flow with it. I will bring back the captives of My people Israel; They shall build the waste cities and inhabit them; They shall plant vineyards and drink wine from them; They shall also make gardens and eat fruit from them. I will plant them in their land, and no longer shall they be pulled up from the land I have given them,” Says Yehovah your God. Amos 9:14-15.

NO LONGER shall they be pulled up from the THEIR LAND that God gave them! Yes, they have been exiled and returned numerous times in history, but the time comes when they will never again be uprooted. All nations rise and fall but Israel is eternal! Israel is the real deal. Are they perfect? Of course not. That is why God says He will correct them rightly or justly. But they will stand! I especially like this ESV translation of Amos 9.

“I will plant them on their land, and they shall never again be uprooted out of the land that I have given them,” says Yehovah your God.” Amos 9:15 ESV

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!

Disturbing the Peace?

5 02 2026

What ever happened to “disturbing the peace”? Minneapolis protests make a lot of noise. What if they gave fines to anyone disturbing the peace? Horns honking, whistles blowing, banging on pans, cursing, and amplified bull horns does not sound peaceful. Regardless of the cause of the day, shouldn’t the police enforce noise ordinances? Our traditional laws and guidelines have been unenforced to such a degree that we really don’t have laws anymore. Lawlessness is threatening our peace. A simple noise ordinance enforced would go a long way in returning peace to our streets.

“Even so you also outwardly appear righteous to men, but inside you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.” Matthew 23:28 “And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold.” Matthew 24:12

These are the words of Jesus. Virtue signaling is revealed by the lawlessness that is part of the package. Our constitution guarantees the right of peaceful assembly, but when you remove the peaceful part you step into lawlessness. Civil disobedience is accepted but submits to arrest and consequences. Today’s “protestors” are rebellious rioters and violators of the peace. But there is a further point here. Disturbing the peace is also an attack on the spiritual promises of peace given by God. He promises perfect peace.

“Open the gates, that the righteous nation which keeps the truth may enter in. You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You. Trust in Yehovah forever, For in YAH, Yehovah, is everlasting strength.” Isaiah 26:2-4

The phrase “perfect peace” in English is quite revealing in the original Hebrew. It is shalom, shalom! The word shalom is repeated. The English translators chose to render it as “perfect peace.” I like to think of it as shalom squared or shalom times shalom. Either way, it is an extraordinary peace. When our culture breaks down into lawlessness, many are disturbed and may even lose their peace out of fear and confusion. But our God promised us His perfect peace even in the storms of life. It is known by believers as a supernatural calm or peace even in hard times. Doreen and I experienced that peace when our house burned down in 2001.

“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:6-7

I have my own paraphrase of peace that surpasses understanding. I call it peace that doesn’t make sense. When the circumstances justify losing it, but you have this inner calm, this knowing that God is with you no matter what. Logically you should freak out, but the Holy Spirit of God says: “It will be okay. I saw this coming, and I have a plan for you!” Hallelujah! I hope you have found this peace in the Messiah Yeshua.

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem and especially for our leaders to hear from God, have courage, and do the right thing regarding Iran.

Jerusalem is Surrounded

22 01 2026

The attention of the nations is directed to Jerusalem more than ever. Yet Yehovah God sits enthroned in the heavens above man’s petty plans. Man sees wars, religion, economic trade, political controversy and just problems in general. But above this God has a purpose from before creation to raise up a people and a nation for His own name. He chose them for blessing, not only for themselves, but for the nations. The enemy has fought against His plan from the Garden of Eden. Will Satan win? Of course not! Through all this God has been calling and reaching out to humans to enter into relationship with Him. Therefore He will not give up. He will protect His investment. This is what He says in Scripture.

“Those who trust in Yehovah are like Mount Zion, which cannot be moved, but abides forever. As the mountains surround Jerusalem, So Yehovah surrounds His people from this time forth and forever.” Psalm 124:1-2

Jerusalem is built as a city that is compact together, where the tribes go up, the tribes of Yehovah, to the Testimony of Israel, to give thanks to the name of Yehovah.” Psalm 122:3-4,

“Yehovah builds up Jerusalem; He gathers together the outcasts of Israel.” Psalm 147:2

“I will lift up my eyes to the hills—From whence comes my help? My help comes from Yehovah, Who made heaven and earth.” P salm 121:1-2

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!

Unilateral, Unconditional, Guaranteed Promise

15 01 2026

Controversy is swirling around Israel’s right to exist. There are even those on the political right to have turned against Israel. I have friends asking me why they should care about Israel. The answer is in the nature of Yehovah God. He made unique promises through Abraham to Israel that are unconditional. We normally think of a covenant as a two-way agreement. But God’s promise to Abraham was unconditional. It did not depend on man’s obedience. It was a one-way promise. You can argue with God about why He blessed and chose Israel, but that is between you and Him. The covenant is already enacted, sealed, and delivered! It will not change because God does not change. He cannot lie. His righteous character backs up His promises.

On the same day Yehovah made a covenant with Abram, saying: “To your descendants I have given this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the River Euphrates” Genesis 15:18

Joel Richardson recently shared this concept on Facebook: “The Abrahamic Covenant is a unilateral, unconditional, guaranteed promise from God to give the children of Israel the promised land forever. Participation in that promise, of course, does require faith (in YHVH and His Messiah), which God also unconditionally promises to impart into the hearts of the children of Israel.”

“Moreover the Lord your God will circumcise your heart and the heart of your descendants, to love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul.” Deuteronomy 30:6

“For I will take you from the nations, gather you from all the lands and bring you into your own land. Then I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean; I will cleanse you from all your filthiness and from all your idols. Moreover, I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; and I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will be careful to observe My ordinances. You will live in the land that I gave to your forefathers; so you will be My people, and I will be your God.” Ezekiel 36:24–28

“Behold, days are coming,” declares the Lord, “when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah, not like the covenant which I made with their fathers in the day I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, My covenant which they broke, although I was a husband to them,” declares the Lord. But this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel after those days,” declares the Lord, “I will put My law within them and on their heart I will write it; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. They will not teach again, each man his neighbor and each man his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for they will all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them,” declares the Lord, “for I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more.” Jeremiah 31:31–34

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!

Wisdom for 2026

1 01 2026

Enjoy a shared bit of wisdom for the new year from my wife, Doreen (wife, mother, grandmother, and great grandmother):

Is setting goals a Biblical concept; or is it a matter of age? Jesus said: “Take no thought for tomorrow”. Matthew 6:34. This year I have no goal, except to take each day gratefully and obediently, knowing that His grace is sufficient. I have never had less assurance about what lies ahead except what Jesus has promised. I see through a glass darkly, but I am promised a brilliant and eternal future… 2026? Who knows? HE knows! That is enough.

“And He said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.’ Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 2 Corinthians 12:9

“Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” Hebrews 13:5

“Be strong and of good courage, do not fear nor be afraid of them; for Yehovah your God, He is the One who goes with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you.” Deuteronomy 31:6

God originally gave this promise to Joshua and two verses later emphasized: “Do not fear nor be dismayed.” We are not to fear life and events, but only to fear the Lord. He is the one who goes before us and prepares the way for us to live. Doreen is right, HE knows. Trust Him!

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem and especially for Gaza this week. PM Netanyahu returns to Israel today and reports say the Gaza/Egypt border may be opened after he returns home. All of this is evidence of our faithful God who keeps His promises to Israel and to each of us personally.

God is the #1 Zionist

11 12 2025

A Zionist is simply one who believes that God gave the land of Israel to the Jews. Yehovah God, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, is the top Zionist in the universe. It is His idea and His will that Israel live on the particular geographical location He chose for them. His enemies have tried to complicate the definition, but in the end it about the land and God’s everlasting promise. You can see His love and even His zeal for Zion in this quote.

“Thus says Yehovah of hosts: ‘I am zealous for Zion with great zeal; with great fervor I am zealous for her.’ Thus says Yehovah: ‘I will return to Zion, and dwell in the midst of Jerusalem. Jerusalem shall be called the City of Truth, the Mountain of Yehovah of hosts, The Holy Mountain.’ Thus says Yehovah of hosts: ‘Old men and old women shall again sit in the streets of Jerusalem, each one with his staff in his hand because of great age. The streets of the city shall be full of boys and girls playing in its streets.’ Thus says Yehovah of hosts: ‘If it is marvelous in the eyes of the remnant of this people in these days, will it also be marvelous in My eyes?’ Says Yehovah of hosts. Thus says Yehovah of hosts: ‘Behold, I will save My people from the land of the east and from the land of the west; I will bring them back, and they shall dwell in the midst of Jerusalem. They shall be My people and I will be their God, in truth and righteousness.’” Zechariah 1:1-8

Notice that this short passage tells us five specific things about God Himself.

He expresses great zeal; with great fervor.
He will make Jerusalem His dwelling place, His home!
It will be marvelous in His eyes!
He will bring His people back.
They will be His people and He will be their God, in truth and righteousness.

None of this is delegated to the angels. God does it Himself with great satisfaction and joy. Yehovah reveals His heart in this chapter. He is a hands-on God! This is what He personally wants. He rejoices in performing His promise. No matter how much controversy surrounds Zionism, we must stand in agreement with God. Our own personal integrity issues from that agreement. Align your will with God’s will, even when it is hard. “Integrity is siding with God’s Word against yourself.” Anonymous.

“The integrity of the upright will guide them, But the perversity (or duplicity) of the unfaithful will destroy them.” Proverbs 11:3

“May integrity and honesty protect me, for I put my hope in you.” Psalm 25:21 NLT

Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem and pray for rain.

Quick Guide to Islam

13 11 2025

We do NOT worship the same God.

Islam’s god is not a Father and has no son.

Islam’s god is not Yehovah, God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is His name, and what is His Son’s name, if you know? Proverbs 30:4

The god of the Quran commands your son to die for him.

The Living God of the Bible sent His Son to die for you.

Who is a liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist who denies the Father and the Son. 1 John 2:22

Choose life in Jesus!

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem and wisdom for the leaders.

What If the F-word is Worse Than You Think?

23 10 2025

The F-word has exploded in our culture including even used by some Christians. Even President Trump recently used that word publicly, which inspired this article. What if using that word is giving your voice to demons? Some say the word itself, but others use acronyms such as: WTF “what the f”, M-F “mother-f”, and the newest usage, Fafo “F around and find out”. Don’t be deceived. There is a demonic evil spirt at play no matter how you voice it or write it. What if giving voice to that word is a demonic form of speaking in tongues? Could the devil be saying something in the spiritual dimension more than you mean to say? Using your voice and authority? What we confess with our mouth has supernatural power. Which power are you speaking?

“Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit.” Proverbs 18:21

“For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” Romans 10:10

“But you, O man of God, flee these things and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, gentleness. Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called and have confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.” 1 Timothy 6:11-12

“Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.” Hebrews 10:24

I believe the Holy Spirit gave me this word, and I told my brother Ken about it. He said he heard the same word a week ago. Neither of us have heard that from anyone else. I take it seriously.

Also, I heard a word about gossip. What if “conspiracy theories” fell under the category of gossip? The internet is rife with unending theories about every event which get lots of “clicks.” Candace Owens comes to mind. The apostle Paul listed wicked sins in Romans 1 and you may be shocked that gossip is included with the worst sins like hate and murder.

“Their lives became full of every kind of wickedness, sin, greed, hate, envy, murder, quarreling, deception, malicious behavior, and gossip.” Romans 1:29

Please prayerfully consider the words that come out of our own mouth. Are we confessing Jesus and His life and His salvation? Or, our we giving voice and text to a completely different spirit. Repent and change. Stop using it. And pray that our leaders will likewise be convicted and repent.

“Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight, O Yehovah, my strength and my Redeemer.” Psalm 19:14

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem and that our leaders will hear from God, have courage, and do the right thing.

They Shall Proclaim the Praises of Yehovah

9 10 2025

We all rejoice in the peace agreement for Gaza this week, but what follows? I maintain that there will be a time of extraordinary peace between the Psalm 83 war and the Ezekiel 38 war of Gog & Magog. What if I told you that millions of Arabs would find salvation in Jesus and gladly become pro-Israel and join the Abraham Accords?

Since 1948 Israel has been under attack from their Arab neighbors listed by country in Psalm 83. That comes to an end with the surrender of Hamas. Yet Israelis will certainly take awhile to tear down the walls and accept complete belief in the relief offered by genuine peace. This is not the anti-Christ peace, but a period described in Ezekiel 38, who used seven different phrases stipulating the conditions of real peace being enjoyed by Israel before the Gog invasion (which, again, lists the names of the countries involved).

It is during this period that Arabs/Palestinians will turn to Jesus. Isaiah 19 ends with an amazing relationship between Egypt, Israel, and Syria which specifically includes Egyptians worshipping Yehovah.

“In that day there will be an altar to Yehovah in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar to Yehovah at its border. And it will be for a sign and for a witness to Yehovah of hosts in the land of Egypt; for they will cry to Yehovah because of the oppressors, and He will send them a Savior and a Mighty One, and He will deliver them. Then Yehovah will be known to Egypt, and the Egyptians will know Yehovah in that day, and will make sacrifice and offering; yes, they will make a vow to Yehovah and perform it.” Isaiah 19:19-21

But what about Saudi Arabia, you may ask? I believe they will also find our Messiah’s salvation. It is already clear to most that they will very soon be joining the Abraham Accords. But there is evidence in Isaiah’s prophecy that they will also worship Yehovah God. Last week I quoted the Zechariah promise that there would be Palestinians “who remain” in Israel (after the Hamas Gaza defeat) who would worship the God of Israel. In addition, there is the evidence for Saudi Arabia. Note that each of the five geographically named areas are all in Saudi Arabia!

“Then you shall see and become radiant, and your heart shall swell with joy; because the abundance of the sea shall be turned to you, the wealth of the Gentiles shall come to you. The multitude of camels shall cover your land, the dromedaries of Midian and Ephah; all those from Sheba shall come; they shall bring gold and incense, and they shall proclaim the praises of Yehovah. All the flocks of Kedar shall be gathered together to you, the rams of Nebaioth shall minister to you; They shall ascend with acceptance on My altar, and I will glorify the house of My glory.” Isaiah 60:5-7

This may be a stretch for you, but open your heart to the possibilities of our merciful Savior!

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem and pray for the salvation of Jews and Arabs alike!

The End Result of the 20 Point Peace Plan

1 10 2025

This peace plan is on target for God’s plan for the Palestinians. For several weeks I have been posting about the end of the Gaza War. Amos 1:6-7 declares this fourth Gaza war in 20 years will end with God’s punishment after it was deferred for the first three wars. (See: Final Push Into Gaza) But the most exciting verse is in the second part of Zechariah 9:7. It reveals that after Gaza is conquered there will be survivors who will join Israel. (Note: We know there is no DNA connection between Philistines and Palestinians, but it the same ancient demonic principality and methods.) I believe this verse prophetically speaks of today.

“Then the surviving Philistines will worship our God and become like a clan in Judah. The Philistines of Ekron will join my people, as the ancient Jebusites once did.” Zechariah 9:7b NLT

This indicates that these “surviving” Palestinians will be saved and accepted into Israel (See: Clan Plan Confirmed by Scripture) Zechariah finishes with them joining Israel as the ancient Jebusites did.

The verse indicates a future transformation where the Philistines will abandon their former ways and join the worship of the God of Israel.
This joining is likened to the Jebusites, who eventually became part of the Israelite community after King David’s conquest of Jebusite Jerusalem.
The phrase suggests a significant change in identity and allegiance for the Philistines, moving from enemies to worshippers of God.
The comparison to the Jebusites highlights theme of redemption, showing that even former adversaries can become part of God’s people.

This concept is further confirmed by Isaiah: “Also the sons of the foreigner who join themselves to Yehovah, to serve Him, and to love the name of Yehovah, to be His servants— Everyone who keeps from defiling the Sabbath, and holds fast My covenant— Even them I will bring to My holy mountain, and make them joyful in My house of prayer. Their burnt offerings and their sacrifices will be accepted on My altar; for My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations.” The Lord Yehovah, who gathers the outcasts of Israel, says, “Yet I will gather to him Others besides those who are gathered to him.” Isaiah 56:6-8

This is confirmed directly by Jesus: “Then He taught, saying to them, “Is it not written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations’? But you have made it a ‘den of thieves.’ ” Mark 11:17

It is so easy to get caught up in the news and lose sight of God’s promises. But I believe He is proceeding right on schedule to fulfill His Word. The land title has been gifted to Israel by God, and will not be revoked.

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem and Yehovah’s Kingdom to come through Yeshua our Messiah!

The Creator God is Faithful to Israel

25 09 2025

The Creator has revealed Himself in many ways. He is the only true God and can be seen in all He has created. He is also revealed in the written word…the Holy Scriptures. Among all the ways of revelation however, there remains a particularly clear unveiling of the faithful God. He is revealed in His relationship with one land and one specific people: Israel, His sign to the whole world.

This is not to deny His loving relationship with all peoples who will seek Him. All of God’s activities in the entire earth are derived from the critical fact of His own character: faithfulness! Thus, how God views Israel over the course of history, shows the standard of integrity issuing directly from His own character. This is of utmost importance, first to the people of Israel and then to all the other nations that are destined to be included. The biblical analogy is of one plant with branches broken off, wild branches grafted into the original plant, and finally some of the broken off branches being grafted back into the same planting.

Even the scripture record itself, with the great promise of salvation through the Messiah Yeshua (Jesus) and all the other Bible promises, does not stand alone! The veracity or truthfulness of the written word is only as sure as the truthful character of the author. The source of the Bible’s authority is the Person of Yehovah who reveals Himself through the awesome process of many writers over many centuries of time. But if God lies or breaks His word in any way, then the basis of believing is lost. The word of a liar is worthless. But God only speaks truth, because God is truth!

God’s power is manifested in creation but His faithful nature is particularly confirmed in Israel. Israel’s existence is as certain as the fixed laws of the universe. God is raising up Israel out of the sea of nations in prophetic fulfillment of His eternal purpose. GOD IS FAITHFUL!

“Thus says Yehovah, who gives the sun for a light by day, the ordinances of the moon and the stars for a light by night, who disturbs the sea, and its waves roar (Yehovah of hosts is His name): If those ordinances depart from before Me, says Yehovah, then the seed of Israel shall also cease
From being a nation before Me forever.” Jeremiah 31:35-36

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem! And pray especially this week that President Trump will hear from God in this critical moment of nations roaring.

Charlie Kirk – One Kernel of Wheat

11 09 2025

The one Bible verse that speaks to the martyrdom of Charlie Kirk was spoken by Jesus concerning His own pending death. Martyrdom for the faith is part of every generation since. Satan did not stop with killing the Messiah, he continues to attack believers. Most of us never face physical martyrdom but have made the choice to lay down our lives for the Savior. It is the “way” of discipleship. We are called to follow Jesus. Charlie Kirk was a follower of Jesus, but became a leader of a generation. My prayer is that his one kernel of wheat will produce literally millions of Jesus people.

“I tell you the truth, unless a kernel of wheat is planted in the soil and dies, it remains alone. But its death will produce many new kernels—a plentiful harvest of new lives. Those who love their life in this world will lose it. Those who care nothing for their life in this world will keep it for eternity. Anyone who wants to be my disciple must follow me, because my servants must be where I am. And the Father will honor anyone who serves me.” John 12:24-26 NLT

From the first New Testament martyr Stephen, to yesterday’s martyr Charlie Kirk, the Gospel message is reproducing. Death for believers always ends with resurrection. Jesus was raised and sits at the right hand of Yehovah God. Charlie has joined Him. But the fruit that will come, cannot be counted yet.

I pray that a supernatural phenomena will sweep over TikTok and all social media. Millions of young internet addicts are hearing of Charlie Kirk for the first time. I pray that because of curiosity they will find Charlie’s videos and start binge watching to the point of conversion to faith in the Messiah Yeshua!

What action can we take? We are compelled by the Holy Spirit to speak up. This is not the way of cowards. Do you think believers will slink back in this hour? I think not!

Pray for Charlie’s family and followers.
Ask the Holy Spirit what you should do.
Look for opportunities to speak truth in love.
Talk to your family about Jesus.
Engage with your neighbors, friends, and colleagues.
Volunteer at church or for any godly cause.
Activate your faith!

No more sitting on the sidelines. Get up and join the fight!

“A final word: Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on all of God’s armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil. For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places. Therefore, put on every piece of God’s armor so you will be able to resist the enemy in the time of evil. Then after the battle you will still be standing firm.” Ephesians 6:10-13 NLT

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem and for the United States!

A Real Plan for Gaza Civilians

4 09 2025

The Israeli sun is rising! February 4th this year President Trump stunned the press corps with his vision for Gaza. Now, eight months later it beginning to take shape. My last two posts discussed the plans for Judea and Samaria (West Bank). But today let’s zero in on Gaza. I believe Trump’s plan is about to be announced. The IDF now control 40% of Gaza City and the end of Hamas is near. Part of the last phase features the voluntary exit of a million or more civilians. Here are recent breaking news accounts of the emerging exodus.

President Trump continues planning significant post-war Gaza reconstruction, including voluntary emigration – Report indicates Trump has not given up on ‘Gaza Riviera’ plan, seeking investors to fund reconstruction.

Notice the screenshot of the cover of the 38 page document detailing his plans. He is serious. The photo is described as: “The GREAT Trust: From a Demolished Iranian Proxy to a Prosperous Abrahamic Ally.” The title, GREAT Trust, is an anacronym for “”Gaza Reconstitution, Economic Acceleration and Transformation Trust.”

Post-War Gaza Plan Sees Relocation of Population, ‘Digital Token’ for Palestinian Land: Washington Post – Anyone who owns land would be offered a “digital token” in exchange for rights to redevelop their property, the Post reported, adding that each Palestinian who left would be provided with $5,000 in cash and subsidies to cover four years of rent. They would also be provided with a year of food, it added.

Secret Gaza makeover plan offers Palestinians $5000 to leave – According to Washington Post, comprehensive proposal would establish decade-long US trusteeship while transforming enclave into tourism and tech hub through voluntary Palestinian departures.

In addition to these articles there is a fascinating discovery on Google Earth apparently showing an extremely large area of thousands of apartment buildings that I estimate could temporarily house possibly up to a million refugees in Egypt only seven miles from the Egypt/Gaza border slightly SE of Rafah. I wish I could show you myself, but please take a moment and see for yourself. This could be connected to the rumored million refugees accepted by Libya. Stay tuned!

Egypt deploys 40,000 troops to Gaza border – Arab media (click for picture).

I believe Egypt is ready to open the Gaza border now, but will not allow Gazans beyond a very tight perimeter which includes the temporary housing that is prepared for them.

Finally, this all fits within Biblical prophecy. I have previously detailed the four Gaza Hamas wars since 2005 that ends with God Himself allowing the punishment after the fourth (Amos 1:6-7). Notice verse seven clearly describes the vast destruction of Gaza buildings that we see in the news. Here is one more prophecy that I believe applies to Gaza in our day.

Woe to the inhabitants of the seacoast, The nation of the Cherethites! The word of Yehovah is against you, O Canaan, land of the Philistines: “I will destroy you; so there shall be no inhabitant.” Zephaniah 2:5

Cherethites = “executioners” according to Strong’s Concordance. Some translations say “assassins” which pretty well describes Hamas and all terrorists, including suicide bombers. This even suggests the inhabitants will be gone, none left. That will be the result of Trump’s plan. I get excited when I see the Bible and the news coinciding. I could be wrong, of course, but let’s keep our eyes open.

We faithfully continue to pray for the peace of Jerusalem and wisdom from above for the leaders!

Clan Plan Confirmed by Scripture

28 08 2025

Last week I wrote about the Secret Solution to Gaza and the West Bank. Here is an amazing revelation from the prophet Zechariah that details exactly my point last Thursday. Each phrase is remarkably describing what is now happening in Israel and the West Bank (Judea and Samaria). First, let me acknowledge that most translations differ from the New Living Translation in this case. However, my study of Strong’s Concordance, the Hebrew text, and even the root words behind the text reveal this present day unfolding scenario. Let’s look at it.

“Foreigners will occupy the city of Ashdod. I will destroy the pride of the Philistines. I will grab the bloody meat from their mouths and snatch the detestable sacrifices from their teeth. Then the surviving Philistines will worship our God and become like a clan in Judah. The Philistines of Ekron will join my people, as the ancient Jebusites once did.” Zechariah 9:6-7 NLT

It has been proven by DNA that today’s Palestinians are Arabs. They are not descendants from the ancient Philistines. But, they have appropriated the spirit of the Philistines, a geographical principality that hates God and His choice to bless Israel with the eternal deed to the land. That is why Hamas behaves precisely like the ancient enemy of Israel. Look at Zechariah’s declaration as referencing today’s Palestinians.

Yehovah will destroy their pride. Certainly pride and arrogance emanates from them.
He will remove their bloody purpose: seen from suicide bombers to over 1,400 mostly civilians murdered and taken hostage in the worst single day massacre of Jews since the Holocaust.
After the conclusive judgement of the fourth war in 20 years, (see Amos 1:6-7) some will survive and worship Yehovah. This may indicate they will accept Yeshua and the God of Israel.
They will “become like a clan in Judah!” This is the actual desire of the clans who request recognition from Israel. Be sure to read last week’s “Secret Solution” post.
They will join Israel as the “ancient Jebusites once did.” The Holy Spirit through Zechariah cites the Biblical precedent to justify non-Jews being included in the nation of Israel.

This is the “secret solution” about to be revealed to the world. I believe Gaza civilians will be allowed to voluntarily evacuate Gaza for other Arab/Muslim nations. The clans who remain in the West Bank, especially Hebron, will reject Hamas and even the Palestinian Authority from ruling over them. They will recognize Israel as the Jewish state and join the Abraham Accords. Israel will allow self-government in their clans or “emirates” and eventually grant Israeli citizenship through annexation. Is this too marvelous in our eyes? God is able!

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem and for wisdom and courage for all the leaders (including the clans) to do the right thing!

Secret Solution for Gaza and West Bank

21 08 2025

All the media talk is fixated on a “two-state” concept that is so dead that even diplomats are waking up. Yet there is a brilliant solution about to emerge. Israel’s enemies still clamor for two states but in truth they insist on one state: Palestine. The radical terrorists have been driving the bus for too long. It is time for Arabs who recognize Israel to have their say. I am speaking not of Arab Israelis who are happy being citizens, but the Arab League, who has made a major turn.

In 1st, entire Arab League condemns Oct. 7, urges Hamas to disarm – Arab and Muslim countries, including Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Egypt, Jordan and Turkey, signed a declaration Tuesday condemning for the first time Hamas’s onslaught of October 7, 2023, and calling on the Palestinian terror group to release all the hostages it is holding, disarm and end its rule of Gaza, in a bid to end the devastating war in the Strip.

Admittedly, they also called for a Palestinian state but that part will not happen for two reasons. Yehovah God Himself has deeded the land to Israel in the Bible. Plus, Israel will never go back to Oct 7 with terrorists on their border. Prime Minister has declared this and is backed up by President Trump.

Trump States Hamas Must Be ‘Confronted and Destroyed’ as Gaza City Residents Evacuate Ahead of IDF Offensive – “We will only see the return of the remaining hostages when Hamas is confronted and destroyed!!! The sooner this takes place, the better the chances of success will be,”

The secret plan emerging is a complete rejection of not only Hamas, but also the Palestinian Authority. The former Mayor of Jerusalem, MK Nir Barkat, has been quietly meeting with Arab sheikhs who control clans (700,000 Arabs) throughout the West Bank (Judea and Samaria). They reject the terrorists and will recognize Israel. The rule in the Middle East has been by families or clans for thousands of years. It is the natural solution.

Hebron sheikhs want to leave Palestinian Authority, join Abraham Accords – “We want cooperation with Israel,” says Sheikh Wadee’ al-Jaabari. “We want coexistence.” Sheikh Wadee’ al-Jaabari and four other prominent clan leaders from Hebron have signed a letter pledging peace and full recognition of Israel as a Jewish state. Their plan: Hebron would secede from the Palestinian Authority, establish an independent emirate, and join the Abraham Accords.

Minister Barkat: ‘Emirates plan an excellent alternative to Palestinian state’ – Economy Minister Nir Barkat tells Arutz Sheva the proposal of creating “Emirates” in Judea and Samaria is the best option for all parties in the long run and has the best chance of success. “This is a governance model based on tribes, which has proven to be the most successful model in the Arab world.”

“When the Most High divided their inheritance to the nations, when He separated the sons of Adam, He set the boundaries of the peoples according to the number of the children of Israel.” Deuteronomy 32:8

“And He has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined their preappointed times and the boundaries of their dwellings, so that they should seek the Lord, in the hope that they might grope for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us;” Acts 17:26-27

We need to pray that the wisdom of this solution will be seen by all and especially President Trump. True boundaries are set by God. Pray for the peace of Jerusalem and that the leaders will hear God’s voice, have courage, and do the right thing!

Where Does God Rest?

14 08 2025

We know He rested on the seventh day of creation, but where does He rest? We also know that He neither slumbers nor sleeps (Psalm 121:4). But He does rest. So, does He have a special place? Some people think of God as a great mystery, even unknowable. But the opposite is true. Yehovah God reveals Himself literally all over the place. He can be seen in the design of His creative masterpieces from the universe down to the tiniest atom or quark. His crowning creation is man. He is also seen in the never-ending beauty and variety every flower, fish, bird, and even people. But the most detailed revelation of His personality, character, and even His purpose is spelled out in plain language in the Bible. This God-breathed record of History (which is His-Story) also reveals intimate details about Himself. But still I ask: Where does God rest?

“Let us go into His tabernacle; Let us worship at His footstool. Arise, O Yehovah, to Your resting place,You and the ark of Your strength.” Psalm 132:7-8

For Yehovah has chosen Zion; He has desired it for His dwelling place: “This is My resting place forever; Here I will dwell, for I have desired it.” Psalm 132:13-14

His resting place is in Zion, forever! The name Zion has many facets. It refers interchangeably to the land of Israel, the mountain, and the city of Jerusalem. As a Christian Zionist, I believe God gave the whole land to Israel in an everlasting covenant. But even more exciting is that He dwells there, it is His resting place! While journeying through the wilderness and for nearly four hundred years at Shiloh after Joshua’s conquest, God dwelt in Moses’ Tabernacle. But that was just His RV for travel. His ultimate eternal resting place is Zion/Jerusalem! Even when the Messiah Yeshua comes He will reign in Jerusalem. No wonder the world goes crazy against the Jews and Jerusalem, both His people and His resting place. Man’s ultimate rebellion against God is against His resting place.

“Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: “May they prosper who love you. Peace be within your walls,
Prosperity within your palaces.” Psalm 122:6-7

I like to say that this verse is God’s #1 prayer request. We pray in agreement with His purpose and rest.

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!

Final Push in Gaza

7 08 2025

Israel has made their decision. Today Israel announced they will take total control of Gaza and eliminate Hamas. Netanyahu to Fox News: “We intend to militarily take control of the entire Gaza Strip, to free the civilian population, dismantle Hamas, and transfer it to an alternative government.” Here is a link to the Fox News interview where Netanyahu calls for Hamas to be eliminated and hostages released. (As I finish this post it is after midnight in Israel and the cabinet is still debating, I will update here when they are finished.) (After over 10 hours of debate the cabinet agreed to occupy Gaza City.)

Trump doesn’t oppose Netanyahu plan for full Gaza occupation: – President Trump does not oppose Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s plan to launch a new military operation to occupy the entire Gaza Strip, U.S. and Israeli officials say.

Rubio: There will be no peace until Hamas is disbanded – global attention must also focus on freeing the 20 hostages held by Hamas and disarming the terror group.

Time to revisit Amos as we see the end of the fourth war in Gaza in 20 years. They keep attacking Israeli civilians in what the Bible calls “transgressions.”

Thus says Yehovah: “For three transgressions of Gaza, and for four, I will not turn away its punishment, Because they took captive the whole captivity To deliver them up to Edom. But I will send a fire upon the wall of Gaza, Which shall devour its palaces.” Amos 1:6-7

Remember that it is Yehovah God who says He will not “turn away” the punishment of Gaza. It is now time for the final act. God is faithful to keep His word. He not only speaks truth, but He acts to make sure it comes to pass just as He promised. Man speaks many words without doing, but God performs every word He speaks!

Then Yehovah said to me, “You have seen well, for I am watching over my word to perform it.” J eremiah 1:12 ESV

Also remember that during the plagues of Exodus, Pharoah hardened his heart at first, but then Yehovah hardened Pharoah’s heart. I believe that God has hardened Hamas’ heart at this point.

We must pray intentionally for God’s word to be fulfilled at this very time. The last battles could be tough. Pray for supernatural victory with minimal deaths. Pray for protection of the hostages and the troops and wisdom for the leaders. Now is the time!

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem.

Anti-Semites Hate God

31 07 2025

Behind the uproar is a solid Biblical truth. The rise in hatred of Jews and Christians is not social; it is spiritual. The source of Jew and Israel hate is hatred of God, because He chose them! In the last days this is extended to hate of Christians for the same reason. Rebellion from God is the motivation.

“Do not keep silent, O God! Do not hold Your peace, and do not be still, O God! For behold, YOUR enemies make a tumult; and those who hate YOU have lifted up their head. … For they have consulted together with one consent; They form a confederacy against YOU:” Psalm 83:1-2,5

Since God’s enemies can’t touch God, they attack His chosen people. They purpose to eliminate Israel completely, even from memory. That is a powerful hatred. But they will fail! Yehovah God will keep His eternal covenant with His people Israel. The great news is that we Christians have been added into the “commonwealth of Israel,” according to Romans 11:17 and Ephesians 2:12-16. In the end the true believers from Jews and Gentiles are all part of God’s redeemed as “one new man.” Of course it also means that Christian believers are also now the target of that ancient hatred of God.

“They have taken crafty counsel against YOUR people, and consulted together against YOUR sheltered ones. They have said, “Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation, that the name of Israel may be remembered no more.” Psalm 83:3-4

This Sunday is the “9th of Av” This date of the month of Av on the Jewish calendar has a horrible list of tragedies against the Jews throughout history. Here is just a partial list:

The evil report of the 10 spies (Numbers 13-14) — The destruction of the 1st and 2nd temples — The expulsion of Jews from England France and Spain and the beginning of WWI — The deportation of Jews from the Warsaw ghetto to Treblinka — The expulsion from Gaza in 2005 Curt Landry Ministries

These events all happened at the same time of year. No wonder Jews observe these days with solemn mourning and reflection. Yet, Israel is alive today and the empires who conquered them are gone!

Egyptians, Assyrians, Babylonians, Persians, Greeks, Romans, Arab Muslim Caliphates, Ottomans, and British are all no longer empires! Yet Israel lives! Am Israel Chai! The people of Israel live!

Finally, all of this hateful antisemitism has a silver lining. There is hope. The attention to it has caused many to reexamine Israel. There is a great opportunity now to share the good news of the restoration of Israel because God is faithful. Plus, since He is showing Himself faithful to them, our faith is encouraged and energized to spread the Gospel of Yeshua, the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world!

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!

Salvation Through Fire

24 07 2025

May the FOURTH be with you. This meme is a great play on words from the Star Wars quote: “May the force be with you.” We are living in turbulent times with many living in great fear and even terror. The whole world is shaking and many are losing hope. However, we serve the God who delivers through fire. It is not that believers always escape tragedy, but that He has promised to be with us no matter the outcome. The great story of the three Hebrew young men in the fiery furnace of Babylon is the Bible promise.

“If that is the case, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and He will deliver us from your hand, O king. But if not, let it be known to you, O king, that we do not serve your gods, nor will we worship the gold image which you have set up.” Daniel 3:17-18

They knew that God could save them from the fire, but they also had already decided that they would serve God either way. They were willing to die rather than worship the false image of a pagan king. Then when the king heated the furnace seven time hotter the astounding deliverance occurred. A fourth man was seen in the fire.

“Look!” he answered, “I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire; and they are not hurt, and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God. Then Nebuchadnezzar went near the mouth of the burning fiery furnace and spoke, saying, “Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, servants of the Most High God, come out, and come here.” Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego came from the midst of the fire. And the satraps, administrators, governors, and the king’s counselors gathered together, and they saw these men on whose bodies the fire had no power; the hair of their head was not singed nor were their garments affected, and the smell of fire was not on them. Nebuchadnezzar spoke, saying, “Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, who sent His Angel and delivered His servants who trusted in Him, and they have frustrated the king’s word, and yielded their bodies, that they should not serve nor worship any god except their own God!” Daniel 3:25-28

Jesus appeared with them in the fire! The king even praised Yehovah God in the end. Jesus Himself promised that He would neither leave us or forsake us.

Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” So we may boldly say: “Yehovah is my helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me?” Hebrews 13:5-6

Do not fear! He is with us to the end whether we are delivered immediately or not. We will be together with Him for eternity. He is the fourth one in the fires of life!

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem and pray for our leaders that they will hear God, have courage, and do the right thing.

Gaza Gambit 2.0

10 07 2025

Five months ago PM Netanyahu and Pres. Trump announced a bombshell plan for Gaza. Where are we now? This week, they have met again in DC, several times. Bibi has been meeting with every top official also found time to honor the two young people killed at the DC Israeli Embassy. The reason Bibi came to meet with the President was to discuss a Gaza cease fire, along with Iran, Syria, and several other items.

No deal has been announced as I write this and Netanyahu is flying home this evening. My view is that the main discussion was about what I call The Gaza Gambit 2.0. I wrote about it here. But much has transpired since February. I believe Trump has arranged countries who will absorb voluntary Gaza refugees. Timing is everything as usual, but I see it all lining up like ducks in a row.

The great victory over Iran clears the way for each step. Syria is about ready. Lebanon is close. The Houtis need to be defeated and Hamas completely neutralized. We are closer every day. Will a ceasefire create another delay? Possibly, but not for long. The Saudis and other nations are on the brink of agreeing to join the Abraham Accords paving the way for the “exceptional” peace we have been talking about from Ezekiel 38. It is quite satisfying to me that most prophetic commentators are now seeing this peace before the Gog and Magog War.

I believe our two national leaders are in lock step with the purpose of God. The final plan is His. Yehovah has been faithfully executing His plan over many years, bringing it to this time of manifestation. The time is now. Never again is now. We are not turning back from this prophetic moment. It is God’s moment. I rest in this Bible verse about the nature and character of Yehovah God. Nothing else matters.

For Yehovah of hosts has purposed, and who will annul it? His hand is stretched out, and who will turn it back?” Isaiah 14:27

Isaiah was talking about God’s purpose with Assyria, but uses this fact that when God speaks no one can annul it. “Every promise of God is yes and amen!” 2 Corinthians 1:20

God has a purpose for Gaza and no man or demon can annul it!

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem! Pray that President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu will hear from God, and have courage to do the right thing.

Grasp the Sleeve of a Jewish Man

4 07 2025

“Thus says Yehovah of hosts: ‘In those days ten men from every language of the nations shall grasp the sleeve of a Jewish man, saying, “Let us go with you, for we have heard that God is with you.” Zechariah 8:23

Why does the Bible tell Gentiles to grab the sleeve of a Jewish man? Israel is rising as a superpower in the Middle East. What is happening? How is that possible? Does this prophecy from Zechariah speak of our day? The miracle restoration of Israel in one generation is unprecedented. It is marvelous! What does that say about Israel’s future? Did God bring them back to their land to kill them? Or, is the His Divine Plan being manifest before our eyes. I believe it is part of the great harvest of souls in the last days. There is a great awakening coming not only in America, but around the world. Jews and Arabs are coming to Jesus. Israel is rising to a new place in the earth. (10 reasons why Israel matters to America)

“Thus says Yehovah of hosts: ‘Peoples shall yet come, Inhabitants of many cities; The inhabitants of one city shall go to another, saying, “Let us continue to go and pray before Yehovah, and seek Yehovah of hosts. I myself will go also.” Yes, many peoples and strong nations shall come to seek Yehovah of hosts in Jerusalem, and to pray before Yehovah.” Zechariah 8:20-22

Does this have anything to do with Yeshua? Remember when most of His disciples left him? Those who stayed with Him would not let go. That is what is happening in our day. People are seeing Yeshua as the Jew to follow. Ten times as many Gentiles are getting saved now, but His own will soon follow Him as well.

From that time many of His disciples went back and walked with Him no more. Then Jesus said to the twelve, “Do you also want to go away?” But Simon Peter answered Him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. Also we have come to believe and know that You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” John 6: 66-69

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem and wisdom in this week’s decisions in Washington, DC.

The Unthinkable 12 Day War

26 06 2025

There is no question that no one saw it coming. Defeating Iran in 12 days, crippling Hezbollah with pagers and walkie talkies, the fall of Syria’s dictator, Lebanon reborn, Hamas on the ropes? Unthinkable! That word can be applied to each of those events. I remember a line from the Princess Bride movie: “You Keep Using That Word, I Do Not Think It Means What You Think It Means.” Shall we keep going? How about the soon major expansion of the Abraham Accords including Saudi Arabia, Syria, Lebanon and others? How many events can be unthinkable one after the other? There is only one explanation for all of these amazing results. God is supernaturally working! He has a plan and a promise. He is faithfully fulfilling His word. We live in Biblical times. Time and again throughout the Scriptures God delivered His people from their enemies. He is doing it again today. Consider Joshua of old… or Netanyahu and Trump today.

“And I commanded Joshua at that time, saying, ‘Your eyes have seen all that Yehovah your God has done to these two kings; so will Yehovah do to all the kingdoms through which you pass. ‘You must not fear them, for Yehovah your God Himself fights for you.’ “Then I pleaded with Yehovah at that time, saying: ‘O Lord Yehovah, You have begun to show Your servant Your greatness and Your mighty hand, for what god is there in heaven or on earth who can do anything like Your works and Your mighty deeds?” Deuteronomy 3:22-24

God fights for Israel and blesses those who bless Israel! Israel’s War of Independence in 1948 was won against the Arab Legion of seven Arab armies. The amazing and miraculous Six Day War in June 1967 was by the hand of God. And now the humiliating defeat of a terror superpower in twelve days demonstrates again the intervening, almighty power of the living God. This truly is a defeat of the pagan god of Islam. Their chant of “Allah Akbar” is always mistranslated in Western media. It is not “god is great.” They say their god is the “greatest.” It has always been a spiritual war. It may not be over, but our God Yehovah is advancing! The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob is the true, living, and faithful Father God!

Keep praying for God’s Kingdom to advance. There are many more to be saved! Pray for the true peace of Jerusalem, Yeshua Sar Shalom/Jesus Prince of Peace.

The Rising Lion of Iran

19 06 2025

Notice the two different flags, followed by a meme sent to the Iranian people by Israel. Prime Minister Netanyahu was suggesting to the Iranian people that it is time for them to rise up and take back their country!

“The Iranian red, white and green flag exists in two versions: One represents the Islamic regime with the stylized red symbol which represents the name “Allah” written in Arabic and also symbolizes the value of being a martyr for the jihadi cause. The other shows a lion and a sun, from the time of the Shah before the Islamic takeover in 1978-9.” One For Israel

Netanyahu named the military attack on Iran as: Operation Rising Lion. It has a dual meaning. One is that Israel, the Lion of Judah, is arising. But also that Iran can rise.

He quoted Numbers 23:24 “Look, a people rises like a lioness, and lifts itself up like a lion; It shall not lie down until it devours the prey, And drinks the blood of the slain.”

This verse is from the time when the false prophet Balaam tried to curse Israel but he could not. He could only speak blessing. I believe even now when Iran and much of the world is trying to curse Israel, they will fail. God has commanded the blessing and restoration of Israel and it cannot be reversed! Hallelujah! The meme of the lion standing upright over an Israeli fighter jet conveys the message. Notice the sun behind the lion in the original Iran flag and the meme. It is a clear call for the Iranian people to rise up like a lion.

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem and Iran! May Yehovah God bring not only peace, but also salvation to Jews, Arabs, Persians, and all the surrounding people.

Riots, Iran, and the Bible

12 06 2025

Rumors of riots in America, and Iran is about to explode, yet God is in control. Whether you consider a major geopolitical crisis or a personal crisis in your own life, faith in God is your anchor. For many years we have sung this simple chorus:

“This is the day…This is the day… That the Lord has made…That the Lord has made. We will rejoice…We will rejoice… and be gland in it, and be glad in it.”

But, do you know that this little song is in the Bible? As we watch the clock run out on Iran and the inevitable destruction of their nuclear program, there is comfort in Scripture. God is in control every day, not just the good days when everything is going well. We must not fear the unknown. It is only unknown to us, not to God. He sees the end from the beginning and He has a plan. He knows. Where is this song in the Bible and what is the context? Did you know Jesus sang this song at the Last Supper, His Passover meal with the disciples?

“This is the day the LORD (Yehovah) has made; We will rejoice and be glad in it.” Psalm 118:24

“In Mark 14, we’re told that Jesus and his disciples celebrated Passover and sang a hymn before going out to the garden of Gethsemane. So what hymn did they sing? Rabbinic tradition going back to the time of Jesus records that during Passover, Jewish people sang Psalm 113-118, a collection of songs known as the Passover Hallel.” Bible Project

Psalm 118 is talking about the Messiah Yeshua and ends instructing the sacrifice be bound to the altar and indicates that this reveals that God is good! The worst moment in Jesus’ life and the apparent victory of Satan shows the goodness of Yehovah! His death on the cross is good! It is the provision of salvation for all who will believe in Him. The little chorus we sing is directly pointing to the sacrifice of the Lamb of God. This is the day to be glad and rejoice. This day of Jesus’ death is victory over death!

“God is Yehovah, and He has given us light; Bind the sacrifice with cords to the horns of the altar. You are my God, and I will praise You; You are my God, I will exalt You. Oh, give thanks to Yehovah, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever.” Psalm 118:27-29

Jesus Himself sang those words just hours before His temptation in Gethsemane’s Garden and His crucifixion. He knew the Father’s plan. He obeyed to the end and became the Savior of the world. THAT day was the most important day in history. So, be sure to see current world events and even your own personal events from God’s perspective. Is God worried about Iran and Israel, or riots in Los Angeles? No, and He can handle what you are going through. It does not always appear that things are heading in the right direction, but God is in control! Do not yield to the spirit of fear, but rather yield to the Holy Spirit of Yehovah God. Trust in God! (Please check out my previous blog posts about riots, below.)

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem and wisdom for all our leaders.

God’s Specific Real Estate Promise

5 06 2025

We must not forget the literal land promise that God vowed to keep for Israel. His integrity is on the line. His severe judgement on Israel scattered them to all the nations, but He promised He would bring them back to the actual geographical land of Israel. Two weeks ago I wrote about Ezekiel 20, but there is more.

“For on My holy mountain, on the mountain height of Israel,” says the Lord Yehovah, “there all the house of Israel, all of them in the land, shall serve Me; there I will accept them, and there I will require your offerings and the first fruits of your sacrifices, together with all your holy things. I will accept you as a sweet aroma when I bring you out from the peoples and gather you out of the countries where you have been scattered; and I will be hallowed in you before the Gentiles. Then you shall know that I am Yehovah, when I bring you into the land of Israel, into the country for which I raised My hand in an oath to give to your fathers.” Ezekiel 20:40-42

He raised His hand in an oath! There is no greater authority. God will return their land to them because He promised and He cannot lie. Yehovah’s very character and His name in intertwined with Israel’s destiny. God is married to Israel and to the land! (Beulah in Hebrew means: Married.)

“You shall no longer be termed Forsaken, nor shall your land any more be termed Desolate; but you shall be called Hephzibah, and your land Beulah; for Yehovah delights in you, and your land shall be married.” Isaiah 62:4

“Then say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord Yehovah: “Surely I will take the children of Israel from among the nations, wherever they have gone, and will gather them from every side and bring them into their own land;” Ezekiel 37:21

“Then you shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; you shall be My people, and I will be your God.” Ezekiel 36:28

The promise is not simply to an ethnic people but to an actual geographical location on the globe. There are three reasons why this fact is significant. First, the promise being geographical indicates that we should not lean to a symbolic or spiritualized interpretation of the prophecy. Secondly, it is evidence that God’s promises to the people of Israel do not stand alone but are directly connected to previously established promises to the land. The third and most important reason is what this promise says about the character of God. He is the God who keeps His word. We see this promise fulfilled right before our eyes from 1948 to the present. Hallelujah!

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem.

Fishers, Hunters, and Ezekiel 20

22 05 2025

Domestic terrorism has moved from violent protests to premeditated murder. The tragic terror killing of two Israeli Embassy workers in Washington, DC takes terror to another level. The fact that the victims were Jewish believers in Jesus simply amplifies the implications. For years Iran has said Israel is the little Satan and America is the big Satan. Jihadists have also said for years: “First the Saturday people, then the Sunday people.” Now we see it on our own soil. What does the Bible say about these prophetic times? Here is a principle of fishers and hunters revealed in Jeremiah 16 about the regathering of Israel from all the countries where they had been scattered in Divine judgement.

“Therefore behold, the days are coming,” says Yehovah, “that it shall no more be said, ‘Yehovah lives who brought up the children of Israel from the land of Egypt,’ but, ‘Yehovah lives who brought up the children of Israel from the land of the north and from all the lands where He had driven them.’ For I will bring them back into their land which I gave to their fathers. Behold, I will send for many fishermen,” says Yehovah, “and they shall fish them; and afterward I will send for many hunters, and they shall hunt them from every mountain and every hill, and out of the holes of the rocks.” Jeremiah 16:14-16

First comes the invitation and positive encouragement for Jews to return to the land of Israel. After that will come hunters. This suggests violence. This pattern is clearly seen in Nazi Germany in the 1930s and 1940s. The United States has about 6-7 million Jews, almost as many as Israel with around 8 million. Last night’s terror attack suggest the hunters may be on the move. We must pray that America’s Jews will obey the Holy Spirit impulse to return to Israel, the land of their fathers.

One more Bible reference is revealing. Ezekiel warns of a time when God will separate the rebellious Jews from those who obey Yehovah’s voice. In my studied opinion, the “wilderness of the peoples” refers to the U.S. If true, then we are entering the season of separating out the rebels.

“As I live,” says the Lord Yehovah, “surely with a mighty hand, with an outstretched arm, and with fury poured out, I will rule over you. I will bring you out from the peoples and gather you out of the countries where you are scattered, with a mighty hand, with an outstretched arm, and with fury poured out. And I will bring you into the wilderness of the peoples, and there I will plead My case with you face to face. Just as I pleaded My case with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so I will plead My case with you,” says the Lord Yehovah. I will make you pass under the rod, and I will bring you into the bond of the covenant; I will purge the rebels from among you, and those who transgress against Me; I will bring them out of the country where they dwell, but they shall not enter the land of Israel. Then you will know that I am Yehovah.” Ezekiel 20:33-38

Pray that American Jews will heed the call and be blessed through obedience. Pray for Prime Minister Netanyahu and President Trump for wisdom from above. And PRAY FOR THE PEACE OF JERUSALEM!

Jerusalem Under Siege by Babylon, Buy Now!

24 04 2025

The art of the deal is a hot topic in 2025, but maybe the best deal in the Bible was when Jeremiah bought land as Jerusalem was surrounded by Nebuchadnezzar’s army. It led to the total destruction of the city. Why did God tell Jeremiah to buy land then? One commentator said it was the worst deal ever. But I disagree. Jerusalem was literally under siege and Jeremiah was in prison, but Yehovah knew the end from the beginning. I imagine he bought the land for a song, considering the hopeless situation. But 70 years later, Israel returned with the backing of Cyrus, King of Persia and much wealth. Suddenly Jeremiah’s land was extremely valuable. Of course, that is not the main story.

God had him buy it as a prophetic act, signaling the promise of God to bring His people back from captivity. It is about the faithfulness of God. Israel had sinned, worshipping idols and pagan gods, but God was faithful! They deserved, yes, even earned their severe judgement, but God promised their fathers He would bless Israel. Look how Jeremiah trusted God in response to the ridiculous idea of buying property during a war with defeat inevitable. (In your investments, listen to God!)

“Now when I had delivered the purchase deed to Baruch the son of Neriah, I prayed to Yehovah, saying: ‘Ah, Lord Yehovah! Behold, You have made the heavens and the earth by Your great power and outstretched arm. There is nothing too hard for You. You show lovingkindness to thousands, and repay the iniquity of the fathers into the bosom of their children after them—the Great, the Mighty God, whose NAME is Yehovah of hosts. You are great in counsel and mighty in work, for Your eyes are open to all the ways of the sons of men, to give everyone according to his ways and according to the fruit of his doings’… Then the word of Yehovah came to Jeremiah, saying, “Behold, I am Yehovah, the God of all flesh. Is there anything too hard for Me?” Jeremiah 32:16-19 and 26-27

God answered him by a mighty declaration followed by His plan. He will destroy their generation because of their sin, but He will bring them back from captivity and again they will buy and sell land and live in peace worshipping Yehovah!

“For thus says Yehovah: ‘Just as I have brought all this great calamity on this people, so I will bring on them all the good that I have promised them. And fields will be bought in this land of which you say, “It is desolate, without man or beast; it has been given into the hand of the Chaldeans.” Men will buy fields for money, sign deeds and seal them, and take witnesses, in the land of Benjamin, in the places around Jerusalem, in the cities of Judah, in the cities of the mountains, in the cities of the lowland, and in the cities of the South; for I will cause their captives to return,’ says Yehovah.” Jeremiah 32:42-44

Today we must pray for Bibi Netanyahu, Israel’s Prime Minister and also President Trump for three specific requests. 1. Pray that they hear the wisdom of God. 2. Pray for courage. 3. Pray that they will do the right thing. Hearing and obeying God with action is the only hope for Israel, the US, and for each one of us.

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!

Lamb’s Blood Never Worked

17 04 2025

Passover was never about killing a lamb to remove sin. It was always a picture of the Messiah as the Lamb of Yehovah God. Putting blood on the doorposts was an act of obedience which exempted the family from the severe judgement on Egypt, the death of the firstborn. A little lamb dying never could take away sin. Even under Mosaic law it only covered sin for another year. The Hebrew word for atonement is “covering” in this verse. Sins were forgiven a year at a time.

“And he shall do with the bull as he did with the bull as a sin offering; thus he shall do with it. So the priest shall make atonement for them, and it shall be forgiven them.” Leviticus 4:20

“For the law, having a shadow of the good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with these same sacrifices, which they offer continually year by year, make those who approach perfect.For then would they not have ceased to be offered? For the worshipers, once purified, would have had no more consciousness of sins.But in those sacrifices there is a reminder of sins every year. For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and goats could take away sins.” Hebrews 10:1-4

“By that will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. And every priest stands ministering daily and offering repeatedly the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins. But this Man, after He had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down at the right hand of God,” Hebrews 10:10-12

“Behold, the days are coming, says Yehovah, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah—not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt, My covenant which they broke, though I was a husband to them, says Yehovah.But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says Yehovah: I will put My law in their minds, and write it on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people.No more shall every man teach his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, ‘Know Yehovah,’ for they all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them, says Yehovah. For I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more.” Jeremiah 31:31-34

God spoke these words to Jeremiah over 500 years before Messiah Yeshua came. It has always been Gods plan. Total forgiveness is His plan! Jesus is the Lamb! The great news is that after He gave His life, He was raised from the dead! That is why we celebrate Resurrection Day every year. Hallelujah to the Lamb!

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem and deliverance from her enemies!
