Iran’s Apocalyptic Regime Rejects Trump’s Final Offer As Operation Intensifies

Iran’s regime has officially rejected a ceasefire proposal from the United States. President Trump had given Iran until Tuesday to accept, making very clear that it is his final offer. Yet Iran’s apocalyptic Islamic regime has opted to continue its jihad against the U.S. and Israel, just as it has for 47 years.

The fanatics in Tehran want to go out in a blaze of glory to meet their god, Allah. President Trump realizes this, and he is now going to intensify the U.S. operation against the world’s number one state sponsor of terrorism.

“47 years they’ve been negotiating with these people,” President Trump underscored at a press briefing on Monday. “They’re great negotiators. They’re not going to have a nuclear weapon. And if somebody that takes my place someday is weak and ineffective, which possibly that will happen. We had numerous presidents that were weak, ineffective, and afraid of Iran…”

“We’re never going to let Iran have a nuclear weapon, and if you think it’s okay for people that are sick of mind, that are tough, smart, and sick—really sick ideologically from a policy standpoint—any which way you want to say, mentally, these are disturbed people,” he stressed. “If you think I’m going to allow them to have a nuclear weapon, you can tell your friends at The New York Times, not going to happen.”

Now I’m sure the left-wing mouthpiece known as the New York Times is disappointed by that. It’s also very bad news for Iran’s ayatollahs, who are already barely hanging on by a thread after a masterful military performance by the United States and Israel these past five weeks. Iran’s leadership and military capabilities have been decimated in historic fashion.

If that weren’t enough, we witnessed an Easter miracle on Iranian soil over the weekend.

On Good Friday, a U.S. F-15 fighter jet was shot down over Iran. The first pilot was quickly rescued by U.S. forces, but the second F-15 airman went missing inside Iran—the most hostile of territories. To top it off, he was seriously wounded.

However, as Iranian forces hunted him down, he was able to walk over six miles across the desert and scale a 7,000-foot-high mountain, where he hid in a crevice. He survived approximately 36 hours in the mountains of Iran, wounded, as hordes of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps henchmen searched for him. You can only imagine what they would have done if they had found him!

“Despite the peril, the officer followed his training and climbed into the treacherous mountain terrain and started climbing toward a higher altitude, something they were trained to do, in order to evade capture,” the President detailed. “We immediately mobilized a massive operation to retrieve him from the mountain holdout, and he kept going higher and higher. The mountain kept getting rougher and rougher. And really, very, very hard to find. The second rescue mission involved 155 aircraft, including four bombers, 64 fighters, 48 refueling tankers, 13 rescue aircraft, and more.”

Thankfully, the United States military leaves no man behind.

The U.S. Special Forces team was able to locate the missing airman and extract him from Iran on Easter Sunday as U.S. forces exchanged fire with Iranian forces and U.S. and Israeli planes bombed Iranian convoys from above. Amazing.

There were no casualties, but there were also some major obstacles that had to be overcome, including two U.S. cargo planes that apparently got stuck in the sand and had to be destroyed.

Interestingly, the rescued airman is reportedly a devout Christian and said “God is good” over his radio as he ejected from the plane over Iran, unsure of what awaited him below.

God is good all the time, and He proved it once again this weekend in the mountains and deserts of Iran. He is still a God of miracles.

Shifting Geopolitical Landscape: Examining The ‘Abraham Accords’ Through A Biblical Lens

Because they are frequently mentioned in the news, it’s likely that many people are aware of the Abraham Accords and generally understand their purpose. However, if you were to ask the average person to elaborate on what it means to “normalize relations” with Israel, or what realistically takes place when a country becomes a signatory to the Accords, it’s doubtful that most would be able to confidently answer the question. So, what exactly do these agreements do, and why should we, as Christians, pay attention to them?

Vigilant To Protect: A Pastor’s Responsibility To Call Out False Teachers

I recently watched a minister online. He gave a scathing critique of those who dare call out purveyors of false doctrine. He said we should love our fellow Christians. Paradoxically, he criticized those who criticize others. He seemed intent on inoculating his followers — making them immune to charges of false doctrine against his friends and himself. In one sense, the attack seemed pious. Don’t criticize. Be loving. Be sweet. But Jesus ran the money changers out of the temple.

Michele Bachmann’s Advice To The President: ‘Take The Handcuffs Off Of Israel’

Michele Bachmann, a former congresswoman, 2012 Presidential Candidate, and outspoken friend of the Jewish State, advised the President to “take the handcuffs off of Israel” and enable the nation to handle its own self-defense unencumbered. On the premiere episode of “Falling Into Place” alongside co-host Jan Markell, Bachmann noted that Israel is being strong-armed into absorbing attacks on its nation—something that the United States, if it were in the same position, would never deem acceptable.
