Iraq’s Third Rocket Attack Within a Week Targets US Embassy in Baghdad

Iraq’s Green Zone was targeted by another barrage of rockets on Monday; The Green Zone is located in the capital city of Baghdad and hosts a significant number of US interests, including the embassy.


Two rockets landed inside of Baghdad’s Green Zone on Monday in what is now the third rocket attack in Iraq within one week – this time targeting the US embassy. In addition to the rockets landing within the Green Zone, several others are reported to have landed in the surrounding civilian area(s). It is believed that once again, Iranian-sponsored fighters are responsible for the strike.

While no casualties were reported after the attack, several vehicles were destroyed and a structure was damaged. According to a source in the Green Zone, the air defense system did not deploy because the rockets heading in the direction of the GZ were not projected to reach their destination.

Monday’s attack follows two others that occurred north of Baghdad last week. Most recently, rockets were fired at an airbase in Balad, where a US aircraft maintenance company is located. And earlier last week, a foreign civilian contractor working for the US was killed after at least 14 rockets were fired at a base in Erbil, located in northern Iraq.

Pro-Iranian militias were responsible for both of last week’s attacks.

Iran Is Not Simply A Political Talking Point, Its A Major Player In End Times Prophecy

We are seeing headlines of courageous men and women standing up at great personal cost to the Iranian regime. We should all be praying for the people of Iran—especially for the many Iranian Christians among them. Pray for freedom, protection, and the gospel to continue spreading. Iran is not simply a political talking point, but what many, including myself, believe is a land of biblical significance. Iran (ancient Persia) is considered a major player in end times prophecy.

Though Its Implications Are Overwhelming, The Sound Doctrine Of Hell Is Vitally Important

With that terse observation, the late church historian Martin Marty summarized our attitude toward a vanishing doctrine that received a great deal of attention in previous generations. Hell is scarcely mentioned in most evangelical churches today. I must ask: When is the last time you heard a sermon or a serious Bible lesson on the topic? Sometimes it is given a quick mention, but yes, Marty is right, hell has disappeared, and we didn’t even notice.

Wednesday, January 14th: A Call To Prayer And Repentance For America

If you think our nation is in trouble now, just wait… As our streets boil over with hate, anger, crime, drugs, and just sheer hopelessness, is there something we can do? You bet there is. I would like to call for a time of prayer and repentance this Wednesday, January 14, at 12:00 noon. As a nation our sins are so great. We have increasingly turned our backs on God and His commands, embracing godless secularism. We need to ask His forgiveness and seek His face.
