Speaking at a White House briefing, press secretary Karoline Leavitt said the president remains willing to listen as talks with Tehran continue, but stressed the regime is now being given a final opportunity to accept the reality of its battlefield defeat and come to terms. “Iran should not miscalculate again,” Leavitt warned, arguing that the regime’s last miscalculation has already cost it “their senior leadership, their navy, their air force, and their air defense system.”

The hatred for Daniel’s people–Israel—is so prevalent at this late hour of this dispensation (the Age of Grace) that a large portion of our nation has lost its collective mind. They have become totally reprobate, as Paul prophesied in Romans 1:28. The haters have become mad and upside down in their ability to reason when it comes to the much-hated Israel.
The Iranian regime spent the weekend reminding everyone why Operation Epic Fury was necessary. Intentionally targeting civilians, attacking holy sites in Jerusalem, firing long-range missiles at a US base, and taking aim at Israel's Dimona nuclear reactor, Iran's regime once again showed its true evil face.
I’ve been troubled by the increasing number of churches and Bible teachers who are misinterpreting God’s timeless promises to the nation of Israel and the Jewish people. This false teaching, called replacement theology, suggests that God’s covenant blessing with the nation of Israel and its allies no longer exists and instead has somehow been reinterpreted to apply only to God’s modern-day fellowship of believers, His church. Nevertheless, a faithful reading of Scripture proves unequivocally that God’s covenant with Abram in Genesis 12:2-3 remains true as ever today
The Strait of Hormuz has remained at the center of escalating tensions between the United States, Israel, and Iran for decades. Right now, the Strait remains Iran's most potent non-nuclear weapon. A desperate, weakened Iran, with fewer strategic options, sees the Strait as its last remaining leverage, a geographical choke point where it holds a strategic advantage.
However, decimating Iran’s arsenal, leadership, and nuclear ambitions alone won't guarantee regime change. That will come only through the people, the military, and the police collectively turning really against the IRGC and against all of the remaining Iranian leadership. Time will tell whether or not the regime in Iran will fall—but even if it does, that shift will not change what God’s Word says is coming.
The harm that this teaching causes extends far beyond the walls of the churches where it’s proclaimed. The belief that the church, rather than Israel, fulfills all of God’s kingdom promises to the Jewish people breeds antisemitism among Christians, which far too often spills over into the unbelieving world. We understand Satan’s hatred of Israel and the Jewish people that’s becoming increasingly evident in the unbelieving world, but its presence among believers is inexcusable at best.
The regime's leadership is being taken out one by one. In just 19 days since Operation Epic Fury began, Iran's Air Force, Navy, and missile defenses have all been destroyed. Its ballistic missile and drone launches have also plummeted. The US and Israel, working side by side, are completely obliterating Iran's entire military and terror infrastructure in stunning fashion. President Trump posted on Wednesday that "the world's number one state sponsor of terrorism" is being put "out of business."
Former Fox host Tucker Carlson once again found himself at the center of a media firestorm after sitting down for a cozy, unhurried chat with Nick Fuentes, a well-known antisemite, white nationalist, and Holocaust denier. The New York Times noted that the interview set off a civil war inside Conservatism Inc., but Carlson seemed baffled that anyone was upset. After all, he wasn’t endorsing Fuentes; he was just handing him a microphone and a warm cup of fairness.
As they walked the streets of Beirut to visit the displaced, one church team identified many sick people with no access to medication. The team came back the very next day with the exact medications needed as well as food assistance. One of those who received help began weeping and said, “You didn’t lie to us. Everyone else takes our pictures and disappears, but you came back the next day.”
Officials say Russia has also supplied Iran with detailed intelligence on U.S. and allied military positions, including sensitive radar installations in countries such as Jordan, Bahrain, Kuwait, and Oman. This intelligence support is believed to have contributed to more precise Iranian strikes in recent weeks, particularly against early-warning defense systems.
“[T]here is a church in Iran, and it’s a beautiful church. It’s a church that over the last 47 years has grown rapidly. … [W]e don’t know the exact numbers, but what we do know is that there has been very rapid growth. … [I]t’s a church that has been persecuted, it has suffered, and it has shown itself to be resilient.”
To get an idea of just how far the West has fallen, compare the current US military operation against Iran to the effort to defeat Nazi Germany during World War II. Today, the free world is facing a modern-day Nazi death cult in the form of Iran's regime. You would think the entire free world would unite to eliminate this existential threat, just as it did during World War II—but 2026 is not 1941.
When the church forgets Israel, arrogance often follows—and arrogance breeds antisemitism. Church history bears painful witness to this. Yet antisemitism is again on the rise. Replacement theology, by denying Israel’s place in God’s plan, risks fueling this hatred anew. Antisemitism is an affront to God’s heart. His love for Israel has never expired, and Genesis 12:3 still stands: “I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who curses you.” Antisemites hate what God loves.
President Donald Trump is warning that NATO could face serious consequences if US allies do not step in to help reopen the Strait of Hormuz after Iran’s actions disrupted the vital shipping route. In an interview published Sunday by the Financial Times, Trump said countries that depend heavily on oil passing through the strait should assist the United States in securing it. He argued the burden should not fall only on Washington.
The historic partnership between the United States and Israel during Operation Epic Fury has been a sight to see. Analysts are describing the blitz against the Iranian regime as “one of the most coordinated Allied operations in modern warfare.” The deep friendship Israel holds with the Trump administration has been a game-changer in the Middle East, one that stands in sharp contrast to others that came before.
Mark your calendar and remember the events of this month. March 2026 will go down as a turning point in the battle against global jihad. The United States and Israel are currently in the midst of a crucial operation to destroy the undisputed kingpins of Islamic terror, the Iranian regime. There is concern that the regime could try to activate cells in the United States as well. March 2026 has already been a very memorable month for jihad in America, and for all the wrong reasons.
If there has been a justifiable war since World War II, this may be it. This is not defending oil-rich countries made wealthy by American dependence. This is confronting a direct threat to our security and to that of our natural ally, Israel. President Trump should be commended for taking the regime at its word and responding — not because it was politically popular, but because it was justified, militarily and morally.
Does our view of Israel really matter? Yes—because it relates to the credibility of Scripture and the character of God. A theology that redefines God’s promises inevitably reshapes how His people are viewed. The conviction that God will yet fulfill His promises to Israel is not political; it is Biblical. And in a world where antisemitism is again rising, it is a conviction Christians cannot afford to surrender.
Allowing this kind of language—"From The River To The Sea"—to flourish only fuels the spread of antisemitism. The results can be seen through increasing attacks on synagogues and the Jewish community. Canada has got to wake up and confront this immediately. The recent attacks on synagogues in Toronto remind us of a sobering truth when we look to God's Word. The Bible reminds us that when leaders fail to act, the people will suffer. Proverbs 29:2 reads, "When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man rules, the people groan."
In an article in the National Interest, Jason Brodsky, policy director of United Against Nuclear Iran, said the new leadership points to a “dark turn for the Islamic republic,” while Janatan Sayeh of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies said Khamenei “embodies his father’s legacy and all of the Islamic Republic’s defining pathologies: theocratic rule, human rights abuses, destabilizing foreign policy ambitions, and kleptocracy."
Tucker Carlson is currently looking for anything he can blame Israel and the Jews for. That is the epitome of demonization. He is at it again with more lies about Israel and the Jews. The demonizing continues. This time, he claims that an orthodox Jewish sect known as Chabad-Lubavitch started the Iran war (and pulled the USA into it) because Chabad wants to usher in the building of the Third Temple in Jerusalem.
The nation of Elam ceased to exist when it was attacked and absorbed into the Babylonian Empire. It became a province of that empire. It subsequently continued as a province, and not an independent nation, when it became part of the Persian, Greek, and Roman empires. Today, it is a province of Iran. Jeremiah’s prophecy says it will be shattered when it exists as a nation (verse 37). That occurred long ago.
The Iranian church is the fastest growing church in the world. On February 15th, I was asked by a group of ministry leaders to write a letter to the Iranian church with the assurance that it would be delivered through their extensive networks. After prayer and fasting, I felt led to write the letter that included a prayer. I submitted it on February 16th, very compelled that time was of the essence to get it out immediately. And then the satellites shut down all communication. With God’s help it has filtered into the hands of Iranian house churches, with reports coming back that it is being memorized and passed from person to person.
Australia has granted humanitarian visas to five Iranian women’s soccer players who sought asylum amid fears for their safety if they returned to the Islamic Republic, authorities confirmed.
After decades in exile, Iranian Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi is widely seen within the diaspora as the most credible opposition figure to lead Iran. Should the Islamic Republic completely collapse, Pahlavi is positioning himself as the voice for a democratic secular transition. This is the question on everyone's mind: How will the Iranian people respond the day after the Islamic Republic falls?
Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East, and yet the media portrays her as the villain of the world. I believe this is a supernatural hatred that comes from the pit of hell—spiritual warfare against the plan of God and the Jewish people. Questions from some in the church, about the position of Israel as the elected people of God and the return of the Jewish people to their homeland as acts of God, are rooted in Biblical illiteracy.
No mention of Israel. No clear land boundaries. Assumed colonization and occupation throughout the document. Ignoring the clear one-sided Palestinian agenda, the rest of the language will appeal to our post-modern, social justice-hungry global village, and that is the real challenge, because most people have already accepted the Palestinian narrative as Gospel, so this document will probably look very promising to them.
The war has illuminated the reality that Israel stands as our greatest ally in the world—and it's not even close. Working together side by side, our two militaries are obliterating a truly wicked regime, the world's number one state sponsor of terrorism, eliminating an imminent threat to the entire free world. Many European countries are another story entirely.
In his quest to discredit Israel as God’s chosen nation, Tucker Carlson recently joked that the Old Testament should be updated and rewritten. Because of podcasters like Tucker, Israel—ethnically, theologically, and politically—has become part of a larger debate in the media on U.S. foreign policy. Therefore, the Old Testament is frequently targeted because of Israel’s central role in it. But what does God’s Word plainly say about the Old Testament?
We all watched as believers, churches and denominations dealt with the COVID pandemic, the Black Lives Matter movement, the movement to redefine gender and sexuality, and then the DEI movement. And yet, we’re seeing an even bigger test today—what I would call The Israel Test—to reveal what we really believe about what I regard as clear Biblical teaching. I am, of course, talking about the replacement theology movement that has surfaced yet again.

Those who hold to a postmillennial view argue that Jesus is exercising His authority as King from heaven right now. The proof text for many postmillennialists is Psalm 110 and they conclude that Psalm 110:1 supports a present Davidic reign of Christ where He is gradually subduing all His enemies during this interadvent period. However, a consistent, literal interpretation of Scripture leads us to reject such a view, particularly when we undertake an examination of the three-fold work of Christ.
Iran’s state television network briefly lost control of one of its main channels on Wednesday after hackers interrupted programming and aired a message from Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi calling on the Iranian military to side with protesters against the Islamic Republic.
There are several geopolitical and prophetic implications of the current war in Iran. One major impact is that it is surfacing and strengthening the alliances that are presented in the Bible in Ezekiel chapter 38. This chapter in the Bible tells us that in the end times, when Israel is at rest and living securely, they are going to be invaded by a coalition of nations. If you look at the location of these ancient places on a modern map, it's very clear that the main leaders at the core of this coalition are Russia, Iran, and Turkey.
When the missiles started raining down on Iran Saturday, there was a sense of urgency for people to get to safety, yes, but there was also another overriding emotion for many: relief. The show of force by the U.S. and Israel was the violent answer to countless prayers offered up since January, when leaders massacred thousands of innocents to stop the wave of anti-regime protests gripping the country. Most of the nation had started to worry that the bloodbath would go unpunished by the world. They were wrong.
Something took place in the seaside town of Brighton, England, that will send chills down your spine. A group of pro-Palestinian activists went door-to-door, clipboard in hand, and asked if people would or would not support Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) against Israel. The group, known as the “Brighton and Hove Apartheid-Free Zone,” went around challenging people about their support for Israel. The way the group is spinning the story is by claiming that they are activists, but this is not activism; this is intimidation.
The world trembles. Alliances shift. Rockets fly. Nations posture. But heaven is not shaken. The same God who preserved Israel in the days of Esther is still sovereign today. The same God who foretold Jerusalem would become a burden to the nations will bring His prophetic plan to completion. History is not spiraling out of control. It is moving toward a King
Khamenei spent the better part of his life terrorizing the Middle East and the world with his desire to spread the Islamic Republic's hateful ideology. He influenced the rise of Hamas and Hezbollah, terrorist organizations bent on the destruction of the Jewish State and God's chosen people. He announced "death to America" and "death to Israel," but his reign of terror ends with hope for the Iranian people. Hope that their freedom is near on the horizon.
President Donald Trump on Tuesday criticized Spain and the United Kingdom over access to military bases as US operations targeting Iran continue, saying some European allies have cooperated while others have not. He made the remarks during an Oval Office meeting with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz.
As Israel observes the feast of Purim, the barrages of Iranian missiles underscore the Jewish people's resilience in a whole new light. As Jews worldwide gather to eat hamantaschen and read the book of Esther for the feast of Purim, Israeli soldiers remain at their posts from Gaza to the North. Israeli civilians walk in fear, as a rain of missiles launch from the same geographical location at the center of the epic story detailed in the book of Esther.
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. So—is this Bible prophecy unfolding? While Scripture tells us not to set dates (but to watch and be ready), any turmoil in this part of the world should cause us to sit up.
Columbia University’s largest anti-Israel student organization posted “death to America” on its social media pages. The post was made after President Trump ordered military strikes on Iran. The Columbia University Apartheid Divest wrote in the message in Farsi. It was later deleted by X – but the group doubled down. “X forced us to delete our “marg bar amrika” tweet in order to gain back access to our account but the sentiment still stands,” the group wrote.
Amid the American and Israeli joint strikes on Iran and the death of Iranian supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Franklin Graham and other evangelical leaders have encouraged believers to remain prayerful. “The Iranian Islamic regime posed a serious threat to Israel and other peace-seeking nations. For believers, however, this is not a moment for celebration but for intercession."
The President not only encouraged prayer for God's help and protection, he also pinpointed a spiritual reason why such a large-scale military operation was absolutely necessary. "We sought repeatedly to make a deal," Trump stressed, adding that diplomatic efforts proved fruitless because the Iranian regime "just wanted to practice evil." There are some ideologies so deluded and entangled with "practicing evil" that their actions can no longer be swayed by reason. The regime in Tehran was a perfect example of this irrational—and demonic—mindset.
