The whole world seems to know better than Israel what is good for Israel. So, the Jewish state is being forced into a game of "geographical musical chairs," but every round they go, another chair is taken away. This lethal exercise is, of course, done in the name of peace in the Middle East.

Is 80 years a long time or a short time? If you consider that the vast majority of Holocaust survivors have now passed away or are primarily in their late eighties and nineties, it is a long time, and it presents a real danger; very soon, there will be no more first-hand witnesses of the Holocaust, facilitating the work of deniers and historical revisionists even more.
The gears continue to turn as the nations adjust into prophetic alignment. When the time is right, just as God's Word foretold in Ezekiel 38, Turkey, Iran, and Russia will all conspire to invade Israel.

In a conversation with Perkins the following day on “Washington Watch,” he was adamant, “We need to make sure … that biblical Judea, biblical Samaria, absolutely stays in control by the Israelis, by the Jewish people. It is their homeland. God gave it to them. And any attempt to make it anything other than that, in my opinion, is a non-starter.”
President-elect Trump promised two international victories by the time he took office. First, he would end the war between Russia and Ukraine. Second, he would get Israel’s hostages back. Unfortunately, with his inauguration less than a week away, he’s batting zero for two. All hostages must be returned. Sadly, looking at this deal it seems that “must” should probably be changed to “It’d be nice if….”
After President-elect Donald Trump warned Hamas that there would be "hell to pay" if the hostages were not released prior to his inauguration, the Iran-backed terrorist organization just in the nick of time has ended the months-long negotiating standoff, agreeing to a hostage deal with Israel.
Millions of Jews across Europe were terrorised, hunted and murdered by not only the Nazis, but those who collaborated with them. Hatred of the Jews did not end there and it is an inescapable fact that the same antisemitism which drove hatred of the Jews in the 1930s is once again infecting the hearts of many people today.

God is indeed taking note, and judgment will come one day soon. Until then, we will continue to grapple with Iran's schemes against the Jewish State. Will Iran strike Israel before Trump is inaugurated on January 20th? Iran knows that once Trump is in the Oval Office, he will rule with an iron fist, providing Israel with the full backing of the US. Iran is desperate. Will that translate into an attack on Israel in the coming days? Only God knows.
The greatest of all the end time signs is the existence of Israel. The “dry bones” have been regathered into a modern nation-state (Ezekiel 36-37) that continues to survive despite the concerted efforts of satanically inspired purveyors of hate.

As we head into the new year, several stories transpired at the end of 2024 that we weren’t expecting. The world watched in disbelief as the regime of Bashar al-Assad, which had ruled Syria for over five decades, collapsed in a shockingly rapid and dramatic turn of events.
Not only does this prophecy pinpoint the exact time the Messiah would be on Earth, but it also reaches thousands of years into the future to describe end-times events still on the horizon, including a unique time of horror and judgment known as the Great Tribulation, as well as God’s final deliverance of a redeemed Israel.

It’s becoming increasingly popular in churches today to assert that God has replaced Israel with the church. Some believe that the Lord rejected Israel, while others see the church as somehow the spiritual fulfillment of the kingdom promises made to Israel. I have many problems with such teaching, starting with the words of Paul in Romans 11:1-2...
Yemen has now become very crucial to Iran's overall strategy, which has unraveled over the past few weeks. We now have four rings on that Iranian ring of fire—really the main four—largely out of commission. This turn of events makes Yemen and the Houthis even more important to the Ayatollahs. They, in some respects, are the last man standing.
An interesting mappa mundi (a medieval map of the world) is kept in the National Library of Israel in Jerusalem. With Jerusalem as the center, The World in a Cloverleaf features three cloverleaves representing Asia, Africa, and Europe. Highlighted in the center of the map is Jerusalem, demonstrating that Israel is the bridge between the three continents.
Satanic deception fuels the notion that Jewish people stand in the way of the world’s redemption. Satan wants to convince humanity to hate Israel and the Jewish people as an imperative, righteous mission to save the world from Jewish influence.
Not only have we witnessed the fall of the Assad regime in less than two weeks, but we have also seen the ruins of Hamas and the destruction of Hezbollah commanders, along with over 80% of its missiles. Billions of dollars spent by the Iranian regime to fund terror with the intent of destroying Israel have literally gone up in smoke.
For a UK Prime Minister’s official spokesman to publicly announce the government wants to hold talks with a proscribed terrorist is tantamount to saying to every jihadist group in the world who persecutes Christians: “if you are successful, topple an existing government and seize power – we will, in effect, recognise you as the government of that country”
It’s true, we are not officially at peace.
There is still fighting going on in Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, and the West Bank. However, for the most part, the action is taking place outside our borders with very few aerial or ground terrorist attacks. I can’t say that it is back to how it was before the black day of October 7, 2023. It can never again be how it used to be. In some ways we are better off now than we were then. In others, we are worse.
The Palestinian Jesus was borne out of a faulty theology known as Christian Palestinianism. It is the same theology promoted by the creators of "Christ at the Checkpoint." The agenda aims at re-writing history to take everything Jewish out of the Bible, including Jesus' Jewish heritage and identity.
Despite al-Jolani's threat on Saturday, Israel continued on Sunday with a massive barrage against targets in Syria near the Mediterranean coast. Israel used what is being called by major media outlets globally an "earthquake bomb." Whether its first use by Israel was on Sunday or possibly previously in Beirut, this was at least the first public unveiling. It registered on the Richter scale and caused a significant mushroom cloud.
The apostle Paul did not want the church to “be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own opinion, that blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in” (Romans 11:25). Paul knew, and we know today, that Israel’s people are in the land in unbelief. But one day God will breathe into His people the breath of spiritual life (Ezekiel 37:14)
Peace seems to be in the air. Even as Donald Trump holds the position of president-elect, peace overtures are pouring in all over the world. The momentum for peace across our globe is not only stunning, it is prophetically significant.
These times are historic. Ever since October 7, we’ve constantly reminded ourselves “…but God is still on the throne.” This past week, He reminded us that He was there all along working and maneuvering. Then, when the timing was right – Bam! – He stepped in and did something marvelous before our eyes.
“Like all Syrians, the Christian community is stunned by this rapid change in Syria’s political reality,” Chris Summers, global head of content at Open Doors, said in a statement. “In this kind of situation, uncertainty is always present—no one knows how the new leadership in Syria will treat minorities, including Christians."
The unbiblical claims underpinning the display are hard to miss: The often-repeated assertion that Jesus was "Palestinian" and the implication that if Christ were walking the earth today, He would be standing on the side of brutal terrorists who began the war by massacring 1,200 of His Jewish brethren.
Damascus, which is seated in close proximity to Israel's northern border and holds the title of the world's oldest continuously inhabited city, however, is incredibly consequential for the Jewish State as well as Bible-believing Christians. According to Isaiah 17:1, a day is coming when Syria's capitol will be destroyed in its entirety...
As believers, we can easily take the 3 D Test and identify Demonizing, Delegitimizing, or Double Standards. The challenge remains to do something about it, especially at a time when Jewish people do not know where to turn for help. The "3 D Test" is not the hard one. Can believers take the 3 P Test and pass it with flying colors? The 3Ps stand for Pray, Promote, and Provide.
Damascus is a city that the Bible predicts will be decimated (Isaiah 17:1). Widening out from the city itself, we can also see that Syria, which has been a bitter enemy of Israel since 1948, isn’t mentioned among the nations in the future war of Gog from the land of Magog described in Ezekiel 38. Ultimately, what we learn relating to the nation to Israel’s north is that Damascus must fall.
Donald Trump took a lot of flack over his decision to move the US Embassy. When you move the US Embassy to Jerusalem, you are acknowledging the fact that Jerusalem is Israel's Capital. That recognition is unacceptable to the world—despite what the God of the universe and history declares.
The hate Hamas cultivated inside of Gaza manifested on October 7, 2023, when Hamas invaded southern Israel, killing more than 1,200 innocent Israelis and migrant workers from other countries. Why? Because it hates the Jewish people and believes the land they bought and cultivated for decades belongs to Palestinians. Stripping away deceptive media and emotion, we see Israel grow in love and Hamas in hate.
Our globalist Canadian Prime Minister has chosen to stand with an ICC decision driven by antisemitism rather than stand up for Israel, the only democratic country in the Middle East that protects the same freedoms and values that Canada enjoys here in the West. Contrary to what Trudeau says and what we're currently seeing in our country, this is not who we are as Canadians.
Down in Israel the residents of north still aren’t able to go home, nor will they be able to until it is assured that the threat directly across the border has been dealt with. It had looked like we were well on the way to making that happen. But all that progress is being reversed.
The Bible tells us there must be a seven-year period when God again turns His attention to the Jewish people and Jerusalem. The length of this still future time comes the prophet Daniel who specified seventy weeks of years during which time the Lord will complete His redemptive purposes for choosing Israel (Daniel 9:24-27).
People worldwide consult Wikipedia, like the “Bible,” for factual truth and historical accuracy. A simple overview of its agenda-driven revisions on Zionism, Jewishness, and Palestine will suffice to prove otherwise. Rest assured that more revisions will be added.
The ICC ruling is blatantly anti-semitic, Smith asserted, adding that "it is one of the worst marks on them imaginable to indict a sitting prime minister who is defending his country against aggression. It's demonic, and we need to call it out."
Israel does not—Israel will not—recognize the validity of this decision. We will continue to do everything we must do to defend our citizens and defend our state against Iran's axis of terror—Iran and its terrorist proxies, which include Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis, and others. No biased antisemitic decision in the Hague will prevent the State of Israel from defending its citizens.
