MIDEAST REVIEW w/ Amir Tsarfati: A Little Glimpse Of Tribulation

Tragically, three more Israelis were killed last week in the latest terror attack to take place – this time by a Palestinian terrorist from the West Bank. Two of the young men killed were lifelong best friends from Kfar Saba. They weren’t even 30 years old. Another young man was also killed. So far, 14 Israelis have lost their lives at the hands of the “religion of peace.” When Israelis are killed, the Palestinians hand out candy and ignite fireworks. Need I say more?

Furthermore, yesterday, Israeli forces arrested terrorists planning an attack in Jerusalem on Passover. This is just one minor example of what’s taking place amid the IDF’s operation ‘Breakwater’. There are several other attempts that have been thwarted. At the end of March, 31 terrorists were arrested in just one night. In line with Israel’s vow to go on the offensive in response to the recent terror attacks, this operation is persistent in its focus on the West Bank (Judea & Samaria). Given that Ramadan is underway, the Palestinians are using it as motive for their actions.

Adding to the atrocities in Ukraine, a missile hit a train station in the Eastern region of the country, killing more than 50 people taking shelter inside. Several more were injured.

One has to wonder when enough will be enough for Russia. As the rest of Europe evaluates its response to what’s taking place in Ukraine, Finland and Sweden are likely to join NATO. Sweden is not only anxious to join, but plans to apply for membership in June. Any country flirting with NATO becomes a target of Russia. This is why Finland has been experiencing recent cyberattacks. Moscow is now calling on Ukraine to cease fighting or it will suffer strikes on government compounds, including Kyiv.

In Lebanon, Hezbollah sought to cover its tracks after a storage facility exploded that was filled with ammunition. The facility was located under a home. The Iranian-funded terror proxy cited electricity as the means for the explosion. Should you see the video(s) circulating on social media, you’ll understand how silly that claim is.

These days are dark and evil. With violence, terror, wars, death, and chaos all around us, we can sense the spiritual warfare! We are getting a little glimpse of what the world will be experiencing on a much greater level during the tribulation. The book of Revelation is addressing the tribulation, but at the same time it is revealing the reason for this intense warfare:

Revelation 12:12b KJV – “Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.”

If the devil is so angry about his coming end, you can imagine how hard he is trying to afflict us believers today as the rapture draws near!

Are you ready for the great exchange? He will be thrown down after we go up!

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.

Political Division, Persecution, And War: How Bible Prophecy Changes Our Perspective On World Affairs

As history hurtles toward the Last Days, we find ourselves trying to navigate through an increasingly hostile world. Politics are dividing our country and even our churches. People are becoming more cold-hearted, selfish, and angry. We are experiencing a breakdown that feels irreversible. Our problems do not have simple solutions, but we can find guidance in Scripture.
