In a staggering reversal, the self-proclaimed master negotiator gave in to virtually every demand of the Iranian regime. What the world witnessed was not the art of the deal; it was the art of the kneel. How does a man of such immense worldly confidence suffer such an absolute, sudden collapse of resolve? The answer does not lie in the realm of political strategy, economic leverage, diplomatic maneuvering or even secular psychology. President Donald Trump stepped into a room to negotiate a political contract, completely unaware that he was stepping onto a spiritual battlefield of an intense, ancient war.

Instead Of Telling Israel To ‘Wake Up And Smell The Reality’ With The Iran Deal, JD Vance Needs To Take His Own Advice

Much attention is focused on the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), which is intended to lead to a formal agreement with Iran over the next 60 days. After Israel voiced their rightful concerns, Vice President JD Vance lashed out at the Jewish State, calling members of Netanyahu’s cabinet to “wake up and smell the reality of the situation.”

It Doesn’t Take A Brain Surgeon To See Through Iran’s Strategy In Lebanon… So Why Is America Putting Up With It?

Israel has pounded Hezbollah and left it in tatters. Iran knows that Hezbollah is in very big trouble and badly wants to save the crown jewel of its proxy network. The regime not only demanded to have Lebanon included in the Memorandum of Understanding that was signed by President Trump last week, but also ordered Hezbollah to continue attacking Israel. The Jewish State gets the blame when it responds, and the U.S. then calls for Israeli restraint. Do you see how this works?

Israel’s Existence Is Not Predicated On Who Sits In The Oval Office

As the Bible profoundly declares, Israel’s existence is not predicated on who sits in the Oval Office, whether its enemies acquire weapons of mass destruction, or its popularity on the world scene. The Jewish State exists today by the sovereign hand and authority of God, who promised to regather the Jews into their ancestral homeland for “His Holy name’s sake” and protect them from ever being uprooted again. Israel's survival is as divinely guaranteed as the prophetic words of God who swore to restore them as a nation. The same can not be said for the United States.

A Baffling Deal With The Most Untrustworthy Regime On The Planet

It's not hard to imagine what Iran's regime will do with a financial windfall of hundreds of billions of dollars. Again, they will lie low as much as they can until Trump leaves office, and then they will resume pouring those newfound billions into rebuilding their nuclear and missile programs and funding the likes of Hamas and Hezbollah. President Trump is no dummy. He knows what Iran's regime is all about, but it seems the economic factor loomed large here. He warned yesterday of a “global depression” if the Iran issue was not resolved soon.

Capitulating To The Enemy?: The Good, The Bad, And The Unknown In The Memorandum of Understanding

How could this person do these things? It makes no sense! That is how I have felt these past few weeks as I’ve watched the actions taken by President Donald Trump. I love the man. He has done so much for my country, especially when it comes to how we’ve dealt with Gaza. But his recent decisions regarding Iran have left me baffled.

The Iran Deal Leaves A Regime Standing That Fired Ballistic Missiles On My Children… Forgive Me If I Don’t Stand Up And Clap

My family spent weeks, like everyone else in Israel, listening for rocket alerts that went off day and night. I had to learn the geography of my own neighborhood in a brand new way. I know where the bomb shelters are. I know if my kids want to go to the park, to ensure that there is a fortified concrete shelter within a 90-second radius. Can you imagine that? The deal that's being celebrated may buy everyone in America 25 cents cheaper gas, but it's going to leave a regime standing that fired ballistic missiles on my children at two o'clock in the morning.

If America Empowers A Regime That Openly Calls For Israel’s Destruction, There Will Be Significant Consequences

There is also a biblical dimension that many Christians will immediately recognize. Genesis 12:3 records God’s promise to Abraham: ” I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who curses you.” That principle has never been revoked. God’s covenant relationship with Israel remains intact. Any policy that strengthens Israel’s enemies while weakening Israel’s security should concern Christians who take Scripture seriously. This is not simply a matter of foreign policy. It is also a matter of biblical recompense for foolish actions that jeopardize Israel and the West.

Why Israel Refused to Stay Silent In The Face Of Endless Attacks From Hezbollah

The IDF responded after Hezbollah rockets and drones struck Israeli territory in the north, despite intense behind-the-scenes pressure from the Trump administration to absorb the fire to protect ongoing diplomatic negotiations. A lesser government in the Jewish State would have stayed quiet to keep Washington happy, but Israel didn't. Why? Because they reserve the right to defend itself from the barrage of endless attacks from Hezbollah and, ultimately, the source of all the terrorism, Iran.

Trump, Iran, And Israel’s Place In Future Bible Prophecy

I do not know what will happen in the coming days, weeks, and months in the war between Israel and Iran. But with history as our guide, we know that Iran will not give up on its desire to acquire nuclear weapons nor its desire to destroy Israel. With Scripture as our guide, we know the Persian state’s desire to inflict as much terror as possible on the Jewish state will not end until the Lord destroys it.

Israel Remains Blessed, Not Because The Nations Approve, But Because The Lord Has Spoken

In the book of Numbers, Balak, king of Moab, was terrified of Israel. He saw the Israelites not as a people under God’s care, but as a threat to be neutralized. Because he couldn’t destroy Israel militarily, he sought out Balaam—a hired pagan seer whom Balak believed could bend God’s will for a price. Balak wanted Israel cursed, and Balaam entertained the idea for personal gain. Many still line up to carry out Balak’s bidding. They may dress their words in morality, theology, or altruism; but they still feed the ancient impulse to curse whom God has blessed.

A Biblical Love: Evangelical Christians Are The Backbone Of Israel’s Support In The United States

Theodor Herzl, the father of modern Zionism, considered William Henry Hechler the first Christian Zionist. Herzl believed the Jewish people’s fate could no longer rest in the hands of nations that accepted them one minute and screamed “Death to the Jews” the next minute. The Jewish people, he believed, needed a homeland of their own. Hechler was as passionate as Herzl but for an entirely different reason. As a Christian, his hope was for Israel’s restoration, which he saw as rooted in Scripture. God promised to return the Jewish people to their ancient homeland, and Hechler believed Him.

The Bottom Line: You Cannot Make Any Sort Of Credible Deal With A Modern-day Nazi Death Cult

President Trump seems to have had enough. Over the past two months, he has shown extraordinary patience in negotiating with Iran and trying to close a deal that would end the war. Even though Iran's regime violated the ceasefire time after time, attacking U.S. bases and our allies in the region, the president maintained that Iran wanted a deal and that progress was being made. Yet, something seemed to shift earlier this week when Iran shot down a U.S. Apache helicopter over the Strait of Hormuz.

A Time To Act: Is Now The Moment For Netanyahu To Declare A New ‘Independence Day’ For Israel

President Trump says that Prime Minister Netanyahu will accept whatever deal his administration makes. Maybe, maybe not. Netanyahu could see the approaching November midterm elections in America and even Israeli elections in October, and declare that this is the moment for a new Israeli Independence Day. Netanyahu knows that there is a growing number of congressmembers who want to reduce Israel's dependence on the United States. Both the Prime Minister and Israel as a whole agree. In 1948, independence meant Israel would become a country—a new Independence Day means Israel gets to hit, and hit back hard, against any threat that thinks Israel shouldn't be one.

Iran’s Unprovoked Ballistic Missile Attack On Israel Is A Big Development, But Is Anyone Truly Surprised?

It is absolutely intolerable to have missiles raining down on your country. Would Americans just sit back and absorb ballistic missiles bombarding the U.S. mainland? Of course we wouldn't! Which is why it was so confusing when President Trump tried to restrain Israel, urging Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu not to respond to Iran's unprovoked missile attack. The president wants a deal with Iran—a deal which will not be worth the paper it's written on.

Ezekiel 36 emphasizes that when the Jews return to the land, they will do so in unbelief. There will be spiritual regeneration much later! The dry bones of Ezekiel 37 reflect a lack of breath or spiritual life. God states he is gathering them back “not for your sake but for my holy name’s sake,” because their presence among the nations caused his name to be profaned. Ezekiel 36 promises that once back in the land, God will cleanse them, give them a new spirit, and cause them to walk in his statutes. But much later.

As History Repeats Itself, Have The Tireless Education Efforts From Holocaust Survivors Been In Vain?

The antisemitic rise in Canada and around the world has been horrific and alarming. For Holocaust survivor Marie Doduck, it is almost like reliving her childhood all over again, as Jew-hatred and false characterizations about the Jewish people continue to flood our society with little to nothing being done about it. Around the world, the Palestinians and their supporters make their allegiance clear, regularly brandishing the Nazi salute, praising their “final solution to the Jewish question,” and voicing their disappointment that Hitler did not succeed in eradicating all Jews—men, women, and children. This is far from an isolated incident; this vocal Nazi-aligned rhetoric has become disturbingly widespread. History seems to be repeating itself.

I Believe The President Has Earned The Benefit Of The Doubt When It Comes To Iran

For all the commentary and hot takes over the long holiday weekend about a potential Iran deal, here's the bottom line: We still don't know what exactly an agreement will contain. But here's what we do know up front. During his first term, President Trump pulled out of the disastrous Iran nuclear deal that was negotiated by former President Barack Obama. It seems very unlikely that he would sign on to a new agreement that repeats Obama's mistakes. I believe the President has earned the benefit of the doubt when it comes to Iran. Over his two terms in office, he's made all the right moves against the regime.

With the leadership of Javier Milei, who stood shoulder to shoulder with Israel, blessing the Jewish state, Argentina is alive again.

Once again, people want to believe that IDF soldiers are monsters committing rape and other acts of sexual violence on Palestinians. When facts no longer matter, anything can happen.

Biblical Insight: No Matter The Iran War’s Outcome, It Will Not Result In A Lasting Peace

As Christians who believe in God’s prophetic Word in Scripture, we have a key piece of insight. Even if a deal of some fashion is reached, or better yet, regime change that embraces Israel and the West, lasting peace will not be the outcome. Ezekiel 38 and 39 tell us that Persia—modern-day Iran—will once again come against Israel in a future war, in another attempt to destroy Israel.

It’s difficult to grasp how dramatically everything has changed since Hamas crossed the border into Israel on October 7, 2023. Hamas still exists and might rise again, but, for now, it is a shell of its former self. Hezbollah keeps finding and firing remnants of its old missile arsenal, but it has nothing like the stockpile it had just 2½ years ago. The new regime in Syria is wicked and dangerous, but it is not linked to Iran as the old Assad regime had been. The Houthis, the Shiite militias in Iraq, and other enemies of Israel still exist. But the Iranian regime that once fed and directed them has been shattered.

In my experience, however, they are the most aggressive in promoting the church as the new Israel and the least tolerant of those who disagree with them on this topic. Even so, some might ask, “What’s the big deal?”

For the first time since 1968, the great Isaiah scroll from the Dead Sea Scrolls is being displayed in its full length at the Israel Museum in Jerusalem. They were discovered in 1947, just one year before the establishment of the state of Israel in 1948, a moment when the world was questioning Israel's right to exist as a modern nation. The scrolls stood as Israel's ancient deed to the land that God promised them.
