When it comes to God’s sovereignty, the Enemy continues to sell two great lies—and people continue to buy them. The first is as old as Babel itself (Gen. 11). It is the notion that nations are masters of their own fate. The second is that if the nations try hard enough, they can destroy Israel (Ps. 83:4). However, God’s Word stands against both of these lies.
After the Rafah incident, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu immediately ordered a halt of humanitarian aid but has since recommenced the supplies. Qatar quickly criticized Israel, neglecting the violent impetus perpetrated by Hamas and the way the terrorist group consistently breaks the agreement in provocative and deadly ways.
I have personally seen disturbing footage of Hamas using pipes and steel bars to brutally beat and break the limbs of Palestinian civilians whom they accuse of "collaborating with Israel." These monsters are nothing less than a demonic death cult—and the only way they are going to disarm is if Israel is allowed to finish them off. Preventing Israel from doing so simply allows Hamas to live another day.
“We need to pray for Israel. We need to pray for the United States,” Bachmann urged. “I believe the fact that the hostages came home — that, in fact, was an answer to prayer. That was a miracle.” As peace between Israel and Gaza teeters on the brink, Bachmann urged Christians to renew their prayers for peace, trusting that, as “the Proverbs says, that God turns the heart of the king whichever way he will [Proverbs 21:1].”
The woke say they stand against “occupiers” and those who try to “erase” indigenous people. But anti-Jew hatred has become so great that they freely use the name given to the land by occupying Romans who renamed it for the express purpose of erasing the Jews. Is their problem really with “occupiers” or is it just Jews and Christians they hate?
Still, the pursuit of peace remains both right and necessary. Scripture calls us to it. Psalm 122:6 instructs, “Pray for the peace of Jerusalem.” Our prayers and our policies should follow that call. Yet as we labor for peace, we must recognize that any peace forged by human hands will be temporary — imperfect and ever in need of vigilance and renewal.
Israel is also right to be grateful for the involvement of President Donald Trump. But amongst the hyperbole which often accompanies exuberant celebrations, we must remember there is a truth to behold. During a brief interview by an Australian news journalist at Hostages Square in Tel Aviv, the interviewee excitedly claimed that Donald Trump is making the world great again. There is a subjectivity to that statement, which I am sure will be debated endlessly by people on the other side of the aisle. But my greater concern was the man’s follow-up statement. He called Donald Trump “the king of peace”.
We have our living hostages back. Twenty men who somehow survived the beatings, the starvation, and whatever other brutalities the monsters of Hamas subjected them to. While I do not fully agree with everything in the peace agreement, I am more than willing to overlook any disagreement because these men are now home. God is good. His name is to be praised.
It is a time for great celebration. However, Hamas appears to be preparing a campaign of violent retribution against anyone it views as an obstacle to its renewed control over Gaza. In the coming days, this could manifest in a mafia-style execution of individuals the group labels as collaborators.
Bible prophecy makes clear that humanity will remain stuck with the scourge of war until the Prince of Peace Himself returns and begins His millennial rule. Roosevelt called that “a distant millennium,” but it may not be all that distant. Bible prophecy centers on Middle Eastern wars in the last days. So, no, don’t expect the present peace plan to lead to “an everlasting peace in the Middle East.”
Israel will pull back from their present positions but will remain in the Philadelphi Corridor and inside the borders of Gaza. Hamas has in their mind that this is the end of the war, but Israel says, “We’ll see.” This agreement is just phase one of the process. If the terrorists fail to keep any part of the agreement to the letter, Israel will have full permission to destroy them.
Israel stands today as a living modern-day miracle. Never before in all human history has there been a people scattered across the nations, exiled from their ancestral homeland for 2,000 years, only to return, rebuild their desolate cities, restore the land, and cause the desert itself to bloom once again. God is calling for the world's attention. To the Christians who still deny what He has done, I ask you: what more will it take for God to capture your attention?
The terrorist organization Hamas has agreed to a peace deal with Israel, drawn up by the Trump administration, which begins the first phase of ending the war in Gaza and will result in the release of all Israeli hostages (living and deceased).
Accusing Israel of planning to "blow up Al-Aqsa," while showing the Dome of the Rock, is not reporting. That is not Journalism. That's inciting violence. And it needs to stop. From basic architectural confusion to ignoring 2,000 years of Jewish history on the Temple Mount, Tucker's spreading lies that put Jewish lives in danger.
This battle targeting the Jewish people is far older than October 7th, stretching back thousands of years. The Jews have faced numerous exiles, massacres, false accusations, boycotts, and persecution—not because they are the villains of the world, but because God selected them to be the avenue through which the ultimate villain would be overcome.
While the numbers may be growing for those who stand in support of a two-state solution, they would do well to inquire, “Where does God stand on this issue?” Many would be surprised to learn that this is not a subject on which God is silent; on the contrary, this is a matter in which God is greatly interested, fiercely passionate, and outspokenly vocal. His track record of standing in support of Israel traces all the way back to the days of Abram when He promised to make him a “great nation,” speaking of the future kingdom of Israel that would come from his lineage (Ge. 12:2).
The spectacle of Britain, France, Portugal, Canada, and Australia recognizing an independent Palestinian state this week was an exercise in diplomatic fantasy. The conceit? Anything can become a state if enough self-important world leaders wish it to be so – even a territory ruled by genocidal terrorists and lacking a unified, legitimate, and functioning government.
While the nations of the world continue to put their hopes of peace squarely on the carefully crafted words of The Abraham Accords, many seem to be forgetting that God has His own Abrahamic document that He is working to fulfil. It is known as the Abrahamic Covenant and it is the fountain from which flows all of God’s redemptive purposes for Israel and for mankind as a whole.
"Israel will not allow you to shove a terrorist state down our throats," Netanyahu asserted. "We will not commit national suicide because you don't have the guts to face down a hostile media and antisemitic mobs demanding Israel's blood... Western leaders may have buckled under the pressure, and I guarantee you one thing: Israel won't."
This is simply Europe trying to bully the United States and Israel. Their attempts will be unfruitful, however. For some reason, Europe has not caught on that neither the current occupant of the White House nor the leader of the Israeli government gives two hoots about international opinions.
The land never was and never will be Palestine, no matter what people call it. It is God's land, and He was the very first Zionist! Coming to the rescue of Israel and speaking up against the lies spewed by the Red/Green axis is not only unpopular, but it is slowly becoming lethal. In light of Charlie Kirk's assassination for speaking biblical truth and being a friend of Israel, we must not remain silent.
God promised that once Israel was restored to the promised land, they would never again be removed from it. The promises God made to Abraham were not merely spiritual. The promises extended to the land and the people who will dwell in that land. If God broke these promises to fulfill them allegorically in the church, He is a liar. If God is a liar, His Word cannot be trusted.
In another blatant display of bias against the Jewish State, Israel's delegation to the United Nations was forced to opt out of attending an upcoming Security Council meeting on Gaza, due to the UN's decision to schedule the critical meeting on the Jewish feast of Rosh Hashanah.
Why are these countries voting in favor of this disgraceful declaration? Because they refuse to look to God's word! World leaders are hellbent on casting resolutions against Israel, and they have no idea what they are doing. It's antisemitic. Plain and simple. Wake up, world! You are bringing God's judgment upon you and your countries. In Genesis 12:3, God simply says that He will bless those who bless the Jewish people and He will curse those who curse them. Contrary to statements by Tucker Carlson, this includes the modern state of Israel!
Israel and the Jewish people have indeed been a blessing to the world, just as God promised Abraham some 4,000 years ago in Genesis 12:2: "I will make you a great nation; I will bless you and make your name great, and you shall be a blessing." In the following verse, we read about the ultimate blessing, which is that all the nations of the earth would be blessed through Israel's Messiah.
In what shouldn’t be a surprise anymore, the usual antisemitic crowd immediately began pointing fingers at Israel, saying that the Netanyahu government was behind the assassination. This is true even among a growing number of once-respected conservative leaders, who claim a growing rift between the young conservative leader and the Israeli prime minister. But Charlie Kirk’s own words demonstrated his support for Israel and his respect for Netanyahu.
Secretary Rubio, on his first official visit to Israel since assuming office, called the road “an enduring cultural and historical bond” between Jerusalem and the United States. “It was here that God fulfilled His promise to His people. It was here that the lessons that formed the foundations of our laws, and the principles upon which we decide right from wrong, were built,” he said. “All the civilizations that conquered this city are gone. But one people remain. They have returned.”
If these beliefs are simmering beneath the surface, what's keeping them from rising to the forefront? It's not the horror of saying "Jews should burn" that holds them back; it's the fear of what might happen if someone hears them say it. Any apprehension by the students is not rooted in moral conviction, but in the consequences of being exposed. That should be the most alarming part of all—and a wake-up call for every university that claims an atmosphere meant to foster constructive dialogue and open-minded education.
Not only did the Lord miraculously bring His people back into the land, as He promised He would do in Ezekiel 36-37, but now for the first time in the reestablished State of Israel’s history we no longer have to fear our neighbors. Yes, the leadership of our government has had a hand in it, as has the dogged commitment of the courageous members of the IDF. But if you really want to see who has brought this peace about, you will find that answer in the book of Ezekiel when God says, “Then they will know that I am the Lord.”
The Lord’s promise to make Israel the one nation through which He would redeem the world has put the Jewish people in harm’s way. Their suffering is a striking reminder of their unique, covenantal relationship with God, serving as His channel to bring salvation to mankind. They have endured hatred and tragedy for the benefit of everyone who receives the Lord’s gift of salvation.
It’s gotten to the point that the only ones who believe the media lies are brain-washed antisemites who desperately want to find reasons to hate Israel. Sadly, there are plenty of them, and they are getting more violent as the days pass.
If and when people are genuinely interested in stopping the Gaza genocide, they should visit the area and see for themselves instead of buying the antisemitic propaganda constantly pushed by Israel's enemies. Along the same lines is the accusation of starvation using either AI photos or photos of children suffering from various diseases that originally have nothing to do with malnutrition.
Do preening politicians like Starmer, Macron, or Carney care about the effect that their gambit will have on prospects for peace? Not in the slightest. Because this isn’t about the Palestinian people: It’s about moral grandstanding in the service of the most immoral of causes.
Australia has not only succumbed to bad politics but also bad theology. You see, Australia has been infected by replacement theology and this virus not only affects pulpits, it affects public office as well. At the core of replacement theology is the view that Israel, as a nation rejected, is undeserving of a glorious future. In this warped theology, Israel is therefore seen as powerless, stateless, fruitless and futureless.
For Israel, undermining a potential “two-state solution” is precisely the point. “The Palestinian state is being erased from the table not with slogans but with actions,” Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich declared. “Every settlement, every neighborhood, every housing unit is another nail in the coffin of this dangerous idea.” Smotrich oversees settlement policy and hopes to double the settler population in Judea and Samaria. The Israeli Security Cabinet previously approved 22 other settlements in May.
With each day that passes since Hamas attacked Israel, the mantra Am Yisrael Chai continues to drown out the death cry of Iran’s regime. This is the power of hope in God’s promises against the hate and deception of the Devil. Israel’s mantra does not merely counter destruction; it overwhelms it.
The Israeli government has approved 3,400 housing units to be created in the strategic E1 area of Judea and Samaria. Essentially, Israel is taking back what is theirs. Housing in this area will connect Jerusalem to Ma’ale Adumim, east of the city. This will disrupt the Palestinian territorial continuity between Ramallah and Bethlehem, essentially blocking the prospects of a Palestinian state. Developing housing in this region is one more large step in making all of Israel once again part of the State of Israel.
Thousands of left-leaning Israeli demonstrators are expected to fill the streets of Tel Aviv again this Sunday to try to pressure the Netanyahu Government to end the war in exchange for the release of the hostages. The problem that much of the world, and the left in Israel, won't acknowledge is that Israel has already agreed to lopsided hostage ceasefire deal after ceasefire deal—Hamas is refusing peace.
For those familiar with geography, you will know that Australia is called “the Land Down Under” because of its location in the southern hemisphere, below many of the northern continents. However, many remnant believers feel that Australia is not just under the equator but also about to find itself under God’s wrath as a result of recent decisions which indicate that Australia is abandoning the national interests of Israel.
You may love him or you may hate him, but when it comes to working out peace deals, no president has accomplished more than Donald Trump. Just this past week, he brokered a deal between feuding Azerbaijan and Armenia that we’ll talk about more below. The deftness of his administration’s diplomacy led Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev to assert, “Who, if not President Trump, deserves the Nobel Peace Prize?”
"So Israel is expected to surrender to Hamas and feed them even though Israeli hostages are being starved? Did UK surrender to Nazis and drop food to them? Ever heard of Dresden, PM Starmer? That wasn't food you dropped. If you had been PM then, the UK would be speaking German!"
The future of the Republican Party — and the moral clarity of America’s leadership — depends on remaining resolute in our support for Israel. Not out of sentimentality, but because it is right biblically, morally, and strategically.
Clearly, instead of committing significant financial resources towards destroying Israel, it should have invested in water security. Finally, Iran is blind to one very important detail: the sovereignty of the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. The Iranian regime set themselves the goal of wiping Israel from the map. Perhaps the lack of rain and subsequent drought signifies God’s deep displeasure with Iran.
There are people being intentionally starved in Gaza simply because of their race. However, contrary to the prevalent narrative, the victims of this intentional plan of extermination are not the Gazans themselves. It is the hostages that were taken on October 7 by Hamas and by many of the Gazan citizens. Tragically, world public opinion and the fools who are leading many western European governments remain snookered by the false starvation narrative perpetuated by mainstream media.
Remember when Israeli hostages Eli Sharabi, Or Levy, and Ohad Ben Ami were released after 491 days in Hamas captivity? They look like skeletal Holocaust survivors. That is what starvation looks like and what the legacy media is conveniently ignoring. Amid reports of famine, last week, in the tunnels of Gaza, video footage showed Hamas terrorists bragging and enjoying a feast.
It almost feels a bit surreal. I have been aware of the seventieth week of Daniel’s prophecy at least since my seminary days in the late 1970s. Now, as I watch the world clamoring to bring peace to the Mideast by seeking to impose a peace accord upon Israel, I wonder, “How much closer can we get to the Tribulation without the Rapture happening?”
The countries, Canada included, calling for a two-state solution, have no idea what they're talking about—and they certainly have little to no compassion for Israel and the Jewish people. The irrational calls for a two-state solution provide us with a glimpse of who the Matthew 25 "goat" nations may be. The prophecy detailed by Jesus speaks of the time during the end of the tribulation when Israel's Messiah returns and separates "the sheep from the goats." That distinction is based on what they did or didn't do to the least of these, the Jewish people, Jesus' brothers (Matthew 25:31-46).
Americans are consuming “this anti-Semitic, Nazi materials,” he stated, and “it changes their minds” to not care about Israel or the Jewish people. To make matters worse, he continued, many moderates and Democrats have been taken over by “the radical communist … woke, progressive camp.” Their influence has “turned the party into [the] Marxist, radical, insane party that it is today, and this is what destroyed it.”
President Macron of France is saying that his country will recognize a Palestinian state. Now, British Prime Minister Starmer says that if there isn’t peace by September, the UK will recognize a British state. Prime Minister Netanyahu responded to Starmer, saying, “Starmer rewards the monstrous terror of Hamas and punishes its victims.” I think the UK just needs to recognize that we stopped listening to anything they say 77 years ago with the end of the British Mandate.
A mass starvation that would make the world–already turning its back on Israel–feel even more sorry for the poor "Palestinian" victims stuck in a pile of rubble in the Gaza Strip. This starvation narrative is pushed forward by Hamas and, as irrational as it might be, not vetted, and yet validated by mainstream media, politicians, and various personalities.
In recent years, the battle lines have become clearer. Entire nations have dedicated themselves to the eradication of Israel—by which they mean the nation, the people, and the Land. Satanically inspired nations such as Iran and terrorist groups like Hamas have launched murderous attacks time after time, but their efforts will never succeed.
While it is a well-documented history that the Arab leaders collaborated with Nazi Germany and supported the genocide of the Jewish people in Europe and the Middle East, the modern narrative ignores those facts. It propagates the belief that the Arabs who call themselves Palestinians have suffered a genocide since Israel gained independence in 1948.
Understanding the distinction between Israel and the Church is not a minor issue—it is foundational to rightly dividing the Word of God and understanding Bible prophecy. God’s covenant with Israel is reiterated throughout Scripture, even after their disobedience. He disciplines them, yes, but never abandons them. Romans 11:1 puts it plainly: “Has God rejected His people? By no means!”
US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee went to the area and, after investigating, announced that there was no damage to the church and the culprits who set the fire have not yet been identified. But, thanks to the media, for a couple days all we heard about was how Jews were burning Christian churches. Is it any wonder I call them the Medianites?
Ask people to point to the country of Qatar on a map, and it is safe to say that the majority of people would struggle to find it. At only 100 miles (160 km) from north to south and 50 miles (80 km) from east to west, Qatar is small in size, yet it wields a tremendous amount of influence throughout the world.
A large group of residents in Germany, including hundreds of Christians, formed a human chain around a synagogue in Munich to protect the Jewish community from a mass antisemitic demonstration taking place outside during Shabbat prayers.
Israel Derangement Syndrome (IDS) is the illness, antisemitism is the symptom, and all seems to indicate that most of the world suffers from that syndrome. The cure is clearly found in the Bible for those who care to look for it.
As the world watched Israel and the United States pound Iran’s radical Islamist regime and its nuclear threat with air strikes, Christians in the West got on their knees. In the U.S., faithful churches paused worship services to pray for peace as reminders about the signs of Christ’s return foretold in Scripture rang from many pulpits.
With the terrorist attacks against the state of Israel and the shocking manifestation of global antisemitism that followed, it is now more important than ever that the church has an accurate understanding of God’s plan for Israel. Although the topic of Israel is a major theme found throughout the scriptures, it is also one that generates a lot of confusion in the church today.
Perkins pointed to Louisiana State Senator Valerie Hodges (R) in the audience, who’s introducing a bill for the state to formally recognize the biblical lands of Judea and Samaria in the next legislative session. Then, in a symbolic moment, Mayor Evans and Dogan signed a proclamation formally establishing Central, Louisiana as a sister city of Samaria.
Twice, while walking through Washington, Huckabee was aggressively confronted by pro-Hamas protestors. “They recognized me, surrounded me, screamed at me,” he told us. “It made things so uncomfortable that about fifteen D.C. police had to intervene. That happened—not once—but twice.” In a comment that startled many, Huckabee added, “I got to get out of this crazy town, Washington, and get back to Jerusalem, where I’m safe."
Why are we the only ones protecting these people from a genocidal government that wants to wipe them out? I’m asking you, United Nations. I’m asking you, U.K. and France, Nordic countries and Canada, Iberian Peninsula and Italy – all you who are so quick to falsely throw the “genocide” epithet at Israel, but who fall absolutely silent when it is unquestionably taking place in Syria for all to witness!
Iranian hardliners are claiming that the nation of Israel relied on occult practices during its recent war with Iran. Many, however, are pointing out that the Iranian regime is simply looking for a convenient scapegoat to explain why they could not withstand the military might of the Israeli armed forces.
In case Iran does renew its nuclear efforts, President Trump has already given a green light for additional Israeli strikes if the Iranians try to retrieve enriched uranium from inside the attacked nuclear facilities or if they attempt to restore their enrichment program. Considering the facts that Iran’s economy has collapsed and their stock market is in freefall, it seems that the ayatollahs should have other priorities to attend to.
On July 5, the sheikhs sent Economy Minister Nir Barkat a letter expressing Hebron's wish to break away from the widely unpopular Palestinian Authority, establish an "Emirate of Hebron," and formally recognize Israel as a Jewish state under the Abraham Accords. Rather than clinging to the dream of Palestinian statehood with all its pie-in-the-sky demands—like a right of return and an East Jerusalem capital—these Hebron leaders embrace normalization, integration, and cooperation.
In Canada and around the world, the lies promoted at Palestinian protests continue to go unchecked. Our weak leaders would rather turn a blind eye than call out and confront this evil for what it is. As a result, this hateful movement continues to grow in its popularity. What does the God of this universe have to say about all of this? Will there ever be an end to the lies told against Israel and the Jewish people?
