Moment by moment, the situation in the Middle East becomes more tense as both Iran and the US trade threats and prepare for a future conflict. With things getting worse by the day, sooner or later, something has to give. Iran regime power players may eye Russia in Assad-style escape as US talks falter: expert (Fox News) Inside Iran’s ruling ideology: How a ‘holy mission’ and messianic doctrine fuel regime extremism (Fox News) Netanyahu: EU exposed ‘moral bankruptcy’ by sanctioning Israelis (Jewish News Syndicate) The handwriting seems to be on the wall for the leaders of Iran’s present regime as they continue to plan to escape the fiasco they have created. The problem is that the younger leaders who are replacing them have been brainwashed their entire lives about the “holy mission” that Allah has given to Iran. So, they still fight. Add to this, the EU, instead of thanking Israel for their help in dismantling the current regime continues to attack Israel with baseless charges. These events are precisely what we would expect to see as we closely examine the biblical view of the time of the end. The Islamic Republic of Iran, though a sworn enemy of Israel, will be neutralized to a large degree in their ability to threaten the entire Middle East as well as much of the world. However, this will not stop them from their attempts to destroy the nation. All the while Europe, hypocritically leaving the fighting to the US and Israel continues to bend to extremist elements to sanction Israel. None of this is surprising. Every day we see the predicted events in Scripture amazing come to pass in the way the countries in our world move into the various directions that we would expect to see. It’s important for us to understand not only what is happening but also how miraculous all of this is! Headline 1 Iran regime power players may eye Russia in Assad-style escape as US talks falter: expert (Fox News) Expert says top commanders like Ghalibaf might head to Moscow while lower figures seek shelter in Iraq or Afghanistan The apparent collapse of high-stakes U.S.-Iran negotiations has intensified fears that senior figures inside Tehran’s leadership could flee to Russia, seeking refuge to "continue their insurgency and undermine any new regime," an analyst warns. These hypocritical leaders are not going to sit around and wait for the judgment that is coming to them. While their country is suffering in every way, they look for a personal escape, so that they can regroup elsewhere and fight another day. No matter what they publicly say, they do see the handwriting on the wall. Headline 2 Inside Iran’s ruling ideology: How a ‘holy mission’ and messianic doctrine fuel regime extremism (Fox News) New IRGC commanders shaped by years of conflict may entrench the regime's extremist ideology even further, analysts warn "You were told you are a part a small group chosen by God… to revive God’s religion and fight to defend it," This explanation is so crucial for everyone to understand. From day one, these people have been indoctrinated to believe that Allah has specifically called them to fulfill his mission in the last days. Since they are told that they will win in the end, they continue the fight, no matter how desperate the situation looks. This is what the rest of the world is up against... Headline 3 Netanyahu: EU exposed ‘moral bankruptcy’ by sanctioning Israelis (Jewish News Syndicate) The move “is a further sign of weakness and will not succeed,” the Israeli prime minister warned. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday night condemned as “unacceptable” the European Union’s decision to sanction several Israeli citizens and organizations operating in Judea and Samaria over alleged “violence” against Palestinians. This type of mentality is precisely what the Bible has warned us about as a sign of the last days. Israel, against all odds, not only survives but becomes a modern state after almost 1,900 years in exile. However, it has been continually attacked by its neighbors, as well as Europe, for the last 77 years. Scripture tells us that they will survive but that the situation will become progressively worse. See Sign 21 of our 25 Signs We Are Near The End... There Will Be A Rise In Anti-Semitism (The Entire World Will Be Against Israel) As we watch these events unfold, we are not only amazed how they are coming to pass as the Bible predicts, but we are also thankful that God, who never lies, has promised a wonderful future for those who have believed in Him. Let us keep these truths in the forefront of our minds as we live our daily lives while keeping our eyes on current events.
