Greetings in the majestic name of our Lord Jesus. Spring has sprung, and Summer is around the corner. We have already come close to 90 degrees here in Middle Tennessee. The heat is also on in the Middle East. With Iran’s historic attack on Israel, it takes End-Time events to a new level. Iran’s attack was retaliation because of Israel’s attack in Damascus that killed three top generals and other commanders of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard. Please know that the attack was not on the Iranian Embassy, as many report. The building that was struck was a consulate building and, according to international law, was not just cause for Iran to attack.
Iran is the head of the Houthis, Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Iranian Revolutionary Guard in Syria—all are terrorist organizations that vow the destruction of Israel. Up until now, Iran has used their proxies to attack Israel, including the brutal massacre on October 7, 2023, but now they have launched an unhidden, unwarranted attack on Israel, and Israel will retaliate.
As of April 19, Israel has attacked two Iranian cities and taken out a Russian SC300 air defense system and an air force base. It is my understanding that at least one of these targets was close to a nuclear facility. Iran reported there was little to no damage; however, this may be a ploy because they now feel ill-equipped and do not want the situation to escalate.
The attack on Israel consisted of at least 320 munitions, including 170 drones, 30 cruise missiles, and more than 120 ballistic missiles, all launched from Iran in one night. An Israeli doctor of physics and scientist who works for the Israeli security system said the Israeli defense was a miracle. Even a 90% interception rate would have been a miracle, but the interception of all these missiles and drones was 99%. The defense systems had never been tested before, and there was room for error, but there was none. The hand of God is at work for Israel. We are alive at a time when God is doing supernatural miracles for a whole nation. We should believe one for ours!
Indeed, He who watches over Israel never slumbers or sleeps. The LORD himself watches over you! The LORD stands beside you as your protective shade. The sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon at night. The LORD keeps you from all harm and watches over your life. —Psalms 121:4-7, NLT
Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people He has chosen as His own inheritance. —Psalms 33:12
I remind you once again that we are looking for the peace of Jerusalem or Israel (Psalm 122:6). Peace marks the very, very soon appearing of Jesus to catch away His Church. This peace is mentioned three times in Ezekiel chapter 38. It is achieved before Magog (Russia) attacks Israel to loot them for their goods. When they do so, God uses his wrath to defend Israel in a grand way (Ezekiel 38:19). Before God uses His wrath, however, He must remove the righteous first. This means the catching away (Rapture) is close, and Jesus is standing in the doorway, not just at the door.
As this confederacy of Muslim nations continues to wage war on Israel, they will see defeat at every turn (Psalm 83:4-5). When the humiliation of Iran comes (which could be very soon, even days), Russia will be standing there to help them pick up the pieces. When this happens, look at what God says to Russia:“Prepare yourself and be ready, you and all your companies that are gathered about you; and be a guard for them.” —Ezekiel 38:7
They (the Muslim confederacy) will need a guard (guidance, watch, example) because of the trouble they face with Israel. Russia will take them under their wing. Russia is already assisting Iran in various ways and has a significant presence in the Middle East. This month, Russia established two new observation points along Israel’s Golan Heights, making 14 total along the Israeli border. They also moved troops into military sites belonging to the Syrian army. Since the Suez Canal conflict in 1956, Russia’s military has been drawn more and more down to the Middle East by the hooks God has put into their jaws.
I will turn you around, put hooks into your jaws, and lead you out, with all your army, horses, and horsemen, all splendidly clothed, a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords. —Ezekiel 38:4
Russia has to be involved in the Middle East because of its reconnaissance of Israel. They don’t realize it, but God says, “Thoughts will arise in your mind, and you will make an evil plan” (Ezekiel 38:10), and “On that day when My people Israel dwell safely, will you not know it?” (Ezekiel 38:14). Russia will clearly know when Israel is secure. They will see the land that now once again flows with milk and honey as a resource ready for the taking.
All of this is playing out on our news networks, yet they don’t have a clue about what is getting ready to happen. Israel is getting ready to gain land and peace in their victory. Soon, I believe billions of Christians will all of a sudden be gone from the earth, and resurrection sites everywhere will be left open. This supernatural event could come before or right after Israel’s peace. You want to make sure you’re a part of the event. You don’t want to be left behind.
“Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near” . . .“Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.” . . . “And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also.” —Luke 21:28, 36, John 14:3
. . . and to wait for His Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead, even Jesus who delivers us from the wrath to come. —1 Thessalonians 1:10
“Because you have kept My command to persevere, I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth” —Revelation 3:10
Don’t let your hearts be troubled. As you can see, Jesus has made a way of escape. It is the same principle that caused the first rapture of Enoch. “And Enoch walked with God; and he was not, for God took him” (Gen. 5:24). Enoch’s walk was the faith walk. Hebrews 11:5-6 tells us that Enoch had the testimony that he pleased God, and it is impossible to please God without faith. It’s also impossible to have faith without the Word of God because faith comes by hearing and hearing the Word (Romans 10:17). Your personal relationship with God is your responsibility—no one can do it for you. So, spend more with God and what pertains to Him. It is essential in these Last Days.
Thank you for praying and supporting this ministry financially. You are the heart of what helps me go. People need hope, and there is no hope without Jesus. Be a part of what God is doing to climax the Age! Soon, we will be with Evangelist Tim Sutton under the new gospel tent in Greensboro, North Carolina, for an Impact America Crusade (May 19-22), and Believe Belize is still in the making.
We are praying for you to have your best year yet: more health, wealth, and peace than ever before as you draw closer to Him.
