THE “SHOW!”

Good morning, blog readers, from cloudy and cool (44 degrees) Wisconsin where, on my morning walk, I saw: 7 robins, a plane and heard “Barkie” the dog telling me again I was still not welcome in his neighborhood! ! Thank You, Jesus, that his bark was not his bite!

This headline, from today’s Gatestone Institute, really made me mad: “This Was Not the Actual Iranian Attack!” In the article, Daniel Greenfield reported: “This was the ‘attack’ prearranged for show between Iran and the Biden Administration through backchannels. It’s an attack that allows Iran to show off that it can reach Israel while not inflicting any real damage. Had Iran actually been trying to launch a serious attack, it would have used its Hezbollah, Houthi, Iraqi and whatever is left of its Hamas proxies to saturate local air defenses.

Iran will do things beyond this light show, which was largely meant to reassure the Biden Administration that it ‘diplomatic tools’ have successfully solved the problem. That’s an illusion that Iran has used to allow it to build up its nuclear weapons program….

It also learned under President Obama that its greatest defense is convincing D.C. elites that diplomacy will successfully deescalate any conflicts with the regime.”

Now, let me tell you what I think will happen to Iran, based on what the Bible says. According to Ezekiel 38-39, Russia, Persia (modern-day Iran) and a host of other nations will, at a time when Israel is living in peace (not now or anytime soon), invade Israel to “seize plunder, to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to capture great spoil,” only to be destroyed by the Lord God Himself. Bye, bye, Iran and glory to God! So, stay tuned, as we may see this “show” develop or even take place in our lifetime.

Question: “Do you know where you will spend your eternity?” God’s Word, the Bible, tells us that we will either go to heaven or hell. My prayer is that you will go to heaven by agreeing with God you are a sinner who needs a Savior Who is Jesus (Romans 3:23, 24) and believe He died on a cross for your sins, was buried and raised from the dead (I Corinthians 15:1-4) to forgive all your sins and give you eternal life (John 3:16). And, if you do, I’ll see you in heaven. Till then, let us watch, wait, work, witness for, walk with and worship Jesus until He comes. Love in Him, Doug (4/16/24)

RUMORS to WAR AGAIN!

Good morning, blog readers, from clear and mild (57 degrees) Wisconsin where, on my morning walk, I saw: a robin and a plane! Thank You, Jesus!

Yesterday, towards the end of the third round of the Masters Golf Tournament, I heard of “breaking news,” that Iran had attacked Israel with drones and missiles. Another case of a “rumor of war” turning into a “war,” just like Jesus said they would, leading up to His return (Matthew 24:6 & Mark 13:7).

And, in today’s Jerusalem Post, Tovah Lazaroff reported: “Iran warned the United States not to respond to its attack on Israel, as the confrontation between the two-arch foes spilled over into the region and US President Joe Biden held consultations in Washington. This is a conflict between Iran and the rogue Israeli regime, from which the US MUST STAY AWAY,” Iran’s mission to the UN in New York stated in a post on X early Sunday morning.” It (Iran) justified its launch of a drone and missile attack on Israel as an act of self-defense permissible under Article 51 of the UN Charter. According to Channel 12, an Israeli official has already said that there will be a significant response to Iran’s overnight attack on Israel.”

So, “stay tuned, dearly beloved in Christ, and keep watching, waiting, working, witnessing for, walking with and worshiping Jesus until He comes. Please know and believe He is coming! And, He will either be your Savior or Judge. Believe me He would rather be your Savior. So, please, agree with God you are a sinner who needs a Savior Who is Jesus (Romans 3:23, 24) and believe He died on a cross for your sins, was buried and raised from the dead (I Corinthians 15:1-4) to forgive all your sins and give you eternal life (John 3:16). Blessings on your Sunday, Doug (4/14/24)
