The duty of a great President is not to follow public opinion, but to lead it. In moments of crisis, leaders are not called to read the polls — they are called to rise above them.
And that is exactly what President Trump has done to this point in the war with Iran. When asked about public polling — where most surveys show a majority opposing the war — Trump responded, “I don’t care about polling.”
We should commend the president for stepping into the role of a statesman who leads in the direction the nation needs to go, regardless of the political consequences.
The stock market, familiar territory for the president, has gone a bit wobbly. Gas prices have risen quickly, though they remain below the peak Americans experienced in the summer of 2022, when the average gallon approached $5. Some congressional Republicans are also expressing concern about the possible impact on the midterm elections.
These are big issues — in the short term. That is why most administrations confronting the Iranian nuclear threat sought to contain it, if they could not avoid it altogether.
To use a familiar phrase, “they simply kicked the can down the road” so the next administration — or the next generation — would deal with it.
Donald Trump concluded there was no road left.
Open sources suggest Iran possessed roughly 1,000 pounds of uranium enriched to 60% before the launch of Operation Epic Fury. Iran was racing to reach the 90% weapons-grade level — enough material for roughly 10 nuclear warheads. Enough to hold the world hostage, if not destroy large parts of it.
If there has been a justifiable war since World War II, this may be it. This is not defending oil-rich countries made wealthy by American dependence. This is confronting a direct threat to our security and to that of our natural ally, Israel.
When the leadership of a rogue regime repeatedly calls America the “Great Satan,” vows to destroy us, and sponsors repeated terrorist attacks against Americans — at what point should we believe them?
“We sought repeatedly to make a deal,” Trump stressed, adding that diplomatic efforts proved fruitless because the Iranian regime “just wanted to practice evil.”
But how do we know that the Iranian regime and its Supreme Leader were satanically motivated? Through God’s Word, we know that the Devil is the “father of lies” and a “murderer from the beginning” (John 8:44). Demonically driven individuals are often consumed with delusion. Scripture teaches that Satan has a relentless hatred for the Jews and Bible-believing Christians (Revelation 12, Genesis 3:15, Ephesians 6, etc.). All of these characteristics were unmistakably ingrained in the Ayatollah regime.
President Trump should be commended for taking the regime at its word and responding to keep America safe — not because it was politically popular, but because it was justified, militarily and morally.
Trump Bombshell:
Deal with Iran
to end the war is close!
Israel will be happy.
Strikes on energy sites postponed.
In a bombshell announcement, President Trump revealed Monday that his administration was engaged in productive talks with Iran regarding a “complete and total resolution” of the US-Israeli war with the Islamic Republic.
He later said the sides were close to an agreement under which Iran would agree not to seek nuclear weapons and would give up enrichment, and that the terms would make Israel “very happy.”
“I am pleased to report that the United States of America and the country of Iran have had, over the last two days, very good and productive conversations regarding a complete and total resolution of our hostilities in the Middle East,” Trump wrote in an all-caps Truth Social post.
“Based on the tenor and tone of these in depth, detailed and constructive conversations, which will continue throughout the week, I have instructed the Department of War to postpone any and all military strikes against Iranian power plants and energy infrastructure for a five day period, subject to the success of the ongoing meetings and discussions,” he added.
Iran, Not Going Away
Iran is destabilizing the world with it’s genocidal eschatology.
It believes the destruction of Israel will hasten the arrival of their long-awaited messiah, the Mahdi. But discerning believers should see Iran’s messiah as the coming Antichrist.
Just know that Iran is not going away, nor is her evil intent.
She is included as a player in the Ezekiel 38-39 War which I’ll have more to say about in our upcoming class April 14.
Iran is also included in the last days, when looking carefully at the great image of Nebuchadnezzar in Daniel 2.
And in Revelation 13:2, we see the territory of the “Bear” mentioned which points to Iran. The passage shows Iran as part of the territory of Antichrist’s final empire.
She may be weakened and more nukes may be demolished, but she will rise from the ashes to invade Israel and to seize a spoil (Ezek. 38:10-13).
God will defeat Persia (Iran), Turkey, and other invaders on the mountains of Israel.
Also, remember that Israel must dwell “securely” (Ezek. 38:11) in the last days without bars or gates. Neutralizing Iran will help bring this about even though it is temporary.
The Biggest Story Keeps Growing!
Let me expound a bit on the biggest story of the last few years, and will be going forward.
We need to keep alert for more anti Semitism on the right, such as Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens, Steve Bannon and more global Jew-hatred. This topic has grown legs across American churches dividing the wheat from the chaff.
Who knew that so few Christians these days would understand the biblical covenants and God’s eternal promises to Israel. Our pulpits have failed to preach the whole counsel of God.
Jews admit they feel safe almost nowhere. They are fleeing to Israel, which is hardly the safest place on earth! They are even fleeing New York under Mayor Zohran Mamdani, an anti Israel jihadist.
Almost half of young Republicans surveyed see Jews as a threat to the American way of life, having been influenced by the Tucker Carlson’s and Candace Owens’.
Among many on the left of all ages, the Jews and Israel are the root of all evil.
Welcome to the end times!
Watch Turkey
Turkey is micro-managing Syria, destroying the good guys in Syria, and readying for her major role in the Battle of Armageddon (Gog-Magog) at the end of the seven-year Tribulation.
President Erdogan is the most dangerous Middle East player and the most vocal opponent of Israel who is promoting and preparing his long planned return of the Islamic Caliphate.
At the end of the Iran war, we’ll see a new Middle East that will soon give rise to the revived Islamic Empire as a Muslim means of defense against Israel and the U.S.
President Erdogan is underestimated and should not be!
Once Iran is neutralized, Erdogan will finally be standing as the most prominent anti-Israel, Mid-East leader!
The Islamization of America
The rise of Islam in America is staggering.
It’s eroding our God-blessed Christian culture everywhere it goes faster than we can stop it.
While attending seminary, we lived for awhile in beautiful Minneapolis, now home to 100,000 Somalis thanks to Obama and looks more like the Mogadishu on the Mississippi. Dozens of mosques in downtown Minneapolis have replaced the Bible believing churches.
One of the highest ranking Muslims in the country, Keith Ellison (Democratic-Farmer-Labor) is the current Attorney General of Minnesota. He’s been in office since January 2019 and has aspirations for the Whitehouse.
A hardened Muslim is now Mayor of America’s largest city, Zohran Mamdani.
Islam is targeting Texas almost as their U.S. caliphate.
Cities like Dearborn, MI are re-named Dearbornistan.
This is serious! The mind of the true Islamist makes us all unsafe, including our churches that are a target.
Trump’s Board of Peace
In 2025 a stunning new development took place when President Trump announced his Board of Peace.
I have written about it along with President Trump’s 20-Point Gaza Peace Plan and taught about their significance and role they could play in Bible prophecy.
The Bible describes that in the last days the nations will be desperate to make peace in the Middle East. As a result, the international community will pressure Israel to divide their land and the city of Jerusalem for what we now know to be the State of Palestine.
Trump’s board of peace is in a unique position to set the stage for peace like nothing we’ve ever seen before. It has all the potential to fulfill the prophecies necessary to bring a peace deal to the Middle East before the start of the Tribulation.
And that is why I am paying close attention to Trump’s Board of Peace. As I’ve previously stated, the rise of the 10 kings, the Rapture of the Church and a final peace deal could all happen fast during the fast pace of this current Trump administration. Wouldn’t it be wonderful hear the Trumpet call today!
So keep looking up and keep a close eye on this in 2026.
