In this world, war does not bring peace, never has and never will, it just promotes the inevitable truth of more war, death, destruction, maiming, torn families, PTSD, suicides, and memories of killed loved ones. From the killing of Abel by Cain to the present, that’s undeniable. War solves nothing, because the fallen human heart killing another cannot bring peace. And we’re in March 2026 and the US is again embroiled in yet another war, which is synonymous with its founding, being birthed in the 1775 Revolutionary War with England, and war has not departed plaguing America because what one sows that shall he also reap. Person to person or nation to nation.
This war isn’t unexpected for we who know God’s word, but fulfills part of end-time Scripture. When Jesus’ disciples asked about the end-times “Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?” (Matt. 24:3), He said to “Take heed that no one deceives you … And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes [now in abundance] in various places. All these are the beginning of sorrows” (Matt. 24:4, 6–8).
And today we’re seeing increasing “wars and rumors of wars” in many places: Israel-US vs Iran; Russia vs Ukraine; China vs Taiwan; US vs Venezuela, Cuba and Columbia; North Korea, China and Russia vs America; Pakistan vs India, and many more. See this list which doesn’t include the current US and Israel war with Iran which has triggered Iranian sleeper cells and Islamic Mosque leaders here in the US to call Jihad against the US and Israel. The very people former presidents Obama and Biden allowed to enter our nation by the millions through wide open border policies now endanger American citizens. What America has sown she again reaps: more unending wars.
It’s delusional and deceived thinking that war can bring peace. And what’s also delusional is that US government leaders have literally allowed Israel to dictate its Middle East policy for decades. It’s absolutely crazy. While America claims to have been birthed in Christianity which confesses Jesus Christ as God and Savior of the world, Israel denounces and hates the very name of Jesus Christ! America claims to be “one nation under God” which is Christ, but Israel, in rejection of Christ and His gospel, curses His name. This idiocy exists as US government leaders have been deceived by Christian Zionists who say unbelieving Jews of Israel are still God’s chosen people.
“The last person to say ‘No’ to Israel was JFK.” (Source), then he was assassinated November 22, 1963. And this headline by the Daily Mail confirms that that mandate continues: “Fury as Marco Rubio admits Israel forced US into war with Iran: ‘The worst possible thing’” (Source), stating “There absolutely was an imminent threat. And the imminent threat was that we knew that if Iran was attacked, and we believed they would be attacked, that they would immediately come after us, and we were not going to sit there and absorb a blow before we responded … We went proactively in a defensive way to prevent them from inflicting higher damage” Rubio said.
But in response to Rubio’s comments “Conservative pundit Matt Walsh wrote: ‘So he’s flat out telling us that we’re in a war with Iran because Israel forced our hand. This is basically the worst possible thing he could have said.’” I agree, for it exposes the truth that America is controlled by Israel! Imagine, the unbelieving wicked nation of Israel, whose city of Tel Aviv, hosting some of the world’s largest LGBTQ+ parades, achieved control over US government leaders and Middle East policies coming out of Washington, DC! Maybe you didn’t realize that Israel has stooped to this level of depravity with its Christ-hating Orthodox Jewish practices of their false religion.
Nobody should think that this Israel-US war with Iran will quiet down or heal anything, because just the opposite is true. This is a big escalation of end-time violence, bloodshed and destruction. It may be the catalyst that leads to WWIII. The Bear of the North is not going to remain silent as Russia sides with Iran. Editors of Express likely don’t know how prophetic their headlines could be: “Russians threaten horror strikes on Europe in revenge for Iran – ‘Trump untied our hands.’” (Source) If Russia, a nuclear super-power siding with Iran gets involved, it may soon escalate to a nuclear exchange, as conventional weapons prove fruitless as seen in the Russia/Ukraine war.
As mentioned, Iran has sleeper cells in the US. “Iran’s Revolutionary Guards warned on Monday that the United States ‘will no longer be safe’, on the third day of joint US-Israeli attacks against the Islamic republic … The enemy should know that their happy days are over and they will no longer be safe anywhere in the world, not even in their own homes, the Guards’ Quds force, which oversees its foreign operations, said in a statement carried by state TV.” (Source) All of this hatred of wars and rumors of wars is fulfilling end-time prophecy, and we as true believers of Christ better be prepared to endure the days of war and tribulation and its Antichrist false god.
By authority of God’s word, America’s “Israel First” policy will not endure. Multiple times that policy has gotten the US into wars since Israel was reborn as a nation on May 14, 1948. And not a single one of those wars have brought peace. And do not for one second believe that President Trump is the prince of peace, for there is only one Prince of Peace, and His name is Jesus Christ. And Jesus will bring peace at the resurrection of the dead, John 5:28–29, at the rapture, 1 Thess. 4:16, “after the tribulation” (Matt. 24:29–31), “at the last day” (John 6:40), “at the last trumpet” (1 Cor. 15:51–52), when “The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever!” (Rev. 11:15), and “every eye will see Him” (Rev. 1:7). Then, and only then, will this new Earth that God creates have eternal peace.
How do we true Christians know that America’s “Israel First” policy will not endure? Because, as I recently said God “will gather all the nations [including the US] to battle against Jerusalem; the city shall be taken, the houses rifled, and the women ravished. Half of the city shall go into captivity, but the remnant of the people shall not be cut off from the city” (Zech. 14:2). In that day Israel will reap the war, pain, suffering and destruction that she herself inflicted on others. World events will become such that every nation will see the evils of Israel for what they are, and consequently every nation will gather together against Israel to wage war against her.
But in that day God also slaughters His enemies who rejected His Anointed Christ, who rebelled against His word, “who divided up My land” (Joel 3:2). In that day “the LORD will go forth and fight against those nations, as He fights in the day of battle. And in that day His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, which faces Jerusalem on the east. And the Mount of Olives shall be split in two, from east to west, Making a very large valley; Half of the mountain shall move toward the north and half of it toward the south” (Zech. 14:3–4). Please note, the covenant God made with Abraham was for the Land! God said “I give to you and your descendants after you the land in which you are a stranger, all the land of Canaan, as an everlasting possession; and I will be their God” (Gen. 17:8). And let’s be reminded by God just who the true descendants of Abraham are. Here it is “if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise” (Gal. 3:29). Don’t allow Zionist preachers and teachers tell you that unbelieving Jews of Israel are still God’s chosen people, for they surely are not. Let no one deceive you, as it’s too costly.
Here’s an example of Zionist blather without knowledge. “Non-commissioned officers (NCO) who attended a briefing Monday told the MRFF that a combat-unit commander urged us to tell our troops that this was ‘all part of God’s divine plan’ and he specifically referenced numerous citations out of the Book of Revelation referring to Armageddon and the imminent return of Jesus Christ … The commander also argued that Trump ‘anointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran to cause Armageddon and mark his return to Earth’ and that the Iran war is part of God’s plan, the NCO claimed.” (Source) No, this Iran war is not “part of God’s divine plan”! And no, Trump is not “anointed by Jesus to light the signal fire to cause Armageddon”! Christ died and rose again to redeem the lost, but God allows man free will to create his own sinful end, which unquestionably confirms God’s end-time word. Just because God foreknew the end, and had it written down for our benefit, doesn’t in any way mean that God divinely appointed this war!
As true believers, we’re not called by Christ to fight wars against people made in the image of God. Just the opposite. “For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ” (2 Cor. 10:3–5). US military personnel will not accept such Scriptures, because it demands obedience to Christ instead of obedience to all their warring leaders, commanding officers and heads of states and nations.
The US will not endure, neither will other nations endure, nor will present-day Israel endure. Here’s what God says of all nations and their rulers: “Why do the nations rage, and the people plot a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD and against His Anointed, saying, ‘Let us break Their bonds in pieces And cast away Their cords from us’” (Psa. 2:1–3). Kings and rulers resent the very suggestion of the rule and authority of God. They oppose God and His Anointed Christ wanting nothing to do with His rule over them. But woe to them, for their pride and unbelief will be their own undoing. For at that last day “the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death” (Rev. 21:8). Do not be led astray by kings and rulers of this ungodly world.
Do not be participant with kings and rulers of this world, because they do not have in mind the things of God and His Christ, they refuse to declare Christ to the nations, else their works would glorify God and boldly declare His Christ. But you will never hear kings, presidents and leaders of nations lead their people in obedience to the gospel because the spirit within them prohibits them. As true believers our first allegiance is to God, realizing that war does not bring peace.
My second book “ON EAGLES’ WINGS” explains in detail how to know Christ and find God’s Bozrah sheepfold of safety and place of provision for the last 1,260 days of the great tribulation.
