(Day 849) Swords of Iron – “A Message from Jerusalem to Tehran”

Shalom from Jerusalem, our nation’s undivided and eternal capital! The whole world is watching Jerusalem. Right now, the Iranians truly believe that, with all their proxies, they can defeat Israel. That’s ridiculous—it will never happen.

I heard what they said to the United States. Ali Khamenei, the Supreme Leader, said the next war would be a large regional war involving all their proxies. Trump responded by asking why Khamenei would say that when America has the strongest ships in the world parked right off their shores. He said he hopes they’ll make a deal, but in the end, we’ll see who was right.

We are clearly at a tipping point. Explosions keep happening, and no one fully knows how. Could it be Mossad? I don’t know. Another major explosion just occurred in Bandar Abbas, and another in a building in the Nash neighborhood.

At the same time, the Malaysian Navy seized two Iranian oil tankers with a combined oil value of $310 million. That’s wild. So much is happening all at once.

The Rafah crossing has now been opened, something many pushed for, following the release of the last hostage. Phase two appears ready to begin. That means countries like Indonesia and Turkey will begin entering Gaza. The big question is how this will be managed and how Hamas will be fully dismantled and disarmed. That is the plan, and that is what must happen. I don’t believe Hamas for a minute, but that’s what they’ve promised.

US Central Command is urging restraint as Iran conducts live-fire naval exercises in the Strait of Hormuz, through which a large portion of the world’s oil passes. This is an incredibly intense moment. Time feels like it’s running out. The US appears prepared for a possible strike, yet diplomacy continues. Turkey, Egypt, Qatar, and others are urging negotiations.

But what would Iran say at the negotiating table? They’ve openly stated they will not stop enriching uranium to build nuclear weapons. They’re not hiding it. So what exactly would negotiations achieve? At some point, the regime must end—for the sake of the free world.

Turkey is accusing Israel of pushing the US toward action. But action is necessary. Saudi Arabia has warned that if Trump backtracks, it will strengthen the Iranian regime and convince them they stood up to the strongest military on earth and won. If promises aren’t kept, people will lose faith in the West.

This ideology will not change. It includes deception—lying to the infidel is permitted. They may even claim they’ll stop enriching uranium, but it would be a lie. Don’t believe it.

What you can believe is this: God will not allow Israel to be destroyed. They threaten Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, and the Holy City, but Psalm 46 says, “God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.” Ever-present means exactly that.

Let’s believe for full and complete victory.
