The end of war, peace, is one of the greatest illusions on earth; the majority are carried away with, even within those professing to be in Christ. Most just go along with what the worldly news, the politicians, the talking heads spew with their Babel tongues, as few show there is light within them, that they are in Christ.

Therefore, whatever is said or reported is a weakness. Erroneous. Misleading. Appearing as sound, it is all a lie, in reality. As it refuses to take into consideration or account the constant wars taking place, both physically, visible, taking the tolls they do, in conjunction with the spiritual war raging on around and within every person on earth.

There are merely pauses, lulls in the battle, promoting illusion and giving a sense of resolution to war. Both the physical and the spiritual, with the overwhelming majority never giving the spiritual any thought.

Recent history in the timeline of world history. World War I never ended. There was merely a delusional, mindless ignorance of the situation. Partying hard. Spending mightily. Those Roaring 20s of extreme indulgences and seeking pleasure, putting the serious and true out of mind — by those of means, of perceived power, of wealth, the decision-makers.

World War I was merely simmering and assembling across the pond. Ignored, denied by all. Except for Winston Churchill, who 10 years before the official acceptance of what Heir Hitler and his mob were doing. World War II was in reality merely chapter ______, in the perpetual war that has raged, waned, spread, for millenia.

In conjunction with the spiritual war. The two cannot be separated.

Today, with technology and ideologies as never before on earth, along with the spiritual war as never before on earth, the people had best be paying attention and prepare. Well and wisely. According to God and His Word.

That said, if in Christ, truly, there ought not to be any fear or trepidation in you. Seriously. If a citizen of heaven, not this world, if truly in Christ, why would you fear anything here in this temporal realm? Seriously.

Go to God’s Word to find out why this is true if you do not believe me, which you shouldn’t, and you should go automatically and directly to God’s inerrant, infallible, unchangeable, eternal, living, and active Word.

The words “do not fear” appear 365 times in the Holy Bible. A person could read one a day for a year, and begin again, to strengthen them in the way and words of the LORD to overcome this world and any fear that might creep in.

Here, I’ll give you a little start, and you can go find the rest on your own with your eyes and heart in an open Holy Bible;

“Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”

Isaiah 41:10

For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.

2 Timothy 1:7

Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”

Joshua 1:9

I sought the Lord, and he answered me and delivered me from all my fears.

Psalm 34:4

Say to those who have an anxious heart, “Be strong; fear not! Behold, your God will come with vengeance, with the recompense of God. He will come and save you.”

Isaiah 35:4

There was no 12-day war, no 6-day war, no 100-year war. There is nothing but an ongoing war of a physical and spiritual nature — with what appear to be times of peace, a delusion, interspersed between the open conflicts.

This is ESPECIALLY true in the Middle East, regarding Israel and Jerusalem. Israel, the apple of God’s eye, His land, and the center of the world, and Jerusalem, its heart.

Iran could build 666,000,000,000,000,000 missiles, and they would not, could not ever defeat Israel, because they will never defeat or conquer God. Have you looked at things in that light and reality?

Oh, as for anyone not believing the Holy Bible, the words and ways of God, not in Christ, and following the world, well, I can understand whatever fears reside in you, which must be many. For you are in the dark, you are actually darkness — though you won’t abide that truth and rebel from it, probably having some choice words either thought or spoken about what I wrote — but anyone not in Christ, abiding the the ways and words of this dark world, is darkness themselves.

How in the world can you truly know the how, what, why, and who of anything in this world if you are only going on what misinformation the world gives you of itself?

Every word of Bible prophecy has come true. Except for the few things remaining, which are unfolding and coming true now each day!

Don’t take my word for it, what I say, go eat and drink, immerse yourself in God’s Word, and find what He has to say.

The war will come to an end one day. Sooner than later.

But only due to the fulfillment of every word of prophecy within the Holy Bible, and the LORD Jesus Christ returning a Second and Final time.

There is only one true peace. In Him.

In Christ. In Yeshua Hamashiach.

For what is coming is going to be the worst days, the worst times on earth. Ever. I won’t be here to witness it, nor will my wife, nor a few other folks. But if not believing this? No time for such things in your rebellion, denial, living a life of illusion? Well, if you remain so, do not acknowledge a need for a Savior, as you are a sinner and things aren’t going according to plan, and you do not repent? Do not confess your sins? Do not humble yourself and acknowledge the fact that Jesus IS God, acknowledge what He did on the cross, and by walking out of the tomb three days later, and do not take Him as LORD of your life? Having your heart and mind changed, renewed from within by the Supernatural power of the Holy Spirit — by FAITH alone, not by what you do, what you give, what you wear, what you’re working at being “a good person.” There is no such person on earth. No, not even you. Just the facts. Deal with it. Before Judgment comes and eternal reality deals with you, if not in Christ, truly.

By faith alone. In Jesus. For what He did. And continues to do.

Maranatha.

Iran Is Building a Missile Empire, the World Looks Away

Little attention is being paid to Iran in the aftermath of the 12‑Day War, but the threat it now poses is growing significantly. While global focus has shifted to other crises, Iran has rapidly and aggressively been accelerating its ballistic missile production at the speed of light. The Iranian regime is proudly announcing its manufacture of vast quantities of missiles, expanding assembly lines, and is openly boasting about its growing arsenal. Iran is not concealing these developments; it is bragging about them. The regime, despite a crippling drought, appears to feel emboldened, empowered, and determined.

“Iran’s missile power today far surpasses that of the 12‑Day War,” Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi recently declared. His remarks were reinforced by Defense Minister Brig. Gen. Aziz Nasirzadeh, who claimed that the defense industry has not only recovered from wartime strain but has grown dramatically. “Iran’s defense production has improved both in quantity and quality compared to before the 12‑day Israeli-imposed war in June,” he stated, insisting that new missiles are now rolling off production lines faster than ever. The government seems to believe it has momentum—and appears eager to show it.

Some politicians and analysts may dismiss these proclamations as Iran just wishing to intimidate adversaries, prevent attacks and maintain regional influence. The reality, however, is that Iran’s missile production is most likely meant to wage war again, either directly or through its proxies. The regime has a documented record of firing its missiles at U.S. military bases, at targets in Iraq, at striking Israel, and launching missiles into Qatar. Iran has also provided ballistic missiles to militant groups such as the Houthis in Yemen and has also been supplying missile and drone technology to Russia for use against Ukraine. Iran’s proxies have launched missiles at civilian airports, commercial vessels, cities, and infrastructure across the region. Anyone who interprets this build‑up as “defensive” is ignoring decades of evidence to the contrary.

Iran is additionally boasting that its missiles can hit U.S. cities, European capitals, and targets throughout the Middle East. Iranian officials continue to emphasize their desire to wipe out Israel. Iran seems to view missile development as the backbone of its strategy to compensate for conventional military weaknesses. What if Iran should load just one of these missiles with a nuclear warhead? The window to constrain Iran’s capabilities may be rapidly closing. The U.S. should have let Israel keep on going when it wanted to, after the Trump administration took out three of Iran’s nuclear plants: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu knows what he is doing.

The West would be wise to put a credible military option back on the table: let Iran know that continued missile expansion, threats, and proliferation will again provoke a direct and forceful response. This would entail strategically identifying and facilities involved in the development, assembly, testing, and distribution of ballistic missiles.

The second step should involve comprehensive, relentless sanctions. Any individual, corporation, foreign bank, or government entity involved in facilitating Iran’s ballistic missile program might be sanctioned without delay. Also included should be suppliers of raw materials, transportation networks, front companies, and financial institutions that help Iran circumvent restrictions. The sanctions need to be enforced with penalties severe enough to deter others from assisting Iran and include freezing overseas assets, banning access to global banking systems, and imposing full trade restrictions on any company or country that aids Iran’s missile program.

Perhaps the most important economic pressure point is cutting off or severely restricting Iran’s oil sales to cripple its ability to sustain rapid missile production. This means applying intense diplomatic pressure on Iran’s major purchasers to halt imports. Every barrel of Iranian oil sold directly funds missile components, weapons shipments to proxies, drone fleets, and destabilizing operations across the region.

Iran’s missiles do not remain confined within the country’s borders. They are distributed to militant organizations that operate far from Iran’s territory, extending Tehran’s reach. If the West is serious about stopping Iran’s missile expansion, dismantling these missile networks must be part of the strategy. Every intercepted shipment delays Tehran’s ambitions and weakens its ability to radiate threats.

Iran’s missile arsenal was already large before the 12‑Day War, but it is now significantly bigger, more sophisticated, and growing at an unprecedented speed. The regime’s confidence and aggression are rising in parallel with its production capacity. It is important to act before Iran’s missiles reshape the geopolitical landscape in ways that could be difficult to reverse. Stopping this expansion requires combining a credible military option with severe sanctions, cutting off the regime’s oil revenue, and targeting every node of its proliferation network. Iran must not be allowed to grow stronger, more dangerous, and more emboldened. The stakes are global, affecting every nation that depends on a secure free world.
