UPDATED VERSION:

Israel needs to stop obeying whoever sits behind the Resolute Desk in Washington, D.C. and abide in the LORD, in the Word of God, in faith in YAHWEH.

Those familiar with Bible prophecy know that there is a time coming — sooner rather than later — wherein the Church, born from above Christ followers, and Jews who have come to faithfully know, believe and follow Jesus, Yeshua, as the Messiah will be vacating this spinning sphere to the LORD be near.

Then, there will rise up a “little horn” to seize upon the opportunity given to him by his father, the father of lies, Satan. This Beast, this Antichrist, will make a pact, a heretofore unheard of treaty with Israel, and Israel will be duped, again, into going along with the world. This Antichrist will, after three and a half years of grand illusion and signs and wonders heretofore unseen and unknown will turn on Israel in ways that make all previous persecutions and enslavement pale in comparison.

Because Israel continues to yearn for the world’s approval. yearns to be accepted. Even knowing it won’t be. Especially, seeming to need America’s approval before acting. Placing more faith in America than in God.

A big mistake.

Here’s some proof: Netanyahu shocked? Israel left in the dark before Trump announcement of U.S. truce with Houthi terrorists | World Israel News

How would you like to have a best friend like that?

If you have a friend being threatened, attacked regularly, repeatedly — over 400 missiles and drones fired on Israel by the Houthis — and you claim to be that friend’s great ally? Why would you form a pact, a truce with the enemy of your friend, and not notify your friend? Leaving them on their own.

Arrogance. Indifference. Rudeness. When it comes down to it, not much of a friend, even though there’s so much hype and wind passed about being so close.

Not much of a friendship when your supposed best friend and ally strikes up a truce with people who have done nothing but attack you, and have vowed to continue to attack you. Must be nice to be a large nation thousands of miles away, separated by a vast ocean, and strike up a deal with your friend’s enemy, leaving your professed friend more vulnerable.

Oh, sure, America has loosened up the flow of arms to Israel, but that was done with a dual purpose. Remember Congress allotting a certain amount of money to Israel for arms and defense? Well, when Israel buys weapons from America, that money comes right back to America. It’s like being the banker when playing Monopoly. Only this is real life. People are dying. Held hostage. Wars are being fought 24/7. Lives and families forever altered.

Friendship built on “What’s in it for me?” isn’t the best of friendships, is it?

Israel, when it comes down to it, perhaps not today, perhaps not tomorrow — but when it comes down to it and things are pressed, you will find yourself all alone. Contrary to the words spoken in your direction by men. Even those who have claimed to be your greatest friend.

But this is how it’s been and how it will be. It will take what is coming in order for the remaining souls in Israel at the latter period of the Great Tribulation to finally have the scales removed from their eyes, their stiff necks loosed, and for them to come to know Yeshua, Jesus of Nazareth, of the tribe of Judah, of the lineage of David to be Hamashiach, Messiah, the Christ, the Son of God!

Finally uttering in earnest,  “Blessed is He who comes in the name of the LORD!’ ”

ברוך הבא בשם יהוה

“Bruch haba beshm Adonai!”

Israel could take care of Iran swiftly and completely — and they should. Relying on the LORD rather than whoever is restraining them from Washington, D.C.

But they won’t. For fear of aggravating American leadership. Always seeking approval from whoever sits behind the desk in the Oval Office.

Understandable, but if they faithfully believed and understood Scripture they should know the how’s why’s, who’s, what’s, and wherefore’s and that God is with them no matter who is sitting behind that Resolute Desk in the Oval Office — too bad the leadership of Israel, the Israeli people are not more united and resolute in their faith in the LORD, knowledge of Scripture — all of it — placing their faith in the LORD above everything else.

Whoever leads Israel ought to rely solely, faithfully on the LORD. He has and will protect and preserve Israel. Against all enemies, against all odds stacked against it.

Ahhh, one day, and those who are born from above will see it. Because we’ll be coming back with Christ on His conquering Second Return to this world.

And this is likely to be occurring much sooner than much later.

I pray for the leaders of Israel and America. Daily. I pray for the peace of Jerusalem and Israel, and America. Faithfully, to the LORD.

I love America and count my blessings daily to have been born here, and to live here — but the reality is, the facts are, the truth is that Israel is what matters more. Matters most.

I also pray that the leadership and people of Israel come to an awakening that they need to place their faith and obedience in God, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. The God that brought them out of bondage, kept them preserved through World War II, and made it possible for Israel to be brought back again, on May 14, 1948. I pray the leaders and people of Israel become acutely aware that it is the LORD, only the LORD, in whom they should trust and follow and obey. No other nation. No man on earth.

Men and women are always going to let Israel down. After all the words. After all the deals. It’s the way it is. Not according to me — according to history, according to the Holy Bible, according to God.

Best prepare. Today. Do not hesitate. You have no control over your next breath, your next heartbeat, or if you’ll be here tomorrow — or an hour from now.

The Iran Problem Israel’s Not Allowed to Solve

The clock is ticking.

May 6, 2025

By Aynaz Anni Cyrus

Reprinted from Frontpage Magazine

Israel has the intelligence. Israel has the firepower. Israel has every moral and strategic justification. So why hasn’t it acted?

The question has loomed over every missile shipment to Hezbollah, every enrichment milestone in Natanz, every fiery Friday sermon from Khamenei: What is Israel waiting for?

More than a decade of warnings have passed — red lines drawn and crossed. Netanyahu has stood before the U.N. with props and PowerPoints, declared that Iran is months from a bomb, vowed to protect the Jewish state at any cost. And yet, here we are again: Iran enriching uranium at near weapons-grade levels, negotiations dragging on with U.S. backchannel chatter, and Israel, once again, holding fire.

Why?

Let’s start with the most obvious truth: Israel can act.

Iisrael’s capabilities are not in question. The IDF possesses one of the most advanced militaries in the world. It operates F-35I “Adir” stealth fighters, long-range precision strike systems, electronic warfare tools, and the kind of deep intelligence most nations can only dream of. Mossad has already proven its reach — from smuggling out an entire nuclear archive from Tehran in 2018 to sabotaging enrichment sites under the mullahs’ noses. Israel even demonstrated its readiness with the October 2024 strikes, which reportedly damaged Iranian missile production facilities and degraded regional IRGC capabilities.

So again: why no decisive strike on Iran’s nuclear infrastructure?

The answer, in part, lies in Washington.

From Obama to Biden to Trump 2.0, the U.S. continues to restrain Israel in the name of diplomacy. While each administration claims to be tough on Iran, the real play has been the same across parties: prevent open war in the Middle East, keep the oil markets calm, and kick the nuclear can down the road.

Now in his second term, President Trump has returned to form — talking sanctions one day, floating “limited freeze” offers the next. His Iran envoy, Steve Witkoff, is a former real estate lawyer with no diplomatic track record, currently accused of sending mixed signals to allies while negotiating via backchannel messengers that Tehran mocks publicly. And all of this is wrapped in Trump’s likely desire to brand himself, once again, as the president who “avoided war in the Middle East.”

But peace at the expense of action is not peace. It’s paralysis.

And in that vacuum, Iran grows bolder. Just recently, Iran’s regime dismissed reports from Reuters and The New York Times about their nuclear advances as “fabrications,” while its foreign ministry demanded an end to “threats and pressure” — even as it accelerated uranium enrichment and tightened ties with China and Russia.

So what is Israel’s move? Does Netanyahu truly believe that America will eventually act? Or is he caught in a political cycle — warning, posturing, then retreating under U.S. pressure and international optics?

Even former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert is now publicly criticizing Netanyahu, accusing him of failure to influence the trajectory of U.S.-Iran talks. Meanwhile, the Israeli opposition is offering five conditions for any nuclear deal — but that’s just more talk.

1. Complete halt to uranium enrichment

2. Full dismantlement of all advanced centrifuges

3. Total closure of underground facilities like Fordow

4. Unrestricted IAEA inspections — anytime, anywhere

5. A permanent end to Iranian support for terror proxies

They’re right to demand them. But let’s not kid ourselves — Tehran will never agree to any of it. These conditions are not a negotiation framework. They’re a list of what it would take to neutralize Iran’s threat — and Iran knows it.

Tehran isn’t negotiating. Tehran is waiting for weakness — and Washington keeps delivering it.

So we come back to the question:

If Israel knows Iran will never stop voluntarily… if it knows the bomb is within reach… and if it has the capability to act — then why hasn’t it?

Is this about waiting for the perfect moment? Or is this about fear, not fear of Iran, but fear of America’s disapproval?

Because let’s be clear: Iran is not deterred by diplomacy. It’s emboldened by it.

• It has killed over 600 U.S. troops through Quds Force-backed operations
• It continues to fund terror from Gaza to Lebanon to Yemen
• It openly calls for the destruction of Israel — and not metaphorically
• It defies every IAEA inspection and breaks every limit, only to demand relief and legitimacy in return

So, how long do we wait? Until Tehran actually tests a bomb? Until Tel Aviv is in range? Until the next American administration decides, once again, to try another version of the same failed deal?

There is no deal to be made. There is no trust to be built. And there is no future for Israel if it continues outsourcing its survival to American elections and global posturing.

It’s time for clarity.

If Israel truly sees Iran’s nuclear program as an existential threat, then it must act like it.

And if the United States won’t act — and worse, won’t let Israel act — then it is complicit in what comes next.

The clock is ticking.

History won’t ask who had the best intelligence. It will ask who used it.
