As a born again man in the faith of the LORD Jesus Christ, Yeshua Hamashiach, and a believer in Him and every word within His Word, while also being a human man in this present world, there are two parts to me, as they likely are within you, if you, too, are a born again believer in Jesus, and alive presently.

The earthly part reads what the world knows, thinks, asks, and believes, as found in the article below, and attempts to understand what is going on.

If I were only a worldly man, lacking the faith I have, not renewed of mind and spirit by the Spirit of God, not discerning, not knowledgeable in the Word of God, I would be greatly distressed, wondering, “Why isn’t President Trump finishing the job in Iran!?”

As a disciple of Jesus, living within the Holy Bible and receiving discernment from the Holy Spirit, which transcends any meager, finite, emotional, worldly human nature view of matters, I know, as you ought to know if you are like me and a true child of God, born anew in faith in Jesus.

God is Sovereign. God is in control. Man is exhibiting total free choice, but God, Who is OUTSIDE OF TIME and beyond our comprehension, really, Who being outside of time and knowing every thought saw the ways of every man, every action, and what is taking place every moment, among every person on earth —- yes, among EVERY PERSON ON EARTH — is the fulfillment of EVERY WORD of Bible prophecy, for we all are living in Biblical times. It ain’t all over yet.

The earthly part of me has been, “Come on, President Trump, finish the job already!” In fact, I even took a couple of minutes about a week ago or so and contacted the White House, stating that President Trump needs to be more decisive and to stop playing word games with everyone. I realize it’s all part of it, but he has become like the boy who cried wolf. We’ve heard so many times about a deal almost struck, about how well the negotiations are going, and blah, blah, blah, and anyone even remotely aware of Islam, and the Shia Islam of the Iranian regime, knows how they operate, and there is no way that what we’ve been told were the unbreakable ground rules would Iran agree to. Ever.

I’ve written here more times than I can recall or count how it appears President Trump doesn’t really understand Islam and the Middle East, as he sees everything from the position of the economy. Dollars. Economic opportunity and money solve all things and can bring peace.

President Trump is not a born again faithful believer and disciple of the LORD Jesus Christ. That is evident. By their fruit you will know them, right?

Don’t be deceived.

President Trump is shrewd, strong, calculating, intelligent, and a great American president — but he isn’t a born again disciple of the LORD Jesus Christ, yet he is doing things to fulfill Bible prophecy.

If he were to “finish the job” in Iran, which equates to removing the regime that has been in place since 1979, and open up Iran to become a democratic republic, turned over to the Iranian people as it had been before 1979, who knows how long it would take for a regime to once again rise in Iran that will align with Russia and Turkey and fulfill Bible propehcy in the Ezekiel 38– 39 war. The current regime needs to remain in place. If Iran became a free, open, democratic republic of “We the people,” it wouldn’t fit. It wouldn’t fit the Bible prophecy unfolding in Iran and the Middle East with everything else happening in America and around the world.

Everything happening — technology advancing faster than humans can keep up with it, changes in world leaders, the worldview being what it has become, the falling away within the church, the rise of false teachers, the increase in lawlessness and violence, the greater stresses and difficulties in daily life, costs, fears, you name it, the situation in the Middle East — as Israel is the center of the world, and Jerusalem it’s heart, and everything is aligning to have Israel be center stage in all world events — the rise of worldwide antisemitism, all the pieces are coming together. Anyone paying even a modest amount of attention ought to see the picture already.

And believe.

But the world doesn’t. Most will never see or hear. Or believe.

Only a remnant ever will.

Don’t believe this? Well, just read the article below and listen, watch, inhale with greater acuity daily, and you’ll see, hear, and smell it. Or you should. Hopefully.

Be part of the remnant and not of the world, which is lost and destined for a horrible eternity. Seek Jesus. Wholly and holy. Always. We’re in this world but not of this world. Or that’s who we should be and how we should be thinking and living.

Why doesn’t Trump just finish the job in Iran?

May 26, 2026

WHY DOESN’T TRUMP JUST FINISH THE JOB IN IRAN? It’s a question heard everywhere from casual cookouts to the halls of Congress: Why doesn’t President Donald Trump just finish the job in Iran? Bomb the hell out of it, send in the troops, double down, and get it over with?

It’s a question that came up in a recent press briefing on negotiations to end the war, held on Sunday by a senior administration official. When members of Congress — a reporter mentioned Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) as one example — urge the president to escalate, what is the administration’s reaction?

The first thing the official did was to recognize the legitimacy of the debate and specifically not question the motives of the critics on the hawkish side, even if he disagreed with them. “It’s always tough to get into motivations because I think people are complicated,” he said. “I think some of it’s probably political, some of it’s strategic, some of it’s that they have a deeply-held belief that this is what’s in the best interest of the country.”

But what to do? “We have to ask ourselves at any time we take an action, what does it accomplish for the American people?” the official answered. “And I think where the president’s view is right now is that you would need a substantial escalation in order to meaningfully change things that are on the ground.”

That appeared to be a frank assessment — the official emphasized the word “substantial” — of the amount of U.S. force that would be needed to “finish the job,” as some of the president’s critics define it. Which leads to the question: Would that be worth it?

“You could, of course, exert more pain, which is more pressure, which means more leverage,” the official said. “Maybe that allows you to have a better deal. But I hear some people saying we need to do this, or you can’t stop until the regime tips over. And my question on that is, well, what do you actually mean by that? Because the president of the United States has taken a lot of action.”

Indeed, the official continued, the president’s actions in Iran have already had a significant effect. “The players in the regime are radically different today than they were two months ago,” the official said. “You still have some hardliners, but you have a lot of pragmatists who have been elevated in their system, who have more influence than they did before this conflict started. And so you could always get more through military conduct, the question is whether you could get something that is worth the cost.”

The cost question — Is it worth it? — is what the president always has to ask, the official said. “Now, of course, he hasn’t taken additional military action off the table. But I think that what he said is we’re only going to do something on the military side if I think that it’s going to further our objectives. And so that’s obviously a dynamic decision-making process.”

And finally, to Graham. The senator’s instinct “is always that the cost is worth the benefit,” the official said. “And that’s just not how the president sees these things. Obviously, he’s willing to use military force when he feels that he needs to. But he is also willing to not use it if he thinks the cost does not justify it. So it’s just a fundamentally different way of thinking about things, a fundamentally different bias, and I think that’s what’s going on.”

So why doesn’t Trump just finish the job in Iran? The short version of this conversation was that it would take a substantial escalation of military force to change the current situation, and the president does not think it is worth it. The official did not detail just what a “substantial escalation” would involve, but the U.S. has already applied a lot of military force in Iran, so it would be a lot of force on top of force. It’s no surprise the president is reluctant to do it if there are other options available.
