Trump to re-establish the nation of Israel, but it was God\u2019s doing \u2013 not Pres. Trump\u2019s doing \u2013 and God has done it to fulfill His Word.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">(More: On June 16, 2026, America\u2019s ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, said, \u201cWithout Israel, without the Jewish foundation, there would not be an America. We owe our very existence to what happened in this land.\u201d)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are some recent events that seem to indicate that the end of the age is near:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>One<\/strong>, on June 14, 2028, my good friend <a href=\"mailto:garyfisher@bellsouth.net\">garyfisher@bellsouth.net<\/a> (Lion of Judah Ministry) sent out an email titled \u201cThoughts On the Iran War.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are the thoughts of this excellent Bible Prophecy teacher:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>This current war was actually started by the appeasement policies toward Iran of Barack Obama and Joe Biden.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Barack Obama sent the Iranians money, and Biden removed sanctions that were taking a huge toll on Iran.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>As those appeasement policies progressed, Iran became bolder and bolder.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The money from removed sanctions and cash that Obama sent was being used to finance Iran\u2019s proxies, including Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon, and aid in Iran\u2019s nuclear development.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Western world knew that trouble was brewing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Western world doesn\u2019t seem to be able to acknowledge a fundamental Islamic eschatology.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Muslims (Iran in particular) believe that their final saviour, called the Mahdi, will emerge in global conflict to establish Shariah law and subjugate the entire world.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It is therefore in their interest to provoke war.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>This is why no \u201cdeal\u201d will have lasting success.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In spite of any peace talks, Iran continues to attack Israel through Hezbollah, which is a proxy army for Iran and resident in Lebanon.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>They continue to take orders and funding from Iran.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>As Hezbollah attacks on Israel continue, Israel has no choice but to defend themselves.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>As they do, they are accused of risking chances of Middle East peace.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>As the old saying goes, \u201cWhen Israel is attacked, it\u2019s a war. When Israel retaliates, it\u2019s a crime.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>This is an unfair assessment and is testing the patience of the Lord!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Lord\u2019s patience with the world on how they treat Israel will soon run out.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Zechariah 14 states that the Lord will gather all nations against Israel.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>On that day, He will defeat them all, and He will be established as King over the whole earth.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>That day is drawing near.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Two<\/strong>, the Bible says when they say \u201cpeace and safety\u201d (peace and security), then sudden destruction (the Tribulation Period) will come upon them (I Thess. 5:3).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Following the announcement that the U.S. and Iran had reached what they described as a peace agreement aimed at ending months of conflict and reopening the strategically important Strait of Hormuz:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On June 14, 2026, Pres. Trump said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>This Great Deal will bring Peace and Security to the whole Region.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Many presidents have tried to make Peace with Iran, and all have failed before me.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Leaders of the Region have, for the first time, found a President who can help them achieve real Peace.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">(My comment: Notice that Pres. Trump didn\u2019t say his agreement has brought peace and security. He said it will bring peace and security. My friend Gary Fisher rightly said, \u201cThe day is drawing near.\u201d)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">(Note: The agreement is to extend the ceasefire for 60 days, and it is dependent upon an end to the conflict in Lebanon, where Israel has been fighting the Iranian-backed Hezbollah.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">(FYI: According to statements from both sides, a signing ceremony is scheduled for June 19, 2026, in Switzerland, where officials are expected to formalize the agreement. VP JD Vance is planning to attend, and Pres. Trump may participate. The Strait of Hormuz will be open toll-free after the agreement is signed.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">(My opinion: This could be the fake peace that will need to be confirmed \u2013 strengthened \u2013 by the Antichrist at a later date.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">(My opinion: Pres. Trump didn\u2019t save Israel. He saved Iran to fight Israel again in a war called the Battle of Gog of Magog. God predicted this war in Ezek. 38.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Three<\/strong>, on June 15, 2026, Tanya Koenig wrote the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Two foundational truths clarify the moment. Iran, ancient Persia, will remain an enemy of Israel and will join a coalition determined to destroy her.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>America will not stand with Israel militarily when that coalition comes against her.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ezekiel names Persia in that coalition; this is not an invention of modern prophecy teachers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The same passage does not show a great Western military power delivering Israel.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The nations of trade and commerce question the attack, but they do not save her.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>God Himself intervenes because the final testimony is not American power, European diplomacy, or global management, but the Lord making Himself known before the nations.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>God declared the end from the beginning: \u2018Remember the former things of old, For I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like Me, Declaring the end from the beginning, And from ancient times things that are not yet done, Saying, My counsel shall stand, And I will do all My pleasure\u2019\u201d (Isaiah 46:9-10, NKJV).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tanya Koenig added:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>What is forming is not simply a regional settlement.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It is a wider pattern in which peace is negotiated without righteousness, security is pursued without truth, money moves without repentance, and Israel is treated as the obstacle to global stability.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>This MOU may not be the final agreement, but it reveals the diplomatic architecture taking shape around Israel.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It is not a deal.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It is an MOU.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It may not be the final agreement, but it shows the structure of the age taking shape, and it warns every nation again: do not go against the God of Israel.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">UPDATE: On June 17, 2026, Koenig said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The MOU text circulating through Arab and Israeli channels is deeply troubling.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It is not a real deal.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It is an intention on paper, and the intention favors Iran.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It reportedly ends the war on all fronts, including Lebanon, while placing Israel under pressure to restrain itself.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It lifts the naval blockade, restores maritime traffic, allows Iran to resume oil and fuel sales through U.S. Treasury waivers, and points toward a massive economic rehabilitation plan for Iran, while the most dangerous issues are left for later.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>That combination tells the story: relief now, the most dangerous questions later.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Four<\/strong>, on June 16, 206, a long-time reader (pastor) sent me his opinion from India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>We all know what Trump did: namely, deserting Israel people are talking of reasons unknown to us.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Some say it is fulfillment of prophecy in the last days.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The U.S.-Iran agreement to extend the ceasefire and reopen the Strait of Hormuz is not victory. Not if winning is still the main metric of victory.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>That is a wounded serpent being allowed to crawl back into the rocks to reload, rebuild, rearm and reactivate.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>That is why this proposed deal is so dangerous.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A ceasefire with a defeated enemy is one thing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A ceasefire with an\u00a0undefeated\u00a0terror regime is something else entirely.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It is\u00a0not\u00a0peace; it is a pause button, just as Obama\u2019s 2015 Nuclear Deal with Iran only allowed them to get closer to a nuclear weapon.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Trump\u2019s Iran peace deal is not resolution; it is reload time.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It is not the end of the war; it is the intermission before the next act.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>There\u2019s a reason why Iran is mentioned in the Bible and the United States is not.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Trump is preparing to send billions of dollars to Iran if this \u2018peace deal\u2019 goes through, and that is bad, bad news on any level, and on every level.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Today we bring you everything you need to know about what will possibly be the\u00a0worst\u00a0deal America has ever struck with a foreign adversary.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Five<\/strong>, concerning wickedness, violence, human trafficking, and drug use at the end of the age: on June 12, 2026, Pres.
