Trump held Situation Room meeting on massive new Iran strikes

Hey Watchmen, Another Situation Room meeting on Iran — another sign that the players on this world stage are lining up right where the prophets said they would. My friends, I don't get excited about war talk for war's sake, but I do pay attention when the nations start circling the Persia of old like moths to a flame. Ezekiel names names — Persia is right there in the Gog-Magog alliance of chapter 38 — and every time Iran becomes the center of a superpower's war room, I lean forward, not back. Whatever comes of this particular strike planning, understand this: Elohim is not wringing His hands in heaven wondering what Washington and Tehran will do next. He set the moedim, His prophecies, His set boundaries of the nations, and He is not surprised by a single headline. Here's my caution, though — don't let this become another headline you doom-scroll and forget by Shabbat. Torah teaches us to number our days, not to number our news cycles. Yeshua told His disciples that wars and rumors of wars would come, and that we were not to be troubled, but to lift up our heads because our redemption draws near. That's not passive language — "lift up your heads" is a posture of readiness, not anxiety. So whether these strikes happen tomorrow or get shelved for another season, the assignment for us doesn't change: repentance, prayer for Israel and the nations, and oil in our lamps. So watch the news, friends, but watch it the way a watchman on the wall watches — sober, alert, and anchored in the Word, not in the headlines. Stay ready, stay faithful, and keep your eyes on the Kingdom that cannot be shaken.
