Two US troops killed and one missing after Iranian attack in Jordan

Hey Watchmen, Two of our own soldiers gone, one still missing — killed by an Iranian-linked strike on our men stationed in Jordan. My friends, I don't take any pleasure saying this, but I've been telling you for months, this Iranian shadow web — Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Lebanon, now reaching into Jordan — isn't random. It's a network of proxies being moved like pieces on a board, and every time our leadership hesitates to respond decisively, that hesitation gets read as weakness and answered with more blood. I've said before I'm embarrassed at some of what my own country has allowed to fester in that region over these last couple decades — well, here's another chapter of the bill coming due. Scripture doesn't leave nations who shed blood unaccountable, and it doesn't leave watchmen who stay silent unaccountable either. Ezekiel 33 lays it out plain — the watchman who sees the sword coming and doesn't blow the shofar bears responsibility for what follows. That's not a comfortable word, but it's the job. We are watching a region get pulled tighter and tighter toward the confrontation Daniel and the prophets described — kings of the north and south, powers jockeying, nations testing how far they can push before someone answers back. Jordan sits right there on that map, right in that valley of decision. So don't let this become just another headline that scrolls by, my friends. Pray for the family of those we lost, pray for the one still missing to come home, and pray for wisdom over the men who have to decide what comes next — because decisions made in the coming days will echo. Keep watching, keep your lamps trimmed, and stay ready.
