US and Iran on the Brink of All-Out War Over the Strait

Ancient Persia and the great power of the West are once again trading blows, and the talk has turned to all-out war over that narrow strait where so much of the world's lifeblood flows. The kingdom Daniel saw as the bear (Daniel 7:5) still commands the center of the map, and every escalation there is another of the birth pangs our Messiah named — wars and rumors of wars, nation rising against nation (Matthew 24:6-7). Do not let the drumbeat drive you to dread, my friends. Yeshua told us these things must come, and then added, "see that ye be not troubled." The God who fixed the boundaries of the nations has not lost His grip on Persia, nor on a single vessel in that strait. So watch the East soberly, intercede for the peace of Jerusalem, and keep your eyes above the smoke. Stay ready.
