It’s time to SPEAK UP – let your voice be heard in heaven – petition our King to spare ones being targeted for destruction.! You will see salvation come to those perishing under an evil decree, just as Esther did! It’s time for a spiritual revival and freedom in Christ to fill the earth with God’s Glory! So, remember, Jesus said in Mark 11:17, “MY House will be called a House of Prayer for ALL nations…”
But no nation, tribe or tongue will ever replace Jews in God’s heart or plan.
Apostle Paul foretold in Romans 11: 11-24, Jewish branches once cut off from Christ at his first coming WILL be grafted back in at THE END of the Gentile (Church) Age. Isreal will finally accept Jesus as Messiah at His return. Meanwhile, worldly men in 1 Thessalonians 5:3 will try to create peace and safety in the Middle East their own way. So, while we’re commanded to pray for the Peace of Jerusalem in Psalm 122, we know real peace will not be obtained until Christ reigns in the Millennial Age on Earth.
Until then, any contracted peace is precarious at best, leaving people vulnerable and “unaware” that destruction is looming close at hand.
The recent bombing of Iran’s nuclear reactors shows just how fragile such “peace” pursuits are. It seems a prophetic judgement spoken by Jeremiah against Elam (modern day Iran) may have been fulfilled in this bombing event. Jeremiah 49:35 decrees, “Behold, I will break the bow of Elam, the mainstay of their might (or power)”. How ironic that bombs literally fell on Iran’s nuclear POWER plants, located where Elam previously existed in Jeremiah’s day.
Christ’s first coming established His Spiritual Kingdom and offered GRACE to all who would repent, but His Second Coming as King will literally require the
unrepentant to suffer as the seals are broken on His Scroll of Judgement found in Revelation 6. Verse 16 says men will beg the mountains to hide them from the face of God “who sits on the THRONE and from the WRATH OF THE LAMB!” That ‘s why Christians must arise like Esther, praying for her King to save those damned for destruction. It’s time to pray for the nations, before it’s too late and their fates are literally “sealed” forever.
The first four seals of judgement release 4 horsemen of the Apocalypse. The white horse represents POWER TO CONQUER and its rider holds a BOW, but no arrows (rockets or missiles)! Is it just a coincidence Jeremiah prophesied breaking the BOW (or launcher) of ancient Elam, where Iran has its nuclear power hidden? Is it coincidence or symbolic code that the
horsemen are the same colors of the Arab national flags? Revelation is foretelling which lands will rise against Israel in the Tribulation, when their peace covenant is broken and Anti-Christ is fully revealed. Ezekiel 38 & 39 also prophesied an invasion by these same Arab nations when Isreal is “at peace” and unsuspecting. Currently, Israel’s never enjoyed peace with its Arab neighbors, though progress was moving in that direction from 2017 until the
October 2023 Hamas attacks halted Syria’s normalization agreement. Now, things appear to be moving forward again and we are forced to consider how close we are getting to a final peace agreement that will start a 7-year Tribulation Period on Earth.
Today we’re watching Iran (like the Persian King) and Israel (like Queen Esther) begin to deal with Haman (Hamas, Palestine and the Arab States) to stop all threats of violence. Trump continues to fulfill the role of CYRUS, supporting Israel’s pursuit of peace and their desire to rebuild the Temple. And to make things even more curious, the exiled crown Prince of Iran - Reza CYRUS Pahlavi – could be restored to his Persian homeland and throne if a regime change occurs in Iran.
Whatever happens next, the CHURCH must be praying, not just weighing the political climate in these matters. Iran’s underground Church is currently the fastest growing in the world, followed by the one in Afghanistan. Such converts face terrible abuse and the threat of murder – just like Esther did – should their true identities be exposed. Yet, the underground Church is praying and God is transforming the world around them!
Islam, like other religions, is at war with Christianity and Christ. Although it recognizes Jesus as a Prophet, it refuses to acknowledge Him as God’s Son, denying He was ever crucified or died for man’s sin. Muslims believe Prophet Mohammed and
his Quran, which say his death was a hoax. Muslims also believe they will live in heaven as a reward for their good works, accomplished by strictly obeying all moral, civil and religious laws (Failure to wear a head covering could result in a woman dying in a brutal honor killing)
Islam enslaves more women than any other culture today. In the near future, a Muslim Mahdi will arise to unite Arab Nations and dominate the world, by enforcing Islamic principles. It’s time for Esther’s to pray Haman (Anti-Christ) is stopped and that Jesus sets his captives free.
