Apparently, after the phone call between Prime Minister Netanyahu and President Trump that led to Trump’s post regarding the agreement with Hezbollah, there was another late-night call in which Trump was reportedly far from pleased. I assume he did not appreciate Netanyahu’s post summarizing the agreement.

I have been following the president’s posts and remarks since his visit to China, and something definitely seems different. I am not sure what happened there, but I am concerned that it may not be particularly favorable to either Israel or Taiwan.

The rush toward another nuclear deal with Iran - one that leaves the IRGC in power and merely postpones an inevitable future confrontation - is something that should deeply concern both Israel and the entire region.

Now, allow me to take off the hat of a concerned Israeli and put on the hat of a Bible prophecy teacher.

Iran will remain anti-Israel and will eventually join a Russian-led coalition against Israel (Ezekiel 38–39). If that is indeed the future God has revealed, then we should not be surprised if a deal is eventually reached.

I am torn between hating the present situation and knowing the future, thus accepting that certain things will happen whether I am for them or against them.

Allow me to close with the famous words of Isaiah 46:9–10:

“Remember 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.’”

Lord, I fully trust these three things:

You are in complete control, and instead of trusting foreign leaders and princes, we should trust in You alone. (Psalm 146:3; Proverbs 3:5–6)
You will never allow Your people Israel to be annihilated. (Jeremiah 31:35–37; Amos 9:8–9)
You will ultimately win the war, and the nations will know that You are God. (Ezekiel 38:23)

Awaiting His Return,

Amir
