WEBVTT 00:00:00.970 --> 00:00:03.250 Greetings and welcome to this week's edition 00:00:03.250 --> 00:00:05.750 of Faith to Live By. I'm Pam Christian, your 00:00:05.750 --> 00:00:08.310 host of this podcast, where I seek to help us 00:00:08.310 --> 00:00:10.849 explore current events from a biblical and prophetic 00:00:10.849 --> 00:00:14.310 perspective. With this week's podcast, I'll provide 00:00:14.310 --> 00:00:17.730 an overview and update on the Israel -Iran conflict. 00:00:18.089 --> 00:00:20.390 Then I'll share what God is saying about other 00:00:20.390 --> 00:00:22.570 issues and events taking place throughout the 00:00:22.570 --> 00:00:25.690 world. Based on today's content, I believe God 00:00:25.690 --> 00:00:29.870 is asking us to understand His call on leaders 00:00:29.870 --> 00:00:33.670 of specific world nations according to His plans 00:00:33.670 --> 00:00:36.270 and purposes for all the nations of the world. 00:00:36.689 --> 00:00:39.009 God has told us to expect Him to work in the 00:00:39.009 --> 00:00:42.250 most unprecedented ways the world has ever seen, 00:00:42.590 --> 00:00:45.810 calling the time we're entering the Golden Age. 00:00:46.429 --> 00:00:48.909 In the midst of God administering judgments and 00:00:48.909 --> 00:00:51.530 justice, which means observing great and terrible 00:00:51.530 --> 00:00:56.179 events, God expects us to remain in faith, believing 00:00:56.179 --> 00:00:59.740 Him for His promises we cannot see instead of 00:00:59.740 --> 00:01:03.820 reacting to the world events we can see. If you 00:01:03.820 --> 00:01:06.140 didn't hear last week's podcast where I provided 00:01:06.140 --> 00:01:09.420 some historical context about the current Israel 00:01:09.420 --> 00:01:12.879 -Iran conflict, I strongly suggest you do so. 00:01:13.180 --> 00:01:16.420 Since this conflict centers largely around Iran's 00:01:16.420 --> 00:01:18.680 violation of nuclear agreements, putting the 00:01:18.680 --> 00:01:21.579 whole world at risk, we need people everywhere 00:01:21.579 --> 00:01:24.680 to have as much accurate understanding of truth 00:01:24.680 --> 00:01:28.319 as possible. My role with this podcast is to 00:01:28.319 --> 00:01:31.299 be your trusted truth advocate researching and 00:01:31.299 --> 00:01:34.620 researching and researching every day to learn 00:01:34.620 --> 00:01:37.519 what is true and what is not so you can choose 00:01:37.519 --> 00:01:40.700 to align yourself with truth and experience the 00:01:40.700 --> 00:01:44.959 certain hope and joy truth provides. I know you're 00:01:44.959 --> 00:01:46.959 busy. I know you're busy with the many things 00:01:46.959 --> 00:01:49.239 you must do for yourself each and every day and 00:01:49.239 --> 00:01:52.260 things you must do for your family and God knows 00:01:52.260 --> 00:01:55.650 that too. So he's positioned me to do the research 00:01:55.650 --> 00:01:58.329 you don't have time to do and to bring you the 00:01:58.329 --> 00:02:01.170 Christian perspective of current events along 00:02:01.170 --> 00:02:04.250 with the promise of the future God offers all 00:02:04.250 --> 00:02:06.849 of us who choose to be aligned with him through 00:02:06.849 --> 00:02:09.669 faith in Jesus Christ by the power of the Holy 00:02:09.669 --> 00:02:15.030 Spirit. I expect you to consider what I bring 00:02:15.030 --> 00:02:18.030 and conclude for yourself. I don't want anyone 00:02:18.030 --> 00:02:20.909 to ever simply accept what anyone tells them. 00:02:21.389 --> 00:02:24.090 personally applying critical thinking is essential 00:02:24.090 --> 00:02:26.849 for each and every one of us. And because of 00:02:26.849 --> 00:02:29.370 the extensive research I do with you in mind, 00:02:29.770 --> 00:02:32.650 I consider my work as being a Christian Reader's 00:02:32.650 --> 00:02:36.169 Digest of current events. Reader's Digest is 00:02:36.169 --> 00:02:38.490 not as well known today as it was in the past. 00:02:38.830 --> 00:02:41.409 The premise of Reader's Digest has always been 00:02:41.409 --> 00:02:44.050 to provide readers with condensed accessible 00:02:44.050 --> 00:02:46.849 versions of articles from various publications 00:02:46.849 --> 00:02:50.550 offering a curated selection of content deemed 00:02:50.550 --> 00:02:54.169 to be of enduring value and interest. It essentially 00:02:54.169 --> 00:02:57.689 acts as a resource of condensed content presenting 00:02:57.689 --> 00:03:00.870 a variety of topics in a compact and easily digestible 00:03:00.870 --> 00:03:03.729 format. Well, that's what I want to do for you. 00:03:03.870 --> 00:03:07.250 In its early years, particularly during wartime, 00:03:07.550 --> 00:03:10.490 Reader's Digest also emphasized inspirational 00:03:10.490 --> 00:03:12.909 and practical content to encourage and support 00:03:12.909 --> 00:03:16.210 readers. And so, I see this as a model of what 00:03:16.210 --> 00:03:19.669 God has called me to do for you. However, specific 00:03:19.669 --> 00:03:22.210 to world events and how they fit into what God 00:03:22.210 --> 00:03:24.810 has revealed are His plans for all the people 00:03:24.810 --> 00:03:28.009 of the world through all time in history until 00:03:28.009 --> 00:03:30.969 God's appointed time when He will deal with all 00:03:30.969 --> 00:03:35.719 evil once and for all. Because we have the entirety 00:03:35.719 --> 00:03:38.840 of the Bible, we have the advantage of considering 00:03:38.840 --> 00:03:42.479 the past, the present, and the future from God's 00:03:42.479 --> 00:03:45.939 perspective, allowing us to discover truth even 00:03:45.939 --> 00:03:50.080 in the darkest times. So I research secular headlines, 00:03:50.520 --> 00:03:53.539 Christian reports, I study the Bible, I listen 00:03:53.539 --> 00:03:56.199 to prophets, I pray to hear from God personally 00:03:56.199 --> 00:03:59.319 and a lot more so I can bring you the light and 00:03:59.319 --> 00:04:02.699 hope of truth. even as we live in a dark and 00:04:02.699 --> 00:04:07.060 evil world. I am so grateful this podcast can 00:04:07.060 --> 00:04:09.400 reach people all over the planet through the 00:04:09.400 --> 00:04:12.580 internet and I need you to be part of making 00:04:12.580 --> 00:04:16.220 this a reality. By your liking, rating, commenting, 00:04:16.579 --> 00:04:19.939 or sharing the link to this podcast you can actually 00:04:19.939 --> 00:04:22.579 help people learn the truth of what's going on 00:04:22.579 --> 00:04:26.100 in our world and help them find the path to true 00:04:26.100 --> 00:04:30.490 personal eternal freedom. By simply sharing you 00:04:30.490 --> 00:04:33.050 help others know about my podcast and you become 00:04:33.050 --> 00:04:35.750 partner with me in the work God has called and 00:04:35.750 --> 00:04:38.790 equipped me to do. Together we can expand his 00:04:38.790 --> 00:04:40.829 kingdom and see his will done on earth as it 00:04:40.829 --> 00:04:43.250 is in heaven. These are highly critical times 00:04:43.250 --> 00:04:46.730 so please don't hear of such a simple task that 00:04:46.730 --> 00:04:49.730 can have such a great kingdom impact and actually 00:04:49.730 --> 00:04:53.110 bring hope to people all over the world and do 00:04:53.110 --> 00:04:56.810 nothing. You may not know the full extent of 00:04:56.810 --> 00:04:59.149 conflicts in the world and the countries in the 00:04:59.149 --> 00:05:01.509 headlines. Did you know while the Middle East 00:05:01.509 --> 00:05:04.110 is highly complex at this time, it is not the 00:05:04.110 --> 00:05:07.540 only area of concern in the world today? Obviously, 00:05:07.680 --> 00:05:09.839 we still have the Ukraine and Russia conflict, 00:05:10.300 --> 00:05:12.980 but there has also been concern over Rwanda and 00:05:12.980 --> 00:05:16.839 Congo, which may be de -escalating now. In addition, 00:05:16.959 --> 00:05:20.459 there's Turkey and Saudi Arabia. There are serious 00:05:20.459 --> 00:05:23.160 tensions from North Korea, which Prophet Barry 00:05:23.160 --> 00:05:25.819 Wunsch just spoke about, and also there's tension 00:05:25.819 --> 00:05:30.259 in Japan, Canada, China, the European Union, 00:05:30.800 --> 00:05:35.680 Pakistan, India, Haiti. the United States, to 00:05:35.680 --> 00:05:38.839 name a few. With all the unrest in the world 00:05:38.839 --> 00:05:42.199 today, hearing about the wars and rumors of wars, 00:05:42.600 --> 00:05:44.480 especially what's going on in the Middle East, 00:05:45.120 --> 00:05:47.699 many people are concerned these are indicators 00:05:47.699 --> 00:05:50.600 that we are very close to the end time events 00:05:50.600 --> 00:05:53.339 revealed in the Bible. Well it's true we're closer 00:05:53.339 --> 00:05:56.360 than ever, but based on the Bible and what God 00:05:56.360 --> 00:05:58.639 has revealed through his trusted prophets, I 00:05:58.639 --> 00:06:01.300 don't believe we're that close to the end times. 00:06:01.610 --> 00:06:04.750 Rather, I believe God is intervening in the affairs 00:06:04.750 --> 00:06:08.269 of humanity once again to push back evil, and 00:06:08.269 --> 00:06:11.589 we who are alive today are privileged to enter 00:06:11.589 --> 00:06:15.589 into what God has called the Golden Age. As I 00:06:15.589 --> 00:06:18.050 share with you this week and the following weeks, 00:06:18.410 --> 00:06:21.389 see if you can't recognize these are not days 00:06:21.389 --> 00:06:23.949 for God's people to be filled with fear and dread, 00:06:24.310 --> 00:06:28.050 but with eager hope and expectation. All of God's 00:06:28.050 --> 00:06:31.230 promises for his people are yes and amen, which 00:06:31.230 --> 00:06:34.250 means so be it. The only people who should ever 00:06:34.250 --> 00:06:37.129 live in fear and dread are those who are not 00:06:37.129 --> 00:06:41.259 rightly aligned with God. I suspect you are following 00:06:41.259 --> 00:06:43.439 the news with clear understanding that no matter 00:06:43.439 --> 00:06:46.639 what country you live in, mainstream media cannot 00:06:46.639 --> 00:06:49.939 be trusted because they are owned by those who 00:06:49.939 --> 00:06:53.300 are bent on evil. Whether it be evil based on 00:06:53.300 --> 00:06:57.000 hate or evil based on greed, people who are willingly 00:06:57.000 --> 00:07:00.680 aligned with either or both have gained substantial 00:07:00.680 --> 00:07:03.240 power within each of these seven mountains of 00:07:03.240 --> 00:07:07.759 society which are religion, government, family, 00:07:08.399 --> 00:07:13.300 education. business, media, and arts slash entertainment. 00:07:13.980 --> 00:07:17.779 For these reasons, I and other truthers have 00:07:17.779 --> 00:07:20.899 come to exist as a means to help us all fight 00:07:20.899 --> 00:07:23.800 against evil and see God's righteousness prevail. 00:07:24.759 --> 00:07:27.899 Okay, let's talk about the Middle East. The Bible 00:07:27.899 --> 00:07:30.519 clearly reveals this is the center of the world. 00:07:31.060 --> 00:07:33.360 It's the place where the Garden of Eden existed. 00:07:33.560 --> 00:07:36.860 and evil first entered the world, and it is the 00:07:36.860 --> 00:07:39.180 place of the final battle between good and evil 00:07:39.180 --> 00:07:43.420 called Armageddon. It will take place in a valley 00:07:43.420 --> 00:07:46.420 in northern Israel near Megiddo, which is the 00:07:46.420 --> 00:07:49.519 modern -day Jezreel Valley. It's understood while 00:07:49.519 --> 00:07:52.379 the armies will gather there, the climactic battle 00:07:52.379 --> 00:07:55.100 will be a larger conflict encompassing the entire 00:07:55.100 --> 00:07:58.019 Holy Land, with Jerusalem potentially being a 00:07:58.019 --> 00:08:01.589 focal point. Before that day, specific war will 00:08:01.589 --> 00:08:04.910 break out known as the War of Gog and Magog. 00:08:05.529 --> 00:08:08.389 Magog is a land or a nation whose leader is named 00:08:08.389 --> 00:08:11.790 Gog, according to Ezekiel chapters 38 and 39 00:08:11.790 --> 00:08:15.529 and Revelation chapter 20 verses 7 to 9. It's 00:08:15.529 --> 00:08:18.790 a future battle of evil against God's people 00:08:18.790 --> 00:08:23.300 that will serve as a sign of the end times. Nations 00:08:23.300 --> 00:08:26.060 typically identified to be involved in this particular 00:08:26.060 --> 00:08:29.899 war of Gog and Magog include Russia, Turkey, 00:08:30.379 --> 00:08:35.720 Iran, Libya, Sudan, Ethiopia. Some interpretations 00:08:35.720 --> 00:08:38.259 also include Germany and other nations from the 00:08:38.259 --> 00:08:41.620 former Soviet bloc. As we observe world events, 00:08:41.919 --> 00:08:44.700 we should keep these nations in mind because 00:08:44.700 --> 00:08:47.779 it is the war of Gog and Magog that will be a 00:08:47.779 --> 00:08:52.259 sign of the end times. For example, with recent 00:08:52.259 --> 00:08:55.440 events of the Israel -Iran war, we've learned 00:08:55.440 --> 00:08:58.379 many of Iran's leaders are fleeing to Russia. 00:08:59.120 --> 00:09:03.840 Why? Because in January 2025, Russia and Iran 00:09:03.840 --> 00:09:07.620 signed a 20 -year strategic partnership agreement. 00:09:08.440 --> 00:09:11.500 Apparently, Russia has always supported Iran's 00:09:11.500 --> 00:09:15.440 right to what Putin calls peaceful nuclear energy. 00:09:15.690 --> 00:09:19.309 And Iran has provided Russia with drones used 00:09:19.309 --> 00:09:22.490 in the war with Ukraine. Russia has condemned 00:09:22.490 --> 00:09:26.149 Israel's actions against Iran. However, instead 00:09:26.149 --> 00:09:30.029 of offering to back Iran militarily, Russia has 00:09:30.029 --> 00:09:33.809 offered to mediate between Iran and Israel. Does 00:09:33.809 --> 00:09:36.370 it sound to you like Russia could be a fair mediator? 00:09:36.720 --> 00:09:40.179 Also, consider President Erdogan of Turkey. He 00:09:40.179 --> 00:09:42.340 has offered to help in the area of diplomatic 00:09:42.340 --> 00:09:45.419 efforts and mediation, while at the same time 00:09:45.419 --> 00:09:48.480 strongly condemning Israel's strikes on Iran, 00:09:48.779 --> 00:09:52.120 labeling them as unlawful and provocative and 00:09:52.120 --> 00:09:56.200 a threat to regional stability. Erdogan has suggested 00:09:56.200 --> 00:09:59.220 Israel's actions were intended to undermine nuclear 00:09:59.220 --> 00:10:01.720 negotiations and distract from the humanitarian 00:10:01.720 --> 00:10:06.350 crisis in Gaza. Additionally, Erdogan has maintained 00:10:06.350 --> 00:10:09.870 support for Hamas. Two weeks ago, along with 00:10:09.870 --> 00:10:14.370 Saudi, Turkey backed Iran with a huge war warning. 00:10:14.929 --> 00:10:17.549 And six days ago, Turkey claimed ready to hit 00:10:17.549 --> 00:10:22.389 Israel after the United States bombed Iran. From 00:10:22.389 --> 00:10:25.730 my perspective, Erdogan is questionable as one 00:10:25.730 --> 00:10:28.870 who could help mediate for de -escalation in 00:10:28.870 --> 00:10:33.799 the Middle East. We also know Russia, Iran, Egypt, 00:10:34.120 --> 00:10:37.779 and the United Arab Emirates and China are some 00:10:37.779 --> 00:10:40.740 that are part of the BRICS nations, aligned as 00:10:40.740 --> 00:10:43.700 emerging markets with a plan to build a competing 00:10:43.700 --> 00:10:47.539 multipolar world order that uses global south 00:10:47.539 --> 00:10:50.539 countries to challenge and compete against the 00:10:50.539 --> 00:10:55.669 western dominated world order. In 2024, 13 additional 00:10:55.669 --> 00:10:59.690 countries, including Turkey, Uzbekistan, and 00:10:59.690 --> 00:11:02.809 Kazakhstan, were invited to participate as partner 00:11:02.809 --> 00:11:05.190 countries. It's unclear whether the countries 00:11:05.190 --> 00:11:08.250 in this tier have yet received official membership 00:11:08.250 --> 00:11:11.230 invitations, but considering prophecies of the 00:11:11.230 --> 00:11:15.169 world's future, it is entirely curious. Has what 00:11:15.169 --> 00:11:19.049 we've witnessed since October 7, 2023, been the 00:11:19.049 --> 00:11:22.570 War of Gog and Magog? No, because there are other 00:11:22.570 --> 00:11:24.649 prophesied events that must be fulfilled ahead 00:11:24.649 --> 00:11:26.950 of this war that still have not been fulfilled. 00:11:27.330 --> 00:11:30.230 However, I strongly believe that what we have 00:11:30.230 --> 00:11:33.250 experienced with the Israel -Iran war has been 00:11:33.250 --> 00:11:36.429 a precursor that is setting the stage for the 00:11:36.429 --> 00:11:40.409 battle of Gog and Magog. While the origin of 00:11:40.409 --> 00:11:43.269 the entire spiritual battle began in the Garden 00:11:43.269 --> 00:11:46.990 of Eden, the life and offspring of Abram, whose 00:11:46.990 --> 00:11:50.450 name was changed to Abraham, is central to the 00:11:50.450 --> 00:11:52.889 intense spiritual conflict in the Middle East 00:11:52.889 --> 00:11:56.549 to this day. For continuity let me provide some 00:11:56.549 --> 00:11:58.929 background. You may be familiar with it, but 00:11:58.929 --> 00:12:03.389 bear me out. The Bible reveals God called Abram 00:12:03.389 --> 00:12:06.070 to be the father of many nations through the 00:12:06.070 --> 00:12:09.830 son he and his wife Sarai would have. God made 00:12:09.830 --> 00:12:12.470 this promise to Abram when he was 75 years and 00:12:12.470 --> 00:12:17.070 his wife was 65 years. And God made this promise 00:12:17.070 --> 00:12:19.750 knowing they had been barren all their married 00:12:19.750 --> 00:12:23.870 life. Even so, God says this promised son would 00:12:23.870 --> 00:12:26.769 be made into a great nation according to Genesis 00:12:26.769 --> 00:12:30.049 chapter 12 verses 1 to 4. With this covenant, 00:12:30.269 --> 00:12:33.990 God soon changed Abram's name to Abraham and 00:12:33.990 --> 00:12:36.730 promised that all descendants through this son 00:12:36.730 --> 00:12:41.230 would inherit the land God would give them. Several 00:12:41.230 --> 00:12:43.889 years went by and Sarai, whose name was changed 00:12:43.889 --> 00:12:47.649 to Sarah, had still not conceived. So Sarah decided 00:12:47.649 --> 00:12:51.029 Abraham should conceive a child from her Egyptian 00:12:51.029 --> 00:12:54.789 maidservant Hagar. It so happened that at age 00:12:54.789 --> 00:12:58.899 86, Abraham had a son by Hagar whom God told 00:12:58.899 --> 00:13:02.299 them to name Ishmael. God said Ishmael would 00:13:02.299 --> 00:13:05.980 be a wild donkey of a man, his hand against everyone 00:13:05.980 --> 00:13:09.220 and everyone's hand against him, and he would 00:13:09.220 --> 00:13:12.679 dwell over against all of his kinsmen. But God 00:13:12.679 --> 00:13:16.000 made clear Ishmael was not the son of promise. 00:13:16.559 --> 00:13:19.559 That son was to come from the union of Sarah 00:13:19.559 --> 00:13:24.200 and Abraham. It followed When Sarah was 89 and 00:13:24.200 --> 00:13:28.059 Abraham was 99, they indeed had a son whom God 00:13:28.059 --> 00:13:31.580 instructed them to name Isaac. Ultimately, Isaac 00:13:31.580 --> 00:13:34.419 had a grandson who was originally named Jacob, 00:13:34.840 --> 00:13:38.019 whose name was changed to Israel. This is the 00:13:38.019 --> 00:13:41.600 beginning of the lineage of Abraham, one through 00:13:41.600 --> 00:13:45.299 Ishmael with his specific promises and one through 00:13:45.299 --> 00:13:50.559 Isaac with his specific promises. Jews trace 00:13:50.559 --> 00:13:52.919 their lineage through Abraham, son of Isaac, 00:13:53.179 --> 00:13:56.580 and his grandson Jacob, later named Israel, who 00:13:56.580 --> 00:13:59.820 fathered the twelve tribes of Israel. Arabs, 00:14:00.019 --> 00:14:02.879 particularly those with Islamic tradition, trace 00:14:02.879 --> 00:14:05.740 their lineage through Abraham's son Ishmael, 00:14:06.000 --> 00:14:09.460 whose mother was Hagar, an Egyptian. Both Arabs 00:14:09.460 --> 00:14:13.000 and Israelites trace their lineage back to Abraham. 00:14:13.399 --> 00:14:16.899 Now, I share all this to point out the significance 00:14:16.899 --> 00:14:19.740 of what has become known as the Abrahamic Accords, 00:14:20.159 --> 00:14:22.460 where diverse nations of the Middle East seem 00:14:22.460 --> 00:14:26.559 to be agreeing to peace. The Abrahamic Accords, 00:14:26.759 --> 00:14:30.480 first signed on September 15, 2020, are a series 00:14:30.480 --> 00:14:33.559 of normalization agreements aimed at improving 00:14:33.559 --> 00:14:36.480 relations between Israel, the United States, 00:14:36.759 --> 00:14:39.960 and several Arab nations. These agreements brokered 00:14:39.960 --> 00:14:42.379 by the United States led to the establishment 00:14:42.379 --> 00:14:45.120 of diplomatic ties and increased cooperation 00:14:45.120 --> 00:14:48.980 in various sectors. The primary focus is on fostering 00:14:48.980 --> 00:14:52.350 peace, stability, and economic prosperity in 00:14:52.350 --> 00:14:55.570 the Middle East. The accords were the first instance 00:14:55.570 --> 00:14:59.710 of Arab -Israeli normalization since the 1994 00:14:59.710 --> 00:15:04.389 peace treaty with Jordan. With the June 24, 2025 00:15:04.389 --> 00:15:07.649 ceasefire announcement for the Israel -Iran 12 00:15:07.649 --> 00:15:10.509 -day war, which was in reality an extension of 00:15:10.509 --> 00:15:12.889 the war established by Hamas and their attack 00:15:12.889 --> 00:15:17.210 on Israel on October 7, 2023, hope was this would 00:15:17.210 --> 00:15:20.029 be the end to the conflict. While the ceasefire 00:15:20.029 --> 00:15:22.909 officially started on June 24, there were claims 00:15:22.909 --> 00:15:25.990 of violations and continued strikes in the initial 00:15:25.990 --> 00:15:28.830 hours. Additionally, based on reports from Amir 00:15:28.830 --> 00:15:31.769 Sarfati with his Telegram account, we can learn 00:15:31.769 --> 00:15:34.889 of considerably more ceasefire violations to 00:15:34.889 --> 00:15:39.049 this day. There have been many evidences of defiance 00:15:39.049 --> 00:15:44.350 from Iran, including their June 27, 2025 emphatic 00:15:44.350 --> 00:15:48.139 announcement Iran had halted its cooperation 00:15:48.139 --> 00:15:51.559 with the United Nations International Atomic 00:15:51.559 --> 00:15:55.539 Energy Agency. Despite this, people in the Middle 00:15:55.539 --> 00:15:57.740 East and all over the world for that matter are 00:15:57.740 --> 00:16:00.639 hopeful for the prospect of peace with the question 00:16:00.639 --> 00:16:03.340 remaining whether or not the people of Iran will 00:16:03.340 --> 00:16:06.039 demand a regime change from the strict Islamic 00:16:06.039 --> 00:16:10.259 Republic of Iran established in 1979 to a government 00:16:10.259 --> 00:16:14.340 for and by the people. Polling data from late 00:16:14.340 --> 00:16:18.259 2024 indicates a majority of Iranians favor the 00:16:18.259 --> 00:16:20.899 normalization of relations with the United States. 00:16:21.360 --> 00:16:24.000 A vast majority of Iranians see their country's 00:16:24.000 --> 00:16:27.139 foreign policy, especially its support for regional 00:16:27.139 --> 00:16:30.259 proxies and military presence in the Middle East, 00:16:30.639 --> 00:16:33.200 as contributing to domestic economic problems. 00:16:33.870 --> 00:16:37.370 I would say we're seeing cautious hope amidst 00:16:37.370 --> 00:16:40.190 regional tensions. Following the ceasefire between 00:16:40.190 --> 00:16:43.990 Iran and Israel in June 2025, Iranians have been 00:16:43.990 --> 00:16:47.590 returning to Tehran, feeling relief but also 00:16:47.590 --> 00:16:50.110 uncertainty about the future, suggesting a desire 00:16:50.110 --> 00:16:53.309 for stability and a return to normal life. Some 00:16:53.309 --> 00:16:56.490 analysts suggest that the recent momentum in 00:16:56.490 --> 00:16:59.980 Iranian civil society amidst the threat of External 00:16:59.980 --> 00:17:03.580 aggression offers hope for gradual reform if 00:17:03.580 --> 00:17:06.839 war can be averted. And, Gulf and other regional 00:17:06.839 --> 00:17:09.500 leaders are hoping for an agreement between Washington 00:17:09.500 --> 00:17:12.900 and Tehran that would prevent major warfare indicating 00:17:12.900 --> 00:17:17.359 a shared desire for regional stability. However, 00:17:17.539 --> 00:17:21.180 it's important to note Polling also reveals contradictory 00:17:21.180 --> 00:17:23.960 opinions with a majority of Iranians supporting 00:17:23.960 --> 00:17:26.880 Iran's military presence in the Middle East and 00:17:26.880 --> 00:17:30.019 viewing it as making them safer at home. This 00:17:30.019 --> 00:17:32.839 suggests a complex public sentiment regarding 00:17:32.839 --> 00:17:35.799 the relationship between national security and 00:17:35.799 --> 00:17:38.869 diplomatic effects. And the Iranian government 00:17:38.869 --> 00:17:42.349 has been accused of suppressing dissent and interfering 00:17:42.349 --> 00:17:45.750 with civil society activities, even arresting 00:17:45.750 --> 00:17:48.549 and jailing those who express opposition to the 00:17:48.549 --> 00:17:50.930 government. This means that public opinion may 00:17:50.930 --> 00:17:54.289 be challenging to assess and express freely. 00:17:54.970 --> 00:17:57.309 And the recent conflict between Iran and Israel 00:17:57.309 --> 00:18:00.490 and ongoing regional tensions likely influence 00:18:00.490 --> 00:18:04.230 public sentiment and perceptions of peace and 00:18:04.230 --> 00:18:08.099 security. Normalization remains a major focus 00:18:08.099 --> 00:18:10.539 in Israel, especially after Trump prompted his 00:18:10.539 --> 00:18:14.000 role in brokering a ceasefire between Iran and 00:18:14.000 --> 00:18:17.400 Israel during a recent NATO summit, highlighting 00:18:17.400 --> 00:18:20.059 the ceasefire as a step toward longer -term ties 00:18:20.059 --> 00:18:22.720 between Israel, Iran, and neighboring states. 00:18:23.160 --> 00:18:25.720 It's good to also note President Trump was greatly 00:18:25.720 --> 00:18:28.339 recognized at the NATO summit for the United 00:18:28.339 --> 00:18:31.819 States part of obliterating Iran's nuclear weapons 00:18:31.819 --> 00:18:35.869 capabilities. Regardless how volatile world events 00:18:35.869 --> 00:18:38.509 appear, God has repeatedly told us through His 00:18:38.509 --> 00:18:41.029 prophets that we are not to react to what we 00:18:41.029 --> 00:18:43.950 see, but to maintain faith in who God is and 00:18:43.950 --> 00:18:47.859 what He promises. So, let me help you be encouraged 00:18:47.859 --> 00:18:50.740 by sharing what God said through Dutch Sheets 00:18:50.740 --> 00:18:54.119 recently published, citing the theme of peace 00:18:54.119 --> 00:18:56.980 through strength and providing his response to 00:18:56.980 --> 00:18:59.799 the strike on Iran. Dutch wrote, and I quote, 00:19:00.380 --> 00:19:03.259 Trump gave the leaders of Iran over two months 00:19:03.259 --> 00:19:06.619 to come to the table and agreed to give up development 00:19:06.619 --> 00:19:09.269 of their nuclear weapons. He practically begged 00:19:09.269 --> 00:19:11.829 them to do so, warning that one way or another 00:19:11.829 --> 00:19:14.589 they would not be allowed to have nuclear weapons. 00:19:15.089 --> 00:19:17.809 It was obvious he did not want to do this strike. 00:19:18.390 --> 00:19:21.890 But President Trump is strong, decisive, fearless, 00:19:22.430 --> 00:19:25.269 and resolute. When he says something, he means 00:19:25.269 --> 00:19:28.990 it. He did not create the problem. Former presidents 00:19:28.990 --> 00:19:32.190 Obama, Biden, and other leaders allowed it to 00:19:32.190 --> 00:19:35.369 evolve, even giving Iran billions of dollars, 00:19:35.589 --> 00:19:38.630 which was no doubt used to produce this nuclear 00:19:38.630 --> 00:19:42.450 program. However, President Trump, his team, 00:19:42.630 --> 00:19:45.930 and Israel knew that with Iran only weeks away 00:19:45.930 --> 00:19:49.829 from the bomb, they had to take action. Trump 00:19:49.829 --> 00:19:53.089 and his team have reiterated over and over that 00:19:53.089 --> 00:19:57.380 we are not at war with Iran and its people. we 00:19:57.380 --> 00:20:01.240 are at war with terrorism led by the ayatollah 00:20:01.240 --> 00:20:04.339 and his radicals in the iranian revolutionary 00:20:04.339 --> 00:20:08.680 guard and their proxies iran has played the world 00:20:08.680 --> 00:20:12.160 for over 40 years hiding behind diplomacy while 00:20:12.160 --> 00:20:15.319 implementing death and destruction chanting death 00:20:15.319 --> 00:20:19.119 to america and promising to annihilate israel 00:20:19.119 --> 00:20:21.700 they have backed up this rhetoric with hundreds 00:20:21.700 --> 00:20:24.720 of terrorist attacks through the years generating 00:20:24.720 --> 00:20:28.759 thousands of deaths torture, rape, and other 00:20:28.759 --> 00:20:32.740 acts of terror. What happens now? Will the Iranian 00:20:32.740 --> 00:20:36.000 government stop its efforts to oppress its people 00:20:36.000 --> 00:20:38.779 and terrorize the region? I don't think they 00:20:38.779 --> 00:20:42.519 will do so willingly. This will have to be accomplished 00:20:42.519 --> 00:20:45.720 another way. The leaders are so controlled by 00:20:45.720 --> 00:20:48.619 demonic entities and hate -filled ideologies 00:20:48.619 --> 00:20:51.039 that they would rather die than give up their 00:20:51.039 --> 00:20:54.079 cause. Perhaps the Iranian people themselves 00:20:54.079 --> 00:20:58.109 will rise up. overthrow the regime. I have actually 00:20:58.109 --> 00:21:00.809 been prophesying for many years that in the coming 00:21:00.809 --> 00:21:04.069 revival regions of the world that have been under 00:21:04.069 --> 00:21:06.250 the control of the demonic principalities for 00:21:06.250 --> 00:21:08.849 millennia would be delivered from this control 00:21:08.849 --> 00:21:12.349 and experience a great revival. We are entering 00:21:12.349 --> 00:21:15.549 this time and what is happening in Iran is part 00:21:15.549 --> 00:21:18.779 of this process. God loves the people of Iran 00:21:18.779 --> 00:21:21.940 as he does all people, and millions of them will 00:21:21.940 --> 00:21:25.359 come to Christ. We must now be very vigilant 00:21:25.359 --> 00:21:28.700 to pray against retaliation in the form of terrorist 00:21:28.700 --> 00:21:31.319 sleeper cells here in America and elsewhere. 00:21:32.039 --> 00:21:34.640 Only the Lord knows how many of the two million 00:21:34.640 --> 00:21:37.700 gotaways that crossed America's open borders 00:21:37.700 --> 00:21:41.460 under the Biden presidency were terrorists." 00:21:43.490 --> 00:21:46.170 Now, hear what God said through Barry Wunsch 00:21:46.170 --> 00:21:49.349 about President Donald Trump in a prophecy he 00:21:49.349 --> 00:21:53.170 titled, North America the Great, all eyes are 00:21:53.170 --> 00:21:57.490 on you. Quote, Donald Trump had to make a very 00:21:57.490 --> 00:22:00.470 hard decision and he made it with me and those 00:22:00.470 --> 00:22:04.089 I placed around him. Rest assured they did what 00:22:04.089 --> 00:22:07.519 they had to do. Do not forget that I've called 00:22:07.519 --> 00:22:10.480 him for such a time as this. It would have been 00:22:10.480 --> 00:22:13.839 my desire to go about this another way, but when 00:22:13.839 --> 00:22:16.819 men harden their hearts and give themselves over 00:22:16.819 --> 00:22:19.940 to the evil powers and principalities with intentions 00:22:19.940 --> 00:22:23.599 to bring destruction to mankind, they must be 00:22:23.599 --> 00:22:27.000 stopped. The head of the snake had to be cut 00:22:27.000 --> 00:22:30.119 off, and there is not an easier way to do it. 00:22:30.250 --> 00:22:34.029 Many lives have been saved. So many more would 00:22:34.029 --> 00:22:36.890 have been lost had this evil regime not been 00:22:36.890 --> 00:22:40.150 dealt with. For I am liberating the Iranian people 00:22:40.150 --> 00:22:43.630 from an evil regime. Make no mistake about it. 00:22:43.950 --> 00:22:46.069 And the ripple effect will be felt throughout 00:22:46.069 --> 00:22:48.970 the nations. There are still some things to be 00:22:48.970 --> 00:22:51.130 done for there are tentacles of this evil regime 00:22:51.130 --> 00:22:53.930 throughout the nations that are pawns of the 00:22:53.930 --> 00:22:57.410 enemy looking to bring mass destruction and chaos 00:22:57.410 --> 00:23:01.460 to the nations. They think they are so clever, 00:23:01.880 --> 00:23:04.680 but I know their every move and intention, and 00:23:04.680 --> 00:23:07.559 I've put the best of the best in places of authority 00:23:07.559 --> 00:23:10.980 to do what needs to be done, to put a stop to 00:23:10.980 --> 00:23:15.359 these actions." Then Barry shared what God revealed 00:23:15.359 --> 00:23:18.500 about Kim Jong -un of North Korea, and again 00:23:18.500 --> 00:23:22.809 I quote, Tell my people to keep a watch on North 00:23:22.809 --> 00:23:25.430 Korea as we have just cut the head of the snake 00:23:25.430 --> 00:23:28.890 off of Iran and as we clean up terrorist militant 00:23:28.890 --> 00:23:31.650 Islam's in your land. There's another threat 00:23:31.650 --> 00:23:34.250 to be dealt with. This threat is greater than 00:23:34.250 --> 00:23:36.769 the first for most have forgotten about it but 00:23:36.769 --> 00:23:40.130 I certainly have not. The threat is known as 00:23:40.130 --> 00:23:44.829 Rocket Man. The wild card. Kim Jong -un. He is 00:23:44.829 --> 00:23:48.119 unstable in all of his ways. and he has evil 00:23:48.119 --> 00:23:51.319 intentions to attack North America, President 00:23:51.319 --> 00:23:55.359 Trump, and America the Beautiful. Let it be known, 00:23:55.599 --> 00:23:58.660 powers of alliances are shifting. Whenever there 00:23:58.660 --> 00:24:01.599 is a void, there are those vying for position. 00:24:02.160 --> 00:24:04.279 Let me tell you, this is no different. There 00:24:04.279 --> 00:24:07.359 are evil regimes with stronger, brighter leaders 00:24:07.359 --> 00:24:11.400 looking to use Rocketman as a pawn to do their 00:24:11.400 --> 00:24:14.269 dirty work. They're simply playing on his pride 00:24:14.269 --> 00:24:17.230 and ego, and in the end this will lead to their 00:24:17.230 --> 00:24:21.089 defeat. He is unstable, with a thirst for power. 00:24:21.549 --> 00:24:24.470 He has made himself a god in his own eyes, and 00:24:24.470 --> 00:24:27.170 he is not nearly as powerful as he would want 00:24:27.170 --> 00:24:30.769 you to believe. He is a boy in a man's body, 00:24:31.289 --> 00:24:35.319 selfish with something to prove. Barry tell my 00:24:35.319 --> 00:24:37.960 people to pray like there's no tomorrow for the 00:24:37.960 --> 00:24:41.180 enemy has assets in place to bring great harm 00:24:41.180 --> 00:24:44.839 upon America and North American soil Tell my 00:24:44.839 --> 00:24:48.480 people they have a role to play and just as actions 00:24:48.480 --> 00:24:51.819 were taken in Iran There will be actions required 00:24:51.819 --> 00:24:55.740 to be taken in North Korea There are things in 00:24:55.740 --> 00:24:58.920 high places that must come down. They must be 00:24:58.920 --> 00:25:01.819 taken out of harm's way They must be removed 00:25:01.819 --> 00:25:04.859 from a child's hand so he doesn't hurt himself 00:25:04.859 --> 00:25:08.980 or others. So let me be clear. I have called 00:25:08.980 --> 00:25:12.019 and appointed President Trump to deal with this 00:25:12.019 --> 00:25:16.099 as well, and so he will. As I lead him down this 00:25:16.099 --> 00:25:19.339 path, I put the best around him to get this done 00:25:19.339 --> 00:25:22.460 and to save many more lives and to lay a bigger 00:25:22.460 --> 00:25:25.700 foundation for peace and prepare the way for 00:25:25.700 --> 00:25:29.650 the Golden Age. So let me say again until you 00:25:29.650 --> 00:25:33.289 this day do not fear do not be afraid for I am 00:25:33.289 --> 00:25:36.930 with you and it's time To go to these hard places 00:25:36.930 --> 00:25:40.109 to get these things out of the way to bring things 00:25:40.109 --> 00:25:44.869 back into order You've been praying fasting Seeking 00:25:44.869 --> 00:25:48.269 my face and my hand and I've heard your prayers 00:25:48.269 --> 00:25:51.230 and I've seen every tear and the anguish that 00:25:51.230 --> 00:25:54.759 you've carried you've touched my heart and you've 00:25:54.759 --> 00:25:57.720 moved me so be assured today that you're not 00:25:57.720 --> 00:26:02.259 alone I am with you and I am for you bringing 00:26:02.259 --> 00:26:05.079 all that you need into play for the victory that 00:26:05.079 --> 00:26:09.980 is at hand and holy is the word of the Lord." 00:26:09.980 --> 00:26:14.240 End quote. Notice how God clearly said there 00:26:14.240 --> 00:26:16.839 are still more things to be done for there are 00:26:16.839 --> 00:26:19.859 tentacles of this evil regime throughout the 00:26:19.859 --> 00:26:23.349 nations. how important it is that we, as Barry 00:26:23.349 --> 00:26:27.910 said, weaponize our intercessory prayers. Keeping 00:26:27.910 --> 00:26:29.930 with the praise of President Trump for his U 00:26:29.930 --> 00:26:32.289 .S. efforts to stop Iran from having the nuclear 00:26:32.289 --> 00:26:36.599 bomb, Oleksiy Goncharenko of Ukraine Parliament 00:26:36.599 --> 00:26:38.940 stood and expressed his gratitude before the 00:26:38.940 --> 00:26:41.559 European Parliament beautifully, knowing that 00:26:41.559 --> 00:26:43.640 he was expressing what many people from countries 00:26:43.640 --> 00:26:46.220 around the world feel. I had to provide you the 00:26:46.220 --> 00:26:48.519 link in the show notes. If you haven't heard 00:26:48.519 --> 00:26:50.819 it, please make a point of listening to what 00:26:50.819 --> 00:26:54.049 this man had to say. Julie Green prophetically 00:26:54.049 --> 00:26:58.089 shared on June 30th, 2025, and I quote, my children 00:26:58.089 --> 00:27:01.529 in the land of the eagle, things are escalating 00:27:01.529 --> 00:27:04.329 behind the scenes. More and more of your enemies 00:27:04.329 --> 00:27:08.089 are being taken out, dismantled and arrested. 00:27:08.390 --> 00:27:11.150 You are not seeing all the justice that is taking 00:27:11.150 --> 00:27:14.410 place right now, but you soon will. More arrests 00:27:14.410 --> 00:27:17.369 are being made. More of your enemies are walking 00:27:17.369 --> 00:27:20.349 into traps where they can't lie their way out. 00:27:20.509 --> 00:27:24.150 The old guard is in a state of disarray and panic. 00:27:24.670 --> 00:27:27.549 The Iran situation is about to blow up against 00:27:27.549 --> 00:27:31.049 the establishment. They paid for attacks against 00:27:31.049 --> 00:27:34.990 Israel. They paid Iran for attacks and terrorist 00:27:34.990 --> 00:27:39.309 plots and plans against the United States. Iran 00:27:39.309 --> 00:27:42.009 will not only fall, but the establishment is 00:27:42.009 --> 00:27:44.849 about to pay a high price for paying the enemies 00:27:44.849 --> 00:27:47.829 of my nations for trying to destroy them both 00:27:47.829 --> 00:27:53.180 at once. cells are in your nation and their assignments 00:27:53.180 --> 00:27:57.519 moving forward will be stopped by my hand. Judgment 00:27:57.519 --> 00:28:00.839 will hit Iran and all militia in both my nations 00:28:00.839 --> 00:28:05.559 are ready to attack." There's so much more on 00:28:05.559 --> 00:28:07.160 this word that you'll want to hear so be sure 00:28:07.160 --> 00:28:10.339 to use the link in the show notes. Even though 00:28:10.339 --> 00:28:13.039 what God has to say is very encouraging, we must 00:28:13.039 --> 00:28:16.240 also remain vigilant in prayer. I'm certain that 00:28:16.240 --> 00:28:18.559 what we are about to see will be very difficult 00:28:18.559 --> 00:28:21.839 to see, so we need to remain close to God, trusting 00:28:21.839 --> 00:28:26.480 Him for the outcome. Then here's a report of 00:28:26.480 --> 00:28:29.240 God's justice and reconciliation occurring that 00:28:29.240 --> 00:28:32.380 you likely didn't hear about. President Trump 00:28:32.380 --> 00:28:35.980 ends Syria sanctions in a bold Middle East pivot. 00:28:36.359 --> 00:28:39.660 The article reads, quote, President Trump signed 00:28:39.660 --> 00:28:44.259 an executive order on June 30, 2025, ending most 00:28:44.259 --> 00:28:47.500 United States sanctions on Syria to support its 00:28:47.500 --> 00:28:50.779 economic recovery and back the new leadership 00:28:50.779 --> 00:28:55.220 of President Ahmed al -Sharah after overthrowing 00:28:55.220 --> 00:28:59.339 Bashar al -Assad. Sanctions tied to Assad, human 00:28:59.339 --> 00:29:02.920 rights abusers, ISIS, al -Qaeda affiliates, and 00:29:02.920 --> 00:29:06.289 Iranian proxies remain in place. The administration 00:29:06.289 --> 00:29:09.890 argues this move will reconnect Syria to global 00:29:09.890 --> 00:29:12.349 markets and encourage reconstruction efforts 00:29:12.349 --> 00:29:16.009 under Shirara's government. Officials also see 00:29:16.009 --> 00:29:18.890 this as a precursor to broader normalization, 00:29:19.170 --> 00:29:22.009 possibly including Syria's entry to the Abraham 00:29:22.009 --> 00:29:26.309 Accord framework. End quote. And then, before 00:29:26.309 --> 00:29:28.849 I close us in prayer, I want to encourage you 00:29:28.849 --> 00:29:31.809 further with a list of achievements President 00:29:31.809 --> 00:29:34.309 Trump has accomplished under God's direction 00:29:34.309 --> 00:29:37.869 just this past week that Dutch Sheets compiled 00:29:37.869 --> 00:29:42.609 and posted July 1st, 2025. And I have the recording 00:29:42.609 --> 00:29:56.029 in his words. experienced one of the most phenomenal 00:29:56.029 --> 00:29:59.450 weeks of notable successes in presidential history, 00:29:59.970 --> 00:30:02.829 spanning the realms of national security, legal 00:30:02.829 --> 00:30:06.569 rulings, diplomatic negotiations, and international 00:30:06.569 --> 00:30:10.930 peace efforts. These developments advanced his 00:30:10.930 --> 00:30:14.690 administration's priorities, reinforced American 00:30:14.690 --> 00:30:18.430 strength globally, and secured domestic, legal, 00:30:18.529 --> 00:30:22.900 and social victories. Number one. military strike 00:30:22.900 --> 00:30:25.660 in Iran and disruption of nuclear capabilities. 00:30:26.480 --> 00:30:29.200 One of the most significant actions was the targeted 00:30:29.200 --> 00:30:33.079 military operation against Iran's nuclear facilities. 00:30:33.819 --> 00:30:36.799 This strike was meticulously planned and executed 00:30:36.799 --> 00:30:40.900 with the aim of deterring Iran's nuclear ambitions 00:30:40.900 --> 00:30:43.819 and preventing the development of nuclear weapons, 00:30:44.180 --> 00:30:48.380 thereby enhancing regional and global security. 00:30:48.940 --> 00:30:52.359 It has been called by many the greatest single 00:30:52.359 --> 00:30:56.180 military strike in history. Sources indicate 00:30:56.180 --> 00:30:59.819 that the operation successfully destroyed Iran's 00:30:59.819 --> 00:31:03.599 key nuclear infrastructure, including underground 00:31:03.599 --> 00:31:07.720 centrifuge facilities and research centers. The 00:31:07.720 --> 00:31:10.779 strike was carried out with precision, minimizing 00:31:10.779 --> 00:31:14.579 civilian casualties and avoiding escalation into 00:31:14.579 --> 00:31:18.880 broader conflict. The strategic timing and execution 00:31:18.880 --> 00:31:22.619 underscore the Trump administration's commitment 00:31:22.619 --> 00:31:26.400 to a firm posture against Iran's nuclear program, 00:31:26.940 --> 00:31:29.900 consistent with long -standing policies to prevent 00:31:29.900 --> 00:31:34.619 Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. This action 00:31:34.619 --> 00:31:38.079 sent a clear message to Iran and the international 00:31:38.079 --> 00:31:41.079 community about the United States' and Israel's 00:31:41.079 --> 00:31:45.309 resolve to stop Iran's nuclear ambitions. It 00:31:45.309 --> 00:31:48.890 also signals a shift from diplomatic negotiations 00:31:48.890 --> 00:31:52.329 only to a more assertive military stance when 00:31:52.329 --> 00:31:56.490 necessary, emphasizing deterrence and the protection 00:31:56.490 --> 00:31:59.609 of American interests and allies in the Middle 00:31:59.609 --> 00:32:02.910 East. The Middle East is very different, and 00:32:02.910 --> 00:32:06.450 the world is now a safer place because of the 00:32:06.450 --> 00:32:10.829 President's actions. Secondly, NATO commitments. 00:32:11.450 --> 00:32:14.049 Another key development is the renewed commitment 00:32:14.049 --> 00:32:17.930 from NATO allies to support and strengthen collective 00:32:17.930 --> 00:32:21.789 defense and security measures. During recent 00:32:21.789 --> 00:32:25.430 diplomatic engagements, several NATO member countries 00:32:25.430 --> 00:32:28.789 reaffirmed their commitments to meet or exceed 00:32:28.789 --> 00:32:32.329 the Alliance's defense spending targets, reflecting 00:32:32.329 --> 00:32:34.990 a more united front in facing global threats. 00:32:35.609 --> 00:32:39.769 For decades, America has carried the lion's share 00:32:39.769 --> 00:32:43.960 of the load. by far. But President Trump's leadership 00:32:43.960 --> 00:32:46.859 has been instrumental in pressing NATO allies 00:32:46.859 --> 00:32:50.759 to increase their contributions. These commitments 00:32:50.759 --> 00:32:54.640 include increased troop deployments, enhanced 00:32:54.640 --> 00:32:58.099 military cooperation, and shared intelligence 00:32:58.099 --> 00:33:01.900 initiatives. The strengthening of NATO's operational 00:33:01.900 --> 00:33:05.359 readiness and strategic coordination is, without 00:33:05.359 --> 00:33:10.339 question, a result of Trump's leadership. These 00:33:10.339 --> 00:33:13.500 renewed commitments are seen as vital to counterbalance 00:33:13.500 --> 00:33:16.180 adversarial nations, including Russia and China, 00:33:16.640 --> 00:33:19.259 and to maintain stability in Europe and beyond. 00:33:20.140 --> 00:33:24.039 The Alliance's increased cohesion is viewed as 00:33:24.039 --> 00:33:27.660 a diplomatic success for the Trump administration's 00:33:27.660 --> 00:33:30.880 foreign policy approach. And the third great 00:33:30.880 --> 00:33:34.720 victory, Supreme Court victories. We have been 00:33:34.720 --> 00:33:37.660 praying for a shift in the judicial system of 00:33:37.660 --> 00:33:40.849 America. and it seems our prayers are being answered. 00:33:42.230 --> 00:33:44.349 President Trump's administration has secured 00:33:44.349 --> 00:33:47.490 significant victories at the Supreme Court, particularly 00:33:47.490 --> 00:33:51.029 in cases involving limits on district judges' 00:33:51.170 --> 00:33:55.930 power. One absolutely crucial case bolstered 00:33:55.930 --> 00:33:58.690 the administration's efforts to limit the authority 00:33:58.690 --> 00:34:01.549 of district judges in certain federal cases, 00:34:01.829 --> 00:34:05.509 reinforcing the executive branch's capacity to 00:34:05.509 --> 00:34:09.409 implement policies without unconstitutional judicial 00:34:09.409 --> 00:34:14.010 interference. This decision is seen as a crucial 00:34:14.010 --> 00:34:17.110 step in restoring balance among the branches 00:34:17.110 --> 00:34:20.670 of government, ensuring that executive actions 00:34:20.670 --> 00:34:24.829 are not unduly impeded by lower court rulings. 00:34:25.429 --> 00:34:28.030 And the dissent from the liberals on the court 00:34:28.030 --> 00:34:31.090 was a stark demonstration of their disregard 00:34:31.090 --> 00:34:33.690 for the Constitution in order to promote their 00:34:33.690 --> 00:34:39.429 own ideologies. Justice Barrett's refutation 00:34:39.429 --> 00:34:43.889 of Justice Jackson's rambling dissent has been 00:34:43.889 --> 00:34:48.750 described as eviscerating. Barrett said she, 00:34:48.889 --> 00:34:51.750 speaking of Jackson, offers a vision of the judicial 00:34:51.750 --> 00:34:54.289 role that would make even the most ardent defender 00:34:54.289 --> 00:34:59.750 of judicial supremacy blush. Indeed. Additionally, 00:35:00.210 --> 00:35:02.789 the court issued a landmark ruling affirming 00:35:02.789 --> 00:35:06.409 parental rights in Maryland. strengthening protection 00:35:06.409 --> 00:35:10.469 for parents in educational and family law matters. 00:35:11.409 --> 00:35:14.809 The decision affirms parental authority in making 00:35:14.809 --> 00:35:18.969 educational choices for their children. Duh. 00:35:19.590 --> 00:35:22.590 And limits ridiculous, and I might add very evil, 00:35:23.070 --> 00:35:26.829 overreach by local government authorities. This 00:35:26.829 --> 00:35:29.710 out -of -control school district's contention 00:35:29.710 --> 00:35:32.769 that they could teach grade school children perverted 00:35:32.769 --> 00:35:36.429 sexual actions and ideologies, and that parents 00:35:36.429 --> 00:35:39.989 could do nothing to stop this evil activity is 00:35:39.989 --> 00:35:43.670 abhorrent. The ruling was a tremendous victory 00:35:43.670 --> 00:35:47.190 for family, sovereignty, and individual rights, 00:35:47.949 --> 00:35:49.730 although the fact that it actually had to be 00:35:49.730 --> 00:35:52.909 brought before the Supreme Court is astounding. 00:35:54.190 --> 00:35:57.030 Fourthly, the fourth victory, a peace deal in 00:35:57.030 --> 00:35:59.469 Africa and regional stability there. This one 00:35:59.719 --> 00:36:01.659 has been hidden to many people. They haven't 00:36:01.659 --> 00:36:03.599 seen it. On the international front, President 00:36:03.599 --> 00:36:07.500 Trump's diplomatic efforts have yielded a significant 00:36:07.500 --> 00:36:10.420 breakthrough in Africa, a comprehensive peace 00:36:10.420 --> 00:36:15.199 deal signed between the Congo and Rwanda, conflicting 00:36:15.199 --> 00:36:19.760 parties in a major regional conflict. This peace 00:36:19.760 --> 00:36:23.880 agreement aims to end years of violence, foster 00:36:23.880 --> 00:36:27.039 stability, and promote economic development. 00:36:27.559 --> 00:36:31.360 The deal involves ceasefire provisions, power 00:36:31.360 --> 00:36:35.079 sharing arrangements, and commitments to disarmament. 00:36:35.880 --> 00:36:38.480 It is supported by the U .S. and regional leaders 00:36:38.480 --> 00:36:44.159 with the goal of establishing a sustainable peace 00:36:44.159 --> 00:36:47.960 process. This success, which has gone unnoticed 00:36:47.960 --> 00:36:51.380 by many, underscores the administration's commitment 00:36:51.380 --> 00:36:55.139 to fostering stability in Africa through diplomatic 00:36:55.139 --> 00:36:58.690 engagement and strategic partnerships. also proves 00:36:58.690 --> 00:37:01.710 that Trump is a man of peace. The peace deal 00:37:01.710 --> 00:37:05.329 is also expected to facilitate humanitarian aid, 00:37:05.789 --> 00:37:09.489 infrastructure development, and anti -terrorism 00:37:09.489 --> 00:37:13.369 cooperation, contributing to regional prosperity 00:37:13.369 --> 00:37:18.250 and security. And lastly, progress toward the 00:37:18.250 --> 00:37:22.050 big, beautiful deal. Finally, President Trump 00:37:22.050 --> 00:37:25.139 and Republican congressional leaders, continue 00:37:25.139 --> 00:37:27.199 to make strides toward what is being called the 00:37:27.199 --> 00:37:30.960 Big Beautiful Deal, a comprehensive agreement 00:37:30.960 --> 00:37:34.639 encompassing multiple facets of domestic and 00:37:34.639 --> 00:37:38.099 international policy, including trade, security, 00:37:38.780 --> 00:37:42.099 and diplomatic relations. While the Dems are 00:37:42.099 --> 00:37:44.300 fighting it tooth and nail, and a handful of 00:37:44.300 --> 00:37:47.739 Republicans are resisting portions of it, negotiations 00:37:47.739 --> 00:37:51.000 seem to be progressing well, with key legislators 00:37:51.000 --> 00:37:55.420 moving closer to consensus. The deal aims to 00:37:55.420 --> 00:37:59.599 enhance American economic strength, secure favorable 00:37:59.599 --> 00:38:03.340 trade terms, and solidify alliances globally. 00:38:04.239 --> 00:38:07.699 It is viewed as a critical piece of the administration's 00:38:07.699 --> 00:38:13.400 efforts to restore America. In summary, the week 00:38:13.400 --> 00:38:18.900 ending June 29, 2025 was marked by a series of 00:38:18.900 --> 00:38:22.179 very impressive achievements for President Trump 00:38:22.179 --> 00:38:25.519 and his administration. From decisive military 00:38:25.519 --> 00:38:28.820 action against Iran's nuclear facilities to reinforced 00:38:28.820 --> 00:38:32.440 alliances with NATO, significant judicial victories, 00:38:33.280 --> 00:38:35.900 regional peace agreements, these developments 00:38:35.900 --> 00:38:41.280 demonstrate remarkable accomplishments. The successes 00:38:41.280 --> 00:38:45.400 are shaping policy, asserting American interests, 00:38:46.440 --> 00:38:49.800 and fostering stability across multiple fronts. 00:38:50.800 --> 00:38:53.559 The momentum generated in these recent weeks 00:38:53.900 --> 00:38:56.519 back beyond just last week, suggests that the 00:38:56.519 --> 00:39:00.320 administration's strategic objectives are gaining 00:39:00.320 --> 00:39:04.440 ground. The accomplishments underscore Trump's 00:39:04.440 --> 00:39:08.300 assertive leadership, diplomatic abilities, and 00:39:08.300 --> 00:39:12.800 the strength of his team. Let's continue to pray 00:39:12.800 --> 00:39:16.139 for significant breakthroughs and for the turnaround 00:39:16.139 --> 00:39:26.389 to continue. I encourage you to follow Dutch 00:39:26.389 --> 00:39:29.449 Sheets with his daily Give Him 15 program.

The enemy is 00:40:18.260 --> 00:40:21.929 defeated and he must now retreat. as we take 00:40:21.929 --> 00:40:25.909 our stand according to your word.

It may seem far off, but 00:42:18.340 --> 00:42:21.019 most people make plans for a significant vacation 00:42:21.019 --> 00:42:23.900 about a year in advance. So if you haven't already 00:42:23.900 --> 00:42:26.619 expressed interest in traveling with us in April 00:42:26.619 --> 00:42:30.320 2026, Now is the time to do so. We want to have 00:42:30.320 --> 00:42:32.500 about 30 people total because this size group 00:42:32.500 --> 00:42:35.500 works best for the specific tour I have in mind. 00:42:35.699 --> 00:42:38.079 We'll be walking the footsteps of the Apostle 00:42:38.079 --> 00:42:41.260 Paul. I'm using the time between now and October 00:42:41.260 --> 00:42:44.420 2025 to determine if we have enough interest 00:42:44.420 --> 00:42:47.019 and the trend indicates we definitely should. 00:42:47.139 --> 00:42:49.380 We have just about 30 people on the list now 00:42:49.380 --> 00:42:51.840 but I'd like to have more because when it comes 00:42:51.840 --> 00:42:54.239 to the actual day of making a commitment things 00:42:54.239 --> 00:42:56.519 could have changed and I want to be able to have 00:42:56.519 --> 00:42:59.610 at least 30 actually attend the tour.
