Scripture for Today, 1-12-20: Prophecy Update

"Escalating Convergence"
​Iran does have a role to play in the end times. History of Iran and its neighborhood, as it relates to biblical history:
The prophet Jeremiah prophesied that Elam, a nation east of Babylon, west of Persia and south of Media would be conquered and then rise to power again. True to that prophecy, Babylon conquered Elam in 596 BC. However, then Persia, under Cyrus the Great, took control of that area, and the Elamites and Medes became part of the Persian Empire. The Medo-Persian Empire ascended to power and conquered Babylon in 539 BC, fulfilling the prophecy of Isaiah 21:2. This happened during the time of Daniel; in fact, Daniel later resided “in the province of Elam” in Persia. Persia is the setting for the book of Esther and the first part of Nehemiah... More here

John Haller reports ...
​
1-12-20, America, Israel and Missiles, oh my!  Isaiah 2:3-4​

Unless you've been living under a rock, or cowering in your "safe space" you cannot help but realize that the convergence of events has taken a major adreneline shot in the arm over the past week. With the precision strike on one of the most notorious Iranian generals in history [Soleimani], eventually relegating what was left of him to room temperature, there has been a variety of responses.

While the everyday Iranian people are celebrating his demise, the regime, and their allies in the US mainstream media, are lamenting his death in surreal tributes and accolades.

Unlike the Bin Laden death, which the American media celebrated and lauded praise on Obama...

...  the tone of this death has taken on a regretful, remorseful apology tour with unprecedented worship of this violent General. 

It is a despicable display of sympathy for one of the world's worst humans, while the vitriol and rhetoric that should have been directed the brutal Iranian regime ... it was redirected toward President Trump who authorized the strike. It is a surreal world we live in...and who knows where this is going next. What we do know, and are assured of, is that our Lord is in full control of the affairs of men, and He will not leave or forsake us.

Don't fret and worry...while John Haller will share his critical analysis of the current state of the world, do not despair. These are the things that must happen before we see the Lord Jesus' arrive in glory to judge the earth and her people for the transgressions they commit. Jeremiah 31:31-34
