Netanyahu Arrives in Washington as the Iranian Regime Says ‘No Path Remains Other Than Jihad’
By Erick Stakelbeck - https://harbingersdaily.com/netanyahu-arrives-in-washington-as-iranian-regime-says-no-path-remains-other-than-jihad/
The Bibi is back. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu arrived in Washington on Monday ahead of a crucial White House meeting with President Trump. Both men will also attend the funeral of Senator Lindsey Graham, who was a great friend and supporter of Israel.
It’s the eighth meeting between the two leaders since President Trump returned to office in January 2025, and the stakes could not be higher. After nearly two weeks of massive strikes against Iran, the US has paused military operations yet again in an attempt to negotiate with Iran’s regime. The President told Axios on Monday, “We are in very deep talks with Iran. If they don’t work out, we will go back to very strong military action… Either it goes fast or not at all.”
Trump’s Middle East Gamble-Arming Today’s Allies Could Create Tomorrow’s Enemies
By PNW Staff - https://www.prophecynewswatch.com/article.cfm?recent_news_id=10311#google_vignette
History is filled with governments that armed a friendly regime only to watch those weapons one day fall into hostile hands.
America supplied the Shah of Iran with billions of dollars in advanced military equipment. A few years later, the Islamic Revolution transformed one of Washington’s closest allies into one of its most dangerous enemies.
The United States armed Afghanistan’s mujahideen to fight the Soviets. Some of those networks eventually evolved into movements that would later threaten America itself.
Iraq’s military, once backed by the West against Iran, eventually became an adversary. Libya’s weapons spread across North Africa after Gaddafi fell. Syria’s civil war demonstrated how quickly sophisticated military hardware can disappear into the hands of extremists.
The lesson is simple: governments change. Alliances shift. Weapons remain.
‘Reality Check’: The Majority of Americans Want the Trump Administration To ‘Finish the Job’ In Iran War
By Family Research Council - https://harbingersdaily.com/reality-check-the-majority-of-americans-want-the-trump-administration-to-finish-the-job-in-iran-war/
A recent survey has revealed that the majority of Americans support continuing the war in Iran. Sixty-two percent of surveyed general election voters agree with the statement “The United States must finish the job once and for all to protect the United States and our allies — which means ensuring that Iran can never obtain a nuclear weapon and can no longer threaten American lives” data from Tea Party Patriots Action found.
The poll also asserted that the numbers found in the survey should be a “reality check” for the media.
“72% of Americans — including 60% of Democrats — agree that Iran cannot be allowed to exert control over the Strait of Hormuz, which is consistent with President Trump’s policy,” Tea Party Patriots Action Chairman Jenny Beth Martin told Breitbart News.

The Second War of Magog
by Bill Salus - http://www.prophecydepotministries.net/2026/the-second-war-of-magog/
This article reveals the FINAL FUTURE WAR prophecy and is taken from my book and DVD entitled, The FUTURE WAR Prophecies. After the Battle of Armageddon, the world experiences a thousand years of peace during the millennial reign of Jesus Christ. This is according to Isaiah 2:4 and Micah 4:3, which both foretell,
“He shall judge between many peoples, And rebuke strong nations afar off; They shall beat their swords into plowshares, And their spears into pruning hooks; Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, Neither shall they learn war anymore.”
He refers to the Messiah Jesus Christ. He will have to judge between many peoples and rebuke strong nations afar off, but these nations won’t wage war anymore. There appear to be three primary reasons that the Millennium will be void of wars.
On August 12th We Will Witness a Total Solar Eclipse, A Rare Parade Of 6 Planets, And the Peak of the Perseid Meteor Shower
It is not often that we get to experience three major celestial events on the exact same day. On August 12th, a rare parade of 6 planets will be visible before sunrise. Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, Uranus, Saturn, and Neptune will all be lined up across the morning sky. The only planet that we will not get to see will be Venus. Subsequently, there will be a spectacular total solar eclipse that will be visible in much of the northern hemisphere. And after the Sun goes down, the heavens will be teeming with shooting stars during the peak of the Perseid Meteor Shower. It truly will be one of the most memorable days that astronomers have experienced in a long time.
It is normally quite rare to see a planetary parade that includes six different planets in the night sky.
And it is exceptionally rare for such a planetary parade to occur on the date of a total solar eclipse.
But that is precisely what we will get to experience on August 12th…
Daily Jot: When Persia Weakens and Turkey Rises
Bill Wilson – www.dailyjot.com
For years, Iran has dominated discussions about Israel’s greatest regional threat. Its nuclear ambitions, proxy armies, and relentless calls for Israel’s destruction made Persia the obvious focus of Middle East watchers. But recent events suggest another shift is underway. Israeli leaders are increasingly warning that Turkey, not Iran, may become Israel’s principal long-term strategic challenge. As Iran’s military capabilities and regional influence diminish, Turkey is expanding its military reach, diplomatic influence, and ambitions throughout the Middle East. Students of Bible prophecy should take notice. The geopolitical landscape appears to be moving in a direction Scripture foretold long ago.
The prophet Ezekiel recorded that in the latter days a coalition would gather against Israel under the leadership of Gog from the land associated by many scholars with regions of modern Turkey, with Persia, modern Iran, joining that alliance (Ezekiel 38:2-6). For decades, many wondered how Turkey could emerge as the dominant force while revolutionary Iran occupied center stage. Today’s headlines offer an intriguing possibility. Iran has suffered significant military setbacks, its proxy network has been weakened, and its economy remains under crushing pressure. Meanwhile, Turkey has strengthened its defense industry, increased its influence in Syria, expanded its diplomatic role, and openly challenged Israel across multiple fronts. Even Israeli officials now describe Turkey as the strategic threat they expect to face in the years ahead.
That does not mean Ezekiel 38 is being fulfilled today. Prophecy often develops through decades of geopolitical change before the final pieces fall into place. What makes this moment remarkable is the direction of movement. Iran appears to be declining from the dominant position it has occupied for nearly half a century. Turkey appears to be filling the resulting vacuum. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu recently summarized history this way: when one regional power declines, another rises. Israel’s concern is that Ankara intends to become that new regional power. Those observations arise from military intelligence and strategic planning, not from prophetic speculation. Yet they closely resemble the realignment that students of Scripture have watched for over many years.
Jesus instructed His followers to watch the signs of the times, not to predict dates. That remains wise counsel today. Headlines are rarely equal to prophecy, but they often reveal the direction history is traveling. Whether these developments prove to be the final alignment or simply another step along the road, believers should remain spiritually awake and biblically grounded. Our confidence rests in the Lord who declared the end from the beginning. As Isaiah 46:10 says, “Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done.” The prophecy clock belongs to God alone, but today’s headlines certainly encourage us to keep watching, praying, and trusting His Word.
Daily Devotion: Standing Strong Against Opposition
by Greg Laurie – www.harvest.org
So take courage! For I believe God. It will be just as he said
—Acts 27:25
https://harvest.org/resources/devotion/standing-strong-against-opposition/ - Listen
Many Christians are tempted to believe the lie that when we’re in the will of God, everything will be smooth sailing. But often just the opposite is true. Doors slam in our faces. Obstacles appear in our paths. Storms arise that threaten to drive us off course.
That’s why we need to remember that we have a spiritual enemy who wants to stop us from doing what God wants us to do. And he will use any means at his disposal to accomplish his work, including causing us to doubt God’s goodness and protection.
Acts 27 tells the story of the apostle Paul’s voyage to Rome. Though he was a prisoner facing trial, he recognized that his circumstances would give him a momentous opportunity to share the gospel with several highly placed Roman officials. He reasonably could have expected smooth sailing all the way to his destination. After all, he was doing the Lord’s will even as his life hung in the balance.
But that’s not how this story goes. An incredible storm arose that caused the people on his ship to despair of their lives—but not Paul. It seems there was no obstacle big enough to stop the apostle. He always seemed to rise above his circumstances. His words to his sailing companions in Acts 27:25 summarize his mindset: “So take courage! For I believe God. It will be just as he said” (NLT). As he went through the storm, he knew God had shown him what to do, and he would let nothing deter him from that course.
When a hard time hits, when a crisis hits, when a tragedy hits, often our first instinct is to look for a way out. We ask God for an airlift out of our problems.
But God wants us to learn in the midst of them. Romans 8:35 and 37 say, “Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? . . . No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us” (NIV). Notice the phrase “in all these things.” It isn’t saying we won’t face some of these things. But it says that in them we are more than conquerors.
If you’re seeking to obey the Lord, expect opposition. Expect obstacles. Expect difficulties. But also expect God to see you through.
That applies on a national level as well. Theodore Roosevelt, our 26th president, once gave a speech in which he talked about “the man in the arena”—that is, a person, such as a national leader, who is heavily involved in doing what he believes is right, all the while enduring the attacks, criticism, and second-guessing of those who sit on the sidelines.
In an earlier devotion we talked about how electing believers into office facilitates revival in our nation. But we also need to stand by those leaders because our spiritual enemy will do his best to wear them down or neutralize them through continuous attacks.
They need our support.

"Folks, it's all beginning to unravel. America is in more danger of falling than at any time in its history. But I believe Bible prophecy predicts this very decline. From this point on, we believers have to get serious. We are going to face discouragement, disillusionment and, most certainly, persecution in the time between now and the Rapture. But don't be discouraged or disillusioned. The coming turmoil will provide us unrivaled opportunities to share the good news of the Gospel. So be ready to share your faith and your hope with those who need Christ. We still have time to reap a great harvest of souls for God's kingdom!" - Hal Lindsey
