WHAT IS GOD DOING IN IRAN?

Posted on by

CBN can now reveal that, for more than 20 years, CBN has been sharing the Gospel with the people of Iran by satellite TV broadcasts, webcasts, and phone centres through a ministry called Heart4Iran.

Edwin Abnous, executive director of Heart4Iran, joined The 700 Club broadcast on Monday to talk about the ministry and what he has been hearing from people inside Iran, both during the protests and crackdown, and now with the strike against the ayatollah and Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps.

For decades, Christians in Iran have faced persecution and prison, even death. Edwin was born in Iran but left the country in 1999 due to persecution he encountered as a result of his faith and missionary activities, including Bible distribution.

The prophecy about Elam (Iran) in Jeremiah 49:34–39 is fairly unique. It foretells both judgment (the sword, dispersion, destruction of leadership) and restoration “in the latter days.” This is one of the few places where Elam specifically receives that kind of dual prophecy.

“I will send the sword after them, until I have consumed them, and I will set my throne in Elam and destroy their king and officials, declares the Lord. But in the latter days I will restore the fortunes of Elam, declares the Lord.” Jeremiah 49-37-39

Jeremiah 49’s prophecy about Elam is singular in its detail, but Isaiah 11:11 and Acts 2:9 provide the most meaningful biblical connections suggesting that the “restoration” might be spiritual — fulfilled through the spread of the Gospel — rather than political or ethnic.

  • Christianity has grown rapidly in Iran over the past two decades — one of the fastest growth rates in the world, despite official restrictions and persecution.
  • Many Iranian converts—both inside Iran and in the diaspora—personally testify that their first awareness of Jesus came through a dream or vision.

This is the first of several post I will do on Iran. It is the centre of end times events at the moment so is worthy of our attention.

GENERAL-PURPOSE HUMANOID ROBOTS

Posted on by

Peter H. Diamandis, MD, is the Founder of XPRIZE, Singularity University, ZeroG, A360 and Dave Blundin is the founder & GP of Link Ventures. Both men are well known for the roles on Peter’s, Moonshots blog.

In this video Peter & Dave sit down with Brett Adcock to discuss the future of Figure AI and Humanoid Robots. Brett Adcock is the founder of Figure AI, an AI robotics company developing general-purpose humanoid robots.

Brett Adcock (born April 6, 1986) is an American technology entrepreneur and billionaire who is the founder and chief executive officer of Figure AI. In 2018, Adcock co-founded Archer Aviation, five years after he co-founded Vettery. In 2023, he established Cover. As of June 2024, Forbes estimated his net worth as US$1.4 billion.

In 2026, Figure AI will be working with companies to introduce robots in their companies to replace humans for manufacturing, and all other functions including warehousing and distribution. Figure has 55 companies knocking on the door ready to spend big bucks which will help them scale up their robots manufacture. However, he did say that with neural net his company can produce general-purpose humanoid robots and he is keen to produce them as is Elon Musk with Optimus Robots.

The disruption that robotics will cause to employment in 2026 will just increase the lawlessness we are already seeing in developed countries where for the most part, people, particularly the younger generation have accepted evolution and the Big Bang theory as the origin of life and the Cosmos. For them, God and His commandments are part of myths and legends. Their lives have no meaning or purpose. For Christians who know their Bibles and Biblical end times prophecy realise this is just part of what God has revealed to prepare us for the tribulation that precedes Jesus second coming to earth to usher in His Millennial Kingdom.

WARS & RUMOURS OF WAR: THE AGE OF DRONE WARFARE

Posted on by

How Ukraine is winning against Russia. Palantir has been working with Ukraine’s engineers since 2022 helping them to use AI on the battlefield particularly with drones. Warfare has changed forever and drones are now the front line of defence for Ukraine. Troops are at least 3 km back from the front line. Russia has not learnt the same lesson and are now loosing up to 35,000 soldiers a month, 80% killed by drones.

Russia is using more expensive drones to attack Ukraine Power plants, infrastructure and even hospitals and apartment buildings but no drones on the frontline like Ukraine. Frontline reporting describes a group of Russian soldiers surrendering in the Donbas sector amid claims of severe cold exposure, disrupted resupply, and weakened command-and-control. Accounts indicate multiple soldiers showed signs of frost injury and hypothermia risk, consistent with exposure in sub-zero temperatures without adequate winter equipment. The key driver cited is supply disruption—limited hot meals, ammunition shortages, and reduced evacuation capacity due to drone pressure on resupply routes.

One of Jesus end times signs prior to His return to restore righteousness is wars and rumours of wars. Whether it is Ukraine, Middle East (Iran), Taiwan, or Venezuela, across the world we have unrest, even within nations including the USA. The next prophesied war (Daniel 8:5-7) involves Turkey (Sunni) and Iran (Shia) as Turkey tries to re-establish its dominance of the Muslim world and its previous Ottoman Empire.

The Bible gives us many (almost 2,000) prophecies of Jesus second coming to earth so God wants us to be prepared particularly for the coming tribulation, even great tribulation for Christians.

“For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.” — Matthew 24:21

THE REVELATION OF THE END TIMES/THE LAST DAYS

Posted on by

Jonathan Cahn unveils how the Bible speaks of prophetic times known as the ‘Last Days,’ the ‘End Times,’ ‘the End of Days.’ Remarkably, it begins with Moses in Revelation. Before the Jews went into the Promised Land, Moses told them their entire history.

“And the Lord will scatter you among all peoples, from one end of the earth to the other, and there you shall serve other gods of wood and stone, which neither you nor your fathers have known. And among these nations you shall find no respite, and there shall be no resting place for the sole of your foot, but the Lord will give you there a trembling heart and failing eyes and a languishing soul.” Deuteronomy 28:54-65

“And when all these things come upon you, the blessing and the curse, which I have set before you, and you call them to mind among all the nations where the Lord your God has driven you, and return to the Lord your God, you and your children, and obey his voice in all that I command you today, with all your heart and with all your soul, then the Lord your God will restore your fortunes and have mercy on you, and he will gather you again from all the peoples where the Lord your God has scattered you.” Deuteronomy 30:1-3

“And the Lord your God will bring you into the land that your fathers possessed, that you may possess it. And he will make you more prosperous and numerous than your fathers. And the Lord your God will circumcise your heart and the heart of your offspring, so that you will love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul, that you may live. And the Lord your God will put all these curses on your foes and enemies who persecuted you.” Deuteronomy 30:5-7

Jonathan shows us that all the old testament prophets were shown the victorious end of Israel’s story with their Messiah ruling the nations of the world from a magnificent new Jerusalem. We find incredible detail (8 chapters) of the new temple in Ezekiel 40-48. The numerous details provided on Ezekiel’s temple require that they be taken seriously. The exact measurements and detail by detail instruction are nothing like portions of Scripture that are to be understood symbolically. 

For more on Jesus coming Millennial Kingdom go to http://www.millennialkingdom.net and go to Resources and click on PURPOSE and ISRAEL to discover what it will be like ruling and reigning with Jesus with a rod of iron. The curse is not lifted so people will still being born, sin and die, hence the need to rule with a rod of iron.

ISRAEL AND TURKEY’S STRATEGIC MOVES IN 2026

Posted on by

This is an excellent presentation on recent strategic moves by Israel to strengthen its position against Turkey which is intent on re-establishing its Ottoman Empire and dominance of Muslim nations.

In this episode of Israel Matters, Stephen Briggs explores the intricate geopolitical dynamics involving Israel, Iran, Somaliland, and Venezuela. He discusses Israel’s recognition of Somaliland and its implications for regional security, the internal struggles in Iran, and the recent political upheaval in Venezuela. The conversation highlights Israel’s strategic positioning in a complex global landscape and emphasizes the importance of understanding these events through a biblical lens.

HOW ISLAM ENDS ACCORDING TO BIBLICAL PROPHECY

Posted on by

What does the Bible really say about the future of Islam—and why are so many people shocked when they examine the prophecies closely? In this eye-opening video, we explore key biblical passages that many believe speak directly to the rise, influence, and ultimate end of Islamic power in the Middle East. Using Scripture, historical context, and careful interpretation, this episode challenges popular assumptions and invites viewers to rethink long-held narratives. Rather than speculation, we focus on what the Bible explicitly reveals about end-times events, regional powers, and God’s final plan for history. Whether you are a student of prophecy, a believer seeking clarity, or simply curious about biblical eschatology, this video will stretch your understanding and spark serious reflection. Watch to discover why these prophecies matter—and why the conclusions may surprise you.

EZEKIEL 38 & 39 are key end times prophecies that Joel Richardson covers in this presentation. Ezekiel understood, in his day, Magog was the land of Turkey it certainly was not Russia. All of the nations Ezekiel describes that come against Israel in the last days are Muslim nations that surround Israel.

JESUS AND PAUL AGREE ON TIMING OF THE RAPTURE

Posted on by

When are the elect gathered (“raptured“) according to the 3 main “gathering” texts:

1 Thessalonians 4:13-17, “For this we declare to you by a word from the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord.

Matthew 24:29-31, “Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. Then will appear in heaven the sign of the Son of Man, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And he will send out his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.”

Revelation 1:7, John says, “Behold, he is coming on the clouds, and every eye will see him, even those who pierced him, and all the tribes of the earth will mourn because of him.” Notice that this verse is parallel to the language of Matthew 24:30. The same coming on the clouds, the same mourning by all the tribes of the earth. But it adds one detail to the tribes. It adds language about those who pierced God. That language is not new. It comes from the book of Zechariah 12:10 where God says, “They will look on me whom they’ve pierced and they will mourn for him.” And the Gospel of John, chapter 19, explicitly connects this prophecy to Jesus’s crucifixion. You know, that’s when Jesus was pierced. In Zechariah 12, the mourning of Israel is not despair. Rather, it’s a mourning unto repentance. It is regret or mourning leading to a changed heart.

Revelation 7 is after the great tribulation just like Matthew 24. In fact, after the gathering, it specifically says these folks were gathered out of the great tribulation. Now, those are ways it’s parallel, but Revelation 7 adds new information to Matthew 24. It describes two distinct groups: the 144,000 Jews for evert tribe and then an enormous number of gentile believers.

THE MYSTERY OF GOG, MAGOG AND RUSSIA IN END TIMES PROPHECY

Posted on by

Jonathan Cahn opens up Part II of one of the most important, controversial, and relevant prophecies for our time-Ezekiel 38-39. Is it coming true? Does it include Russia? Is it being set up right now? Discover the Surprising Answers!

Another great video from Jonathan Cahn. He gives us a credible explanation for the roles of Rosh, Gog, Magog, Mesheck, and Tubal in end times prophecy.

To my knowledge all of the end times scholars realise we are living in the Biblical prophesied end times prior to Jesus return to rescue God’s nation Israel and initiate His Millennial reign on earth with the glorified Saints. Go to http://www.millenialkingdom.net to get prepared to rule and reign with Jesus on this earth. Jesus and the Saints rule with a rod of iron as the curse is not lifted off the Cosmos. People are still being born and die and still sin which is why it says Jesus and the Saints will rule the nations with a rod of iron: “From His (Jesus) mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations, and he will rule them with a rod of iron.” Rev. 19:25

“And while they (The disciples) were gazing into heaven as He (Jesus) went, behold, two men (Angels) stood by them in white robes, Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into heaven? This Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will come in the same way as you saw him go into heaven.” Acts 1:11

SIGNS OF THE COMING END TIMES APOCALYPSE

Posted on by

Generations of believers have wondered about the Book of Revelation, but are we now in our generation actually seeing the signs of the approaching Apocalypse even now? Don’t miss as Jonathan Cahn opens up of The Book of Revelation. Jonathan reveals that all the Biblical end times signs (16) are evident NOW.

What are the main signs that Jesus in the Olivet Discourse and John in Revelation revealed about the time of Jesus second coming: 1. Israel had to be reborn as a nation in its homeland as all the end times prophecies are Israel and Jerusalem centric. Prior to 1948 none made sense as Israel as a nation did not exist. 2. Daniel was told to close up the book of Daniel as it revealed what would unfold in the future when God would regather the Jews from where He had scattered them and their Messiah would rule and reign the nations of the world from a magnificent new Jerusalem. The end times prophecies in Daniel and Revelation are now in play. 3. In the end times the Bible reveals that the Muslim nations surrounding Israel will do their utmost to destroy it: In the six day war Egypt, Syria, Jordan, Iraq, Lebanon were the main protagonists but Saudi Arabia, Algeria, Sudan , Morocco, Tunisia, Kuwait and Yemen provided troops, aircraft, or logistical aid to the coalition, but their forces did not see significant frontline action against Israel. Since then Iran with its proxies Hamas. Hezbollah and Houthi rebels are the main protagonists. The Bible has Turkey leading the way in a war against Israel and recent events support this prophecy playing out in the new future. 4, end times signs such as church apostasy, persecution of Christians, lawlessness, antisemitism are all evident in our day.

AS PROPHESIED GOD IS DRAWING JEWS BACK TO ISRAEL PRIOR TO JESUS RETURN

Posted on by

“Thus says the Lord God: Behold, I will take the people of Israel from the nations among which they have gone, and will gather them from all around, and bring them to their own land. And I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel. And one king shall be king over them all, and they shall be no longer two nations, and no longer divided into two kingdoms. They shall not defile themselves anymore with their idols and their detestable things, or with any of their transgressions. But I will save them from all the backslidings in which they have sinned and will cleanse them, and they shall be my people, and I will be their God.” Ezekiel 37:21-23

In an upscale Tel Aviv neighbourhood – the kind filled with joggers, beach bars and hotels that attract wealthy holidaymakers – Tahli Engel, formerly of Melbourne, tells a story you hear a lot in Israel, and it captures one of the most ­important, but least understood, perspectives emerging from the wars triggered by October 7. “Life in Melbourne, absolutely, was very good,” she says from her living room. But after October 7, 2023, she and her family began to notice “the changes”, as she calls them. The subtle hostility. The growing discomfort with displaying one’s Jewish identity.

They loved Australia and thought about staying for good. And yet – and this is the part we need to understand – they felt a compulsion to return to Israel, to a country in the midst of a catastrophic war. There were many reasons, of course – lifestyle and work opportunities chief among them – but the essence of it all is that her family, somehow, felt safer and stronger here. Let’s be as clear as possible: a quiet but profound shift in the global Jewish consciousness appears to be taking place, one that appears to be reshaping Israel, its diaspora, and which is driven by numerous converging forces that define this moment. The first is paradoxical. 

Australians are driving the cohort that is: their numbers are up 23 per cent, according to the Israel Aliyah Centre, and 87 per cent of the ­emigres are young adults aged ­between 18 and 34.

These aren’t refugees. They’re millennials and Gen Z professionals making a bet about where they can live as fully expressed Jews in the 21st century. Americans are doing the same. So are the British, the Canadians, the French. In other words, citizens from countries where government policy or civil discourse has been hostile enough to Israel or the local Jewish community. Hillel Weinstein, a former university student in Melbourne who moved to Israel last year, puts it bluntly: “I’d see encampments and huge signs saying ‘Free Palestine’ all over university property. I’m like, if this is where I’m studying, this is not a place that I want to be at.” Here, he walks the streets feeling “as safe as I’ve ever been. A lot of people have moved from around the globe to Israel, especially because they just don’t feel safe where they are”. Consider the irony for a moment. Young Jews are fleeing ostensibly peaceful Western ­democracies for a country that just fought a multi-front war and endured the sight of buildings being toppled by Iranian hypersonic missiles, because they feel more secure walking the streets of Tel Aviv than Brunswick or Newtown.

This is just another proof that Biblical end times prophecies can be trusted and that God is control of history.
