  • “I wouldn’t say we’re quite there yet, but if the conflict does go on for another six months, for another year, it certainly continues to stress the supply chain in ways that are challenging,” Del Toro added.

Hal Lindsay discusses the importance of Matthew 24

2 Peter 3:3-4 says, “In the last days mockers will come with their mocking, following after their own lusts, and saying, ‘Where is the promise of His coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all continues just as it was from the beginning of creation.’”

Gatestone Institute lays out what to expect on New Iran Deal

Revelations 6:3-4 “when he opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, “Come!” 4 And out came another horse, bright red. Its rider was permitted to take peace from the earth, so that people should slay one another, and he was given a great sword.

Important Takeaways:

  • A Deal Based on Lies: The Iran Nuclear Agreement Will Make War More Likely
  • These are the effects of the proposed nuclear deal brokered by the EU, Russia and China. Why is it brokered by the EU, Russia and China? Because the United States was outrageously banned from direct negotiations by Tehran. It is not outrageous that Iran demanded it, but that the US tolerated its own exclusion
  • [T]he deal that is about to emerge will be even worse [than the 2015 deal]. The argument of the “bad” dealers is that it buys time for the West, with Micawberish optimism that “something will turn up”. This thinking is clear from President Biden’s preposterous hope that he can “lengthen and strengthen” the deal once it has been struck.
  • Tehran can legitimately commence operation of advanced uranium enrichment centrifuges in two years, all the while working flat out to develop nuclear-capable ballistic missiles that, along with Iran’s terrorist activities, are not covered at all in the agreement.
  • Tehran will continue to develop the nuclear capability that it sees as its right — deal or no deal — at the speed it wants until it is physically stopped from doing so
  • More than that, according to Israeli prime minister Yair Lapid, Tehran will receive $100 billion a year as a result of lifted sanctions.
  • Released from sanctions, Iran will be used as an economic refuge by Moscow to evade its own international sanctions.

Important Takeaways:

  • Grave Danger for Taiwan as Tensions Soar with China – Is War Now ‘Fearfully Plausible’?
  • China expert Gordon Chang believes Beijing is gearing up for war.
  • “A Chinese entrepreneur factory owner a few weeks ago told me that, local cadres, officials came up to him and said, he’s no longer producing medical equipment for civilians. His factory is going to be converted to war production, and this was not just an isolated case,” Chang, a senior fellow with Gatestone Institute, told CBN News.
  • Elbridge Colby, a former top Defense Department official, warns America should prepare for war with China over Taiwan, warning that a conflict has gone from “a remote scenario to a fearfully plausible one.”
  • Chang says Beijing is already making preparations.
  • “The Chinese Communist Party is trying to sanction-proof itself,” Chang said. “For instance, it has told its officials to sell their foreign assets so they can’t be taken away by foreign governments if they wanted to impose costs on China for invasion.”
  • This comes as tensions continue to soar in the Taiwan Strait.
