Saudi Arabia – Power and Deception

The country of Saudi Arabia seems to be moderate, and they are when held up to radicals of the faith such as Syria, Iran and definitely Turkey.  I have made my thoughts known in an earlier post of Turkey’s hatred of Israel and their hope of an Islamic Caliphate.  More on that in a later post.  

The first Trump administration was in joy over Saudi Arabia declaring they would join the Abraham Accords.  Back and forth they go and as diplomats press SA, they always back track.  It seems the Muslim have much more patience than the Western world, particularly the United States. Once again the Saudis were on the verge of joining, but now it seems they have backtracked once again.  

Understand they play a long game and they and Qatar use money, power and influence to get what they want.  Unlike Iran and others who rant and yell death and destruction.

So what of today and the Iran situation.  Saudi Arabia is scared of the Iranians.  They don;t want or need terror coming into the so-called “Kingdom”.  So when push comes to shove they always stop short of offending the radicals.  To be quite honest, I am sick of Trump playing footsie when the Islamic world.  Take a stand and stand 100% for Israel.  The Muslim world will never be our true friend.  Below is a link to a very insightful article.  Hope you enjoy the read.  Link provided.

Stop chasing after the Saudis to join the Abraham Accords

Now that they’ve stopped worrying about an Iranian bomb, Riyadh is making clear that it will never recognize the State of Israel. It was never going to be worth the price anyway. Jonathan S. Tobin JNS.org Link to full article at bottom of page.

As insider reports have increasingly made clear, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the de facto ruler of the country, has decided to alter his country’s course. Instead of continuing to move closer to Jerusalem and, as so many in the United States and Israel hoped and even expected, joining the Abraham Accords themselves, the Saudis seem to be eyeing a different sort of regional realignment, in which they will now link up with other Islamist countries like Qatar and Turkey. They have even reportedly been advocating for the United States not to attack Iran so as to help the protest movement succeed in overthrowing the Islamist theocrats that have despotically ruled since the Iranian Revolution in 1979. They’ve also refused to let Washington use their territory for potential attacks on Iran.

On top of that, the Saudis are also moving away from their efforts to erase antisemitism from their education system and public discourse, as they had been doing as late as 2024. Instead, the regime’s state-run media has again turned to spewing out anti-Israel venom, in addition to the sort of open hatred of Jews that was routine before Riyadh’s turn to Israel and the West. Among other monitors of the situation, the Anti-Defamation League is sounding the alarm about prominent Saudi voices—closely tied to the royal family and the government—promoting antisemitic conspiracy theories and trashing the Abraham Accords.

School Boards are Failing Their Responsibility

School board officials work hard, and the work is not easy. But let’s be honest: their responsibilities are clear. They are elected to 1) meet children’s educational needs; 2) partner with parents to that end; and 3) help teachers navigate the challenges of today’s classrooms.

Sadly, Jefferson County Public Schools is 0 for 3.

We learned the score firsthand when my wife, Serena, went along on a multi-day school-sponsored trip to Philadelphia and Washington, D.C., with our 11-year-old daughter. On the first night, as students settled into their hotel rooms, Serena received a call from our little girl.

With a quiver in her voice, she told Serena that she had discovered that her bedmate was a boy and she didn’t know what to do.

The Senate is a Joke

BREAKING: The Senate just shot down Mike Lee’s amendment to remove $7 BILLION in earmarks for

  • Aid to illegals
  • Puberty blockers to kids
  • Green policies
  • DEI initiatives

“This amendment would strike the earmarks from this bill. In this bill package, there are about $7 billion in earmark spending.”

“Now, a lot of people like to say, and I like those other earmarks, but I like my own, so I’m going to vote for all of it so they can all stay in there.”

“What do these $7 billion do? Well, among other things, they do a lot, including a whole lot of them, in spending on woke, wasteful, and unjustified spending.”

“To recipients to fund housing and legal aid for illegal aliens, puberty blockers for kids, building EV charging stations part of the Green News scam, subsidize California disaster rail system, fund infrastructure and renovation projects at Wealthy, MET Museum, and the Michigan AFL-CIO, a dance festival in Massachusetts, DEI initiatives.”

“Look, we don’t need this. We don’t want this. This is what’s driving the train toward the $38.5 trillion debt that we’re adding to at a rate of $2 trillion a year. It’s unacceptable. It must end.”

Exceeding Greatness of His Power

(Live In His Word, Walk In His Spirit)

J.B. Phillips’ translation tells us in Ephesians 1:19, “How tremendous is the power available to us who believe in God.” When we make firm our connection with Holy Spirit, His life and power can flow through us. Don’t waste this amazing help.

Second Corinthians 13:14 says, “The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with you all.” The term “fellowship” is from koinonia and is rich with meaning, revealing some of what the Holy Spirit wants to be in our lives. The following English words are all translations of koinonia:

  • Fellowship – Holy Spirit wants to visit with us.
  • Communion – Holy Spirit wants to commune with us.
  • Sharing together – Holy Spirit wants to share His insights and power with us.
  • Participation in or with – Holy Spirit wants to participate in our efforts and activities.
  • Distribution – Holy Spirit wants to distribute revelation, gifts, anointings, and blessings to us.
  • Impart – Holy Spirit wants to impart God’s nature and benefits to us.
  • Partaking – Holy Spirit wants us to partake of His anointing and life.
  • Partnership – Holy Spirit wants to partner with us.
  • Companionship – Holy Spirit wants the pleasure of your company.

“May the koinonia of the Holy Spirit be with you.” What a loaded statement. Get better acquainted with Holy Spirit!

As I see it, when Jesus left this earth after the resurrection, He told His disciples that He was sending another comforter, (Gk. Of the same essence, of the same kind) the Holy Spirit. He will be with us and in us. Be filled with the Spirit, the greatest power on earth is a Spirit filled faith believing warrior of Jehovah God. Live in His Word, walk in His Spirit! Rh

A Potpourri  of Middle Eastern Prophetic News  (nation against nation)

  • Iran Conflict 

Official Saudi News Agency:

During a conversation between Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, bin Salman emphasized that Saudi Arabia will not allow the use of its territory and airspace for military actions against Iran.

##

With this, Saudi Arabia joins the United Arab Emirates, which issued a similar statement the day before yesterday.

(Abu Ali)

The front page of the conservative Iranian newspaper Al-Mashari today was devoted to threats against the United States and Israel:

“Trump and Netanyahu will be put on trial and punished. This is Iran – a mistake will be met with a response.”

The headline further stated:

“No American soldier in the region will be safe. Dozens of American bases in the region will be Iran’s first targets. Iran’s missiles will crush the infrastructure of the occupied territories. The Iranian Navy will sink U.S. warships. Israel’s military bases, as in the 12-day war, are within the range of our missiles.”

 The rumors of the failed coup in China:

Out of the 7 members in the Central Military Commission in China, the supreme body responsible for building and deploying military power, 2 remain who have not been arrested or disappeared.

A network of more than 80 doctors in 12 provinces in Iran estimates that the number of deaths in the clashes surrounding the protests in Iran is higher than 30,000. According to the report, the estimate is based on the conclusion that the deaths officially recorded as related to the suppression of the protest likely represent less than 10% of the actual number of deaths.

(The Guardian)

  • China

The rumors of the failed coup in China:

Out of the 7 members in the Central Military Commission in China, the supreme body responsible for building and deploying military power, 2 remain who have not been arrested or disappeared.

“But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come:”
‭‭II Timothy‬ ‭3‬:‭1‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

“And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of sorrows.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭24‬:‭6‬-‭8‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
The Greek word for nation is “ethos” which means ethnic groups, races or “tribes.” What we see in many areas are just that. Tribal warfare from the Middle East, Russia vs. Ukraine, to Chinese aggression against Taiwan, to the impending and constant skirmishes in America. (Just my take.) Rh

Planned & Orchestrated Chaos

What we see happening now in America is not by accident.  Planned, set up and orchestrated by enemies of our country.  The systematic destruction of the United States of America.  They are well on their way.  If not for DJT, America would be lost.  He was a blip in 2026 to stop the furtherance of the a third Obama administration.  It took a stolen election to put a stop to Trump, and further the “Plan.”  The plan?  Destroy America.  I say that without a doubt that is what the democratic party and its minions intend to do. 

 Rahm Emanuel: In 2008, then-Chief of Staff to President Obama, famously stated, “You never want a serious crisis to go to waste. And what I mean by that is it’s an opportunity to do things that you think you could not do before,” The pattern is simple.

This has really been championed through one of the two main political parties in America, the Democratic Party.  Mind you, this is the same party that began the first civil war, the Klu Klux Klan, Japanese internments, and Jim Crow laws, also has re-established itself in the following structure:

  • Antifa/Black Lives Matter/Green Peace/Riot Inc., etc., serve as their foot soldiers
  • Leftist-appointed Judiciary serves as the lawfare branch
  • SPLC/ADL serves as the targeting branch
  • Legacy Media serve as the propaganda branch
  • Soros/NGO network serves as the financial branch
  • Education/Hollywood is the indoctrination branch
  • Weaponized immigration, Islamists, LGBT (et al.) serve as their agitators

Make no mistake, it’s not just democrats. Many who claim to be against what is happening, (republicans in Congress) are nothing more than a part of the uni-party that seeks to be the aristocratic ruling party of America.  DJT won a decisive victory in the last election.  A clear mandate to govern America first and make America Great.  

It is beyond reason that DJT would support these politicians, especially leadership in the House and Senate, especially the Senate, they are dragging their feet on implementing the Trump agenda. Why is that?  One would think with the White House and both chambers of Congress, it would be easy to at least push for what the American people want.

Why the delays and the chaos.  It is a spiritual battle.  Principalities and powers attempting to rule over America.  Since 2020 there has been a demonic battle over this country.  Unfortunately too many Christians are oblivious to this unseen war.  We, as the ekklesia, have a mandate to attack and win this battle.  America and democracies everywhere are at stake  When America falls, the world will fall. 

If you need more convincing of the spiritual battle at work, consider where this is happening. Minneapolis-St. Paul is nicknamed Paganistan because tens of thousands of Wiccans and Pagans call the metro area home. Paganicon is a pagan convention held annually in the Twin Cities to further the teachings and practices of paganism. The spiritual forces of darkness have targeted this part of America as much as any other region. 

This isn’t about Trump or party politics, this is about our way of life and the future of our nation.  If we fall, the rest of western democracies will follow suit 

Epilogue; it would be easy as a Christian to give up and await the coming of the Lord.  But our Lord told us to “occupy till I come.” I refuse to stop fighting.

The Allure Of Peace

The allure of peace in the Middle East has caused many politicians to take sides, most of the time they’re on the wrong side of history.  Diplomacy as the western governments know it will never work in the Middle East. As a pastor and Bible teacher, I firmly stand on the inerrancy of the word of God. It tells me that there will never be true peace in the Middle East until the prince of peace makes his appearance. And that my friends, is many battles and much pain and sorrow away from happening.

What started off as a grandiose design by President Trump hailed as the beginning of the golden age, has moved from our shores to the world stage. Now we see the Trump administration mired in the same quagmire that has hit every US president since the Arab all embargo in the 70s.

What to do about Israel, the Arabs, and now the radical Islamic Jihadist. Trump is fond of talking about peace through strength. That truly is all the radical terrorists and anarchists in the Middle East understand. They have lived through tribal wars, ancient rivalries, and also ancient hatred of one another. Ancient rivalries infused with blood oaths as well. It’s inbreed. 

If one understands the Bible prophecy, we understand it will be a great shaking and falling away from the Christian faith. We also understand that Jerusalem will be a problem to all the nations of the world. “Zechariah12:2” There is a division happening right now of nations being sifted and taking side for and against Israel. 

We also understand some sort of world, religion, and world government will take authority over the entirety of the world. We see this played out in revelation 13. Our technology and surveillance systems have made it possible that every person on the face of the Earth can be tracked and their whereabouts, spending habits and even what they are writing and saying on social media can be tracked. And to think when we were booting those computers up every morning on dial up that it would come to something like this.

My opinion is that Trump and those around him have absolutely no clue to what they’re doing, so scratch off the typical left-wing lunatics who think that Trump is the antichrist. I don’t see how it could be. Is it possible, of course anything is possible. God is in control and he is sovereign. But I do believe that the Trump administration with their focus on peace in the Middle East and with his grandiose board of peace, which smacks of a New World order, which is exactly what Trump has been railing against. Funny how that works isn’t it?

The apparatus for the soon to be declared antichrist, the man of sin, the one who will step in and declare that he has the keys and the ability to make peace is now here. I do believe the steps that are being taken today, the push for the 

The AI revolution is a part of the foreshadowing that will come right before the antichrist is revealed.

Bible prophecy tells us the time is not right for the antichrist to appear at this present moment. In fact, I believe there are two events that will happen before this, revealing. The rapture of the church which I believe is a pre-tribulation rapture of the saints of God taken out of this world by the Blessed hope that they have in Christ Jesus. Also believe that shortly after that because of that chaos Ezekiel 38 a contingency of nations which primarily include Russia, Turkey, and Iran will lead an attack against the nation of Israel. This attack will happen at a time of peace and safety, as the Bible declares. When will that be, and what is the true definition of peace and safety, no one really knows.

Let’s get back to this board of peace. I believe it’s a for runner, I believe it is man’s way of trying to put money and dollars and investments, and bring about prosperity and peace in the Middle East. Which has been tried before, which has been bandied about as the solution. Remember, when Obama said if these Islamist just had a good job, they would lay down their arms? They’re not laying down their arms. They’re going to fight to the death because that’s who they are, that’s what they do and that’s who controls them, the spirit of death and destruction. Rh

Below is an excerpt from an article written by Jim Fletcher, an outstanding Christian activist, specializing in Bible prophecy, and Christian apologetics.

Here too we see the prophetic outlines. The full isolation of Israel, globally, is one of the linchpins of Bible prophecy in the very end times. I will say this: while Trump has done many good things, and seems to have genuine love for America, it also appears that he does not have a real biblical worldview. He has recognized Israel’s sovereignty over the Golan Heights, but his team is full of Arabists that have been in Washington for a century. They will not allow full Israeli sovereignty over Judea and Samaria.

The recent opportunities to decapitate Tehran, Beirut, and the Gaza Strip have come and gone, it appears. This will cost many more lives down the road.

But if we do hold to those marvelous predictions the Lord provided for us in His Word, we should not expect/count on real peace to break out. That is not His plan.

This Board of Peace will not be that. Instead, it is a bizarre and puzzling self-inflicted wound. It is like a child running toward danger, rather than fleeing it. Hard to believe so many smart people can be so wrong about building blocks for peace, at least short-term. Can you imagine what the world would have been like if the Ayatollah and his demon horde had been overthrown? At the very least, many lives internationally would have been saved from this terror nest.

We trust our Lord, though. And we wait.

House Advances Bill to Boost Ties With Israel, Eastern Mediterranean

(Jan. 22, 2026 / JNS)

A bipartisan bill aimed at reinforcing U.S. ties with Israel and the Eastern Mediterranean region advanced through the House Foreign Affairs Committee on Wednesday by a 45-2 vote.

H.R. 3307, titled the Eastern Mediterranean Gateway Act, seeks to elevate the region as a strategic priority in U.S. foreign policy by strengthening support for initiatives such as the U.S.-led 3+1 dialogue with Greece, Israel and Cyprus, as well as the East Mediterranean Gas Forum, which covers issues like energy security, regional integration and economic cooperation.  https://www.jns.org/house-panel-advances-bill-to-boost-us-ties-with-israel-eastern-mediterranean/ 

Sunday’s Invasion At Cities Church Shows The Deeply Spiritual Side To The Marxist Movement

“Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution” (2 Tim. 3:12).

Cities Church, a Southern Baptist congregation in St. Paul, Minn., was invaded by a mob of anti-ICE protestors on Sunday, Jan. 18. Leftist instigators targeted this congregation, alleging one of its pastors is affiliated with ICE in the Twin Cities. Reports reveal that the worship service had to be canceled because of the agitators’ intimidation tactics. 

Paul warned young Timothy that persecution would come upon those who desired to live godly lives. The godless disruptors in St. Paul entered a holy place, a sanctuary set aside for the worship of Almighty God, to prohibit it from sharing God’s Word on a Sunday morning.https://harbingersdaily.com/sundays-invasion-at-cities-church-shows-the-deeply-spiritual-side-to-the-marxist-movement/

Trump Announces Artic Deal Framework

U.S. President Donald Trump said Wednesday evening that he has developed “a framework for a future agreement” regarding Greenland and the wider Arctic region, following a meeting with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte.

In a post on his social platform Truth, Trump described the discussions as “very fruitful” and suggested the proposed plan would benefit both the United States and NATO allies. https://www.i24news.tv/en/news/international/americas/artc-trump-announces-arctic-deal-framework-eyes-us-presence-in-greenland

A Message from Amir Tsarfati

Will Trump’s approach to regime change in Iran resemble the Venezuela model – Ali Khamenei out, but another, more “moderate” ayatollah in?

Is this simply a way for the Iranians to buy time until Trump leaves office?

One thing is clear:

• The Bible is far more accurate than today’s newspapers.

Biblically:

• Persia (Iran) will join a coalition against Israel.

When I hear promises of support for the brave Iranian protesters, I feel deep sadness.

• I know in my heart that none of Trump’s closest advisers are capable of thinking beyond the business dimension.

• If a negotiated deal can buy time and prevent market disruption, the ayatollah regime will remain in power.

The same applies to Hamas.

• Do we really believe it will agree to be dismantled?

• Do we really believe Hezbollah will?

The Middle East is not a business venture like Venezuela.

• It is a region drenched in extreme religious ideology.

• Time and again, it has proven that financial gain and prosperity are no match for the “honor” its adherents believe they attain by leaving this world as martyrs.

Israel had better be prepared for the day it will stand alone, facing the most massive attack – from the north.

The Witkoffs and the Kushners will not be there to help.

BUT God…

You can find Amir on Telegram and www.beholdisrael.org

IMO here is a great cross section of things that interest me and also have prophetic implications.  We are living in perilous times, as well as “Prophetic Times.” Not to mention the ongoing saga in Gaza, that I foresee as having no real solution until Hamas has been defeated completely.  Compromise and peace deals do not work with the Jihadist, including the evil that is the remine in Iran.  Thousands have been slaughtered in Iran, it is time to act or sit down and shut up. Red lines do no good unless there are consequences for delay tactics and stalling.  Wait and delay is the modus operandi in negotiations with the West. Rh

Greenland – the hidden continent between the oceans

– Physical facts – a giant of ice

Greenland is the largest island on Earth, covering about 2.1 million square kilometers – roughly 100 times the size of Israel.

Only about 20% of the island is exposed – the rest is buried beneath a massive ice sheet.

Despite its immense size, Greenland is home to only about 56,000 people – making it one of the least populated places on the planet.

– The sovereignty paradox – self-rule under a crown

Formally, Greenland is a self-governing territory within the Kingdom of Denmark.

Denmark is responsible for foreign affairs and defense and provides annual subsidies that constitute a significant portion of the local budget.

Since 2009, aspirations for full independence have grown, with local parties pointing to 2030 as a target year.

– Location is everything – the bridge between North America and Europe

Greenland’s true value lies in its geography.

It sits at the meeting point between the Atlantic Ocean and the Arctic Ocean.

– The United States’ front yard

Geologically, Greenland belongs to North America.

Control of Greenland means control over access to the northern part of the continent.

– The Arctic lock

Greenland forms the central leg of the Greenland–Iceland–UK gap.

This is the critical maritime corridor through which the Russian navy must pass to move from the Arctic into the Atlantic.

– The awakening strategic significance

For decades, Greenland was viewed as a frozen wasteland of limited importance.

Global warming is now melting the ice and exposing two strategic opportunities – dramatically shorter maritime trade routes and access to rare natural resources that were previously unreachable.

– Summary

Greenland is a land of contrasts – vast territory with a tiny population – Danish sovereignty alongside ambitions for independence – and a geographic position that makes it the key to the North Atlantic.

Understanding these fundamentals explains why global powers are willing to engage in diplomatic and economic confrontation to gain a foothold there.

(Strategy and Geopolitic)

What started as a lark, (at least that’s what I thought), is seemingly getting some traction. There is no doubt the strategic importance of not only Greenland, but the whole Article area as well. Look for a compromise, the minerals are worth an untold amount of $$$. Rh
