The Mideast war heats up again

If you have followed the news regarding the Mideast conflict, you will recall that the Israelis and US forces aggressively attacked Iran on February 28, 2026. This opened up Pandora’s Box, which they will probably not be able to close again.

After 40 days, a “ceasefire” was announced on April 8. The date itself follows the prophetic pattern set in 1983, where a 40-day cycle was established from February 28 to April, 1983. Recall that from March 10 to April 8, 1983 I made a 30-day trip within that 40-day period.

Anyway, the ceasefire was supposed to include Lebanon, but the Israelis insisted otherwise. So it was inevitable that the ceasefire would eventually fall apart. The Israelis decided to use the opportunity to invade Lebanon once again and to seize more land for their “Greater Israel” project. They claim that they want a “buffer zone,” but once they establish that buffer zone, they will annex it, bring in more settlers, and then they will have to defend it with another buffer zone, and so on, and so on. It’s an incremental land grab.

Last week the Israelis announced that they would soon bomb a suburb of Beirut. The Iranians warned them that if they did so, they would send a proportionate number of missiles or drones to attack Israel. Trump called Netanyahu and told him that if he went ahead with his bombing campaign, he was “F*** crazy.” He did so anyway.

Iran then responded accordingly. Trump then asked both sides to cease firing, since both sides had done equal or proportionate attacks on each other. In other words, they were “even.”

Trump urged Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu not to retaliate against Tehran's latest missile barrage, warning that further escalation could jeopardise efforts to secure a peace agreement…

Trump's comments came after Iran launched missiles towards Israel, marking the first direct Iranian attack since the ceasefire that took effect on April 8 and threatening to derail ongoing diplomatic efforts aimed at ending months of hostilities.

Addressing Iran, Trump added: "You've shot your missiles, that's enough. Get back to the table and make a deal."

He also sought to downplay the impact of the missile barrage.

"The Iranian strikes didn't hurt anybody. Hopefully Israel is not going to retaliate," Trump told Axios.

Warning against further escalation, Trump said another military exchange would only prolong the conflict.

"If Bibi strikes them back, it's just going to keep going like the last 47 years, or the last 3,000 years," he said.

"Each of them had their fun. Israel had its strike, and Iran had its strike. We don't need another one."

Some think this argument is real; others think it is staged. In the end, it hardly matters. What matters is that the fragile ceasefire was, as Trump said, just a diminished war, and that this is now escalating back to full-scale missile attacks. Even Yemen has joined the conflict now, after abiding by the ceasefire. Yemen has now closed the Red Sea to all traffic, and this means the world market will have 3 million barrels of oil per day LESS than before.

The oil shortfall is now 18 million barrels per day. The stockpiles of oil around the world are being used up rapidly. Some have already run out; others will run out in the next few weeks. It seems that we are moving again toward all-out war by July, as I projected earlier, according to the 2001 pattern of spiritual warfare.

Wars tend to justify dictatorships, especially when nations feel that they are on the losing side. If the Israelis feel threatened, they will use nukes. They threatened this in the 1973 war, forcing the US to ship them huge amounts of conventional weapons to win. No doubt they have threatened Trump with the same kind of disastrous policy. So whether Trump likes it or not, he has no choice but to continue to rearm and refinance the Israeli state. Otherwise, the war will go nuclear.

An Israeli defeat would also be a defeat for the US Empire. Empires do not give up or give way to the next rising empire. Instead of making peace with the next rising empire, they try to fight it. The only exception that I know of is when the British Empire gave way to the American Empire a century ago. (The transition of power occurred between 1914-1946.) Britain made some agreements, however, in order to try to retain as much power as they could.

Trump is now trying to take it all in order for the American Empire to survive in the face of the rising Eastern Kings. He has succeeded in destroying Europe economically by sanctioning Russian oil and gas. European governments are working insanely hard to destroy themselves. The EU operates as a virtual dictatorship, led by unelected officials. The weakening of Europe strengthens the falling US Empire as well as the rising Eastern Empire.

It’s all relative. If our economy is “less bad” than the others, then we win.

What is clear is that the Washington is now Israeli-occupied territory. The swamp has been drained and piped directly into the White House. All non-Zionists are being purged, ridiculed, and slandered. This is the result of Christian Zionist support. Their view of prophecy from Darby and Scofield appears to be winning out at the present time, as they promote a Zionist millennial kingdom. Their effort will fail in the end, but we could see some serious damage in the interim.

Online censorship is steadily increasing. To say anything against Zionism is fast becoming illegal, because they equate it to antisemitism. If this condition persists, the day may come when the regulators will shut down our website altogether. It may even become illegal to send an anti-Zionist book through the mail.

So my suggestion is that if you want access to my books, you may want to order them ahead of time while they are still available. I do not know how far God will allow this to go on, because I do not know how long it will take for America to repent. America’s support for Edom in the controversy of Zion is the root problem in the time of Christ’s second coming. Zionism is the counterfeit kingdom that is the single most important rival to the Kingdom of Christ.
