I felt evil like I've never felt before while standing on the Temple Mount, especially next to the Dome of the Rock.

The Temple Mount was swarming with flies and smelled of urine. The place where the altar would have stood had trash everywhere. When I got too close to the open doors of the Dome of the Rock, two Muslim women sitting there aggressively barked, "No! Back!" at me with pure rage in their eyes. I just wanted to look in.

If you are unaware, non-Muslim prayer is forbidden on the Temple Mount. But the evil was so thick that I called my wife over and told her we had to pray right then and there—illegally—just to push back against the oppression in the air.

It's sad to see what should be a holy beacon so remarkably abused.

You know what shook me when I was Muslim?

The story of Hosea. God tells a prophet to marry a woman He knows will betray him.

She does. She runs to other men. She ends up enslaved, sold, used up, worthless to the world.

And God tells Hosea to go BUY HER BACK.

To pay money for his own wife who cheated on him, and love her again. Hosea 3.

I thought it was the most humiliating command in the Bible. Why would any man do that?

Then I realized I was the wife.

I gave my heart to everything but God. I chased other masters. I sold myself cheap. I made myself worthless.

And God looked at me, the betrayer, and didn’t say “you’re not worth it.”

He said, “Name the price. I’m buying her back.”

That’s the Gospel. God doesn’t wait for the unfaithful to come crawling back clean.

He pays to redeem them while they’re still dirty.

Islam told me to make myself worthy of God.

Hosea showed me a God who pays to redeem the unworthy.

The cross was Him naming the price.

Praise the Lord.

If I'm honest this has been a hard season for me lately. I've been struggling with trusting God's timing. I was reminded when reading Psalm 37 today that I am to be still before Yahweh and wait patiently. That Yahweh is good to those who wait for him and seek him, and it is good to wait quietly for God’s salvation (Lam. 3:25–26). This quiet waiting involves hoping in God’s word while the soul waits more intensely than watchmen awaiting morning (Psalm 130:5–6).

I was reminded that prior to preaching to thousands, for a season Peter went back to fishing after thinking he failed Jesus. That Paul sat in prison cells, Lazarus lay in a tomb, Jonah prayed in the belly of a fish, Hannah wept on the steps of the tabernacle, Joseph was locked in the captivity, and Moses stood in the fields of Median herding sheep. All before God made moves in his timing.

Times of waiting, while hard, remind us of the confidence we should have in God’s timing and character. When direction seems slow in coming, we're called to wait for it, assured it will come when the time is ready (Hab. 2:3). Yahweh himself waits to be gracious and show mercy, and those who wait for him are blessed, for he is a God of justice (Isa. 30:18). Rather than taking matters into their own hands, like I often am tempted to do, we are instructed not to repay evil but to wait for the Lord, who will deliver us (Prov 20:22).

Hoping for what is unseen involves waiting with patience (Romans 8:25), and through the Spirit and faith, believers eagerly wait for the hope of righteousness (Galatians 5:5). Waiting involves expectancy and hope regarding events and contingencies still in the future, it's the outworking of a spiritual posture directed at trusting God’s promises and timing rather than our own understanding.

Knowing all of this, writing here on X doesn't make my season of needing to wait any easier, but the consistent, inspired, inerrant testimony of scripture nonetheless gives me something solid to trust in. I am fickle, impatient, and finite. God is trustworthy, forbearing, and infinite. And his timing is right even if I don't know how or when things will happen.

I’ve been waiting and sitting on potentially writing this post about the profound connection between Iran and Israel.

One that has global effects beyond what the natural eye can see.

Today is the day.

This “war” is more than just another Middle Eastern conflict. It is a deeply prophetic and spiritual moment for the nations of the earth.

How? Let me explain.

It started nearly three thousand years ago.

The Assyrians conquered the northern kingdom of Israel in 722 BC, which represented 10 of the 12 tribes of Israel, following the death of King Solomon and the split of the nation.

Shortly after this, the Babylonian Empire partnered with the Medes (Iranian descendants) and conquered the Assyrians in 609 BC.

Subsequently, the southern kingdom of Israel was conquered by the Babylonian Empire in 586 BC.

A king by the name of Nebuchadnezzar was in power during this time (Daniel 1). It was a season of heavy oppression for the Jewish people, as the Temple had been destroyed—a time of dire need for the Hebrew children.

Within fifty years, the ancient Persians (today’s Iranians) stepped onto the scene and overthrew the Babylonian Empire in
539 BC.

What happened next was a supernatural sign from heaven.

A pagan empire, serving pagan gods, was divinely used to serve the purposes of Yahweh.

It culminated with three Persian kings—Cyrus the Great, Darius I, and Artaxerxes. Collectively, they decreed and allowed the Jewish people to return from exile to their homeland and even funded the rebuilding of their Temple.

A miracle.

So where do we find ourselves today as Israel and the United States have launched a joint attack on the Iranian Islamic regime?

1. Scholars believe Iran is home to one of the fastest-growing underground churches in the world. Estimates suggest that between 800,000 and 1 million people have become followers of Jesus.

When Iran becomes free from its current regime, I believe it would open the door for the proclamation of the gospel across the Middle East, a region that is currently less than 5% Christian.

The gospel has not had this level of opportunity in this region for millennia. This could be a sign of an end-times harvest.

It’s time.

2. Scholars believe the descendants of the Assyrian and Babylonian empires—who previously conquered the Jews—are represented in modern-day nations such as Iraq, Turkey, Syria, and surrounding regions.

These nations have historically been among the most hostile toward Israel and have had ties to terrorist networks, many of which have received indirect support through channels connected to Iran.

The fall of such a regime would represent a significant disruption to those networks.

3. The Islamic stronghold across the Middle East that has chanted for decades “Death to America” and “Death to the Jews” is clearly operating from an anti-Christ spirit.

I personally believe this moment could open millions of Arabs, Muslims, and others to hear the gospel for the FIRST TIME EVER.

4. Many Iranians themselves have been outspoken in their support for Israel, which is remarkable in its own right.

Iran may once again serve as a catalyst for the Jewish people—perhaps even playing a role in what Scripture describes as “all Israel will be saved” (Romans 11).

Church, I pray that the spirit of wisdom and revelation would come upon us, opening the eyes of our understanding.
(Ephesians 1:17–18)

We pray that every ruler—seen and unseen—that has exalted itself against the Lord would be brought low (Ephesians 1:20–21).

Iran, let freedom ring in your land once again!

The storyline of God is unfolding before our very eyes.

Maranatha. Come, Lord Jesus!

@LeeStrobel I got ya beat by 6 years. I’ll never forget the week in 1975, my surrender to Jesus as Lord. I had been seeking (many times in the wrong direction) for the Living God. During that ‘week’, Jesus manifested himself to me with ovewhelming love I didn’t know was possible

@greglaurie Happy birthday to President Trump. Look to God and give Him glory for deliverance and not your own strength. He will deliver Israel and bring peace to the Middle East. He will also bring peace to Ukraine.

[Donna Bovee NWA @DonnaRealtyATX]

@realDonaldTrump this is for you:
For the king trusts in the LORD, and because of the Most High's faithfulness he is not shaken. Psalm 21:7 NET
Please forgive @elonmusk and Elon forgive Pres Trump. Feuding is nonsense and helps no one.

[Donna Bovee NWA @DonnaRealtyATX]

@Kalei949 @elonmusk I 100% agree. Please stop this petty feuding!!

Qatar wants to gift a plane from Qatar, not to Donald Trump, but to the USA. If we refuse that gift maybe we should also return the Statue of Liberty to France? #qatarplane
