War In Iran

This is the Truth Network. Welcome to Truth Talk Live. All right, let's talk the truth news. I can't hide it. A daily program powered by the Truth Network.

This is kind of a great thing, and I'll tell you what. Where pop culture, current events, and theology all come together. Speak your mind. And now, here's today's Truth Talk Live host. Mm war in Iran.

What does the truth look like, right? When. You think about the core cause of the conflict. I mean, what really is it beyond the headlines? Is it nuclear containment?

Is it. A regime change, economic interests, end time prophecy. Or maybe it's something else in your mind. How do we distinguish truth From the political spin of what's going on. And a bigger, huger question that my good friend Dr.

Date the word. Posed, which I think is awesome, is will this action result in a greater peace for all the world? For all the world. For all the world. Right?

And I can assure you that we need your views. That's the reason we have Truth Talk Live. It's a live show. We're very, very, very interested in what's on your mind, what's your heart. You know, you can completely disagree with us.

I hope you do. I mean, we would love to know your point of view. Uh we can all learn from each other because you know that's the beauty of the body of Christ, right? That you reflect God the way you do, I do the way I do, and together we can get a view on this.

So we would love to know your view on the current Conflict 866-3487884. 866-348-7884. If you weren't aware. Right? really what may be one of the most serious moments in modern history, the U.

S. Iraeli military campaign against Iran. What it means globally and how believers should think, how we should we pray. How do we respond? In truth, right?

Because people are going to challenge you with what do you think?

So in the early hours, Of last Saturday, February 28th, 2026, President Trump announced that the United States had begun a major compact combat operation. Alongside Israel. Against Iran. and part of what has been called Operation Epic. Fury targeting missile sites, nuclear infrastructure.

Infrastructure or infrastructure. I'll get it right eventually. And here's a really different thing that you like this is kind of like against the unwritten rule here. lead regime leadership right actually to target Leaders, they stay away from that one because they don't want it happening to themselves, right? It's a different kind of thing.

It happened. on Shabbat and Ramadan. Yes. And it hop happened in broad daylight. Yeah.

And all these things Right? They ask us start some fundamental questions. Like You know, how do we balance faith and fear? And, you know. What's the gospel of peace?

But Ecclesiastes has something to say, right, Doc?

Well, Ecclesiastes says that there is a time for war. And a time for peace, a time to heal and a time to heal.

So Ecclesiastes does address that. Threw up the S uh our millennia we've had the big debates over what is a just war. And um There are questions to be asked and answered on that. When do you get to that place where you say? We have to be preventive.

Um You know, we ended up with a Pearl Harbor. That the question would be: I've posed it, what if we knew? That they were going to launch those planes, would we have taken out those? aircraft carriers. What we have before we've ever been attacked Take out the enemy.

that has not yet attacked. That's a tough one. That's a real tough one.

Well, there's another angle that I guess the Lord allowed me to see, just based on what I do. We were at Nashville. Week before last? Mm-hmm. As my practice, you may know that I, with the Truth Network, you know, interview people during the entire time that I'm there.

Okay, hold on. For our listeners, Robbie Dillmore interviews people almost the entire time he is there. I watched you work. hour after Hour. I'm telling you, we have a man here who just doesn't know how to slow down.

I love it. Yeah, that is true. But because of that, and because I've done it for years, I have for a number of years interviewed this wonderful a ministry out of Iran that represents the Christian churches of Iran. And they have a beautiful young lady that comes to my booth or our booth, you know, the truth booth, so to speak, there at the NRB every year. And She has a peace about her.

She has a countenance that you just remark remarkable. But I almost didn't in fact, I don't think I did recognize her when she sat down in front of me this year. Because of the horror, the that this regime has brought to its own people. Yeah. And After these uh protests.

What they did to their own people is is is beyond unthinkable. Yeah. snipers on roofs. If they just even had a s uh s an any idea that you were involved, you'd walk out of your house and and they would shoot you on sight. Worse than that, in my opinion, they would break into your house.

If you can imagine a group of soldiers breaking into your house, And they would strip everybody in the house down. And if they found a single bruise now that however it would happen, if they might have been in a car accident or they fell down the stairs, who knows? But if they found a bruise, they figured you were a protester and they shot you on the spot. That was their own people. And so when when you see these people in the streets, That are rejoicing at what's happening.

And if you actually talk to a Persian person from Iran and you note that they are. Yeah. Like, man, we needed this. You have all sorts of interesting things. I I interviewed my um my rabbi friend in Israel this morning.

I do a podcast called Robbie and the Rabbi. And we had that conversation this morning in You know, he was talking about what happened in Beit Shebesh. Um You know, and the lives that were lost there, that he, as I, in our interview, Doc, he was, I was like, how come I'm not seeing the sun on your face like I normally do? Robbie, we have. These special shutters that come down in our windows.

To protect us against the shock waves of the missiles that are dropping. And as you even talked about, Doc, when we got on the show, which again, I want to make sure that anybody that has an inkling and a viewpoint, we want to hear from you. Seriously, it's a live show. This is. Obviously, on everybody's minds and hearts right now.

Call us 866-6666. 3487884. 866-348-7884. Both Doc and I were in Israel in December. Yeah.

And And to say that on March 2nd we'll be doing this show. Yeah. But we also know there was huge fear in Israel when we were there in December because of the ring of eight. And that's eight different countries, people groups, like Hamas. like Hezbollah.

that want to, here's the word, annihilate. Israel. They don't just want to figure out how to coexist with them, and Israel gets a little peace. They want them from the river to the sea pushed. out of that land.

They want them annihilated. And so just again, December, we were there. And that fear is there. And my question, as you said earlier, the way I've been looking at it today, I wonder how this will now result, hopefully, hopefully, peace for the world. Right, right.

And this morning, my rabbi friend had some words for me that I thought were absolutely remarkable. And uh we were talking about it from a biblical standpoint. And he showed me something I wasn't even close to aware of in Psalm 94. which starts out with the verse, O Lord. God to whom vengeance belongeth, O God to whom vengeance belongeth, show thyself.

Now the fascinating thing about that sentence If you break it down in Hebrew, Is that the word vengeance is plural, and so it's vengeance is. And it is sandwiched between two of the most holy ways that you can say God in the Hebrew language. In fact, Jews won't even talk about those two. You know, they'll say Hashem, which means the name. Um And I got a little more information about that, that about vengeance that I learned.

That's really a keepsake. But, you know, the keepsake is it's still in you because you haven't called. We got lines open. We want to hear from you. 866-348-7884.

What think you? Is this going to bring more peace to the world? War win Iran today on True Talk Live. What does truth look like in this situation, and you know, will this result? in more peace in the world.

We would love to say we would love your view on the current situation, what you may see, and prophecy, how this aligns with that. Oh, there's that's some questions there. 866 348788486634 Truth. Right before the break, we were talking about Psalm 94, and my friend in Israel. A Jewish Orthodox rabbi who studies Hebrew, you can imagine.

He was showing me this in this verse. that this word vengeance is sandwiched between The the god that the w the It's a translation of the word L. And there's another God that would be the Yudhei Vevhei, the infallible name of God the Jews won't even say. And between those two holy words of God, the names of God. Is sandwiched the word vengeances in the plural.

And the way that he put it was so beautiful, I just wanted to share it with you. It really made me feel good. He said, You know, and vengeance from God's point of view is not like I'm going to get even with you from the way that we think about that in a worldly manner. He said, but what it is, is it's God literally balancing his books. You know, he's When we sow something, we're going to reap something.

And your actions have consequences. And when you. Pull on that trigger. You take that two-pound pull, or whatever it takes, to pull that trigger, it will result. Whether you like it or not, once that bullet has left the barrel.

It has consequences. And Things will be reaped based on that, and the same by us taking whatever action we take. Is this in defense, clear defense? Um as we can talk about a lot that what kind of meeting would forty three of the top Iranian leaders have in broad daylight that they would take such a risk to do that? And there's all sorts of questions along those lines.

And it obviously didn't just cost You know those men their lives, but I understand it it cost uh Supreme Leader's wife's life as as well, and it's That's one of the big questions, Rob. Why would they have come together like that unless they were planning something? What say you? 866-348-7884-866-34TRUTH. Then there's a beautiful biblical angle to that, this situation.

I mean, beautiful from a standpoint of, you know, the signs in the sky are meant for us to see something, right? And it is no accident that we got a blood moon tonight. It is no accident. Tomorrow is Purim. Right?

And and you can't help but say that, oh wow, I mean, you know, All that stuff that happened with the book of Esther w that ri led up to this particular you know holiday was from Persia, right? And they had to go and defend themselves before they were attacked. That was exactly what the deal was. Right, that they were, you know, based on the evil Haman, right? They were.

They were orders from the king. to murder all the Jews.

However There was another order that was issued for them to go defend themselves before the attack. And now they celebrate every year they celebrate this celebration of the Purim. And um But evil has not forgotten it either. As you were pointing out, Nazi Germany had their own way to celebrate Prime Minister. Yeah.

Er every year uh I read 1941, 42, 43, 44, they would pull out ten specific Jews just to execute them. In Retaliation for Haman's ten sons that were hanged. Because it wasn't just Haman that was hung, they hung his ten sons. Oh, yeah. And that's the issue of sin, right?

It's so often we don't realize we're corrupting ourselves. Yeah. But oh my goodness, you corrupt your whole family. And if you really study the book of Esther, you can see the horror that Haman brings on, not just. himself.

But all of his family, his daughter, his sons, his wife, Um, it's it's actually to some extent it makes me sad. I uh was a teenager in the late seventies. And um all of a sudden Iran is in the news, you know, Wal Walter C Concrete. Concrete, I say that right. I could have said it until you said that.

Walter Cronkite. Yes. Closed his CBS show every night with day, number, whatever it was of these of our hostages. 52 of them held hostage by the Iranians. And who was who was Iran?

And all of a sudden they're in focus because of what they've done here. And um I have to tell you though, Robbie, At no time had I ever thought death to Iran. It's not death to a nation. It's not death to a group of people, but There are people who are leaders, they have to be stopped. And yet all over Iran we kept hearing deaf to America, deaf to Israel.

And I just again, we love our Jewish friends. and to hear people constantly screaming death to the Jew from the river to the sea, which is exactly opposite of what the Bible teaches, that idea of from the river to the sea is that they are pushed off the land into the sea, which means they drowned. They don't want them to exist.

Well, that that's not acceptable. 866. The number to call in because you have a view. We would love to hear it. We really would.

8663487884866348 7884. I I do find it interesting, Robbie, that after you read Psalms 94, 1 O Lord God, to whom vengeance belongs O God, to whom vengeance belongs, shine forth There's a prayer, Rise up, O judge of the earth. Render punishment to the proud. Right. What we're hearing, and again, that's what we're hearing.

is that in the negotiations that was supposed to get this resolved last week. One of the negotiators said you just could not believe the arrogance. Of the Ayatollah. That's one of the things that rings in my bell in my head, when I hear. Uh verse 2, render punishment to the proud.

He just would not. Budge one bet, just full of arrogance. And arrogant people do bad things. Yeah, they do because you know, the biggest person we're supposed to listen to is God, right? And when we get to thinking I am God and that was that brings up the other scripture That the rabbi shared where the exact same formation of that that a word is sandwiched between two those same two names of God right there, and and it's in First Samuel, and you've got it right there, right, Doc?

Yeah, in chapter two, verse three, talk no more so very proudly. Let no arrogance come from your mouth. For the Lord is the God of knowledge or knowledges, And he, by him, actions, plural actions are weighed. And then comes the vengeance. Right.

And and where you said that That God is the God of all knowledge. Therein, you have exactly the same formulation that you find. It's only found in those two places. That's Psalm 94 as well, where you see that L on top of a plural. Right, description, which in this case is knowledges, not just he's the God of knowledge.

But he knows everything. Knowledge is everything that's out there to know. And so he honestly knows my heart. He knows President Trump's heart. He knew the Eitola, knows the Eidola's heart.

And The hummock. Yeah. You know, Ravi, there have been times when you're dealing with a situation. And um I I will make a statement. As I was working at Liberty, that decision is above my pay grade.

Exactly.

Well, as I've been Again, since Saturday morning, when the news breaks, okay, what's going on? What's going on? What's going on? I just kept coming back to Some people have a whole lot more information than I do, so I need to be careful how I respond right now. And God has the final say because he is the God of not just knowledge, but knowledges.

Right. He knows that. Fortunately, somebody does know what's going on, and it is the truth. We would love to know what your thoughts are. 866-348-0638.

7884, we'll be right back. War in Iran. Today on Truth Talk Live. Certainly in Israel In the Norb northern Arab territories where there are American bases. In Cyprus, Um It's Epic Times and it's Operation Epic Fury.

And we really, I mean, there's a lot going on. We the president stepped way on out there. He sure did, 'cause he had said he wasn't gonna start any new wars. And here we are. And there's a lot of people upset.

And maybe you're one of those. And we would believe me, I you have no idea how much I would love to hear your viewpoint. 866-348-7884-866, the number to call, and I want you to. 866-348-7. Seven eight eight four.

As you're right, there's so many things about this that are just epic, that they are never before seen in the history of warfare. never before seen in the history of the world. And I gotta tell you from um You know, there's certain parts of me that go Yay team. Yeah. I'm just talking, this is Robbie's opinion, and it is completely my opinion when my rabbi friend was saying There's no explaining how we in Israel feel about America standing behind us.

They've never. Right. Stood with us and beside us like people in white male.

Well, from June through today, you know, to right now, it's like. Um They f they feel like Um Uh well Robbie, it's still a date for us. that I would say I'll throw it out there and I doubt many people go, oh yeah, that's one of the worst days in history. But October the 7th, 2023. It's like 9-11, two thousand and one to our friends in Israel.

Oh, it's worse, yeah, to them. And it's It it was brutal. We were there. two years later in the killing fields. And just the anguish But also Our Jewish friends Failing from us.

At least some way's got our back. Because again, to understand, and I'll be honest, was not understanding what they were calling the ring of eight. those eight fires burning all around them And uh Hezbollah being part of that, the the hoodies And Iran funds all of them. I masked. Hamas.

Five just giving them the money to kill Israelis. Let's wipe them out. Um Yes, there's a little bit today of We finally dap back at them for what happened in 1979. But That's so far back, but it's still part of history. I mean, you know, the American.

Iranian Um tension has been going on. I learned today since 1953. I didn't realize that. But after World War II, Uh US and Britain. uh deposed one of their new leaders because of how he was handling the oil.

And that has just created a tension that's been going on since 1953. And um I I love what mis what President Trump kept saying. We're not out against the Iranian people. We want you to be part of the broader economic picture. You deserve to have a good life.

But as you heard from your good friend, The life in Iran has been absolutely terrible under this regime, especially in the last six months. Yeah, and I think it's hard for us You know, a and you mentioned nine eleven. And If you were in New York City, or D.C. If you were in D.C., or if you were in one of those places, it's a whole lot different sense. of nine eleven than it is you know, obviously in Washington state or out in Nebraska somewhere.

Right. But for those people in Israel You know, if they're in Jerusalem, which is where most of the population, either Jerusalem or Tel Aviv, Tel Aviv isn't like 20 miles away, and Jerusalem isn't 50 miles away. As you know, we drove over there. And so it's like, it was like those people who in New York said that kind of horror, those people. you know, coming down the street, shooting everybody that moved.

Um No. But that that that was something that was happening that close to their house, it has a different impact on you. And obviously there was maybe not obviously, but we know that there is rare there is very, very few families that did not lose someone. Or weren't connected to someone that was lost in the conflict over the next two to three years. And You know, it had a horrific feel to it, but it also has provided an open door that.

Clearly. We have never had Jews. talk to Christians or accept Christians. or begin to look into what the Bible actually says. About what possibly our relationship could be and should be.

Right? Like there is today. The doors, it's beginning to open, and you can kind of see God in that. Yeah, it is really cool. And I'll tell you, I mean, my tour guide back in December, we still.

communicating with one another and and he does uh Sunday morning sends a text message, please pray, please pray because the location that did get hit with a missile where nine we believe nine Israelis were killed, forty some injured. It was three minutes from his house. And all of a sudden, for me, I'm feeling a connection. Hey, this is one of my good friends. and he he's barely escaping uh three minutes from his house.

And so praying, we were asked, encouraged, begged, please bring people to Israel. And we have two teams there right now. One that's very close to us right here in Winston-Salem. Yeah, Greg Hinnan, who sometimes hosts this show and was actually in this studio. I was with him last Wednesday, right?

Well, he went to Israel and he was at the Magdala Hotel when the bombing started. They moved him to Jerusalem. They're in safe houses. They are in bomb shelters as we speak. And the way the rabbi kind of described that this morning is.

You know, you get what sleep you can. And then you go get in the shelter because then they go off again, and then you get what sleep you can, and you know, and And they're t it is not a way for someone to live. Right. And that's why I'm praying. And what are we supposed to be doing, Robin?

We are supposed to be praying for our leaders that they do bring about peace. That's 1 Timothy chapter 2. There there needs to be peace. Um yeah, it's a it's a But, you know, I don't know if you've ever seen the movie First Night with Sean Connery, it you know, where it has to do with, you know, Camelot. But There's a scene that is just amazing where the bad guy comes in, I forget his name, the bad prince that's trying to take over Camelot, and he goes on and on about you're going to mess with the peace if you keep doing this.

You know, you're not for peace. And Sean Connery says these words that I'll never forget as long as I live because it's such a powerful line. He says there's a peace that only comes on the other side. of war. Mm.

Yeah. And you know, had we not taken on Hitler, obviously. Um well, I believe Franklin Roosevelt ran for president on an isolationist policy. But he had to call for a declaration of war. on Japan.

Because they woke up a giant. And then on Germany. And um I don't I don't think Europe wins World War Two without Americans getting involved. I really don't. I mean, they were the difference makers.

We showed up with fresh troops. We showed up with all that armor. I love studying that time period of history. How all of a sudden, every one of our big machine plants. Making cars.

They're turning out planes. But what we showed up with, even more important than that, and in my opinion, is with our faith. We we showed up. With a love for God. Yeah.

And a love for what's right. And and You know, part of what we were doing is obviously coming after the people that were killing Jews. And God uses. Man to carry out, you know, just like David to kill Goliath, who was defying the God of the universe. He uses human instruments.

And um Uh we d I I believe it was um President George W. Bush that had called Iran part of the evil axis. Oh yeah, that's That uh that is certainly the case and You know, as you said, it's it's been a long history And I don't know if you've met many Iranian people in your life. I've had a chance to work with several. Um They have a really interesting view.

They are beautiful people. They are not. Um they don't consider themselves Arabs by any means. No. They they considered themselves Persian and from that Persian Empire, and that whole idea of Sirus, and this whole idea of fascinating to me that we are coming into this season.

Blood moon tonight. Puram tomorrow. Like, oh my goodness, for those of us who have studied the book of Esther and realize the significance. of that was the picture that the rabbi was telling me of vengeance completely happened for Amon. In other words, he said all these traps.

He built the gallows. Right? The the for Mordecai that he was to hang on and who hung on it. Right? Essentially, you can't say God didn't intervene in the book of Esther.

It just clearly, who's the one that set the balance? And it and it and at at the end of the day, that's that's what's gonna happen. But we Again. You know, we don't it's above our pay grade, Doc. We would love to know what you think.

866-348-7884, the number to call in and share your view or your prayer or You know, just your thoughts. 866-348-1. 7884. It is it is a grave time. I remember reading back in December, um the book of Esther and asking that question Um Do you need to wait until you are attacked to defend yourself?

And how do you balance that? But that's what they had to do. If they had not have gone out and started the attack. that was to be coming on to them. They would have been killed.

And what was it you said President Trump actually released a statement today. That I took you out before you could take me out. because they've been calling for his assassination. They put hit teams together that have already been captured. And I guess part right now for us as American citizens, I mean, we always have to have our alert up where we're paying attention.

But even more so right now because of things that just happened down in Austin, Texas. Yes, we have a lot to talk about, but we mostly would love to hear from you. 866-3666-8666-66 348-7884. The number call in and share 866-34 TRUTH. We'll be right back.

Truth Talk Live. War in Iran today on Truth Talk Live. We've been talking all hour. And certainly you've heard our thoughts and But obviously, it is epic and it is epic stuff going on. And what say you?

866-348-7884-866-34-TRUTH. We got Linda is in Ohio. Linda, you're on Truth Talk Live. Oh, already. Yeah.

We're excited you called.

Well, I'm kind of having trouble. Having anybody tell me an answer about what they think, and I think because the Bible doesn't say what it is, but. Are we little Babylon through all this? That'll always, yeah, I see your point, right? Um in my opinion, no.

Um And here's what here You don't see Babylon back Israel in many situations. Um Well, I guess I was just confused as whether Babyl Little Babylon really doesn't come up until Revelation, does it? And right now, I don't think there's hardly any place that we see it other than. The scholars that teach it to us. I mean, is that in the Bible?

I'm even no. I think it says Little Babylon at one point.

Well, we got date doctor date. The word Carson is hot on the trail for us right now, Linda. But again, that you know Revelation is, you know, there's some serious stuff going on right now. When you look at these forces from the north, possibly Russia connecting with Persia, they're certainly there. And certainly the Babylonian idea has always been more a worldly stance than certainly a godly stance.

So it Doc, what you got?

Well, I don't little Babylon together. There's a couple of verses that have Babylon and the word little together in the verse there, but. Uh I I I well what do you what in Revelation, what does it say? What do you have in Revelation about? I know as Babylon has fallen and fallen and In in verse in chapter 14, and then again in what, 16?

We're looking for you, Linda.

Well what I was looking at to find that was chapter 29 of Jeremiah and Verse 10, it says, For thus saith the Lord, that after 70 years be accomplished at Babylon, I will visit you. and perform my good word toward you. In causing you to return to displacement. I don't know what that means, but that's where it mentioned it. I was reading that part where it says.

Then you shall, after that stuff, then you shall call upon me, and you shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you, which is the part I was reading. But When I was on what you're talking about in Jeremiah 10, wonderful verse that was calling Israel actually to return, in other words, there was 70 years that Israel would be in exile in Babylon. And the idea of that, unfortunately, for Israel was that. You know, they followed after false gods, and Babylon being the place of false gods, you know, pretty much God said, Oh, you want to deal with idolatry? I'm going to send you to the place of idolatry, where they spent 70 years.

And so they were. you know taken off And in into Babylon, in exile. And then, after that 70-year period of time, they were to return back. to Israel. Unfortunately, Um as Persia then took over Babylon, many of the As it turned out, many of the Jews stayed in Persia.

And thus the Book of Esther happened. And the person that told them to go back was Cyrus the Great. and a great Persian. And he said, I want you to go back. to Jerusalem and I want you to rebuild the house of God.

That was his instructions. That was like in 48, or is that what I'm. thinking happened. Yeah, right.

Well, it actually started. You're talking about the Zionist movement that actually started right about the turn of the century that they started to return to the land and they started opening up these kibbutzes. That wouldn't have anything to do with the 70 years or the fact that the end time was supposed to happen within our lifetime after 1948, which would mean it's going to have to happen pretty soon because I'm already going to be 77 in a few days. I know the feeling, because the promise was, right, that Jesus made that after you see the shoot come out of the tree, that it won't, this generation won't pass away before the Lord comes. And so, yeah, and we know that a lot of those signs were.

Half of my 250 kids I graduated with are gone.

So. You know, the average age to die is 77, which I'm going to be in a week. Or three or four days, whatever.

So, um I guess I was wondering if any of that had any correlation to the seventy years. Did the prophecy clock start ticking in 1948? There are a lot of people who did, and that's where, again, this weekend, all of a sudden there's questions. Where does this fit into biblical prophecy? And I told you, Robbie, before we started the show, I have my eye on Russia right now.

Because if Russia does get involved. Me too. That's my thoughts. Exactly.

So that's what we've been hearing for years about what could happen with Russia as the bear at Ezekiel 38. Prophecy again coming to life. But I also know that lots of people now wonder if Prophecy clock started ticking for that last generation when America. put its embassy in Jerusalem. That's when Israel really became, quote, a nation.

So We don't know. Yeah, and then there's still The idea of the red heifers and then. The red heifers are now there. The red heifers are there. And again, you know, they're.

There is no temple currently, and that the red heifers would open the door to the pro, you know, to be able to have cleansed priests to be able to do the temple sacrifice again.

So there's a lot of stuff like that that is actually going on right now. And there's no doubt that there's a lot of people. But there's a really. Go ahead. There's a really good preacher that I read in our paper from Indiana, and I can't remember his name right now, but he.

Wrote it the best I've ever seen it about a year ago, maybe not quite a year ago, about. What's going to happen, and in there he said there will be one more small war before the big one, before Armageddon. Could this possibly be what he was talking about? Again, above my pay grade to some extent, Linda. But I think.

That there is going to be wars and rumors of wars. That's what I know of. You know, that's what Jesus said. And he couldn't be more right. There are lots of them.

Like unprecedented wars. And this one is one of them because you heard, I'm sure, I know that there were some 900. 900 strikes in Iran on Saturday. Just unthinkable. And my son was right in there.

Was he really? And he's Well, thank you for his service. Yeah, I understand. I understand. But we thank you for his service.

And as a mom, you know, let's pray. him and his family and the three boys, three teenage boys. He's got three teenage boys and he's serving. Wow. Yeah.

Well that's through through the It's a big time reason. I don't know if I want to say online. Yeah, I can't be praying for our servicemen and women. The other good thing is that it is their families.

So, Lord, thank you again for our. I get it. I get it. We're going to pray.

So, Lord, thank you so much for. These brave men and women, you know, they don't necessarily know other than they were commanded and they had promised. And so they're serving their country. And Lord, we thank you for their service. We pray that you would protect them, that you would guide them and direct them, give them great wisdom on where to go and where not to go within their discretion.

Lord, we pray for our leaders that you would give them discernment and wisdom as we know that their hearts are in your hand like water of a river. And so, Lord, I pray that you would. Help this to quickly end. Even those people in Iran, give them the wisdom to know they don't stand a chance. And why not just before a lot more people have to die or wounded or anything else, you know, find a better outcome that would be peace and a better life for everybody.

Lord, we trust you. We know you're in this. We know this. Would not happen apart from what you have in mind for us. And so, Lord, we pray that you would prevail.

Help us to get in line with whatever you're doing in this. Help us to get our prayers in line with what you're doing with this. Help us to feel your presence. And certainly, for those right now who have lost loved ones or struggling with wounds in hospitals and all that's going on, Lord, we pray that you would be with them, be with their families, and that people would see you as what you really are. This amazing, loving God who is trying to make things right for all of us, that we could spend eternity together with you.

In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen. Amen. Uh Yeah, well there's a But um praying for the safety of them. while they're over there.

But mostly, I'm concerned too about the The cells that have been planted here for so long. And if that Texas thing was the first one. I'm almost as concerned as if they lived back here. Absolutely. Of course, we need to be absolutely everybody on their guard.

We're all infidels. We're supposed to be killed. According to them, we're all infidels. We're supposed to be killed. So the new leaders aren't going to change all that.

If they do, they're not going to do it very soon in Iran. And the people that are normal citizens are all for it. They're loving it. They want to be able to live there and go back and all that kind of stuff. But But as long as they have that feeling that unless you're one of them, you're going to have to be killed.

You know what I mean? It wasn't that. Yeah, well, again, there's all sorts of different sex. Of religions there in Iran, just like in any place. Unfortunately, the one that's in charge right this minute is very, very, very radical compared to the mass population.

Not to mention that, again, the people I've interviewed every year in Iran are Christians. I mean, and they certainly don't have that point of view. And so, you know, we got Christian brothers and sisters and all sorts of different people there, Linda. And again, we're going to continue to pray for your son. I'm so grateful for your call, for your courage.

Um and for what your family stands for. And your study. I love that you're asking these hard questions. That's great stuff.

So thank you for your call, Linda. Got knock. Mm.
