Now The End Begin
Host And Founder Of ‘Now The End Begins’ Geoffrey Grider:
Trump Knew Iran Could Close the Strait of Hormuz But Went to War Anyway as 13 US Servicemembers Now Lie Dead and Missiles Strike US Embassy in Baghdad.
War always begins with speeches about strength and victory, but it inevitably ends with funerals. Only weeks into Donald Trump’s war with Iran, the first grim receipts are already arriving. Thirteen American servicemembers are dead, a girls’ school in Minab lies in ruins with the bodies of children pulled from the rubble, and now missiles are landing inside the heavily fortified compound of the United States embassy in Baghdad. What was promised as an ‘easy victory’ against Tehran is already morphing into the kind of widening Middle East war that history tells us ends in heart-rending misery and unbelievable destruction.
When Trump ordered American forces into open conflict with Iran, he knew exactly what the risks were. Military planners had warned for decades that if Tehran ever felt cornered, the retaliation would not stay contained within Iran’s borders. It would spread through the region like fire through dry brush — through Iraq, through the Persian Gulf, and through the narrow choke point of the Strait of Hormuz. Now that warning is becoming a stark reality. In fact, things are so bad that Trump is now sending 5,000 US Marines to be the first boots on the ground to try and wrest control of the situation back out of the hands of the Iranians. Based on recent troop deployments and warship relocations, this war could easily last well into winter and beyond. I want very much to see the United States win this thing and get our troops home quickly, but things are not trending in that direction.
As of mid-March 13th U.S. servicemembers have been killed and others seriously wounded as the conflict intensifies. The number has climbed steadily as Iran-aligned militias across the region launch drones, rockets, and missiles at American positions. But the most haunting images of this war are not coming from a battlefield. They’re coming from the rubble of a school in the Iranian city of Minab.

Operation Epic Fury
The United States and Israel are currently in the midst of a crucial operation to destroy the undisputed kingpins of Islamic terror, the Iranian regime. Iran is the head of the snake, and if the regime and its proxies like Hezbollah topple, we will have a new Middle East, not to mention a more secure America. We would also strike a massive blow against Islam’s advance.
Secretary of War Pete Hegseth on Friday provided a very encouraging update on Operation Epic Fury:

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth on Friday provided a very encouraging update on Operation Epic Fury:
Never before has a modern capable military, which Iran used to have, been so quickly destroyed and made combat ineffective, devastated.It is now desperation time for the Ayatollahs as they face their possible demise. That’s why they’re now trying to shut down the Strait of Hormuz and drive up oil and gas prices. They really have no good options left.
We said it would not be a fair fight and it has not been. As I stated during our first press conference on day two – that was 10 short days ago – the combination of the world’s two most powerful air forces is unprecedented and unbeatable. Between our Air Force and that of the Israelis, over 15,000 enemy targets have been struck. That’s well over 1,000 a day.
No other combination of countries in the world can do that. So today, as we speak, we fly over the top of Iran and Tehran, fighters and bombers all day, picking targets as they choose, as our intelligence gets better and better and more refined. Looking up, the IRGC and Iranian regime sees only two things on the side of aircraft: the stars and stripes and the Star of David, the evil regime’s worst nightmare.
Iran has no air defenses. Iran has no air force. Iran has no Navy. Their missiles, their missile launchers and drones being destroyed or shot out of the sky. Their missile volume is down 90%. Their one-way attack drones yesterday, down 95%.
Prophecy News Watch
By PNW Staff: Not long ago, millions of Americans grew up with a routine that today might sound quaint--Sunday morning church, Sunday evening service, and a midweek Bible study. For many families in the 1980s and 1990s, this rhythm of worship was not unusual. It was simply part of life.
But in parts of the Western world today, the same behavior is increasingly being viewed through a very different lens. In a growing number of legal battles--from Europe to the United States--Christian parents, foster families, and even churchgoers are finding themselves treated not as ordinary citizens exercising religious freedom, but as potential extremists.
The case of Daniel and Bianca Samson in Sweden is perhaps one of the most disturbing examples.
When Church Attendance Becomes “Extremism”
In 2022, Swedish authorities removed the Samson family's two daughters after an argument common in many households. The couple refused to allow their young daughter to wear makeup or have a smartphone. Upset, the girl reported alleged abuse at school--an accusation she later retracted. Prosecutors investigated and found no evidence of abuse.
One might assume the case would end there. It did not.
Instead, Swedish social services kept the girls in foster care and began labeling the parents "religious extremists." The evidence cited? The family attended church three times a week and maintained conservative Christian rules in their home.

Geller Report
By Pamela Geller: The surge of antisemitism on the right is deeply disturbing, and it is not hard to trace the source. Figures like Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, Megyn Kelly and their fellow travelers have driven a stake straight through the moral center of what was once a reliably pro-Israel, philo-Semitic political home.
For Jews like myself—proud, unapologetic Zionists who long felt safe and politically at home within the Republican Party—the shift is jarring. For decades, the locus of organized Jew-hatred in American politics was overwhelmingly on the left: among Democrats and the ideological alliance that increasingly includes Islamic movements and their Western enablers.
To see that poison now metastasizing on the right is not merely disappointing—it is profoundly alarming.
So it is no small comfort that Republicans would close their University of Florida chapter over antisemitism. At least the right is pushing back, fighting this scourge, this awful poison. The left, on the other hand, is embracing it.

Sunday Night Prophecy Update! 03-15-26
The Truth Daily News: In this Sunday night prophecy update, Pastor Tom examines escalating global tensions involving Iran, Israel, and Ukraine, asking whether the world may already be entering the early stages of a wider global conflict. He discusses reports of an Iranian missile striking near the Temple Mount in Jerusalem and considers how growing instability in the Middle East, along with geopolitical involvement from nations such as Russia and China, could contribute to broader international escalation.
Pastor Tom also addresses controversial claims from figures like Tucker Carlson and connects current world events to biblical passages about the last days. Encouraging believers to remain watchful and grounded in Scripture, he points to Jesus’ teaching in Luke 12 about staying ready for His return and reminds viewers not to lose faith amid increasing deception and global turmoil. The program concludes with a continuation of his study through the Book of Ruth, highlighting themes of redemption and God’s providence.

Synopsis: Following the recent escalation of events between Iran, Israel, and the United States, many are wondering how these developments may fit into biblical prophecy and how to discern which narrative to follow. In our March 2026 Prophecy Update, we seek to filter through the noise by examining historical facts, breaking down current viewpoints, and seeing how these tensions might figure into the “wars and rumors of wars” Jesus speaks of in Matthew 24:6.
