Now The End Begins
Host And Founder Of ‘Now The End Begins’ Geoffrey Grider:
The United States is facing increasing risks to its military forces and diplomatic presence in the Middle East as Iran is launching waves of missile and drone attacks across the region that are testing its ability to defend a swath of territory.
Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Dan Caine had advised President Trump and top officials that a military campaign against Iran could carry significant risks, in particular the possibility of becoming entangled in a prolonged conflict, Trump brushed that advice off and said it would be an easy win. Now only 5 days into the conflict, it’s looking like Trump should have taken his general’s advice. Estimates have gone from days, to weeks, and now months before Operation Epic Fury might conclude. Are we looking at Gulf War 3? Are we looking at World War 3? Everything is on the table right now.
Pray for the brave men and women of our military, they have been put in harm’s way, and to date 6 soldiers have died in Operation Epic Fury. Iran is putting up much more resistance than Secretary of War Pete Hegseth led us to believe. In fact, the United States government closed its embassies in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait on Tuesday and ordered nonessential staff in several other countries to evacuate as Iran expanded its retaliatory attacks on U.S. targets in the Gulf region. Worse than that, after last year’s strike on Iran, the Department of War failed to restock its supply of missile interceptors which hover right now at a dangerously low point. It’s looking more and more likely that ground troops will be needed to complete the mission, something that I do not think the American public wants to see.
I love our military, and support them 1,000% percent, but they have been put into a highly unfavorable position with the ‘Lethalitymaxxing’ grandstanding nonsense of incompetents like Pete Hegseth and his cosplay war machine warrior ethos marketing. We need real leaders or this thing could go very bad very fast. Now is the time to pray for our leaders, that God would save them and give them His wisdom, and pray for America who just may be drawn into a war that nobody wants on our 250th anniversary.

Harbinger’s Daily
By Greg Laurie: The death of the Ayatollah has sent shockwaves through the Middle East. Many Iranians are rejoicing around the world, hoping this marks the end of decades of oppression.
This regime has backed terror groups like Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis, and has persecuted its own people—including Christians. Yet despite intense opposition, Christianity has grown dramatically in Iran through house churches and underground believers. Persecution often fuels spiritual awakening.
Remember, modern-day Iran is ancient Persia—the land of Esther, Daniel, and King Cyrus, whom God called His “anointed” in Isaiah 45. God has worked in that nation before.
Iran is not simply a political talking point, but what many, including myself, believe is a land of biblical significance. Iran (ancient Persia) is considered a major player in end times prophecy.
So—is this Bible prophecy unfolding? While Scripture tells us not to set dates (but to watch and be ready), any turmoil in this part of the world should cause us to sit up.

Prophecy News Watch
By PNW Staff: Fourteen countries. That is how many evacuation alerts the United States has now issued as this rapidly expanding conflict with Iran deepens. Fourteen warnings do not signal a short, surgical campaign. They signal preparation. They signal escalation. They signal that Washington believes what comes next may be bigger than anything we have seen so far.
And then came the words that sent shockwaves through Washington and beyond.
In a recent interview with Jake Tapper, President Donald Trump reportedly suggested that "the big one is coming." According to Tapper's account, the president projected that this military operation could last "about a month," while cautioning that the timetable is fluid. He also hinted that more U.S. casualties may be ahead.
Those are not throwaway lines. They are signals.
Because if the United States and Israel have already eliminated Iran's long-tenured supreme leader, Ali Khamenei, along with significant portions of the regime's upper command, what exactly qualifies as "the big one"?

By Shelley Neese: The Book of Esther is the only book in the Hebrew Bible in which God is never named. Because of the absence of the divine name, Jewish sages spent centuries debating whether the book even belonged in the Bible. To them, a holy text without a single mention of God felt out of place in a sacred collection. The irony, however, is that while God’s name is missing, his hand guides every unlikely twist and turn of the narrative. The writer shows that even a dramatic series of “coincidences” can be divinely orchestrated.
Two thousand years later, it is impossible to ignore God’s hand once again in the fall of an evil Persian regime. The surprise air strikes by U.S. and Israeli forces that succeeded in killing Ayatollah Ali Khamenei happened on the eve of Purim—the holiday celebrating Esther and Mordecai’s success in rescuing the Jewish people from a genocidal plot. The headlines acknowledging the death of the primary leaders in the Islamic Republic may not have mentioned God, but the timing has divine fingerprints all over it.
Every year on the Sabbath before Purim, Jews read Parshat Zachor, the “Portion of Remembrance,” from Deuteronomy 25. This text commands the people to “remember what Amalek did to you” and to “blot out the memory” of their ancient enemy:

Geller Report
By Atlas Shrugs: Given all that has happened over the last few days, the Islamic regime that Ali Ahmad Khomeini’s grandfather founded may never get that chance. But make no mistake: the Islamic nation worldwide will keep trying to destroy Israel, because it’s taught in the Qur’an that the Jews are the worst enemies of the Muslims (5:82) and that the Muslims must “drive them out from where they drove you out” (2:191). The Israelis really didn’t drive out the Arabs; the Arab Higher Committee told the Arabs to leave in 1948. But the last was once ruled by Islamic law and so according to that same law, it belongs to Islam forever.

By Daniel Greenfield: Is having large Islamic communities who support terrorism within the D.C. bedroom community area a good idea?
Luke Rosiak of the Daily Wire reported that the Manassas Mosque in Virginia, which is around 30 miles away from the White House, had posted a eulogy calling Iran’s Supreme Leader, now dead, “our leader”, and described his death as a “martyrdom”.
The mosque, which according to Rosiak, is funded by a front group for the Iranian regime, had praised Hamas, and the daughter-in-law of the mosque’s imam, claimed that “they just canonized Kahmenei [sic]. And they really have no idea what they’ve unleashed upon themselves. It is exactly in moments like this that resistance fighter are born.”
Should an enemy outpost like this operate within driving distance of the Pentagon, the CIA and the White House?
Would Iran ever allow a pro-American church to operate in Tehran? Yet we allow pro-Iran mosques right here.

Last week, I was shocked to find that Trump’s "meme coin” had morphed into a $13 billion empire after starting with $0 in September 2024. It’s called World Liberty Financial (WLF), and the crypto token is called USD1. In the interim, the Trump boys have scored a major deal with Pakistan :

“On January 14, 2026, WLF signed a strategic agreement with the Government of Pakistan via SC Financial Technologies to integrate USD1 into Pakistan’s regulated digital payment architecture for cross-border payments. This is the first sovereign-level adoption of USD1 and signals the platform’s ambition to become a global dollar settlement layer for emerging markets — bypassing traditional correspondent banking entirely.”This is a huge story, perhaps the biggest of the 21st century.

Hope For Our Times
Unbelievable! A Purim Moment In Real Time
Synopsis: In this powerful episode of Hope For Our Times, Pastor Tom Hughes welcomes Dr. Hormoz Shariat of Iran Alive Ministries to discuss the historic political and spiritual shifts unfolding in Iran. Dr. Shariat shares firsthand insight into the weakening of Iran’s regime, the remarkable spiritual awakening happening through underground house churches, and the growing openness among Iranians toward Jesus—citing surveys showing widespread disillusionment with Islam and overwhelming positivity toward Christ. He recounts how believers are courageously serving, evangelizing, and caring for the wounded amid persecution, while preparing for a potential future where churches could operate freely.
Together, they frame current events through a prophetic lens, emphasizing the spiritual battle behind global tensions, the hope of regime change, and the opportunity for believers to partner with God in what may be a transformative moment for Iran, Israel, and the Middle East.

Behold Israel
A Warning To Anti-Zionists
Amir Tsarfati: The land of Zion belongs to the people of Zion. That’s not politics, it’s Scripture. When critics say the Jewish people don’t belong in Israel, they’re not arguing with a government. They’re arguing with God.

He was an IDF officer (hostage negotiator) and the former Deputy Governor of Jericho. He is an Israeli tour guide, a well-known author, and the Founder and President of ‘Behold Israel,’ a Christian ministry with a world-wide outreach.
