Now The End Begins
Host And Founder Of ‘Now The End Begins’ Geoffrey Grider:
Combat Unit commanders have been accused of telling troops that Donald Trump is anointed by God and the war with Iran is to bring in Armageddon.
Well, it’s official, we’ve arrived in Crazy Town, and it’s exactly as you would expect it to be. Operation Epic Fury is revealing itself to be a hastily-arranged and very poorly planned operation that Trump now says could last for many months. And earlier today a religious watchdog group received over 200 complaints from soldiers being told by their Combat Unit commanders that President Trump has been ‘anointed to light the fire in Iran that will bring Armageddon and the return of Jesus Christ’. Wow, are we there already? It would seem so, Now don’t shoot the messenger, I don’t make the news, I’m just telling you what’s going on here on Day 2,178 of 15 Days To Flatten The Curve. It’s Christian Nationalism out of control.
If even a fraction of these reports are accurate that commanders inside the Department of War are framing geopolitical conflict as the spark that lights Armageddon and preparing troops for the return of Jesus Christ — then we are looking at something profoundly dangerous. Not because prophecy isn’t real, and not because Jesus Christ isn’t coming back. He absolutely is. But because the Church has no business trying to manufacture the Second Coming through military power. Let’s be absolutely clear: the return of Jesus Christ is not triggered by American foreign policy, presidential ambition, or battlefield rhetoric. The prophetic timeline is set by God Almighty, not by generals, politicians, or Christian Nationalist enthusiasm. Armageddon is not something a nation prepares for. It is something God executes on His schedule.
Christian Nationalism, at its core, attempts to merge the mission of the Church with the power of the State. It confuses patriotism with piety and assumes that America plays the central prophetic role in God’s end-times program. It does not. America joins all the other nations of the world to come against Israel. America is not Israel, the United States is not the New Jerusalem, and the United States Constitution, however wonderful we might think it to be, is not Scripture. If Donald Trump has been anointed by God to do anything, at this point, it looks like he might be the one to trigger WWIII.

Harbinger’s Daily
By David Bowen: On February 28, 2026, the world watched as United States and Israeli forces launched coordinated strikes against Iranian leadership targets and military infrastructure. Iran responded by unleashing a barrage of rockets toward Israel and nearby U.S. military installations. As precision strikes began dismantling more than 300 Iranian rocket launch systems, scenes emerged of Iranian citizens celebrating in the streets—hoping that decades of oppression might finally be nearing an end.
The Middle East once again stood at the epicenter of global tension. But for students of Bible prophecy, the question is not merely political—it is prophetic.
Iran: Shia Identity and Ideological Conflict
To understand Iran’s posture, one must understand the Sunni–Shia divide. The core distinction lies in the question of rightful succession after the death of Muhammad—who was the legitimate leader of the Islamic community?
Iran is overwhelmingly Shia—over 90% of its population. Shia Muslims also form majorities in Yemen, Azerbaijan, Bahrain (over 60%), and Iraq (over 65%), with significant communities in Lebanon. Hezbollah, Iran’s most powerful proxy in Lebanon, is Shia.
While Shia Muslims represent roughly 10–15% of the global Muslim population, the Iranian regime has shaped a revolutionary ideology that blends theology with political militancy. It is not merely national policy—it is deeply embedded belief. This is why negotiations often stall and eventually fail. When belief and governance are fused, compromise becomes difficult.

Prophecy News Watch
By Khaled Abu Toameh/Gatestone Institute: Shortly after airstrikes on Iran began on February 28, several Palestinian groups, including Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ), issued strong condemnations of Israel and the US and voiced support for the Iranian regime. They also called on Arabs and Muslims to stand united against Israel and the US.
Palestinian support for the Iranian regime did not come as a surprise. For decades, the Iranian regime had provided significant financial and military support to both Hamas and PIJ. This backing is a cornerstone of Iran's "Axis of Resistance" strategy, which aims to project regional influence to counter Israeli and US interests in the Middle East.
In the past, the Palestinians supported Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein's 1990 invasion of Kuwait.
In 2003, the Palestinians took to the streets to voice support for Saddam Hussein against the US invasion. Some of them chanted, "Dear Saddam, bomb Tel Aviv." Many Palestinians have also sided with the Iran-backed Hezbollah terror group in previous rounds of fighting with Israel.
Consequently, the Palestinians lost the backing of several Arab countries, including those that used to provide them with financial aid, especially Saudi Arabia and Kuwait.

Israel 365 News
By Luke Moon: I remember a few years ago sitting with an Ethiopian Jewish woman whose father was rescued as part of Operation Moses. She told about how her father was surprised by the celebration of Purim. In his Jewish community in Ethiopia, they had the prayer and fasting for Esther which was the decree mentioned in the fourth chapter of Esther. However, the news of Esther’s success in persuading King Xerxes not to allow the Jews to be killed never reached Ethiopia. So, every year they would fast and pray for Esther. While in Israel, every year people celebrate the victory over Haman.
For those who have never read the story of Esther, it takes place about 2500 years ago in what is now Iran. King Xerxes ruled over the largest empire at the time. His queen upset him, so he got rid of her and brought in another who just so happened to be Jewish. The new queen’s uncle, Mordecai, acquired a position of influence, but his rival, Haman, persuaded the King that all the Jews needed to be killed because they weren’t loyal. Haman sent a letter in the king’s name for all the Jews to be killed. Mordecai persuaded Esther to have an audience with the king, but it could cost her her life if she was not granted a pardon. As all the Jews fasted and prayed, Esther went before the king, received the pardon, and appealed to him to spare the Jews. In the end Haman is killed, Mordecai is honored, and the Jews are spared.
Rarely in life do things unfold in such a timely way as they do in the book of Esther. We often pray as the Jews in Ethiopia did for Esther – never knowing that the prayer was answered, or if we do see the answer, it came much later than we expected.
For 47 years, the Islamist Iranian regime of the Ayatollah Khamenei has called for “Death to America” and “Death to Israel”. They killed and maimed thousands of Americans, but they had a special hatred for Israel. For nearly five decades, Iran funded proxies on all the borders of Israel and beyond. The axis of evil arrayed on many fronts: Hezbollah in Lebanon, the Assad regime in Syria, Hamas in Gaza, the Houthis in Yemen, and American agitators on campuses across the US.

Geller Report
By Pamela Geller: FOX reporting a Michigan mosque held a memorial service to honor Ayatollah Khamenei for his “martyrdom”
The imam then called the U.S. military “evil”
You will never guess who this imam is…
A good friend of the Democratic Party.
There is something fundamentally wrong With the Democrat party. They are the enemy of the US and must be treated as such.

By Daniel Greenfield: While tens of thousands of protesters were being killed in Iran, many of them authentic feminists, young women demanding equal rights and freedom from the oppressive compulsory ‘hijab’, the Women’s March remained silent. So did the National Organization for Women.
The Women’s March stayed quiet as young women in Iran were gang raped by masked men at gunpoint, much as it had remained quiet during the rapes by Iran’s Hamas allies on Oct 7.
Instead the social media feed for the Women’s March and the National Organization for Women were filled with hysterical attacks on ICE for deporting rapists like Yonis Mohamud, a Somali who had kidnapped and raped a woman in Ohio, Shayan Kahhal, whose record listed sex assaults and the sodomy of a woman, a girl and a boy in Virginia, and Asirullah Khalid-Khan, a rapist from Afghanistan, taken into custody in Austin, Texas.

Jihad Watch
By Robert Spencer: Imagine how the Islamic Republic of Iran’s authorities would deal with a church in Iran that praised Trump and said that Iran was on stolen land controlled by people who worship the devil. Now, the U.S. is not an authoritarian state as of yet, despite the Democrats’ best efforts, and does not deal violently with dissidents, but what should American authorities do about the Hadi Institute? They will almost certainly do nothing, and maybe nothing can or should be done, as they’re just talking at this point, but at some point the issue will come to a head: the people at this mosque hate America as it is currently constituted. They want to see the American system replaced with Sharia. The longer American authorities turn a blind eye, the more this initiative will advance.

Today in Prophecy 03-04-26
The Truth Daily News: Pastor Tom Hughes begins with a powerful moment of worship coming from a bomb shelter in Jerusalem, where a group led by Pastor Walter Colace continues praising Jesus while taking refuge during the ongoing conflict. The story highlights faith and encouragement in the midst of war, as believers remain a witness to both Jews and others sheltering alongside them. Pastor Tom then discusses several cultural and political headlines—from controversial political rhetoric to troubling policies in Canada—contrasting them with encouraging reports of Iranians around the world celebrating the weakening of their oppressive regime.
Throughout the program, he reminds viewers that despite confusion and deception in the world, the ultimate hope for believers remains in Jesus Christ, the truth of God’s Word, and the promises of Bible prophecy that point to Christ’s return.
