Harbinger’s Daily
By Jack Hibbs: I believe it’s safe to say that every true believer in the Lord Jesus Christ has their confidence in Christ, and what’s also true is that we have a firm assurance in the validity and accuracy of the Scriptures. With that said, what many people are feeling and saying about Israel amid rising geopolitical tensions, resurgent antisemitism and questions about how Christians should think about the Jewish homeland and the Jewish people must be tested against the Bible.
Just as the church has been tested throughout the ages as to whether or not it would obey God’s Word, so today the church is undergoing a time of purification and separation, not unlike what Jesus prophesied would happen as we enter deeper into the Last Days prior to His appearing.
We all watched as believers, churches and denominations dealt with the COVID pandemic, the Black Lives Matter movement, the movement to redefine gender and sexuality, and then the DEI movement. And yet, we’re seeing an even bigger test today—what I would call The Israel Test—to reveal what we really believe about what I regard as clear Biblical teaching. I am, of course, talking about the replacement theology movement that has surfaced yet again.
Replacement theology is nothing new; in fact, from the beginning, Satan has sought to replace God’s Kingdom with his own. It was Satan who visited Jesus in the wilderness and offered Him a replacement—the kingdoms of this world if Jesus would bow down and worship him. The replacement, reproduction, reinvention and redefining tactics of Satan have always been a predictable scheme. Satan has always sought to either twist the Scriptures or to prevent their prophetic fulfillment. Sadly, in many quarters Biblical theology has given way to emotional theology, which is anything but clear.
Simply put, replacement theology teaches that the church has replaced Israel in God’s redemptive plan. Those who believe in replacement theology believe the Jews are no longer God’s chosen people, and that God no longer has a specific future plan for the Jews or the nation of Israel or His Promised Land.

Prophecy News Watch
By PNW Staff: For decades, Israel's intelligence services have cultivated a reputation that borders on myth. Enemies whisper about it. Allies study it. And adversaries across the Middle East fear it. The stunning operation that eliminated Iran's supreme leader, Ali Khamenei, appears to have added yet another astonishing chapter to that reputation -- a daring mission built not just on advanced technology, but on patience, infiltration, and deception worthy of the most sophisticated spy thriller.
What unfolded in Tehran was not simply a missile strike. It was the culmination of years -- perhaps decades -- of intelligence gathering, cyber infiltration, psychological warfare, and careful timing that allowed Israel to strike the very center of Iran's power structure with surgical precision.
A Masterclass in Deception
The most remarkable detail may be how the operation began: with something that looked utterly ordinary.
On the Friday evening before the strike, Israeli military leadership appeared to shut down operations for the weekend in observance of the Jewish Sabbath. Senior commanders were photographed leaving Israel's central military headquarters in Tel Aviv. Images circulated suggesting that the military leadership was heading home for Shabbat dinner with their families.
To any Iranian intelligence observers watching from afar, it appeared the Israeli military had gone quiet.
But it was a carefully constructed illusion.
Once darkness fell, many of those same commanders quietly returned to headquarters -- some reportedly entering in disguise -- to coordinate one of the most audacious strikes in modern intelligence history. The deception worked. Iranian leaders believed the moment of danger had passed and felt safe enough to gather in Tehran.
That was exactly what Israel was waiting for.

Geller Report
By Geller Report Staff: It’s about time President Trump distanced himself from the vicious Jew-hater Tucker Carlson. Tucker Carlson is the antithesis of MAGA, and he is a cancer to the Republican Party. President Trump should ostracize Carlson altogether.

By Daniel Greenfield: Few Americans want another war. We’re tired of wars. Especially wars in the Middle East. Unfortunately the Islamic terrorists who have been killing us for 50 years aren’t tired.
No one was more tired of war, and just plain tired, than Joe Biden. After 9/11, Biden proposed, “this would be a good time to send, no strings attached, a check for $200 million to Iran.”
In 2002, he addressed the American Iranian Council whose founder had run for the presidency of Iran. Later that year, Biden was raising big money from Iran supporters and urging that Iran be allowed to join the WTO. In 2007, Biden warned that if Bush bombed Iran, he would impeach him. A year later, he told Israelis that they would have to accept Iran’s nuclear program.
A spokesman for an Iranian student democracy group warned that Biden’s campaigns “have been financed by Islamic charities of the Iranian regime based in California.” “Biden’s political games have made him Tehran’s favorite senator,” a Washington Post op-ed noted.

By Robert Spencer: The idea that these breeds must be banned because they are unhealthy is ridiculous on its face. Beagles and dachshunds and Scottish terriers and great danes and so many other breeds that have been known and loved in Britain and the U.S. from time immemorial are suddenly unhealthy and have to be banned? It is much more likely that shattered, staggering, dhimmi Britain’s far-left government is once again engaging in Islamopandering on a massive scale.
Islam hates dogs, and Muhammad, according to Islamic tradition, ordered them killed.
“Once Gabriel promised the Prophet (that he would visit him, but Gabriel did not come) and later on he said, ‘We, angels, do not enter a house which contains a picture or a dog.’” — Sahih Bukhari 4.54.50
“Abdullah (b. Umar) (Allah be pleased with them) reported: Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) ordered the killing of dogs and we would send (men) in Medina and its corners and we did not spare any dog that we did not kill, so much so that we killed the dog that accompanied the wet she-camel belonging to the people of the desert.” — Sahih Muslim 3811

Leo Hohmann’s Newsletter
By Leo Hohmann: Is President Donald Trump on a mission from God to relaunch a new Crusade or some type of “holy war” in the Middle East, in an effort to jump-start Bible prophecies that some Christians are impatient to see fulfilled?
If the reports we are hearing are true, and they are coming from credible sources, that’s either the case, or something more profane and callous is afoot.
A range of commanders across all branches of the U.S. military are reportedly telling their troops not to fear a war with Iran because “President Trump has been anointed by Jesus” to “light the signal fire” that will lead to “Armageddon and the return of Jesus Christ.”
A complaint was filed by a non-commissioned officer and provided to the Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF), which from Saturday morning through Monday evening received and logged more than 110 complaints about commanders in every branch of the military putting forth these troubling messages to their troops. The number of complaints had doubled as of Tuesday.
