Now The End Begins
Host And Founder Of ‘Now The End Begins’ Geoffrey Grider:
Trump’s Iran War Was Supposed To Show Strength But It Ended With Dead Soldiers, Dead Children, A Surviving Regime, And A ‘Paper Peace’ No One Can Explain
There it is, Donald Trump’s war with Iran has ended, but not with victory, regime change, the destruction of Iran’s wicked influence in the Middle East, or some grand masterstroke of “peace through strength,” but with a bewildering memorandum of understanding that leaves the Iranian regime standing, breathing, boasting, and preparing for whatever comes next. Trump’s Iran war should sober up every Christian who still believes that political power can save a collapsing world. It absolutely cannot. The old world system is not being restored. It is being prepared. Prepared for the revealing of the man of sin.
Iran is no innocent victim, the Iranian regime is wicked. It hates Israel, exports terror, persecutes its own people, arms proxies, and dreams of dominance in the region. But acknowledging Iran’s wickedness does not require pretending that every American military adventure is wisdom from above. Two things can be true at the same time: Tehran is evil, and Trump’s Iran war was a disastrous mistake. According to Sky’s Mark Stone, the White House announced that Trump had signed a memorandum aimed at ending the war with Iran, Iran’s foreign minister confirmed Tehran had signed it as well, and yet the whole thing was wrapped in confusion, contradictory timing, remote signatures, Versailles theatrics, and another expected signing still to come. That is not statesmanship, that’s diplomatic vaudeville with piles of dead bodies in the background.
For years, conservative Christians were told that Trump was the master negotiator, the consumate dealmaker, the man who alone could command the world stage. But this Iran episode reveals something far more sobering: the world stage is not a boardroom, the Middle East is not a casino development, and the enemies of Israel and the West are not impressed by branding. You do not bomb your way into clarity, stumble your way into a memorandum, and then call the rubble you created “peace.”
This is why NTEB has always warned you against confusing politics with prophecy and politicians with deliverers. For the past 17 years, we have been giving you the headlines through the filter of the King James Bible, but we never confuse the two. God is not working through the Republican Party to ‘bring in the kingdom’. God is not waiting for a MAGA foreign policy to fulfill His promises to Israel. Israel would absolutely still exist without Donald Trump, no matter how many times Trump says the opposite. God is not dependent on Trump, Macron, Netanyahu, the G7, NATO, the UN, or the Department of War. The Lord has His own calendar, His own covenants, His own prophetic program, and His own King coming back to rule and reign. Until then, the nations will continue doing what the nations do: wars, rumours of wars, making deals, breaking promises, burying victims, and calling it progress.

Trump’s signing of the Iran Peace Deal is a slap in the face to the memory of the 13 United States soldiers who gave their lives in the war he started.The most haunting line in the Sky News analysis is this: “So many school children died in Minab. For what?” Sky reports that Trump still would not admit the strike was America’s mistake, while Stone says sources told him that it was. That cuts through all the campaign slogans, all the phony tough-guy branding, all the red MAGA hats, all the applause lines, and all the cable-news spin. Children died, teachers died, and families were shattered. And for what? A paper agreement that does not end Iran’s malign influence, does not make America great again, and does not appear to have solved the thing the war was supposedly fought over.

By Amir Tsarfati: Have you ever had a person in your life that you greatly admire and respect do something that completely shocks you, and not in a good way? Your heart breaks; you wonder what’s happened. How could this person do these things? It makes no sense!
That is how I have felt these past few weeks as I’ve watched the actions taken by President Donald Trump. I love the man. He has done so much for my country, especially when it comes to how we’ve dealt with Gaza. But his recent decisions regarding Iran have left me baffled, angry, and just plain sad.
The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) that he has electronically signed onto is nothing short of an American capitulation to a vanquished Iranian enemy. Other than with Iran’s nuclear program, the USA, Israel, and the rest of the world are left in a weaker position against the Islamic regime than before hostilities ever began. In this article, I am going to give you a quick list of the Good, the Bad, and the Unknown when it comes to various items covered in the MoU.

Prophecy News Watch
By Joshua Arnold/Washington Stand: Brazilian parents Audato and Ieda Denardi are appealing a lower court's ruling that sentenced them to 50 days in prison for homeschooling their daughters. Homeschooling has no clear legal framework in the nation and is often treated as an administrative offense, so the Denardis are the first parents in Brazil to face criminal conviction for homeschooling. The prison sentence handed down from a São Paulo court in April 2026 is suspended while ADF International appeals the ruling to the state's highest court.
The judge found the parents guilty of "intellectual neglect" because their home education curriculum lacked instruction on "gender and sex education" and "tolerance and diversity" to match the curriculum found in public schools. Apparently, the intellects of young Brazilians cannot develop properly unless subjected to transgender indoctrination and instruction that amounts to Marxist-infused racism.
The judge also found that the home curriculum failed to educate the girls (aged 15 and 11) in cultural diversity because they did not like "trap" or "sertanejo" (folk) music. Specifically, the "fifteen-year-old said she finds some music lyrics morally questionable," said Julio Pohl, ADF International legal counsel for Latin America. However, the girls could both play the piano and speak multiple languages, suggesting that they had a sort of cultural education -- just not the low-brow type the judge expected.

Israel 365 News
By Adam Eliyahu Berkowitz: Archaeologists working at Tel ‘Eton in the Judean Shephelah did not realize, at first, what they had found. They thought the layer of stone was simply rubble from a collapsed wall. They began clearing it away, one stone at a time, until they reached something far too heavy to lift. Only after they considered breaking it apart and then changed their minds did the team realize they were looking at a massebah, a standing cult stone weighing roughly 750 kilograms and rising 1.4 meters. That discovery, now published in the Hebrew University’s peer-reviewed Jerusalem Journal of Archaeology, may be the strongest physical evidence yet for one of the most contested episodes in the Bible: King Hezekiah’s campaign to abolish idolatrous worship throughout Judah.
The study’s author, Prof. Avraham Faust of Bar-Ilan University’s Department of General History, excavated the stone from the largest room of a grand four-room residence at Tel ‘Eton, a site in the Judean lowlands roughly twenty miles southeast of Ashkelon. The building, identified by archaeologists as a governor’s residence, was constructed in the late eleventh or early tenth century BCE and stood for generations before the Assyrian army destroyed it during the campaign of 712 B.C.
The stone had originally been positioned directly opposite the home’s entrance, where it would have been visible to anyone standing in the courtyard outside. “The location of the stone suggests that it played an important role in the lives of the building’s occupants,” Faust said. Standing stones of this kind were common throughout the ancient Near East. “Their exact meaning is debated,” Faust noted, “but all scholars agree that they were used in religious contexts.”

By Daniel Greenfield: Stunning numbers from the CNN/SSRS poll I mentioned earlier.
“Which best describes your approach to following pop culture and entertainment, such as music, movies, TV shows, books or celebrities?”
Only 10% said that they “frequently seek out the latest in pop culture”
Another 30% said “I follow major developments in pop culture, but don’t seek them out”.
36% said, “I only pay as much attention to pop culture as necessary.”
Another 23% said, “I don’t follow pop culture at all”.
These numbers aren’t great for the culture industry. But here’s where it gets interesting...

End Of The American Dream
By Michael Snyder: Why is there so much excitement about an agreement with Iran that literally resolves none of the key issues that the two sides were fighting about? The long-term status of the Strait of Hormuz is not resolved. The war between Israel and Hezbollah is not resolved. Nobody seems to have any idea where the 300 billion dollar “investment fund” for Iran is going to come from, and none of the nuclear issues that this war was supposedly about in the first place have been resolved either. So what in the world did the “Memorandum of Understanding” actually accomplish?
Yes, the “Memorandum of Understanding” is supposed to open up the Strait of Hormuz for a period of 60 days.
But as I pointed out a few days ago, Iranian leaders have told us over and over again that once the 60 day period has ended, a “maritime service fee” will be imposed on all ships that travel through the Strait of Hormuz.
Any ships that are not willing to pay up will have to face the wrath of the Iranian military.
But U.S. officials are telling us an entirely different story.

Synopsis: God has already determined that nations will be judged based on how they treat Israel. As the world moves closer to the Tribulation, hostility toward the Jewish people will intensify, and the removal of the restrainer will unleash unprecedented evil.
