Many noted the absence of any public message for Easter from Britain’s king and ‘head’ of the Church of England, in distinct contrast to his published blessing the start of Ramadan!  What a contrast with President Trump’s formal message strongly focussed upon the scriptural significance of Jesus’ Resurrection!

However, POTUS’ subsequent threat to obliterate Iran caused very deep consternation. I noted British church friends took exception not only to that, but also to Revd Franklin Graham’s published letter briefly correcting and teaching the President about heaven!

So I continued discussing when a dear friend publicly commented “Trump’s completely lost the plot” and later saying going to war is contrary to Jesus’ teachings and agreeing with Pope Leo’s preaching from Isaiah 1:15 and Zechariah 9:9-10 that God “rejects” the prayers of warmongers!

I well recall the 6-day War of 1967 returning all Jerusalem to the Jewish people and later monitoring the Iranian regime and American presidents’ policies in the Middle-East – especially how President Trump operates – I offer this personal historical and biblical perspective.:

Trump is using the same ‘existential’ lingo as the Iranians!!  Thus, they know he knows them – which is the highest communication skill – like the Lord uses with us.

Now, as in my Bio Info: imagine watching a BBC documentary on Iran at war with Iraq, only to hear there’s a temporary cease-fire so elite units of both sides can rehearse storming Jerusalem to liberate it from and cleanse it of all Jews.

Simultaneously, you’re flicking through a gift book The Invisible Hand on geopolitical and religious history of the Middle-East and see a picture of Al-Aqsa mosque with drop-down connective list of verses from the Books of Daniel and Revelation, BUT you don’t know the Bible as you’ve spent 20 years in New Age practices.

Investigating over subsequent years, you discover the apocalyptical goals of Iran’s maniac mullahs needing a  World War III to bring about the return of their hidden 12th imam (Mahdi) with Jesus as second in command, being a prophet but not the Son of God and Jewish Messiah!!!

Hence, their multi-pronged command of massively armed proxy armies to attack Israel from all sides, and well-funded by Obama’s 2016 capitulation.

Now, 40 years later the world has a leader who TOO knew all that when you did, AND you know from the living Lord (NOT churchgoers) about his presidency and mission – were you then?

So no, Trump has NOT ‘completely lost the plot’ by talking of ending their civilisation for the simple reason he knows only too well their end-game.

SO, instead of mad mullahs’ constant “Death to Israel, Death to America!” declarations to end the civilisations of Israel and America, Trump is turning the tables on them!

Soon after the second discussion a Facebook friend’s most pertinent post popped onto my phone. It cites The Middle-East Forum’s following article:

Extract from Jules Gome’s report:
‘Weiss, a member of the Interreligious Committee for Relations with the Vatican, corrected Leo’s interpretation of Isaiah, explaining that the prophet’s words “were directed against injustice, corruption, and moral failure” and “not spoken to deny a people the right to protect themselves from annihilation.”

The rabbi, who signed a Vatican interfaith declaration in 2019 rejecting euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide, reminded Leo that Isaiah’s words “require careful application” precisely because they “carry immense moral weight.”

“A sweeping condemnation of ‘those who wage war,’ without distinction between aggressor and defender, risks creating a profound moral confusion,” Weiss emphasized. “It places those who seek to preserve life in the same category as those who seek to destroy it.”

The rabbi urged Leo to clarify “the moral difference” and “essential distinction” between “those who initiate violence and those who are compelled to defend the sanctity of life” in his future statements.

Israel is “not engaged in a war of choice” but “is confronting an existential threat from forces that have openly declared their intention to destroy it, and which have actively pursued the means to do so, including the development of weapons capable of devastating entire populations,” Weiss noted…’

I’m often blessed to receive soon afterwards directly relevant material relating to a topic in question, but more was yet to come first thing the very next morning (today), as in the next post…

It reminds us of the legal principle stated below and which is reasonably applied to what Holy Spirit gifted individuals receive from the Lord, and as the rationale behind Paul’s instruction upon delivery and weighing of public prophecies in 1 Corinthians 14:29-31

DEUTERONOMY 19:15

One witness is not enough to convict anyone accused of any crime or offense they may have committed. A matter must be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.
