Ezekiel Coalition is Formed

 This is all happening for the first time in human history.  We are seeing the promises of scripture play out in front of our own eyes. “When you SEE all these things beginning to happen, then lift up your heads (look up) because your redemption (rapture-blessed hope) is near.”  

We are the people that are seeing all these things.  No one else has.

***********************

Everyone here in the Middle East continues in our hold pattern as the United States and Iran decide what they’re going to do about each other. Other countries, such as Turkey, Qatar, and Russia, are throwing in their two shekels of advice and warnings. Here in Israel, we saw our Prime Minister take his sixth trip to Washington, seventh to the US, where he held a three-hour meeting with the American President. Meanwhile, back home, our military continued its preparations for a brief and violent visit to Iran. In other words, it’s kind of business as usual.

There’s one more area where we can see business as usual. This world continues to rapidly move toward the great war promised in Ezekiel 38-39. Over this past century, we have been witnesses of the fulfillment of Ezekiel 36-37 taking place. God promised that He would bring His people back to the land, and in 1948, Israel became a nation once again. And who was the country filled with? Jews, exactly as God promised through Ezekiel when He said to the mountains of Israel, “But you, O mountains of Israel, you shall shoot forth your branches and yield your fruit to My people Israel, for they are about to come” (Ezekiel 36:8).

The land is not promised to the Arabs, it’s not promised to the Turks, and, believe it or not, it’s not promised to the Church. Trust me, I live here. We welcome Arabs and Turks, and our doors are wide open for Christians. I know, I am a believer in Yeshua living in Israel. This land was promised to the physical descendants of Abraham back in Genesis, and God always keeps His promises.

“But, Amir, God also says through Ezekiel that when the people come back, He will put His Spirit in them and they will walk in His statutes. Did God forget that part?” First of all, snarkiness noted. Second, unless you’ve been in Tel Aviv during Pride Month, you have no clue how bad it can get here in Israel. However, rather than your statement lending credence to an analogical interpretation of Ezekiel’s prophecies, it is an amazingly cool affirmation that we are in an era when prophecy is being fulfilled. For centuries, defenders of Scripture felt the need to concoct wild doctrinal theories explaining all the end times prophecies surrounding the nation of Israel for the simple reason that there was no nation of Israel.

But now Israel’s back, baby! It’s okay to let go of all the replacement notions and analogy interpretations. Let go of your presuppositions and quit trying to read between the lines. Stop asking what the authors really meant and just read what they wrote. When you do, you’ll realize that with the Jewish people back in the land, Ezekiel makes perfect sense, and we can see that we are living in the era when prophecy is being fulfilled at a rate not experienced in 2000 years. It’s truly staggering!

As you read through this article, keep Ezekiel in mind. Once again, chapters 36-37 have been and continue to be fulfilled. And all the alliances needed for the war of chapters 38-39 are coming together exactly as was prophesied. What a time to be alive!

Netanyahu in DC – Again!

As I mentioned above, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu flew to Washington on Tuesday to meet with US government officials. Originally scheduled for the end of the month, the PM moved up the short, 42-hour trip due to the urgency of the Iranian situation. There is a concern that the scope of negotiations with Iran is quickly contracting. According to Vice President J.D. Vance, “What we are focusing on right now is that Iran will not have nuclear weapons.” Netanyahu’s agenda, however, is much wider, adding to the nuclear issue such topics as limiting Iran’s ballistic missile range, dismantling the proxy militias, and having strict, verifiable oversight within the nation. According to the PM, Iran has a stockpile of 1800-2000 missiles just waiting to be fired toward Israel.

When the three-hour meeting ended, President Trump said that no decisions had been reached, but both he and the PM agreed that negotiations must continue. Iran has already said that, when it comes to deals, the nuclear program is off the table. What I believe will happen is that there will be a limited strike, which will force Iran to negotiate regarding their nuclear program. Will their concessions be in good faith? I doubt it. What will not happen, I believe, is a regime change, nor will there be justice for the more than 40,000 Iranian protesters who have lost their lives. 

Iran’s Justification for Killing Protesters

Speaking of the 40,000 dead Iranians, according to Hesamuddin Haerizadeh, a regime security strategist, their massacre was necessary to purify Iran from non-Muslims. I know that for most westerners, that statement is jaw-dropping. As a Middle Easterner, though, it sadly makes a lot of sense. We’ll ignore the fact that most all the dead were Muslims, although many were from minority tribes. To understand Haerizadeh’s statement, we must remember that Muslims do not derive their morality from inherent truths, internal conscience, or even from the Quran. Their standards for living are based solely on how Muhammad lived his life, as recorded in the Hadith and other writings. If Muhammad did something, it is right.

When one looks at the life of Muhammad, the man’s actions became more violent and legalistic as he gained power. Muhammad killed infidels, therefore it is right to kill infidels and wrong not to kill infidels. Muhammad subjugated women, therefore it is right to subjugate women and wrong not to subjugate women. Muhammad required unquestioned obedience to his orders, therefore Muslims must unquestionably obey the orders they are given by their religious leaders. To the Islamist mind, killing the 40,000 was not wrong, and the killers should not feel bad about it. In fact, the exact opposite is true. It should be celebrated as an act of righteous obedience. Now, take what I’ve just written and apply it to Hamas and what was done on October 7. Do you now understand better why we can never allow them to weaponize again?

Hamas is Not Giving Up

On Sunday, Khaled Mashal, the Hamas leader abroad, spoke to the 17th Al Jazeera Forum in Doha, Qatar. He insisted that Hamas will not disarm but will instead store weapons for later use. According to Mashal, Turkey, Qatar, and Egypt all agree with this approach. In addition, he claimed that the ceasefire will only last for 5-10 years before hostilities will once again resume, and he praised the October 7 massacre for opening a path to establishing a Palestinian state. If you’re wondering how any sane person could speak in such a way, read my previous story about Iran’s justification for killing the protesters. Is it any wonder that Prime Minister Netanyahu is so determined to finish the job against Hamas?

The 2026 Judea-Samaria Land Reform

The West Bank is a political term. The true name of the region is Judea and Samaria, and that’s what we call it here in Israel. From 1948-1967, the area was controlled by Jordan. But when Israel soundly defeated the Arab alliance in the Six-Day War, the sovereignty over the region was returned to Jerusalem, where it belonged. Then came the Oslo Accords in the early 1990s, when the land of the West Bank was separated out for the Palestinian Authority. Since that time, Israel has been afraid to purchase land in the area and to carry out perfectly legal activities.

Unfortunately, the West Bank has been a constant source of terrorism perpetrated by Hamas, the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and other groups. This has crescendoed following the October 7 attacks. Israel has had enough and has passed a three-pillar reform allowing Israelis access, registry transparency, purchase rights, and verified ownership data, among other normal business practices. Immediately, this action was condemned by Arab nations, who still hold out empty hopes for a two-state solution – or who regularly use the two-state solution as a political weapon. Essentially, what this action accomplishes is to put a final stake through the heart of a potential Palestinian state.

I’ve Got a Friend in You

The alliance between the United States and Israel remains strong. In the American 2026 National Defense Strategy, Israel was identified as a model ally. Unfortunately, because I know Scripture, I recognize that this close international relationship will one day fall apart.

There is another alliance whose ties get stronger by the day. Turkey, Russia, and Iran have united to form a close-knit relationship. Surprisingly, the Saudis are beginning to pal around with this alliance. There’s nothing formal, because Tehran and Riyadh hate each other for many reasons. But the Saudis are still Arab, and if Iran falls then there is no more strong foil against Israel in the Middle East. We know that during the Ezekiel War, Saudi Arabia – known as Sheba and Dedan – will watch and tsk-tsk the armies approaching Israel. But they will not help either side. For Saudi Arabia now, though, the enemy of my enemy keeps my enemy’s attention in a direction other than me. Meanwhile, Turkey is forming alliances in Africa. Along with their Middle Eastern relationships with the Saudis and the Jordanians, they are becoming close with Libya, Sudan, Eritrea, Somalia, and others. A number of these countries are mentioned in the Ezekiel War axis of evil.

As I wrote when I began this article, prophecy is being fulfilled before our eyes. The necessary alliances for the Ezekiel War aren’t forming, they’re already formed. The time is close.

Biggest Housing Bubble Ever??

 We all know that home ownership has now become nearly impossible for the younger generation.  Owning a home used to be part of the American dream.  Get married, buy a house, have some kids, work hard and save some money.  That was the formula.

But today that isn't the case.  Many young women have no desire for marriage or kids.  And many young folks realize they will never have a salary of $300,000 that you would need to qualify for a starter home in Bozeman or Buffalo.

But can these inflated home prices really survive?  Or could we be on the verge of a major correction?

No one really knows...but this guy says we might be there.

The housing bubble that burst during the Great Recession was enormous, but it was nothing compared to what we are facing now.  Two decades ago, the average price of a home in the United States was about $140,000.  Today, the average price of a home in the United States is above $500,000.  We have literally never seen anything even close to a housing bubble of this magnitude.  Unfortunately, what comes up must eventually come down.

Just like we witnessed during the Great Recession, home sales have started to crash.

In January, sales of previously owned homes were 8.4 percent lower than they were in December…

Sales of previously owned homes in January dropped a much wider-than-expected 8.4% from December to a seasonally adjusted, annualized rate of 3.91 million, according to the NAR. Sales were 4.4% lower than January 2025. That is the slowest pace since December 2023 and the biggest monthly drop since February 2022.

This count is based on closings, so contracts that were likely signed in November and December, when the average rate on the 30-year fixed mortgage didn’t move much before dropping slightly in January. That rate is now 6.1%, according to Mortgage News Daily.

Regionally, sales fell across the nation month to month but were down the most in the South and West.

Sales of previously owned homes have been at a depressed level for years, and now things are getting even worse.

It is a really bad time to be a real estate agent in America.  So many really good agents are deeply struggling right now.

One of the primary reasons why home sales are so low is because home prices are way too high.

Over a 20 year period, the average price of a home in the United States increased from about $140,000 to more than $503,000…

While there have been periods of rising and falling home values, the end result is this: In the past 20 years, the average home price in the U.S. has grown from about $140,000 to about $503,800 as of 2025.

That is what a bubble looks like.

If you can believe it, the median value of a home in Montana grew by two-thirds in just four years…

Montana’s typical home value has increased by two-thirds in four years, according to new valuations published this month by the Montana Department of Revenue.

The department estimates that the median residential property in Montana was worth $378,000 as of the beginning of last year. Four years previously, before the state housing market blew up during the COVID-19 pandemic, the median value was $228,000 — meaning values have increased 66%.

Palestinians and The Temple Mount

 I encourage you to go to the link and read the entire article.  Any news about The Temple Mount is important to understand for prophecy watchers because Israel is God’s timepiece. Jerusalem is the minute hand on that clock and the Temple Mount is the second hand…and lately it’s been clicking away very fast.

********************

• That such a large number of Muslims are able to pray at the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem every week shows that Hamas's claim that the Jews are desecrating the mosque and plotting to control it is another big lie produced by the terror group and its supporters.

• It is worth noting that Jews do have a right to visit the Temple Mount, primarily because it is also the holiest site in Judaism, where the First and Second Temples once stood.

• [T]he arrangement set up in 1967 allowed non-Muslims to visit the Temple Mount but restricted praying there to Muslims.

• Ten days after the Six Day War, Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Dayan, out of respect for Muslim concerns, forbade Jews to pray on the Temple Mount and proclaimed the Kingdom of Jordan the protector of the holy site.

• Non-Muslims, including Jews and Christians, regularly tour outdoors on the grounds of the Temple Mount but, since 2000, have not been allowed to enter inside the Al-Aqsa Mosque or the Dome of the Rock.

• Palestinian officials and media outlets regularly and falsely portray the visits as "violent incursions by extremist Jewish settlers." It is worth recalling that to many Palestinians, all Jews in Israel are "settlers" and that, in their eyes, all of Israel is just one big settlement.

• It is abhorrent to see the Palestinians and many Muslims use a mosque -- especially falsely -- to justify terrorism and the murder of Jews. It is even more abhorrent to see Hamas and other Palestinians proudly name their dishonorable crimes after a mosque.

• The long-familiar Palestinian campaign to destroy Israel continues to this day. Palestinian officials continue to repeat all the same fraudulent accusations. Unless this anti-Israel and anti-Jewish campaign stops, the next October 7-style massacre by Palestinians -- presumably what they would like, distracting from and derailing US President Donald J. Trump's attempts to rebuild Gaza without Palestinian leadership -- is just around the corner.

Optimism About the Future Falls to Record Low in America

 Headlines like these, if true, won't bode well for Republicans in the mid-terms.  If voters aren't happy RIGHT NOW they will blame it on whomever is in office.  Forget about the fact that Democrats ruled over the highest inflationary rise seen in 40 years during the Biden years...Trump gets in office and now the Democrats yell, "look at these high inflation numbers under Trump!"  And voters will just say, "I'm not happy today so I'm going to vote for the other guy."

The average house now cost $400k and grocery bills are crazy high.  A box of cereal is $7 and a box of Wheat Thins is $5, while ground beef can cost $10.  Just imagine trying to fill up the belly's of a household with 4 kids and 2 parents.

So the younger generation is starting to realize that they are NOT going to have the same standard of living as their parents because they may never make enough income to even qualify for a mortgage in the city they live in.

As long as you have hope, you can face whatever challenges are ahead.  Sadly, Americans have been losing hope at a rate that is absolutely unprecedented.  As you will see below, optimism about the future has fallen to the lowest level ever recorded.  One of the biggest reasons why people are losing hope is because we have been in a historic cost of living crisis for almost this entire decade.  It is getting harder and harder just to pay the bills.  Nobody can deny this.  For most of the country, just surviving from month to month is a real struggle.

When there just isn’t enough money coming in, it can be very tempting to bridge the gap with debt.

According to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, credit card debt has risen to the highest level in the entire history of the United States…

Americans ended 2025 more in debt than ever before.

Credit card balances hit a fresh high in the fourth quarter, rising by $44 billion to $1.28 trillion, according to a new report on household debt by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York released Tuesday. That’s a 5.5% jump from a year earlier.

The central bank’s monthly Survey of Consumer Expectations, released Monday, also found that fewer consumers expect their households’ financial situations to be better off a year from now — and a larger share expect to be worse off.

Once you start piling up credit card debt, it can be exceedingly difficult to ever get it paid off.

Credit card rates are higher than ever, and this is allowing large financial institutions to rake in enormous profits.

But many on the other end of the equation feel like they are suffocating.

Needless to say, credit card debt is not the only type of debt that is becoming a major national problem.

Delinquency rates are rising for all types of debt, and this is particularly true for low income Americans…

That’s not just apparent in the number of auto loan, credit card and home equity lines of credit delinquencies, the New York Fed researchers said. “You also see that in rising mortgage delinquency rates,” the researchers said, referring to the growing number of homeowners who are falling behind on their mortgage payments.

Across the board, “elevated delinquency rates are more pronounced in the lowest-income areas,” the Fed researchers also found.

Here;  Optimism About The Future Plunges To An All-Time Record Low And Credit Card Debt Soars To An All-Time Record High

And when young folks start to feel hopeless, they will start saying, "How come I'm living in poverty while so many other folks have so much money?  I will vote for the politician who promises to take more money from them and give it to me!"  And then you can start to understand how in the world Democrats are starting to win when they call themselves SOCIALISTS.

But here's a reminder.  When the government becomes responsible for feeding you and the population becomes reliant on being fed....that same government can also starve you if they decide you aren't the type of person they want to feed.

The tragic thing about watching America head towards the abyss is that if we fall there is no one standing in the wings that is going to come and help us.  WE are the world's LAST BEST HOPE.

Keep praying for our leaders and keep praying for a revival to happen in America.  Only followers of Christ can change the trajectory we are currently on.

Trump Talks About Himself at National Prayer Breakfast

I’ve talked to a lot of Christ followers about Trump and I’ve not met a single one who voted for Trump because they thought he was a great Christian.  God will use whomever on earth He wants to, to accomplish His purposes.  We pray for Trump and his cabinet every day.  I can’t imagine how he keeps his schedule.  But our prayers should probably include that he would repent and surrender his life to Jesus.  I don’t see a lot of evidence that Trump spoke about grace, repentance, Jesus, surrender or that he was saved from his sin.  So while he may not understand what it means to follow Jesus he continues to do many things that Jesus followers agree with.

***************************

President Donald Trump spent nearly 80 minutes at the 74th National Prayer Breakfast on February 5 doing what he does best—talking about himself. But this time, the subject was his eternal soul. Standing before a crowd at the Washington Hilton hotel, Trump mused on his chances of making it through the pearly gates, declaring ironically, “I really think I probably should make it. I mean, I’m not a perfect candidate, but I did a hell of a lot of good for perfect people.”

Trump’s remarks at the nonpartisan event were characteristically bold. He boasted that he has “done more for religion than any other president,” accusing his predecessors of having “bailed out” on religion. He mocked Democrats, saying, “I don’t know how a person of faith can vote for a Democrat. I really don’t.” The president announced plans for a May 17 event at the National Mall to “rededicate America as one nation under God,” and claimed that churches are filling up under his watch, unlike two years ago.

“Some major politicians refuse to say the word God. They don’t want to say it. I say it,” Trump declared. He credited his administration with bringing prayer back to schools, creating a White House faith office, and implementing policies targeting transgender people—all measures he framed as victories for religious America.

The president’s relationship with Christian evangelicals has been a defining feature of both his terms in office. He emerged as a champion of the Christian right despite not attending church regularly and being known for his ruthless attacks on adversaries. Trump recounted remarks from Robert Jeffress, senior pastor of First Baptist Church in Dallas, who said of Trump in 2016, “He may not have ever read the Bible, but he will be a much stronger messenger for us.”

During his speech, Trump portrayed himself as a defender of religious liberty against government persecution. “They always like to say, ‘Trump is a dictator!'” he said. “They love that. I’m not a dictator. But they were like dictators. They were like the Gestapo. They were arresting people for going to church.”

When addressing his past comments about the afterlife, Trump blamed the media for failing to capture his sense of irony. “I was just having fun,” he said, before adding, “I really think I probably should make it. I mean, I’m not a perfect candidate, but I did a hell of a lot of good for perfect people.”

Trump closed his remarks with a quote from the New Testament—Matthew 5:8—”Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God,” then immediately undercut it: “I don’t know if that applies to me necessarily. I’m not so sure… I try.”

Bitcoin Headed for Zero

We aren’t sure how prophetic this news is other than to show how quickly events can change in this world we live in.  The “new future currency of the world”, Bitcoin, is now down 50% and maybe headed for zero.  We have said all along that “there is no way the governments of the world are going to let some private party control the world’s currencies”, so we stayed out of crypto because it makes no long term sense.

But the Bible says that some day there is going to be one global currency and everyone who wants to access it will need a special mark that shows allegiance to the Antichrist.

***********************

Mainstream cryptocurrency Bitcoin is being eviscerated this week. The token tanked to a historic low, coming eerily close to as little as $60,000 on Thursday evening. That’s well under 50 percent down from its all-time high a mere four months ago.

While the crypto has since bounced back to around the $68,000 mark, it comes at a grim cost: it’s now wiped out all of its gains since president Donald Trump won the presidential election in late 2025.

Analysts aren’t presumably hopeful about an imminent recovery, with some expecting the absolute worst.

“Our BTC price target is 0.0,” Pivotus Partners chief market strategist and partner Richard Farr tweeted. “That’s not just for shock factor. It’s where the math takes us.”

Farr said he concurred with Michael Burry, who famously shorted the US housing market before its collapse in 2008, and recently warnedin a Substack post that further losses for Bitcoin could result in a “death spiral.”

Farr pointed to Bitcoin following similar trends to a larger US stock downturn, suggesting it’s no longer the safe haven it was once claimed to be, arguing that it operates as a “speculative instrument correlated to the Nasdaq” instead.

The crypto bear argued that “no serious central bank will ever own something where Michael Saylor controls the float,” referring to the CEO of Strategy, the largest corporate Bitcoin treasury.

Farr also criticized the token for being damaging to the environment, as mining it requires copious amounts of energy and water.
