Trump's Peace Talks are More Biblical Than He Realizes

[00:00:01]This is Troy Black and you're watching Filibusted. Today I'm going to tell you why I've been so upset about this potential peace deal with Iran that Donald Trump's been pushing. I'm also going to share why I believe the problem with this deal or even these peace talks in general is something that Donald Trump does not fully realize. And the reason is because it's a biblical problem. And I'm going to get into that as well. Now, am I completely against this peace deal? Not necessarily.

[00:00:32]I'm upset for very specific reasons.

[00:00:34]Okay? And I have been reading people's opinions and reading the news and looking for answers to try to find some resolution to these feelings. And I'm going to share with you my findings, some things that have helped me to feel a little better about it. Um, do I believe this peace deal is going to last? Well, I uh I'm going to uh remind you of the famous words of George W.

[00:00:55]Bush. Fool me once, shame on you. fool me, you can't get fooled again. Um, essentially saying, uh, it doesn't seem like it, right? It doesn't seem like it.

[00:01:05]People are saying, I told you so, and then the next day deleting, literally deleting their posts or their videos that because they're outdated when it comes to these peace talks, right?

[00:01:14]People are saying, I can't believe this is happening. And they're doing the same thing, deleting their post the next day, or they're changing the headlines. I'm going to show you an example of a changed headline in a second. U, but let's look at where we're at right now.

[00:01:24]Okay. US Iran talks abruptly called off after Israel and Hezbollah trade deadly attacks. Is the peace deal still being signed? It it has been signed. Yes. But is it still going through? I don't know.

[00:01:36]I don't know. But let's look at what this article says. Whether this is the deal that's made or it's another one whether this is the deal that's kept or it's another one. I think it all comes down to a completely separate issue than what some people are looking at. Uh but this is what this article talks about.

[00:01:51]how the diplomatic back and forth over the planned talks adds to the uncertainty over whether a lasting truth can be found. It also talks about how uh Kamane which is like the son of the previous Kaman that was killed earlier this year on Thursday said that Trump had signed the deal quote unquote out of desperation. That's this this the leader of Iran saying that. Okay, it doesn't sound like that's a good thing for them to be saying. The deal gives negotiators 60 days to reach agreement on the status of Iran's nuclear program unless both sides agree to an extension and sets up a $300 billion reconstruction fund for Iran and other financial incentives.

[00:02:28]That's the part I'm pretty upset about.

[00:02:29]Okay, I know a lot of other people have gotten upset about it as well because do I care about the people of Iran? Yes.

[00:02:35]Have they been suffering under economic oppression from their own leaders? Have they been uh starving to death? Have they been dying of dehydration because they can't get access to water? Yes. And is it their government's false fault?

[00:02:48]Yes. So, do I care about helping them whether I agree with their religion or not? Whether I agree with their culture or not? Yes, I do. Helping them in the ways that we we can, right? But do I believe that this $300 billion is going to be used to help the people of Iran that are suffering? Not necessarily. And I don't want to see it going towards rec that Iran reconstructing the nuclear program that we've essentially part at least partially shut down. So that's where I'm like, okay, why are we doing this, right? And is there a way to get this to get a deal signed to where we can help the people without helping the regime? And it it it feels impossible, right? Uh it al this article also talks about how on Thursday US forces lifted their naval blockade of Iranian ports.

[00:03:36]Uh but they said that American warships will generally remain in that area just in case which you know that's just the way it is. Things are getting changed but not really. Um this is interesting.

[00:03:47]Okay. The straight of Hermas been one of the biggest issues in this whole conflict. uh it says straight up from reopens after US Iranou but world has lost 1.15 billion barrels of oil. So there's a lot of pressure economically and especially when it comes to oil supply uh to have this straight open and it's one of the reasons why people are saying that Trump is pushing for this deal so so hard and I I mean I believe it's a good reason.

[00:04:14]You know he he's he's thinking economically in a lot of ways. That's not the only motivation he has though.

[00:04:20]But this is funny. New York Post, uh, Iran Foreign Ministry says straight up from US is open after the RIGC warned it was closed, sparking confusion. This article headline has changed dramatically from earlier today. Earlier today, this same link, the the the the headline, this same link uh read something like and and I know because I've been researching this all day, it read something like uh the straight of us is closed. The like that's literally what it said. And now it they've corrected it. So, it's just like a flip.

[00:04:51]It feels like a flip-flop back and forth. Why am I Why have I been so irritated by this announcement? Uh, man, because we've seen this regime, the irritation is h the struggle's happening inside of me, I would say, because we have seen this regime this year alone kill tens of thousands of their own people who are simply protesting bad economic times caused by their own government, right? and they don't have access to weapons. They can't revolt necessarily, not very easily.

[00:05:25]We've seen them attempt to in some ways, and get shut down, but they're killing their own people. And now the regime is still in power. Yes, it's different people, but it's still the same regime technically. And now we're just going to let them continue being in charge, right? And now, am I saying that I want to see a complete, you know, US takeover and regime change and all that kind of stuff? No. You know, that's where I'm like, how does this end well? Right? How does this end well? Um, so I've been talking to people. I y'all know Doug, he uh Smith, he's a uh co-host on this channel sometimes. And um he's giving me his opinion this week.

[00:06:06]And so, some of this is going to come from what he said. Um, and I'm gonna I'm gonna bring that and then I'm going to bring some other opinions from some people uh who's who that I've been reading this week as well. Um, so Trump has kind of been flip-flopping a little bit. At least it seems that way. He went from talking about taking down the Iranian government to now saying that the regime change was never the goal. Is he flip-flopping or is this just strategy? I mean, he would he does this all the time. Sometimes it's just a very heated statement or it's putting pressure publicly on somebody and then that's really not what he was intending, but it was in order to get the job done.

[00:06:39]That may be what we're seeing here and I'm going to bring some evidence to that. Um, but the pitch has always been that the Iran regime is a problem and that they the people need to take their country back and I'm still I still agree with that. I think they need to take their country back. I don't think they have the ability to do that right now, unfortunately, um, without help. Um, should we be the country that's going in there and helping?

[00:06:59]That's the this is the big problem that now that to me just sounds like another Bush 2.0, right? Uh the previous narrative, especially with the Iraq war, was freedom and democracy for the country that we were invading uh and that was going to happen through US military control and execution of the existing dictator, right? And do we want to see that happening again? Well, what was the the results of that last time were years of US infiltration and a war that ultimately very few people wanted, right? And this is what uh my co-host Doug was reminding me of today is that oftent times Trump's style is more like in in line with Muhammad Ali uh than uh George W. Bush uh in that it's like it's kind of like that stick and move style where you you shuffle around. You're outside the opponent. You're jabbing.

[00:07:46]You're pivoting. You're evading and you're you're running their energy down, right? and you're you're running them ragged and then eventually you go in uh for the kill, you know, like we've seen Trump dropping a bomb without invading the country, backing off and then sending warning signs to the regime and then doing the same, right? Uh more munitions one after another and then repeating the cycle. Um and it's very different than boots on the ground like what we saw with the Iraq war. And so my here's my response to that though is I'm like, "Okay, great. But what about when it feels like he says one thing and then does another, right? Is that strategy?

[00:08:20]Is it just heated talk? This is what uh my co-host Doug reminded me of. He was going to be on the stream with me today.

[00:08:25]We're going to have sort of a conversation about this and then uh he wasn't able to last minute and so I'm y'all y'all are stuck with just me talking about it. But um we're going to get to some really good stuff in a minute. So this is what he reminded me of. This is back in 2019.

[00:08:41]Uh here's the press conference information on it. But uh something that um Trump said, "We're not looking for regime change." I just want to make that clear. We're looking for no nuclear weapons. A press conference in Tokyo May 27th, 2019. So that I'm like, okay, that sounds a little different than some of the things that I felt like I was hearing him say this year, right? And maybe he was saying those things just to put pressure on the the nation of Iran or the the Iranian government. Uh here's another thing that he said in the past.

[00:09:11]Uh this was January 3rd, 2020. Uh I have deep respect for the Iranian people.

[00:09:17]They are remarkable people with an incredible heritage and unlimited potential. We do not seek regime change.

[00:09:23]This is back in 2020. However, the Iranian regime's aggression in the region, including the use of proxy fighters to da stabilize its neighbors, must end and it must end now. Okay.

[00:09:33]Again, the same pattern. Not he's saying we don't want regime change because he didn't want the same thing to happen that happened with George W. Bush, right? So, I'm going, okay, the the pattern is starting to play out where maybe that was his plan all along, right? Was to put enough pressure, enough jabs to try to shut down the nuclear program and that was it, right?

[00:09:54]And now, is that what I is that the only thing I want to see happen in Iran? No, I'm because I care about the people there that are suffering, right? Um, despite my disagreements with a lot of the the culture and and and religion and stuff, Trump says he never cared about regime change in Iran. This is uh this year 2026, but uh this is the quote. I don't believe the regime in the regime change. You know, I've watched regime changes for years. They never work. So again, he is not making a shift here from his previous states statements.

[00:10:25]They go all the way back to 2019 and 2020. and what he said this year possibly could have just been pressure he was putting on uh the nation of Iran.

[00:10:34]Now, is that a good thing? Is that a bad thing? I don't know. Let me know what you think on that. But at least it's showing some consistency in the the motivation that he actually had. Uh so let's jump into uh some of the more some of the other motivations that Trump may have and some of the things that I believe he might be missing when it comes to these peace talks and how these peace talks and this peace deal itself could could be uh swayed by something that's very biblical in nature um and actual biblical prophecy coming to pass on the world stage like it normally does uh and like we're seeing it happen more and more uh in the in the times that we're living in. Um so we're going to get into that after a quick word from today's sponsor.

[00:11:54]So George W. Bush made his intentions very clear and and this was public, you know, at the time. I I was young, but I remember this being a public statement and people being aware of what the intentions were with the Iraq war. I think we as American people, we just didn't realize what it was going to entail, how long it was going to take, and and what were going to be the results of that. Um, but this is a press conference uh from uh 2003. He said, "If we go to war, there will be a regime change. We will be changing the regime of Iraq for the good of the Iraqi people." Um, so the distinction being uh now what Trump seems to be doing is he seems to be making this all about the nuclear power struggle. And I think it's very clear that the Iranian regime, the Iranian government should not have access to nuclear power, you know, killing tens of thousands of their own people over over protests over simple necessary things that people need to live, right? Things like that. Uh, you know, Iran itself being a funer of terrorism all throughout the Middle East and other places around the world. You know, them fighting proxy wars, you know, through through all of these uh terrorist groups. like it's just not somebody you want to have nuclear power.

[00:13:05]Like you don't want to give them those keys and that access. So I get that, right? But the putting hope in the in in the idea that the leaders have changed now and therefore somehow the regime is different and now the new leaders are going to be, you know, wanting to fix their country and and all that kind of stuff. I'm like, I'm not going to put a lot of hope in that. It just it doesn't feel like doesn't feel like it's gonna it's going to do what some people are hoping that it was going to do right now. Um I I do believe that Donald Trump has some good leverage strategy when it comes to oil. Uh when it comes to the economic flow of the nation in general, maybe the leaders don't care about their people so much. Um but do they care about still being able to make money? Do they care about still being able to fund their regime? Yeah. Do they? Absolutely.

[00:13:54]the Trump Iran deal allows tan to immediately sell oil. I mean, that's something they're going to need eventually. Um, and so, yeah, I think that's a pretty good point, right? It's not just, you know, obviously a lot of people are saying, well, Trump is Trump is being pressured by all the economics here in the United States and around the world. The global the leaders around the world are starting to worry about this this uh this conflict with Iran and how it's going to affect the global market.

[00:14:18]People in the United States are starting to worry. We're, you know, we're we're trying to get through uh e economic crisis. We're trying to uh you know, stabilize things still and yet now we're in this this seems like a constant war that started in February and still going and the gas prices are now going down, but are they going to go right back up?

[00:14:38]You know, all these different things.

[00:14:40]And there's two opinions I read this week that have helped a lot. If y'all watch the recent episodes that we did on this channel about Israel, um I invited Dr. Ron Canour to come bring his opinion on. If you missed those episodes, highly encourage you to go back and watch them on several things on Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, on uh the is Israeli leaders currently. Uh he is a dual citizen in both uh the United States, but he and Israel, but he lives in Israel and has been there for the last 23 years. So, he has a very and we're going to just have notifications popping up this whole time on my Facebook page, but he has a very interesting opinion and and perspective when it comes to uh Israel, but also the things that are happening in the Middle East because he's right there in the middle of it.

[00:15:21]Okay. Now, I don't I've read through his Facebook post on this. I don't fully agree with everything he says here. And I noticed that some of the things he says are already outdated even though he posted this three days ago, right? And that is just going to be that's going to be the case when it comes to these deals. Like, they're just, you know, it's up and down. it's back and forth.

[00:15:38]Things are going to be shifting, but he still makes some good points that I that have caused me to think a little bit more thoroughly about this. Um, one of the you can go read it on his Facebook page for yourself. I looked at I looked for it on his his website, roncaner.com, and I couldn't find the post, but so maybe he just put it on the Facebook page. Um, but this is what he says, some of the points he makes. Uh, number one, nobody can get their story straight, including the administration. Uh, he said, "What happened Monday only deepened the concern. Vance spent the day making the rounds on every major network, ABC, CBS, CNN, Fox, and managed to contradict himself repeatedly, often within hours.

[00:16:12]I I think that's concerning when uh I get it. It's It's tough to be in front of a live audience. Tough to be doing that all day long and going from one interview to the next. I I've done a little bit of that before. Uh there was a time where I had to preach five sermons in a in one weekend, five different sermons, and it was just unbearable. like there. I couldn't even remember what sermon I was on by the time I got to four or five, right? It I was like, "Oh my gosh, I I don't know how people do that kind of stuff." But um so it could have just been that he was making mistakes, right? Vance was getting stuff confused, but possibly not. It seems likely that he just didn't have enough information to work with or he wasn't sure what the information was, which is concerning. Um these are his thought, Ron Caner's thoughts on that.

[00:16:53]Uh Israel is being uh or these are my thoughts. Israel being left out of the peace talks is very concerning. Okay.

[00:17:00]It's very concerning um because I believe that their fight and I think it's pretty obvious their fight in Lebanon is being used as as an excuse um maybe from both sides to say no to any deal that people are trying to make. So the fact that the the US and Iran are both using what's happening with Israel and Lebanon and Hezbollah as a uh sort of a a pivoting point, you know, like a a uh a lever. They're using it as leverage for whether they say yes or no to certain things. Seems like that's a central issue and it that Israel should be part of the peace talks, right? Maybe maybe that's impossible. Maybe Iran and Israel will not talk to each other and that's why they're being left out. Um it just seems odd to me though. Um this is another point that Ron Caner makes and it's another part of his opinion. He says it's not a real deal. Um it's it's a disingenuous this is and these are his words. It's a disingenuous uh it's disingenuous to call it a deal. It's an 800 or so word piece of paper that might lead to a deal with one of the most notoriously dishonest regimes. And I kind of agree with that. It really isn't like just signing this thing. It's like it's giving them 60 days to arrive at a deal, right? and it's got some provisions in there, you know, uh, initially, but that might not even be what it winds up being eventually if they ever get to actually agreeing on something, right? So, anyways, another point he makes, there's no moderate movement in Iran. There's there's just the regime, the same people, you know, it's different people because the original people got killed, but it's the same type of people, right? They they believe very similar things. um they've killed roughly 50,000 of their own citizens literally who are just asking for a better life this year alone. And one of the points he makes is he talks about um what if we had tried to make a deal with the Nazis in World War II. I think it's a good point. It's not exactly the same situation. Um now if we could look ahead and see that Iran was going to do something very similar Iran was going to drop nukes at some point then it would then I would say yes it's just as critical as you know as it was then right but we don't know that information right and here's where I believe that um Trump is missing something and it is that and I could be wrong about this y'all let me know what you think if you think I'm wrong about this or not but I believe that he is going to be uh continuing to separate from Israel in the United States from Israel. I don't think that's a good thing necessarily, but I believe he's going to keep doing that. Why is that? Because they continue to feel like a trigger point for him.

[00:19:42]He's trying to make peace with Iran.

[00:19:44]He's trying to make peace in the Middle East. He's trying to do all these things. He's trying to stabilize the economy. He's trying to get the oil flowing again, right? And in some and and at sometimes I believe he's trying to help people in certain nations like the people of Iran in certain ways. And yet Israel keeps feeling like the trigger that that is setting off the gun and that is causing things to fall through. And I don't think he understands how biblical this problem is. I I think he's thinking in terms of, you know, human beings staying upset at each other, holding grudges, and that's not really what's happening here. uh if you look at Jewish, Christian and Islamic traditions, you see that all three of them hold that many of the people and nations in the Middle East, particularly Arab groups are believed to be descended from Ishmael in scripture.

[00:20:34]So Abraham had one son through the promise which was Isaac and then one son out of the promise which was Ishmael.

[00:20:41]One was with Sarah and one was with another woman. Right? This is what Genesis 16:12 says. says, "But he will be a wild donkey of a man. His hand will be against everyone, and everyone's hand will be against him." Talking about Ishmael, "And he will live in defiance of all his brothers." Okay, so this is a biblical prophecy about is Ishmael, but it's not just about him. It's talking about his descendants. It's talking about the people groups that are going to come a there's going to be a lot of aggravation, right? There there it was going to be a constant defiance. And that's what we've seen. If you've ever thought, why are there so many wars in the Middle East, right? It's biblical prophecy playing out. Why are there why is there so much fighting all the time, especially between Israel and a lot of the countries around Israel or even between the countries themselves?

[00:21:29]And and between some of those countries and other nations, right? There's biblical prophecy playing out there.

[00:21:34]There's there's going to be defiance.

[00:21:35]There's going to be aggregation. It said it thousands of years ago and it's still happening today. Also, you see Zechariah 12:3 and and verses like it, more prophecy from scripture. It says, "All the nations of the earth will be gathered against it." Talking about Jerusalem. So, it's this idea of things are ramping up and eventually there's going to be a conglomeration of nations that say, "Okay, we're all going to turn on Israel." Right? And there there is this defiance against the the the people that carry the name of God. right now. I as a Christian, I believe anybody can be and is God's people who believes in Jesus today. Right? And so and and and I believe God loves all people groups and God wants us all to know Jesus personally. Um you know, so I believe we're under a different uh religious system, if I can say it that way, than than they were then. But what we're seeing is we're seeing biblical level animosity. And if Trump doesn't understand that, then what's going to happen is Israel is, I believe, is going to be the the it's going to be the point of contention. It's going to be the straw that breaks the camel's back for him personally where he says this isn't this is not worth it. We're going to we're going to make a deal with them and we're going to leave them out and and that means unfortunately separating from Israel, you know, which I don't believe is a good thing for the United States to do and I don't believe it's a good thing in general, right? But I believe that's what we're seeing here. And and maybe I'm wrong about Trump's understanding of all this. Um but maybe I'm not right.

[00:23:02]And we're gonna have to see how this plays out. Uh I'm hoping I'm wrong about that. But this is something else that uh Dr. Ron Caner points out in this article is that this is something that he feels like uh he feels like Iran won. Right?

[00:23:15]You see that right here in his headline.

[00:23:17]Um I don't know if I fully agree with him on that. Um we're gonna have to wait and see. But here's his point anyways is that Iran had nothing to lose and they knew it. Now, Iran technically had a lot to lose, but that's not what he's saying. He's saying, he's talking about the regime leaders themselves and what they care about. That's what he's talking about. They, this is what he says. They watched their currency collapse and thousands of protesters get massacred and they didn't flinch. What's a few more months of economic hardship when the ruling class doesn't bear any of it? See, that's very different than the economy and the the culture and the society and the kind of government we have here in the United States and other places around the world where when people are suffering when you know when insane things are happening to the the normal person in the culture and in the nation the leaders are going to try to do something about it right they're not just going to be like whatever it's not us you know but that's the kind of world that the Iranian people live in it's very different right and so we we can't expect them to respond to the same stim stimuli that some nations might, right?

[00:24:16]And this is what he says. Meanwhile, America has a ticking clock. Gas prices soared above $4 a gallon. The global economy was slowing. The World Bank projected the weakest economic growth since COVID. And most importantly, midterm elections are coming. Obviously, a lot of things are political, right?

[00:24:29]And well, Iran was enjoying its new toy, closing the straits of Hermas.

[00:24:35]And then he said, "Time favors the side willing to outlast the other. And Iran knows it cannot be outsuffered by a democracy with elections on the horizon.

[00:24:42]Trump needed a deal. Iran just needed to wait and they did. Okay. Now, do I fully agree with that? I don't know because we're going to have to wait and see what Trump does. We're going to have to wait and see what kind of deal is made, whether it's kept, all of that kind of stuff. But I think it's a good point.

[00:24:58]It's worth noting that these people are not going to negotiate the same way that other leaders would because they don't care about the same kind of things. as long as they're still in power, as long as they're still at the top in their nation, as long as they are still getting funds, right, and living the way they want to live, like they're going to be okay in their minds because they don't care about their people. And that's very different. Um, now they're militarily they've lost a lot, right?

[00:25:24]But that's not the main thing that they're focused on as far as their nuclear options go. They've lost a lot.

[00:25:29]But but even that, they can wait a few years on that. And if we we re refund it, refund Iran, they may just like ramp those programs back up. I don't know, right? Like that they're like, "Well, we didn't build the bunkers deep enough last time. We've got to make this more secretive." I don't know. Um but man, it just it feels impossible to be able to help the people of Iran in where we are right now and also to not help the regime itself. Um, here's another post though that has helped me to kind of process through this and the post is gone. Okay, so I've obviously people are posting things about this and then taking them down. It was something that uh uh Pastor Todd Coconado posted the other day on Facebook as well. I can't show you the post because I can't find it, right? But it got me thinking and it was all about how uh another aspect of this is not just the economy. Why is Trump pushing to push it to make a deal so fast? Why is he maybe making a deal that is not great, you know, or is not the best? not what people wanted or trying to at least. Um, it's not just the economic pressure, but it could also be how many bombs we actually dropped.

[00:26:33]And this was interesting to for me to find out. I was not aware of this, but this is uh an article that was posted uh just in May. Rebuilding US weapons stockpile may take years post Iran war.

[00:26:49]May take years post Iran war. And I'm thinking, how many bombs do we have?

[00:26:53]Like I thought we had a lot more than that to be honest. And I think we just don't drop bombs that often, you know, and so once the once the military starts dropping stuff, then it's like you probably go through a lot of stuff really fast. February, 900 strikes in the first 24 hours of Operation Epic Fury. In March, uh we dropped bunker B buster bombs on missile sites in uh in the straight of Hermma area. In May, uh there were self-defense strikes on missile sites and boats. In June, there were strikes on surveillance, air defense, and other military targets. Um the total number is unknown like how many weapons we've actually dropped.

[00:27:29]Um but the uh on the uh Bratannica website they go through the history of this 2026 Iran war and they actually they talk through a lot of the things so that you know they show like the key sites of Iran's military-industrial complex, some of the things that we hit, um some of the some of the things that we were aiming for, some of the places we were shooting from, all those things.

[00:27:50]So if you want to if you're interested in that, the information is there. But when it comes to the information as to how many bombs we actually dropped, how many munitions we actually went through, there's an estimate of around 13,000 targets that have been hit so far. But that data is classified and we just don't know, right? We just don't know.

[00:28:08]But we do know based on some of the information that is available that we don't have the kind of stockpile we would need if we got into a conflict with a world power like China or something like that. So what has happened now is the United States is recognizing a vulnerability that shouldn't be there. And so that could be also literally just national security could be another reason why Trump is saying, "Okay, we've got to move past this stage, right? It's probably more than just the economic uh flow of things." And so I'm like, "Okay, that's a little comforting to know that that's not the only motivation there."

[00:28:47]Um, right. Um, some estimates say it's going to take two or more years for critical munitions to be built back up and uh and three or four more three or more years for advanced munitions to be stockpiled and built back up. But we are ramping up production now. So, that's a good thing. Obviously, that's needed.

[00:29:05]Um, but that got me thinking, man, there's other reasons. There's other motivations for what Trump is doing and for trying to push for this a deal that's maybe not the best or maybe not what we wanted other than just the gas prices other than just you know and I'm not saying the e economy is not important you know it is but but it's not the only motivation there right and national security I believe is actually a uh a bigger deal right in in the long run so it just got me thinking but yeah y'all let me know what let me know what you think um let me know what you think about uh you know uh Trump's view of the the biblical narrative when it comes to the this constant dissension that's going to be happening between uh Israel and the nations around it. And you know, I don't think there's not going to be a deal until you until another biblical prophecy is fulfilled from Revelation.

[00:29:54]They're not going to be a deal that creates peace in the Middle East or that creates peace between Israel and all of its neighbors. It's just not going to happen, right? We are going to see wars and rumors of wars like Jesus said. And we should be praying for not just the leaders of Israel and not just the leaders of Iran and not but our leaders too to be making wise decisions because I believe there there there's one path we could go and then there's a better path that we could go. There's always going to be fighting. There's always going to be conflict. But if we're praying for our leaders and we've got the right people in in place, I believe it can actually be better than worse. I don't I don't think we have to see the worst version of everything playing out. Uh but you know, sometimes the Lord allows that kind of stuff to happen. He allows things to to shake up.

[00:30:44]He allows things to get worse in order to turn hearts back to him. And I understand that as well. Um but that's also why we need to be praying for our culture, right, and and our society. And man, just reading the reports of uh people in Iran that have been turning to Christ, that have been getting saved even in the midst of all of this and and where the the hardship has pushed them to go from a a false religion to to the one true God and and to Jesus, you know, for hope when they don't have anything else to put their hope into. I mean, that's encouraging, but at the same time, you know, can we help these people, too, right? So, that's it.

[00:31:18]That's all I've got today. So, um y'all let me know what you think in the comments. And this post is probably probably going to be outdated in the next 15 minutes, but uh it is what it is. So, y'all have a wonderful weekend.
