- Can it get any worse?
2 Timothy 3:1-5 Amplified Bible âDifficult Times Will Comeâ 3 But understand this, that in the last days dangerous times [of great stress and trouble] will come [difficult days that will be hard to bear]. 2 For people will be lovers of self [narcissistic, self-focused], lovers of money [impelled by greed], boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy and profane, 3 [and they will be] unloving [devoid of natural human affection, calloused and inhumane], irreconcilable, malicious gossips, devoid of self-control [intemperate, immoral], brutal, haters of good, 4 traitors, reckless, conceited, lovers of [sensual] pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5 holding to a form of [outward] godliness (religion), although they have denied its power [for their conduct nullifies their claim of faith]. Avoid such people and keep far away from them. Matthew 24:8 Amplified Bible But all these things are merely the beginning of birth pangs [of the intolerable anguish and the time of unprecedented trouble]. I don't know about you, but reading the news headlines is mind blowing lately. I will never again say: It can't get any worse, because when we reached a low, things are still getting worse by the week, or should I say by the day. Some of the low points over the last weeks: We are now in "pride" month. Who would have ever thought that sexual perversion is celebrated for a whole month. Australia under the "leadership" of Anthony Albanese & Penny Wong voted in the UN for a Two State "Solution", which effectively is supporting Hamas The weak & biased leadership of the 2 mentioned above is indirectly encouraging all the insidious protests around the country against Israel, who has like any other nation the right to defend itself against terrorists. Last month at the UN & US Senate the had a moment of silence to honour the death of "The butcher of Teheran", honestly has the world gone mad? The Au government & Biden's policies are uncanny similar: Unbridled immigration, bad economical policies, soft on crime. It seems somebody else is pulling the strings. Can it really be God's will that His children be silent at a time like this? It is time for battle, not a time for "fence sitting" & cowardice that masquerades as as godly meekness & obedience. There are haunting similarities between today's "Western" church and the German church of the 1930's. "Cheap grace" has taken the spiritual vitality of millions of Christians. Paying lip service to the Gospel, they shrink from resisting the evils of our time. As Bonhoeffer & other heroes of the faith insisted; the church has a vital role in the culture & condition of a nation. It is our duty to fight the powers of darkness, especially on behalf of the weak & vulnerable. Silence is not an option. God calls us to defend the life of the unborn, to confront the lies of cultural Marxism, and to battle the globalist tyranny that crushes human freedom.

Do you know what the Iranian regime actually believes? Their dream is for an apocalyptic jihad against Israel and the West. These are hardcore "Twelver" Shia Muslims, utterly devoted to their radical religion and driven by a singular, apocalyptic belief. They are not interested in negotiation or coexistence. Instead, they are actively preparing for the ultimate end-times confrontation: a global showdown that would summon the 12th Imam or Mahdi, their long-awaited Islamic messiah. "Bottom line is the Mahdi is an eschatological mystical figure who is supposed to be ushered in at the End Times and to bring justice and goodness," said Middle East historian and author Raymond Ibrahim.

Energy analyst Mia Dol Maleki published the technical receipts this morning, with on-the-ground confirmation from inside the regimeâs own logistics network. Pulling them apart in order: 1. Iran is now using shipping containers and âđ«đ¶đŻđŹ đŽđ”đ°đłđąđšđŠâ â disused tanks in poor structural condition â at Ahvaz and Asaluyeh to absorb the oil it cannot ship. 2. Rail to China is a non-starter.

People keep asking the same question about the U.S. naval blockade of Iran: If they cannot ship the oil, why do they not just stop pumping it? The answer is that they cannot. The reason involves physics, geology, and three quarters of a century of accumulated reservoir damage that the regime cannot undo. Let me walk through it. đđ§ đđąđ„ đđđ„đ„ đđŹ đđšđ đ đ đđźđđđ A faucet has a valve. You close the valve, water stops, you open it, water flows. Same as before. An oil well does not work that way at all. An oil reservoir is a high-pressure system. Crude sits trapped in porous rock â typically sandstone or limestone â under pressure measured in thousands of pounds per square inch, mixed with natural gas above and saltwater below. When you drill into that rock, you are creating a controlled leak. The oil flows up the well because the underground pressure is pushing it. When you shut the wellhead, the pressure does not stay still. It redistributes. Water from below pushes upward. Gas from above expands. The oil column gets disturbed â sometimes permanently. Petroleum engineers have a term for this: đŹđĄđźđ-đąđ§ đđđŠđđ đ. đđĄđđ đđđđźđđ„đ„đČ đđđ©đ©đđ§đŹ đđĄđđ§ đđšđź "đđźđŹđ đđźđ«đ§ đđ đđđ" Three categories of damage start the moment you shut in a producing well. The first is đ°đđđđ« đđšđ§đąđ§đ đđ§đ đ đđŹ đđ«đđđ€đđĄđ«đšđźđ đĄ. While the well is producing, the pressure drawdown holds the oil-water and oil-gas interfaces in roughly stable positions. Stop production, and water begins to rise into the producing zone while gas migrates downward. When you eventually restart, the well now produces salt water and natural gas instead of oil â sometimes permanently. The second is đ°đđ± đđ§đ đđŹđ©đĄđđ„đđđ§đ đđđ©đšđŹđąđđąđšđ§. Crude oil contains paraffin waxes and heavy asphaltenes that stay liquid only because the oil is hot and moving. Stop the flow, and these solids precipitate inside the wellbore, the production tubing, and the surface flowlines. Restart attempts plug the well shut. Iranian crude is notoriously waxy. The third is đđąđ§đđŹ đŠđąđ đ«đđđąđšđ§ đđ§đ đŹđđ§đ đŹđđđđ„đąđ§đ . The perforations through the steel casing â the holes through which oil enters the well from the rock â clog with sand, fines, and asphaltene sludge during shut-in. Restart cuts flow rate, sometimes to zero, until a workover crew is deployed at six-figure cost per well to clean each one out. For an old field â and Iran's giant fields are old: đđĄđŻđđł, đđđ«đźđ§, đđđđĄđŹđđ«đđ§, all producing since the 1950s and 60s â shut-in damage is brutal. Texas and Oklahoma operators in low-price periods routinely keep pumping at a loss rather than shut in, because the damage from shutting in costs more than the lost revenue. đđ«đđ§'đŹ đđ©đđđąđđąđ đđ«đšđđ„đđŠ There are three additional factors making Iran's situation worse than a typical producing nation's. Decades of sanctions have starved the industry of Western technology. Halliburton, Schlumberger, and Baker Hughes were the global leaders in well stimulation, workover, and reservoir management until they were forced out of Iran between 2010 and 2018. The National Iranian Oil Company has limped along on Chinese-supplied equipment of significantly lower quality, plus reverse-engineered Russian and pre-revolution American gear. Restoration after a shut-in requires precisely the high-end services Iran no longer has. Iran also depends on water injection to maintain reservoir pressure. Most of Iran's giant fields are on secondary recovery â meaning seawater is pumped down injection wells to push oil toward producers. Shut in the producers and you must also shut in the injectors, or the field over-pressurizes. Stopping injection lets pressure decline. Restarting injection costs hundreds of millions of dollars and typically returns the field to lower output than before. There is no clean reset button. And oil is đđ-đđ% đšđ đđ«đđ§'đŹ đ đšđŻđđ«đ§đŠđđ§đ đđźđđ đđ. Stop pumping for 90 days and the Iranian currency collapses, subsidies on bread and electricity vanish, and the regime faces a domestic crisis worse than the 2022 protests. They cannot stop. They are physically and politically incapable of stopping. đđĄđđ đđŹ đđđđźđđ„đ„đČ đđđ©đ©đđ§đąđ§đ đđąđ đĄđ đđšđ° Iran continues pumping because it must. The U.S. blockade, which began February 28, prevents shipment. Iranian onshore storage at Kharg Island and Bandar Abbas filled up within weeks. After that, the regime began using its own fleet of aging Very Large Crude Carriers as floating storage, anchored off the Strait of Hormuz with their AIS transponders dark. The floating storage filled up next. What happens then is what petroleum engineers call a đ©đ«đšđđźđđđąđšđ§ đđąđŹđ©đšđŹđđ„ đđ«đąđŹđąđŹ. Each pumping platform is producing oil that has nowhere to go â and gas associated with that oil that, if not flared, will over-pressurize the entire system. So Iran is now flaring increasing quantities of associated gas (visible from NASA VIIRS night satellite imagery), burning off the secondary product into the sky just to keep the primary product moving. Flaring is wasteful, expensive, and visible from orbit. It is what countries do when they have run out of options. đđĄđ đđšđ§đ -đđđ«đŠ đđđŠđđ đ Even when this war ends, Iran's oil sector will not return to where it stood on February 27, 2026. A reservoir engineer can model the damage. Estimates range from đđ-đđ% đ©đđ«đŠđđ§đđ§đ đ©đ«đšđđźđđđąđŻđąđđČ đ„đšđŹđŹ across Iran's giant fields, depending on how long the chaos continues and how badly the wells are mishandled while it is going on. That is hundreds of billions of dollars of reserves that will sit underground forever, because the regime did not have the technology, the time, or the strategic patience to manage a controlled shut-in properly. This is what makes the U.S. naval blockade strategically devastating in a way that ordinary sanctions are not. Sanctions reduce demand for Iranian oil. The blockade physically prevents its movement. And because Iranian oil cannot be turned off and cannot be shipped, every barrel pumped now becomes either flared waste or reservoir-damaging backpressure. The Islamic Republic is not facing a financial squeeze. It is facing a đ đđšđ„đšđ đąđđđ„ đŹđȘđźđđđłđ â the kind that does not get undone with a ceasefire, a sanctions waiver, or a billion-dollar Qatari escrow account. It is the kind of damage that the rocks themselves remember. đ đđ„đšđđ€đđđ đĄđđ„đ đđšđ« đŹđąđ± đŠđšđ§đđĄđŹ đąđŹ đ đđđđđđ-đ„đšđ§đ đ«đđŻđđ§đźđ đĄđąđ đđš đđĄđ đđŹđ„đđŠđąđ đđđ©đźđđ„đąđ. đđđđđđđđ đđđđđđđđđđ đđđđ đ đđđđ $đđđ đđđđđđđ đđ đđđđđđđđđđđđđđ đđđđ đđ đđđđ đđ đđđđ đđ âđđđđđđđđđ đđđđđđđđ đ đđđ.â đđđđđ đđđđđđ đđ đđđđđđđ đđđđđđđ đđđđđđđđ. đđđ đđđ đđđ đđđđđđđđđđđ đđđđđ đđ đđđ đđđđđđđđđ.

That subset has had a name in Iran since 1953: the Hojjatieh Society. The Hojjatieh teach that the world before the Mahdiâs return must descend into total chaos. Specifically: the destruction of Israel, the destruction of Christian civilization, the elimination of âGreaterâ and âLesser Satanâ (the United States and Israel), and the spread of injustice so severe that only the Mahdi can resolve it. đđ§ đđĄđąđŹ đđ«đđŠđđ°đšđ«đ€, đđĄđ đđ„đąđŠđąđ§đđđąđšđ§ đšđ đđđ°đŹ đđ§đ đđĄđ«đąđŹđđąđđ§đŹ đąđŹ đ§đšđ đ đŹđđ«đđđđ đąđ đ©đšđ„đąđđČ. đđ đąđŹ đ đ«đđ„đąđ đąđšđźđŹ đ©đ«đđđšđ§đđąđđąđšđ§.

The doctrine survived inside the seminary system in Qom, inside the Office of the Supreme Leader, and most consequentially inside the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. Khomeiniâs successor, đđČđđđšđ„đ„đđĄ đđ„đą đđĄđđŠđđ§đđą, has spent four decades quietly rebuilding Hojjatieh-aligned networks. The radicalization accelerated dramatically after the 2009 Green Movement uprising, when Khamenei concluded the regime needed harder ideological insulation against domestic dissent.

The training is explicit. The IRGC is taught that it is the âMahdiâs army-in-waiting.â Its mission is to prepare the geopolitical conditions for the Mahdiâs return. The eradication of Israel, the destabilization of the Sunni Arab world, and the crippling of the United States are framed in IRGC manuals as đ«đđ„đąđ đąđšđźđŹ đšđđ„đąđ đđđąđšđ§đŹ, đ§đšđ đ©đšđ„đąđđČ đ đšđđ„đŹ. đđĄđąđŹ đąđŹ đ§đšđ đđ«đđ§đąđđ§ đšđ©đ©đšđŹđąđđąđšđ§ đ«đĄđđđšđ«đąđ. đđ đąđŹ đđĄđ đšđđđąđđąđđ„ đąđđđšđ„đšđ đČ, đšđ§ đđĄđ đ«đđđšđ«đ.

Every analytical framework the U.S. State Department, the European foreign ministries, the IAEA, and the New York Times editorial page applies to Iran assumes the regime is a đ«đđđąđšđ§đđ„ đŹđđđđ đđđđšđ« maximizing survival and economic interest. đđĄđđ đđŹđŹđźđŠđ©đđąđšđ§ đąđŹ đ°đ«đšđ§đ đđđšđźđ đđĄđ đ©đđšđ©đ„đ đ°đĄđš đđđđźđđ„đ„đČ đ«đźđ§ đđ«đđ§. The IRGC, the Supreme Leaderâs office, and the apocalyptic cleric class that controls foreign policy are not maximizing GDP, regional influence, or even regime survival in the conventional sense. They are maximizing the speed of the Mahdiâs return. Within that framework: â A nuclear weapon that destroys Israel and triggers nuclear retaliation against Iran is not a deterrent failure. It is mission accomplished. â A regional war that kills millions of Muslims and Jews is not a tragedy to be averted. It is the chaos the Mahdi requires to return. â Sanctions that impoverish 90 million Iranian civilians are not a domestic crisis. They are part of the suffering that purifies the faithful before the messianic age. â Talks that delay the bomb are useful for buying time, but they are not a destination. The destination is the bomb, and what the bomb is for. đđĄđąđŹ đąđŹ đ°đĄđČ đđ«đźđŠđ©âđŹ đ«đđŁđđđđąđšđ§ đšđ đđĄđ đđ«đđ§đąđđ§ đđšđźđ§đđđ«-đ©đ«đšđ©đšđŹđđ„ đšđ§ đđźđ§đđđČ đąđŹ đ§đšđ đ đŹđđđđđđ€. đđ đąđŹ đđĄđ đšđ§đ„đČ đ©đšđŹđŹđąđđ„đ đđŠđđ«đąđđđ§ đ«đđŹđ©đšđ§đŹđ.

The next generation of Iranian leadership is not a moderating force. It is an accelerating one.

A nuclear arsenal in those hands is not a Cuban Missile Crisis.

He walks through the centuries of conquest to make the point: the armies of Islam drove into France until they were turned back at Tours, ruled Spain until 1492, and reached the gates of Vienna twice.

All of it happened more than a thousand years before 1948. đđšđź đđšđ§âđ đĄđđ§đ đ đ§đźđđ„đđđ« đ°đđđ©đšđ§ đđš đŠđđ§ đ©đ«đđČđąđ§đ đđšđ« đđĄđ đđ§đ đšđ đđĄđ đ°đšđ«đ„đ.

- The missing ingredient in the contemporary church:
Losing the Fear of God to the Fear of Man Somewhere along the way, the Church has lost the weight of what it has been entrusted with. The day that proclaims Christ crucified and risen â the day that declares victory over sin and death â has been reshaped to make it acceptable to a world that does not know him. The gospel is offensive. Yes. But it is the gospel that Jesus himself preached. It confronts sin. It calls for repentance. It declares that man is not good, and that salvation is found in Christ alone. Yet, instead of standing on that truth with holy conviction, many have chosen to present it in a way that avoids offence and maximises appeal. But the call of God has never been to make the message acceptable â or to entertain the crowds. The Apostle Paul said , âI did not shrink from declaring to you the whole counsel of Godâ ( Acts 20:27 ). And again, âPreach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhortâ ( 2 Timothy 4:2 ). Consider Daniel . In captivity, and under pressure to conform, he âresolved that he would not defile himselfâ ( Daniel 1:8 ). He would not bow to the culture. He would not dilute his obedience. He would not trade faithfulness for acceptance. Not even in something as seemingly small as food. When commanded not to pray, he opened his windows and prayed to God as he always had â even at risk of his life ( Daniel 6:10 ). Yet he rose to positions of authority in two empires: without once compromising his faith. God honours those who honour him  ( 1 Samuel 2:30 ). But today, many in the Church bend where Daniel stood firm. They soften, they accommodate, they adjust. Not under threat of death. Not under persecution, but under the pressure of culture, attendance, and public acceptance. âFor the time is coming when people will not endure sound teachingâŠâ ( 2 Timothy 4:3 ). That time is here. Church Compromise over Biblical Conviction The decline of the Western world is not accidental; it is the fruit of a Church that has too often chosen silence and compromise where Godâs word demands truth and boldness. The Great Commission was not about drawing crowds and entertaining them. It was a command: âTherefore go and make disciples of all nations⊠teaching them to obey everything  I have commanded youâ ( Matthew 28:19â20 ). That command has not changed. The Church must come back to holiness. Come back to the Word of God. Come back to the fear of the Lord. Come back to the bold, unashamed proclamation of Jesus Christ â crucified for our sin, and raised to life by the power of God. The tragedy is not that the world rejects the truth; it always has. The tragedy is that the Church, more often than not, no longer has the courage to proclaim it as written. It is a fearful thing to handle the Word of God lightly: he will not overlook the dilution of his truth. Those entrusted to preach his word will give an account. Not for how well they were received, but for how faithfully they proclaimed. It is the truth â not the compromise â not the spectacle â that sets men free. Lord, search us, correct us, and bring us back to holiness.
- Questions about demons
This again is another "hot potato" in the body of Christ, because of extremes on both sides: One says: "A Christian can't have a demon nor demonic influence", while others see demonic deliverance as the answer to all & give to much honour to the devil. Demonic deliverance is not a quick fix, as a replacement for repentance, resist the flesh & the devil & to work out our salvation in fear & trembling. The study below is attempting to bring some clarity on this topic, not bring fear, but to lead you into a victorious life. For further study I can highly recommend the classic from Derek Prince: "The shall expel demons" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VxXgXqG7oEY
- The Nephilim Giants in the Bible
This is quite a detailed study, quite long for a "blog". But I still wanted to post this study for those "Bereans" who want to dig deeper. I not only explains why the Flood of Noah had to happen, but also why there where still giants in the promised land after the flood & why these tribes in Canaan had to annihilated. Which seems very harsh, but was absolutely necessary.
- Redemption, Justification, Remission, Imputed Righteousness, Atonement, Propitiation, Reconciliation & Sanctification
These words might sound a bit confusing or complicated. You might think why do I need to know this? Isn't it enough just to know I am saved as a believer and follower of Christ. Yes surely, but I believe looking deeper into these words will cause you to grow more in love for the Lord & appreciate even more what He has done for us & the riches we have in Christ. I was motivated to also teach this in our church before we partake of Communion. Quite a few years ago now, during our "Sabbatical" year away, I visited many different churches. I was actually horrified how casual and even disrespectfully this was treated. There was no teaching or explanation, just people casually walking up to table in front of the church, during worship & preaching , adults & children. Some even climbing over chairs to get out of their rows. This was not just in one church, but it seemed to be trend in many churches. Sometimes it is good to find out as a pastor to see what is going on in other churches by visiting "incognito". Anyway see the slides below explaining the meaning and dept of these words:
- The Throne of David
And when thy days be fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, I will set up thy seed after thee, which shall proceed out of thy bowels, and I will establish his kingdom. He shall build an house for my name, and I will stablish the throne of his kingdom for ever. â (2Sam.7:12-13) IF GOD EVER had a favourite it would have to be David yet David was far from perfect. He was born out of wedlock for he said âin sin did my mother conceive meâ . When Samuel came to the home of Jesse to anoint one of his sons as King of Israel, David was overlooked and not even called by his father Jesse yet God knew David, even as a child, to have a heart for God and with all his blemishes the grace of God triumphed to establish Davidâs descendants to perpetually sit on the throne of Israel. What is even more amazing is that one of Davidâs Descendants would be the Son of God, our Lord Jesus Christ. Isaiah prophesied that the Son of God whose name is âWonderful, Counsellor, The Mighty God, the Everlasting Father and Prince of Peaceâ would one day rule this world from the Throne of David. And when He did, that throne would be established for ever! (Isa.9:6-7). If anybody had any doubts that Isaiah was prophesying about Jesus Christ they need only turn to the New Testament and read what the angel Gabriel told Mary: âAnd, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS. He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.â (Luke 1:31-33) Davidâs descendants were not perfect either for many kings that sat on the throne of David were disobedient and were chastened by God. When Zedekiah reigned the nation had come under the judgment of God and the throne of David ceased temporarily. Ezekiel prophesied to Zedekiah: âAnd thou, profane wicked prince of Israel, whose day is come, when iniquity shall have an end, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Remove the diadem, and take off the crown: this shall not be the same: exalt him that is low, and abase him that is high. I will overturn, overturn, overturn, it: and it shall be no more, until he come whose right it is; and I will give it him â (Ezek.21:25-27). Three times the throne of David was overturned by Nebuchadnezzar and would cease with the throne of Zedekiah in 586BC when Nebuchadnezzar captured Jerusalem but it would be given to another of Davidâs descendants even our Lord Jesus Christ. The Throne of David is Eternal When God told David that his descendants would reign on his throne, He indicated it was âfor everâ. In 2Samuel 7, God promised David an everlasting throne and that there would always be someone of his seed who would be qualified to sit upon the throne. Matthews Gospel begins with âThe generations of Jesus Christ, the son of David , the son of Abraham.â (Matt.1:1). Joseph was the legal father of Christ because he married Mary but he was a descendant of David through Solomon. Mary was the mother of our Lord and she descended from David through another son of David; Nathan (Luke3:23-38). For about 1,000 years the two lines never crossed until Messiah was to be born and Jesus was the Son of David biologically and legally. Jesus therefore inherited the right to reign on the throne of David which had been broken down since the days of Zedekiah. In Acts 15 we read that the Apostles met to decide how they would handle Gentiles in the Church and James declared their conclusion that after God had taken âa people for His name from the Gentiles â (Acts.15:14), Christ would return âand will build again the tabernacle of David, which is fallen down â and will set it up again, after which âthe residue of men might seek after the Lord, and all the Gentiles , upon whom my name is called:â (Acts 15:17). When God told David that He would give him the throne of Israel we read seven times that Davidâs throne would be an everlasting throne ; it would be âfor ever â even though some of Davidâs seed would be disobedient and the throne would temporally lapse, the throne would be resurrected for the Lord Jesus to reign over Israel and the world in His millennial kingdom. The pronouncement by James confirms the Dispensational outline of Scripture: Today God is calling out a people for his name from the Gentiles. This will continue until the Lord returns. When Christ returns He will sit on the throne of David and rule over Israel. And then all the Gentiles will be blessed when Christ reigns. The throne of David spells the doom of Amillennial teaching. The whole concept that God has finished with the nation of Israel and that all the blessings foretold for Israel in the last days must be applied âspirituallyâ to the church is a pipedream. It is a mere figment of menâs imagination and bears no resemblance to the clear statements of both old and New Testament scripture. God has covenants with Israel that guarantee possession of the land and the restoration of the throne of David when Christ returns. Jesus is the King of Israel and will one day soon reign on Davidâs throne! The promises of God are not vague or symbolic ideas. They are sure, unbreakable, and anchored in His Word. The throne of David is not a spiritual metaphor but a literal, future reality that will be fulfilled in Jesus Christ when He reigns as King. If this raises questions for you, what exactly is Amillennialism? Why do many hold to it? And does it truly align with the whole counsel of Scripture? We encourage you to examine it carefully.
