Pastor's Point of View 417 - July 17, 2026
Are we watching Bible prophecy unfold in real time? Recent developments with Iran and Turkey align precisely with Ezekiel's 2,600-year-old predictions about the Gog-Magog invasion. From Iran's threats against Trump to Turkey's aggressive rhetoric, the stage is being set exactly as Scripture foretold.
But there's more: anti-Semitism is surging globally-from New York's mayor targeting Jewish neighborhoods during heat waves to major denominations voting against Israel. This isn't random. Revelation 12 warned us Satan would intensify his war against God's people in the last days.

As New York baked under another summer heat wave, parts of the Riverdale neighborhood in the Bronx, home to a large Jewish community, lost power after Con Edison shut off electricity to protect its equipment.
Con Edison announced the outages Thursday, saying it temporarily cut power to some customers in Riverdale to reduce strain on the electrical grid and speed up service restoration. The utility directed affected residents to report outages and seek relief at city cooling centers.

The world can't receive God's wrath while the Church remains-but one second after the Rapture, everything changes. Are you part of the believing who will be leaving? Trust in Christ's finished work today. The promise is clear: exemption from wrath for all who believe.
