Since Israel’s attack on Iran, and particularly since America joined in the assault by bombing the nation’s main nuclear sites, the Christian and conservative communities have split somewhat, with one side saying America shouldn’t be involved and the other, that America most definitely should — that God makes clear those who bless Israel, He will bless, and those who curse Israel, He will curse.

Which side is right?



More than that — what stage of Biblical prophecy have we now reached with this latest Middle East military operation?

Pastor Jack Hibbs, president of Real Life Network and founding pastor of Calvary Chapel Chino Hills Church in California, and the author of the recent “Living in the Daze of Deception,” said Christians and believers should be turning attention to Ezekiel to see prophecy unfolding.

“Ezekiel has always been on the ledger to discuss whenever anything happens in the Middle East because it is the next battle of biblical proportions,” Hibbs.

Hobbs also cautioned against throwing Israel to the wind and said God’s ultimate plans for humanity focus on the unconditional covenants He made with the Jewish people.

And finally, on the disputes that are being played out in the press — among notables like Tucker Carlson and Sen. Ted Cruz, and others — Hibbs said: “Just like Covid, just like BLM … just like the marriage issue .. this [war] is dividing people … and
I’m actually watching God clear house.”
