At dawn on Feb. 28, 2026 the Israeli and US military started their premptory strikes against Iran.
Does this make Israel and USA the evil, war mongering aggressors?
Amir Tsarfati responded to this likely allegation. The war with Iran was inevitable, it was only a question of when. He stated that Iran can simultaneously launch many hundreds of missiles at Israel, which would overwhelm their anti-missile defense systems, thereby putting many Israelis at risk.
Instead, for Israel to do a preemptive strike in the morning enabled them to catch Iran by surprise, as they expected any attack to be during the night. Iranian leaders came out of their night time protective bunkers, started their day as usual, then Blamo!, they got hit.
Iran will be hit hard, but likely Israel will be bloodied in the process too. Iran has sleeper cells of terrorists everywhere, so as Iran runs amok, they will try to launch death everywhere.
Next, is WW3, likely on March 3rd, or March 19, 2026.
USA, UK, and France will likely receive the opening salvos from Russia, China, and N. Korea per Daniel 7:5 and Rev. 6:7-8; and it will be nuclear. Within 24 hours, 2 billion people will be dead or dying.
Are You A True Christian?
I estimate that only 0.5% of those who self-declare as "Christian" are Born Again, with a deep, intimate lovingly obedient relationship with Jesus Christ as their God, LORD, Messiah, Saviour, King, and friend; and gotten all iniquity out of their lives with the strength and guidance of the Holy Spirit.
The other 99.5% of so-called Christian are trapped in one or more of the following evils:
- have no deep, intimate lovingly obedient relationship with Jesus Christ; &/or
- members of pseudo-Christian cults that follow false doctrine, &/or
- have favorite sins that they regularly practice, &/or
- are workers of iniquity, and/or
- are deceived, as they aren't really saved, &/or
- have ship wrecked their faith and abandoned ship, &/or
- are wolves in sheep's clothing.
All of these are at great risk; they assume they are protected under God, but in reality they are quite distant from God.
If they die in their sins, they are doomed to the Lake of Fire, where there is no rest, neither day nor night, but torment and burning for ever & ever; there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
If you are in this 99.5% pseudo-Christian category (or if you are unsure), I beseech you to take immediate corrective steps to save your soul.
For 63 years, I didn't realize that I was a pseudo-Christian, a luke-warm Christian, likely similar to you today.
Then, in Feb. 2017, my wife & I decided to read the Bible, cover to cover, for the first time.
When we reached the Book of John Chapter 3, we read about Jesus speaking to Nicodemos:
[Jhn 3:1-3 KJV] "1 There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: 2 The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him. 3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God."
Even though I was christened as a baby, confirmed at age 13, and a Christian for 63 years, I knew nothing about "Born Again".
That is when I realized that, for 63 years I had been a luke-warm, half baked Christian. I finally understood my many decades of sins & errors. We chose to immediately do something about it; by becoming Born Again Christians.
God loves you, and all of His creation. God wants you to be a part of His loving family for all eternity.
Unfortunately, I sense there are many so-called Christians (like me for 63 years) who are in terrible danger, but they don't realize it.
We are all sinners, and everybody occasionally sins, but only ~0.5% of Christians usually try to meet all of God's expectations.
The other 99.5% of so-called Christians have favorite sins, chronically rebelling against God; as they are luke-warm at best, or backslidden, or hypocrites, or wolves in sheep's clothing.
If they refuse to change their lifestyle of chronic, favorite sins; or if they have only a passing aquaintance with Jesus; or if they don't have a deep, intimate, lovingly obedient relationship with Jesus; then they won't make it to heaven. Instead, God will judge them, find them guilty, then throw them into the Lake of Fire, where they will have no rest, neither day nor night, but suffer burning & torment for ever & ever, with gnashing of teeth & weeping.
The greatest danger isn't from the government, nor terrorists, nor criminals, nor war.
The greatest danger humans face are incorrect assumptions.
Jesus saw the same erroneous assumptions in His day, and strongly warned the Pharisees and the people. The Pharisees & most others thought they understood the scriptures (they didn't), and they thought they were made righteous by all their religious rituals (they weren't).
Here is what I understand God expects from those seeking salvation, and eternal life of love, joy, peace, and fulfillment:
I fear God, for this is the beginning of wisdom, gives God pleasure, is my duty, is clean, is a fountain of life, enables my escape from the snares of death, is necessary to serve God acceptably, and endures forever. I learn to know God through reading His Word in the Holy Bible, for if I diligently seek Him, I know I will find Him; for this leads to eternal life, is worthy of boasting, enables me to stand firm & take action, prevents my destruction, and is learned by contemplating all of His creation and His Word. I believe in God and His Son, Jesus Christ, who is fully God and fully man. The wages of sin is death. I believe Jesus willingly died for the sins of all humans, paying the price for all the sins of those who truly believe in Him, and His teachings, and follow Him. I believe that in spite of living a life without sin, Jesus Christ was hated, mocked, persecuted, falsely accused, convicted, beaten, whipped, and crucified to death; was buried 3 days, then rose again, and sits on the right side of God The Father in Heaven, and will come again to judge the living and the dead.
I love God with all my heart, mind, soul, and strength. I love all other humans, as I love myself. I forgive all the trespasses of others, and hold no bitterness. I decided that Jesus Christ is my God, LORD, Messiah, Saviour, King, and friend.
I humbly & contritely confess all my sins to God; and to each other. I forsake all my previous self-righteousness. I decided to let my old sinful self, a child of Satan, to spiritually die off; so that I can be spiritually Born Again as a loving, obedient child of God. I got baptized by full water immersion in the name of God The Father, His Son Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. I prayed for & received the fiery baptism of the Holy Spirit. With the help of the Holy Spirit, I chose to hate all sin, just as God hates all sin, and love all things that God loves. I got all iniquity (ie. willful, premeditated or chronic sin) out of my life. I trust in God's promises that He will ensure that no temptation exceeds what I can resist, and God will ensure there is always an avenue of escape from all sin & temptation; therefore there is no valid excuse for my sinning. I speak to myself in psalms, hymns, and spiritual song, making melody in my heart to the Lord. I humble & forsake myself and my fleshy desires by picking up my cross daily and following Jesus, becoming a fisher of men, sharing my testimony and preaching the Gospel to every creature. I resist &/or flee from temptation & sin, do good works, be the salt of the Earth, and a light to the world; all for the greater glory of God. I believe in, manifest, guard, and promote with others the Fruit of the Holy Spirit: faith, longsuffering, patience, meekness, gentleness, temperance, goodness, righteousness, godliness, joy, peace, truth, and love. I watch! while I occupy until He comes. I developed an intimate, lovingly obedient relationship with Jesus Christ by reading the Bible every day, praying continuously, meditating on God's word every day, fellowshiping with other Christians, worship and praise God & do holy communion on a regular basis. When I fail, I stop quickly, confess & repent my sins, then pray for God's help to strengthen me so as to better resist all same & similar sins in the future.
If one or more of these results don't fully manifest, this likely means:
1) you have deceived yourself, and didn't truly believe all that you claimed, so you were never saved;
or
2) you were saved previously, but have subsequently backslidden, &/or shipwrecked your faith (see 1 Tim.1:18-20), and are now in great danger of losing your salvation. You must take immediate corrective action to recover, and gain the joy of your salvation (see Psalm 51:11-12).
That is when I am truly safe, and have the peace that comes with my assurance of salvation.
For Bible references that prove the truth of all the above, and give help on how to implement, see: "God's 26 Commandments for Christians", a summary of 300+ Bible verses, arranged into 26 commandments.
