The War That Was Already Written: Biblical Prophecy & The Current War in Iran, In a Nutshell

The conversations have shifted from vague ‘signs of the times’ talk to naming chapters and verses and watching them align in real time. Here’s a plain-language look at what people are seeing – and why it matters.

Verse & Vision | May 20, 2026

You may never know how far your light travels. The word you wrote, the boundary you held, the truth you refused to abandon even when it would have been so much easier to let it go – those things shine further than you can see from where you’re standing.

The wise shine like the brightness of the heavens. Not because they were the loudest or the most celebrated, but because they held their ground in the dark and kept their eyes on God.

Shine on.

Prophecy Without the Panic: Before You Build the Bunker | Daily Bread

You can run to and fro through scripture and still go hungry. The motion itself doesn’t feed you. And that’s the thing about prophecy. It was never meant to produce the panicked running to and fro it often seems to. Prophecy is meant to produce people who stopped running long enough to wait, who waited long enough to receive, and who received enough to rise. The wise will understand, not because they were smarter or more studious, but because they asked. Because they stopped. Because they let the Word do what the Word does when you give it room.

Verse & Vision | May 15, 2026

Verse and Vision is a daily series exploring the verse of the day — not just what it says, but what it means. Each post unpacks the biblical context, digs into the original language, and traces the historical and philosophical world behind the text. Where the Word echoes across history, we follow it. Where it lands in the present, we don’t look away.

The Map You Were Told to Ignore | The Author’s Perspective

It was five o’clock this morning when I fell down a rabbit hole about a 7th-century Chinese prophecy text and ended up face to face with something I think the church is dangerously close to missing. The Tui Bei Tu has outlasted emperors, purges, and censorship for 1,400 years. So has scripture. That is not a coincidence. That is a pattern. And patterns are exactly what prophecy is for.

It’s All Nonsense, Except Soul | Daily Bread

The people who are willing to honestly acknowledge when something feels deeply wrong are often the ones closest to real clarity. Not because discomfort or suffering is somehow noble in itself, but because the courage to sit with that unease, to follow the questions all the way down instead of numbing them or pushing them away, is exactly how truth begins to find us.

Jesus, Satan, and the Last Supper | Daily Bread

There is a moment in John 13 that most people read right past.

After Satan entered Judas, Jesus looked at him and said, “What you are about to do, do quickly.”

Jesus wasn’t speaking to Judas. Judas had already betrayed Him. Judas’ deal was already done. In that moment, Jesus was speaking directly to Satan, giving him permission to proceed. Satan was the one waiting for the word.

The enemy thought he was winning, but he was only ever doing what he was told. That understanding changes everything about how you read the cross… and if this hits you the way it hits me, it morphs your love, your respect, and the whole depth of your devotion to Him to levels you never imagined existed, and changes everything about how you praise Him.

In That Day: Zechariah, Psalms 83, and the Prophetic Picture Nobody Is Discussing

The ceasefire expired today. The USS George H.W. Bush is in the region. Iran is filling its oil tanks and its lawmakers are openly floating a preemptive strike. And underneath all of it, four prophetic passages — Zechariah 12, Psalms 83, Isaiah 17, and Jeremiah 49 — may not be a sequence of future events at all, but a single moment already taking shape. In this post I walk through the biblical framework, what is happening on the ground, the spiritual architecture of the strong delusion, and what it means to live ready. These are not my conclusions. They are an invitation to yours.

Authenticity Unveiled | When the Serpent Wears Robes

The serpent didn’t deny God outright in the garden. He added to his words, reframed them, and used them to serve a different agenda entirely. When Pope Leo recently put words in the mouth of Christ that Christ never spoke, I recognized that pattern immediately. This is not new. It has a very old author.

What the Desert Kept: The Unbound Word | Where the Thread Held

The Dead Sea Scrolls put real pressure on things I thought I understood — canon, transmission, messianic expectation. But pressure is not the same as rupture. A thread under tension is still a thread. This is where it held.

Simplifying “The Alarms of Prophecy: Elam in the Headlines” | By Request

This post explores the recent strikes against Iran on February 28, 2026, through a biblical lens, highlighting parallels with Purim and the Book of Esther. It examines the fall of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in the context of divine sovereignty, drawing connections to historical figures like Haman, Pharaoh, and Nebuchadnezzar. The post emphasizes patterns of God’s justice, divine reversal, and the enduring relevance of Scripture in understanding current events.

Sunday Sessions | The Alarms of Prophecy: Elam in the Headlines and the Call to the Harpazo

Recent and unfolding geopolitical events echo Jeremiah’s prophetic warnings about judgment. This post connects those signs to Scripture and urges readers to consult Scripture, repent and seek salvation in Christ before it’s too late.
