A Pair of Kings

I've written on more than one occasion concerning Old Testament characters whose lives serve as types or foreshadowings of Christ, but it recently hit me that I had overlooked someone. And just exactly who did I overlook? Just the one man who was without a doubt the most important foreshadowing of Christ who ever lived throughout the entire span of biblical history, that's all.

And as the title of this article suggests, that man who was easily the most important foreshadowing of the King of kings was a king himself—Israel's greatest in the opinion of any Bible scholar you care to ask, be they Jew or Gentile. And I have a sneaky feeling that most of you scriptural sleuths out there have probably already figured out who I am referring to:

King David

Delusion Redux

A couple of months ago, I wrote an article about how I had changed my mind about the ethnicity of the Antichrist, and the fact that I am now convinced he must be a Gentile, not a Jew. In that article, I mentioned the strong delusion that God says He will send upon a Christ-rejecting world during the Tribulation, and I discussed how I am convinced that this strong delusion will be aimed primarily at unbelieving Jews, and will be unleashed on them at the abomination of desolation in order to delude them into doing the unthinkable: finally accepting this conspicuously non-Jewish leader who has brought them (false) peace and security and facilitated the building of the Third Temple as their long-awaited Mashiach.

My argument basically amounted to the simple fact that if the Antichrist were in fact Jewish, the Jews would have been hailing him as the Mashiach from day one, and no such strong delusion would be necessary.

I also indicated that there was more to it than that, but that it really warranted a separate article.

This is that article.

3/3/2026 — From the "Maybe It's Just Me" Department...

In the face of the devastating attack on Iran that is being carried out by the U.S. and Israel, the regime of Ayatollah Khamenei is doing its best to show defiance...which is about the best that regime can do after that selfsame Ayatollah and several dozen of his top leaders were blown to smithereens at the very outset of that attack.

In response, Iran has raised their "Red Flag of Revenge" over the Jamkaran Mosque in the city of Qom, which is a symbol of justice, revenge, and war. According to reports, Iran has raised this flag during every conflict with Israel they have ever had.

And Iran has promised to hit back hard at both the U.S. and Israel.

But as Iran scrambles to slap together a new group of leaders and retaliate in any way possible, for prophetically aware believers the conversation is quickly turning to the attack of Ezekiel 38–39. As you probably know, this attack is when a coalition of nations led by Russian and that includes Iran, Turkey, and several Northern African countries gather and descend upon Israel to wipe the Jewish nation off the map once and for all. But before they can lay a finger on Israel, God decimates these forces in a manner that leaves the nations of the world fully aware that it was the God of Israel who defended His people.

Students of Scripture have varying opinions on exactly when this attack will occur in relationship to the Tribulation. Some are convinced it will come in the early part of the Tribulation, and will destroy the false peace the treaty of Daniel 9:27 created.

Others are convinced it will come before the launching of the Tribulation (and after the Rapture) and its aftermath will in fact be part of what leads to the treaty of Daniel 9:27 that launches the Tribulation to begin with. As I have discussed previously, I am a card-carrying member of this latter group.

I admit that it struck me as noteworthy that after the news of Ayatollah Khamenei's death came out, Russian President Vladimir Putin angrily described it as a "cynical violation of all norms of human morality and international law" and heaped praise on the deceased Ayatollah for strengthening the ties between Russia and Iran. He also promised that Khamenei would be...

"...remembered as an outstanding statesman who made an enormous personal contribution to the development of friendly ties between Russia and Iran and to raising them to the level of a comprehensive strategic partnership."

OK, so we see Putin gettin' into that Gog-Magog frame of mind:

"Смерть Америке! Смерть Израилю!"
("Death to America! Death to Israel!")

Needless to say, for better or worse, Trump has started something big. But the word "big" may very well apply to more than just a major military conflict: It may also apply to to the fulfillment of Bible prophecy. And not just in terms of Ezekiel 38–39, but also in terms of the Rapture that I am 100 percent convinced precedes it.

So uhm...excuse me, but I detect the faint odor of stage-setting...

Or maybe it's just me.

News flash for
the liberal left:

You can hide

(See Ezekiel 38–39
for more details.)

Why?

And I will bless them
that bless you, and
curse him that curses
you: and in you shall
all families of the
earth be blessed.
(Gen. 12:3 AKJV)

That's why.

Tired of
bad news?

For God so loved the
world, that he gave
his only begotten
Son, that whoever
believes in him should
not perish, but have
everlasting life.
(John 3:16 AKJV)

Now that's
Good News!
