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.

3/10/2026 — From the "Fight to the Finish" Department...

Iran's leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed in the opening round of the current war with Iran being carried out by the United States and Israel, and some people thought that taking out Iran's Supreme Leader right off the bat would lead to a relatively quick and decisive victory for the U.S. and Israel.

Well, it may not be quite as quick and decisive as some hoped.

Iran has now made Ayatollah Khamenei's son, Mojtaba Khamenei, the new leader of Iran. The problem is that according reports, the son is even worse than the father.

According to experts, Mojtaba Khamenei is even more hardline than his father, and is the prime choice of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). And it is clear that with Mojtaba in charge, any species of concession or compromise is out of the question. So much so that an Iranian official stated that the world "will miss the era of his father."

This keeps the hardliners firmly in control of the country, and that spells an extremely bleak future for the people of Iran, at least in the near term. It also makes it appear that Trump's quick, decisive victory may not be quite as quick and decisive as he hoped.

Alex Vatanka, senior fellow at the Middle East Institute, weighed in on Trump's efforts with Iran:

"Having Mojtaba take over is the same playbook...It's a big humiliation for the United States to carry out an operation of this scale, risk so much, and end up killing an 86-year-old man, only to have him replaced by his hardline son."

So in spite of all the ooh-rah talk we are hearing from Trump, it means this pot of stew may simmer longer than he planned—and it also means the nightmares for the Iranian people will likely get much worse. That same Iranian official I quoted above added:

"Mojtaba will have no choice but to show an iron fist...even if the war ends, there will be severe internal repression."

Former U.S. diplomat and Iran specialist Alan Eyre seconded those observations in regard to Mojtaba:

"He's going to have a lot of revenge to exact."

So the message to Trump is clear, according a Gulf source familiar with the Iranian government:

"This tells Trump and Washington that Iran will not back down...they will fight on until the finish."

Fight to the finish. Actually, I know Iran will fight to the finish. But I don't know that because of anything Mojtaba Khamenei has said or done. I don't know that because of anything Donald Trump has said or done.

I know that because of what the
prophet Ezekiel wrote 2,600 years ago.

(Gen. 12:3 AKJV)

That's why.
