We are witnessing a historic global event

Freedom at Hand

Younger listeners have no history of the Iran conflict. This Iran conflict began on November 4, 1979, when a group of Iranian students stormed the U.S. Embassy in Tehran, taking 52 American hostages.

The hostages were held for 444 days before being released. just hours after President Ronald Reagan delivered his inaugural address.

For 47 years the nations of the world tolerated the toothless boast coming from the Supreme Leadership. There was no one willing to challenge their rhetoric or distant threats.

Not until now.

Israel and U.S. Military Objectives for Operation Epic Fury:

1. Destroy Irans missile capabilities
2. Send Iranian navy to bottom of the sea
3. Ensure Iran can never have nuclear weapons
4. Disable Irans terrorist proxies

2000 targets were destroyed in a weekend. Two days later, their entire Navy was at the bottom of the sea.

47 years of boastful rhetoric “death to America. Death to Isreal” forever silenced on day one. Trump is the first president that was willing to confront the bully.

As of Monday 45 of their senior leaders have been introduced to God Almighty.

Trump has Offered immunity to the IRGC (Islamic Revolutionary Guard Core). Will they accept or reject his generosity?

The citizens and people of Iran who have been oppressed for decades can now rise up, prosper and thrive. Freedom is at hand.

The Abraham Accords 2 can now prosper.

All great news, but Congressman Chip Roy has a different perspective and a chilling question to ponder. While the Iran threat of nuclear weapons is no longer a threat, should we be concerned about a nuclear Islamic United Kingdom or an Islamic nuclear France?

Where are our Bethesda pools of hope today?

John 5 1:20

Where do our desperate, suffering and forgotten go to find hope !

Even if we are not poolside for 38 years like the man of John 5, we all have moments of suffering….its important to know…Jesus draws near to suffering Palms 34:18-19.

Do you want to be made well? Why did God say that? He knows our hearts and mind so why ask?

Jesus’ questions are “invitations”

Join us today as we explore Ezekiel 34 and the fall of God's Shepherds of old, and ponder who and where are the Shepherds of today.

Marks going to walk us through a discussion that will lead us to find the Shepherds, the David's and the Warriors for Gods people today.

In preparation for Marks study, I referred to Siri for a few commentaries on the book of Ezekiel. I found an article by Jon English Lee helpful. He serves as Academic Dean and Professor of Systematic and Historical Theology at Covenant Baptist Theological Seminary

"By way of set up, Ezekiel is working at this point in Israel’s history after the kingdom had been split. If you will remember, King David was ruling, then king Solomon. But after Solomon the kingdom splits between the north and the south. And eventually, because of their sin and their unwillingness to obey the word of God, the kingdoms were conquered and taken into exile."

"It is during Ezekiel’s life that the southern kingdom, called Judah, was defeated by Babylon and taken into exile. Ezekiel himself was carried off, and appears to have settled with a colony of Jewish captives in Babylon. Indeed, the theme of exile is all over this book."

"This first section begins very bluntly with an indictment of the shepherds of Israel. Because the people of God in the old covenant were both a religious group and a political nation, the category of shepherds of Israel would have included both religious leaders and political leaders. Priests and kings, Levites and magistrates."

I proposed to Mark that most folks can guess who our political leaders are today, but identifying the Shepherds might be problematic.

Which religion would we default to as the one with voice and influence that could reach all faiths and denominations?

Join Mark and I today as we make the case for justice and accountability. It's time to hold some folks to account. If not, the mid-terms could hijack the Golden Age and MAGA's momentum.

The left remain hell bent to distract away from the massive accomplishments all Americans have benefited from since Trump took office, and they can't have that. Distractions, Government shutdowns, and Chaos that divides are concussion grenades that seem to work for them.

Serious accountability to corruption and fraud is the only answer. The coverups must be uncovered and the guilty must go to jail.

Members of both parties are clamoring for justice for Epstein’s victims, with many lawmakers counting on the release of the DOJ’s Epstein files to reveal more information about who should be implicated in wrongdoing.

I think it’s funny that no one was clambering over these files during Biden’s presidency. This is one of many chaos driven concussion grenades the left likes to use to simply cause a distraction.

After being repeatedly criticized for allegedly weaponizing the Department of Justice in the Epstein case, violating the rights of victims set by the Epstein Files Transparency Act and intentionally obscuring the names of co-conspirators in the files, Bondi was summoned for a House Judiciary Committee oversight hearing on February 11, 2026.

Mark and I agree. Remove all the redactions and release the entire file to the world. Let the guilty be exposed. Until this "conspiracy" is fully released without redactions, this will only distract from the many great accomplishments Trump continues to deliver.

Trump and Lee Zeldin, the EPA Secretary, trashed Obamas “Environmental findings” gutting environmental regulations for all mobile industry. Saving of $1.4 trillion.

Government shut down again last night over ICE funding. The left fail to realize that ICE has already been funded through next year from the big beautiful bill. Concussion grenade and chaos.

Washington Post laid off 1/3 of its staff.

Raugh, the would be assassin at Trumps golf course was sentenced to life in prison.

Allegations of fraud in MN is now estimated to be nearing $30 Billion…in MN alone!

Bret Stephens an opinion writer for the New York Times had a piece Tuesday that asked the question…”Will Newsom be the democrats next mistake?” Here’s a quick list of the governors contributions to California and his list of qualified failures as to why he shouldn’t even run for President.

California ranks dead last in a recent study stating that it is not affordable for the middle class. One in six Californians live in poverty. The average income of the top 5% Is $600,000 higher than the bottom 20%.

California accounts for nearly HALF of the Homelessness in the entire country. The $24 billion allocated to address homelessness is no where to be found.

1.3 million left, quit, and departed California between April 2020 and July 2025.

California's education k-12 ranks #38 in US behind Mississippi and Louisiana.

California’s $128 Billion High-Speed Rail –better known as the slow rail to nowhere. Initially thought to cost 33 billion when complete… never left the station… the money did but not the train.

America can't afford another corrupt politician to be in consideration. We need to retain the House and the Senate this November. There is so much to do and Trumps current team has the integrity of character to deliver.
