The Prophet Speaks–Again
Much is happening in our world as we pray for the Olympics, watch stock markets tumble, see Kamala Harris pick a radical VP, and intercede against a larger war between Iran and Israel.
My heart has always loved the Jewish prophets for their clarity on good and evil. That national wisdom seems to be carried on in some political commentators such as the late Charles Krauthammer and Dennis Prager.
Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel’s prime minister, spoke truth to a joint session of Congress in Washington, D.C. on July 24, 2024. I have previously shared his prophetic perspective on world events.

We Need A Revival In Education
I have closely followed the pro-Hamas demonstrations on college campuses in the U. S. and around the world the past few weeks. I’ve taught in many YWAM schools worldwide and serve as a professor at Faith International University in Tacoma, Washington. (FIU houses the only seminary in the state of Washington.)
In all the schools in which I’ve been privileged to speak. I’ve never witnessed law-breaking demonstrations of any type. Judeo-Christian-based professors and students try to move in the “opposite spirit” during times of tension. That includes intercessory prayer and promoting reconciliation and healing among opposing viewpoints.
I will share my thoughts on the protests next week. First, let’s ponder what has happened in education to spawn the current chaos.
Destroying the Foundations: Tyranny (Force)
The Bible is clear that the destroyer in our world is Satan and his demons (John 10:10, Revelation 9:11). His main vehicle for destruction is force, which is human tyranny in many forms.
The most obvious method of destruction is unjust war–such as religiously-tyrannical Iran firing 300 missiles at the sovereign state of Israel last weekend. Thank God that through the prayers of millions, Israeli defense, and the support of other nations, little damage was done.
It was a grim reminder that evil tyranny is alive and well. And it’s not just afflicting Israel.
A spirit of tyranny (force) is also rising in America to destroy our godly foundations.
