I woke before dawn this morning in a cold sweat, emerging from a terrible nightmare. This is not something that normally ever happens to me, and then I read US President Trump’s tweet, indicating that he had just unleashed his nightmare on the world, bombing Iranian nuclear facilities! I’ve heard that others woke this morning in similar states. I suspect that the spiritual darkness unleashed today may well have reverberated and effected countless members of the human family across the globe.
What will Iran do now? That’s the question everyone is asking, and it is an important question. The other question though that we also need to ask is, “What on earth drove Donald Trump to initiate this attack?” This is also an important question because, if we’re going to get out of this mess, we need to know how we got in!
Most of the people I’ve been talking to put it down to Mr Trump being mentally unhinged, and that may be correct. Who, after all, would betray their own support base, break all their electoral promises, and risk the annihilation of the entire world except for a madman? The problem with this theory though is that at other times Mr Trump seems quite cogent. Yes, he is always egotistical and arrogant, but he is not normally completely irrational. What if it’s not stupidity? What if he’s being bribed?
Could there be some early video footage of Mr Trump on Jeffrey Epstein’s Island that would land him in jail if it were to be made public? Something like that would explain why the US President is behaving in a way that is completely incompatible with his ‘Make American Great Again’ agenda. It would also help explain why he ended his ridiculous tweet this morning with an ALL CAPS, “NOW IS THE TIME FOR PEACE!” It’s a statement that makes no sense when delivered right after you’ve dropped thousands of kilograms of explosives on someone, yet it does make sense if he’d never really wanted to drop those bombs but felt he was being forced to.
Musings like this may sound slanderous, yet these questions need to be asked. If Mr Trump is being manipulated, this means that some other person (or persons) control US affairs. It means that some unelected person really has their finger on the doomsday button, and that it’s someone whose face we cannot see. Maybe it doesn’t matter all that much whose human face it is, as we know that behind that face, the principalities and powers are at work –spiritual forces of wickedness!
Forgive me if I’m sounding a bit too mystical today, but I do believe that this is fundamentally a spiritual battle, and that’s why I believe our first response to this evil must be prayer. Further, if we’re going to beat this thing, we’re going to need to draw on all the spiritual weapons that God supplies – like truth and love and forgiveness.
World War III may well have begun, but we can still put an early end to it. It’s not too late to stop things escalating globally. It’s not too late for the west to start showing some respect for the Iranian people. It’s not too late to stop the Gaza genocide, and it’s not even too late to resurrect Syria (I believe), and it’s certainly not too late to shut down Trump.
Forgive me for being a preacher, but we’ve been letting the devil run this show his own way for far too long, and I call on my Christian brothers and sisters everywhere to take a stand for peace and for truth. I likewise call on my Islamic sisters and brothers to allow us to work alongside you so that together we might limit the violence and achieve justice through other avenues. I likewise call on my Jewish sisters and brothers to be true to the Torah and join us in working together for peace.
Spiritual men and women – Christians, Muslims, Jews and other people of faith – need to take the lead in this work because, well … if you put us all together, there are a lot of us, and also because we understand what the politicians fail to understand – namely, that this is, first and foremost, a spiritual battle.
May Almighty God grant us victory – a victory of peace with justice. Amen!
