In-Depth: The Iranian Protesters May Have Ignited A Firestorm, But Will The Regime Be Reduced To Ashes?

The long-term simmering unrest in Iran reached full boil two weeks ago and Iran has been on fire ever since. Protesters took to the street marching against the Islamic regime and its failed economy, broken infrastructure, and violent suppression of critics. Immediately, police and military forces were dispatched to put down the demonstrations. Their heavy-handed tactics only blew oxygen on the flames, causing the protests to spread in scope and intensity. The police responded in kind and were very soon using live ammunition to suppress the activists. That’s when the bodies began to pile up. First, tens, then hundreds, then thousands.

Iran Is Not Simply A Political Talking Point, Its A Major Player In End Times Prophecy

As we enter 2026, we are seeing headlines of courageous men and women standing up at great personal cost to the Iranian regime. We should all be praying for the people of Iran—especially for the many Iranian Christians among them. Pray for freedom, protection, and the gospel to continue spreading.

Iran is not simply a political talking point, but what many, including myself, believe is a land of biblical significance. Iran (ancient Persia) is considered a major player in end times prophecy.

As Euthanasia Snuffs Out Over 76,000 Lives In Canada, Christians Must Stand

By the end of 2024, enough Canadians to fill a sizable football stadium had died by euthanasia, according to recently released official statistics. As Canadian ethicist Daryl Pullman observes, these deaths “are in point of fact, homicides.” So while the government refers to euthanasia and assisted suicide as MAID (for “medical assistance in dying”), a more accurate term is SHAM: sanctioned homicide actualized medically.

Greenland: Russia Accuses NATO of Militarising the Arctic While Professing Its Own Innocence

Russia claims there will be “serious consequences” from NATO militarising Greenland, as it asserts both its own innocence in the matter and legitimate interest in the whole Arctic region.

Russia and China do not pose any threat to Greenland, and any interest shown in the region by Russia is a legitimate expression of it being the “largest Arctic power”, Moscow said on Thursday as it claimed Moscow and Beijing were being used as pretexts by NATO to militarise the high north. Russia considers the Arctic part of its sphere of influence and previously warned the U.S. it considers it part of its “strategic interests”.

Americans Want More Faith In The Public Square, Back Parental Rights

The Becket Fund for Religious Liberty released its annual Religious Freedom Index, documenting a rise in support for Americans to practice their faith in public and private. The index surveyed over 1,000 Americans and asked them for their opinions on a range of topics from curriculum opt-outs to sharing faith in public.

Trump Threatens Economic Penalties Against Any Country That Opposes Greenland Acquisition

President Donald Trump said Friday that he may impose tariffs on any country that doesn’t support the United States acquisition of Greenland.

Trump threatens tariffs on countries doing business with Iran

‘You Can Run, But You Can’t Hide’: The Downfall Of Dictators And A Spotlight On Corruption

Deep in the night of January 2, Chinook helicopters crossed the skies of Caracas, Venezuela. America’s Operation Absolute Resolve had begun, and by the time it concluded President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, would be in custody on their way to New York.

The CCP Is Sending A Chilling Message To All Believers: Obedience To God Will Be Punished

On Tuesday, a new wave of arrests shined a glaring spotlight on the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) growing hostility toward people of faith — persecution that seems to escalate by the day.

Antisemitic Delusion: Even Amid Venezuelan Chaos, Israel Is Blamed As The Villan Pulling The Strings

Last week, the United States led a tactically precise military operation against Venezuela, resulting in the capture of President Nicholas Maduro and his wife, transporting them to New York, where they will face narco-terrorism charges.

President Trump praised the total success of the operation. From his perspective, the core issues were clear: drug trafficking, illegal immigration into America by criminals, and oil unjustly taken from American companies.

When Trump warned Maduro to step down, he flatly refused and instead taunted the President—a decision that led to the Venezuelan President’s takedown and arrest.
