[00:28] Is It Over for Iran?

Israel is freeing Lebanon from Hezbollah. Bashar Assad’s Syrian regime has fallen. Hamas has been greatly weakened in Gaza. It looks like Iran is finished as a regional power, but prophecy from Daniel 11 says otherwise. Iran is now shifting focus to new allies such as Egypt, with the two countries improving their relationship after decades of tense relations.

[17:22] Is Germany Winning the Race for Syria?

Western powers are scrambling for influence in Syria. The U.S. has contacted HTS, but Europe—especially Germany—has taken a commanding lead, making sure Russia and Iran have no place in the region.

[28:20] Japan Militarizing

The U.S. has begun relocating thousands of marines from the Okinawa Prefecture, aiming to remove half of its forces. Japan is reducing its military dependence on the U.S. It seems an American ally is strengthening itself to better stand against Russia and China, but the Bible warns about this exact situation in Revelation 16 and Ezekiel 38. Ukraine has assassinated Russian Gen. Igor Kurilov, who was apparently in charge of nuclear, biological and chemical weapons. A strong Russian response is expected.

[41:10] Canada: The 51st State?

The Canadian Conservative and Liberal parties don’t agree on much, but they both don’t like Donald Trump. Trump’s incoming presidency—and threat of tariffs—has sent Canadian politics into turmoil. Trudeau’s finance minister has resigned. People are wondering if Trudeau himself is next, as his popularity plummets. Elon Musk has exposed a new wasteful spending bill. It was voted down, and the U.S. now faces a government shutdown. Democrats and RINOs are calling him an unelected oligarch, when he may be the best thing that’s happened for government transparency in decades.
