“And it will come about in the last days that the mountain of the house of Yahweh will be established as the chief of the mountains. It will be raised above the hills, and the peoples will stream to it. Many nations will come and say, ‘Come and let us go up to the mountain of Yahweh and to the house of the God of Jacob, that He may teach us about His ways and that we may walk in His paths.’ For from Zion will go forth the law, even the word of Yahweh from Jerusalem.” Micah 4: 1-2

Ariel Ben Solomon—Iran deal to see Middle East conflicts go on steroids:
Now that the Iranian regime has the wind at its back after gaining international legitimacy and, soon, unfrozen funds, from the removal of sanctions from the deal on Tuesday, it can be expected to double down on support for its proxies in sectarian conflicts throughout the Middle East.
A stronger Iran will translate into a more robust Hezbollah in Lebanon, Houthi movement in Yemen, and Shi’ite forces in Iraq and Syria, and increasing sectarian strife fueled by Shi’ite minorities or Iranian agents throughout the Arab world.
For example, with Iran controlling two Arab states bordering Jordan (Iraq and Syria), the kingdom has become a suitable target for expanding unrest and Tehran’s influence.
Jordanian media reported earlier this month that the country’s security forces had arrested an Iranian operative allegedly planning a terrorist attack in the kingdom.
In the Gulf, Sunni-ruled Bahrain, which hosts the US Fifth Fleet, has experienced sporadic turmoil since mass protests in 2011 led by majority Shi’ites demanding reforms and a bigger role in government – an uprising put down with military help from Saudi Arabia.
More of such uprisings could be forthcoming.
Arab Sunnis are not going to take Iranian escalation in Syria, Yemen, Iraq or elsewhere lying down, and are likely to respond by supporting opposing Islamists or other allied forces and push for their own nuclear option before Iran gains the capability.
Jihad el-Khazen a leading columnist at the London-based Al-Hayat newspaper, wrote an article on Wednesday titled, “Very Wanted: Arabic Military Nuclear Program.”

SnyderTalk Comment: The Middle East is just a part of the problem.
Welcome to the New World, the one that Obama has made. Conflict will be on steroids everywhere.
I’m not talking exclusively about nation vs. nation, either. I mean things like the Chattanooga shooting.
The genie is out of the bottle. Are you ready?
If you aren’t a believer already, now would be a good time to seek Yahweh.
See “Time to Call Obama and Kerry What They Are: Traitors”. There are so many others who fall into that category: Hillary Clinton and Nancy Pelosi, for example.
Regrettably, all of them have enormous political support in the U.S. That says a lot. I wish it were not true, but it is.

Charles Krauthammer: The worst agreement in U.S. diplomatic history—The devil is not in the details. It’s in the entire conception of the Iran deal, animated by President Obama’s fantastical belief that he, uniquely, could achieve detente with a fanatical Islamist regime whose foundational purpose is to cleanse the Middle East of the poisonous corruption of American power and influence. In pursuit of his desire to make the Islamic Republic into an accepted, normalized “successful regional power,” Obama decided to take over the nuclear negotiations. At the time, Tehran was reeling — the rial plunging, inflation skyrocketing, the economy contracting — under a regime of international sanctions painstakingly constructed over a decade. Then, instead of welcoming Congress’ attempt to tighten sanctions to increase the pressure on the mullahs, Obama began the negotiations by loosening sanctions, injecting billions into the Iranian economy (which began growing again in 2014) and conceding in advance an Iranian right to enrich uranium.
Caroline Glick: Obama’s age of nuclear chaos—On Tuesday, we moved into a new nuclear age. In the old nuclear age, the US-led West had a system for preventing the proliferation of nuclear weapons. It had three components: sanctions, deterrence and military force. In recent years we have witnessed the successful deployment of all three. In the aftermath of the 1991 Gulf War, the UN Security Council imposed a harsh sanctions regime on Iraq. One of its purposes was to prevent Iraq from developing nuclear weapons. After the US-led invasion of Iraq in 2003, we learned that the sanctions had been successful. Saddam largely abandoned his nuclear program due to sanctions pressure. The US-led invasion of Iraq terrified several rogue regimes in the region. In the two to three years immediately following the invasion, America’s deterrent strength soared to unprecedented heights. No one was more deterred by the Americans in those years than then-Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi. In 2004, Gaddafi divulged all the details of his secret nuclear program and handed all his nuclear materials over to the Americans. As for military force, the nuclear installation that Syrian dictator Bashar Assad built in Deir a-Zour with Iranian money and North Korean technicians wasn’t destroyed through sanctions or deterrence. According to foreign media reports, in September 2007, Israel concluded that these paths to preventing nuclear proliferation to Syria would be unsuccessful.
SnyderTalk Comment: What’s about to happen will not be a natural occurrence. It was contrived in Washington by Barack Obama. He will be held responsible and eventually he’ll get the blame—in the next world for sure, here maybe.
Jeffrey Goldberg: Israeli Opposition Leader: Iran Deal Will Bring Chaos to the Middle East—Last December, when I interviewed the leader of Israel’s left-leaning Labor Party, Isaac “Bougie” Herzog, at the Brookings Institution’s Saban Forum, he said, in reference to nuclear negotiations with Iran: “I trust the Obama administration to get a good deal.” In a telephone call with me late last night, Herzog’s message was very different. The deal just finalized in Vienna, he said, “will unleash a lion from the cage, it will have a direct influence over the balance of power in our region, it’s going to affect our borders, and it will affect the safety of my children.” Iran, he said, is an “empire of evil and hate that spreads terror across the region,” adding that, under the terms of the deal, Iran “will become a nuclear-threshold state in a decade or so.” Iran will take its post-sanctions windfall, he said, and use the funds to supply more rockets to Hezbollah in Lebanon, more ammunition to Hamas in Gaza, and “generally increase the worst type of activities that they’ve been doing.”
SnyderTalk Comment: I’m thrilled to know that Isaac Herzog finally woke up. Here’s the problem: it was obvious when he said that he trusted the Obama administration and tried to turn Israel in Obama’s direction.
That’s why I don’t trust Herzog or Tzipi Livni. Some people have to get burned badly before they will accept the obvious. Herzog and Livni are two of them. There are many others in Israel.
Bottom line: Netanyahu was right all along, and Herzog and Livni were wrong.
Missy Ryan: Despite nuclear deal, US and Iran locked in regional shadow war—Even as their highest-ranking diplomats were shaking hands this week on a landmark nuclear accord, the United States and Iran continued moving weapons, money and fighters across the Middle East in an uninterrupted shadow war. At secret CIA bases in Jordan, U.S. operatives continued to arm and train fighters being sent into Syria to oust a critical ally of Iran. In Saudi Arabia, U.S. military advisers remained in place at a command center selecting targets for airstrikes in Yemen against Shiite rebels allied with Tehran. At the same time, Iran offered no indication that it intends to suspend its support to Hezbollah, militia groups in Iraq or troops loyal to Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad. The agreement to curtail Iran’s nuclear program was hailed by President Obama and other world leaders as a step toward stability in the Middle East. But there are already competing theories about whether the deal will help to defuse other disputes, or lead hard-liners to dig in and use the expected jolt to Iran’s economy to escalate long-running proxy wars.
Ramin Mostaghim: Iran’s supreme leader offers words of caution on nuclear accord—Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, told the nation’s president Thursday that some of the six world powers were not to be trusted to implement the nuclear deal they reached this week with Iran. He also told President Hassan Rouhani that the accord needed “careful scrutiny” by lawmakers to make sure that it was “put in a predictable legal pathway.” “We should be vigilant lest the opponent side does not honor its provisions and we should ensure that the paths for not implementing are closed,” Khamenei wrote in a letter, which appeared on his website. “You are well aware that some of the six states are not trustworthy at all.” He did not say which of those nations – the United States, Britain, France, Germany, Russia and China — he was referring to. He has often expressed distrust of the U.S. and its motives.
Aki Peritz: Even After the Nuclear Talks Conclude, Terrorism Will Still Be Iran’s Calling Card—There’s a nagging fundamental that will torpedo any further U.S.-Iranian rapprochement: policymakers in Tehran still perceive acts of terror to generate real political dividends. They assess that terrorism works – including, when it suits them, terrorism against American interests. An agreement to keep Tehran from the bomb doesn’t change this overall calculus. Iran remains committed to its revolutionary ideology and its international ambitions. Humiliating the U.S. on the heels of “winning” the nuclear talks would provide Iran further political capital. As a top IRGC official, Ali Shirazi, recently said, “We shall not rest until we raise the flag of Islam over the White House.”
i24 News: Western Wall to become part of every foreign official’s visit to Israel—Israel’s Deputy Foreign Minister Tzipi Hotovely instructed the ministry’s ceremony division to require that any future visit by a foreign head of state or foreign dignitary include a trip to the Western Wall in addition to the already required stations, the Israeli Ynet news site reported. “This is a statement of intention which strengthens the position of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel,” Hotovely said. Hotovely said that, upon taking up her current portfolio, she was shocked to find out that the Foreign Ministry did not require foreign dignitaries to visit the Western Wall as part of protocol until now, even though it lies in the “center of the Israeli consensus.” “In my eyes, the fact that the Western Wall will become part of every VIP’s official visit, is tantamount to a statement of intention which strengthens Jerusalem’s position as the capital of Israel,” Hotovely said.
SnyderTalk Comment: That’s a very good idea. I wish they would include in their itinerary a short walk to the top of the Temple Mount. If they did, foreign dignitaries would see Islamist foolishness going on unchecked.
Although most Jewish people, especially Israeli Jews, revere the Western Wall/Kotel, it’s just a retaining wall that was constructed by King Herod for the Temple Mount complex. Fixating on it is wrong. Focusing on the Temple Mount and rebuilding the Temple is more important.
Lots of Israeli people think that Yair Lapid would make a good prime minister. I think Hotovely would be an even better prime minister. She is not ashamed to talk openly about Yahweh, although she doesn’t call Him by His Name.
Look at Haggai chapter 1:
1 In the second year of Darius the king, on the first day of the sixth month, the word of Yahweh came by the prophet Haggai to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, saying, 2 “Thus says Yahweh Sabaoth, ‘This people says, “The time has not come, even the time for the house of Yahweh to be rebuilt.”’” 3 Then the word of Yahweh came by Haggai the prophet, saying, 4 “Is it time for you yourselves to dwell in your paneled houses while this house lies desolate?” 5 Now therefore, thus says Yahweh Sabaoth, “Consider your ways! 6 You have sown much, but harvest little; you eat, but there is not enough to be satisfied; you drink, but there is not enough to become drunk; you put on clothing, but no one is warm enough; and he who earns, earns wages to put into a purse with holes.”
7 Thus says Yahweh Sabaoth, “Consider your ways! 8 Go up to the mountains, bring wood and rebuild the temple, that I may be pleased with it and be glorified,” says Yahweh. 9 “You look for much, but behold, it comes to little; when you bring it home, I blow it away. Why?” declares Yahweh Sabaoth, “Because of My house which lies desolate, while each of you runs to his own house. 10 Therefore, because of you the sky has withheld its dew and the earth has withheld its produce. 11 I called for a drought on the land, on the mountains, on the grain, on the new wine, on the oil, on what the ground produces, on men, on cattle, and on all the labor of your hands.”
12 Then Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, with all the remnant of the people, obeyed the voice of Yahweh their God and the words of Haggai the prophet, as Yahweh their God had sent him. And the people showed reverence for Yahweh. 13 Then Haggai, the messenger of Yahweh, spoke by the commission of Yahweh to the people saying, “ ‘I am with you,’ declares Yahweh.” 14 So Yahweh stirred up the spirit of Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people; and they came and worked on the house of Yahweh Sabaoth, their God, 15 on the twenty-fourth day of the sixth month in the second year of Darius the king.
The Temple Mount and the Temple are very important to Yahweh. Maybe Hotovely will be the one to get things moving in the right direction. I hope so.
Caroline Glick: The hour of the pro-Israel Democrats—The only dramatic change in US support for Israel over the past 15 years has been among Republicans. Between 2000 and 2002 Republican support for Israel jumped from 53% to 77%. Today it stands at 83%. Luntz’s findings are useful not because they show that Israel is no longer a bipartisan issue, but because they indicate that Israel is not successfully making its case to liberals. The fact that 47% of Democrats believe that Israel is racist is proof that whatever Israel is telling them is not helping matters. Israel has a case to make to liberal Democrats that is just as compelling its case to religious Christians.
Debbie Hallberg: Questions the media needs to ask Democrats about the Planned Parenthood videotape— The media loves to browbeat Republican presidential candidates with “gotcha” questions – questions designed to trip up or embarrass a candidate by making him or her seem extreme, uncompassionate, or incompetent. The questions can be about almost anything, but the darlings are religion, sex, evolution, gay marriage, and abortion. During a February trip to London, Wisconsin governor Scott Walker was asked if he believes in evolution. He responded, “I’m going to punt on that one.” In May, Senator Rand Paul was asked about exceptions to his pro-life stance in the abortion debate. He turned the tables on reporters by answering, “You go back and you ask Debbie Wasserman Schultz if she’s OK with killing a seven-pound baby that is not born yet. Ask her when life begins, and you ask Debbie when it’s okay to protect life. When you get an answer from Debbie, get back to me.” But reporters are nothing if not persistent, and they’ll take any controversy they can get their hands on and shove it in the face of a Republican candidate to get an unscripted – and hopefully damaging – response.
SnyderTalk Comment: See “Planned Parenthood head sorry for tone in video on fetal tissue use”.
Sorry for the “tone”? I wish that was a joke.
See “Planned Parenthood Chief Defends Controversial Fetal-Tissue Donations”.
You can’t defend the indefensible. Decent people wouldn’t even try.
See “Planned Parenthood Video Raises Question: Why Use Tissue From Fetuses?”
Good question.
See “3 states launch investigations of Planned Parenthood, which says senior official reprimanded”.
Reprimanded? Not long ago in a different country, people would have been sent to prison or executed for doing what Planned Parenthood is doing, and not just the people who joked about it. Those decisions were made at the top.
Planned Parenthood must have a separate wing in hell.
“When evening comes, you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red,’ and in the morning, ‘Today it will be stormy, for the sky is red and overcast.’ You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times. A wicked and adulterous generation looks for a sign, but none will be given it except the sign of Jonah.” (Matthew 16: 2-4)
How many signs do we want? What will it take to convince us that our nation is depraved?
Alastair Sloan: Losing influence in the Middle East— It is the end of an era in the Gulf – for the United Kingdom at least. Once an imperialist power that used gunboats and clever diplomacy to push local wealthy families into supporting the British Empire, the formerly Great Britain has been reduced to little more than a useful idiot for Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain – and to a lesser extent Qatar, which remains somewhat of an outlier within the Gulf cluster. With its regional footprint dramatically decreased since UK troops blundered into the invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan, with David Cameron now viewed as an importent actor by the House of Saud and bin Zayeds after he tried and failed to launch an intervention into Syria, and with the bulk of the largest arms deal in history, Al-Yamamah, now complete, London – the foreign policy capital that effectively created the modern Gulf – appears of little use to today’s crop of Arab rulers (except perhaps as a real estate investment opportunity). Nowadays, the UK government – and particularly its current leader David Cameron – can only gain leverage through carrying out embarrassingly small-time political favours that mainly serve the propaganda needs of the Gulf rulers, keen as they are to continually boost their reputation in the West.
Daniel Bassali: CNN Reporter: Middle East Allies Feel Obama Caused a Lot of Problems There And Didn’t Solve Them— During an almost hour-long defense of his nuclear deal with Iran, President Obama said that it was not his job to “solve every problem in the Middle East.” The statement is sure to gain the attention from leaders of the Sunni Arab states and Israel that oppose the deal. CNN reporter Elise Labott offered damning words on how the U.S.’s allies in the region will respond to Obama’s rhetoric. “I think you’ll get a lot of raised eyebrows from allies in the Middle East, because they feel this president created a lot of the problems in the Middle East,” Labott said. “Don’t forget President Obama came to office in 2009 pledging to engage the Muslim world, to engage the Arab world. All that time you saw the Arab Spring, these countries felt the president was slow to answer that.” With havoc wreaking the Middle East, Labott claimed the president is losing popularity in region as he is set to leave office with a more chaotic Arab world than the one he inherited.
SnyderTalk Comment: This is the world that Obama has made. His supporters who hoped for change got it. Now that they have it, they will learn that they really don’t want the consequences that go along with hope and change Obama style. Iran is just a precursor of things to come.
Beatriz Beiras: Iran nuclear treaty ignores its role in Middle East violence— The treaty between Iran and the P5+1 world powers is meant to take effect 90 days after the UN Security Council adopts the relevant resolution. However, while the treaty has been hailed as a historic step for global security, Iran is a very active regional power and a partner in violent instability in the Middle East, which the treaty does not address. Jon B. Alterman, Middle East Program Director for the Washington-based Center for Strategic and International Studies, said: “It helps you manage one risk posed by Iran, which is the proliferation risk. It doesn’t immediately do anything for any of the other issues, and those issues range from Yemen to Lebanon to Syria and elsewhere.” Major US ally Saudi Arabia’s official reaction to the deal was uneasy. Riyadh said Iran should now concentrate on improving conditions for Iranians, according to the Saudi Press Agency, “instead of provoking troubles which would generate certain reactions from countries in the region”.
Ahmed Rashid: Al-Qa’eda has become the Middle East’s ‘moderate’ option— After plunging Syria into five years of a bloody civil war that has killed 300,000 and displaced 10 million, Bashar al-Assad is preparing for the endgame. He has been digging a bunker for himself, creating an enclave in the mountains around the coastal city of Latakia where his community, the Alawites, are in a majority. The Iranians are helping him set up this new retreat, but his hope of hanging on to Syria is dying. The question being asked in the region is not whether he’ll survive, but who will run Damascus once he falls — and what will happen should the country be split along ethnic and sectarian lines. When considering the future, Syrian moderate rebel groups don’t feature much in the equation. They have little standing in the pecking order because the US and the Arabs have failed to support them. Ash Carter, the US defence secretary, stunned the Senate last week when he admitted that the Pentagon had trained just 60 moderate Syrians to fight Isis — a far cry from the planned 5,400 announced last year. Meanwhile, in Iraq, the contingent of 3,500 American soldiers dispatched to train the Iraqi army have ended up training only 2,600 Iraqi soldiers. This is clearly no way to win a war — either against Isis, or the Assad regime.
Ingrid Carlqvist: Swedish Jihadi: “Go There with a Bomb”— In early June, a public debate began on the oppression of women in the Muslim-dominated suburbs of Sweden. Zeliha Dagli, who labels herself a secular feminist, wrote in an article in the newspaperAftonbladet that she fled Turkey 30 years ago, but now wants to seek asylum “again” — in Sweden. Dagli lives in Husby, the Stockholm suburb that made headlines around the world in the summer of 2013, when it was plagued by massive immigrant riots. Dagli says these suburbs are no longer a part of Sweden, but, rather, redolent of the Middle East. She writes that her everyday life is being more and more influenced by suburban fundamentalists.

SnyderTalk Comment: I shouldn’t have to say this, but I know that I do because of political correctness in the U.S.: gun free zones help only criminals, terrorists, and lunatics.
I’ll go one step further. Gun free zones are supported only by criminals, terrorists, and lunatics. Gun control fanatics will go ballistic when they read that, but where guns are concerned, they are out of their minds.
See “What we know so far about the Chattanooga killings” and “As investigators probe motive in Chattanooga rampage, a portrait of the shooter emerges”.
I didn’t address the other politically incorrect point: an Islamist committed those murders right here in the U.S.A.

Obama Pledges to Bring Broadband Internet to Poor Households
SnyderTalk Comment: I did a double take when I first saw this. It’s the Obama phone gone wild.
I’m not against poor households, but the logic for providing broadband access to people who can’t pay while people who can pay are desperate for broadband service bewilders me.
Obama is a huckster to the core. He will leave office spouting the same line of garbage that he entered office spouting.
Bottom line: Obama doesn’t learn. Or maybe he does learn. As P.T. Barnum said, “There’s a sucker born every minute.” The U.S. is loaded with suckers, and they voted for Obama.
Caitlyn Jenner channels her inner 21st century goddess in Versace at the ESPYs
SnyderTalk Comment: A few weeks ago, Jenner (he used to be Bruce but now he calls himself Caitlyn) told reporters that he is a Christian and a Republican.

As for his political persuasion, he can change that without a knife.
This is otherworldly weird. Something big is happening across the globe. I’ll sum it up succinctly: Satan is the father of lies.

Exodus 15
8 “At the blast of Your nostrils the waters were piled up, the flowing waters stood up like a heap; the deeps were congealed in the heart of the sea. 9 The enemy said, ‘I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil; my desire shall be gratified against them; I will draw out my sword, my hand will destroy them.’ 10 You blew with Your wind, the sea covered them; they sank like lead in the mighty waters. 11 Who is like You among the gods, O Yahweh? Who is like You, majestic in holiness, awesome in praises, working wonders? 12 You stretched out Your right hand, the earth swallowed them. 13 In Your lovingkindness You have led the people whom You have redeemed; in Your strength You have guided them to Your holy habitation. 14 The peoples have heard, they tremble; anguish has gripped the inhabitants of Philistia.”

Blessings in the Book of Revelation is a book that you need to read, especially now. There are blessings throughout the Scriptures but Revelation is the only book in the Bible actually containing a specific blessing for reading it. It’s repeated twice, once at the beginning and again at the end. This is the reason that I believe Revelation should be the first step toward studying biblical prophecy. Though not easy to do, Revelation can be broken down and understood by anyone, not just the academic elite. So, Revelation’s blessings are for everyone. Click here to order the eBook.

Wes spots his man in the back of the room leaning against the wall. Suddenly, another man in the audience steps forward and moves toward Karen at a menacing pace.
