Avi Issacharoff—As the cash flows to Iran’s regime, a dark day for the Middle East:

With sanctions lifted under the nuclear deal, billions will now flow into Tehran’s coffers, part of which will fund a great deal more weaponry, conflict, bloodshed, and death throughout this area.

Iran’s Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif tweeted on Saturday that “it’s now time for all — especially Muslim nations — to join hands and rid the world of violent extremism. Iran is ready.”

That assertion coincided with the latest report that another resident of Madaya, the Syrian city besieged by the forces of (Iranian ally) President Bashar Assad, had died of starvation. It also came amid the ongoing daily news of the killing of civilians in Syria by Assad’s forces, backed by fighters from Iran’s Revolutionary Guards and the Iranian-armed Hezbollah. About 250,000 people have been killed in the Syrian civil war, the vast majority of them by Assad’s Iran-assisted forces.

The Islamic State’s contribution to the relentlessly rising Syrian death toll cannot be ignored. Just this weekend, its forces reportedly perpetrated another massacre of Assad forces and their families in the Deir el-Zour area.

But if anyone in the Obama administration or the European leadership believes that the Syrian fighting is a case of “good guys” (Assad, Iran, Hezbollah) against “bad guys” (Islamic State), they need to check the facts.

SnyderTalk Comment: I agree with Issacharoff wholeheartedly.  We will rue the day that we lifted those sanctions.  I think it will be worse than most people can imagine.

As they say, the train has left the station.

Jerusalem PostFrench PM: Attacks in France, Israel show we are ‘in world war’: In explaining the reasons for the existence of a terrorist threat in France, he noted “upheaval in the Arab world” and and “the reality in certain neighborhoods in France.”

SnyderTalk Comment: Better late than never.  Yes, we are in a world war.  It’s Islam vs. the world.

Those “ordinary peaceful Muslims” we hear so much about aren’t Muslims.  Most of them don’t know it yet, but one day they will.

Washington PostMore US academic groups join boycott of Israel — and critics push back: In the wake of recent action by two U.S.-based scholarly organizations to join the Palestinian-led boycott of Israel’s academic institutions, the board of the Association of American Universities has issued a statement reminding them that any such boycott “directly violates academic freedom.” In the past few months, two U.S. academic organizations decided to embrace the boycott. In November 2015, the annual business meeting of the American Anthropological Association voted to join the boycott and the full membership is expected to vote on it this year. That same month, the National Women’s Studies Association Executive Committee voted to do the same (and its measure supports the full 2005 request by Palestinians for a boycott of everything Israeli.)

Hillel Gershuni—A Jewish ISIS Rises in the West Bank: To be a Hilltop Youth is to first disaffiliate with all establishments in Israel. Especially the settlements. These young Hasidic-looking men and women make their homes out of trucks, cars, trailers, caves—anything suitable for a makeshift shelter—atop the hills of Judea and Samaria. They see themselves as connected to the Land of Israel, not to any of the institutions of the Israeli state. The very violent group among them consists of no more than a few dozen core members and a few hundred more who support them in public demonstrations and on social media. Some in Israel refer to them in disgust and horror as “Jewish ISIS,” and while there’s a great distance between Al Baghdadi’s practice of beheading, burning alive, and massacring thousands of people and the violence of extreme members of Hilltop Youth, there is indeed a deep connection between the two phenomena.

SnyderTalk Comment: I love Israel, and I love the Jewish people. Even so, I am disturbed by the lack of sense displayed by so many U.S. Jews.  It’s disheartening.

Do they have any idea how important Yahweh’s promises about the Land of Israel are?  I don’t think they do.

AlgemeinerIDF Chief: Lifting of Sanctions Will Increase Iranian Funding, Influencing of Palestinians, Israeli Arabs: The head of the Israeli army said the implementation of the nuclear deal between Iran and world powers constitutes a “strategic turning point,” which leaves room for hope but still requires special attention to Tehran’s activities, including efforts to influence Hamas in Gaza and Arab citizens in Israel, the Hebrew news site nrg reported. IDF Chief of Staff Gadi Eizenkot made this and other statements about the security challenges facing Israel in the coming year at the annual Institute for National Security Studies conference in Tel Aviv on Monday.

The TelegraphIran sanctions: Middle East stock crash wipes £27bn off markets as Tehran enters oil war: Prospect of the Islamic Republic pumping an additional 500,000 barrels a day sends stock markets in Dubai and Saudi Arabia into tailspin.

Times of IsraelIran: Everyone but ‘Zionists’ and ‘extremists’ happy with deal: Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani said Sunday that the official implementation of the landmark nuclear deal between Tehran and six world powers has satisfied all parties except Israel and hardliners in the US. “In (implementing) the deal, all are happy except Zionists, warmongers, sowers of discord among Islamic nations and extremists in the US. The rest are happy,” Rouhani told the Iranian parliament in an address broadcast live on state television.

SnyderTalk Comment: I’ve got news for Rouhani: Yahweh isn’t happy about it because He knows what it means.

Saying that will attract a lot of criticism of me.  They will begin by saying, “Who are you to speak for Yahweh?”

This is my answer: I know what Yahweh promised to do, and I know what Iran promised to do.  We are heading for a showdown, and Yahweh will win.

Rouhani has no idea who Yahweh is.  I would suggest that he read about Elijah and the prophets of Ba’al.  He wouldn’t read it if I did, but that’s what I would tell him.

Fars NewsIran Vows to Continue Advancing Missile Program: “As explicitly stated before, the Islamic Republic of Iran will respond to such propaganda and harassing measures with pursuing its legal missile program more seriously and enhancing its national defense and security capabilities,” a statement by the foreign ministry said on Monday. It also underlined that allegations against Iran’s defensive and deterrent missile program by the US which is the biggest seller of advanced weapons to the regional states, used against the Palestinian and Yemeni civilians, are not legally and morally legitimate. “Iran’s missile program has not been designed for carrying nuclear weapons at all and therefore, it doesn’t violate any international rule,” the statement added.

SnyderTalk Comment: People should not underestimate the extent to which Iranian leaders are willing to lie to achieve their objectives.

BloombergIran, Saudi Arabia and the Future of Middle East Oil: Middle East Economist John Sfakianakis talks about the potential effects of Iran’s re-entry into global oil markets, Saudi Arabia’s peg to the U.S.

Los Angeles TimesPentagon report: Iran took SIM cards from detained US sailors’ phones: Iranian soldiers removed two SIM cards from two handheld satellite phones but otherwise returned all weapons, ammunition and equipment when they released 10 U.S. sailors and their two boats last week, the Pentagon said Monday. The first public report from U.S. Central Command into the incident provided that and other new details but did not answer the key question of why the U.S. Navy crews deviated from their course in the Persian Gulf and entered Iranian waters.

SnyderTalk Comment:  What’s the deal here?  Those SIM cards can be used to identify the precise location.

Conspiracy theory or good sense?  You decide.

Fox NewsClinton embraces Obama in final stretch, fueling GOP claims of seeking ‘3rd term’: If you like Barack Obama, you’ll love Hillary Clinton. That seems to be the Democratic front-runner’s pitch as she charges into the final stretch to the Iowa caucuses, embracing the administration’s agenda and casting rival Bernie Sanders as a threat to that legacy – a strategy on full display at Sunday’s primary debate.

Washington PostWhy so many evangelicals have faith in Donald Trump: Liberty University President Jerry Falwell Jr. stood before more than 10,000 of his students and some visitors Monday morning and laid out the case for why conservative evangelicals like them should support a presidential candidate like Donald Trump — the cursing, self-promoting, thrice-married billionaire who bungles Bible references. It’s not that Trump is the most religious or pious of the candidates, Falwell said, although he described Trump as a “servant leader” who “lives a life of helping others, as Jesus taught.” It’s that Trump is a savvy businessman who “speaks the truth publicly, even if it is uncomfortable for people to hear,” and who is not a puppet of major donors.

Shmuley Boteach—Ted Cruz Is Not an Antisemite: I got a call from MSNBC on Friday asking me whether I was offended by Ted Cruz’s comments about New York values. I responded that I thought his comment was mostly tongue-in-cheek and was probably a swipe at The New York Times, which had attacked him that same morning. Indeed, I thought the exchange between Senator Cruz and Donald Trump on New York values last week was illuminating from both sides and brought out a unique eloquence in Trump as he spoke movingly about New Yorkers in the wake of the 9/11 attacks. It was the most entertaining moment of the debate. What really surprised me, however, was when I later saw that Cruz was being accused of antisemitism for his comments about New York values, as if he were criticizing Jews.

SnyderTalk Comment: I like Cruz.  It’s becoming clear that Democrats don’t want to run against him.

There’s a reason for that.  He’ll whip them badly.  Besides, he has good sense.  They don’t.

RTTurkey’s Erdogan files $32k lawsuit against opposition leader who called him a ‘dictator’: Turkey’s Erdogan files $32k lawsuit against opposition leader who called him a ‘dictator’: Attorneys for Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan have filed a lawsuit against a major opposition leader for stating that Erdogan is a dictator, presidential sources and the opposition party told Reuters. The president is reportedly seeking $32,000 in damages. Republican People’s Party (CHP) leader Kemal Kilicdaroglu made the controversial comment on Saturday, just one day after Erdogan urged prosecutors to investigate academics who signed a declaration criticizing military action in the country’s mainly Kurdish southeast. Twenty-seven of the signatories were briefly detained.

SnyderTalk Comment: Oh my.  I had better be careful.  I think Erdogan is a dictator and an a-hole.  I should keep that to myself.

14--Blessings from Revelation 2

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.  Click here to order the paperback.
