World News in Relation to Biblical Prophecy ── June 21, 2026


Again, at the top of the page, in bold, capitalized letters ── the Trump Administration proudly announced a “deal” with the evil and vile Islamic Regime of Iran led by an interim leadership council and a core group of influential Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC)! NO REGIME CHANGE! The Gulf states now feel “left in the lurch and exposed by the US-Iran deal.”
Media reports alleged that the UAE moved billions of frozen funds to Iran in exchange for a halt in attacks on its territory, which Abu Dhabi has denied. …

Gulf states have found themselves stuck between a wounded but emboldened Iran and an unreliable alliance with the US. …

Meanwhile, Iran “has survived and overcome the US and Israeli decapitation campaign and also demonstrated that it can strike back and use Hormuz for leverage,” [Chatham House Middle East expert Neil Quilliam] said.

In an interview with The New York Times on Sunday, Trump suggested Gulf states pay for American protection against Iran.

“The Gulf states are being subjected to what amounts to blackmail by both Iran and the United States,” [Hasan Alhasan of the International Institute for Strategic Studies] said.

This “terrible” (in my humble opinion) Memorandum of Understanding has grave issues! (See: There's A Deadly Flaw in This Iran "Deal"!). Here are five reasons, I too, believe are reasons why it is a terrible “deal” ──

  1. Lack of transparency and unclear terms. Many details — such as how Iran’s enriched uranium will be handled, the scope of sanctions relief, and the exact conditions for nuclear disarmament — remain vague.
  2. No real nuclear weapons ban. Iran hawks warn Tehran may use the financial lifeline to rebuild militarily and organizationally, undermining the deal’s long-term security benefits.
  3. Sanctions relief without full integration. The agreement allows Iran to immediately restart oil exports free from U.S. trade and banking sanctions.
  4. Strategic concessions without reciprocal gains. It includes Gulf state contributions to a $300 billion reconstruction fund.
  5. Political and diplomatic skepticism. Iran’s leaders have a history of prioritizing their nuclear program over economic prosperity. 1
The MOU is seen as a placeholder rather than a final peace deal.

President Trump just simply says, ‘Well… if they don’t cooperate, we’ll just go back to bombing them!’ So, he’s giving them 60 days to rearm and resupply their weapons? Mr. President, when a boxer has his opponent on the ropes, you go for a KO!! I realize that Mr. Trump has said that ‘the deal isn’t final,’ but why isn’t he “finishing the job”? ── that's beyond me!

President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, is praising this MOU ──

I welcome the agreement reached between the US and Iran, following sustained diplomatic efforts by several partners.
The priority now is its swift and full implementation by all parties.
This agreement should allow for the immediate reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.
Freedom of navigation must be restored toll-free. …
— Ursula von der Leyen (@vonderleyen) June 15, 2026

O indeed, this vile Islamic Regime of Iran is two-faced. One part of its regime is not endorsing this MOU and refused to sign it, and the other part of their regime signed it.

Now, while President Donald Trump has posted, “This Great Deal will bring Peace and Security to the whole Region,” we do not believe that it will. I remember as a child watching on television one of the first renditions of Elmer J. Fudd ── Egghead. A Day at the Zoo, in which Egghead, the main character, repeatedly taunts a lion in its cage. The narrator warns Egghead to stop provoking the lion. He did not stop. At the end of the cartoon, the lion inside the cage opens its mouth ── and from within the stomach of the lion, Egghead’s eyes appear, and his voice echoes, “I’m a baaad boy!” Moral of the story? If you poke at an Asiatic lion repeatedly or persistently, you are almost certainly provoking a defensive or predatory attack.

We should consider the following prophecy ──

“For when they say, ‘Peace and safety!’ then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall not escape.” – 1 Thessalonians 5:3.

Certainly, while the above prophecy does have a future fulfillment, it is a dire warning to not just blindly accept a ‘declaration of peace in our time’ with a nation that is led by a demon! This is why I often quote Neville Chamberlain when he returned from his appeasement of Adolf Hitler, and his raising a signed agreement that Nazi Germany would not continue the war if only France and the UK permitted Hitler to incorporate the Sudetenland – and they did! Announcing to the crowd and to the world, and now the Leftists are saying we have all heard this wrong for nearly 86 years! – “Peace in our time!” The talk of any true peace apart from the LORD God is hollow and without the understanding of mankind’s true nature.

JUDAH ── our allies in the Middle East, known as Israel, do not like this MOU ──

Israel, Stunned by Trump’s Iran Deal, Sees It as a ‘Catastrophic Capitulation’

Israel awoke to a frightening new reality on Thursday as it absorbed, with disbelief and largely in silence, the terms of President Trump’s preliminary agreement to end the war with Iran.

It accomplishes none of Israel’s war aims, analysts and officials said, and arguably leaves the country in worse shape on each of them.

Regime change? The government in Tehran is emerging from the war even more hardline and emboldened, despite being decapitated at the outset of the conflict in late February. The deal’s requirement that American forces retreat from the “proximity” of Iran within 30 days means that Iran can boast that it has chased the U.S. military out of the region. …

David Horovitz, the editor of The Times of Israel, called it “a catastrophic capitulation,” in the headline of a fiery opinion column. …

The prime minister said Israel would stick to its ultimate goal: “Iran will not have nuclear weapons.”

Yes, Israel is in a very difficult position. It has to support this MOU, but with a history of 45 Years of Revolution, Resistance, and Conflict, the Islamic Regime of Iran will surely violate this MOU.

I want you to notice that there is coming, at the end of this present evil age, not only the fact that the Roman Catholic Church will work together with a future conglomerate of Islamic nations, called ‘king of the South’ in God’s word, but His living word also shows us that this future great religious leader will turn against this “Madhi” ── this final ‘king of the South.’ Notice the following dual prophecy, showing us that this final Islamic power will be defeated ──

“’ At the time of the end the king of the South shall attack him [a final Catholic-led European civic and military leader, called the ‘king of the North’]; and the king of the North shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter the countries [the Middle Eastern countries], overwhelm them, and pass through. 41) He shall also enter the Glorious Land [Palestine], and many countries shall be overthrown; but these [initially] shall escape from his hand: Edom [which is Turkey], Moab [which is Iraq], and the prominent people of Ammon [or Jordan]. 42) He shall stretch out his hand [the ‘king of the North’] against the countries, and the land of Egypt shall not escape’” – Daniel 11:40-42.

Now … the following end-time prophecy given to the Prophet Ezekiel also concerns the great and terrible Day of the Lord, “a day of clouds, the time of the Gentiles” ── which is exactly what we are speaking about here. Now, mind you, even today most of these following nations are primarily Islamic! THE DAY OF THE LORD! It is prophetically linked to the meaning of the Day of Atonement. And it’s in the future, and we’re simply not that far away from it. Prophet Daniel in chapter 11, verses 40-43 shows us that Edom (Turkey) will initially escape the wrath of the final Catholic-led European ‘king of the North.’ Prophet Ezekiel shows us that Egypt and her allies, including Arabs, will be DESTROYED!

“’ For the DAY is near [speaking of the Day of the Lord], even the day of the LORD is near; it will be a day of clouds, the time of the Gentiles. 4) The sword shall come upon Egypt, And great anguish shall be in Ethiopia, When the slain fall in Egypt, And they take away her wealth, And her foundations are broken down’” – Ezekiel 30:3-4.

>>> Staying here in the United States of America, the Trump Administration, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States. (See: Anthropic - Statement on the US government directive to suspend access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5). Anthropic is an American artificial intelligence (AI) company headquartered in San Francisco, California. It has developed a series of large language models (LLMs) named Claude. The practical reason why the U.S. government banned Fable 5 & Mythos 5 ── Anthropic cannot reliably verify the nationality of every user in real time at scale.

The U.S. export controls are pushing European companies to create their own AI models. Siemens, Renault, and other major European firms are already using a mix of Chinese, U.S., and European models because of this ban.

To most Americans this probably doesn’t mean much, but sadly, this is but another unintended consequence of the Trump Administration “pushing” Europe further away from America as an ally and to more of a frenemy. The US ── under the Trump Administration ── is increasingly isolating itself. And even though I believe that what the Trump Administration did was for the security of our nation ── the following prophecy is getting ever closer to fulfillment ──

“How lonely sits the city That was full of people! How like a widow is she, Who was great among the nations! The princess among the provinces Has become a slave!

2) She weeps bitterly in the night, Her tears are on her cheeks; Among all her lovers She has none to comfort her. All her friends have dealt treacherously with her; They have become her enemies.” – Lamentations 1:1-2.

The United States of America has become ‘great [AGAIN] among the nations!’

“Thus he [a soon coming final Catholic-led “United States of Europe” civic and military leader, also called in prophecy the final ‘king of the North’] shall act against the strongest fortresses with a foreign god, which he shall acknowledge, and advance its glory, and he shall cause them to rule over many, and divide the land for gain.” – Daniel 11:39.

In fact, Germany is responding to the Trump Administration, and is increasing its military ──

Germany pledges to build Europe's strongest army as NATO allies answer Trump pressure.

Germany is pledging to become a more powerful military force inside NATO, with Berlin's ambassador to Washington telling Fox News Digital that the country is ready to assume greater responsibility for European security after decades in which the United States carried much of the alliance's military burden.

“Germany is stepping up — we heard the call!” …

Chancellor Friedrich Merz has said Germany's armed forces should become the strongest conventional army in Europe, a goal Hanefeld said is now backed by Berlin's new military strategy.

Now, most would applaud this. “Germany, finally stepping up!” Well, there’s a phrase, “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” Germany started WWI ── Germany started World War I on August 1, 1914, when Germany declared war on Russia. It then moved against France, capturing Paris from the north. The war began after the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria in 1914. Germany started WWII ── technically, it began in Europe on September 1, 1939, when Germany invaded Poland. Great Britain and France responded by declaring war on Germany on September 3. OH! But you say, “That was Germany of the old, we have a new Germany! A Germany that has left all that ‘Nazism’ – that far-right totalitarian ideology behind.” Notice this fairly recent report ──

Germany’s far-right and hard-left politics boomerang back to the horseshoe theory

Horseshoes may bring luck in life, but rarely in politics. …

A century on, the horseshoe theory is back like a boomerang with speculation that a hard-left party could open the door to power for the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD). …

Horseshoe theory posits that the far-left and far-right are closer to each other than to the political center, despite their ideological differences. A THIRD and final door will be opened as prophesied by our LORD God in this dual prophecy ──

“And after the league is made with him he shall act deceitfully, for he shall come up and become strong with a small number of people. 24) He shall enter peaceably, even into the richest places of the province; and he shall do what his fathers have not done, nor his forefathers: he shall disperse among them the plunder, spoil, and riches; and he shall devise his plans against the strongholds, but only for a time.” – Daniel 11:23 24.

As the king of the Seleucid Empire, Antiochus IV Epiphanes, did. He outlawed Jewish religious rites and traditions, as in ‘taking away the daily sacrifices.’ So, this final civic and military leader of a Catholic-led United Europe will do the same. He, too ── as had Antiochus IV ── will cultivate a reputation as an extravagant and generous ruler. Offering peace. In the beginning.

Yes, indeed ── and let us always thank Almighty God, and all of our wonderful and brave Veterans ── the Nazi German & European alliance was utterly defeated by Western powers in WWI & WWII! So, in this sense, his fathers of WWII and his forefathers of WWI of a soon-coming final ‘king of the North’ had failed to defeat the Western powers (the USA and the UK respectively), however ‘he shall devise his plans against the strongholds’ and shall accomplish ── but only for a short time.

Flashback November 9, 1989. As I sat on our couch in the living room watching the nightly news, the reporter excitedly announced, “I’m Peter Jennings in New York. Just a short while ago, astonishing news from East Germany where the east German authorities have said in essence, ‘the Berlin Wall doesn’t mean anything anymore. The Wall that the east Germans had put up in 1961 to keep its people in will now be breached by anyone who wants to leave.’” And I was shocked! ── because even then, at such a young age, I knew the LORD God’s dual prophecies concerning GERMANY! God’s living word teaches us that there is coming a final Catholic-led European ‘king of the North’ beast power that will have “a great army” – Daniel 11:25. And the U.S. ── several U.S. administrations recognized that a strong West German military was essential to NATO’s defense of Western Europe. The most notable push came from the Eisenhower administration in the early 1950s, but the Kennedy administration and later leaders also reinforced this policy ── so, to be fair, let’s not just “blame Trump!” □
