today I want to take you on a prophetic journey that connects three battlegrounds: Israel Iran and ideology and at the center of the confrontation is the truth itself we're going to deal with three major things in this update number one why Candace Owens is sincerely wrong even if well-intentioned number two the prophetic timeline God has been revealing here on Prophetic Update since 2020 and number three the endtime theology the esquetology that fuels Iran yes we're going to be taking a look at Iranian end times and why it mirrors our own as Christian believers but before we tackle canned and the mainstream media and the war for truth I want to take you back back to what the Lord has been saying through prophecy long before the headlines knew where to look so take a look at this prophecy that goes all the way back to October 9 2023 called Iran Intensified what's coming is we're going to see Iran intensified and there's something about Iran i heard the enemy say we cannot let Israel have this peace treaty with Saudi Arabia what you're going to see coming in the news you're going to see Iran you're going to see is Iran backing Hamas to do what they're doing because they're trying to make sure two nations never shake hands these are the sirens over Jerusalem and the explosions in the sky there over Israel some 300 drones and that word began to unfold almost immediately now in case you think well maybe he's hopping on to the news let's go back to January 30th 2020 when the Lord showed me that Israel will go to war with Iran over hidden tunnels and hidden nuclear sites in case you don't remember we have it here for you i will uncover secret alliances to back terror the secret supply lines and hidden tunnels and I will uncover hidden sites in Iran and in Iraq and his hidden under historic monuments that men thought that no one would come looking under there because of the history israel now saying that 50 tunnels leading from Rafa the southernmost city in Gaza have been found and they are leading over to Egypt nearly 700 tunnel shafts have been identified in Rafa and about 50 of them cross into Egypt hamas uses the tunnels to supply itself with weapons and ammo and could even use them to smuggle hostages out of Gaza and there again the Lord showed us here that there were secret infrastructure hidden nuclear facilities and the war beneath the war finally I want you to take a look at this video it leans in to a January 2024 word that I spoke and then again I spoke on Sid Roth's program when you hear the news Iraq and Iran seek plans against Israel know that a new clock has started not one counting up but the Lord says one counting down tommy you sent me a a word that God showed you so specific having to do with what's going on in Israel because that was an intensified Iran on the forefront and Iran was going to be riled up to do something against Israel so when the Hamas thing happened the Hamas infiltration the airline and sea attack that we saw this year the Lord told me to unmask Hamas and to reveal and expose the real face hiding behind Hamas and this so I went live on our program and I shared this is not Hamas hamas is the psy hamas is the PR face hamas is who they're going to point at saying it is Hamas this is actually Iran candace Owens has raised a fair question many are she sympathizes with the Palestinian plight she believes Israel has been aggressive perhaps even complicit in regional destabilization and she's not alone you cannot understand Iran's aggression without understanding their esquetology iran does have an esquetology and it's this that Candace Owens likely doesn't know about and most mainstream media will never report most of the Western media left or right have no framework to interpret Iran's moves because they don't understand the Messiah they're waiting for but we as prophetic people must because whoever holds the narrative holds the nation and we've got to understand God's report long before we understand CNN MSNBC's Fox News and certainly even Candace Owens because Iran is not just making threats they are fulfilling prophecy their own you see Iran is ruled by a group of clerics who believe in 12 Shiism it's called 12 esquetology the dominant branch of Shia Islam here's what they believe number one they believe the Mai their messiah figure is the 12th and last im his name is Muhammad al- Mahadi number two he disappeared as a child in 874 AD and is said to be in occultation which means hidden by God number three they believe he will appear again at the end time to lead a global Islamic revolution destroy Israel establish Islamic justice from Jerusalem and rule the world with Jesus who they call Issa returning under him as his assistant or servant uh this is modernday belief in in uh Islam and people like Candace Owens do not fully understand that Islam is not anti- good but it is certainly antichrist here is the spirit of the antichrist he that does not believe that Jesus came in the flesh the one that denies the resurrection of the Messiah the one that denies that Jesus died and rose from the dead is the spirit of the antichrist we've looked everywhere for the antichrist among the anti-God we don't realize that the antichrist will be progod he just will be antichrist or as Daniel said he will not honor the god of his fathers but with a foreign god he will introduce into the land this isn't theory its stated policy in modern-day Iran today ayatollah Ali Kamei Supreme Leader of Iran said this "The coming of Imam Mahadi we should prepare the ground for his return." And that's a source from Fox News agency in 2014 former President Mahmud Ahmed in a UN speech said this the ultimate promise of all divine religions is a perfect human being who is named Imam Al Mahadi he will return along with Jesus Christ Issa and the righteous peace and brotherhood will be ushered in he even left a chair empty at cabinet meetings for the Mahadi believing that he was there and this is why Netanyahu may not be aggressive enough while Israel strategizes based on missiles nukes and military capability Iran is strategizing based on theology and destiny and they are fully believing that the Imam cannot come unless the little devil Israel the big devil America is destroyed iran believes it is paving the way for the Mahadi and the encumbrance to that paving of the way is America the big pig and Israel the little pig and in their belief chaos is necessary for the Mardi to return you see Aladin once said "The final war between believers and the infidels is coming and it will hasten the Mardis return." So while Israel is trying to prevent war Iran may be trying to provoke it believing it will ultimately summon their Messiah and this is where most of the West miscalculates you cannot reason with a regime that believes Armageddon is their altar where does this take us prophetically you see Iran's messiah sounds a lot like Christians like Candace Owens and myself our Antichrist their Mahadi equals our Antichrist and our Christ our false prophet actually in Revelation may be their Jesus that's coming with the 12th imam can you see how this is playing out shiite belief is that Hidden Mahadi will return and rule the world from Jerusalem christian prophetic parallel says antichrist will set up rule from Jerusalem according to sec Thessalonians chapter 2:4 the she believe is mahadi will establish one global religion revelation 13:8 says antichrist will force all to worship him who do not have the mark you see Shiite belief in Iran is that the mahadi will be assisted by Jesus Issa who denies the cross the false prophet of Christianity aids the beast and uh deceives many according to Revelation chapter 13 11-4 Mahadi in Shiite Iranian belief arrival comes through global chaos you see here the antichrist is released through war and deception according to Daniel 8 23 see Iran sees Israel not just as a political rival but as a theological impediment to the Mahadi same with America and England and the rest of the Western world that sides with Israel destroying Israel equals removing the enemy before the hidden Imam returns iran funds Hezbollah Hamas and militants not just for politics but because every war in their eyes is prophecy unfolding let's now go deeper into what the Quran and Hadith actually say because what Iran believes about Jesus Isa is chilling number one they believe Jesus was not crucified this is Surah 4157 of the Quran and for their saying indeed we have killed the Messiah Jesus the son of Mary the messenger of Allah and they did not kill him nor did they crucify him but another was made to resemble him to them this verse is fundamental to Islamic esquetology it denies the cross and in Iran's narrative proves Christianity was corrupted number two Jesus will return not as Lord but as Makadi's servant this is Sahi alkari hadith 3448 and sahi Muslim hadith 155 he Jesus or Issa will break the cross kill the pigs and abolish jiza which is the tax for non-Muslims this means he will destroy Christianity remove the gospel and enforce Islam by force this is who people like Candice are supporting in Iranian theology Jesus returns to correct Christians not to save the world why Iran's theocracy is esquetology by design i want to give you the list they will never show you on any news and Canis Owens has likely never been briefed on number one Iran is the world's only 12 Shia theocracy since 1979 Islamic Revolution Iran is ruled by Ayatollah's who openly claimed to be preparing the world for the Mahadi the supreme leader currently Ayatollah Kame Kameage isn't just a politician he believes he's the custodian of the hidden imam's mission on earth number two Iran's constitution mentions mism article five and 110 of Iranian constitution affirm the guardianship of the jurist which is the uh and forgive me if I murder this the wheel at alaj which means until the mai returns Iran must be ruled by a Shia cleric the government is not secular it is explicitly designed to pave the way for the mard's return that gives spiritual license for nuclear weapons region militants proxy wars and global agitation because to them chaos is the trigger number three K the maiest capital the city of K is where the theological groundwork for the end times is taught it is the Vatican of Shia Islam but instead of preaching peace they train future clerics to preach apocalyptic war the clerics coming out of Quam believe Israel must be removed and America must fall for the madi to emerge and number and number four war is welcome as a birth canal unlike the West where we see war as a problem the Iranian clerical class sees war as a pathway they believe the Mard's return only after global injustice strife and the collapse of systems in other words the worse the world becomes the closer his return and some radicals believe they can hasten his return by sparking the fire themselves this is why no deal no treaty and no sanctions relief will ever change Iran's behavior and the president of the United States and others around the world must know this so here are the questions CNN won't ask tucker Carlson hasn't asked and Candace Owens may never understand are we watching politics while missing prophecy in disguise iran's actions aren't just foreign policy they're esqueological obedience number two can the church outlast a people who believe war accelerates their Messiah we're scared of war but what happens when your enemy wants one number three if Iran is preparing for its Messiah again I ask you are we preparing for ours jesus said be ready question is are we and number four is the church afraid of the end while Iran is weaponizing theirs they built missiles on theology we've built sermons on comfort pause let that settle in and now that you understand the spirit behind Iran's actions let's go higher let's go to where it all began let's talk about a mountain let's talk about the first gate of hell let's talk about Mount Herman and why Jesus chose that exact mountain to say "I will build my church." To understand where the final war is going we must remember where the first one began mount Hermon the first gate of hell mount Hermon is today a towering peak on Israel's northeastern border stretching into Syria and Lebanon but biblically this isn't just a mountain it's a portal according to Jude 1:14 according to apocryphal text and according to the book of Genesis it was the mountain where the sons of God saw that the daughters of men were beautiful and took wives of them to try to corrupt the seed of the Messiah that location the summit of Herman was where 200 fallen angels descended and made a covenant with one another and opened the first spiritual gate of hell known in the New Testament as well this wasn't just a rebellion it was an invasion but the world has forgotten herman was also a watchtower of watchers an ancient altar of corruption and guess who intentionally walks into that territory yes Jesus at Ceera Philippi Mount Herman's base in Matthew 16:13-19 when Jesus came to that same mountain where hell's gate opened he said "I will build my church upon this rock and the gates of hell will not prevail against it." He's not speaking metaphorically he's saying "Right here where the first rebellion happened I will reclaim that gate the war began here and it's going to end here with my church planted on top of it fast forward to 2024 iran is arming militias in Lebanon and Syria right along the Herman range hezbollah entrenched in southern Lebanon iranian proxy forces flooding Damascus weapons drones and hidden bunkers all pointed towards Israel from the very mountain where hell first opened this isn't just strategy it's spiritual reclamation hell wants Herman back but guess what god is already building his church there iran believes it iran Iran believe it or not is the epicenter of a Joel 2 manifestation which says "I'll pour out my spirit on all flesh and they'll dream dreams and they'll prophesy." It's now home to the fastest growing underground church in the world according to Operation World the growth rate of Christianity in Iran is 19.6% 6% per year thousands of Muslims are having dreams of Jesus women are leading underground house churches former imams are converting after secret encounters with Yeshua you know what that sounds like it sounds like I will build my church and the gates of hell will not prevail against it god has already started the reclamation of Herman and he's building his church at the foot of Satan's oldest most ancient mountain perhaps that's why the Lord told me this now put the prophecy about Iranian church pray for the Iranian church just think about just think about how powerful that is but as revival grows so does resistance in Daniel 10 when the angel finally reached Daniel after 21 days of delay he said "The prince of Persia withtood me 21 days but Michael one of the chief princes came to help me." The Prince of Persia is not Iran's president it's Iran's principality it has reawakened it's existed every president since Daniel's day it's trying again to stop prophetic breakthrough to delay angelic answers and to wage war in the unseen realm but what did God do last time he sent Michael a new angelic God is rising i believe the Archangel Michael is on assignment again but this time he will not come alone because this war is not Daniel's alone it's ours the church revelation 12:7 says "And there was war in heaven michael and his angels fought God and his angels." We are in a prophetic war over Israel a spiritual war over Herman and a churchwide war over truth we must pray like never before because while Iran is preparing for their mai we must prepare for our king for the spirit of God says "My people this is the hour of the Daniels just as I raised one man in Babylon among magicians astrologers and kings drunk with power so I'm raising Daniels again in this generation and their weapon will not be swords but excellence and the spirit of revelation and the ability to discern the times and seasons in the middle of empire decay this is the hour where excellence will cause you to excel yes I will mark my Daniels with wisdom with language with dreams and with divine favor among rulers who do not fear me i will cause you to interpret what kings cannot understand and solve riddles that confound nations the Lord says "Watch now for I will detonate the sleepers hidden in the earth one by one over the next 5 years I will expose the hidden agreements the secret networks and the silent altars in the east and the west for the east will become the west and the west will become the east and the lines that once made sense will blur." Do not say "Surely we are safe because we are in the west." For I tell you your enemy is already within your gates oh western world the stage is already set the curtains are already drawn but this is not the hour to run to the mountains and hide this is not the time to be obsessed with the escape and headlines this is not the time to be occupied with my coming no says the Lord this is the hour where I declare occupy till I come these are the end times but I declare unto you they are not the dead end times says the Lord i am not finished with the earth i am not finished with the nations i am not finished with you my bride and I am not done gathering my harvest for strength will come not to those who cons consume political narratives but to those who understand prophetic ones if you want peace open my books if you want strength hear what my spirit is saying if you want clarity remember what Daniel remembered that kings rise and kings fall but I remained enthroned above them all do not be distracted my bride for distraction is the enemy's of discernment and discernment is your oil in these last days I am anointing Daniels to rise in government to rise in economies to rise in education to rise in media to rise in the pulpits and in the palace but study says the Lord and pray so that I can give you the right message and the lion's den will not devour you and the fire will not consume you for I will make you inflammable and inedible to darkness and the schemes of empire will not seduce you for I have placed in your hand a scroll and it is time to eat the book to prophesy again and to stand where kings tremble this is your hour Daniels now rise and excel
