The USA and Israel struck Iran on the Sabbath of February 28, 2026. The blatant violation of God’s holy Sabbath is clearly condemned by the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. As some articles point out, the rationale for the strike is not clear at all, even though explanations shift; and neither is Iran’s future. While regime change seems to be one of the declared goals, what kind of regime will Iran have? If this is developing into a major war, America will not be successful, as America has won no major war since World War II, and it will not win any major war prior to Christ’s return.

Day-to-day life changed for just about everyone on the planet, causing many to not know what to do next. People made all kinds of wild speculations about what the future would hold, but nobody really knew what would happen. The future was not clear.

Would you please explain in detail Paul’s three missionary journeys? (Part 4)
In the last three Q&As, we covered Paul’s first and parts of his second missionary journeys. We discussed his experiences in Athens where most rejected his teachings. He then departed from there and went to Corinth. He arrived there about 50 AD.
Corinth was an extremely evil city, filled with temple prostitutes who “served” during the day in the temple of Aphrodite, the goddess of “love,” and would come down in the evening for their sexual activities. Some of those problems of the Corinthians were carried into the church which Paul would establish (see 1 Corinthians 5:1-2), and Paul later wrote two letters to the Corinthian church, while he was in Ephesus, correcting illicit behavior. He also pointed out that some of the brethren had been fornicators, adulterers, homosexuals and sodomites, but upon baptism, they had been washed, sanctified and justified (1 Corinthians 6:9-11).
