'Pure chaos out of nowhere': Mega-landslide and tsunami rip through Tracy Arm south of Juneau alaskapublic.org/news/environme…

On the BBC today Christiane Amanpour says that based on her reporting, the people of Iran want the Islamic Republic to go and that Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi has the most name recognition and support inside the country to lead the post-regime transition.

Make books great again. 🙌

What is so remarkable is that the Bible speaks of a time in the latter days when the leadership of Elam would be deposed, and God’s glory would be so great that His throne will be established in that place! In Jeremiah 49 we read of a time in the “latter days” when the people of Elam (located in Iran) will be scattered across the world. Elam is one of the ancient kingdoms that made up ancient Persia and geographically is part of present-day Iran. The scattering of Iranian people happened as a result of the Islamic revolution in the late 1970s and 80s, and up to today. As a result both of the cruel Iranian regime and also fleeing to Christian countries, many Iranians have left Islam and found faith in Yeshua, and many also come to faith with a big heart for Israel. Here’s what Jeremiah predicted, thousands of years ago about the time we are living in now: Thus says the Lord of hosts: “Behold, I will break the bow of Elam, the mainstay of their might. And I will bring upon Elam the four winds from the four quarters of heaven. And I will scatter them to all those winds, and there shall be no nation to which those driven out of Elam shall not come. I will terrify Elam before their enemies and before those who seek their life. I will bring disaster upon them, my fierce anger, declares the Lord. I will send the sword after them, until I have consumed them, and I will set my throne in Elam and destroy their king and officials, declares the Lord. “But in the latter days I will restore the fortunes of Elam, declares the Lord.” (Jeremiah 49:35-39) The “throne of God” speaks of His authority and kingdom rule. Reports from Iran indicate that over 50,000 mosques have closed and that there could be as many as a million believers in Iran today, all counting the God of Israel as their Lord and Savior. It is the fastest growing church in the world, and has been for some decades. These are not average believers either — they are mighty men and women of God who endure terrible persecution, imprisonment, torture and execution. God will surely hear their cries for freedom and justice. And look how Jeremiah describes the judgement coming to the leaders: God will “break the bow” of Elam, the “mainstay of their might”. This sounds very much like their capacity to fire weapons. We also see that God will “destroy their king and officials”, that the leaders will be taken out. Lastly we see that in the “latter days” God plans to “restore the fortunes” of the people, a phrase that can also be translated, “restore the captives” and is seen in several places in scripture, often referring to God gathering people to Himself by raiding the camp of the Enemy. This is good news for the people of Iran! And can you imagine what could happen if the regime falls and there is peace with Israel? All these wonderful believers could be free to come to Israel, bringing the light of Yeshua with them! This is our hope and our prayer: the breaking of the bow, the deposing of leaders, freedom for the captives… and God’s glorious kingdom coming to Iran.

@JeanneTakenaka Hmm. Do you know more about Gregory Peck? Was he part of the Rat Pack, so-called, with Frank Sinatra and Peter Lawford? Maybe I'm wrong. Or maybe a later in life realization of where he was at with God.
