Biblical Fruit Reappears in Israel After 2,000 Years

Operation Epic Fury is now in its third week, and the Strait of Hormuz and the price of gasoline have become major factors in the war. Meanwhile, Israel contends that Jerusalem and Washington are ahead of schedule in their war goals.

Easter reminds us that after being crucified, Jesus Christ then rose from the dead to reign with his Father in Heaven. Forty days earlier at the transfiguration, Jesus gave a preview of the inheritance his followers will receive.

The war with Iran is intensifying across the Middle East as the conflict's ripples are being felt in the United States. Israel and the U.S. have expanded strikes inside Iran, and Iranian missiles are targeting Israeli cities. The newest terror-related attacks in America are raising alarm about the conflict's globat reach.

Before a missile strike killed Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, he oversaw oppression and funded terror groups, including Hamas and Hezbollah. Investigations reveal that he also controlled a financial empire, which is now headed by his son, Mojtaba, Iran's new supreme leader.

Iran and Hezbollah ramped up their attacks on Israel and other Middle Eastern players overnight and continued the attacks on Thursday as President Trump indicated that the war would be over soon.

The U.S. said it destroyed 16 mine-laying Iranian vessels on Tuesday after reports that Iran is ready to put mines in the Strait of Hormuz to disrupt oil shipments. Also on Tuesday, a suspected projectile hit a cargo ship in the straits, setting it on fire. Most of the crew was evacuated.

As the war in Iran moves into day 11, President Trump announced that it could be ending soon, and that may involve calling on U.S. Special Forces to force regime change.

Iran appointed a new leader on Sunday as it continues to launch missiles and drones at Israel, along with Hezbollah in Lebanon, sending Israelis to bomb shelters. At the same time, Israel and the U.S. are targeting Iranian infrastructure and making progress.
