Right now, people in America are so confused by what is happening in the world, primarily because they are distracted by all sorts of things, all this confusion is by design.

First, let me give you my take on the geopolitical situation in the Middle East and then I will touch on the concept of confusion being used as a tactic by the enemy.

Russia is the super player here, they are connected to Iran, which is literally building a power base in that part of the world and many folks are turning a blind eye to it, they are simply missing it. In my opinion, Russia is building the former USSR

Iran is putting together, right now, if you look at their geographical gatherings, they are in effect, rebuilding the Persian empire. The Persian Empire was a series of dynasties that ruled in ancient times in what is now modern-day Iran. At its height, it encompassed the areas of modern-day Iran, Egypt, Turkey, and parts of Afghanistan and Pakistan. The Persian Empire was also called the Achaemenid Empire. Cyrus the Great first conquered the Median Empire in 550 BC and then went on to conquer the Lydians and the Babylonians. Under later kings, the empire would grow to where it ruled Mesopotamia, Egypt, Israel, and Turkey.

Under Iran are Hezbollah and Hamas, they are two large armies that are terrorist’ organizations

Hamas controls Gaza. Hezbollah controls Lebanon. They are on the borders of Israel. Hamas has 150,000 rockets. It is my opinion that those rockets are launched when Iran gives the green light. And speaking of giving something green, The Illegitimate Obama and Biden Administration (not plural) gives plenty of our greenbacks to Iran, we are the ones who fund them.

Recently, Kamala Harris and Biden announced the country’s first National Strategy to Counter Islamophobia.

According to my Google search, Islamophobia is the fear of, hatred of, or prejudice against the religion of Islam or Muslims in general, especially when seen as a geopolitical force or a source of terrorism. Be well advised, that Islamic countries are a geopolitical force and a very real source of terrorism. As for the Nation of Islam, they were founded right here in the USA and have a consistent record of antisemitism and bigotry since its founding in the 1930s.

We have enemies among us, and they did not have to sneak in through something like a big fake horse. The story of the Trojan Horse is well-known. First mentioned in the Odyssey, it describes how Greek soldiers were able to take the city of Troy after a fruitless ten-year siege by hiding in a giant horse supposedly left as an offering to the goddess Athena.

These terrorists are looking for an airfield in Damascus so that there will be a military air force to combat Israel’s air force in coming conflicts. Israel knows this.

Israel is now surrounded, and these rockets are now flooding into Israel. Israel must bomb these places to survive because the rocket assaults are overcoming the dome systems that they have in place. Many rockets are getting through, if they send 20 Rockets, probably 10 will get through, this war has Jewish bloodshed.

This absolutely affects every single person in America because this same Hezbollah group is looking for a base of operation in America so that there can be major terrorist activity performed in this nation by Hezbollah, which is controlled by Iran. Recall that Barack Obama gave $150 Billion, to help them form what they’ve got now.

Rev. John Hagee fully believes that what we are watching is the birth of the Gog/Magog wars that are described by the prophet Ezekiel in Ch. 38 and 39.

To that, Ezekiel makes it very clear that in the last days, God is going to put a hook in the jaw of the king of the north, Rev. Hagee thinks that it is current-day Russia and that Russia will be dragged down into the middle east

I am not 100% sure about Pastor John Hagee’s take on this, but I am 100% sure about one thing, and that is that God is in control of the situation, and those who think they are acting independently are merely fooling themselves.

When you investigate the Hebrew meaning of the word for our English translation “hook” it is “chach” and it means a hook or a ring (in the nose of a captive)

Two things remain that I want to discuss:

1. Confusion is being used as a tactic by the enemy
2. And remind us that this is a spiritual conflict.

Nehemiah 4:8 “and all of them conspired together to come and attack Jerusalem and create confusion”

The (Net) translation puts it this way: All of them conspired together to move with armed forces against Jerusalem and to create a disturbance in it.

Reminds me of the old Westerns: The old’ deflection technique. In the scenes where someone is being pursued into the mountains, they get cornered and then they pick up a rock or stick, throw it into a push to make a sound, and divert the pursuer’s attention into that direction so that they can make a quick getaway.

Deflection is often used to shift focus away from oneself and onto another person or issue. People commonly divert the pressure from themselves by changing the subject, pointing out someone else’s flaws, or presenting unrelated information to distract from the main issue at hand.

Read Nehemiah Ch. 4:7-9

I want us to recognize that the enemy tries to attack the work of God by bringing confusion, let us pray and be on guard against it.

When things are not clearly communicated, when people simply don’t know what is next, or when they cannot see their way ahead, it is easy for confusion or misconceptions to settle it. 

It is said that being in a state of confusion means: not being able to think clearly or quickly; feeling disoriented; struggling to pay attention, making decisions, or even remembering things correctly.

Do you see how confusion is used by the enemy and why we should specifically pray and be on guard against it?

That is what they are doing to us with all this misinformation and the media lies to us, nobody knows what is true or not

Now on to the Spiritual Aspects:

The Bible says, “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places”

NOT… against flesh and blood: One of the church’s greatest demands is to discern between the spiritual struggle and other social, personal, and political difficulties. Otherwise, individual believers and groups become too easily detoured, “wrestling” with human adversaries instead of prayerfully waring against the invisible works of hell behind the scenes.

1. There are spiritual resources available to the church today: (Ep. 1:3)
   1. (v.3) Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ,
      1. Spiritual Blessings refers to divine privileges and resources available now, that is, chosen, adopted, forgiven, 1 Cor. 12:1 uses the same Greek word for “spiritual” in referring to the gifts of the Holy Spirit, evidencing that they are among the “blessings” included

1. Spiritual gifts are portions of God’s grace. They display the personal, powerful presence of the Holy Spirit and are given to every believer for the common good of the church. Though we vary in what seems to be each believer’s dominant gifting from God’s creative work in us, the Holy Spirit will give us whatever is needed (v.11) to minister to distinct circumstances.
   1. He distributes these freely and readily in the moment of need to enable the believer’s ministry in Jesus’ name.

1. Something to keep in mind, Spiritual gifts are not badges of honor or signs of spiritual maturity.

• They are not “earned”.

• Our attitude concerning the gifts is to be willing, available, good-hearted friends of Jesus.

• We are to be compassionate friends of those in need, confident of God’s promise and power gifts to serve such needs.
• Remember: Christ has authority over all evil (Ep. 1:21)
  • Principalities and power and might and dominion are terms consistently used for ruling authorities in both the visible and invisible realms (3:10).
  • The NT reveals an invisible hierarchy of evil powers who deceive and manipulate human behavior, thereby advancing satanic strategies.
  • Christ Himself and all who are in Christ are shown to be placed in authority above these powers, and authority that only spiritual warfare can assert, demonstrate, and sustain (6:12)

There is Eternal Purpose!

We don’t have time to dig deeper now but know this: God has a plan to gather the fragmented and alienated universe so that human history ultimately culminates in achieving His purpose.

God intends to display the church before all evil powers as His instruments to dispense throughout the earther what He has already accomplished in Christ: That is, through Jesus’s death, resurrection, and ascension.
