All right. So today's update is one of those updates that I'll need to ask you to bear with me as we sort through all that's happened in this last week. Suffice it to say it's been a very busy week,

so much happening so fast. And because so much is happening so fast, I took the time this last

week to go back into my archives and revisit a prophecy puzzle that I have put

together many years ago. I've probably been about 10 years ago now. And what I'm hoping to accomplish

today is to answer some of the questions related to how everything fits together.

How does all of this fit together?

And what is the timing of all of this and why is it that it seems everything is moving so fast?

I want to begin with the presupposition that you all know about Tuesday's Iranian ballistic missile strikes on U.S. bases in Iraq.

This was right before our prayer meeting on Tuesday night and thankfully

there were no casualties. However, we were talking about this this morning before first service.

As more information became available, it's believed that Iran intended to kill Americans in this retaliation for the death of Soleimani.

Sadly, it was also reported that Iran mistakenly shot down a Ukrainian airliner hours after the strike and they used a Russian-made

missile and mistakenly thought it was incoming and they brought down and they they

would not admit to it until just this last week.

I think it was on Thursday or Friday they finally admitted that they had done it.

Well this led to what we saw yesterday with all of these protests in Iran and

interesting they're not shouting death to America death to Israel these are the

Iranian people remember now it's so important to make a distinction between the

regime the Islamic Republic of Iran and the people of Iran many of whom by the way

would prefer to be called Persians, not Iranians.

You know, in the last century, it used to be Persia.

But 100 years ago, they changed their name to Iran.
