Summary
Be a Denison Forum Frontline Partner
As Iran has expanded the war by targeting US allies in the Middle East, it is facing a consequence it apparently did not expect: the Wall Street Journal reports that “Gulf states, rattled by volleys of Iranian drones and missiles targeting their hotels, ports, and airports, are concluding the Iranian peril must be confronted.” However, there is a consequence to the Arab states’ involvement in the war that is not military or political but spiritual and eternal. Our “front lines” in this conflict are the prayers by which we wage spiritual war for the protection of innocents and the conversion of multitudes.
