They Used Jesus to Justify the Iran War, And Now Its Leading to the Image of the Beast | TTP 33

from The Truth Project · host The Truth Project

The war with Iran is not just being sold as a geopolitical conflict. It is increasingly being framed as a spiritual battle.Reports from service members claim military commanders have told troops that the Iran war is “part of God’s divine plan,” that it could usher in Armageddon, and even that President Trump was “anointed by Jesus.” More than 200 complaints have reportedly come from military personnel across dozens of installations, leading members of Congress to request a formal investigation into whether biblical prophecy is being used to justify war.This is the very definition of the false prophet: using false prophecy to justify real-world action.In this episode of The Truth Project, Matthew Schanche and Andrew Bikichky explore how the Bible says the false prophet will eventually exercise the power of the first beast, the power of a unified church/state theocracy like Rome once had. That means Protestant America and the Papacy may appear divided for a time, but prophecy says they will eventually unite.Right now, however, the world is being pushed into two camps. It's either Trump or the Pope. And both choices lead to destruction according to the Bible.On one side is Trump, Hegseth, Rubio, and the evangelical movement framing the Iran war in prophetic terms, using language about Armageddon, end times, and God’s will. Ironically, while Rubio condemns Iran’s leaders as “religious fanatics,” many of the same voices around the administration are using their own equally fanatical apocalyptic beliefs to justify military action.On the other side is Pope Leo, as the ultimate hypocrite, falsely presenting Rome, the enemy of God's people, as the voice of peace, diplomacy, and moral restraint. He has repeatedly condemned the war and stated that “God does not bless any conflict.”The reality is, the Bible clearly shows that the US, Israel and Iran and controlled by Rome.What most don't realize is this conflict is leading to people being driven into one of two camps: you are expected to support the war, support Trump, and support "Christian Zionism" — or oppose the war and move toward sympathy with Rome, the exact power the Bible warns to separate from.Neither side represents the kingdom of God.Much like the king of the north and king of the south, both powers are ultimately instruments of Satan in order to bring a one world religious system. While they may appear to be enemies today, prophecy says they will not remain enemies forever.Ellen White warned of this exact union when she wrote back in 1888:“In order for the United States to form an image of the beast, the religious power must so control the civil government that the authority of the state will also be employed by the church to accomplish her own ends.”This is where we sit in 2026. The image of the beast is forming right in front of our eyes.Our goal at The Truth Project is to help people distinguish between the real and the counterfeit.“Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines.” — Hebrews 13:9“Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord...” — 2 Corinthians 6:17--Make sure to also check out and support Brother Andrew Bikichky's personal ministry at: https://sanctuarydoorministry.comNEW DONATION INFORMATIONUS DONORS CAN NOW RECEIVE TAX RECEIPTS FOR 2026 WHEN USING THE NEW DONATION LINKS BELOW - IF YOU USE ZELLE PLEASE INCLUDE YOUR EMAIL IN THE MESSAGE OR WE CAN NOT PROVIDE TAX RECEIPTS: Questions about donations?
