THE PROPHECY NEWS PODCAST: Trump's War In Iran And Putin's War In Ukraine Are Now Connected
NTEB BIBLE RADIO: Rightly DividingShow Notes
For four and a half years, NTEB has warned that Vladimir Putin’s slow-moving war in Ukraine was never merely about capturing Ukrainian territory. Ukraine was the bait, NATO was the target, and the restoration of Russian domination over the former Soviet sphere was always the larger prize. Now Putin’s grinding European war is beginning to overlap President Donald Trump’s expanding war against Iran, placing the United States between two interconnected conflicts while American weapons stockpiles are being rapidly depleted. We told you this was coming, and now it’s here in all its end times glory. How ya liking the “golden age” so far? Welcome to Day 161 of World War Trump.
“Proclaim ye this among the Gentiles; Prepare war, wake up the mighty men, let all the men of war draw near; let them come up:” Joel 3:9 (KJB)
On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, according to a new Wall Street Journal report, American intelligence officials believe Putin could attempt to test NATO’s resolve with anything from a cyberattack and sabotage operation to an incursion by unmarked troops or a small-scale land assault against an Eastern European NATO member. The warning window reportedly begins in the autumn of 2026 and extends through 2029. The most dangerous part of this new assessment is not merely that Russia might attack NATO. It is that the warning comes as President Trump’s war with Iran moves into its sixth month, forcing the United States to sustain military operations in the Middle East while simultaneously supplying Ukraine and attempting to deter Russia, China and North Korea. These are no longer isolated regional wars, the battlefields are beginning to overlap. Russia and Iran are not unrelated adversaries operating in separate corners of the world. They are military partners. Iran supplied Russia with drones and military technology for use against Ukraine. Russia has provided Iran with diplomatic cover, military cooperation and economic support. Both nations have grown closer to China and North Korea as they work to weaken American influence and break the Western-controlled global order. Now Ukraine has reportedly begun striking military supply routes connecting Iran and Russia through the Caspian Sea, demonstrating that the Ukraine and Iran battlefields are physically converging. Think about what that means.
Ukrainian forces, using Western-supported technology, are attacking supply lines connecting Russia and Iran while American forces are bombing Iranian targets and NATO is preparing for a possible Russian attack in Eastern Europe. Russia is fighting Ukraine. The United States is fighting Iran. Iran is supporting Russia. The United States and NATO are supporting Ukraine. Ukraine is attacking the supply network between Russia and Iran. These wars are no longer merely occurring at the same time. They are beginning to touch, merge and feed one another.
Here is the nightmare scenario: Russia challenges NATO while America is fighting Iran, and China uses the distraction to move against Taiwan. Three fronts, interconnected adversaries and one increasingly stretched American military. This is not science fiction, this is the actual strategic situation being assembled in real time. You are looking at WWIII square in the face. Today, we give you everything you need to know about how all this affects the end times timeline.

There is something almost surreal taking place in the world this morning. After months of relentless warfare in the Middle East, economic upheaval, political chaos and increasingly frightening international headlines, we appear to have entered what can best be described as the eye of the hurricane. The end times hurricane. We have reached that strange, deceptive moment when the winds temporarily subside, the skies seem to clear, and everything becomes eerily quiet. But anyone who has ever lived through a major hurricane, and here in Florida we’ve lived through a bunch of them, knows that the eye is not the end of the storm. It is the brief interval between the devastation you have already experienced and the devastation that’s still coming. The most dangerous thing you can do while standing in the eye of a hurricane is convince yourself that the storm is over. I’m here to tell you it’s not, not by a long shot.
Something very strange is happening on the campaign trail as President Donald Trump crisscrosses America desperately trying to rescue Republican control of Congress in the upcoming midterm elections. With his approval ratings collapsing, the Iran war dragging on, and the American people increasingly frustrated by an economy that looks nothing like the promised Golden Age, the president has suddenly become fascinated with describing other men’s bodies, particularly Senator Jon Husted’s muscular backside, shoulders, legs and feet. Then there’s his continuing celebration of the Village People’s “Y.M.C.A.,” which he calls the “gay national anthem,” while telling audiences how much Melania hates watching him dance to it. But what if these increasingly bizarre performances are not simply Trump losing control of the narrative? What if they are helping him deliberately change it? Former Trump strategist Steve Bannon famously described a political technique called “flood the zone,” overwhelming the news media with a nonstop barrage of distractions and controversies until the important stories get buried beneath the spectacle. Pay no attention to that man behind the golden curtain.
The world is becoming accustomed to things that should be shaking it wide awake. Israel has raised its military readiness as violence continues in Gaza and the West Bank, while the confrontation with Hezbollah remains unresolved beneath Lebanon’s fragile ceasefire. Saudi Arabia is struggling to defend its airports and infrastructure against Houthi missiles and drones. Today, a Houthi missile attack reportedly killed at least 20 government troops in Yemen. Meanwhile, the confrontation in the Strait of Hormuz continues threatening the movement of oil through one of the world’s most important shipping routes. These conflicts reach far beyond the people directly under fire: disrupted supplies and higher prices carry their consequences into households thousands of miles away.

Watching Tesla’s new Roadster climb a ramp upside down, rotate in midair and land on its wheels feels like watching science fiction step off the movie screen. The demonstration is astonishing, and when you place it alongside AI’s growing ability to interpret information, plan tasks and operate machinery, the implications reach far beyond a new sports car. We are watching technologies converge that could reshape how people work, travel, communicate and make decisions. This is a vivid illustration of a world experiencing an extraordinary increase in knowledge. “But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.” Yet increased knowledge brings an ancient question roaring back into view: what happens when mankind’s growing abilities only serve its pride, and not the God that gave those talents? At Babel, human ingenuity became an instrument of collective self-exaltation to the point where the LORD stepped in to stop it. In the time that’s coming, He’s gonna just let it go and play out for 7 glorious, terrible years.
