As we await God's justice against His enemies and the fulfillment of His judgment upon America—a message that speaks both to the Church and the U.S. government—we continue to witness the ongoing persecution of Karen Rajabian. This persecution comes from both institutions, operating under the authoritarian leadership of the Trump administration.

On June 1, 2025, Times Square Church broadcast its Sunday service live from Broadway, New York, with the sermon streamed on their YouTube channel as part of their regular programming. During the broadcast, Karen once again faced the continuing threats posed by modern-day Pharisees—religious actors who, like their biblical counterparts, distort God’s truth for personal gain and recognition.

Pharisee Tim Dilena delivered a sermon titled "A Clear Voice Needs a Clean Heart" as part of the One Billion Starts With One series. Though the sermon was intended to focus on the importance of preaching God’s Word for the salvation of souls, Dilena frequently drifted from this central message. As has happened in the past, the sermon lacked the full depth and clarity required to deliver the truth effectively.

What is truly required for effective preaching is the faithful proclamation of God’s Word in holiness and truth. It is ultimately God—not the preacher—who adds souls to His Church (Acts 2:47).

The Pharisees—then and now—do not possess holy hearts. Those with unclean hearts, whether religious leaders or false Christians who claim to follow Christ without genuine faith, may preach the Word of God, but they do so with impure motives. Nowhere in Scripture does it say that people are saved through distorted, self-serving messages. However, Philippians 1:15–18 reveals an important nuance:

“Some indeed preach Christ from envy and rivalry, but others from goodwill. The latter do it out of love... The former proclaim Christ out of selfish ambition, not sincerely... What then? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is proclaimed, and in that I rejoice.”

Here, Paul acknowledges that some preach Christ with wrong motives—envy, rivalry, selfish ambition. Yet he still rejoices because Christ is being proclaimed. However, Paul does not explicitly say that such preaching leads to salvation. His joy is in the name of Christ being made known, not in the results of those corrupted messages.

This passage shows that God, in His sovereignty, allows those with insincere hearts to preach—for a time. But He is the one who ultimately decides when that time is up. Much like the Pharisees, it is possible for false Christians to preach the Word of God, yet remain lost themselves, their hearts are not aligned with God.

The Pharisees can preach, pray, fast, worship, dance, mimicking the life of faithful believers like Karen—all in pretense. They do so to be seen by others and to receive praise from people. But their efforts have no spiritual impact. Their imitation, no matter how public or passionate, bears no fruit.

This truth underscores a vital point: Only God can add souls to His Church. The effectiveness of any sermon comes not from the outward righteousness or reputation of the preacher, but from the faithful preaching of God’s truth and the work of the Holy Spirit. Only when the Word of God falls on good soil, prepared by the Spirit, does it produce lasting fruit.

THE LORD IS MY BANNER

…Abraham, I am your shield… (Genesis 15:1). When the enemy comes like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard against him (Isaiah 59:19).

The Lord is a man of war; the Lord is His name (Exodus 15:3). For the Lord your God is He who goes with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you (Deuteronomy 20:4).

No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue which rises against you in judgment you shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is from Me,” says the Lord (Isaiah 54:17).

The wicked fall into their own nets (Psalms 141:10). For man also does not know his time: Like fish taken in a cruel net, like birds caught in a snare, so the sons of men are snared in an evil time, when it falls suddenly upon them (Ecclesiastes 9:12).

The fear of the wicked will come upon him, and the desire of the righteous will be granted (Proverbs 10:24).

 

But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not be weary (Isaiah 40:31).

 

The persecution, harassment, and abuse directed at Karen Rajabian continue unabated under the Trump administration, reflecting an ongoing pattern of authoritarian rule. This administration has systematically targeted her through invasive surveillance tactics, including the use of advanced technologies such as spy satellites, and has allegedly coordinated efforts with both mainstream and independent media outlets.

Karen’s personal and business communications—ranging from phone calls to emails and internet activity—are regularly intercepted. Her website has been the target of persistent cyberattacks, including hacking, hijacking, and the obstruction of updates, severely hampering the maintenance of this blog and the continuation of this important series.

Despite these relentless efforts by a deceptive administration—one that claims Christian values while persecuting the true Church of Jesus Christ and defying God's will—Commander-in-Chief-elect Rajabian remains steadfast. She is determined to prevail in the fight for the presidency and reclaim what is, in symbolic terms, the modern-day land of Canaan (Genesis 14:1–24).

For the past 18 years, the U.S. government has persistently targeted Preacher Rajabian. In light of what the Lord has revealed regarding His judgment on both political parties and His Church, one must ask: what is truly driving this sustained campaign against her? Through successive administrations, including the Trump era, Karen’s personal life and home have been exploited to serve political agendas—yet she endures, guided by divine purpose and unwavering faith.

Spanish speaking sermon translated into English

Today, the Church of God Ministry of Jesus Christ International chose not to deliver the final sermon in its series on James chapter 5—a passage that strongly rebukes the wealthy and complacent, warning that their hoarded riches and injustices will testify against them when God brings judgment. Instead, the church streamed a previously recorded Sunday service on YouTube. This sermon, based on 1 Peter 1:1–25, was originally delivered by Maria Luisa Piraquive at the church’s headquarters on October 30, 2022. It is part of an ongoing series revisiting earlier teachings from the Book of 1 Peter, covering chapters 1 through 5.

The church has shown inconsistency in its approach to live-streaming sermons, with two recurring patterns emerging. First, when Maria Luisa Piraquive does preach live, her messages are often accompanied by justifications and distractions that divert attention from the spiritual focus and the work of God. Second, there seems to be a persistent hesitation to preach altogether—suggesting a deliberate avoidance that appears intended to hinder the recognition of the ministry God is raising within the church.

Through these ongoing choices, Maria Luisa Piraquive has demonstrated a troubling disregard for the Word of God, the message He intends to deliver, and the divine purpose He is fulfilling through His church.

Despite these obstacles, Karen remains unwavering in her faith, continuing to place her full trust in the Lord.

It is important to remember that the true measure of a believer is not only in what they say or preach about Christ, but in how they respond to those who carry God's message. Authentic believers will demonstrate love, compassion, and unwavering support for those laboring in God's service. They will stand united with God's messengers, even during times of divine silence.

Had Rajabian been in Piraquive's position, she would have embraced the unity of the church with humility, tested the prophecy, welcomed Jesus and His servant, honored the ministry entrusted to her, and invited Piraquive to join the congregation, trusting in the Lord's timing for the fulfillment of glory in her life. As the scriptures remind us, "We all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another" (2 Corinthians 3:18).

Instead, Piraquive’s actions demonstrate that she is living a life of luxury and wealth, seemingly at odds with the very message she did not streamed. In light of 1 Peter 1:1-25, which calls for repentance and a sincere transformation of heart, her lifestyle appears to disregard God’s urgent call. Despite her sermons on humility, faith, and personal change, her choices contradict these principles, revealing a disconnect between her words and deeds. By failing to embody the spiritual path she advocates, Piraquive not only undermines her own message but also misses the opportunity to foster true unity and spiritual growth among her followers. This inconsistency suggests a lack of genuine spiritual maturity and a reluctance to fully embrace the transformative power of God’s word in her own life.

In spite of her credentials  as a preacher, Maria Luisa Piraquive remains detached from genuine faith. The essence of faith is not simply preaching, but being like Jesus through compassion, humility,  love   for  God ,  trust  in Him, loving others, and openness to His will especially when it comes to empowering others in the body of Christ. 

The seeds of God’s word she received from preacher Rajabian have fallen on the thorny ground of her heart, which is hardened and chokes out the word, rendering it ineffective. Despite God’s protection of His church and its assets from adversity, Piraquive seems preoccupied with worldly concerns, guarding the material wealth of the church rather than focusing on heavenly matters, particularly the imminent revelation of God to the world. This revelation will be glorious, bringing healing, restoring the deaf to hearing, the blind to sight, the mute to speech, and the lame to walk.  

Instead of advancing the work of the Lord, Maria Luisa Piraquive stands as an obstacle, hindering His way. Her lack of spiritual action and failure to work in the unity of the church with preacher Rajabian contradicts her own message that “we are saved by grace through faith” (Ephesians 2:8), and "without faith it is impossible to please God" (Hebrews 11:6). Money is what causes people to err from faith. Paul told Timothy that the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil, and that desiring wealth leads to temptation, to a snare, and to other lusts, which in turn lead to destruction (1 Timothy 6:10).  

Today, we remember the words of Jesus, saying that “we will know them by their fruits” (Matthew 7:16).

The fruits of the Spirit are these: But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another (Galatians 5:22-26).

In contrast, preacher Rajabian remains steadfast in her mission, "Preparing the Way of the Lord," and as part of her calling, Karen is exposing the evil within the church—uncovering lies, hidden truths, and sinful actions that block the way of the Lord before His revelation to Israel and the world.

 

As we await God's justice against His enemies and the fulfillment of His judgment upon America—a message that resonates with both the Church and the U.S. government—we continue to witness the relentless persecution of Karen Rajabian. This persecution is being carried out by both institutions, operating under the authoritarian leadership of the Trump administration.

On June 8, 2025, Times Square Church aired its Sunday service live from Broadway, New York, streaming it on their YouTube channel as part of their regular programming. During the broadcast, Tim Dilena, a pastor, delivered a sermon titled "Fight Fight Miracle," which was part of the "One Billion Starts With One" series. The sermon was meant to address the intended topic, but instead centered on the events of Judges chapter 20—the civil war between the eleven tribes of Israel and the tribe of Benjamin. However, despite this shift in focus, Dilena's wandering delivery failed to persuade me or alter my perspective on the issue.

If you’ve been following these sermons, you may agree that the Pharisees, as Jesus described, are pretentious teachers of the Word, lacking true knowledge and understanding of the Scriptures. Despite this, they plan to gather churches at a New Jersey arena this fall, intending to preach and teach what they themselves do not comprehend.

 

The Pharisees are always eager to exalt themselves, seeking the approval and praise of men. Every Sunday, they elevate themselves, welcoming people from over 70 nations and 50 states within the U.S. who they say are connected to the church’s YouTube channel to watch their live sermons live. The real-time viewership can be seen on the channel which is not even 4,000 people, but one must wonder how many are genuinely engaged in the message.

When I stand at Times Square Church to preach and perfom healing miracles, we will not only see millions of people connected to the church YouTube Channel but coming to the church from all over the world, which is fantastic!

THE LORD IS MY BANNER

…Abraham, I am your shield… (Genesis 15:1). When the enemy comes like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard against him (Isaiah 59:19).

The Lord is a man of war; the Lord is His name (Exodus 15:3). For the Lord your God is He who goes with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you (Deuteronomy 20:4).

No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue which rises against you in judgment you shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is from Me,” says the Lord (Isaiah 54:17).

The ongoing persecution, harassment, and abuse directed toward me have continued unabated under the Trump administration, revealing a disturbing and persistent pattern of authoritarian governance. This regime has systematically targeted me through invasive surveillance, employing cutting-edge technologies like spy satellites. Allegedly, it has also collaborated with both mainstream and independent media outlets to further my persecution, intensifying the assault on my personal and professional life.

My communications—whether by phone, email, or online activity—are routinely intercepted. Additionally, my website has been subjected to a constant barrage of cyberattacks, ranging from hacking and hijacking to interference with updates, all of which have significantly hindered my ability to maintain my blog and continue my critical work.

Recently, in an attempt to safeguard my privacy, I removed all of my computer network files, hoping to prevent further breaches. Despite these efforts, the tactics employed by the Trump administration have only intensified. Spyware has been planted on my devices, preventing updates to my Windows operating system and interfering with the applications in my download folders. Similarly, even after signing out of all my Apple devices, federal hackers continue to infiltrate my accounts, adding spyware to ensure ongoing access to my iPhone and maintaining their invasive reach.

Moreover, the administration has repeatedly co-opted my personal preferences and claimed them as their own. For example, I privately shared my fondness for eating shish kebab, only for Trump to later appear in public doing the exact same thing. This is just one of many instances where my identity has been manipulated and distorted as part of a broader campaign to target and undermine me, further erasing my individuality in favor of their political narrative.

Despite these relentless efforts to violate my privacy, sabotage my work, and distort my identity, I remain resolute in my convictions. I continue to endure the weight of an administration that, while professing Christian values, aggressively persecutes the true Church of Jesus Christ and acts in defiance of divine will.

As the Commander-in-Chief-elect of the Lord, I remain vigilant, observing how the unfolding world events align with biblical prophecy, especially those surrounding the end times. The parallels are striking—just as ancient confederations of nations rose to war against one another, Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, Zeboiim, Zoar (the neighbors of Sodom and Gomorrah), situated in the southern region of the land of Canaan (Israel), arose and rebelled against other 4 greedy rulers of nations: Amraphael king of Shinar (a Babylonian city), Arioch king of  Ellasar (an Assyrian or Iraqi city), Chedorlaomer king of Elam (lran), and Tidal or Goyim (king of nations) the United Nations to shape a new world order. Similarly for many years, we have been witnessing modern attempts by various nations to impose a new world order.

While deceitful Trump presents himself as a peacemaker, his stance against Iran in representation of the United States of America (modern-Canaanite land), tells a different story. Drawing from Genesis 14:1–24, the Scripture suggests that military action against Iran was coordinated with Israel, indicating a premeditated approach rather than one rooted in peace.

This mirrors the conflicts described in the Bible, in addition to Abraham's battle against the plans of the wicked rulers of his time (Genesis 14:1–24), and my own wait to inherit the land promised by the Lord—which without a doubt could be considered the modern-day land of Canaan.

For the past 18 years, the U.S. governent has consistently targeted me. In light of the divine revelations regarding judgment on both political parties and the Church, one cannot help but wonder: what fuels this sustained campaign against me? Through multiple administrations, including Trump's, my personal life and private spaces have been exploited for political gain, with efforts to mirror, manipulate, and control my actions—echoing the behavior of the Pharisees in biblical times. Yet, through it all, I stand firm, guided by divine purpose and an unwavering faith that no earthly power can shake.

Spanish speaking sermon translated into English 

Today, the Church of God Ministry of Jesus Christ International broadcast their main service live from their headquarters in Weston, Florida, streaming the event on their official YouTube channel. Apostle Maria Luisa Piraquive delivered a sermon based on Matthew 23:1-39, a passage in which Jesus rebukes the hypocrisy, pride, false leadership, and judgment of the religious Pharisees, as well as their rejection of God's Word.

At the beginning of her sermon, Piraquive emphasized the need for believers to adopt attitudes and behaviors that are the complete opposite of those displayed by the Pharisees. She underscored the importance of having a heart prepared for the Lord—one that truly loves Him, obeys His commandments, and is fully committed to His salvation. However, it’s becoming increasingly clear that Piraquive’s call to live by these principles has fallen short in her own example. For the past 18 years, she has hindered the delivery of God's Word to her congregation, revealing a concerning disregard for both the message of the Lord and the sacred work He aims to accomplish within His church.

It's important to remember that the true measure of a believer is not found solely in their words or sermons they preach about Christ, but in their actions and how they respond to those who carry God's message. Authentic believers show love, compassion, and steadfast support for those serving in God’s name. They stand with His messengers, even in times of divine silence, trusting that Jesus Christ remains the same yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrews 13:8).

Had I been in Piraquive's position, I would have approached the church’s unity with humility, tested the prophecy, embraced both Jesus and His servant, honored the ministry given to her, and invited Piraquive to join the congregation. I would trust that the Lord’s timing would bring about His glory in her life. As Scripture says, "We all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another" (2 Corinthians 3:18).

However, Piraquive's actions reveal a life of luxury and wealth that she doesn't want to risk, with an ear only for the messages that satisfy her desires. Her lifestyle appears to disregard the urgent call of God. Though she preaches on humility, faith, and personal transformation, her choices often contradict these teachings, exposing a disconnect between what she says and how she lives. By not embodying the spiritual path she preaches, Piraquive undermines her own message and misses the opportunity to foster true unity and growth among her followers. This inconsistency points to a lack of genuine spiritual maturity and a reluctance to fully embrace the transformative power of God’s word in her own life.

Despite her credentials as a preacher, Maria Luisa Piraquive remains disconnected from the true essence of faith. Faith is not merely about preaching—it's about embodying the spirit of Christ through compassion, humility, love for God, trust in His plans, loving others, and aligning oneself with His will, especially when it comes to empowering others within the body of Christ.

The seeds of God’s Word that I’ve shared with her have fallen on the thorny soil of her heart—hardened and filled with distractions that choke the Word, rendering it ineffective. While God’s protection has shielded His church and its assets from adversity, Piraquive seems consumed with worldly matters. She focuses more on safeguarding the material wealth of the church than on matters of eternal significance, especially the coming revelation of God to the world. This revelation will be glorious—bringing healing, restoring sight to the blind, hearing to the deaf, speech to the mute, and strength to the lame among other things.

Rather than advancing God's work, Maria Luisa Piraquive stands as an obstacle, hindering His progress. Her lack of spiritual action and failure to work in unity with fellow preacher Rajabian contradicts her own message that “we are saved by grace through faith” (Ephesians 2:8) and that “without faith, it is impossible to please God” (Hebrews 11:6). Money, as Paul warns in 1 Timothy 6:10, leads people away from faith, as “the love of money is the root of all evil,” causing temptation, snares, and desires that ultimately lead to destruction.

Today, we reflect on Jesus' words: “You will know them by their fruits” (Matthew 7:16). The fruits of the Spirit, as described in Galatians 5:22-26, are love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.

In contrast, I remain steadfast in the mission, "Preparing the Way of the Lord." As part of this calling, I continue exposing the evil within the church—revealing lies, hidden truths, and sinful actions that block the Lord’s path before His imminent revelation to Israel and the world.

As we await God's justice against His enemies and the fulfillment of His judgment upon America—a message directed to both the Church and the U.S. government—we continue to witness the relentless persecution of Karen Rajabian. This persecution is being carried out by both institutions under the authoritarian leadership of the Trump administration.

On June 15, 2025, Times Square Church aired its Sunday service live from Broadway, New York. The sermon, part of their regular programming, was streamed on their YouTube channel. During the broadcast, I once again faced threats from modern-day Pharisees—religious figures who, like their biblical predecessors, twisted God’s truth to deliver an evil message.

Their sermon, titled "Something Extraordinary is Coming But It’s on the Other Side of the Fire," was part of the "One Billion Starts With One" series. The message was intended to address the theme of the series, but instead, with fiery rhetoric, Dilena preached a warning that the people of God should prepare for chaotic times. He warned me specifically to prepare for the attacks they plan against me, saying not to come to Times Square Church without the protection of God to help me endure the battle, storms, and fire.

Dilena had preached this sermon before—just under a different title. His message, laced with imagery of battles, assaults, storms, fire, and destruction, grew more agitated as he spoke. Yet it carried no evangelistic message. Instead, it felt like a thinly veiled attack, each word directed squarely at me. His anger was unmistakably a reaction to the critique I offered the week before, particularly my pointed remarks about his spiritual blindness and failure to rightly handle the Word of Truth.

Recently, the Lord spoke to me about this blog. He said He loves it—because it consistently points to Him and honors His written Word. That assurance is all I need. I know He is pleased with the work we’re doing here, and frankly, their threats to harm me don’t move me in the slightest.

THE LORD IS MY BANNER

…Abraham, I am your shield… (Genesis 15:1). When the enemy comes like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard against him (Isaiah 59:19).

The Lord is a man of war; the Lord is His name (Exodus 15:3). For the Lord your God is He who goes with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you (Deuteronomy 20:4).

No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue which rises against you in judgment you shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is from Me,” says the Lord (Isaiah 54:17).

But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not be weary (Isaiah 40:31).

 

 

For nearly two decades, I have endured an ongoing campaign of persecution, harassment, and abuse that has spanned multiple U.S. administrations, starting with the Obama administration and continuing under his successors. This relentless assault has been fueled by both mainstream and independent media, with significant backing from those in power. The scope of this persecution is extensive, involving surveillance, including the use of spy satellites, and constant interference in both my personal and professional life.

My communications are regularly intercepted, and my website has been subjected to repeated hacking and sabotage, severely hindering my ability to carry out essential work. Despite efforts to protect our privacy—such as deleting network files and signing out of devices—spyware continues to be planted on our devices, and federal hackers maintain unauthorized access to our accounts.

The persecution, both deliberate and unyielding, seems to target not only my work but also my faith. This campaign, ironically, comes from the Trum administration that publicly claims to uphold Christian values, yet has persistently attacked the true Church of Jesus Christ. After 18 years of suffering under various U.S. administrations, I am left watching the motivations behind these ongoing attacks.

Despite all of this, I remain unwavering in my convictions. I am guided by a divine purpose that transcends earthly powers, and I will not be deterred.

As Commander-in-Chief-elect of the Lord, my eyes remain fixed on the world’s shifting dynamics, ever alert to how these developments echo the ancient events foretold in Scripture. The signs of the times are undeniably aligned with biblical prophecy, and one of the most profound parallels can be found in the account of Genesis 14. In that chapter, we witness a confederation of kings from the ancient Near East who rose in arms against one another, reflecting the ebb and flow of power in the world. A coalition of city-states — Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, Zeboiim, and Zoar — rose against four powerful and greedy kings who sought to assert their dominance, spreading corruption and war.

The four kings — Amraphel, king of Shinar (Babylon), Arioch, king of Ellasar (Assyria/Iraq), Chedorlaomer, king of Elam (Persia/Iran), and Tidal, the king of Goyim (a confederation of nations, akin to a modern-day United Nations) — sought not just rebelled against Iran but to conquer nations and reshape the political landscape, imposing a new world order under their control. They were, in essence, the geopolitical titans of their time, each vying for greater power, and their military actions resembled those of modern global powers today.

Fast forward to the present, and the parallels are striking. We are witnessing the rise of similar ambitions among nations and coalitions, particularly as the World Economic Forum (WEF) and Western powers attempt to impose their vision of a New World Order. In this modern era, we can look to events like the United States' posture against Iran, which continues to be a focal point of tension and conflict.

While figures like Donald Trump present themselves as peacemakers, their actions often tell a different story. In their efforts to destabilize Iran, Trump's administration acted with strategic intent, working in coordination with Israel to further their objectives. This was not a genuine pursuit of peace, but a calculated step toward regime change — a direct parallel to the ancient world, where nations fought not only for land, resources and power but also to alter the regimes of their neighbors.

In Genesis 14, Abraham was drawn into the conflict after hearing of the capture of his nephew Lot by these warring kings. Abraham, a man of faith, rose up in defiance of the greed and corruption of the rulers of his time. He gathered a coalition of allies and fought against the kings in a remarkable military campaign, demonstrating that even in the midst of political upheaval, God's people are called to stand firm against the forces of evil.

I, too, stand in this sacred lineage. As I await the inheritance of the land promised by the Lord, the parallels between the biblical and modern-day struggles are unmistakable clear. Just as Abraham fought for justice and against the wicked schemes of kings, so too must we remain vigilant in the face of contemporary systems of power.

The land promised to Abraham—once a geographical territory in specific territory in the ancient Near East—has come to represent far more than geographic borders. It is a symbol of the eternal covenant between God and His people, a covenant that continues to unfold through history.

Canaan, the land that is now Israel, remains central to the prophetic narrative. In light of recent events, including the destruction of Gaza, the boundaries of lsrael have expanded. It now encompasses not only physical territory but also the spiritual and eschatological dimensions foretold in the Scripture. These events remind us that prophecy is not confined to the past; it reverberates into our present and future.
