Why Does Israel Exist? :: By Daymond Duck

On June 7, 2026, Harbinger’s Daily posted an incredible article that I want to pass on to those who didn’t see it.

It was written by Daniel Cohen (an award-winning anchor, the Israel Correspondent and News Director of the Real Life Network, and a Contributor to Harbinger’s Daily).

I usually post just part of an article, but I am posting all of this because it is outstanding from beginning to end.

Here is the link:

https://harbingersdaily.com/no-israel-without-trump-mr-president-god-isnt-looking-for-a-partner-to-share-his-glory/

Pres. Trump recently said, “Tell you what, if there wasn’t me, there would be no Israel right now.”

Cohen replied:

  • I am a Jewish follower of Yeshua (Jesus).
  • I live in Israel.
  • When President Trump takes credit for the survival of the nation that God calls the “apple of his eye,” it’s very much within our mandate to respond.
  • Very respectfully, I want to say to the President of the United States: Mr. Trump, you’re wrong.
  • I understand the instinct.
  • He moved the United States embassy to Jerusalem when every expert swore that it would set the Middle East on fire.
  • It didn’t.
  • He tore up a terrible Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) nuclear deal with Iran.
  • He recognized the Golan Heights.
  • He brokered the Abraham Accords.
  • He brought the final Israeli hostages out of the Hamas dungeons in Gaza.
  • Trump has been the best friend that Israel has ever had in the White House—and I say that with no asterisk.
  • But Israel doesn’t exist because of any man.
  • Not President Trump.
  • Not Prime Minister Netanyahu.
  • Not Ben-Gurion.
  • Not even King David.
  • Israel exists because God says it will.
  • Empires that were supposed to last a thousand years are dust.
  • Pharaoh is dust.
  • Babylon is dust.
  • Rome is a tourist attraction—a beautiful one.
  • When other civilizations have tried to conquer this tiny nation, they have been the ones erased.
  • Israel is still here.
  • It stands with the same language, same prayers, and same resilient people.
  • That is a promise being kept.
  • In Genesis, God made an everlasting covenant with the seed of Abraham.
  • How long is everlasting?
  • It’s forever!
  • In Exodus, God calls Israel His firstborn.
  • God isn’t looking for a partner to share His glory.
  • He is looking for servants who understand whose hand—His hand—is really holding up the nation of Israel.
  • President Trump: be the friend and be the fighter.
  • Keep doing what no president before you had the courage, the chutzpah, to do.
  • But when the cameras are on and you have the temptation to say, “It’s all about me,” give the credit back to the One it really belongs to.
  • I say all of that from the Jewish state, from Israel, the land that has outlived every man who has ever tried to claim it.

I have said it before, but here are a few things worth repeating:

  • Rabbi Pesch Wolicki said, “The most repeated prophecy in the Bible is that the nation of Israel, scattered to the ends of the earth, will one day return to its land after a lengthy exile.
  • Here are a few scriptures that say that: Ezek. 36:24-29; 37:21-22; Isa. 11:11-12, 54:7-8, 66:7-10; Amos 9:14-15; Gen.17:7-8, 18-21; 28:18; Jer. 16:15.
  • In the Bible, God is called the Holy One of Israel 31 times, the God of Israel 203 times, and the Lord God of Israel 108 times (a total of 342 times).

(My Opinion: I believe God has used Pres. Trump to re-establish the nation of Israel, but it was God’s doing – not Pres. Trump’s doing – and God has done it to fulfill His Word.)

(More: On June 16, 2026, America’s ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, said, “Without Israel, without the Jewish foundation, there would not be an America. We owe our very existence to what happened in this land.”)

Here are some recent events that seem to indicate that the end of the age is near:

One, on June 14, 2028, my good friend garyfisher@bellsouth.net (Lion of Judah Ministry) sent out an email titled “Thoughts On the Iran War.”

Here are the thoughts of this excellent Bible Prophecy teacher:

  • This current war was actually started by the appeasement policies toward Iran of Barack Obama and Joe Biden.
  • Barack Obama sent the Iranians money, and Biden removed sanctions that were taking a huge toll on Iran.
  • As those appeasement policies progressed, Iran became bolder and bolder.
  • The money from removed sanctions and cash that Obama sent was being used to finance Iran’s proxies, including Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon, and aid in Iran’s nuclear development.
  • The Western world knew that trouble was brewing.
  • The Western world doesn’t seem to be able to acknowledge a fundamental Islamic eschatology.
  • Muslims (Iran in particular) believe that their final saviour, called the Mahdi, will emerge in global conflict to establish Shariah law and subjugate the entire world.
  • It is therefore in their interest to provoke war.
  • This is why no “deal” will have lasting success.
  • In spite of any peace talks, Iran continues to attack Israel through Hezbollah, which is a proxy army for Iran and resident in Lebanon.
  • They continue to take orders and funding from Iran.
  • As Hezbollah attacks on Israel continue, Israel has no choice but to defend themselves.
  • As they do, they are accused of risking chances of Middle East peace.
  • As the old saying goes, “When Israel is attacked, it’s a war. When Israel retaliates, it’s a crime.”
  • This is an unfair assessment and is testing the patience of the Lord!
  • The Lord’s patience with the world on how they treat Israel will soon run out.
  • Zechariah 14 states that the Lord will gather all nations against Israel.
  • On that day, He will defeat them all, and He will be established as King over the whole earth.
  • That day is drawing near.

Two, the Bible says when they say “peace and safety” (peace and security), then sudden destruction (the Tribulation Period) will come upon them (I Thess. 5:3).

Following the announcement that the U.S. and Iran had reached what they described as a peace agreement aimed at ending months of conflict and reopening the strategically important Strait of Hormuz:

On June 14, 2026, Pres. Trump said:

  • This Great Deal will bring Peace and Security to the whole Region.
  • Many presidents have tried to make Peace with Iran, and all have failed before me.
  • The Leaders of the Region have, for the first time, found a President who can help them achieve real Peace.

(My comment: Notice that Pres. Trump didn’t say his agreement has brought peace and security. He said it will bring peace and security. My friend Gary Fisher rightly said, “The day is drawing near.”)

(Note: The agreement is to extend the ceasefire for 60 days, and it is dependent upon an end to the conflict in Lebanon, where Israel has been fighting the Iranian-backed Hezbollah.)

(FYI: According to statements from both sides, a signing ceremony is scheduled for June 19, 2026, in Switzerland, where officials are expected to formalize the agreement. VP JD Vance is planning to attend, and Pres. Trump may participate. The Strait of Hormuz will be open toll-free after the agreement is signed.)

(My opinion: This could be the fake peace that will need to be confirmed – strengthened – by the Antichrist at a later date.)

(My opinion: Pres. Trump didn’t save Israel. He saved Iran to fight Israel again in a war called the Battle of Gog of Magog. God predicted this war in Ezek. 38.)

Three, on June 15, 2026, Tanya Koenig wrote the following:

  • Two foundational truths clarify the moment. Iran, ancient Persia, will remain an enemy of Israel and will join a coalition determined to destroy her.
  • America will not stand with Israel militarily when that coalition comes against her.
  • Ezekiel names Persia in that coalition; this is not an invention of modern prophecy teachers.
  • The same passage does not show a great Western military power delivering Israel.
  • The nations of trade and commerce question the attack, but they do not save her.
  • God Himself intervenes because the final testimony is not American power, European diplomacy, or global management, but the Lord making Himself known before the nations.
  • God declared the end from the beginning: ‘Remember the former things of old, For I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like Me, Declaring the end from the beginning, And from ancient times things that are not yet done, Saying, My counsel shall stand, And I will do all My pleasure’” (Isaiah 46:9-10, NKJV).

Tanya Koenig added:

  • What is forming is not simply a regional settlement.
  • It is a wider pattern in which peace is negotiated without righteousness, security is pursued without truth, money moves without repentance, and Israel is treated as the obstacle to global stability.
  • This MOU may not be the final agreement, but it reveals the diplomatic architecture taking shape around Israel.
  • It is not a deal.
  • It is an MOU.
  • It may not be the final agreement, but it shows the structure of the age taking shape, and it warns every nation again: do not go against the God of Israel.

UPDATE: On June 17, 2026, Koenig said:

  • The MOU text circulating through Arab and Israeli channels is deeply troubling.
  • It is not a real deal.
  • It is an intention on paper, and the intention favors Iran.
  • It reportedly ends the war on all fronts, including Lebanon, while placing Israel under pressure to restrain itself.
  • It lifts the naval blockade, restores maritime traffic, allows Iran to resume oil and fuel sales through U.S. Treasury waivers, and points toward a massive economic rehabilitation plan for Iran, while the most dangerous issues are left for later.
  • That combination tells the story: relief now, the most dangerous questions later.

Four, on June 16, 206, a long-time reader (pastor) sent me his opinion from India.

  • We all know what Trump did: namely, deserting Israel people are talking of reasons unknown to us.
  • Some say it is fulfillment of prophecy in the last days.
  • The U.S.-Iran agreement to extend the ceasefire and reopen the Strait of Hormuz is not victory. Not if winning is still the main metric of victory.
  • That is a wounded serpent being allowed to crawl back into the rocks to reload, rebuild, rearm and reactivate.
  • That is why this proposed deal is so dangerous.
  • A ceasefire with a defeated enemy is one thing.
  • A ceasefire with an undefeated terror regime is something else entirely.
  • It is not peace; it is a pause button, just as Obama’s 2015 Nuclear Deal with Iran only allowed them to get closer to a nuclear weapon.
  • Trump’s Iran peace deal is not resolution; it is reload time.
  • It is not the end of the war; it is the intermission before the next act.
  • There’s a reason why Iran is mentioned in the Bible and the United States is not.
  • Trump is preparing to send billions of dollars to Iran if this ‘peace deal’ goes through, and that is bad, bad news on any level, and on every level.
  • Today we bring you everything you need to know about what will possibly be the worst deal America has ever struck with a foreign adversary.

Five, concerning wickedness, violence, human trafficking, and drug use at the end of the age: on June 12, 2026, Pres. Trump announced that U.S. forces killed Héctor Guerrero Flores, known as Niño Guerrero, the leader of Venezuela’s Tren de Aragua gang, in what he described as a “swift and lethal kinetic strike” carried out by U.S. Southern Command.

Trump said the operation targeted one of the world’s most violent criminal organizations and marked a major blow against a transnational gang that U.S. officials have accused of spreading drug trafficking, human trafficking, extortion, and violence across the Western Hemisphere.

Six, on June 11, 2026, Israel’s cabinet voted on a funding plan that would advance the establishment of 61 new communities across Judea and Samaria.

The proposal would allocate more than $350 million over several years to move the newly authorized settlements from the planning stage into physical reality — roads, utilities, homes, public buildings, and community infrastructure included.

Seven, concerning the ashes of a red heifer (needed to rebuild the Temple): on June 26, 2026, it was reported that:

  • In the shadow of ongoing war in the north, something rare emerged from a dairy farm tucked into the hills of the Galilee: a calf that was, against every genetic expectation, entirely red.
  • No black hairs.
  • No white hairs.
  • Just the burnished copper coat that has made the parah adumah, the red heifer, one of the most sought-after animals in the history of the Jewish people.
  • A farm worker, unaware of the calf’s potential, placed an identification tag in her ear, a routine act on any commercial farm.
  • The ear tag disqualified the red heifer.
  • The red heifer’s ear is healing, and officials are praying for it to be totally healed.

Mon. Day 108 (June 15, 2026) (Day 55 of Trump’s latest ceasefire extension) (8 days from the day Pres. Trump said he will declare total victory over Iran.)

  • Several of Israel’s leaders blasted Pres. Trump’s MOU. Israel’s Defense Min. vowed that Israel would not withdraw from southern Lebanon, warning that the Israel Defense Forces would remain in security zones in Lebanon, Syria, and Gaza “without any time limit” to protect Israeli border communities.

  • To Hamas and the rest of Iran’s “Axis of Resistance,” the prospect of a “deal” between Washington and Tehran is not being interpreted as a sign of American strength. It is being viewed as a sign of America’s weakness and a victory for the Iranian regime — which the US defeated — and proof that the US is eager to end conflicts at virtually any price.
  • Hassan Khomeini, grandson of the founder of the Islamic regime, Ruhollah Mostafavi Musavi Khomeini, hailed the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) as a major “victory” for Tehran, promising that the “greater jihad” would now begin.
  • Pres. Trump said Iran has to have some missiles because other people have some. “You gotta have some.”

Finally, are you Rapture Ready?

If you want to be rapture ready and go to heaven, you must be born again (John 3:3). God loves you, and if you have not done so, sincerely admit that you are a sinner; believe that Jesus is the virgin-born, sinless Son of God, who died for the sins of the world, was buried, and raised from the dead; ask Him to forgive your sins, cleanse you, come into your heart and be your Saviour; then tell someone that you have done this.

 

Where Are the Godly Men? :: By Nathele Graham

It’s a fact that God created everything. He created the sun, moon, and stars; He created every animal kind, and His ultimate creation was humans. “So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them” (Genesis 1:27). This fact has been attacked by Satan for many centuries. Creation isn’t a random string of accidents but a deliberate plan by God. Every part of creation shows God’s design and love for what He created.

When all things were in place to support human life, God created man. The Hebrew word for “man” is “Adam”; hence, Adam was the first human. God gave Adam responsibility. Even in Paradise, there are rules. He was to tend to the Garden and name the animals, but he wasn’t to eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Some time later, when Adam needed someone to help him, God took Eve from him. The Hebrew word translated Eve is “haua” pronounced “khav-vaw.” Adam fell in love when he saw Eve for the first time. He made a proclamation that should be heeded today.

And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh” (Genesis 2:23-24).

Many modern translations say “joined to his wife” instead of “cleave unto his wife.” This doesn’t mean that you can’t have multiple generations in the same home, but a man needs to lead his own family. Man and woman are both very important in God’s eyes, and each has a distinct place in life. Even though there were only two people in all of creation, Adam knew that there would be more, and knew that their children would multiply. He made the prophetic statement that a man should leave his parents’ authority and take a wife and “cleave” (or cling or join) to her. The one man/one woman idea began in the Garden of Eden and is God’s way even today. He never changes.

What happened? What has caused the trouble we see in marriage today? The simple answer is sin. Adam loved his wife so much that he didn’t seem to want to upset her. When she listened to the voice of deception and ate the forbidden fruit, Adam submitted to his wife’s foolishness. Why didn’t he stop her? Instead of being a man who stood firmly on God’s commands, he submitted to Eve’s foolishness.

God had told Adam, very clearly in a way that couldn’t possibly be misunderstood. “But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die” (Genesis 2:17).

God didn’t say “if” you eat it, but knew Adam would be weak. God said “in the day that thou eatest thereof.” Eve listened to the lying serpent instead of God, who had created her. Adam chose to follow her in sin. Too many women today follow that same pattern. Instead of striving to honor God and submit to their husband, they want to be the authority over men. The Apostle Paul made it clear that women are to submit to their husbands and learn from them.

Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence” (1 Timothy 2:11-12). 

Was Paul a chauvinist? No, he was a scholar who understood that men and women have equally important roles in God’s creation, but each role is separate. He studied the Old Testament and knew what the Genesis account meant. I realize that I’m a woman who writes commentaries on Scriptural issues. I only study the men whose ministries my husband studied. In that way, I believe I submit to my husband’s authority. The role of men and women is clearly seen in all of Scripture. In the Book of Judges, Deborah was a prophetess and knew that Barak was to lead Israel against Sisera, the captain of Jabin’s army. Barak knew he had to fight, but would only go if Deborah went with him.

And Barak said unto her, If thou wilt go with me, then I will go: but if thou wilt not go with me then I will not go” (Judges 4:8).

I have always wondered about Barak. God used him, but he seems a bit of a wimp. The point is, Deborah was willing to do whatever she could for the Lord. She pointed out to Barak that it wasn’t for his honor she was going, but to honor God. Yes, if a man won’t step up to battle for the Lord, then God will use a woman to accomplish his purpose.

Where are the Godly men today? The men who are men of integrity? Too many boys are being raised by single mothers who can’t show a boy how to be a man. If you’re one of those boys, or if the man in your household isn’t Godly, remember that you have a Father in Heaven who has given Scripture as a guide.

Look in Genesis to see how Abraham was called out of a pagan life and willingly allowed God to show him a better way. Abraham learned to trust God. Still, he made mistakes. Like Adam, Abraham allowed his wife to make decisions contrary to God’s way. God had promised that Abraham and Sarah would have a child, but Abraham and Sarah were quite old, and Sarah was well past child-bearing age. So, Sarah decided to “help” God and talked Abraham into having a child with her maid, Hagar.

And Sarai Abram’s wife took Hagar her maid the Egyptian, after Abram had dwelt ten years in the land of Canaan and gave her to her husband Abram to be his wife” (Genesis 16:3).

What could go wrong? When you don’t trust God, everything can and will go wrong. Hagar did have a son, who was named Ishmael, and there was much trouble because Abraham and Sarah didn’t trust God to accomplish His promise.

In time, Sarah did become pregnant, and Isaac was the son God had promised Abraham and Sarah. Sarah had come up with a plan, and Abraham just went along. It wasn’t God’s plan. Abraham should have firmly stood on God’s promise. Adam listened to Eve, and the whole world was corrupted. Abraham listened to Sarah, and the Ishmaelites have been trouble for the world ever since. The world has always needed men who stood firmly upon God’s promises, even if their wives have a “better” idea.

There are many examples of men who fear the Lord but fail in their walk with Him. Today it’s very difficult to find true men of God. How can you qualify to be a Godly man? First, love God. A scribe once challenged Jesus as to which is the first commandment.

And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord: And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength this is the first commandment” (Mark 12:29-30).

If a man can love God in that way, the rest of his life will fall into place. Let me ask you a question: do you watch sports? If so, you probably know the stats of your favorite players. Do you follow your favorite team daily? What about vehicles? Now let me ask you: what’s your wife’s favorite color? Does she like flowers? Which flower would she love to get as a surprise from you, just because you love her? If you aren’t married, do you respect your future wife enough to keep yourself pure? What about God? Do you study Scripture as closely as you study sports? We need Godly men in this world; we need men of integrity. Where are the Godly men?

Marriage was ordained of God in the Garden of Eden, and His feelings about marriage haven’t changed at all. Marriage is a “picture” of Jesus’ love for His ekklesia (His church).

Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it, That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, The he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish” (Ephesians 5:25-27). 

Does that describe you? Do you expect your wife to work all day, keep the house perfectly clean, do the laundry, shuffle the children to babysitters and school functions, cook breakfast, make lunches, then cook dinner? That’s not a marriage; that’s a slave driver. Stop and examine your relationship with God. Do you honor Him, or do you think He expects too much of you? Do you love your wife as Jesus loved the church? Remember, Jesus gave His life for His Bride. Are you willing to set your selfish ways aside and sacrifice for your bride? We need Godly men who honor God each and every day.

What about your children? Are you an example of a Godly man that your sons can respect? Do you show them that a man honors God in all aspects of his life? What about your daughters? They need to see an example of the type of man to look for when choosing a husband. A Godly man will love his children and be the example they can follow throughout their lives. Do they see you studying God’s word? Do you lead your family in prayer? My youngest daughter would love to meet a Godly man whom she can respect. Her father, my husband, gave a hard example for any man to follow, and my daughter has no desire to settle for less.

And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord” (Ephesians 6:4).

Godly men bless their entire family. By the way, we also need Godly women who submit to God.

Godly men include grandpas, uncles, and brothers in Christ. If you see a family in need, step up. Be the example that a young man who has no Godly example to follow can be shown the right path. Remember to put God first, serve God, and don’t compromise. I’m blessed to know some very Godly men. These men are getting older. Where are the younger Godly men? If you’re a man, there’s a Godly man living in you. Let him out.

I’m sort of hurrying this along. I need to go get Mandi from work. I’ll be glad when we get her problem diagnosed, and hopefully it will be something that can be dealt with easily.

God bless you all,

Nathele Graham
