Israel and the United States are facing an historic moment that could have grave consequences if not handled right. While the US Administration seems determined to sign any deal with Iran that they can, Israel and members of Congress are warning about the dangers of signing a bad deal with Iran. Iran is not only pursuing a nuclear arms program but is developing missiles that can deliver those weapons not just to Israel but to Europe and the United States.
Christian leaders need to be educating their membership about this grave danger and encouraging them to be in much prayer about these events, and to speak out in their local churches, media and to their elected representatives.
