Shalom Everyone,

In March 1859 - Charles Dickens began writing in “A tale of TWO Cities” 'It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the “Age of wisdom,” it was the “Age of foolishness” ... it was the Season of Light, it was the “Season of Darkness,” …it was the “spring of hope and it was the “winter of despair.” Had Dickens been reading Daniel 12? Not at all likely, but this is the feeling we get from this chapter as it starts off by speaking of; “…a time of distress such as has NOT happened from the beginning of Nations!”  Yet on the other side of the coin, this culminates in the best ever event soon to happen which is the return of the true World leader, Yeshua - Jesus Christ! 

When we look at what is taking place in our world today and as we …and many have been warning about the connection between the Nations of Red and Green for quite some time now! There is something strange and dangerous that many simply are NOT paying attention to in this “un-holy alliance,” unfolding in Western Nations; (1) It is taking place in streets, in University Campuses, in Governments controlled by Liberal Leaders supporting; Atheistic Marxists, Communists, Socialists Agendas. (2) And, with “Radical” Islamists Nations!

These two groups that should be "bitter enemies" today are linking arms… They call it solidarity! History calls it the "RED-GREEN Alliance!" And it is NO longer a theory. It is happening in real-time and it is taking place before our eyes in these Last Days. "Communism" denies Yahweh God of the Bible and "Islam" demands "submission" to their pagan god - Allah. Their theologies clash! Yet for over a Century they have repeatedly found "common cause against the same enemies which are; the Christian West, free markets, ISRAEL, and Yahweh – God’s Biblical view of Creation and humanity. 

How does Islam manage to take over the WEST? Ignorance plays a huge part! It is called DAWAH; Three steps; Immigrate into the West as a religious refugees through sympathy and befriend the Liberal anti-West Communists, Socialists. Increase and take over through rapid birth-rate, politics and marriage and through random attacks of violence usually carried out by young men. This enables them to take City by City …then the final goal - Nation by Nation. Eliminate those who oppose Islam through Islamic Jihad violence and come after those who support Israel. It’s a 1400-year plan through either Immigration or by the SWORD! Islam’s ultimate plan is Jerusalem and since the Christian Western Nations stand with Israel, they will use this three-step Dawah plan to eliminate the West!

Ignorance is bliss! Marxists and pro-Islam Westerners share a common hatred… a hatred of America - the West – Israel – Christianity - freedom, and rule of law... These secular liberal leftists – woke progressives are more than happy to UNITE in their war against the West. Western Civilization prizes liberty, tolerance, progress, compassion, and peace …while militant Islamists demand "submission" to their ancient and merciless code of theocratic laws. Their worldview is a throw-back to the 7^th century – yet oil wealth and 21^st -Century Western technologies have given them the power to destabilize …and to conquer our civilization. In all the Centuries since Muhammad founded the Muslim pagan "death-cult" religion …one thing has NEVER changed is Islam’s goal of World domination.

Islam is an "antichrist" religion! Many see Islam as a religion of peace BUT that is far from truth as they are occupiers UNTIL they conquer! A good example, of someone who is supposed to be the… "Defender of the Faith" in the United Kingdom is King Charles... In 1993 then "Prince" Charles became the patron of the Oxford Centre for Islamic Studies …and gave a lecture titled; "Islam and the West". In 1994 he said that he "preferred" the term "Defender of Faith" …big difference! "Defender of the Faith" is deeply rooted in the Biblical mandate to uphold and protect the core tenets of Christianity. While the "Defender of Faith" includes ALL Religions and NOT specific Christianity! 

So committed to Islam has he been that in 1996 the “grand mufti of Cyprus” claimed that Charles was a Muslim. Charles also studied Arabic so he could read the Quran in the original language. And for decades he “actively championed ISLAM as “more enlightened” than Western Civilization …and “more enlightened” than Christianity. The problem is that Islam’s ambition is to INVADE the safe space of a multi-faith environment.  Muhammed divided the world into two areas; (1) They are the Dar al-Islam (House of Islam), where Islamic law prevails …and (2) the Dar al-Harb (House of War), where it does not. Muhammad invited his followers “to pierce” the zone of “multi-faith” with “the call to submission” …and even sanctioned violence in any form to achieve it! In Surah 9, verse 29, he invited Muslims to fight those who do NOT believe (in Islam) until they are overcome and pay the jizya tax!

The Western Nations tend to explain WARS in terms of "Military strength," "Economics," "Diplomacy" and "Political ambition." Those factors certainly matter but when it comes to Iran, one critical element is often overlooked - Islamic theology! For many in the Islamic Republic of Iran (IRGC), history is NOT simply unfolding …it is moving toward a "divinely" ordained climax. The current conflict with the America and Israel is viewed by some NOT merely as another Middle East war BUT as part of the events that WILL usher in the return of Islam's long-awaited messianic figure - called the Mahdi. That belief is NO longer confined but has become intertwined with the ideology of the Islamic Republic itself, echoed by senior officials, promoted within the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and increasingly amplified today across the Muslim world through Social Media. This matters as beliefs shape behaviour! Nations do NOT simply fight with weapons; they fight with worldviews! And when these Radical Islamic Leaders become convinced, that they are participating in a "divine event" of their Quran …everything begins to change.

Why does the love-hate alliance between Communists and Islamists work (despite the contradictions)? Both systems are totalizing. Both divide the World into the “pure” and the “impure” (class enemy vs. unbeliever). Both subordinate the individual to the collective cause. Both treat private property and personal liberty as secondary to the Revolution or the religious-political Jihad. Both see Biblical Christianity as an obstacle! Leftists gain numbers, energy, and a ready-made “oppressed” category. Islamists gain platforms, legitimacy, and Political cover in progressive spaces. The contradictions are real …yet they are repeatedly set aside for the sake of the immediate struggle. History warns us that once the common enemy is weakened, the partners often turn on each other. In the meantime, the pressure falls on religious liberty, free speech, the family, and the Churches.

In Islam, there is NO separation between Mosque and State! The goal is to use the State whatever country they live in …to make everyone “submit” to Islam. If we want to see what this looks like, just check out almost any country in the Middle East that has a Muslim majority! They don't believe in “freedom of speech” NOR “freedom of Religion.” How many Churches there are in Saudi Arabia? The answer is ZERO! Churches are banned in Saudi Arabia. Now this same ideology is spreading in America, Europe, Australia and Western Countries and even has its footprint in South Africa …and that should deeply alarm all of us!

Leaders from Arab and Islamic countries gathered in Jordan during 5-6 August 2026 to issue yet another series of condemnations of Israel... Reading their statements, one could easily conclude that there is only one party responsible for all violence, instability, and suffering in the Middle East -Israel! Hamas was barely relevant? The Hamas terrorists led 7 October 2023 massacre of Israeli Citizens? Apparently NOT worth mentioning! And what about the Palestinian terrorism …and incitement against Israel? NOT on the agenda! The need to dismantle Hamas and other Palestinian terrorist groups? Evidently NOT a priority! 

What about Iran, the principal "sponsor" of Islamist terrorist organizations throughout the Middle East? And, what about Hezbollah, which joined the war against Israel immediately after 7 October 2023? What about the Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen, who have launched missiles and attack drones into Saudi Arabia and Israel attacking International shipping? Evidently, they too are NOT worthy of the attention! What about the ICJ Case so-called Genocide case implemented by ANC government in South Africa a Nation that has highest murders and crime in world of its own people? Apparently NOT on their Agenda either! And NOT important its only South African Government who are one of their proxies!

There was also NO condemnation of Iran and its NETWORK of “terrorist proxies,” even though they have ALL played and continue to play, a major role in destabilizing the Middle East and turning several Arab countries into arenas for Iran's regional ambitions! There was NO demand that Hezbollah surrender its weapons to the Lebanese army! No demand that the Houthis halt their attacks! No demand that Iran stop funding, arming, and supporting terrorist groups dedicated to attacking Israel and undermining Arab states. “And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.” – Zechariah 12:3. This Scripture reflects the theme of God’s Divine protection over Jerusalem, despite opposition from surrounding Nations! And “a burdensome stone” here suggests that ANY attempts to move or control Jerusalem …WILL be “heavy, dangerous, and ultimately destructive for those who try!” This is a Prophetic picture of Jerusalem’s UNIQUE role in World history and spiritual destiny in the Last Days. It’s a warning that Nations who oppose God’s purposes for Jerusalem and Israel WILL face consequences.

Understanding Iran’s SHADOW NETWORK of PROXIES! Yes, they are “shadow proxies!”  Iran’s shadow network will depend on several factors, including regional conflicts, shifts in alliances, and evolving counterstrategies by those they deem as their adversaries. While Iran’s proxies provide strategic advantages …they also present vulnerabilities, including internal divisions within that country, resource constraints, and potential overreach that could provoke a wider conflict. Understanding the depth and complexity of this “shadow network” is crucial! Iran’s IRGC’s ultimate goal is a (GREEN) Islamist “take-over” of the West using Government Leaders who claim to be Communists (RED) and by supplying those vulnerable, greedy, corrupt, anti-Israel governments with finances to help fund terrorism on their behalf …such as the so-called Gaza -“Palestinian cause!” Iran is silently working behind the scenes in such a way as to fool the ignorant population of their proxies! South Africa is a good example!

Instead, once again, the messages coming from Arab and Islamic Nations are clear …the problem is ALWAYS Israel! This selective outrage is NOT merely hypocritical BUT it is dangerous! By concentrating their attacks on Israel while largely ignoring Iran and Islamist terrorist groups such as Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis, Arab and Islamic Governments are reinforcing the extremists' narrative that its ALL about Israel - rather than Jihadist terrorism and Iranian interference which is the principal source of instability in the Middle East! Jordan, United Arab Emirates, Indonesia, Pakistan, Turkey, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt openly accused Israel of "violating" International law and for undermining efforts to implement - the Board of Peace Roadmap for Completing Implementation of US President Trump's Comprehensive "Peace Plan in Gaza!" They called for ALL those in Israel responsible for "grave violations" to be held "accountable" …BUT they conveniently forgot to mention that Hamas, by refusing to disarm and continuing to hold on to power in the Gaza Strip, is the party committing "grave violations."  

If accountability is important, why does it apply ONLY to Israel? Where is the demand to hold Hamas accountable for the 7 October 2023 “massacre” when Hamas terrorists and other Palestinians invaded Israel, murdered 1,200 innocent Israelis as well as Foreign Nationals wounded thousands more, and kidnapped 251 men, women and children, dragging some of them into the Gaza Strip as hostages in hostile inhumane conditions? Where is the demand that Hamas be held accountable for bringing death and destruction upon the Palestinians of the Gaza Strip by launching its invasion of Israel?

Did you know that a NEW NATO - Islamic military coalition also taking shape at this time that we all need to pay attention as it has far greater implications? Could this be the Ezekiel 38 alliance forming? Pakistan and Turkey signed a NATO-style mutual defence pact with Saudi Arabia consolidating their longstanding security ties into a “collective-defence alliance” that stipulates an attack against any of them “shall be regarded as attack on all three.” The three Nations in this NEW alliance are ALL Sunni Muslims …while Iran is majority Shia Muslim and enemies …BUT when it comes to ISRAEL: “The enemy of my enemy is my friend!” Scripture WILL come against Israel just as the Word of God warned us in these Last Days! 

Look at the FLAGS of the Nations (Red – Green)?

Here’s where the "Mecca Agreement" of 8 August 2026 gets interesting …as it brings Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan into a "mutual defence" arrangement! "Now look at this: Turkey has the second largest military power in NATO …while Saudi Arabia brings enormous OIL financial backing and Islamic influence because of Mecca …Pakistan brings nuclear weapons! Pakistan and Turkey each share a border with Iran, and both have strong reasons to prevent the conflict from spiralling. Pakistan must manage its sizeable "Shiite population" and its sensitive relationship with Iran …while Turkey and Iran share concerns over Kurdish separatism despite competing elsewhere in the region! One thing they ALL have in common is the DESTRUCTION of Israel and the Jewish people! A paper agreement between Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Pakistan will NOT bring them security! "For I will gather ALL nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city." – Zechariah 14:2.

Where else do we see RED, GREEN in Scripture? Yes, you got it! The 4-Horsemen of the Apocalypse are among the most dramatic images in the Bible. Described by the Apostle John in Revelation 6:1–8, the 4-horsemen are graphic symbols for the destruction that will come to the earth during the End-times. The 4-riders represent "conquest, the violence of warfare, famine, and widespread death!" The four horsemen ride on a white, red, black, and pale green horse! As Revelation 6 opens, John sees Yeshua - Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God, begin to open the first of 7-seals on a scroll. The scroll represents God’s future Judgement of people and Nations.

If we look carefully the flag of Jordan and the flag of Palestine are exactly the same! You see, Jordan is the home for Palestinians as it was given to them when it was called "Trans-Jordan!"  Most Islamic flags contain the colours of the Apocalypse! Even South African flag after 1994 is similar to these Muslim Flags and contain ALL 4-colours Red, Green, White and Black! Turkey flag is RED! China’s flag is also RED! 

Johathan Cahn explains; "All this hatred for Israel was done in the name of a flag… the flag of Palestine; white, red, black and green." He reveals that these colours symbolize the forces of opposition against Israel in the End-times, noting that; "Every Nation that has those colours… is an enemy of Israel. It’s no accident; it’s ALL linked to the End. We are living in Last Days"

Muslim military front against Israel?

When people look at Islam today, the rage against Israel! Its migration into Europe, its alliances with secular activists in the West, they see chaos. But Scripture reminds us that what looks like “chaos” is often the stage for God’s Judgment. God has always used Nations that hate Him to carry out His purposes …only to judge them in the end! Wicked Empires and Nations imagine they are acting on their own ambitions …but in truth they are carrying out the Judgments of God. That same principle is what makes Islam so significant in our own time. Islam is NOT an accident of History and it’s NOT just one more World Religion. It is, like Assyria, Babylon, and Rome before it, a system that exalts itself against God and His people …and yet God is allowing it to rise as His rod of judgment against a world that has called ‘good evil and evil good! 

"Woe to Assyria, the rod of my anger; the staff in their hands is My (God) fury!" – Isaiah 10:5. Assyria was brutal, ruthless, and godless, yet God called them His rod, His tool for disciplining Israel. Later, God judged Assyria for the very arrogance that made them useful. Babylon followed the same path. Nebuchadnezzar was called “My servant” as we read in Jeremiah 27:6 …even as he destroyed Jerusalem. God raised up Cyrus, king of Persia, and called him… “my anointed” - Isaiah 45:1 …to free His people even though Cyrus NEVER knew Him. Rome, too, was allowed to rise in power, so much so that it crucified Yeshua (Jesus Christ) the Messiah Himself …and yet Rome was judged in Revelation.

Our culture has so confused itself that it demands kindness to the cruel while committing cruelty to the kind… It grants endless excuses for Islam’s violence while condemning Christianity wholesale! It tears down the very Civilization that gave it the right to speak freely, while siding with the system that would silence it! This is NOT just coincidence. It is judgment. Islam is uniquely suited for this role today and it has the numbers, the reach, the ideology, and the sheer aggression to serve as “the rod.” Its history has always been about cruelty, conquest, submission, and domination. But now, in our Last Day’s Generation, Islam (GREEN) has partners with the secular Liberal West, the Academic elite, the progressive activist, corrupt greedy governments and Communists (RED) They may hate each other’s values …but they share ONE clear goal, dismantling the Christian West and destroy ISRAEL!

This is how God works in judgment. He doesn’t need His enemies to repent before He uses them… God doesn’t need to bless them with righteousness before He makes them His tools …He simply lets them be what they already are …and He uses their rebellion to accomplish His Divine purposes. That is what Assyria was. That is what Babylon was. That is what Rome was. And that is what Islam is today! The warning could NOT be clearer to those Nations that come against His Land and people – ISRAEL! You see, Islam is NOT simply a pagan Religion, NOT merely a Political movement, NOT only a cultural force …it is the ROD of God’s anger in our… “like in the days of Noah and Sodom” generation. The question is NOT whether God will use it - He already is …and the question is whether we will recognize it for what it is, and whether we will repent before that ROD falls in full.

When the Apostle John wrote Revelation on the Island of Patmos, he described a vision of 4-horsemen riding out as God’s judgments on the earth; "I looked, and behold, a white horse! Its rider had a bow, and a crown was given to him, and he came out conquering, and to conquer.…And out came another horse, bright red. Its rider was permitted to take peace from the earth, so that people should slay one another, and he was given a great sword.…And behold, a black horse! And its rider had a pair of scales in his hand. And I heard what seemed to be a voice… saying, ‘A quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius, and do not harm the oil and wine!’…And I looked, and behold, a pale horse! And its rider’s name was Death and Hades followed him." -Revelation 6:2–8. What makes that vision extraordinary is NOT just the judgments themselves, but the details that he recorded! You see, details that, at the time, seemed strange and unnecessary! 

As we see that the Apostle John named 4-horses by their 4-colours: White, RED, Black, and pale GREEN! If John saw the 4-horses of 4-colours …bringing 4-judgments …and those exact 4-colours now mark the Nations most DEFINED by those judgments …then we should NOT shrug our shoulders. We should recognize the handwriting of Prophecy in the making! At the time when he wrote this, the colours themselves had NO obvious significance …yet centuries later, those 4-colours became the very symbols of Islam. They were NOT chosen randomly. Islam assigned them to its four great dynasties, each one carrying a reputation that matches the very judgments of the horsemen. And Centuries after that, when Islamic nations formed in the Modern World, they adopted those same 4-colours for their flags and so against all odds, the 4-horsemen’s colours became the banners of Islam. Prophecy is not merely about knowing what will happen. It is about being ready when it happens.

The coming Muslim military front against Israel? Isaiah 28:15 tells us that during the Tribulation - Israel’s primary reason for making a Covenant with the Antichrist is to avoid military invasion precipitated by the Gog and Magog invasion of Ezekiel 38–39, involving Turkey, Iran, Russia, and others. Zechariah 12:3 tells us clearly that Jerusalem WILL become “a burdensome stone” …for ALL Nations. Don’t just watch the wars …watch the alliances. And watch Turkey! Keep your eyes on the Islamic world …and above all, keep your eyes on Israel and Jerusalem!

Iran’s believes nuclear weapons will allow them to destroy Israel… As we read in; Psalm 83:4’ “Come, they say, let us destroy them (Israel) as a Nation! WHY? Simply to facilitate the necessary “chaos” required for the arrival of their Islamic Mahdi! It is NO accident that Islamic marches worldwide rally under’ the 4-colour version’ of the Palestinian flag …using it as a call to UNITY among Muslims across Nations. It would seem like a picture of what the Apostle John saw in his Revelation of 4-colours that reflect Islamic Caliphates, ALL of which mirror the descriptions of the horsemen in Revelation 6:2-8. It is as though history prepared us true believers in Yeshua who are following the “SIGNS” to recognize the pattern so that when the final convergence came, we would not miss it and that we would recognize the hour we living in!

The original LAND that God promised to the Jews (Genesis 15:18-21) through Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. It's called Israel… It includes part of Egypt, part of Saudi Arabia, part of Iraq, part of Syria, part of Turkey, ALL of Jordan, and ALL of Lebanon. The world decided differently against God’s plan. Yahweh God knows exactly what is going on in Israel right now! God sees the "hidden forces" operating behind the scenes. These lands WILL be acquired either during our lifetime or after Daniel's 70th week (Daniel 9:20-27) …but one thing is sure, God’s Promises WILL be kept, whether we like it or not! Watch closely!

The vision of Revelation 6 is no longer only apocalyptic imagery… It is today visible in our headlines, Media and even Governments as well as in the flags of Nations and especially in the suffering of millions around the world at the hands of militant radical Islam that has taken up the mantle of “conquest, war, famine, and death,” NOT as coincidence but as fulfilment of the very judgments Revelation foretold. As believers we are called to see this for what it is! We are NOT asked to stop it, “for these things must take place,” but to endure, to testify …and to refuse the deception of those who say Islam is a path to peace. The riders do NOT bring peace! They bring only what the Book of Revelation told us they would: “conquest, blood, famine, and death!” And, if the horsemen ride beneath “the banners of Islam,” then we must ask the next question: is Islam only another shadow, or is it the beast itself?

The vision in Revelation 6 does not stop with the 4-horsemen… It presses forward to the RISE of "the Beast System that does NOT merely bring "conquest, famine, or death," … but demands the "allegiance" of humanity itself; "It was given authority over every tribe, people, language, and nation. All inhabitants of the earth will worship the beast… so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name" -Revelation 13:7, 17. The beast is NOT just a ruler; it is a SYSTEM of domination that WILL touch daily lives, the economy, worship, even survival. When we compare this with Islam …the parallels are NOT just eerie, they are overwhelming and similar control!

What is our response as true Bible believers? We do NOT wrestle against flesh and blood alone - Ephesians 6:12. These ideologies reject the Lordship of Yeshua - Jesus Christ. Communists are Atheists that deny God outright! Political Islam offers a rival revelation that denies the Trinity, the Incarnation, and the Cross! Our calling is clear; Discern the times we are living in without panic or naivety! (1) We must REFUSE the "atheistic" Communism and Socialism and Islam. (2) DEFEND the Biblical dignity of every person and God’s plan and order of family and the freedom to preach the gospel. (3) PRAY for the conversion of individuals trapped in these unholy systems. (4) STAND with ISRAEL (5) SPEAK UP for the persecuted Church often hardest hit under both (RED) Communist and (GREEN) Islamist regimes. (6) Speak Biblical truth in the public square without apology. Yes, the red-green alliance is real, and it is advancing …but it is NOT ultimate. Christ is Lord over every ideology and every Nation …and every age. The Church’s task remains the same: proclaim Christ crucified and risen and refuse to surrender the ground He has given us! God bless you!

We most sincerely believe that God WILL bless you for your faithfulness and love for His land and chosen people. God’s Word is true! He IS watching to see how the Nations are treating His people. God will have mercy on Israel through Gentile believers acting as mediators towards them. This is one of the most amazing revelations ever given to the Church – an opportunity to do something that carries the highest priority in the heart of God. Yet, sadly, so few have seen the potential and the rewards of serving God in this manner - as agents of mercy to Israel and the Jewish people! Israel was and still is despised today and a despised Nation continually turning away from God …BUT nothing ever altered the purpose of God for that Nation. The "despised element" is always a noticeable element in the purpose of God. When the Saviour of the world came, He came of that "despised Nation" (and just like Israel) He Himself was "…despised and rejected by men." And there is that despised element; "…things that are despised God has chosen," - 1 Corinthians 1:28.

We hope that you enjoy and become more informed by our work. We serve an awesome God and we are humbled by this opportunity to bring you this information.

With Shalom to you and your family always,
