'The Return Of Jesus Is Back On The Menu': MAGA Evangelicals Celebrate The Attack On Iran
When Israel launched an attack on Iran in June of 2025, religious-right activists celebrated, excited by the prospect that it could precipitate the End Times and the return of Jesus Christ. Predictably, these same religious-right activists are once again overjoyed after the United States and Israel began jointly bombing Iran over the weekend, killing the nation's supreme leader and dozens of top military commanders. While the attack has generated retaliatory strikes and fears of a wider Middle East war, evangelical Trump supporters are gushing over President Donald Trump's action, with megachurch pastor Jack Hibbs declaring that "for such a time as this, this man is being led by God."

May 29, 2022: Denver Post: Christian nationalism on the rise in some GOP campaigns
Pastor Jack Hibbs of Calvary Chapel Chino Hills in Chino Hills, California, has also sought to influence local elections. While he does not let candidates campaign at the church, he frequently offers endorsements as a way of signaling to his flock those who are “pro-family, pro-life and pro-freedom.”
But “the hair on my neck goes up” when he hears the term “Christian nationalism,” he said. And he was embarrassed to see Christian imagery during the Jan. 6 riot: “That was a sad day, to see those sacred symbols and words pimped like that.”
Yet while he believes the founders created a secular nation, Hibbs said every Christian should have an equal say.

While born-again Christians favored Carter over Republican Gerald Ford, 58 to 33 percent, in the 1976 Presidential Election, their allegiance switched to Ronald Reagan in the 1980s, due in part to the work of independent (and eventual Southern) Baptist Jerry Falwell’s Moral Majority. Falwell formed his political organization in advance of the 1980 election to counter what he and his allies perceived to be a moral decline in America in the 1960s and 1970s. Falwell’s Moral Majority sought a return to promoting the (White) Christian traditional heterosexual nuclear family on the heels of recent movements aimed at greater racial, gender and sexual equality. The group helped deliver important electoral gains, especially in the South, for Reagan, who similarly campaigned as a “family values” conservative. The Moral Majority supported Reagan’s successor, George H.W. Bush, in 1988, which demonstrated the power and GOP leanings of the White evangelical vote. --Flavio Rogerio Hickel Jr; Washington Post; Born-again Christians are less Southern Baptist than they used to be 7.7.23

CHURCH HIGHLIGHT: RESURRECTION LIFE CHURCH – PICAYUNE, MS Resurrection Life Church, located in Picayune, Mississippi exists to fervently pursue the arrangements of opportunities for God and man to meet by passionately loving Him and loving people. In 1988 RLC was birthed in the heart of a man who wanted to love people who had been beaten, battered, and bruised by the world and by the institutionalized Church. It was out of that heart that Resurrection Life Church was started. Founding Pastor James Hickman or, “Papa” as he was affectionately known to many for years, was a gentle giant. His heart for Picayune was not only evident to RLC but to the whole community. In 2000 Pastor James Hickman stepped down and turned the leadership role over to his youngest son, Allen Hickman. Pastor Allen was with his dad at the inception of RLC and still serves the people of RLC and their city faithfully and passionately as lead pastor. Under the leadership of Pastor Allen, the church has grown to well over 1500 people meeting in weekly services at two campuses. Throughout its history, RLC has reached out to the city and community in many ways......They are now in the development stage of a “NEW HOME”. They have over 50 acres in the Picayune city limits that they are in the process of developing a master plan for the acreage. The dream is to have a 1,500 seat main auditorium with children’s and youth ministry space, a sports complex, and retirement housing. (Significant Church Network 5/5/24) READ MORE>>>>>  Allen Hickman
“The book of Exodus tells the account of when God used Moses to set His people free from slavery in Egypt. With mighty miracles, He led them out of captivity with the promise of bringing them into a land of their very own. However, when Israel finally arrived at the Promised Land, they were so afraid of its inhabitants that they refused to enter it. Because they didn't trust God, they walked away from their planned destination and began living without a destination at all. For the next 40 years they wandered...and that's a perfect representation of what it's like to live a life without vision. There's a lot of movement without heading toward a destination!" -Allen Hickman; Irreplaceable; 2019

In Jude 4 we read a sobering description of not merely sinful teaching, but the sinful lifestyles of false teachers. Jude writes, “For certain people have crept in unnoticed, those who were long beforehand marked out for this condemnation, ungodly persons who turn the grace of our God into indecent behavior and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.”
The word for licentiousness he uses also translates as “sensuality” and means “lack of self-constraint which involves one in conduct that violates all bounds of what is socially acceptable.”(1) False teachers don’t only go too far with their doctrine, they always go too far with their deeds. They are marked by sins of “self-love” which is precisely why Paul warns Timothy that in the last days, men will be “lovers of self” (2 Timothy 3:2).
When false teachers speak out of the sides of their mouths and try to appear orthodox, there is still one surefire way to discern their deceptive patterns. One must look at their lifestyle in the wake of their claim to orthodoxy. If they appear to repent of a certain false teaching or veer away from it, one must ask, did they also repent of their greed, sexual immorality, homosexuality, and patterns of falsehood?
It is entirely convenient for a false teacher to edit a book secretly, or to quietly distance themselves from other false teachers who are bad for business, but does the deceptive teacher openly repent of their lifestyle of sin? If not, they are much more akin to Adam and Eve trying to foolishly hide from God in the garden (Genesis 3:8), rather than the Publican who openly cried out for mercy and identified himself as a sinner (Luke 18:9-14).

This story is an incredible lesson to all of us that what we might think is the reason for sickness isn’t always the reason. Our finite human wisdom gets us only so far. Jesus makes it clear that God’s purposes and ways are far above our pay grade and that we do not control His plan and schedule. Sometimes God allows certain things or determines how long a circumstance will last so He can showcase His infinite power and wisdom and reveal more of Himself to us. We wouldn’t praise Him for His mercy if we weren’t aware of His wrath. We wouldn’t appreciate His love for sinners if we didn’t realize His hatred of sin. In the same way, we couldn’t begin to glorify Him for His healing hand if we didn’t experience (or see) sickness. -Costi Hinn
