Watch Focus: Israel, Iran, and the Middle East

Friday, Jul 17, 2015 This week the P5 + 1 world leaders announced an historic nuclear agreement with Iran that many believe will leave Israel and other Middle East nations very vulnerable to nuclear threat from Iran in the near future. Let us cover Israel with our prayers in regards to this increased threat. Let us hold up the hands of Mr. Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of Israel, even as Aaron and Hur held up the hands of Moses during the attack from Amalek in Exod. 17. May the other key nations in this volatile region have wisdom as they grow closer to Israel in light of this increased threat of a nuclear arms race.

We urge the watchmen intercessors across the nations to encourage each other and increase our commitment to praise and prayer.
