Trump just announced a deal with Iran. “Largely negotiated.” The IRGC intact. The Strait of Hormuz reopened. In the book of Samuel, God told King Saul to finish the job. Destroy Amalek completely. No exceptions. No negotiations. Saul won the battle, but spared the king, kept the spoils and called it a victory. Samuel didn’t see it that as a victory and neither did God. Saul lost his kingdom not because he lost the war. But because he stopped one move too short and called it peace. The IRGC is still standing. The head is still attached. And somewhere in Tehran, they’re celebrating a very good day. I pray I’m wrong. I’ve been wrong before. But when a king has the mandate, the moment, and the power and chooses the deal over the mission, history doesn’t grade on a curve. Praying for Israel. Trusting in God. Not in agreements. “Do not put your trust in princes, Nor in a son of man, in whom there is no help.” (Psalm 146)
"A man or woman who commits any of man's sins.... they shall confess their sin.... he shall make restitution for his guilt." ...

"But I don't want to go among mad people," Alice remarked. "Oh, you can't help that," said the Cat: "we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad." "How do you know I'm mad?" said Alice. "You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn't have come here."
Trump deal 60 days - approx. Tisha B'Av?
