Strikes in Iran. Escalation in the Middle East. Growing nuclear concerns. For many, it feels like just another crisis in an endless cycle of global instability. But Jesus Christ told us how to understand moments like these.
In this Beyond Today short, host Steve Myers explains what Christ meant when He warned of “wars and rumors of wars” and described them as the “beginning of sorrows”—a phrase that literally means birth pains. Birth pains don’t signal random chaos; they signal movement toward something. Bible prophecy shows that events involving Persia—modern-day Iran—play a role in the unfolding prophetic landscape.
Yet this message isn’t about speculation or fear. It’s about readiness. Jesus said, “See that you are not troubled,” and also warned us not to let our hearts grow weighed down by the cares of this life. Prophecy isn’t given to create spectators—it’s meant to shape disciples.
If you know the truth, the time to act is now. Lift up your head. Your redemption draws near.
