Dr. Robert Jeffress on Why the Iran Bombing Matters for Israel, Prophecy, and the Church
This Sunday morning, following the U.S. bombing of Iran’s nuclear facilities, Dr. Robert Jeffress, Senior Pastor of First Baptist Church Dallas, opened the service with a bold and timely response to the crisis. Before delivering his message, Dr. Jeffress addressed the congregation directly, speaking to the biblical and prophetic significance of the military action and affirming America’s responsibility to stand with Israel.
“Those who oppose Israel,” he said, “are always on the wrong side of history and, more importantly, on the wrong side of God.”
He also shared that he had personally contacted Trump days before the strike, offering support and reminding him that millions of Christians were praying for his leadership and protection.
In the full sermon, Dr. Jeffress explores:
- The spiritual forces at work behind Iran’s hatred of Israel
- Why Satan’s war against God’s people is intensifying
- How President Trump’s decision reflects prophetic alignment
- What every Christian needs to know and do in these critical days
Dr. Jeffress emphasized that this moment is not just geopolitical; it is spiritual. He explained why Israel is unlike any other nation, created by God with a divine promise of endurance, and why standing with Israel is not optional for believers; it’s obedience.
