Iran, West make progress on deal; Muslim trust damaging Jewish heritage on Temple Mount (Second Coming Watch Update #458)
1. According to Israel National News, Iran and world power representatives agreed on Friday on how to implement a landmark deal on containing Tehran's nuclear program, but stamps of approval from each country are still needed before it can take effect.
2. According to Jewish News Service, a recently revealed Israeli State Comptroller’s report that remains under a government gag order has ignited concern over the Muslim Waqf’s attempts to erase Jewish ties on the Temple Mount—Judaism’s holiest site—and Israeli authorities’ neglect of those activities.
3. According to Ynet News, Iran and Russia are negotiating an oil-for-goods swap that would let Iran lift oil exports substantially, in defiance of the Western sanctions that helped force Tehran in November to agree a preliminary deal to end its nuclear program.
4. According to The Times of Israel, the Ministry of Housing and Construction announced on Friday that it had approved tenders for 1,400 new housing units in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.
5. According to the Associated Press, a 5.1-magnitude earthquake struck in the Straits of Florida off Cuba on Thursday, startling office workers in medium-rise buildings set swaying in Havana.
The Bible says in Mark 13:35-37: "Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning: Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping. And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch."

A Prayer for God to Be Your Shield and Portion Today - Your Daily Prayer - May 24
I love this passage in the Bible because it sums up the spiritual reality in all difficult circumstances. How many times do we see the enemy and opposing forces against us, just like Elisha’s servant? And that puts us in a panic - yet the angelic armies of the Living God are unseen but present nonetheless, and far greater. We just need to see that substantial truth!
