Tonight on The Hal Lindsey Report

Last week, in Chattanooga, Tennessee, terror struck again. 

Mohammod Youssuf Abdulazeez was a young Muslim man whose jihadist tendencies were a surprise to his friends. Last week, he drove to an armed forces recruiting center and began firing an assault rifle into the front windows of the center. Fortunately, no one was killed. 

He then led police on a chase across town that ended at a Naval Reserve Center. There, he killed four Marines and a sailor who died later. Abdulazeez was shot and killed by police. 

Abdulazeez disproved President Obama's assertions that all the jihadists are after is a more just life with greater economic opportunity. He had a degree in electrical engineering from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. He lived in a comfortable neighborhood and seemed to have a productive and full social life. He drove a young man's dream car. 

But in the last few years, he had made a couple of trips to Jordan and Kuwait. His friends recalled that when he returned, he seemed "different." 

Some of his actions and activities in the last few days of his life suggest that he acted out of Islamic motives, not frustration over job prospects. 

Yet, members of the mainstream media and our government are still reluctant to even imply that his religion had anything to do with it. 

It seems that everybody in America, even many Muslims, outside the mainstream media and the federal government recognize what is happening.  

And we also know that we will never defeat an enemy whose very existence we deny. 

But apparently this Administration has determined that not only do we not need to identify the enemy, as long as we deny it exists, we can live side-by-side with it. 

Last week, the P5+1 nations, plus Germany and the EU reached an agreement with Iran on its nuclear program. 

No surprise here. Iran got everything it wanted and we got nothing. Israel got less. That's because this agreement, the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), virtually makes impossible any future Israeli military strike against Iran's nuclear program. 

But it did not take Israel out of Iran's crosshairs. 

This week, I am going to attempt to give you a succinct explanation of why I think this pact with Iran is virtually a pact with the devil. I'll also show you why I think it's all smoke and mirrors. It's an agreement that does not really limit Iran's ability to secure a nuclear weapon but, rather, disguises the clear path that Obama/Kerry left open for Iran. 

I believe the events of the past few weeks have helped to further set the world's stage for the great drama of Bible-predicted things to come. 

Folks, we are moving ever closer to the Rapture of the Church. Get ready!
