WASHINGTON/JERUSALEM (Worthy News) – U.S. Evangelist Franklin Graham, who has close ties with the White House and recently visited Israel, urged Christians to pray after the U.S. bombed three nuclear sites in Iran.
“Peace through strength is a true statement, but we must remember that God is our strength and ask for His help and direction,” said Franklin Graham, son of the late preacher Billy Graham
“As the sun comes up this morning, we see that America has executed military strikes to destroy Iran’s nuclear capabilities,” Graham added in an early morning message on social media.
“Pray for our nation. Pray for President Donald J. Trump and the leaders around him, and pray for our military,” he wrote. “Also, pray for Israel today as they continue to receive missile attacks.”
Franklin Graham noted that President Trump cited that Iran has long said, “Death to America” and “Death to Israel.” Graham warned that “Their hate is real”, referring to the Islamic leaders of Iran.
He spoke after U.S. Congressman Randy Fine, a Republican from Florida, said God saved Trump’s life to be commander-in-chief during what at least some view as prophetic upheaval in Israel and elsewhere in the Middle East.
Fine referred to July 13, 2024, when Trump, then a former president and presumptive Republican, survived an assassination attempt while speaking at an open-air campaign rally near Butler, Pennsylvania. “I believe God saved Donald Trump’s life so that he can save the world,” the congressman told U.S. broadcaster Fox News.
He stressed in the ‘Fox News Live’ program that “Trump deserves a Nobel Peace Prize” for the mission of “eliminating Iran’s nuclear threat.”
