Tisha B`Av/9th of Av, 5785/2025

Posted in #PaulthePoke, Gaza Strip/Philistia, Prophecy, Trend Update with tags , , , , , , , , , , on July 31, 2025 by paulthepoke

2 Peter 3:12 as you anticipate and hasten the coming of the day of God, when the heavens will be destroyed by fire and the elements will melt in the heat.

Tisha b’Av:  to the Jew, this is a date, the 9th of the Hebrew month Av. It is the 11th month of the civil calendar or the 5th month of the religious calendar. The month is not named in the Bible. Av usually occurs during July or August on the Gregorian calendar.

This year, the 9th of Av begins at sunset on Saturday, August 2, 2025 on our western Gregorian calendar.

The 9th of Av is a day of mourning in Israel. Tragedy came about because of the account of Numbers 13-14. This event occurred immediately after God had delivered Israel out of bondage in Egypt. The short story is the Lord told Moses to send a group of spies to go scout the Promised Land. The spies came back and proclaimed the Jews could not take the land because of the inhabitants of the land were too big and too strong. The people rebelled against Moses. The people stated they would rather go back to Egypt. The nation (except Caleb and Joshua) did not believe God to give them the Promised Land. We know it occurred during the grape harvest per the text (Numbers 13:20). This event is said to have occurred on the 9th of Av. God pronounced judgment on the nation at that time. And this date is said to be a reminder of nation Israel’s lack of faith in God.

Numbers 13:20 …and whether the land is rich or poor, and whether there are trees in it or not. Be of good courage and bring some of the fruit of the land.” Now the time was the season of the first ripe grapes.

We are approaching the 20th anniversary of Israel handing over the Gaza Strip to the Palestinians. Remember the promise of appeasement, “Land for peace.” This occurred on the 9th of Av in 5765/2005 (Gregorian year).

Ezekiel 38… The Bible says there will come a time when Israel will stand alone an no nation will come to their defense.

As of July 2025, 148 of the 193 United Nations member states recognize the State of Palestine, representing about 75% of UN members. The Holy See (Vatican City), a UN observer state, also recognizes Palestine. -Grok AI

What do the kings of the south know?

  1. 586 BC, the first Temple was destroyed.
  2. 70 AD, the second Temple was destroyed.

Acts 8:1 And Saul was there, giving approval to Stephen’s death. On that day a great persecution broke out against the church in Jerusalem, and all except the apostles were scattered throughout Judea and Samaria.

Preamble

Judea, Samaria, and the Jordan Valley are an inseparable part of the Land of Israel — the historic, cultural, and spiritual homeland of the Jewish people.

Centuries and millennia before the establishment of the modern State, the forefathers and prophets of the nation lived and acted in these regions. Here, the foundations of Jewish faith and culture were laid. Cities like Hebron, Shechem (Nablus), Shiloh, and Beit El are not merely historical sites — they are living expressions of the continuous Jewish presence in the Land.

Sovereignty in Judea and Samaria is an inseparable component of the fulfillment of Zionism and the national vision of the Jewish people’s return to its homeland.

The Shmini Atzeret Massacre of October 7, 2023, proved that the establishment of a Palestinian state poses an existential threat to Israel, its citizens, and the entire region.

In its decision of 12th of Tammuz 5784 (July 18, 2024), the Knesset declared its opposition to the establishment of a Palestinian state west of the Jordan River, affirming that such a state would endanger Israel and its citizens, perpetuate the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and destabilize the region. This resolution removed the idea of a Palestinian state from the national agenda.

Daniel 9:26 Then after the sixty-two weeks the Messiah will be cut off and will have nothing. Then the people of the prince who is to come will destroy the city and the sanctuary. The end will come like a flood, and until the end there will be war; desolations have been decreed.

Yours truly was on the end of a local flood in the Kansas City metro. We’ve had two rounds of flooding rains in the past week. 10.5 inches of rain occurred over night. Our basement took on a few inches of water. Lots of damage observed here locally. Fortunately, no injuries at our place, just a big mess to clean up. Ahhhh, the smell of bleach.

Between Jan. 1 and July 18, the U.S. National Weather Service (NWS) issued more than 3,200 flash flood warnings from coast to coast. To put that into perspective, the NWS has issued an average of 3,938 flash flood warnings per year for the past ten years—and it’s only the middle of July.

This Week in Prophecy: Damascus; Quakes in Alaska; Vissarion

Posted in #PaulthePoke, Burden of Damascus, Earthquakes/Volcanoes, Prophecy, Trend Update with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on July 17, 2025 by paulthepoke

Isaiah 17:1 This is the burden against Damascus: “Behold, Damascus is no longer a city; it has become a heap of ruins.

Claim: Damascus is the oldest continually inhabited city on the planet. The city’s had residents and inhabitants for over 5,000 years.

Damascus is going to be wiped out. The Hebrew is interesting in the description. The grammar states it is going to be taken away and removed. One could state it will be a ruined ruin or a ruined heap!

Different names and different organizations lead to confusion about the identity of groups and people. We know who the author of confusion is.

Recent history lesson, President Trump lifted economic sanctions earlier in 2025 against Syria and newly appointed leader and President Abu Mohammed al Jolani (formerly of ISIS), he is aka Syrian President Ahmed al Sharaa. He also has ties to Al Qaeda. He is former commander of Al-Qaeda al-Jolani. He also has ties to the terrorist group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS). Al Sharaa founded the al-Nusra Front in Syria. This is the same person. He has ties to multiple terrorist organizations.

Friendly reminder from December 2016: Water springs north and west of Damascus have been poisoned with diesel by the rebels or Al-Nusra or Al-Qaeda in Syria (group supported by Obama Administration). The areas are Wadi Barada and Ain al-Fija springs. These springs provide 70% of the water for the city of Damascus. Up to 4 million people in and around Damascus were affected.

Quakes in various places… -Jesus

A magnitude 7.3 earthquake struck 54 miles south of Sand Point, Alaska, on July 16, 2025, at 12:37 p.m. local time, triggering a tsunami warning for parts of Southcentral and Southwest Alaska, including the Alaska Peninsula, Aleutian Islands, and Kodiak Island. The warning was downgraded to an advisory by 1:50 p.m. and canceled by 2:45 p.m. A small tsunami with a maximum wave height of 0.2 feet (about 3 inches) was observed in Sand Point around 3:10 p.m. -Grok

In a stunning move, this earthquake was upgraded to 7.3.

Mark 13:22 For false christs and false prophets will rise and show signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.

A Russian court has sentenced Sergei Torop, a former traffic officer who claimed to be the reincarnation of Jesus , to 12 years in prison for harming the mental and physical health of his followers. The 64-year-old cult leader, known to his followers as “Vissarion,” was convicted alongside two associates for maintaining a religious organization that violated civil rights and caused physical harm to members.

Russia Jails “Jesus of Siberia”

Vissarion is a repeat offender. He was arrested in September of 2020.

Red Heifer Update: Sacrificial Practice

Posted in #PaulthePoke, Prophecy, Trend Update with tags , , , , , on July 14, 2025 by paulthepoke

Numbers 19:5-6 And the heifer shall be burned in his sight. Its skin, its flesh, and its blood, with its dung, shall be burned. And the priest shall take cedarwood and hyssop and scarlet yarn, and throw them into the fire burning the heifer.

Somewhere in Samaria…

In the drill, a red heifer that had been housed at Shiloh by the Boneh Israel organization was prepared and burned on a pyre of wood as preparation for the possibility of an actual ceremony in the future. The heifer was not suitable for the actual ceremony, as it had been inspected by the rabbis of the Temple Institute and judged to have non-red hairs, thereby disqualifying it. The heifer was burned on a pyre of wood precisely as specified in Jewish sources.

When the time comes, the official sacrifice will take place on the Mount of Olives.

The red heifer project is under the direction of Rabbi Azariah Ariel of the Temple Institute.

https://www.israelnationalnews.com/news/411316

Practice Burning of Red Heifer Carried Out

Sacrificial red heifer practice was initiated back in August 2019.

Red Heifer Update: Heifer Burning Practice

As of March 2025, there are no red heifer candidates per Rabbi Azariah Ariel.

“At this moment, we don’t have in our possession in Israel a red heifer that is verifiably kosher and suited for the ceremony…”

As many Christians are acutely aware, animal sacrifices for sin are no longer required. However, these things are still prophesied. After all, the antichrist needs a Temple to defile.

To be clear, the red heifer is the symbol or type of things to come. Jesus Christ is the real deal, the fulfillment.

The innocent, shed blood of Jesus Christ on the cross is the fulfillment of forgiveness and the release from sin.

Hebrews 9:22 And according to the Law, one may almost say, all things are cleansed with blood, and without shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.

As the red heifer was and will be again sacrificed outside the city limits of Jerusalem, so was Jesus Christ. As the sacrifice of the red heifer is for the purification and consecration of the people of Israel, so was and is Jesus Christ.

Hebrews 13:12 Therefore Jesus also, that He might sanctify the people through His own blood, suffered outside the gate.

Christ’s sacrifice is not only for the people of Israel, but for all the people of the world. He is the sacrifice for all sin for all time.

1 John 1:7 but if we walk in the Light as He Himself is in the Light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin.

This Week in Prophecy: Netanyahu to DC; Nahum’s Tomb; Dept of Injustice

Posted in #PaulthePoke, Kurds/Medes, Mosul/Nineveh, Prophecy, Trend Update with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on July 10, 2025 by paulthepoke

Galatians 3:7-9 Understand, then, that those who have faith are sons of Abraham. The Scripture foresaw that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, and foretold the gospel to Abraham: “All nations will be blessed through you.” So those who have faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith.

Let’s be clear, faith in the good news of Jesus Christ. Humanity has a problem, sin.

Galatians 3:14 He redeemed us in order that the blessing promised to Abraham would come to the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit.

Vice President JD Vance attended the meeting in the Oval Office in the White House.

Let’s face it. The Israeli and Arab conflict is a family feud from the offspring of Isaac and Ishmael. I suspect definitions of Abraham and faith are about to get twisted. I smell the expansion of the Abraham Accords.

Nahum 1:1 The burden against Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.

Context, Nahum was writing about the future judgment of Nineveh or modern day Mosul, Iraq. This is the same place Jonah preached repentance to the Assyrian Empire capital and they had a change of heart. Jonah was buried in ancient Nineveh, modern day Mosul.

Today in the 21st century, this region is a Kurdish area in northern Iraq, inhabited by Christians.

There is some debate as to the location of “Elkosh”. There are three options.

Judean Proposal: Early Christian commentators (Jerome, Eusebius) placed Elkosh in southern Judah near present-day Beit Guvrin, citing a local synagogue that claimed Nahum’s tomb.

Galilean Proposal: The name “Capernaum” (“village of Nahum”) in Galilee suggests a northern site; if correct, Jesus ministered in the region that once sent a prophet to denounce Nineveh (Matthew 4:13).

Assyrian Proposal: Modern Alqosh in northern Iraq lies about thirty miles north of ancient Nineveh and preserves the name. This view would situate Nahum among exiles or merchants living on Assyrian soil, heightening the boldness of his message.

We first covered this story back in 2021.

Four years later…

In Iraq, restored tomb of biblical prophet Nahum quietly attracts Jewish pilgrimage

Despite geopolitical tensions, dozens of Jews, including Israelis, have journeyed to shrine in Kurdish city of Alqosh since its rehabilitation in 2022, says project organizer

A day after arriving in Erbil, the capital of Iraq’s autonomous Kurdish region, Michigan rabbi Asher Lopatin woke up at 3 a.m. and set out across the dusty desert landscape for the small town of Alqosh, some 120 kilometers (75 miles) away.

“Alqosh is a beautiful Christian town. Some city officials met me at 4:30 a.m., and then we went to the grave. Sunrise was around 5:30 a.m. As we made our way there, the light grew brighter and brighter. It was beautiful.”

“Kurdistan is a magical oasis of tolerance and openness.”

Isaiah 59:14-15 So justice is turned away, and righteousness stands at a distance. For truth has stumbled in the public square, and honesty cannot enter. Truth is missing, and whoever turns from evil becomes prey. The LORD looked and was displeased that there was no justice.

Epstein case closed. According to the Justice Department, Epstein committed suicide and there is no client list…

A very frustrating detail, who has legal jurisdiction on Epstein Island? It is a privately owned island with no country attachment. Simply put, The United States Virgin Islands is an organized, unincorporated territory of the United States, meaning it follows U.S. laws but also has its own local government. Then, things get complicated…

Ghislaine Maxwell Trial Under Way… Czekmate
Breaking… Epstein Client List

Remember, evidence previously released is from Giuffre v. Maxwell, Case No. 15-cv-7433-LAP.

Virginia Giuffre would later die of suicide at her home in Neergabby, Western Australia, on April 25, 2025.

Isaiah 59:18 So He will repay according to their deeds: fury to His enemies, retribution to His foes, and recompense to the islands.
