Ezekiel 38-39, Jeremiah 49 Ancient Persia, Elam or modern day Iran.

Kharg Island Iran: 90% of Iranian oil goes through this island in the northern Persian Gulf. This is Iran’s economic engine.

Keep an eye on President Trump’s Board of Peace. The Executive Board currently has nine members including Trump and his life time appointment and Chairman. Currently, 4 of the 9 identify as Jewish. These include: Jared Kushner, Steve Witkoff, Marc Rowan, and Robert Gabriel, Jr.

Conjecture: The Antichrist will identify as Jewish as part of his identity. Trump’s Board of Peace will effectively replace the United Nations. Time will tell…

When the bridegroom was delayed, they all became drowsy and fell asleep.

Where and who is Esmail Qaani???

Esmail Qaani (also spelled Ismail Qaani or Esmail Ghaani), the commander of Iran’s IRGC Quds Force since 2020, has an unknown current location as of March 8, 2026. His whereabouts have been shrouded in intense speculation, rumors, and conflicting unverified reports amid the ongoing Iran-Israel conflict and recent escalations (including strikes that killed Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on February 28, 2026).Key points from the latest information:

  • No official confirmation from Iran — Iranian state media and authorities have remained silent on his status, with no recent public appearances, statements, or denials addressing the rumors directly.
  • Rumors of execution or arrest by Iran — Multiple Arab media outlets, social media claims, and fringe reports allege he was detained or executed by the IRGC on suspicion of espionage for Israel (Mossad). This stems from his repeated “survivals” of major strikes that killed other top figures (e.g., near-misses tied to deaths of Nasrallah, Haniyeh, and now Khamenei), fueling paranoia that he leaked information or was suspiciously absent. These claims remain unverified, often labeled as possible disinformation or psychological warfare.
  • Contradictory claims of defection to Israel — Social media posts (including satirical or meme-style ones) and unconfirmed reports assert he is “safe in Israel,” portrayed as a long-term Mossad asset (e.g., “Agent 47”) who helped coordinate strikes. Some even include fabricated images or stories of him receiving awards in Israel. These appear largely as online disinformation, memes, or exaggeration, with no credible evidence from major outlets.
  • Other reports — Some sources describe him as still one of the highest-ranking surviving Iranian military officials, potentially active despite the Quds Force headquarters being destroyed in recent strikes. He has a history of “disappearing” and resurfacing (e.g., declared dead in 2024/2025 reports, then reappearing in Tehran).

In summary, there is no reliable, confirmed information on his exact location right now. The situation is chaotic due to the fog of war, internal Iranian purges, and rampant online rumors (including obvious fakes and satire). He is most likely still in Iran (possibly detained, in hiding, or operating covertly), but nothing definitive exists beyond speculation. If new official statements emerge from Tehran or major outlets, that could clarify things quickly. -Grok

Epic Fury Update, March 3, 2026, Purim

Posted in #PaulthePoke, China, Ezekiel 38-39, Purim, Trend Update with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on March 3, 2026 by paulthepoke

Purim 5950/5786/2026

Esther 9:20-22 Then Mordecai recorded these events, and he sent letters to all the Jews who were in all the provinces of King Ahasuerus, both near and far, obliging them to celebrate the fourteenth day of the month Adar, and the fifteenth day of the same month, annually, because on those days the Jews rid themselves of their enemies, and it was a month which was turned for them from sorrow into gladness and from mourning into a holiday; that they should make them days of feasting and rejoicing and sending portions of food to one another and gifts to the poor.

Time, Time, Time.

Operation Epic Fury was initiated on Saturday, February 28, 2026 on our western Gregorian Calendar.

The attack was initiated during the Islamic Holy month of Ramadan.

Of significant note, Epic Fury was initiated on Purim of the Dead Sea Scroll calendar. For me, the solar Dead Sea Scroll calendar just took on more significance than the traditional lunar Hebrew calendar.

Traditionally, according to the secular, lunar Hebrew calendar, Purim occurred on the evening of Monday, March 2, 2026 through sunset Tuesday, March 3, 2026. And with that, there was a blood red moon lunar eclipse.

Ezekiel 38 Persia or modern day Iran…

Iran remains in the dark. The internet remains jammed and cut off from the people. Iranian air space is closed.

The military has turned on the population.

Ezekiel 38 Magog and Rosh or modern day Russia; Meshech, Tubal, and Beth Togarmah or modern day Turkey…

Job 38:22-23 “Have you entered the storehouses of the snow, or have you seen the storehouses of the hail, which I have reserved for the time of trouble, for the day of battle and war?”

Per the Russian government, Moscow has experienced its heaviest snowfall in 146 years.

Russia’s land mass is almost twice the size of the United States. Russia is about 6.6 million square miles.

Here are the details of the 2026 Kamchatka snowfall:

  • Snow Depths: Accumulations reached 3–5 meters (10–16 feet) in some areas, with drifts in certain locations reaching up to second-floor apartments or, in rare cases, up to 40 feet.
  • Recent Activity (Jan 13–15, 2026): A major storm on Jan 13 recorded 39 millimeters (1.5 inches) of liquid precipitation in less than 24 hours, which translates to a high volume of snow. -Google AI Summary

Chaos in Iran; Russia Strikes Ukraine; Oil in the News; Syria; Congressional Trading

2 Peter 1:19-21 We also have the word of the prophets as confirmed beyond doubt. And you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts. Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture comes from one’s own interpretation. For no such prophecy was ever brought forth by the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.

Ezekiel 38 Persia or modern day Iran…

Iran is descending into chaos. Will the Ayatollah’s Shiite regime be overthrown?

~

Ezekiel 38 Magog, Rosh or modern day Russia…

Russia has launched ballistic missiles on Kyiv and Lviv, Ukraine. Specifically, drones and Oreshnik hypersonic missile.

This Week in Prophecy: Golan Heights; Egyptian Gas Deal; Med Alliance; Silver & Gold

Posted in #PaulthePoke, Ezekiel 38-39, Prophecy, Trend Update with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on December 23, 2025 by paulthepoke

Deuteronomy 4:43b …and Golan in Bashan, for the Manassites.

This is the first mention of the Golan Heights in the Bible. The term “Golan” is mentioned four times in the Old Testament. Concordances are not sure about the meaning of the word. A possible consideration is from the Hebrew meaning “to roll” or “to encircle,” possibly referring to the rounded hills or the way the area is surrounded by mountains.

Golan is also synonymous with the location of Bashan, home of the giant Og.

Numbers 21:33 Then they turned and went up by the way to Bashan. And Og the king of Bashan came out against them, he and all his people, to battle at Edrei.

Ezekiel 38:13 Sheba and Dedan and the merchants of Tarshish and all its leaders will say to you, ‘Have you come to seize spoil? Have you assembled your hosts to carry off plunder, to carry away silver and gold, to take away livestock and goods, to seize great spoil?’

In a video statement alongside Energy Minister Eli Cohen, Netanyahu said that the natural gas deal with Cairo was worth NIS 112 billion ($34.7 billion), of which NIS 58 billion ($18 billion) would go into public coffers. In the first four years, he said, around NIS 500 million ($155 million) would go to the state yearly, and this was expected to climb to NIS 6 billion per year ($1.9 billion) by 2033.

“The agreement is with the American company Chevron, with Israeli partners who will supply gas to Egypt,” Netanyahu said.

Ezekiel 7:19 They cast their silver into the streets, and their gold is like an unclean thing. Their silver and gold are not able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the LORD. They cannot satisfy their hunger or fill their stomachs with it. For it was the stumbling block of their iniquity.

A puppet character with a red hat and a beard, dressed in a blue coat with a pom-pom on top.

Gold and silver are at ALL TIME highs!!!

There are multiple examples in the Bible, riches will not save you. One cannot purchase their way into Heaven or Eternity with God with earthly riches or precious metals. Only one currency counts, the innocent shed blood of Christ.

Friendly reminder from the Bible, one cannot eat silver or gold. At some point, food will be more valuable than silver and gold.

Ultimately, people will choose precious metals over Jesus Christ and His solution for sin.

Zephaniah 1:18 Neither their silver nor their gold will be able to deliver them on the Day of the LORD’s wrath. The whole earth will be consumed by the fire of His jealousy.” For indeed, He will make a sudden end of all who dwell on the earth.

This Week in Prophecy: Trump Middle East Tour

Ezekiel 38:13 Sheba, Dedan, the merchants of Tarshish, and all their young lions will say to you, ‘Have you come to take plunder? Have you gathered your army to take booty, to carry away silver and gold, to take away livestock and goods, to take great plunder?’ ” ’

President Trump made his initial trip abroad since being re elected. He chose to go to the Middle East.

The first stop was ancient Sheba and Dedan or modern day Saudi Arabia. The Saudis committed $600 billion to United States business.

Al Jolani should remember it was Trump who effectively dismantled ISIS during his first administration.

This Week in Prophecy: Israel Independence Day & Fires; Druze in Syria; Russia & N. Korea; Drake Passage Quake; Sovereignty

Posted in #PaulthePoke, Earthquakes/Volcanoes, Ezekiel 38-39, Prophecy, Trend Update with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on May 5, 2025 by paulthepoke

Amos 9:15 I will plant them on their land, and they shall never again be uprooted out of the land that I have given them,” says the LORD your God.

Despite the deadly intentions of their neighbors, Israel is not going anywhere. The Jewish nation is here to stay.

As Israel celebrated Independence Day, Hamas arsonists sprang into action.

The fires were located west of Jerusalem. This was one of the largest fires in the recent history of Israel. Many events were cancelled due to the fires.

Quakes in various places…

A 7.5 quake occurred in the Drake Passage between Antarctica and the southern tip of South America.

Persia… Modern day Iran

Unconfirmed: Trump’s Letter to Iran’s Khamenei

Your Excellency Ayatollah Khamenei,

With respect for your position and the people of Iran, I write this message to you with the aim of opening new horizons for our relations, far from the years of conflict and misunderstandings we have witnessed in past decades. The time has come to abandon enmity and open a new chapter based on mutual cooperation and respect. Today, too, there is a historic opportunity before us.

The United States, under my leadership, is ready to take a major step toward peace and easing tensions. We can work together to lift sanctions, empower the Iranian economy, and open the doors of cooperation between our countries. This is not only in the interest of our peoples, but also in the interest of stability and peace in the Middle East and the entire world.

But I warn you — if you reject this outstretched hand, and if the Iranian regime chooses the path of escalation and continued support for terrorist organizations and military adventures, then our response will be decisive and swift. We will not remain idle in the face of your regime’s threats to our people or our allies.

Peace is not weakness. It is the choice of the strong. The Iranian people are a great people who deserve a better future, far from isolation, poverty, and suffering.

If you are ready to negotiate, we are ready too. But if you persist in ignoring the demands of the world, history will record that you missed a tremendous opportunity.

With respect.

The United States has moved a significant amount of air power to Diego Garcia Air Base in the Indian Ocean.

The list below is a compilation of open source intelligence that has been gathered.

  1. 3 B2 bombers landed at Diego Garcia Air Force Base, joining 4 others that have already been there for 7 years. 7 total B2 Stealth aircraft.
  2. 3 KC135 refueling aircraft that took off from the Guam Air Force Base also landed in Diego Garcia.
  3. 4 B52 bombers completed a quick takeoff exercise in the last 48 hours.
  4. All this power joins hundreds of fighter jets on 3 aircraft carriers making their way into flight range.
