Matthew 5:9 Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God. -Jesus

For the record, I do not have a side in this mess between Russia and Ukraine. I believe this situation was started in part by weak leadership in the West. I am not interested in this conflict escalating and spreading.

Many Americans do not agree to continue to support Ukraine. Millions of Americans are disgusted by our government’s choices. The American people do want innocent people harmed.

Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong Un reached an agreement to defend each other in case of conflict. North Korea is reportedly going to send military arms, equipment, and possibly troops to assist Russia against Ukraine.

Iran is currently holding snap elections to determine who is going to be the next president. Voter turnout is low. Many think the election is rigged in favor of the Ayatollah’s regime. A second round of voting will occur in the election process.

Revelation 6:6 And I heard what seemed to be a voice in the midst of the four living creatures, saying, “A quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius, and do not harm the oil and wine!”

The Bible says there will be hyperinflation at the onset of the tribulation. The winds of economic change are blowing as inflation continues to build around the globe. How will the end of the petrodollar affect the value of the US Dollar?

Amos 9:15 I will firmly plant them in their own land, never again to be uprooted from the land that I have given them,” says the LORD your God.

Genesis 12:3 I will bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you; and all the families of the earth will be blessed through you.

“I made it clear that if they go into Rafah, they haven’t gone in Rafah yet, if they go into Rafah, I’m not supplying the weapons that have been used historically to deal with Rafah, to deal with the cities, that deal with that problem,” President Joe Biden.

https://www.cnn.com/2024/05/08/politics/joe-biden-interview-cnntv/index.html

President Biden has not changed his policy towards Israel. Remember back in 1987 with Biden’s exchange with Israeli Prime Minister Menacham Begin.

“Don’t threaten us with cutting off aid to give up our principles. I’m not a Jew with trembling knees. I am a proud Jew with 3,700 years of civilized history. Nobody came to our aid when we were dying in the gas chambers and ovens. Nobody came to our aid when we were striving to create our country. We paid for it. We fought for it. We died for it. We will stand by our principles. We will defend them. And, when necessary, we will die for them again, with or without your aid.” -Menachem Begin, Israeli Prime Minister

For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, without love of good, traitorous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power.

This Week in Prophecy: Rafah Invasion, Holocaust, Turkey & Trade, Trump & 2 State Solution, Mohammed bin Salman

Ezekiel 7:11 Violence (Hebrew word is Hamas) has grown up into a rod of wickedness. None of them shall remain, nor their abundance, nor their wealth; neither shall there be preeminence among them.

Hamas says they have agreed to a cease fire brokered by Egypt and Qatar. Israel says the terms of the plan were not reached. Israel is moving ahead with their military plans in Rafah.

“In the terrible Holocaust, there were great world leaders who stood by idly; therefore, the first lesson of the Holocaust is: If we do not defend ourselves, nobody will defend us. And if we need to stand alone, we will stand alone,” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

The Bible tells us, ultimately, Israel will be alone and no country will come to their defense.

And there is no comment out of the Biden Administration…

Genesis 12:3 I will bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you; and all the families of the earth will be blessed through you.

Presidential candidate Donald Trump has changed his mind on a two state solution with Israel and a potential Palestinian state.

“There was a time when I thought two states could work. Now I think two states is going to be very, very tough. I think it’s going to be much tougher to get. I also think you have fewer people that liked the idea. You had a lot of people that liked the idea four years ago. Today, you have far fewer people that like that idea. Children grow up and they’re taught to hate Jewish people at a level that nobody thought was possible. And I had a friend, a very good friend, Sheldon Adelson, who felt that it was impossible to make a deal because the level of hatred was so great. And I think it was much more so on one side than the other, but the level of hatred of Jewish people was so great and taught from the time they were in kindergarten and before.” -Donald Trump

The hook in the jaw of Gog is economic bait. Guess who is exporting natural gas to western Europe in the place of Russia’s Gazprom?

Moscow: Kremlin-owned gas giant Gazprom plunged to a net loss of 629 billion rubles ($6.9 billion) in 2023, its first annual loss in more than 20 years, as sales to Europe plummeted in the wake of Russia’s war in Ukraine.

Breaking News… Iran is Under Attack

Posted in #PaulthePoke, Ezekiel 38-39, Persia/Elam/Iran, Prophecy, Trend Update with tags , , , , , on April 18, 2024 by paulthepoke

Jeremiah 49:35-39 This is what the LORD of Hosts says: “Behold, I will shatter Elam’s bow, the mainstay of their might. I will bring the four winds against Elam from the four corners of the heavens, and I will scatter them to all these winds. There will not be a nation to which Elam’s exiles will not go. So I will shatter Elam before their foes, before those who seek their lives. I will bring disaster upon them, even My fierce anger,” declares the LORD. “I will send out the sword after them until I finish them off. I will set My throne in Elam, and destroy its king and officials,” declares the LORD. “Yet in the last days, I will restore Elam from captivity,” declares the LORD.

Ancient Elam is consistent with modern day western Iran. At some point, this area is headed for significant judgment to the point the people of the region will be scattered throughout the world. It appears the assault includes people from multiple parts of the world, hence the four corners of the heavens.

Western Iran is going to have their diaspora. Yet in His grace, these people will be restored to their land.

This is breaking news and a developing story…

This Week in Prophecy: Red Heifers Named; Israeli Army; Turkish Elections; Persia/Iran in Damascus; Taiwan Quake

Numbers 19:1-2 Then the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying, “This is the statute of the law which the Lord has commanded, saying, ‘Speak to the sons of Israel that they bring you an unblemished red heifer in which is no defect and on which a yoke has never been placed.

March 27, 2024: A red heifer conference was held in ancient Shiloh. The red heifers have been named. The red heifers have also been aged at two years old per the article. The names are as follows: Tikva (hope), Geula (redemption), Techiya (life-giving), Nechama (comfort), and Segula (virtue).

In response, Hezbollah joined Hamas by threatening the red heifers.

Ezekiel 7:11 Violence (Hebrew word is Hamas) has grown up into a rod of wickedness. None of them shall remain, nor their abundance, nor their wealth; neither shall there be preeminence among them.

I’ve never known an army to take such measures to attend to the enemy’s civilian population, especially while simultaneously combating the enemy in the very same buildings. In fact, by my analysis, Israel has implemented more precautions to prevent civilian harm than any military in history.

Precautions include the following:

  1. 7 million flyers dropped.
  2. 70,000+ direct phone calls.
  3. 13 million + texts.
  4. 15 million + pre recorded messages.
  5. Notification of areas to leave and where to go.
  6. Drones with speakers.
  7. Notified daily pauses of operations.

This Week in Prophecy: CBS & Red Heifers, Crocus Hall, Putin Re Elected, Sea Security Belt

Posted in #PaulthePoke, Ezekiel 38-39, Prophecy, Trend Update with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on March 24, 2024 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.

Since when does CBS care about the Bible, specifically Numbers 19 and what it has to say about a red heifer? All credit to CBS and Chris Livesay, they actually did a pretty decent job with the coverage and overview of the situation. CBS presented a 5 minute story on CBS Saturday Morning.

CBS also accurately pointed out comments from Hamas and their justification for their actions into Israel on October 7, 2023.

“We look back 100 days to remember the educated, the complicit, and the incapacitated among the world powers governed by the law of the jungle, reminding them of an aggression that reached its peak against our path (Al-Quds) and Al-Aqsa, with the start of its actual temporal and spatial division, and the ‘bringing of red cows’ as an application of a detestable religious myth designed for aggression against the feelings of an entire nation in the heart of its Arab identity, and the path of its prophet (the Night Journey) and Ascension to heaven.” -Abu Obeida, Military Spokesman, Al-Qassam Brigades, Hamas

The CBS article looks at many different perspectives on the issue including a Christian perspective. Granted, not all Christians are going to agree with the position CBS chose to represent on the topic of the red heifer sacrifice and its necessity.

“We’re going to accept the Messiah, and we need the Messiah to come,” Byron Stinson, a Texan who helped bring the cows to Israel, said at the gathering. “For me, the red heifer is red for the blood of Jesus Christ. That’s why it’s red.”

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/israel-war-hamas-red-heifers-from-texas-jerusalem-jewish-temple-al-aqsa

Remember about five years ago in 2019, the Temple Institute practiced the sacrificial burning process for the red heifer.

As best as can be understood, of the five red heifers delivered to Israel from Texas, four appear to remain as possible candidates.

The sacrifice has to happen before the Third Temple can be rebuilt. There has to be a Third Temple for the antichrist to defile. Jesus said and quoted Daniel. The Apostle Paul confirms it.

Keep your eyes on Passover this year. The appointment begins at sun set on Monday, April 22nd, 2024 on our western Gregorian calendar. Speculation is running high there could be a Red Heifer Sacrifice.

2 Peter 3:12 looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be destroyed by burning, and the elements will melt with intense heat!

Ezekiel 38: 21-23 …I will call for a sword against Gog throughout all My mountains,” says the Lord God. “Every man’s sword will be against his brother. And I will bring him to judgment with pestilence and bloodshed; I will rain down on him, on his troops, and on the many peoples who are with him, flooding rain, great hailstones, fire, and brimstone. Thus I will magnify Myself and sanctify Myself, and I will be known in the eyes of many nations. Then they shall know that I am the Lord.” ’

Gog is the leader of ancient Rosh, Magog, Meshech, Tubal, Gomer, and Beth-Togarmah. These ancient places would be modern day Russia and Turkey. Is Vladimir Putin Gog? If he is, time is short.

Zechariah 2:8 For the LORD of armies says this: “After glory He has sent me against the nations that plunder you, for the one who touches you, touches the apple of His eye.

Israel has been on trial at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) at The Hague this past week. Israel has been charged with genocide against the people of the Gaza Strip by South Africa. The ICJ is the highest court of the United Nations.

“The ICJ judges assessed the facts and the law, they ruled in favor of humanity and international law,” Palestinian Foreign Minister Riyad al-Maliki.

The United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNWRA) has a problem. Israel has indicated that members of the UNWRA were involved in the October 7 Hamas massacre of Israeli citizens. An undisclosed number of UNRWA workers have been relieved of their positions.

The United States has temporarily stopped funding to UNWRA. As of today, Finland, Britain, Italy, Australia, and Canada have also stopped monetary support. See the press statement below from the State Department.

January 24, 2024: President Erdogan hosted Iranian President Raisi in Ankara. Both of these leaders supported charges of genocide against Israel. Both Turkey and Iran do not recognize Hamas as a terrorist organization.

“What is happening in Palestine and Gaza is a crime against humanity… and the United States and the West are supporting these crimes. Cutting economic and political ties with this regime can certainly have an impact on the Zionist regime to end its crimes.” -President Ebrahim Raisi, Iran
