This Week in Prophecy: Seeds of Inflation; Iran Drought; Ethiopian Volcano; AI Gospel Music

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 four horses of the Apocalypse will ride. Hyperinflation is a condition at the onset of the seven year tribulation.

When Revelation was written by John in 94-96 AD, a denarius was a day’s wage for a working laborer. A quart of wheat would feed an individual or three quarts of barley would feed a family. Roughly a quart of grain was required to make a loaf of bread.

Likewise, luxury items like oil and wine are unharmed at this time. It would appear there is a gap between the “haves” and “have nots”.

Fast forward almost 2,000 years… Today, we are living the K Shaped Economy. This is the result of post COVID monetary policy.

The upper arm of the K (going upward): Represents sectors, industries, companies, or socioeconomic groups that recover quickly, thrive, or even accelerate post-crisis (e.g., technology giants, high-income professionals, asset owners, big corporations).

The lower arm of the K (going downward): Represents sectors, industries, small businesses, or socioeconomic groups that continue to decline, stagnate, or suffer long-term damage (e.g., hospitality, retail, travel, low-wage workers, small businesses).

A K-Shaped Economy is one where the rich and powerful get richer, certain high-tech/high-skill sectors soar, and everyone else continues to struggle—creating a stark, two-tier recovery. -Grok

For those new to the blog, we are of the opinion the tribulation has yet to begin. For example, there has been no red heifer sacrifice so there cannot be a 3rd Temple built. There is no 3rd Temple for the antichrist to defile. There is not a 10 member nation or ruling committee for the antichrist to subdue 3 members and take control. There are not 2 witnesses pronouncing judgment from Jerusalem.

But the stage is being set. Are we watching the seeds of Biblical prophetic hyperinflation being sewn?

The US dollar has been increasingly devalued since the link to gold was destroyed in 1971 by President Nixon. Some argue this began in the early 20th century with the creation of the Federal Reserve.

  • The US dollar has lost over 96% of its value since 1913, when the Federal Reserve took over the dollar.
  • The Fed devalues the dollar by printing more dollars without creating any value.
  • Nixon ended the gold standard in 1971, skyrocketing inflation.

12 Days and Done, Nuclear Program “Obliterated”

Posted in #PaulthePoke, Persia/Elam/Iran, Prophecy, Trend Update with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , on June 29, 2025 by paulthepoke

Isaiah 54:17 …no weapon that is fashioned against you shall succeed, and you shall refute every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD and their vindication from me, declares the LORD.

Israeli analysis…

IDF Summarizes War Against Iran – Operation “Rising Lion”: “The Most Complex Operation in IDF History”

The IDF states that the operation fully achieved its objectives, yielding the following results:

  1. Iran’s Nuclear Program Significantly Damaged: Iran currently lacks the capability to enrich uranium to 90%, which has been neutralized for an extended period. The regime’s ability to produce the core of a nuclear weapon was eliminated. Thousands of centrifuges were destroyed, exceeding the original plan.
  2. Iran’s Missile Production Capabilities Severely Impaired: Iran will be unable to produce thousands of missiles as planned in the coming years, with its missile production capacity currently neutralized. A significant reduction in missile production is expected, and rebuilding capabilities will require a lengthy process. Approximately 200 missile launchers, about 50% of Iran’s arsenal, were destroyed.
  3. IDF Achieved Air Superiority Over Iran: 80% of Iran’s air defense systems in the operational areas were destroyed, equating to roughly 80 out of 100 air defense batteries. Additionally, about 70 Iranian radars were destroyed. In the opening strike, 60% of Iran’s strategic air defense batteries were eliminated, a key enabler for the operation’s continuation.

Additional Data:

  • Interception Rates: 86% of Iranian ballistic missiles and 99% of drones were intercepted by air defense systems.
  • Air Force Operations: The Israeli Air Force conducted over 1,500 sorties, striking more than 900 targets across Iran.
  • Tehran Strikes: In the final 24 hours of the operation, widespread attacks on Revolutionary Guard Corps headquarters in Tehran resulted in an estimated 200–300 Revolutionary Guards and Basij fighters killed.
  • Limited Involvement of Pro-Iranian Militias: Shiite militias in Iraq participated minimally, launching about 40 drones toward Israel. The Iranian axis did not fully engage—Hezbollah did not fire at all, and Houthi attacks were limited to 2–3 missiles.
  • Disruption of Iranian Missile Launches: The IDF estimates Iran launched only 60% of the planned missile barrages, meaning 40% of the missiles intended for Israel were not fired.
  • Damage to Israeli Home Front: 2,305 apartments in 240 buildings were damaged, leaving 13,197 Israelis homeless.

The IDF concludes that while the Iranian threat persists and Iran will not disappear, Israel is now entering a phase of force buildup, prepared for future confrontations. The IDF is ready to approach the next round of conflict with Iran better equipped and more prepared.

Trump Response to the Ayatollah…

Why would the so-called “Supreme Leader,” Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, of the war torn Country of Iran, say so blatantly and foolishly that he won the War with Israel, when he knows his statement is a lie, it is not so. As a man of great faith, he is not supposed to lie. His Country was decimated, his three evil Nuclear Sites were OBLITERATED, and I knew EXACTLY where he was sheltered, and would not let Israel, or the U.S. Armed Forces, by far the Greatest and Most Powerful in the World, terminate his life. I SAVED HIM FROM A VERY UGLY AND IGNOMINIOUS DEATH, and he does not have to say, “THANK YOU, PRESIDENT TRUMP!” In fact, in the final act of the War, I demanded that Israel bring back a very large group of planes, which were heading directly to Tehran, looking for a big day, perhaps the final knockout! Tremendous damage would have ensued, and many Iranians would have been killed. It was going to be the biggest attack of the War, by far. During the last few days, I was working on the possible removal of sanctions, and other things, which would have given a much better chance to Iran at a full, fast, and complete recovery – The sanctions are BITING! But no, instead I get hit with a statement of anger, hatred, and disgust, and immediately dropped all work on sanction relief, and more. Iran has to get back into the World Order flow, or things will only get worse for them. They are always so angry, hostile, and unhappy, and look at what it has gotten them – A burned out, blown up Country, with no future, a decimated Military, a horrible Economy, and DEATH all around them. They have no hope, and it will only get worse! I wish the leadership of Iran would realize that you often get more with HONEY than you do with VINEGAR. PEACE!!!

Israel & Iran, Just Getting Started; Rainbows

Posted in #PaulthePoke, Persia/Elam/Iran, Prophecy, Trend Update with tags , , , , , , , , , , on June 15, 2025 by paulthepoke

Jeremiah 49:34-39 This is the word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning Elam at the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah. 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 modern day western Iran along the Persian Gulf.

Revelation 9:16 And the number of mounted troops was two hundred million; I heard their number.

Kharg Island, Persian Gulf

Kharg Island is a linchpin of Iran’s oil-driven economy, a strategic outpost in the Persian Gulf. Its role as an oil hub makes it both a national asset and a geopolitical flashpoint. Its infrastructure’s vulnerability to conflict and environmental strain remains a critical concern.

Kharg Island is Iran’s primary oil export hub, handling over 90% of the country’s crude oil exports. Determining exactly who buys Iran’s oil is tricky due to sanctions and opaque trade practices, but available data points to a clear picture.

Primary Buyer: China
China is by far the largest importer, purchasing around 90% of Iran’s crude oil and condensate exports, averaging 1.4–1.8 million barrels per day (bpd) in 2023 and 2024. Most of this oil is rebranded as Malaysian or Middle Eastern to evade U.S. sanctions, with ship-to-ship transfers off Malaysia and Singapore. Chinese “teapot” refineries—small, independent refiners—buy the bulk of this discounted oil, with imports hitting a record 1.8 million bpd in March 2025.

Genesis 9:8-17 Then God said to Noah and his sons with him, “Behold, I now establish My covenant with you and your descendants after you, and with every living creature that was with you—the birds, the livestock, and every beast of the earth—every living thing that came out of the ark. And I establish My covenant with you: Never again will all life be cut off by the waters of a flood; never again will there be a flood to destroy the earth.” And God said, “This is the sign of the covenant I am making between Me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all generations to come: I have set My rainbow in the clouds, and it will be a sign of the covenant between Me and the earth. Whenever I form clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will remember My covenant between Me and you and every living creature of every kind. Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life. And whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of every kind that is on the earth.” So God said to Noah, “This is the sign of the covenant that I have established between Me and every creature on the earth.”

This Week in Prophecy: Iranian Port Explosion; India & Pakistan; Pope Francis

Daniel 10:13-14 The prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me twenty-one days, but Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, for I was left there with the kings of Persia, and came to make you understand what is to happen to your people in the latter days. For the vision is for days yet to come.”

As discussions and negotiations between Iran and the United States have completed three rounds…

Shahid Rajaee Port is the largest seaport in Iran. The port is responsible for 85 percent of the total loading and unloading carried out at the Iranian ports.

Officials have evacuated the port. Shahid Rajaee is useless at this time. This will likely be a significant blow to the Iranian economy.

Iranian journalist Mohamad Ahwaze, “Aerial footage shows explosions at three separate locations in the port of Bandar Abbas, refuting claims of a single blast.”

Yom Teruah/Rosh Hashanah/Feast of Trumpets; Middle East on Fire; 5785/5949/2024

Posted in #PaulthePoke, Fall Feasts, Persia/Elam/Iran, Prophecy, Trend Update with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on October 1, 2024 by paulthepoke

Leviticus 23:23-25 Again the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, “Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, ‘In the seventh month on the first of the month you shall have a rest, a reminder by blowing of trumpets, a holy convocation. You shall not do any laborious work, but you shall present an offering by fire to the Lord.’”

Numbers 29:1 ‘Now in the seventh month, on the first day of the month, you shall also have a holy convocation; you shall do no laborious work. It will be to you a day for blowing trumpets.

This holiday has many names. It is called the Feast of Trumpets by Christians. It is recognized as the Jewish New Year, Rosh Hashanah. In Judaism, it is called Yom Teruah which means the “Day of Blowing”.

The directions for the holiday are straight forward.

  1. It is to be a day of rest or a Sabbath.
  2. The day is a holy or separate day. It is a convocation. The Hebrew word for convocation is miqra’. Per Strong’s Concordance it means: rehearsal, convocation, a reading, a calling together, or sacred assembly.
  3. It is a memorial and reminder to blow or shout. The Hebrew word is teruah. It means: alarm, signal, a sound of tempest, shout of joy, blast of war, alarm, joy, war-cry, or battle-cry.

In the Hebrew civil New Year of 5785 or the Essene year of 5949, Israel is at war on three fronts. Is war about to break out on a fourth front?

All of the military activity Israel is engaged with are supported by Iran. Below are Iranian proxies.

Daniel 10:13-14 However, the prince of the kingdom of Persia opposed me for twenty-one days. Then Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, for I had been left there with the kings of Persia. Now I have come to explain to you what will happen to your people in the latter days, for the vision concerns those days.”

September 27th is the most important day in the Middle East since the Abraham Accords breakthrough. I have spent countless hours studying Hezbollah and there is not an expert on earth who thought that what Israel has done to decapitate and degrade them was possible. This is significant because Iran is now fully exposed. The reason why their nuclear facilities have not been destroyed, despite weak air defense systems, is because Hezbollah has been a loaded gun pointed at Israel. Iran spent the last forty years building this capability as its deterrent. President Trump would often say, “Iran has never won a war but never lost a negotiation.” The Islamic Republic’s regime is much tougher when risking Hamas, Hezbollah, Syrian and Houthi lives than when risking their own. Their foolish efforts to assassinate President Trump and hack his campaign reek of desperation and are hardening a large coalition against them. Iranian leadership is stuck in the old Middle East, while their neighbors in the GCC are sprinting toward the future by investing in their populations and infrastructure. They are becoming dynamic magnets for talent and investment while Iran falls further behind. As the Iranian proxies and threats dissipate, regional security and prosperity will rise for Christians, Muslims and Jews alike. Israel now finds itself with the threat from Gaza mostly neutralized and the opportunity to neutralize Hezbollah in the north. It’s unfortunate how we got here but maybe there can be a silver lining in the end. Anyone who has been calling for a ceasefire in the North is wrong. There is no going back for Israel. They cannot afford now to not finish the job and completely dismantle the arsenal that has been aimed at them. They will never get another chance. After the brilliant, rapid-fire tactical successes of the pagers, radios, and targeting of leadership, Hezbollah’s massive weapon cache is unguarded and unmanned. Most of Hezbollah fighters are hiding in their tunnels. Anyone still around was not important enough to carry a pager or be invited to a leadership meeting. Iran is reeling, as well, insecure and unsure how deeply its own intelligence has been penetrated. Failing to take full advantage of this opportunity to neutralize the threat is irresponsible. I have been hearing some amazing stories about how Israel has been collecting intelligence over the past 10 months with some brilliant technology and crowdsourcing initiatives. But today, with the confirmed killing of Nasrallah and at least 16 top commanders eliminated in just nine days, was the first day I started thinking about a Middle East without Iran’s fully loaded arsenal aimed at Israel. So many more positive outcomes are possible. This is a moment to stand behind the peace-seeking nation of Israel and the large portion of the Lebanese who have been plagued by Hezbollah and who want to return to the times when their country was thriving, and Beirut a cosmopolitan city. The main issue between Lebanon and Israel is Iran; otherwise there is a lot of benefit for the people of both countries from working together. The right move now for America would be to tell Israel to finish the job. It’s long overdue. And it’s not only Israel’s fight. More than 40 years ago, Hezbollah killed 241 US military personnel, including 220 Marines. That remains the single deadliest day for the U.S. Marine Corps since the Battle of Iwo Jima. Later that same day, Hezbollah killed 58 French paratroopers. And now, over the past six weeks or so, Israel has eliminated as many terrorists on the US list of wanted terrorists as the US has done in the last 20 years. Including Ibrahim Aqil, the leader of Hezbollah’s Islamic Jihad Organization who masterminded the 1983 killing of those Marines. -Jared Kushner

Israel & Iran on Collision Course

For the vision is for days yet to come.”

The context of the verses from Daniel is the “latter days”. We know the angel Michael will come to defend Israel against the dragon or Satan in the latter days from Revelation 12. It is reasonable to think the Prince of Persia is still around as well.

This information communicated to Daniel is clearly worth fighting over. The Persian prince or angel is committed to the death and destruction of Israel. The happenings on earth are the result of Heavenly warfare. Thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven…

As the time of the end draws closer, we can expect more attempted deadly activity from Iran towards Israel.

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.
