2 years ago, Charles Nenner, Paul Lehr, and I spent almost three hours together discussing the current issues and how cycle forecasting and Biblical Prophecy were aligning.
Charles was forecasting escalating conflicts across the Globe, a deep recession, a steep correction in the equity Markets, and a Cycle Completion for the Real Estate Asset class.
We discuss Charles’ long term forecast and touch upon Martin Armstrong’s analysis leading to the same conclusion using different Methodology.
2 years ago, we discussed the coming Inflation, how Gold and Silver would skyrocket, and how Israel would be threatened and help reshape the Middle East.
Paul Lehr and I continue the discussion centering on the Middle East and Israel; how the Biblical Prophecy is active as Gaza, Lebanon, the Golan Heights and Syria, plus how Russia is involved.
We also discuss Biblical Prophecy regarding Inflation, Wages, the “K-Shaped” Economy and how the Real Estate Cycle is unfolding.
Storing Food and Water maybe more important than hoarding Gold and Silver.
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.
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.

Jeremiah 49:24-27 Damascus has become feeble; she has turned to flee. Panic has gripped her; anguish and pain have seized her like a woman in labor. How is the city of praise not forsaken, the town that brings Me joy? For her young men will fall in the streets, and all her warriors will be silenced in that day,” declares the LORD of Hosts.
“I will set fire to the walls of Damascus; it will consume the fortresses of Ben-hadad.”
In the last week, since Assad has left Syria…
In the last 72-Hours, the Israel Defense Force has launched over 400 Strikes on Targets inside of Syria, resulting in the Elimination of 70-80% of the Military Capability of the Former Syrian Arab Armed Forces (SAAF). The Locations struck included Anti-Aircraft Batteries, Syrian Air Force Airfields, Naval Bases, and Dozens of Weapons Production Sites in Damascus, Homs, Tartus, Latakia, and Palmyra; which resulted in the Destruction of Scud Tactical-Ballistic Missiles, Cruise Missiles, Surface-to-Sea, Sea-to-Sea, Surface-to-Air and Surface-to-Surface Missiles, UAVs, Fighter Jets, Attack Helicopters, Ships, Radars, Tanks, Hangars, and more.
The entire Hermon Range is in Israeli hands, both from the (formerly) Syrian side and the (formerly) Lebanese side!
Israeli Defense Minister: The peaks of Mount Hermon in Syria have returned to Israeli control in a moving historical moment. Netanyahu and I visited the Golan Heights and saw the peaks of the Syrian Mount Hermon, which returned to our control after 51 years. I ordered the army to prepare to remain on the summit of Mount Hermon throughout the winter.
The Druze of southern Syria have publicly declared their desire to secede from Syria and be annexed to Israel. Based on topography this is what the annexation would look like. The IDF has already taken over the DMZ in yellow and moved into some of the Druze towns. Thread.
Vanuatu checks in with a 7.3 trembler on the Richter Scale.
On Tuesday, December 17, 2024, a 7.3 magnitude earthquake shook the coast of Vanuatu, an archipelago in the South Pacific, resulting in a tsunami warning, as reported by US seismologists and meteorologists. Vanuatu Police have officially confirmed at least one death associated with this catastrophic event. In addition to the loss of life, the earthquake caused significant damage to the region’s infrastructure. In Porto Vila, the capital, a complex that houses several embassies, including that of the United States, suffered severe structural damage. Preliminary reports highlight that the destruction affected not only commercial and diplomatic buildings, but also residences, with several homes and public infrastructure damaged. The magnitude of the earthquake, combined with its location in a highly seismic area known as the Pacific Ring of Fire, amplifies the impact of this natural disaster on Vanuatu’s life and economy.

Finland and Sweden are discussing NATO membership. Russia’s response is a threat of military and political consequences.
Syria’s President Assad is supportive of Russian intervention in Ukraine. Assad sees this as a “correction of history.”
As a reminder, Ezekiel 38-39, Jeremiah 49, and the Burden of Damascus from Isaiah 17 are looming and appear to be coming into focus with each passing day.
A significant consequence of Russia’s actions will be the inflation of grain prices throughout the Middle East and North Africa. Egypt will bear the brunt with 80% of grain imports coming from Russia and Ukraine.
Revelation 6 instructs there will be hyperinflation at the onset of the tribulation. Wheat is specifically mentioned in verse 6.
Lastly, Kyiv has spiritual significance in Putin’s grand plan for what he sees as Russia. What role does spirituality play in the conflict? Putin states he wants to rebuild Christendom.

Bashan is the modern day Golan Heights. This would be the area in the far north east corner of modern day Israel. This place is south of modern day Damascus, Syria. Geographical land marks would include a region east of the Jordan River and north of the Arnon River. This territory extended from Gilead in the south to Mount Hermon on the north.

President Trump has recognized the Golan Heights as part of Israel.
After 52 years it is time for the United States to fully recognize Israel’s Sovereignty over the Golan Heights, which is of critical strategic and security importance to the State of Israel and Regional Stability!

“I’ve been thinking about doing that for a long time. Every president has said ‘do that’. I’m the one that gets it done.” -President Donald Trump
The United Nation recognizes the Golan Heights as part of Syria. Resolution 242 calls on Israel to leave the Golan. Israel captured the land in 1967. In 1981, Israel stated they annexed the Golan Heights as part of their land. The link below provides a Middle East Eye perspective on the Golan Heights.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu lavished praise on Trump’s decision.

We will not ignore such acts of aggression as Iran attempts to entrench itself militarily in Syria and given explicit statements by Iran that it intends to destroy Israel, as the commander of the Iranian air force has just said. We are acting against Iran and against the Syrian forces that abet the Iranian aggression. Whoever tries to hurt us – we hurt them. Whoever threatens to destroy us will bear the full responsibility.” -Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
