Epic Fury Update: Nuclear Facilities; Missiles; Inflation Incoming

Posted in #PaulthePoke, Persia/Elam/Iran, Prophecy, Trend Update with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on March 29, 2026 by paulthepoke

Zechariah 14:12 And this shall be the plague with which the LORD will strike all the peoples that wage war against Jerusalem: their flesh will rot while they are still standing on their feet, their eyes will rot in their sockets, and their tongues will rot in their mouths.

Revelation 9:18 A third of mankind was killed by these three plagues, by the fire, the smoke, and the brimstone which came out of their mouths.

The Dimona Nuclear Facility, officially known as the Shimon Peres Negev Nuclear Research Center (Hebrew: קריה למחקר גרעיני – נגב ע”ש שמעון פרס), is Israel’s primary nuclear installation. It is located in the Negev Desert, approximately 13 kilometers (8 miles) southeast of the city of Dimona, and about 90 kilometers (56 miles) from Jerusalem.

Israel maintains a policy of strategic ambiguity regarding its nuclear capabilities—neither confirming nor denying possession of nuclear weapons. The facility is officially described as a research center for atomic science, but it is widely believed to be central to Israel’s undeclared nuclear weapons program, including plutonium production from its heavy-water reactor.

Construction began in the late 1950s (around 1958–1959) with significant French assistance. The reactor became operational between 1962 and 1964, with an estimated capacity of around 26 megawatts. It is not connected to the civilian power grid and does not produce electricity for public use. The site has been heavily guarded since its inception, with restricted airspace and no public access.

Previously a month ago, Iran indicated their missile capability was limited to 2,000 km. I guess not.

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!”

It would appear inflation is incoming on a global scale.

Australia, New Zealand, southeast Asia reporting fuel outages and emerging.

Japan (up to ~90-93% of oil imports via Hormuz).

South Korea (~68-75% of crude imports).

China (large volumes, ~40-50% of oil imports affected; export bans on refined fuels to protect domestic supply).

Others like Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand (broader Southeast Asia belt-tightening, e.g., 4-day workweeks or work-from-home in some cases).

Tropical Cyclone Narelle is bearing down on Western Australia’s coastline and has sparked major disruptions across three of Australia’s top LNG facilities, including Gorgon, Wheatstone, and North West Shelf (as per Bloomberg): 

  • Woodside Energy Group Ltd.’s North West Shelf export plant in Western Australia had a production interruption due to severe Tropical Cyclone Narelle, according to a company spokesperson.
  • Meanwhile, Chevron Corp. said one of the three production units at its Gorgon plant was shut, as well as a platform that feeds its Wheatstone facility and domestic gas production.
  • Following the closure of the Strait of Hormuz and Iranian strikes damaging the world’s largest liquefaction plant in Qatar, Australia has become the second-largest LNG exporter, with the US in the top spot.

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.

Remembering Charlie Kirk; Hamas Leaderless; Terrorism; Wars & Rumors; Persecution; UAP’s

2 Timothy 3:12 Yes, and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution.

Matthew 24:9 Then they will deliver you over to be persecuted and killed, and you will be hated by all nations because of My name.

Conservative Charlie Kirk, 31, was fatally shot during a debate event at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah, on Wednesday, September 10, 2025. The founder of Turning Point USA, known for his conservative Judeo-Christian views on politics and culture, died from injuries after being struck in the neck by a shooter from an estimated 200 yards away. The incident has ignited widespread outrage, with President Donald Trump and lawmakers from both parties condemning the violence and calling for investigations into campus security and political tensions. -Grok edited

Please consider prayer for Charlie and his family.

Ezekiel 7:11 Violence 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.

Ezekiel 7:23 Forge a chain! For the land is full of bloody crimes and the city is full of violence.

Ezekiel 7:25 When anguish comes, they will seek peace, but there shall be none.

The Hebrew word “hamas“. Per lexicons and dictionaries in the Hebrew, “hamas” means violence. The word is translated as violence, wrong, or malicious in the Bible.

Everyone wants the Hostages HOME. Everyone wants this War to end! The Israelis have accepted my Terms. It is time for Hamas to accept as well. I have warned Hamas about the consequences of not accepting. This is my last warning, there will not be another one! Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Qatar and the international community are condemning Israel and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Israel grows increasingly more isolated in the world. And we wonder how we get to a place where no one will stand up for Israel when Ezekiel 38-39 come calling.

Ezekiel 38:13 Sheba and Dedan and the merchants of Tarshish with all its villages will ask, ‘Have you come to capture the plunder? Have you assembled your hordes to carry away loot, to make off with silver and gold, to take cattle and goods, to seize great spoil?’

The Bible has answers. ALL things were created by and for Him (Jesus). And because of His work on the cross and His resurrection, ALL things in the universe are under His subjection.

Colossians 1:16 For in Him all things were created, things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities. All things were created through Him and for Him.

Colossians 1:20 and through Him to reconcile to Himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through the blood of His cross.

Matthew 22:37-40 And He said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets.” -Jesus

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.

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

Israel & Iran, Just Getting Started; Rainbows

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.”

Red Heifer Update: No Candidates at This Time… Attitudes Are Changing

Posted in #PaulthePoke, Temple, Trend Update with tags , , , , , , , , on March 9, 2025 by paulthepoke

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.

“At this moment, we don’t have in our possession in Israel a red heifer that is verifiably kosher and suited for the ceremony. About two years ago, five excellent red calves were brought to Israel. They had been checked and certified in America as perfectly red but several months after they arrived, they began to grow white hairs. There is an ongoing discussion in the Temple Institute regarding their suitability about whether the proximity of the hairs to each other disqualifies the cows or not.”

“The question now is how to proceed. There are several essential questions that must be addressed regarding the cows themselves and other issues surrounding the issue of the Temple and the Temple service. We are speaking with a wide range of rabbis and professionals about these issues we haven’t dealt with in over 2,000 years.” -Rabbi Azariah Ariel

“The American Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, went to the Temple Mount and stated that it is time for us to move forward and build the Temple. This interest is seen on the internet on sites like Wikipedia where there are spikes in views on the articles about the red heifer. This is on articles in English and even Arabic, as well as other languages. But there is not such an interest in red heifer articles in Hebrew.”

“At the Western Wall, where the Temple was built, and the roots of the Jewish people were established.” -IDF Chief of Staff, Lieutenant General, Eyal Zamir

Leviticus 23:33-36 Again the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, “Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, ‘On the fifteenth of this seventh month is the Feast of Booths for seven days to the LORD. On the first day is a holy convocation; you shall do no laborious work of any kind. For seven days you shall present an offering by fire to the LORD. On the eighth day you shall have a holy convocation and present an offering by fire to the LORD; it is an assembly. You shall do no laborious work.’”

Sukkot is coming to an end this week at sunset on Wednesday, October 23, 2024. This holiday is known by many names. It is called the Feast of Tabernacles, Sukkot, the Feast of Booths, the Festival of Tents, or the Feast of the Harvest because it is after the harvest in the fall. Simply put, it is also called “the feast” or “the festival”.

It has been a busy week around the globe during the Feast of Tabernacles. Here’s what is happening.

“Hamas” is the Hebrew word for “violence”.

The context of Ezekiel 7 is judgment on the land of Israel. Judgment is being rendered against violence or “hamas“.

Ezekiel 7:11 Violence 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.

Ezekiel 7:23 Forge a chain! For the land is full of bloody crimes and the city is full of violence.

Ezekiel 7:25 When anguish comes, they will seek peace, but there shall be none.

Hamas Leader Yahya Sinwar has been martyred. Elements of Hamas are beginning to surrender in Gaza.
