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.

The genetic breeding program for a red heifer is showing some promise.

The latest red heifer calf was born on Elul 1, the beginning of Teshuvah.

A calf was born in a dairy barn in the Jordan Valley last week, and on Rosh Chodesh Elul, a delegation of rabbis stood over her, running their hands through her coat. She was the third heifer of her kind to be born in Israel this season, joining two others already under watch in the Galilee and the Golan Heights. Together, the three calves represent the most concrete progress yet toward a goal Jewish tradition has pursued since the destruction of the Second Temple: raising a red heifer whose ashes can restore ritual purity to the Jewish people.

The article summarizes the three locations of each red heifer and the current status of each heifer.

The Jordan Valley: A Calf Born Without a Single Flaw

“There is still a long road ahead of us. Nevertheless, as we approach the year 5787, we can announce that the people of Israel are indeed moving toward raising a herd of red heifers and advancing the process of restoring ritual purity to Israel after 2,000 years of exile. With God’s help, in the near future we hope to announce where the heifers will be displayed and raised until they grow from calves into two-year-old cows.” Rabbi Azaria Ariel

First of all, as many Christians are acutely aware, animal sacrifices for sin are no longer required. However, these things are still prophesied. And, the antichrist needs a Temple to defile.

Hebrews 13:11-12 For the bodies of those animals, whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest for sin, are burned outside the camp. Therefore Jesus also, that He might sanctify the people with His own blood, suffered outside the gate. 

See also Hebrews 10.

To be clear, the red heifer is the symbol or type. Jesus Christ is the real deal, the fulfillment.

A red heifer will be sacrificed before the third temple will be built. This story line is a piece of the puzzle.

Quakes in various places… -Jesus

A magnitude 7.7 earthquake struck off the northern coast of Flores Island (East Nusa Tenggara province, eastern Indonesia) on August 15, 2026 (local time; ~21:58 UTC on August 14). earthquake.usgs.gov

Casualties: Reports as of later on August 15 put the death toll at least 38–47 (mostly in East Manggarai, Manggarai, and Sikka districts), with dozens injured (at least 2 seriously and 11 mildly in some tallies; higher figures of ~50 hospitalized in others). The toll was expected to rise as search efforts continued, with some people trapped and access issues in areas like Nagekeo due to landslides and disrupted communications. efe.com

Damage and disruption: Buildings and homes collapsed; dozens to hundreds of structures (homes, schools, health facilities, government offices, places of worship) were damaged. Landslides blocked roads (including parts of the Trans-Flores highway). Power outages and communication problems occurred. Around 2,000 people evacuated. Komodo Airport was affected but remained operational. pbs.org

Tsunami: A warning was issued and later lifted (within ~3 hours). Minor waves were recorded (up to ~0.94 m / ~3 ft at some sites like Maurole-Ende; under 1 m in most places), with limited coastal impact reported. watchers.news

A 6.9 quake occurred on August 15, 2026 in Indonesia on the island of Sumatera.

2 Timothy 4:3-4 For the time will come when men will not tolerate sound doctrine, but with itching ears they will gather around themselves teachers to suit their own desires. So they will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.

People are having an internal issue. They have been confronted with the truth of Scripture and they don’t like it. So, they seek something that aligns with their personal beliefs. The individual has an itch. They seek someone who will tickle the itch. (Compliments and credit to my wife.)

This is classic confirmation bias. Facts be damned.

John 14:6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

Exodus 20:3 You shall have no other gods before Me.

Exodus 20:13-17 You shall not murder.

Allah says… kill the infidel.

You shall not commit adultery.

Allah… ravish and molest the infidel.

You shall not steal.

Allah… pillage the infidel.

You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.

Allah… lie to and deceive the infidel.

You shall not covet your neighbor’s house. You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or his manservant or maidservant, or his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.”

This Week in Prophecy: Into South Gaza, More Red Sea Piracy, Quakes & Pestilence, Snow, Antisemitism

Posted in #PaulthePoke, Earthquakes/Volcanoes, Gaza Strip/Philistia, Pestilence, Prophecy, Trend Update with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on December 6, 2023 by paulthepoke

1 Samuel 17:4 And there came out from the camp of the Philistines a champion named Goliath of Gath, whose height was six cubits and a span.

For those who are not familiar, Goliath is an ancient Philistine. He was roughly 9 feet tall and a few inches.

The modern day Gaza Strip is located in the ancient land of the Philistines. Ancient Gath appears to be close to what is modern day Kiryat Gat, Israel.

And to this day, this geography remains an area of conflict.

A gold coin with the depiction of Jesus as the “Good Shepherd” was found off the coast of Caesarea from ancient ship wreck. Hundreds of coins and artifacts were discovered as well.

Is Indonesia on the verge of joining the Abraham Accords???

Iran produces hype video demonstrating the destruction of the Israeli nuclear facility in Dimona. This was part of the Great Prophet 17 Iranian war games. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps executed the coordinated launches. Military exercises were completed at sea as well… Two days later, Israel allegedly fired missiles at Iranian targets in Latakia Port in Syria.

Natural gas and electricity prices in Europe are at all time highs. Russia has effectively turned off the gas to Europe. Russian President Putin feels back into a corner with no where to retreat. His posture and tone are changing. Winter is setting in and cold weather is here.

Blood Red Rivers: Malawi, Africa; Jayapura, Indonesia, January 2019

Posted in Blood Red Water/Aquatic Death, Prophecy, Trend Update with tags , , , , , , , on January 4, 2019 by paulthepoke

Revelation 16:4 Then the third angel poured out his bowl into the rivers and the springs of waters; and they became blood.

The Revelation 16 verse is late in the order of the seven year Tribulation. The scope and scale are all of the rivers and springs on Earth. For those who are new to the website, it is our position…that we are not in the tribulation.

As of January 2019, there is no Jewish Temple in Jerusalem, no “peace covenant” with Israel, no 10 nation federation, no two witnesses, and no antichrist. Let’s get that out of the way.

January 2019: The locations of the “bloody” happenings are Malawi, Africa and Jayapura, Indonesia.

Linthipe River, Dedza, Africa: The local river is the source of many activities including laundry and water for the household.

A village woman reported the following, “As usual, we came to this place to wash our clothes besides drawing water for home use. But to our surprise we saw that blood like stuff was flowing in the river. This scared us and we called some people to witness the bizarre circumstances.”

Group Village Head (GVH) Nthandizi indicated the following, “A lot of conflicting information has emerged, with some saying it could be red oxide while others say it is blood and others say this has to do with science.”

It appears a local mine released red oxide into the river…

Jayapura, Papua Province of Indonesia: The local river is located on the island of New Guinea. Local news coverage was not available. Here is a link to the video provided by a resident in the city.

At some point in the future, the scope and scale will be planet earth.

December 24, 2018: Mount Etna in Italy has erupted. This is Italy’s largest volcano. Mt. Etna is located on the island of Sicily. This is west of the toe in the boot of Italy. According to experts, the eruption occurred from a new fracture. Approximately 130 quakes less than 4.0 on the Richter Scale have been reported. Air space in the region has been closed because of extensive ash.

“The eruption occurred on the side of Mt. Etna. It’s the first lateral eruption in more than 10 years, but it doesn’t seem to be dangerous.” -Boris Behncke, Volcanologist, Italy’s National Institute for Geophysics and Vulcanology

Isaiah 51:15 I am the LORD your God, who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar— the LORD of hosts is his name.

December 23, 2018: Anak Krakatoa has erupted and is likely the cause of a deadly tsunami. The volcano is located in the Sunda Strait between the Indonesian islands of Java and Sumatra. The number of dead is approaching 400 at the time of this post. Hundreds of others have been injured and missing. Landslides from the eruption are the likely cause of the tsunami. Fears of further eruptions and tsunamis are indicated.

Trend Update: Tremors in Super Volcanoes, August 2017

Posted in Earthquakes/Volcanoes, Prophecy, Trend Update with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on August 22, 2017 by paulthepoke

Luke 21:11a There will be great earthquakes…

While America was watching the solar eclipse…there were a couple of earthquakes of note. The issue was not the size of the quakes but the location. An earthquake was reported in Yellowstone National Park during the eclipse. Also in Europe, a quake was noted near Naples, Italy on the island of Ischia. Both of these earthquakes took place in relation to super volcanoes.

The vacation island of Ischia is located west of the Naples metro area. Ischia Island is located in the Campi Flegrei super volcano complex. This is the same region that is home to Mount Vesuvius near Pompeii. This is one of the most densely populated areas in the world.

The quake has been revised to 4.2 on the Richter Scale at a depth of 10 km (approximately 6 miles). Up to 14 aftershocks have been reported. Damage to buildings and homes has been significant. At least 2 lives were lost. Injuries continue to mount.

yellowstoneYellowstone National Park: A 3.2 magnitude quake was indicated on the western edge of the park per the USGS. Quakes in the Yellowstone area have been increasing in frequency and intensity over the past few months. With all the activity in the park, the ground is reported to have risen by 3 inches in various area.

NASA is reported to have plans on the books to stop a Yellowstone volcano eruption.

The following is an excerpt from The Sun. One of the “risky” plans includes drilling to the bottom of the the volcano and using high pressure water to release heat from the magma chamber.

Editorial comment by this author…bad idea. This concept is not working with injection wells at fracking sites in the oil fields. The end result has been earthquakes where quakes had not previously occurred. See Oklahoma.

Of note, all stories related to this event in Yellowstone were noted in foreign news sources from England and Israel.

Long Valley CAThese two super volcanoes are not the only active areas. The Long Valley Caldera in California is awake. Seismic activity is reported at negative levels per the USGS. Measurements taken are relative to sea level. The majority of quake activity is reported to occur below sea level. Many shallow quakes occur at depth down to 7 miles or less below the surface. That would mean the activity taking place in California is occurring in the mountains of the volcano. As in Yellowstone, the geography of the area is reported to be raised up to 6 inches.

 

Lake Toba and Krakatoa in Indonesia remain active with consistent seismic activity. Super volcanoes are actively rumbling in Europe, North America, and southeast Asia.

Micah 1:4 And the mountains will melt under him, and the valleys will split open, like wax before the fire, like waters poured down a steep place.

Trend Update: Blood Red Bah Bolon River, Indonesia, August 2017

Posted in Blood Red Water/Aquatic Death, Prophecy, Trend Update with tags , , , , on August 10, 2017 by paulthepoke

Revelation 16:4 Then the third angel poured out his bowl into the rivers and the springs of waters; and they became blood.

This verse is late in the order of the seven year Tribulation. The scope and scale are all of the rivers and springs on Earth. As of August 2017, we are not in the Tribulation. There is no Jewish Temple in Jerusalem, no peace treaty, no 10 nation federation, no two witnesses, and no antichrist. Let’s get that out of the way.

August 7, 2017: At this time, let’s welcome Indonesia to the blood red river club. It has been since about six months since we have last reported on a blood red body of water.

The location of the Bah Bolon River is Pematang Siantar City, Indonesia which is located in North Sumatra. Locals woke up to discover the river running through their city had turned blood red. Thousands of fish are dead. The cause of the river turning red is unknown at this time. Pollution is suspected.

The event in Indonesia is not the fulfillment of Revelation 16:4.

And we continue to trend…
