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.

Iran Launches at Israel; Dubai Cloud Seeding

Ezekiel 38:5 Persia…

Israel received air support and assistance from the United States, United Kingdom, France, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia.

The following countries closed their airspace and allowed Israel to respond to the Iranian threat: Jordan, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia. Israel and Iran closed their airspace as well.

Currently, United States foreign policy can be articulated in one word, “Don’t.”

I’ve just spoken with Prime Minister Netanyahu to reaffirm America’s ironclad commitment to the security of Israel.  I told him that Israel demonstrated a remarkable capacity to defend against and defeat even unprecedented attacks – sending a clear message to its foes that they cannot effectively threaten the security of Israel. -President Joe Biden

Israel says they are going on offense and they are going to strike back at a time of their choosing. At this time, Israel is currently conducting Psychological Operations.

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

Posted in #PaulthePoke, Earthquakes/Volcanoes, Ezekiel 38-39, Gaza Strip/Philistia, Persia/Elam/Iran, Prophecy, Trend Update with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on April 3, 2024 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.

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.

https://israel365news.com/388499/red-heifers-get-name

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.

Two days later, President Biden denies the declaration and says he did not do this.

This Week in Prophecy: IDF & Gaza, Passover Re enactment, Israeli Gas, Russia & Donbas Region, Shanghai Port, Supply Chain Shock, Sri Lanka Bankrupt

Posted in #PaulthePoke, Prophecy, Trend Update with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on April 18, 2022 by paulthepoke

This Week in Prophecy, April 18th, 2022:

Israel has launched military operations in the Gaza Strip in response to incoming missiles. This follows conflict on the Temple Mount between the Palestinians and Israeli security.

A Passover sacrifice re enactment was completed near the Western Wall outside of the Temple Mount.

The European Union is looking to rid itself of dependence of Russian energy. Israel looks to fill the void and sell natural gas to Europe.

Later, Russia calls out Israel for UN Security Council and General Assembly violations against the Palestinians.

Russia has launched a major military offensive in the Donbas region of eastern Ukraine.

Shanghai is under a significant lockdown. Supply chains will be disrupted. This will likely lead to further inflation and shortages of goods.

Sri Lanka announces bankruptcy.

Trend Update: Israel/Syria Exchange Fire in Golan Heights, September 2016

Posted in Ezekiel 38-39, Prophecy, Trend Update with tags , , , , , , , on September 13, 2016 by paulthepoke

Joshua 21:27 To the sons of Gershon, one of the families of the Levites, from the half-tribe of Manasseh, they gave Golan in Bashan, the city of refuge for the manslayer, with its pasture lands, and Be-eshterah with its pasture lands; two cities.

The Golan Heights has always been a hot spot of contention for the nation of Israel from their beginning. This was the case during the time of Moses 1,500 years before Christ. Here we are approximately 3,500 years later…

Military activity has picked up during the last month in the Golan Heights.

August 22, 2016: Israel launched air strikes on positions in Syria. This was in response to stray shells from fighting in Syria. A “Syrian army launcher” was destroyed. Nobody was reported as injured.

http://www.presstv.ir/Detail/2016/08/22/481246/israel-golan-syria-airstrike

September 4, 2016: Syria shoots mortars into Israel in the Golan Heights. Israel did not report of any damage. “In response to mortar fire earlier today, the Israel Defense Force (IDF) targeted cannons of the Syrian regime in the northern Syrian Golan Heights,” the military statement read.

https://www.rt.com/news/358251-israel-syria-retaliation-strikes/

September 12, 2016: Syria states they have shot down two (2) Israeli jets near the Golan Heights. The Syrians also claim to have shot down a drone. “Early this morning, two missiles were launched from Syria after the IAF targeted Syrian artillery positions,” a spokesperson said. “IDF aircraft were not harmed.”

September 13, 2016: Syria fires three more mortars into the Golan Heights. Injuries were not reported. This was the sixth incident of fire to take place in the last week. Israel responded by striking Syria positions in their country. Syria has requested the United Nations Security Council to sanction Israel over strikes in its territory.
