This Week in Prophecy: Epstein Doc Dump; China Coup?; City of David

Posted in #PaulthePoke, China, Culture, Prophecy, Trend Update with tags , , , , , , , , on February 2, 2026 by paulthepoke

Luke 8:17 For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be made known and brought to light.

The Department Of Justice has released 3 million pages, 180k images, and 2k videos from the Epstein files.

Epstein files are now publicly viewable across multiple official archives:

DOJ court records ↳ http://justice.gov/epstein/court-records

Photo archive ↳http://http://dropbox.com/scl/fo/cl62lochkdzdalbzzqgq8/ADJIDEfLD1oQZrKmNeae2So?dl=0

https://t.co/KupAlRdfVK

FBI vault records ↳ http://vault.fbi.gov/jeffrey-epstein/Jeffrey%20Epstein%20Part%2001/view

Honestly, never thought I would see this happen. Likewise, I doubt any one of Epstein’s associates will be prosecuted in a court of law.

The verse below describes the allegations and concerns with Epstein and associates.

Mark 7:21-23 For from within the hearts of men come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, greed, wickedness, deceit, debauchery, envy, slander, arrogance, and foolishness. All these evils come from within, and these are what defile a man.” -Jesus

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

They are also known as the “Kings from the East” in Revelation 16:12.

What is going on in China???

Recent developments center on a major military purge announced in late January 2026, involving the investigation and removal of top generals, most notably:

  • Gen. Zhang Youxia (vice chairman of the CMC and long-time close ally of Xi, with personal and family ties dating back decades).
  • Gen. Liu Zhenli (CMC member and chief of the Joint Staff Department).

Genesis 6:11-13 Now the earth was corrupt in God’s sight, and the earth was filled with violence. And God saw the earth, and behold, it was corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted their way on the earth. And God said to Noah, “I have determined to make an end of all flesh, for the earth is filled with violence through them. Behold, I will destroy them with the earth.

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

Today, our world is filled with violence.

Prior to His return, Jesus said in Matthew 24:37 For as were the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.

This Week in Prophecy: China & Trump Tariffs; DNA Manipulation

Posted in #PaulthePoke, China, Culture, Prophecy, Trend Update with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , on April 12, 2025 by paulthepoke

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

There are two countries who could mount this size of an army, India or China. Who knows this could be multinational force? They are also known as the “Kings from the East” in Revelation 16:12.

China is being backed into a financial corner. What do countries do when their economy is tanking??? Historically, military response…

President Trump announced tariffs to the globe on April 2, 2025.

And with the announcement of tariffs… Hang Seng China stock index crashes 9.1%.

April 7: China says it will not bow down to President Trump’s tariff threats.

April 8: President Trump raised tariffs on China to 104%. The White House said this would be effective at midnight.

April 9: U.S. Treasury Secretary Bessent declined to rule out the possibility of delisting Chinese stocks from U.S. stock exchanges. This represents $1.1 trillion.

April 10: Trump increases tariffs again on China to 145%.

April 11: China raises tariffs against the U.S. from 84% to 125% effective tomorrow.

April 12: US President Trump exempts smartphones, computers, and chips from new tariffs, including those imported from China.

Lot’s of volatility in global markets…

Isaiah 49:12 Look, they come from far away! Look, some come from the north and west, and others from the land of Sinim!

Genesis 10:16-18 the Jebusites, Amorites, Girgashites, Hivites, Arkites, Sinites, Arvadites, Zemarites, and Hamathites. Eventually the families of the Canaanites were scattered.

The following is from the Genesis Record, Henry Morris.

The Biblical mention of a people in the Far East named “Sinim” (Isaiah 49:12), together with references in ancient secular histories to people in the Far East called “Sinae,” at least suggests the possibility that some of Sin’s descendants migrated eastward, while others went south into the land of Canaan. It is significant that the Chinese people have always been identified by the prefix “Sino-” (e.g., Sino-Japanese War; Sinology, the study of Chinese history). The name “Sin” is frequently encountered in Chinese names in the form “Siang” or its equivalent.

The evidence is tenuous but, of all the names in the Table of Nations, it does seem that two sons of Canaan, Heth (Hittites = Khittae = Cathay) and Sin (Sinites = Sinim = China), are the most likely to have become ancestors of the Oriental peoples. Since it seems reasonable that divine inspiration would include in such a table information concerning the ancestry of all the major streams of human development, it is reasonable to conclude that the Mongoloid peoples (and therefore also the American Indians) have come mostly from the Hamitic line.

Genesis 6:4 The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of man and they bore children to them. These were the mighty men who were of old, the men of renown.

It is thought and believed in some circles, this event is the original genetic manipulation. Writings from the ancient books of Enoch and Jasher confirm angels and humanity mixing DNA. The result was a genetic hybrid, the Nephilim.

Our team took DNA from a 13,000 year old tooth and a 72,000 year old skull and made healthy dire wolf puppies,” Colossal Biosciences, CEO Ben Lamm

The wolves, thought to have been extinct for over 12,500 years, were as much as 25% larger than gray wolves and had a slightly wider head, light thick fur and stronger jaw.

https://www.axios.com/local/austin/2025/04/07/colossal-biosciences-dire-wolf-extinct-austin

Recently in an interview with Joe Rogan, Lamm would further elaborate about the Chinese effort to genetically manipulate and modify human DNA.

He (Lamm) claimed BGI (Beijing Genomics Institute) has openly stated its goal is to sequence as much of the global population as possible in search of genes linked to intelligence—and act on what they find.

Luke 17:26-27 Just as it was in the days of Noah, so also will it be in the days of the Son of Man: People were eating and drinking, marrying and being given in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark. Then the flood came and destroyed them all.

Exodus 2:11-12 One day, after Moses had grown up, he went out to his own people and observed their hard labor. He saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew, one of his own people. After looking this way and that and seeing no one, he struck down the Egyptian and hid his body in the sand.

President Biden has a proposal for the conflict in Gaza.

The food supply continues to be under assault across the planet. This is the last week alone. Look for egg and chicken prices to rise. Revelation says hyperinflation is a an economic condition at the onset of the tribulation.

More than 4 million chickens to be killed in Iowa after officials detect bird flu on farm

Last week, an egg farm in Iowa’s northern neighbor Minnesota was also hit by the avian flu, affecting just under 1.4 million of the birds. At the same time, more than 81,000 commercial turkey meat birds and breeder hens were also hit in Minnesota.

Will any one be shocked if we are told we need to be vaccinated for Bird Flu???

Pride Month, 2024

Humanity is dedicating a month to the celebration of Pride. And the point of this section is not to shake a finger at anybody. We all sin and we are all guilty. One sin is not more sinful than another. Set aside sexual behavior. We are all still guilty before God. You break one of God’s laws, you break them all.

As I have stated in the past on this blog, these are God’s words. It is acknowledged, His words are offensive to segments of society. Eventually, His words are offensive to all of us if we are honest with ourselves. Please take your complaints and comments directly to Him. He will listen. He is a big boy. He can handle it.

Proverbs 8:13 The fear of the LORD is hatred of evil. Pride and arrogance and the way of evil and perverted speech I hate.

Above is what God says. Below are the positions of the current powers that be…

The monthlong global celebration began with Gay Pride Week in late June 1970, a public celebration that marked the first anniversary of the violent police raid at New York’s Stonewall Inn, a gay bar.

https://apnews.com/article/pride-month-lgbtq-2024-1abf80d0cf1026b60b47f565e9953fec

Now according to Wikipedia…

The concept of Pride Month began with the Stonewall riots, a series of riots for gay liberation that took place over several days beginning on June 28, 1969. The riots began after a police raid at the Stonewall Inn, a gay bar located within Lower Manhattan in New York City.[2] Activists Marsha P. JohnsonSylvia Rivera, and Stormé DeLarverie are credited for inciting the riots, though Johnson disputes her involvement.[3][1]

Exodus 32:6 So the next day they got up early and offered burnt offerings, and brought peace offerings; and the people sat down to eat and to drink, and got up to engage in lewd behavior.

Dr. Jordan B. Peterson is an author, psychologist, online educator, and Professor Emeritus at the University of Toronto. Below, he shares his thoughts on Pride Month. He discusses the term “Pride” and how this relates to the golden calf worship after the Israeli Exodus from Egypt.

Magog and the Revelation’s “Kings of the East” merge closer together…

  • Russia plans to increase gas exports to China by 50% this year, from 15 to 22 billion cubic meters.
  • This shift towards China is part of Russia’s move away from the West due to sanctions.
  • The Chinese currency accounted for 23% of Russian import payments last year, up from 4% in the previous year.

“The yuan and ruble are in high demand, so that vector will continue. China already pays in yuan for gas and partially for oil, there are settlements in the ruble as well,” Alexander Novak, Russian Deputy Prime Minister.

Trend Update: Iran Instead of ISIS, August 2017

Posted in Ezekiel 38-39, Persia/Elam/Iran, Prophecy, Trend Update with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on August 13, 2017 by paulthepoke

Ezekiel 38:5 Persia, Ethiopia and Put with them, all of them with shield and helmet…

August 13, 2017: Recent history is repeating itself again. When one set of terrorists is eliminated, another set of issues will take its place. ISIS is gradually being removed from the current Middle East scenario.

The head of Israel’s Intelligence Agency, Mossad, indicated Iran is taking the territories vacated by ISIS. Mossad is lead by Yossi Cohen. Iran is expanding by proxy in Syria, Lebanon, Iraq and Yemen. Shia Muslims are replacing Sunni Muslims.

Israel along with President Trump has expressed concern regarding Iranian compliance of the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA). The JCPOA is the nuclear deal President Obama signed with the Iranians. Iran maintains their nuclear program is for peaceful purposes. Iran also states they are not developing ballistic missiles that carry nuclear weapons.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel has made it clear. Israel does not follow other international agreements when it comes to the security of the nation.

“Israel will continue to work with determination and in a variety of ways to protect itself from these threats,” stated Netanyahu.

Prime Minister Netanyahu is looking to go to war without approval of the full cabinet. The law comes up for vote before the Knesset in October. The Prime Minister is not confirming or denying the possibility.

Annual Army Day Military ParadeFor its part, Iranian legislators recently passed a spending bill to increase funding to the nation’s missile program. Some lawmakers chanted “Death to America” with the passing of the program. $260 million was committed to the missile program and the Quds Force. The Quds Force is a military unit deployed in Syria and Iraq.

Revelation 16:12 The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up, to prepare the way for the kings from the east.

Significant oil finds are occurring in the Golan Heights of Israel “with the potential of billions of barrels”. The world sees this territory as occupied Syria. If that is not intriguing enough, another significant find is reported to be in valley of Meggido-Jezreel. This is also known as…

Revelation 16:16 And they assembled them at the place that in Hebrew is called Armageddon.

There are massive natural gas reserves off the coast of Israel in the Mediterranean Sea. They are the Leviathan and Tamar fields.

china unChinese peacekeeping troops are more acceptable to Israel because they are not Arab. Israel has been agreeable to Chinese troops to Lebanon in the past. Israel sees Asians as more impartial.

China is looking to join the United Nations peace keeping forces in the Golan Heights. The peacekeeping branch of the UN is called the United Nations Disengagement Observer Force (UNDOF).
