The Mecca Joint Defense Agreement (also called the Mecca/Makkah Pact or Mecca Joint Deterrence Agreement) is a trilateral collective-defense pact signed on August 7, 2026, in Mecca, Saudi Arabia, by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, and Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif.

The three countries bring complementary strengths: Saudi Arabia’s financial resources and strategic position, Turkey’s conventional military capabilities and defense industry (as a NATO member), and Pakistan’s large armed forces and status as the sole nuclear-armed Muslim-majority state. The pact has been described as a strategic hedge and framework for deeper cooperation rather than a fully integrated military alliance with standing forces or detailed automatic response mechanisms. It has been noted as potentially open to future expansion.

The 3 countries surround ancient Persia or modern day Iran.

Will Saudi Arabia join the Abraham Accords with Israel?

Prophecy tells us where this is going. The plot thickens…

Isaiah 17:1 This is the burden against Damascus: “Behold, Damascus is no longer a city; it has become a heap of ruins.

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.

Quakes in various places… -Jesus

On August 10, 2026, a magnitude 7.4 earthquake struck western Colombia, the strongest recorded in the country in the 21st century.

Key Details

  • Time and location: It occurred at 7:34 a.m. local time (12:34 UTC), with its epicenter near San José del Palmar in the Chocó department (about 400 km / 250 miles west of Bogotá). Depth estimates ranged from roughly 96–110 km (intermediate depth). It was a strike-slip event related to the subduction of the Nazca Plate. en.wikipedia.org
  • Intensity and reach: Shaking lasted up to about 2 minutes and was felt widely across western and central Colombia (including Bogotá, Cali, Pereira, Medellín, Manizales, and Quibdó), as well as in neighboring Ecuador, Panama, and parts of Venezuela. Maximum intensity reached MMI VIII (Severe) in some areas. en.wikipedia.org

Casualties and Damage

As of reports around August 11–12, 2026:

  • Deaths: At least 239–254 confirmed. Hardest-hit areas included Pereira (coffee-growing region) and Cali. reuters.com
  • Injuries: More than 2,500–3,700.
  • Missing: Hundreds officially, with crowdsourced figures exceeding 4,000 in some reports.
  • Infrastructure: Hundreds of buildings collapsed or were heavily damaged (including homes, schools, health centers, and parts of hospitals); thousands more structures were affected. Airports (e.g., Pereira) faced closures or suspensions; roads, bridges, and utilities were disrupted. Landslides were a concern in the mountainous terrain. miamiherald.com

Amos 1:13 This is what the LORD says: “For three transgressions of the Ammonites, even four, I will not revoke My judgment, because they ripped open the pregnant women of Gilead in order to enlarge their territory.

Future River emerges from the Temple in Jerusalem

Ezekiel 47:7-12 When I arrived there, I saw a great number of trees on each side of the river. He said to me, “This water flows toward the eastern region and goes down into the Arabah, where it enters the Dead Sea. When it empties into the sea, the salty water there becomes fresh. Swarms of living creatures will live wherever the river flows. There will be large numbers of fish, because this water flows there and makes the salt water fresh; so where the river flows everything will live. Fishermen will stand along the shore; from En Gedi to En Eglaim there will be places for spreading nets. The fish will be of many kinds—like the fish of the Mediterranean Sea. But the swamps and marshes will not become fresh; they will be left for salt. Fruit trees of all kinds will grow on both banks of the river. Their leaves will not wither, nor will their fruit fail. Every month they will bear fruit, because the water from the sanctuary flows to them. Their fruit will serve for food and their leaves for healing.”

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.

Epic Fury Update, March 3, 2026, Purim

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.

This Week in Prophecy: Israel, Biden’s Policy, Russia & Iran, Greta, Solar Flares

Amos 9:15 I will firmly plant them in their own land, never again to be uprooted from the land that I have given them,” says the LORD your God.

Genesis 12:3 I will bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you; and all the families of the earth will be blessed through you.

“I made it clear that if they go into Rafah, they haven’t gone in Rafah yet, if they go into Rafah, I’m not supplying the weapons that have been used historically to deal with Rafah, to deal with the cities, that deal with that problem,” President Joe Biden.

https://www.cnn.com/2024/05/08/politics/joe-biden-interview-cnntv/index.html

President Biden has not changed his policy towards Israel. Remember back in 1987 with Biden’s exchange with Israeli Prime Minister Menacham Begin.

“Don’t threaten us with cutting off aid to give up our principles. I’m not a Jew with trembling knees. I am a proud Jew with 3,700 years of civilized history. Nobody came to our aid when we were dying in the gas chambers and ovens. Nobody came to our aid when we were striving to create our country. We paid for it. We fought for it. We died for it. We will stand by our principles. We will defend them. And, when necessary, we will die for them again, with or without your aid.” -Menachem Begin, Israeli Prime Minister

2 Timothy 3:1-5 But understand this: In the last days terrible times will come. For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, without love of good, traitorous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. Turn away from such as these!

Psalm 19:1 The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of His hands.

Genesis 9:11 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.”

Breaking News… Iran is Under Attack

Posted in #PaulthePoke, Ezekiel 38-39, Persia/Elam/Iran, Prophecy, Trend Update with tags , , , , , on April 18, 2024 by paulthepoke

Jeremiah 49:35-39 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 consistent with modern day western Iran. At some point, this area is headed for significant judgment to the point the people of the region will be scattered throughout the world. It appears the assault includes people from multiple parts of the world, hence the four corners of the heavens.

Western Iran is going to have their diaspora. Yet in His grace, these people will be restored to their land.

This is breaking news and a developing story…
