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: Russia Supports Iran; Oil & Gas; Water Wars; Hezbollah in Lebanon; Spies

Posted in #PaulthePoke, Ezekiel 38-39, Persia/Elam/Iran, Prophecy, Trend Update with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on March 8, 2026 by paulthepoke

Matthew 25:1-5 At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. Five of them were foolish, and five were wise. The foolish ones took their lamps but did not take along any extra oil. But the wise ones took oil in flasks along with their lamps. When the bridegroom was delayed, they all became drowsy and fell asleep.

Oil and gas continue to be shut off throughout the Persian Gulf. Supply disruptions are happening and affecting the globe.

Where and who is Esmail Qaani???

Esmail Qaani (also spelled Ismail Qaani or Esmail Ghaani), the commander of Iran’s IRGC Quds Force since 2020, has an unknown current location as of March 8, 2026. His whereabouts have been shrouded in intense speculation, rumors, and conflicting unverified reports amid the ongoing Iran-Israel conflict and recent escalations (including strikes that killed Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on February 28, 2026).Key points from the latest information:

  • No official confirmation from Iran — Iranian state media and authorities have remained silent on his status, with no recent public appearances, statements, or denials addressing the rumors directly.
  • Rumors of execution or arrest by Iran — Multiple Arab media outlets, social media claims, and fringe reports allege he was detained or executed by the IRGC on suspicion of espionage for Israel (Mossad). This stems from his repeated “survivals” of major strikes that killed other top figures (e.g., near-misses tied to deaths of Nasrallah, Haniyeh, and now Khamenei), fueling paranoia that he leaked information or was suspiciously absent. These claims remain unverified, often labeled as possible disinformation or psychological warfare.
  • Contradictory claims of defection to Israel — Social media posts (including satirical or meme-style ones) and unconfirmed reports assert he is “safe in Israel,” portrayed as a long-term Mossad asset (e.g., “Agent 47”) who helped coordinate strikes. Some even include fabricated images or stories of him receiving awards in Israel. These appear largely as online disinformation, memes, or exaggeration, with no credible evidence from major outlets.
  • Other reports — Some sources describe him as still one of the highest-ranking surviving Iranian military officials, potentially active despite the Quds Force headquarters being destroyed in recent strikes. He has a history of “disappearing” and resurfacing (e.g., declared dead in 2024/2025 reports, then reappearing in Tehran).

In summary, there is no reliable, confirmed information on his exact location right now. The situation is chaotic due to the fog of war, internal Iranian purges, and rampant online rumors (including obvious fakes and satire). He is most likely still in Iran (possibly detained, in hiding, or operating covertly), but nothing definitive exists beyond speculation. If new official statements emerge from Tehran or major outlets, that could clarify things quickly. -Grok

Epic Fury Update, March 3, 2026, Purim

Posted in #PaulthePoke, China, Ezekiel 38-39, Purim, Trend Update with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on March 3, 2026 by paulthepoke

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.

2 Peter 1:19-21 We also have the word of the prophets as confirmed beyond doubt. And you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts. Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture comes from one’s own interpretation. For no such prophecy was ever brought forth by the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.

Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro Charged In New York

Acts 13:40-41 Watch out, then, that what was spoken by the prophets does not happen to you: ‘Look, you scoffers, wonder and perish! For I am doing a work in your days that you would never believe, even if someone told you.’

While we slept last night… Nicolas Maduro is out in Venezuela.

President Trump interview with Fox News before Press Conference.

2025 Nobel Peace Prize recipient Maria Corina Machado has issued a statement.

Machado is calling for the military to recognize candidate Edmundo González as president. González defeated Maduro in the most recent election but Maduro refused to relinquish power.

“The hour of freedom has arrived. This is the hour of the citizens. Those of us who risked everything for democracy on July 28th. Those of us who elected Edmundo González Urrutia as the legitimate President of Venezuela, who must immediately assume his constitutional mandate and be recognized as Commander-in-Chief of the National Armed Forces by all the officers and soldiers who comprise it.”

Israel & Iran, Just Getting Started; Rainbows

Posted in #PaulthePoke, Persia/Elam/Iran, Prophecy, Trend Update with tags , , , , , , , , , , on June 15, 2025 by paulthepoke

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.

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.”

This Week in Prophecy: Passover, De-dollarization, Oil, CBDC’s, Finland Joins NATO, Papua New Guinea Quake, Innocent Until Proven Guilty

Exodus 12:6 You shall keep it until the fourteenth day of the same month, then the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel is to slaughter it at twilight.

The Passover Sacrifice took place near the Dung Gate in Jerusalem. The Dung Gate is located south of the Western Wall and looks over the City of David.

Rafael Morris of the Returning to the Mount movement was held by local authorities under suspicion for potentially sacrificing a Paschal Lamb on the Temple Mount. This year, the Returning to the Mount movement raised the anti to 20,000 shekels (roughly $5,600) for anyone attempting or finishing the sacrifice on the Temple Mount.
