This Week in Prophecy: Fly Dubai; Nepal Mudslides; Russian Plague?; Israel into Isolation

Posted in #PaulthePoke, Prophecy, Temple, Trend Update with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on October 6, 2026 by paulthepoke

Psalm 27:2 When evildoers assail me to eat up my flesh, my adversaries and foes, it is they who stumble and fall.

Flooding in Nepal

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.

Psalm 97:5 The mountains melt like wax before the LORD, before the Lord of all the earth.

Geography’s destiny at the end of the tribulation in Revelation.

Revelation 16:20 And every island fled away, and no mountains were to be found.

Revelation 20:9 And they marched across the broad expanse of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city. But fire came down from heaven and consumed them.

…the broad plain of the earth…Notice the term is singular, one land mass. Mountains and islands are not mentioned. They have been removed. The Greek word for “broad plain” is platos (πλάτος). Per Strong’s Concordance, the term suggests great extent. The Greek word for “earth” is ge (γῆ). The term is defined as: arable land; the ground, the earth as a standing place.

This appears to be a huge land mass or a super continent.

In the beginning, God created a single land mass on planet earth.

Genesis 1:9-10 Then God said, “Let the waters below the heavens be gathered into one place, and let the dry land appear”; and it was so. God called the dry land earth, and the gathering of the waters He called seas; and God saw that it was good.

Some would argue the land was divided during Noah’s flood. There is one verse that is very clear when the continents emerged.

Genesis 10:25 Two sons were born to Eber; the name of the one was Peleg, for in his days the earth was divided; and his brother’s name was Joktan.

Peleg’s life and times are noted after the Tower of Babel. Babel is where God scattered the peoples and changed their language from one to multiple languages. After Babel, God broke up the single land mass as well.

…the earth was divided… The Hebrew word for “earth” is `erets. This is the same term used in Genesis 1:9-10. It means: land or earth. The Hebrew word for “divided” is palag. It means: to be split or divided. Stated plainly, the land/earth was split/divided.

It appears, God will put His creation back in the order as He intended, one land mass, no mountains, no islands.

Revelation 21:5 And He who was seated on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new.” Also He said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.”

You are to instruct all the skilled craftsmen, whom I have filled with a spirit of wisdom, to make garments for Aaron’s consecration, so that he may serve Me as priest.

This Week in Prophecy: Global Energy Report

Posted in #PaulthePoke, China, Ezekiel 38-39, Prophecy, Revelation, Saudi Arabia/Sheba/Dedan, Trend Update with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on September 16, 2026 by paulthepoke

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!”

The Bible indicates there will be hyperinflation at the onset of the 7 year tribulation. Economically, these are the conditions described in Revelation.

Context: At the time John was writing Revelation from the island of Patmos, a denarius was roughly a day’s wage for the common laborer.

Take a look at the commodities in the verse: wheat, barley, oil and wine.

A quart of wheat and oil would make a loaf of bread for one person. Wheat was a more expensive grain as compared to barley. Three quarts of barley and oil would make bread for a family. In other words, it would take a day’s wage to feed a person or a family depending on the grain.

Some scholars think the oil alludes to believers in Christ who are sealed with the Holy Spirit. A symbol for the Holy Spirit is olive oil. So, initially do not harm Believers in Christ.

It is this author’s opinion that those who are believers on Earth at this time in Revelation 6 are those who changed their mind at the time of the Resurrection/Rapture. The church or the bride of Christ is in heaven because of the resurrection/rapture event. I have no doubt when this event occurs, there will be many on planet Earth who will realize they missed the event and turn to Jesus and believe in Him.

Bread and Wine are also the elements for communion. Initially, do not harm the Believers in Jesus. The antichrist will have his time and conquer Believers in Jesus in the back half of the tribulation.

Others think that oil and wine are products of the wealthy and they are unaffected initially at the cost of these items. The wealthy have resources to pay for their needs and luxuries. It would appear there is a gap between the “haves” and “have nots”.

Some might even describe these conditions as the K shaped economy which emerged after the Covid19 global pandemic.

A K-Shaped Economy is one where the rich and powerful get richer, certain high-tech/high-skill sectors soar, and everyone else continues to struggle—creating a stark, two-tier recovery. -Grok

Today in the 21st century, inflation is spreading across the globe. These are not regional circumstances. Energy prices are exacerbating the inflation. There are already parts of the world who are paying exorbitant prices to feed their families. We are all feeling it in the pocketbook when it comes to the cost of goods and food. Even the critic has to admit, we are trending toward hyperinflation and the scale is global.

Illustration labeled Russia, China, Ukraine, Japan, Australia, Yemen, hyperinflation, inflation, oil tanker, LNG natural gas, East West Pipeline, and Yanbu

For those new to the blog, we are of the opinion the tribulation has yet to begin. For example, there has been no red heifer sacrifice so there cannot be a 3rd Temple built. There is no 3rd Temple for the antichrist to defile. There is not a 10 member nation or ruling committee for the antichrist to subdue 3 members and take control. There are not 2 witnesses pronouncing judgment from Jerusalem.

Ancient Sheba and Dedan or modern day Saudi Arabia

Houthi forces targeted multiple Saudi energy sites, including the 400,000-barrel-per-day YASREF refinery in Yanbu, Aramco’s Abha bulk plant, and areas near Dammam and Jazan, causing large fires, evacuations, and temporary shutdowns. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz warned that Houthi control near Bab al-Mandab is worsening energy markets and threatening Red Sea shipping, with effects felt in Germany. Saudi officials called the strikes a dangerous escalation that wounded dozens, while oil prices face upward pressure amid concerns over export disruptions. -Grok

A Yemeni military source told Germany’s DPA news agency that the Iran-backed Houthis laid mines in the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, a narrow chokepoint carrying 5.4 million barrels of oil daily before disruptions. The claim follows the group’s mid-September capture of Yemen’s Red Sea coast and strategic islands, heightening maritime security fears amid rerouted shipping and oil market jitters. Skeptics question the unverified report, noting normal commercial traffic, no incidents, and Houthi statements allowing passage for most vessels except Saudi-linked ones. -Grok

This Week in Prophecy: Mecca Agreement; Syria; Quake in Colombia; Mass Abort; Dead Sea

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.

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

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.”

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

The “Board of Peace” is a key element of President Donald Trump’s 20-point Gaza peace plan, unveiled in September 2025 as part of efforts to end the ongoing Gaza war and stabilize the region. Trump has positioned himself as the chair of this international transitional body, which aims to oversee governance, reconstruction, and security in Gaza during a handover period to reformed Palestinian authorities. The plan builds on U.S.-brokered ceasefires and has garnered significant international support, including a landmark UN Security Council resolution passed on November 17, 2025.

Agreements totaled $270 billion, including Saudi Aramco’s $30 billion deals and Nvidia projects, while defense pacts designated Saudi Arabia a major non-NATO ally with F-35 jets and tanks. Trump also pledged U.S. collaboration with Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Egypt to end Sudan’s atrocities at bin Salman’s request.

John 15:18-20 “If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. Remember the word that I said to you, ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you. If they kept My word, they will keep yours also. -Jesus

Followers of Jesus will be persecuted, said Jesus.

Here is the standard and expectation according to Scripture.

Mark 12:31 The second is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”

Romans 12:14-21 Bless those who persecute you. Bless and do not curse. Rejoice with those who rejoice; weep with those who weep. Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but associate with the lowly. Do not be conceited. Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Carefully consider what is right in the eyes of everybody. If it is possible on your part, live at peace with everyone. Do not avenge yourselves, beloved, but leave room for God’s wrath. For it is written: “Vengeance is Mine; I will repay, says the Lord.” On the contrary, “If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him a drink. For in so doing, you will heap burning coals on his head.” Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

This does not mean stand around and get slaughtered. We have the right to defend ourselves. As Christians, we should not be aggressive towards others and seeking violent conflict. Retaliation and vengeance belong to God. But we can protect and defend ourselves.

Luke 22:36 He said to them, “But now let the one who has a moneybag take it, and likewise a knapsack. And let the one who has no sword sell his cloak and buy one.

Galatians 2:16 yet we know that a person is not justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, so we also have believed in Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law no one will be justified.

“I just want to end it. If I can save seven thousand people a week from getting killed, that’s pretty good. I want to get to heaven if possible. I’m hearing I’m not doing well. I hear I’m at the bottom of the totem pole. If I can get to heaven, this will be one of the reasons.” -President Trump

Touting peace credentials before the LORD is not going to help your eternal heavenly cause…

Romans 3:27-28 Where, then, is boasting? It is excluded. On what principle? On that of works? No, but on that of faith. For we maintain that a man is justified by faith apart from works of the law.

One cannot work or earn their way to Heaven no matter what one does. This has always been the plan before creation. There is no act or deed we can do to merit eternal life.

2 Timothy 1:9 He has saved us and called us to a holy calling, not because of our works, but by His own purpose and by the grace He granted us in Christ Jesus before time began.

Ephesians 2:8-9 For it is by grace you have been saved through faith, and this not from yourselves; it is the gift of God, not by works, so that no one can boast.

One’s great deeds will not get them into Heaven and eternal life with God.

See also Titus 3:5, Romans 4:4-5, Romans 11:6, Philippians 3:9, Romans 3:20, Galatians 5:4, 1 Corinthians 1:29-31, Romans 9:11-12, John 6:28-29, Isaiah 64:6, Jeremiah 9:23-24, Romans 4:2.

I don’t know what President Trump ultimately believes. Does he believe in Jesus’ work on the cross and His payment of sin for his personal salvation? That is between the Donald and our Creator.

Can God use a non believer to achieve His will? Yes, See Cyrus and Nebuchadnezzar as well as others.

Did God spare Donald Trump’s life from a bullet in Pennsylvania?

Encouraging President Trump’s spiritual advisors to have a sincere discussion with him. His current advisors include Paula White-Cain, Jennifer Korn, and Jackson Lane.

Paula White-Cain is his lead advisor. Count me suspicious of the President getting wise counsel with her history of pedaling the Prosperity Gospel on TV.

Prosperity gospel preachers teach their followers that the way to gain riches is to give more money to the kingdom, especially by giving to their churches and ministries. The quantity of material and financial prosperity one expects to gain is in proportion to what one gives.

Material wealth, health, and happiness are the will of God and can be obtained through faith and positive thinking. The Prosperity Gospel assumes that material prosperity is a proof of God’s grace.

Preach this line of thinking to persecuted believers, brothers, and sisters in Christ in places like Rwanda, China, or Iran.

The Prosperity Gospel is a cruel lie.

Genesis 15:18-21 On that day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, “To your descendants I have given this land, From the river of Egypt as far as the great river, the river Euphrates: the Kenite and the Kenizzite and the Kadmonite and the Hittite and the Perizzite and the Rephaim and the Amorite and the Canaanite and the Girgashite and the Jebusite.”

These are the ultimate borders of nation Israel per God. They have yet to be realized.

This calls for the geography of Israel to stretch from the Nile River in Egypt to Euphrates River in the east. One could argue rather this implies the Arabian Peninsula or not.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu recently made waves on a TV interview with i24 News.

In the newly published interview he said he is on a “historic and spiritual mission” and expressed strong attachment to the vision of a Greater Israel, which is a longtime reference to Israel encompassing parts of Jordan, Egypt and Syria – along with the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip.

It would appear the Ayatollah Khamenei in Iran is paying attention.

Isaiah 2:2 In the last days the mountain of the house of the LORD will be established as the chief of the mountains; it will be raised above the hills, and all nations will stream to it.

This is from Middle East Eye, an Arab publication that is sympathetic to Islam. The tide has turned. They know the Third Jewish Temple is coming.

1 Thessalonians 5:3 While people are saying, “There is peace and security,” then sudden destruction will come upon them as labor pains come upon a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.

Peace and security are hard work, just ask Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni.

This Week in Prophecy: Peace President; Israel & Egypt; Pestilence; Red Sea of Galilee

1 Thessalonians 5:3 While people are saying, “There is peace and security,” then sudden destruction will come upon them as labor pains come upon a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.

Am I suggesting that war should continue? No… The verse above is a sign of the time. Ultimately, this peace is not sustaining or everlasting. Trump is not eternal.

Presidents Trump and Putin are scheduled to meet Friday, August 15, 2025 in Alaska. A major focus of the meeting is peace between Russia and Ukraine.

Isaiah 19:24-25 In that day Israel will join a three-party alliance with Egypt and Assyria—a blessing upon the earth. The LORD of Hosts will bless them, saying, “Blessed be Egypt My people, Assyria My handiwork, and Israel My inheritance.”

This above is the end result. Before this happens, the Nile River will go dry and there will be direct economic and social consequences in Egypt.

For now, Israel and Egypt have signed an energy trade agreement.

“It helps strengthen the peace, strengthens energy security, and pushes back on Iranian influence.“

Plagues and pestilence…

Chikungunya Virus is the latest global infection. Fox News was covering this earlier in the week. We are starting to see sporadic media coverage emerge. Not to minimize the severity of the symptoms, but 90 deaths in 240,000 infections = .000375 chance of death.

I am not making this up. Chikungunya translated means “bend over”. Because of all the pain and discomfort, to “bend over” is the only way to alleviate pain.

Revelation 8:8-9 The second angel sounded, and something like a great mountain burning with fire was thrown into the sea; and a third of the sea became blood, and a third of the creatures which were in the sea and had life, died; and a third of the ships were destroyed.
