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.

This Week in Prophecy: Quakes in Japan & Alaska; Peace President Trump in Africa & Arabian Peninsula

Posted in #PaulthePoke, Prophecy, Trend Update with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , on December 9, 2025 by paulthepoke

Quakes in various places… Jesus

The Japan Meteorological Agency pinpointed the epicenter 80 kilometers east of Aomori Prefecture in the Pacific Ocean, at a depth of about 50 kilometers, striking at 11:15 p.m. local time. Tsunami warnings prompted 90,000 people to evacuate coastal areas in Aomori, Iwate, and Hokkaido, but waves stayed small at 70 centimeters max, with all alerts lifted by morning. Minor injuries affected 23 people, mostly from falls, alongside cracked roads, brief fires, and power outages; Japan’s strong building codes and quick response kept damage low. -Grok

7.0 Earthquake Rattles Alaska-Yukon Border on December 6, 2025

The earthquake struck 60 miles north of Yakutat, Alaska, at a shallow 10-kilometer depth along the Fairweather Fault system. Shaking lasted up to a minute, strong enough near the epicenter to knock items off shelves, but the remote location meant no injuries or major damage. Aftershocks continued into December 7, with nearly 180 above magnitude 3 recorded, and officials confirmed no tsunami risk. Alaska’s rugged terrain makes such events common, and experts urge ongoing preparedness. -Grok

This Week in Prophecy: Trump on the Move! Epstein Files; Peace; MBS to DC

Posted in #PaulthePoke, Saudi Arabia/Sheba/Dedan, Trend Update with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on November 20, 2025 by paulthepoke

Exodus 20:14 You shall not commit adultery.

Proverbs 6:32 He who commits adultery lacks judgment; whoever does so destroys himself.

This PSA was aired as a commercial on Monday Night Football…

For five administrations, survivors of Jeffrey Epstein have been left in the dark, waiting for answers and accountability. After three decades, it’s finally time to bring the secrets out of the shadows. We are demanding the release of ALL the Epstein files.

The time is now! Call your member of congress and tell them to VOTE YES on the Epstein Files Transparency Act.

Click on the link below and “Watch the Video”.

https://www.worldwithoutexploitation.org

The House of Representatives and the Senate have passed bills to be signed by President Trump. Accordingly, President Trump has SIGNED the bill to release the Epstein Files. Let’s see who is involved…

Legal document highlighting the release of documents related to the Epstein Files Transparency Act.

Per the signed bill, 30 days to release the files…

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.

The United Nations did what???

Details on the Board of Peace are at the link below.

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.

Ezekiel 38-39 Sheba and Dedan or modern day Saudi Arabia.

Mohammed bin Salman paid a visit to the White House earlier in the week. He talked Middle East and the Abraham Accords.

The result was $1 trillion of Saudi investment into the United States.

During Oval Office talks, a White House dinner, and the U.S.-Saudi Investment Forum, President Donald Trump and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman elevated Saudi investment pledges from $600 billion to nearly $1 trillion, targeting infrastructure, AI, critical minerals, and nuclear energy. 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.

https://twitter.com/i/trending/1991285955039285319

President Trump demonstrates cultural awareness in the clip below.

In Islam, the left hand is traditionally considered unclean because it is used for hygiene purposes, such as cleaning after using the toilet. As a result, it is considered improper and prohibited to eat, drink, or give and receive items with the left hand. Instead, the right hand should be used for these activities.

At the request of the Saudi Crown Prince, Trump has injected himself into the peace process in Sudan.

This Week in Prophecy: Trump Middle East Tour

Ezekiel 38:13 Sheba, Dedan, the merchants of Tarshish, and all their young lions will say to you, ‘Have you come to take plunder? Have you gathered your army to take booty, to carry away silver and gold, to take away livestock and goods, to take great plunder?’ ” ’

President Trump made his initial trip abroad since being re elected. He chose to go to the Middle East.

The first stop was ancient Sheba and Dedan or modern day Saudi Arabia. The Saudis committed $600 billion to United States business.

https://www.whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/2025/05/fact-sheet-president-donald-j-trump-secures-historic-600-billion-investment-commitment-in-saudi-arabia

Al Jolani should remember it was Trump who effectively dismantled ISIS during his first administration.

This Week in Prophecy: Peace Negotiations, DRC Violence, Greek Quakes

Posted in #PaulthePoke, Earthquakes/Volcanoes, Prophecy, Trend Update with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on February 23, 2025 by paulthepoke

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.

Separate negotiations are taking place to end the war between Russia and Ukraine.

https://twitter.com/sentdefender

Against the backdrop of Russo-American talks in Saudi Arabia and the emergency European security summit in Paris, France, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is visiting Turkey today to speak with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. According to a statement from President Zelensky, food, security, prisoner exchanges, and some bilateral educational and cultural initiatives are the topics for discussion. On the prisoner exchanges: Alongside the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Saudi Arabia, Turkey has played a key role in facilitating past prisoner exchanges and other Russo-Ukrainian wartime communications. However, given the aforementioned meetings and summits, peace negotiations will likely be on the docket for conversation as well.

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio met with Russian Minister of Foreign Affairs Sergey Lavrov in Saudi Arabia. Below is the Russian perspective.

https://twitter.com/InsiderGeo/status/1891856577012851114/photo/1

The main points from Sergey Lavrov’s statements following the talks in Riyadh:

The conversation with the US representatives was very useful, the parties began to listen and hear each other;

Russia and the United States agreed to ensure the earliest possible appointment of ambassadors in Washington and Moscow;

The US will announce who will represent them on the issue of settlement in Ukraine, and the Russian Federation will immediately do the same;

The Russian Federation and the United States are interested in resuming consultations on geopolitical issues and removing barriers to economic cooperation. The parties will try to create conditions for resuming cooperation in full;

Mutual understanding between the Russian Federation and the United States on a number of issues does not mean a rapprochement of positions;

The Russian Federation and the United States have practically agreed to resolve “once and for all” issues with the functioning of the diplomatic missions of the two countries;

The US has said that the report about a three-point plan for Ukraine is fake;

Russia explained to the US that NATO’s absorption of Ukraine would be a direct threat to Moscow;

The United States proposed introducing a moratorium on attacks on energy facilities in Russia and Ukraine;

The presence of NATO troops on Ukrainian territory is unacceptable for the Russian Federation;

Zelensky’s stunt with the attack on the pumping station in Kuban suggests that it’s time for him to get a slap on the wrist;

Russia has sensed the US’s complete determination to “move forward”, and Moscow is in the same mood.

Reuters reports that France plans to host a second emergency meeting tomorrow to discuss Ukraine and European security, but has this time invited European countries not present at the first meeting earlier this week and NATO ally Canada.

Revelation 20:4 Then I saw thrones, and seated on them were those to whom the authority to judge was committed. Also I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus and for the word of God, and those who had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.

70 Christians found beheaded in church in DRC

Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) rose six places to number 35 in the latest World Watch List. Last year, 355 were killed for their faith, compared with 261 the previous year, whilst an estimated 10,000 were internally displaced, which is ten times more than 2023. Houses have been looted and burnt, schools relocated, churches and health facilities closed, and several Christian villages have been abandoned altogether.

This Week in Prophecy: Euphrates; Ezekiel 38’s Russia, Iran, Saudi Arabia; Trump Executive Orders

Posted in #PaulthePoke, Euphrates River, Ezekiel 38-39, Prophecy, Trend Update with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , on January 29, 2025 by paulthepoke

Revelation 16:12 The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river, the Euphrates; and its water was dried up, so that the way would be prepared for the kings from the east.

The Euphrates River is a major source of water in ancient Babylon or what is modern day Iraq. In reference to the waters of the Babylonians in Jeremiah 50…

Jeremiah 50:38 A drought against her waters, that they may be dried up! For it is a land of images, and they are mad over idols.

Turkish and Iranian dams upstream on the shared Tigris and Euphrates rivers are cutting Iraq off from much-needed water relief. It is estimated that Turkiye’s various dam and hydropower construction projects have reduced Iraq’s water supply along the two rivers by 80 percent since 1975.

The stage is being set for the Euphrates to go dry…

1 John 3:15-16 Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that eternal life does not reside in a murderer. By this we know what love is: Jesus laid down His life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers.

And it is His love for us, His work on the cross for sin (in this case murder), that keeps us from an eternal hell.

1 John 3:20 Even if our hearts condemn us, God is greater than our hearts, and He knows all things.

Matthew 5:9 Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God. -Jesus

For the record, I do not have a side in this mess between Russia and Ukraine. I believe this situation was started in part by weak leadership in the West. I am not interested in this conflict escalating and spreading.

Many Americans do not agree to continue to support Ukraine. Millions of Americans are disgusted by our government’s choices. The American people do want innocent people harmed.

Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong Un reached an agreement to defend each other in case of conflict. North Korea is reportedly going to send military arms, equipment, and possibly troops to assist Russia against Ukraine.

Iran Launches at Israel; Dubai Cloud Seeding

Posted in #PaulthePoke, Persia/Elam/Iran, Prophecy, Trend Update with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on April 16, 2024 by paulthepoke

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
