On This Week in Prophecy: The Saudis name their terms for peace with the Israelis. They want to develop nuclear power, for peaceful purposes of course. The Saudis would also like some assurances from the United States in regards to security. Will the United States agree? Will Saudi Arabia join the Abraham Accords?
Many think Israel is on the verge of striking Iran’s nuclear program.
PM Netanyahu: "We have a common agenda to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons and preventing Iran's aggression, maintaining the security and prosperity of this region and seeking to expand the circle of peace. That is an important agenda, I look forward to our discussion" pic.twitter.com/akhaoNDh01

After the meeting, Prime Minister Netanyahu was off to Italy. He was offering a deal, Israeli gas and Italy recognize Jerusalem as its capital.
“And then there is natural gas. We have a lot of it and I would like to discuss how to get it to Italy to support your economic growth.”
“I believe the time has come for Rome to recognize Jerusalem as the ancestral capital of the Jewish people for three thousand years, as the United States did with a gesture of great friendship,” PM Netanyahu.

Taiwan had two internet cables cut. The result was massive outages across Taiwan. Responsibility of the act has not been claimed. Speculation is running wild as to how this happened. China is suspected.

Iraq will settle business transactions in yuan with China.
“It is for the first time that imports would be financed from China in yuan, as Iraqi imports from China have been financed in (US) dollars only.” -Mudhir Salih, Iraqi Economic Advisor
So let me get this straight…the US and Europe (44% of global GDP) are each down one billion tons of emissions while China (18% of global GDP) has recklessly expanded 7 billion tons over the same time frame. Just imagine if China achieved similar per capita #s. #China#DoTheMath… https://t.co/Fq1G0L5IuWpic.twitter.com/gKwhFxczDC

Typhoon Merbok has hit Alaska’s west coast. This storm is MASSIVE! If the storm were to hit the lower 48 states, the following states would be impacted: Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Utah, Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa, and Missouri.
Merbok has a history of winds about 50 to 75 miles per hour. Peak wind speeds may close in on 100 mph. Waves have reached heights of 35 feet. Storm surge has reached upwards of 18 feet. Homes and property have been literally sucked into the ocean. People have been evacuated and have lost their homes.
As the remnants of Typhoon Merbok impacts into Alaska's West Coast, it's important to reference the size of this storm. There are currently Coastal Flood and High Wind Warnings in effect for the West Coast and Western Arctic Coast as the storm tracks up the Bering Strait. #AKwxpic.twitter.com/p6gsXB69oG
Hurricane Fiona is making land fall in Puerto Rico. Fiona was recently a named storm with sustained winds of around 80 mph. President Joe Biden has declared a state of emergency for Puerto Rico. This is a developing and breaking story…
HURRICANE #FIONA has been named just offshore of Puerto Rico. The most dangerous part of the storm is just now coming onshore in Ponce area east. Flash flood warnings already in effect. Expect dangerous mega floods off the steep terrain from up to 20” of rainfall in mountains pic.twitter.com/gUvXApHL4R
Sunday @RoyalCaribbean Tropical Update: Fiona now a Hurricane. Moved Harmony to the west, and we put Allure’s Labadee stop to the back end of the week for safety. Mariner can safely call Labadee on 21st as swell settles that AM. Bermuda, Canada I am watching in the days ahead. pic.twitter.com/EiOgoqcuQd
Typhoon Nanmadol is making landfall in southwest Japan. This is one of the strongest storms on record to hit Japan. Winds are sustained at 150 mph.
More than 8 million people in southern and western Japan have been ordered to evacuate due to Typhoon Nanmadol.Local government officials across Japan sent NHK and others information about the orders that they had issued by 7 p.m. on Sunday.A level 5 alert, the highest on Japan’s disaster warning scale, was issued to more than 330,000 people in about 160,000 households in Kagoshima, Miyazaki and Oita prefectures.A total of nearly 8 million people in about 3.7 million households affected by a level 4 alert were ordered to evacuate in parts of the Kyushu, Shikoku and Chugoku regions.

James 2:14-17 What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can that faith save him? If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food, and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, be warmed and filled,” without giving them the things needed for the body, what good is that? So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.
Please stop and take a moment to think about, send prayers, whatever you can, to those in western Alaska who are impacted by Typhoon Merbok. Then, send more than prayers and thoughts. Find out what you can DO to help your fellow Alaskans. https://t.co/Pp7SaBC68o
On This Week in Prophecy… Russia and Iran have formed a joint venture to launch an Iranian satellite into space. The goal is monitor the climate in Iran for peaceful purposes. It is not illegal because nobody “owns” space… so they say…
Erdogan and Turkey 🇹🇷 have long supported and protected terrorism and enemies of the West. When ISIS retook Mosul, Iraq after the U.S. withdrawal, ISIS stole $300 million cash from the Iraqi Central Bank and ran as fast as they could to Turkey to invest it in Turkish business 1/8 https://t.co/YBX0gsl5uz

Zephaniah 2:4-5 For Gaza shall be deserted, and Ashkelon shall become a desolation; Ashdod’s people shall be driven out at noon, and Ekron shall be uprooted. Woe to you inhabitants of the seacoast, you nation of the Cherethites! The word of the LORD is against you, O Canaan, land of the Philistines; and I will destroy you until no inhabitant is left.
In this edition of The Watchmen… Operation Breaking Dawn was launched on August 5th against Islamic Jihad in the Gaza Strip. Islamic Jihad is an Iranian proxy. The leader of Islamic Jihad had visited Tehran within the week.
As of this post, over 600 rockets have been fired from the Gaza Strip towards Israel.
#OperationBreakingDawn is a response to a real and imminent terrorist threat on Israeli civilians, a terrorist threat backed by Iran.

Ezekiel 38:1-6 Now the word of the Lord came to me, saying, “Son of man, set your face against Gog, of the land of Magog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal, and prophesy against him, and say, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “Behold, I am against you, O Gog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal. I will turn you around, put hooks into your jaws, and lead you out, with all your army, horses, and horsemen, all splendidly clothed, a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords. Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya are with them, all of them with shield and helmet; Gomer and all its troops; the house of Togarmah from the far north and all its troops—many people are with you.

“I’m extremely concerned by the shelling yesterday at Europe’s largest nuclear power plant, which underlines the very real risk of a nuclear disaster,” IAEA Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi.
Turkey’s President Recep Erdogan met with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Sochi, Russia. The result is five Turkish banks agreed to Russia’s Mir payments system. Russia and Turkey agreed to payment in rubles for natural gas. In return, Turkey will get billions of dollars for the construction of a nuclear power plant on the Mediterranean.

Isaiah 17, The Burden of Damascus
In this episode of The Watchmen, it would appear Israel has upped the ante by targeting the Damascus International Airport. Significant damage has occurred to the runways of the airport which resulted in the closing of the airport to commercial and domestic traffic. Russia has voiced their displeasure towards Israel. The concern is the flow of military equipment from Iran to Lebanon and Hezbollah.
The European Commission is proposing a gas deal with Israel via Egypt. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen is traveling to Israel this week to iron a potential gas deal. The goal is “to advance relations between the EU and Israel, especially cooperation in the area of energy. The president will also discuss with Israeli government representatives the global reaction to the food crisis and the situation in the Middle East.”
Meanwhile, the Israeli Navy is standing by drilling rigs as they travel to the Karish gas field in the Mediterranean Sea. Israel looks to continue to expand their production of natural gas.

2 Thessalonians 2:7 For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work. Only he who now restrains it will do so until he is out of the way.
Lawlessness continues to abound. Mexican President López Obrador attempted to blackmail President Biden at the Summit of the Americas. To President Biden’s credit, “We do not believe that dictators should be invited.” However, The International Organization for Migration tells the United States more immigration is coming and deal with it. Meanwhile, governors from Texas and Florida are bickering on how to manage the influx of illegal people coming to the United States. All the while, Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega has allowed Russian troops into the country for training, law enforcement and emergency response. Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro was not invited to Los Angeles for the summit, so Maduro went Tehran to visit President Ebrahim Raisi at the Sa’adabad Palace. Backroom deals galore…
Iran is inching closer to a nuclear bomb.

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!”
Hyperinflated food prices are noted at the onset of the Tribulation. So we continue to watch trends of food inflation. Russian President Vladimir Putin and “Nazis” and others continue to weaponize food by setting grain fields on fire, laying mines in fields and sea ports, and destroying stockpiles of grains in Ukraine.
The list continues to grow in the United States. Ninety-five (95) food processing plants have gone up in flames since President Biden has taken office. The list continues to expand and increase in frequency. This essentially has become a war on poultry. Chickens and turkey plants appear to be the main target with millions upon millions of birds destroyed. The result is a reasonably priced source of protein in eggs and birds are impacted.
Chinese owned Smithfield Farms has announced they are closing business in California due to bureaucratic red tape. Yet another strain on the food supply.

Daniel 2:33 …its legs were iron, and its feet were part iron and part clay.
This is Nebuchadnezzar’s statue from the prophet Daniel. The focus is the last global empire. This has yet to emerge on the scene. The point is to file this information away. It is interesting only because there are 10 nations involved. The Deterring Enemy Forces and Enabling National Defenses (DEFEND) Act has bipartisan support in the House and Senate in the United States. The goal is to create an integrated missile and air defense infrastructure to defend against the Iranians. The bill would allow the US Defense Department to support Israel, Egypt, Jordan, Iraq, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, and Oman. Are we saying this confederation of nations is the group of 10 nations? NO! Just watching with interest.

First and foremost, my apologies for audio quality, sorry.
In this episode of The Watchmen, The Rolling Stone fulfills Peter’s prophetic words. The Rolling Stone offers their take on Evangelical Christians and current affairs as related to the second coming of Jesus Christ.
2 Peter 3:4 They will say, “Where is the promise of his coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all things are continuing as they were from the beginning of creation.”
The Tigris River and the Mosul Dam are back in the news. Water resources are dwindling in Iraq. Farmers are feeling the affects of drought in the region. Turkey has a system of dams impacting the Tigris River valley. Nahum says ancient Nineveh and the river valley eventually get flushed and flooded.
Nahum 1:8 But with an overwhelming flood He will make an end of Nineveh and pursue His enemies into darkness.
Nahum 2:6-8 The river gates are thrown open and the palace collapses. It is decreed that the city be exiled and carried away; her maidservants moan like doves, and beat upon their breasts. Nineveh has been like a pool of water throughout her days, but now it is draining away. “Stop! Stop!” they cry, but no one turns back.
Saudi Arabia and Israel are talking economic agreement regarding a variety of topics The futuristic city of Neom is a consideration. This is a $500 billion investment!!!
Russia is allegedly targeting Ukraine grain stock piles. Food resources continue to be targeted across the United States. Turkey is experiencing run away inflation of up to 75%. Supply chains continue to be disrupted. The cost of food is going up around the planet. Revelation 6 talks of food hyperinflation and a day’s wage to feed a family.
Things are not exactly rosy inside of Iran. Citizens continue to protest against the government.
China is encroaching on Taiwan. Are we getting closer to another geo political event?
Traditional marriage and hate speech… Western society and culture continue to move further away from Judeo Christian values. Does God really have standards for “traditional” marriage? What does God say about same sex marriage and relationships? See Romans 1. Talk with God about it, He is the messenger.

Saudi Arabia and Iran appear to be willing to discuss the idea of normalizing relations. These two nations are in constant conflict and competition throughout the Middle East. Ezekiel 38 states Sheba and Dedan (modern day Saudi Arabia) will protest a future invasion of Israel from Russia, Iran, and others but ultimately do nothing.
