UN Security Council Votes for Ceasefire in Gaza

Posted in #PaulthePoke, Gaza Strip/Philistia, Prophecy, Trend Update with tags , , , , , , , , , , on March 25, 2024 by paulthepoke

Zechariah 12:1-4 The oracle of the word of the Lord concerning Israel: Thus declares the Lord, who stretched out the heavens and founded the earth and formed the spirit of man within him: “Behold, I am about to make Jerusalem a cup of staggering to all the surrounding peoples. The siege of Jerusalem will also be against Judah. On that day I will make Jerusalem a heavy stone for all the peoples. All who lift it will surely hurt themselves. And all the nations of the earth will gather against it. On that day, declares the Lord, I will strike every horse with panic, and its rider with madness. But for the sake of the house of Judah I will keep my eyes open, when I strike every horse of the peoples with blindness.

The prophets spoke of a time when Israel would be isolated against the world. At this time, under the current Biden Administration. Israel has no support.

The abstention was the United States. This is a change in US policy towards Israel.

Vice President Harris has weighed in on the issue. She and the Administration have been “clear”. The invasion of Rafah would be a “huge mistake”.

“I am ruling out nothing…” in regards to consequences to Israel.

Keep in mind, VP Harris is married to a Jewish man, Douglas Emhoff.

Below is the map VP Harris has been studying.

Zechariah 14:2-3 For I will gather all the nations against Jerusalem to battle, and the city shall be taken and the houses plundered and the women raped. Half of the city shall go out into exile, but the rest of the people shall not be cut off from the city. Then the Lord will go out and fight against those nations as when he fights on a day of battle.

The world would like to divide Jerusalem in the event of a Palestinian state. East Jerusalem would be the capital.

We have already seen this in the communities that border the Gaza Strip. This is exactly what happened on October 7, 2023… the houses plundered and the women raped. The prophet Zechariah says this will happen again in the future in Jerusalem. Other prophets include Judah in the south as well.

~

The context of Ezekiel 7 is judgment on the land of Israel. Judgment is being rendered against violence or “hamas“.

Ezekiel 7:11 Violence has grown up into a rod of wickedness. None of them shall remain, nor their abundance, nor their wealth; neither shall there be preeminence among them.

Ezekiel 7:23 Forge a chain! For the land is full of bloody crimes and the city is full of violence.

Ezekiel 7:25 When anguish comes, they will seek peace, but there shall be none.

Are we witnessing the ultimate fulfillment of this prophecy? Time will tell.

This Week in Prophecy: UNRWA in Gaza, Sidon, Red Sea, #7

Posted in #PaulthePoke, Prophecy, Trend Update with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on February 25, 2024 by paulthepoke

Amos 1:6-7 This is what the LORD says: “For three transgressions of Gaza, even four, I will not revoke My judgment, because they exiled a whole population, delivering them up to Edom. So I will send fire upon the walls of Gaza, to consume its citadels.

Per the United Nations Relief and Work Agency (UNRWA) website… UNRWA human development and humanitarian services encompass primary and vocational education, primary health care, relief and social services, infrastructure and camp improvement, microfinance and emergency response, including in situations of armed conflict.

Turns out, UNRWA is providing human and technical resources to Hamas in Gaza.

Psalm 136:13 To Him who divided the Red Sea in two, for His mercy endures forever…

The United States is approaching six weeks of bombing against the Houthis in Yemen. The Red Sea remains closed.

As of February 21, 2024, The Houthis have launched 57 attacks. United States posturing and comments seems to indicate this situation is not going to stop any time soon.

“I think we need to recognize that CENTCOM has been starved of the kinds of assets they need to do this work for a while… We need to make a commitment to giving CENTCOM more of these resources, and then I think they’ll be more effective in these tasks,” retired General Frank McKenzie.

https://english.alarabiya.net/News/middle-east/2024/02/21/America-s-next-long-term-conflict-the-campaign-to-deter-Yemen-s-Iran-backed-Houthis

The British registered tanker Rubymar was attacked by the Houthis. The event took place in the Bab el-Mandeb Strait between the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden. The result was an 18 mile oil slick along with 41,000 tons of fertilizer being spilled into the ocean.

This Week in Prophecy: International Court of Justice, Erdogan in Action, Russia & Alaska, Taiwan Strait

Zechariah 2:8 For the LORD of armies says this: “After glory He has sent me against the nations that plunder you, for the one who touches you, touches the apple of His eye.

Israel has been on trial at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) at The Hague this past week. Israel has been charged with genocide against the people of the Gaza Strip by South Africa. The ICJ is the highest court of the United Nations.

“The ICJ judges assessed the facts and the law, they ruled in favor of humanity and international law,” Palestinian Foreign Minister Riyad al-Maliki.

The United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNWRA) has a problem. Israel has indicated that members of the UNWRA were involved in the October 7 Hamas massacre of Israeli citizens. An undisclosed number of UNRWA workers have been relieved of their positions.

The United States has temporarily stopped funding to UNWRA. As of today, Finland, Britain, Italy, Australia, and Canada have also stopped monetary support. See the press statement below from the State Department.

Ezekiel 38-39 Meshech, Tubal, Gomer, and Beth Togarmah… We know these ancient names as modern day Turkey. President Recep Erdogan has been busy this past week.

January 24, 2024: President Erdogan hosted Iranian President Raisi in Ankara. Both of these leaders supported charges of genocide against Israel. Both Turkey and Iran do not recognize Hamas as a terrorist organization.

“What is happening in Palestine and Gaza is a crime against humanity… and the United States and the West are supporting these crimes. Cutting economic and political ties with this regime can certainly have an impact on the Zionist regime to end its crimes.” -President Ebrahim Raisi, Iran

Iran (Shia) and Turkey (Sunni) disagree in the management of Syria. Iran is supportive President Bashar al Assad of Syria.

This Week in Prophecy: Hamas & The Red Heifer, Gaza, Red Sea & Houthis, Iran, Russia & NATO, World Economic Forum

Posted in #PaulthePoke, Ezekiel 38-39, Gaza Strip/Philistia, Persia/Elam/Iran, Prophecy, Trend Update with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on January 20, 2024 by paulthepoke

Numbers 19:1-2 Then the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying, “This is the statute of the law which the Lord has commanded, saying, ‘Speak to the sons of Israel that they bring you an unblemished red heifer in which is no defect and on which a yoke has never been placed.

Hamas and Red Heifers: How does Hamas know about the Red Heifer? Why does Hamas care about the Red Heifer? Don’t kid yourself. Hamas is acutely aware of the significance of the Red Heifer.

“We look back 100 days to remember the educated, the complicit, and the incapacitated among the world powers governed by the law of the jungle, reminding them of an aggression that reached its peak against our path (Al-Quds) and Al-Aqsa, with the start of its actual temporal and spatial division, and the ‘bringing of red cows’ as an application of a detestable religious myth designed for aggression against the feelings of an entire nation in the heart of its Arab identity, and the path of its prophet (the Night Journey) and Ascension to heaven.” -Abu Obeida, Military Spokesman, Al-Qassam Brigades, Hamas

https://www.israel365news.com/382489/hamas-spokesman-oct-7-attack-launched-to-stop-the-red-heifers

We have years of articles regarding the Red Heifer. Click on the link below for the recent journey and prophetic implications of the Red Heifer. https://paulthepoke.com/?s=red+heifer

Per oral traditions as related by the Temple Institute, a heifer is at least 3 or 4 years old. So the earliest, said red heifer could be sacrificed would be 14 months from now??? That roughly would give us a target of September 2024 for the earliest sacrifice. Rosh Hashanah 5785/2024 begins at sunset Wednesday, October 2nd.

The world’s wealthy and elite met this past week in Davos, Switzerland to discuss ideas about the micromanagement of the planet and its population.

Some of the topics discussed, but not limited to, this week in Switzerland included: Central Bank Digital Currencies, Digital ID’s, vaccines, Disease X, elimination of meat as a food source, eating bugs, climate change, war on farming, nuclear energy and of course of peace.

These people are obsessed with the world’s food sources. They want their grubby little fingers in every aspect of our lives.

Matthew 23:27 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside, but on the inside are full of dead men’s bones and every kind of impurity. In the same way, on the outside you appear to be righteous, but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness.

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.

There are estimated to be over 300 miles of tunnels below the ground of the Gaza Strip. At the heart of the tunnel system is the Al Shifa Hospital.

The following is from Amir Tsarfati of Behold Israel on Telegram. https://t.me/beholdisraelchannel

Recent Situational Reports exchanged between the U.S. and Israel, obtained by our team, have provided unprecedented insights into the tunnel system beneath Gaza.

The IDF estimates there are 1,300 tunnels spanning 500 km beneath Gaza. The tunnel system has multiple levels.

Level One: Entry and launch locations inside buildings for personnel and rocket launches.

Level Two: Reinforced passageways for rocket transport and maneuvering

Level Three: Houses the Oxygen Generation and Air Movement system generator.

Level Four: Meeting and sleeping rooms for Hamas fighters

Level Five: Main Gaza Metro connecting city blocks/sections

Level Six: Storage for weapons, ammunition, and fuel, with doors always closed for safety

Level Seven: Additional storage and sleeping rooms

Level Eight: Command and Control Center for Hamas, connected via a hard landline, with a quick escape tunnel to the Gaza Metro for senior leaders’ evacuation

Exodus 20:16 You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.

And the main stream media wonders why some folks don’t find them credible. These are the same people who lecture the world about “fact checkers” and “truth”.

A couple of nights ago, the world was lead to believe that Israel had bombed a hospital in the Gaza Strip killing over 500 and destroying the hospital. The incident occurred in the dark of the night.

Former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett took to X and posted some comments.

Then, the sun came up and shed some light on the situation.

Below is evidence presented by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) with time stamps and GPS coordinates. Outlines of the buildings and structures are provided as well.

This Week in Prophecy: Pope Denies Hell; Russia; China; Banking Woes

Matthew 10:28 “And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.” -Jesus

See also Luke 12:5, Revelation 20:14, 15, 21:8 (Lake of Fire)

Pope Francis denies the physical existence of Hell.

Hell is not a place. If one goes to attend the Last Judgment, and sees the faces of those who go to Hell, one gets scared. If you read Dante, you get scared. But these are media representations.

Hell is a state, there are people who live in Hell continuously.” -Pope Francis

With these comments, along with others, the Vatican went into spin mode.

All official, final texts of the Holy Father are found on the Vatican website,” and since they were never published by the Holy See Press Office they “should not be considered official texts.” -Holy See Press Office

Leviticus 19:36 You shall have honest scales, honest weights, an honest ephah, and an honest hin: I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt.

God wants honesty when it comes to economic matters.

The last couple of weeks in financial markets and global economics has been rocky. In the last two business weeks 5 banks have crashed. The United States has witnessed two of its largest bank failures in history.

Moody’s Investor Service has downgraded the entire United States banking system to negative.

We have changed to negative from stable our outlook on the US banking system to reflect the rapid deterioration in the operating environment following deposit runs at Silicon Valley Bank (SVB), Silvergate Bank, and Signature Bank (SNY) and the failures of SVB and SNY.” -Moody’s

The banks in the United States includes: Silvergate Bank, Silicon Valley Bank, Signature Bank, and First Republic Bank. The mess has made its way across the Atlantic to Europe. Switzerland’s Credit Suisse required a bailout from the Swiss government.

The US Department of Treasury decided to insure all depositors in banks that expose a “systemic risk exception”, even those above the insured threshold of $250,000. The two banks who meet this “exception” include Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank. All depositors were “made whole”.

https://home.treasury.gov/news/press-releases/jy1337

This “exception” appears to be on a case by case basis as decided by the boards of the FDIC, the Federal Reserve, President Biden, Secretary of the Treasury Janet L. Yellen.

During hearings with the Senate, Oklahoma Senator James Lankford (R) pressed Secretary Yellen. This exchange was extraordinary.

Banks only get the treatment if the failure to protected uninsured depositors would create systemic risk.” -Secretary of the Treasury Janet L. Yellen

PLEASE WATCH!

If a bank does not meet the threshold of “exception” and one has deposits over the FDIC insured amount of $250,000 in said bank, tough! No bailout for you!

Plan Accordingly!!!

Money is flying out of smaller banks and being deposited into Tier 1 Wall Street banks. These Tier 1 banks include JP Morgan, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, and Citigroup. And the rich get richer.

Will Federal Reserve Board Chair Jerome Powell raise interest rates next week?

The Debt Limit deadline looms some time around April 2023. The United States has wracked up $31.4 trillion in debt (31,400,000,000,000). Secretary Yellen has already warned Congress that if the Debt Limit is not increased, it would be crushing to the banking system.

Buckle up! This is going to get rough!

Is all of this dishonesty in the banking industry reaching a tipping point? God says judgment is ultimately coming.

Micah 6:11-13 Can I excuse dishonest scales or bags of false weights? For the wealthy of the city are full of violence, and its residents speak lies; their tongues are deceitful in their mouths. Therefore I am striking you severely, to ruin you because of your sins. -The LORD God
