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.

Ezekiel 38 Persia or modern day Iran…

Iran is descending into chaos. Will the Ayatollah’s Shiite regime be overthrown?

Ezekiel 38 Magog, Rosh or modern day Russia…

Russia has launched ballistic missiles on Kyiv and Lviv, Ukraine. Specifically, drones and Oreshnik hypersonic missile.

Revelation 6:6b …and do not harm the oil and wine.

Oil has taken center stage since Maduro has been removed from Venezuela. President Trump is frequently talking about and controlling the flow of oil out of Venezuela.

Jeremiah 49:23 Concerning Damascus: “Hamath and Arpad are confounded, for they have heard bad news; they melt in fear, they are troubled like the sea that cannot be quiet.

Kurds and Syrians have engaged in the northern town of Syria, Aleppo. This near ancient Arpad. The prophet Jeremiah states trouble will start north of Damascus and work its way south.

Isaiah 1:23 Your rulers are rebels and companions of thieves; Everyone loves a bribe and chases after gifts. They do not obtain justice for the orphan, nor does the widow’s case come before them.

Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro Charged In New York

Posted in #PaulthePoke, Prophecy, Trend Update with tags , , , , , , on January 3, 2026 by paulthepoke

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.”

Below are prepared comments from the Trump Press Conference regarding last night’s events in Venezuela.

Habakkuk 1:5 Look among the nations, and see; wonder and be astounded. For I am doing a work in your days that you would not believe if told.

Our world just changed over night…

This Week in Prophecy: Eternal Life; Pharmakeia; Free Speech; Blood Red Moon Over Israel

Posted in #PaulthePoke, Culture, Prophecy, Signs: Sun, Moon, Stars..., Trend Update with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , on September 7, 2025 by paulthepoke

Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Only one way to eternal life boys…

These two have no regard for the lives of others. They determine who lives as they see it. China has a rich history of organ harvesting, allegedly. All they are thinking about are themselves.

By the way, you both are mortal. And you will meet your Maker.

Revelation 18:23 and the light of a lamp will shine in you no more, and the voice of bridegroom and bride will be heard in you no more, for your merchants were the great ones of the earth, and all nations were deceived by your sorcery.

The focus is on the word “sorcery“. This is the Greek word φαρμακεία/pharmakeia. In English, this is where we get the word “pharmacy”. It is used 2 times in the New Testament. In both cases, many translators use the word “sorcery“.

φαρμακεία/pharmakeia can also be translated as: the use of drugs, potions, and enchantments; poisoning; the occult, witchcraft; the remedy, the cure.

One of the reasons Mystery Babylon is destroyed is because of φαρμακεία/pharmakeia.

The end result of φαρμακεία/pharmakeia… destruction.

Galatians 5:1 For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.

2 Corinthians 3:17 Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.

In light of these two verses, it makes one wonder about the spiritual state of the United Kingdom.

British comedian Graham Linehan was arrested upon arrival at Heathrow Airport.

Exodus 15:4 Pharaoh’s chariots and army He has cast into the sea; the finest of his officers are drowned in the Red Sea.

The free flow of information via the internet was disrupted in the Red Sea.

Joel 2:31 The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of the great and awesome Day of the LORD.

It is the season of Teshuvah and a lunar eclipse or a blood red moon is coming to Israel tonight.

This particular total lunar eclipse will last from 17:30 GMT to 18:52 GMT, making it visible across a significant portion of the globe. People in Asia, including India and China, will experience the best viewing conditions for the total eclipse. The phenomenon will also be visible on the eastern edge of Africa and in western Australia.

For observers in Israel, the eclipse timeline unfolds as follows:

  • 6:28 p.m.: Partial eclipse begins (though the Moon rises at 6:51 p.m. in Israel)
  • 8:30 p.m. – 9:52 p.m.: Total eclipse phase, with the Moon appearing deep red
  • 9:12 p.m.: Eclipse reaches its peak
  • 11:55 p.m.: Eclipse concludes entirely

This Week in Prophecy: Hostage Exchange, Black Sea Weather, Red Sea Pirates, Venezuela Invading?

Posted in #PaulthePoke, Ezekiel 38-39, Gaza Strip/Philistia, Prophecy, Trend Update with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , on November 29, 2023 by paulthepoke

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.

Here is the latest from the Gaza Strip. The hostage exchanges are coming to a close. Well, maybe… The truce and hostage exchange has been extended another two days.

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/live-blog/israel-hamas-war-live-updates-hostages-rcna126751

Ezekiel 38:22-23 I will execute judgment upon him with plague and bloodshed. I will pour out torrents of rain, hailstones, fire, and sulfur on him and on his troops and on the many nations with him. I will magnify and sanctify Myself, and will reveal Myself in the sight of many nations. Then they will know that I am the LORD.

The events above are not the fulfillment of Ezekiel 38. The context of those verses are modern day northern Israel in and around the Golan Heights. This is a little taste of what is to come for Magog, modern day Russia, and friends (Turkey, Iran, Libya, Sudan, Ethiopia, others and proxies).

Russia and Turkey are looking to have a natural gas hub in Turkey. Russia’s Gazprom and Turkey’s Botas are working together.

“I am sure that agreements on the practical implementation of this project will be reached in the near future,” Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak.

Psalm 136:15 …but overthrew Pharaoh and his host in the Red Sea, for His steadfast love endures forever…

A friendly reminder to those who want to mess with the Israelites in the Red Sea…

Terrorist and pirate activity in the Red Sea is increasing. The Iranian backed Houthis are hijacking ships, especially those they believe belong to or have ties with Israel.

~

And there will be wars and rumors of wars… -Jesus

Rumor has it Venezuela is looking to invade Guyana. Brazil is mobilizing troops to their northern border. South America is getting more interesting. Oil and gas are at the heart of the matter.
