War With Hezbollah Appears Imminent

The signs seem to point to a war breaking out between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon. It’s estimated that Hezbollah has over 130,000 missiles supplied by Iran and pointed at Israel.  For its part, Israel is evacuating towns on the border with Lebanon. All this news does make me wonder if Psalm 83 is more than a prayer.  Some watchers insist it’s a prophecy.  It names all the people groups on Israel’s current borders and Lebanon and Gaza are included in that list. 

 With one mind they plot together;

they form an alliance against you—

6 the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites,
    of Moab and the Hagrites,
7 Byblos, Ammon and Amalek,
    Philistia, with the people of Tyre.
8 Even Assyria has joined them
    to reinforce Lot’s descendants

Tyre is in Lebanon and Philistia is the Gaza area.

It makes you wonder.  Some say that the fulfillment of Psalm 83 is what leads to Ezekiel 38.  

***********************************

Based on what they have been hearing from the Iranians, the Saudis must believe that a war between Israel and Hezbollah is imminent, because they have instructed their citizens to leave Lebanon immediately…

Saudi Arabia calls on its citizens to abide by the travel advisory to Lebanon and for those in the country to immediately leave.

The Saudi Embassy in Lebanon said it was closely following developments in south Lebanon, “calling on all citizens to adhere to the travel ban and to leave Lebanese territory immediately for those who are currently in Lebanon.”

The U.S. State Department also seems convinced that big trouble is brewing…

The US is elevating its travel advisory and allowing non-emergency personnel to leave Lebanon after the embassy in Beirut was targeted by Pro-Palestinian protestors who started a fire at the complex.

US military groups deployed smoke and gas to disperse the protestors who gathered at the embassy following an attack on a hospital in Gaza. Hours after the protests began, the State Department issued the travel advisory.

‘The Department authorized the voluntary, temporary departure of family members of US government personnel and some non-emergency personnel from US Embassy Beirut due to the unpredictable security situation in Lebanon,’ the announcement read.

US Military May be Used to Fight Hezbollah if They Enter War Against Israel

 It certainly seems like the WARS AND RUMORS OF WAR column is filling up.

As we know, Hamas attacked Israel and killed over 1000 people.  For population comparison, that would be the equivalent of 30,000 Americans being killed by terrorists in one morning.  That's a big deal.  Do you think Americans would be shocked, saddened and angry?

Hamas took hostages and I'm guessing they are using them as human shields and maybe even will start killing them on TV to try and twist actions.  Hezbollah, a sister terror group in Lebanon, has threatened to attack Israel if Israel decides to invade Gaza.  And now the USA has moved aircraft carrier into the area and may have already warned Hezbollah to keep their fingers off the triggers OR ELSE!

Remember that Hezbollah and Hamas are getting funded by Iran.

We are witnessing an old-fashioned standoff in the Middle East right now.  The IDF was supposed to have sent thousands of troops storming into Gaza by now, but threats from Hezbollah and Iran have caused Israeli officials to pause.  

Do the Israelis really want to fight an extremely bloody two front war?  Iran has actually brought up the possibility of "pre-emptive action", but that would inevitably spark a military response from the United States.  

Do the Iranians really want to fight the U.S. military?  There are some that are hoping that this standoff will ultimately allow cooler heads to prevail, but I see it as the calm before the storm.

And on Tuesday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu certainly did not sound like a man that is ready to back down...

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, while speaking alongside German Chancellor Olaf Scholz at a news conference on Tuesday, described Hamas as "the new Nazis," and called on the world to unite and eradicate the terrorist organization the same way it defeated the Nazis.

During his remarks, Netanyahu also stated that the atrocities that Hamas just committed were "the worst crimes committed against Jews since the Holocaust"...

Hamas-led forces crossed the Israel-Gaza border Oct. 7, slaughtering 1,400 Israeli men, women, children and elderly in what has become the deadliest terror attack in Israel's history.

"The savagery we witnessed perpetrated by the Hamas murderers coming out of Gaza were the worst crimes committed against Jews since the Holocaust," Netanyahu said during the news conference.

If the Israeli government were to decide not to invade Gaza, Netanyahu would almost inevitably be forced to resign in disgrace.

The Israeli people want Hamas to be destroyed, and that means going into Gaza.

But if that happens, it will likely mean a two front war.

In fact, Iran's foreign minister has even suggested that there could be "pre-emptive action" even before the IDF sends troops pouring into Gaza...

"The possibility of pre-emptive action by the resistance axis is expected in the coming hours," Iran's foreign minister, Hossein Amir-Abdollahian said in a live broadcast to state TV, as he referred to his meeting with Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah on Saturday.

Earlier Monday, Iran's top diplomat and president, Ebrahim Raisi had said time was running out to reach a political solution and warned against the expansion of the Israel-Hamas war to other fronts.

Amir-Abdollahian said Monday that "the resistance leaders" will not allow Israel "to do whatever it wants in Gaza".

Iranian leaders like to make dramatic statements, but I have never seen them talk quite like this.

For example, just check out some of the statements that Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei just made in front of the entire world...

- "We MUST Respond to What is Happening in Gaza"

- "The usurper Zionist regime must be prosecuted."

- "This should be realized by those who want Iran to stop certain Resistance groups, and they shouldn't have any expectation from us."

- "All parties should refrain from asking anyone to prevent a group from taking steps in response to the crimes of the Zionists"

- "Our numerous intelligence reports show that the US is formulating the Zionist regime's current policy, and what is being done is governed by US policymaking. The US must be held responsible for this situation."

- "If the crimes of the Zionist entity continue, no one will be able to stand up to Muslims and the resistance forces."

- "Whatever crimes the Zionist regime commits will fail to compensate for its disgraceful defeat during the Al-Aqsa Storm operation."

So when Israeli forces finally go into Gaza, what will the Iranian response look like?

In fact, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken has already told Arab leaders that we are "not fooling around"...

Two U.S. officials said Secretary of State Antony Blinken told Arab leaders in the region, with whom he'd met in recent days, that the U.S. "is not fooling around" by sending so many military assets to the region in support of Israel.

At this hour, two U.S. aircraft carriers and thousands of troops are in the eastern Mediterranean waiting for orders...

The United States is sending an amphibious task force of thousands of U.S. sailors and Marines toward Israel, where they will be positioned aboard warships in case the conflict there with Hamas expands.

Two defense officials, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss planned military movements, said Monday that the Bataan Amphibious Ready Group, numbering more than 4,000 sailors and Marines, will join a growing American fleet off the coast of Israel that will include two aircraft carriers and their associated escort ships.

The 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit, based at Camp Lejeune, N.C., is deployed with the amphibious task force and trained for a wide array of missions, including some special operations. The USS Bataan and the USS Carter Hall, two of the warships carrying personnel from the unit, were in the Gulf of Oman on Monday, having left Kuwait recently after Hamas's unprecedented cross-border attack on Israel on Oct. 7.

Once Israeli troops move into Gaza, we are going to see who was bluffing and who was not.

Unfortunately, I think that we will quickly realize that almost all of the threats being made on both sides were actually real.

Nations will quickly take sides and it appears both Russia and China are prepared to cause trouble for the US should it get involved in the conflict.

The Great Middle East War is here, and it is going to be extremely bloody.

The Great Tribulation is Flying at Us Like a Meteor

I had the opportunity to speak at our adult Sunday school the past few weeks on 2 Thessalonians.  We talked about the 70th Week of Daniel, the Time of Jacobs Trouble, the rapture, the restrainer being removed and the revealing of the Antichrist.  It’s always nice to get confirmation that other believers are seeing and saying the same things you are.  So enjoy this article and think on eternal things.  And for sure keep looking up.

**********************************

So many things are happening all at once. The fulfillment of end-times Bible prophecy is everywhere. Civilization is coming unglued, and fear is being promoted and experienced to the four corners and farthest reaches of the globe.

The 70th Week of Daniel and the Time of Jacob’s Trouble are both familiar terms that describe a seven-year period of Tribulation that is like a giant meteor speeding toward the earth, and it is now in plain sight, and nothing can stop it.

The Tribulation is a time that Jesus Himself said would be the worst time in the history of the world and more terrible than it would ever be again at any time in the future. He even said that if He were to not intervene, no flesh would be saved. With technology being what it is, the insane mindset of many world leaders, and wannabe tyrants of the religious and political kind, it is not hard to understand why Jesus said that.

The Book of Revelation makes it crystal clear that between Satan and his minions pulling out all the stops in regard to wickedness and destruction, combined with the wrath of God being poured out on a desperately evil, God-hating, Christ-rejecting, and unrepentant world, this planet is not going to be safe for anyone anywhere.

Jesus also compares the last days, just before the rapture of the remnant church, to birth pains. Birth pains, most of us know, come more frequently as the time approaches for the actual birth.

There will come a moment when the birth pains will end, and a birth will occur. That moment of new birth is very near, as is the Tribulation hurtling toward us from the future. It is as if the two are on a collision course.

Something has got to give.

That something is about to take place, and it will alter the lives of everyone on Earth forever. This is true for the saved and for the unsaved, though the future will be quite different for those two groups.

Who are the saved? We who believe that Jesus died for our sins and then rose from the dead. We who trust in Him for our salvation. We who know by revelation of the Holy Spirit that He truly is the Way and the Truth and the Life, and no one comes to the Father except through Him and Him alone (John 14:6).

We who believe in His promise that those of us who love Him are not appointed to the wrath of God, which will be poured out upon the wicked during the seven-year Tribulation (Revelation 3:10).

In John 14:2, about 2,000 years ago, Jesus made a promise to all who believed in Him and all who would come to believe in Him during the 2,000 years to pass before His return. He said, “In my Father’s house are many mansions, and if that were not so, I would have told you; and so, I go to prepare a place for you and will return to take you to where I am, so that you may be there also.” When the birth pains run their course, Jesus will call us to be with Him, just as described in 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17.

When this happens, the restrainer of evil, the Holy Spirit, will also be removed from the task of restraining, and thus evil will be unrestrained. The door will then swing wide open for the 70th Week of Daniel to begin. The “Tribulation.”

As for the unsaved, who are they? Satan and all of the fallen angels operating as demons. All humans who have allowed themselves to become possessed by demons and then committed evil with the demons at the helm. All those who have supported acts of evil while calling those evil acts good.

As well as all mockers of God and all those who have rejected the free gift of salvation and chosen not to believe that Jesus is who He Himself says He is. The Way, the Truth, and the Life. Those also who chose to believe in false gods, or arrogantly and foolishly, chose to believe that they themselves are god.

Bible prophecy, and especially Jesus Himself, make it perfectly clear that Satan and all who have come under his sway will become more and more wicked as the Tribulation looms near, and they will continue on that downward spiral as the earth enters into the seven years of reckoning.

We are already seeing what (in your face) truly barbaric wickedness looks like. There has always been wickedness, at least since the fall of man; however, it either made efforts to hide itself, or you heard about some atrocity well after it happened. Or, you might never have heard about it at all due to it happening far away. Today’s technology has changed all that, along with the devil knowing he has but a short time left.

The devil is revealing depravity on a level that is truly shocking.

Now, a demon-possessed yet tech-savvy group like Hamas can livestream themselves slaughtering innocent unarmed men, women, and children in real-time and broadcast it on social media to everyone with a computer or a cell phone. Nearly everyone has a cell phone.

They can livestream themselves torturing and setting elderly people on fire and raping women right before either murdering them in cold blood or dragging them off by the hair as hostages.

The topper of it all, and the unimaginable hellish level that such evil creatures will sink to, is they can livestream themselves murdering babies and chopping their heads off. The unthinkable is now happening.

This is real, folks. It is not a Stephen King horror movie.

What is on display here are the most vile, sickening, and heartbreaking acts of evil. And it’s right before our eyes and in real-time.

These are no longer human beings who commit such atrocities. They may be in human bodies, but their minds and hearts are 100% demon-possessed. Those who would give themselves over to evil on this level are no different than a demon horde or an army of Orcs, like those hideous creatures in the Fellowship of the Ring movies. They cannot be reasoned with, nor can they be appeased.

We can expect more of this and in more places around the world because, as we can also see, these murder-loving terrorists have groups of dimwitted reprobates cheering them on. Reprobates devoid of any compassion for the actual victims in Israel.

This is happening worldwide, including here in the USA in some Islamic communities and on college campuses like Harvard, Brown, Columbia, Stanford, Cal Berkley, and several other universities where students have been thoroughly brainwashed by Marxists and misinformed with out-and-out false/rewritten history.

But it is not only the Islamic terrorists. There are tens of thousands (probably a few million) thugs on the payrolls of those who rule nations, and those globalist elitists who seek to rule the world. Some call these thugs mercenaries. Many of these thugs wear official uniforms while fully maintaining a thug mentality. Multiple thousands of these thugs are highly trained in the arts of intimidation, torture, and the killing of Human Beings.

The religious thugs generally commit atrocities for a cause because they are fully brainwashed and/or demon-possessed. The non-Islamic kind of thugs in most parts of the world do it because they are well paid and because, being morally bankrupt, they enjoy the thug life and especially enjoy physically hurting people. Or because they fear losing their jobs and are unwilling to stand up for righteous principles.

It is almost as if the Islamic terrorists — with Hamas leaders now calling for a worldwide jihadist uprising in support of the vile, depraved monsters and their supporters who think it is just fine to behead babies — are competing with the vile, depraved global elitist monsters with their genocidal goals of depopulation and the total abolishment of freedom to see who can sink to the lowest depths of satanic wickedness.

If it were a horse race, they would be running side by side.

The Tribulation will be filled with horror and violence. It will end at the Second Coming of Jesus, when as the Lion of the Tribe of Judah, and with supernatural powers on the scale of speaking creation into existence, Jesus will bring the final curtain down on this chapter of man’s love affair with evil, lust for power, greed, stupidity, and cruelty.

The birth pains are now only a minute apart, and the Tribulation is like a meteor speeding straight at us.

All of this talk about the hideous ugliness of evil and the depraved souls who embrace it and wallow in it is the bad news. The good news is you don’t have to be here for the soon-to-come even more terrible times. But time is quickly running out to call on the Lord Jesus.

Romans 10:9-10 shows the way: “Confess with your mouth that ‘Jesus is Lord’ and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, and you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and with your mouth that you confess and are saved.”

How much more vividly fulfilled do the prophetic signs need to be to cause the sleeping masses of the lost and unsaved to wake up? Turn to Jesus today. Do not wait until tomorrow. The baby is about to crown, and the meteor is about to strike.

In Luke 21:28, Jesus says, “When these things begin to take pace, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.”

Trust in Jesus 100% and fear not.

It won’t be long, for redemption is indeed near, and every single day this side of the Rapture, we comfort each other with these words.

Jesus is the Lord of All.

Is China Going to Continue Paying Its Bills?

 We’ve all been hearing that China is going to control the next century because they are turning into a massive economy that will soon surpass the USA.  But not so fast.  They might not be able to pay their bills a whole lot longer.  History shows us that when nations are having serious internal problems they may look to start a war so the people quit focusing on internal and start projections their anger on the external.  Don’t be surprised if China invades Taiwan amid all this Middle East drama.  It would be the smart thing to do.  Would America get into a ground, sea and air war with China if that happened tomorrow?  Probably not.  And China most likely realizes that.

**************************

“A government may write a contract with a company to get a loan of, say, 100 million yuan,” Stevenson-Yang says, adding that it might be presented “as a land sale.”

“There’s an understanding that the land will be turned back once the money is repaid, but that understanding may not be written down.”

Adds Stevenson-Yang, “I think the problem is just too big to resolve.”

An accurate measure of off-the-books debt would be a tall order, says Dexter Roberts, director of China affairs at the Mansfield Center at the University of Montana and a senior fellow at the Atlantic Council.

“What we do know is that it is very large and growing,” Roberts says.  

“Beijing does seem determined to avoid the moral hazard of bailing out local governments. The trouble with that is the indebtedness of local governments has become so severe that it is spilling over and affecting many regular Chinese as well, as is true with elderly who are seeing their pension payments delayed or civil servants who aren’t getting paid on time.”

In short, the debt that’s weighing down the former Chinese growth juggernaut has to settle somewhere and it will be likely to fall on the heads of those least likely to be able to afford it.

“The people of China,” says Stevenson-Yang.

She adds, speaking on the question of how Beijing might approach the problem: “I have no idea what their plan is other than to hide head in sand. I actually think they are bureaucratically stuck.”

Economist Michael Pettis commented in a tweet thread, on the social media platform now known as X, that it would probably be best if Beijing provides only temporary relief while forcing local governments to resolve the debt themselves.”

The “extremely difficult bind” local governments found themselves in, with dwindling revenue that crimps ability to repay debts, was due to a confluence of factors, says Roberts. 

“The pandemic lockdowns plus crackdown on the overleveraged property sector which was probably necessary but has been so damaging to the overall economy, plus the drop in incomes and the ability to spend brought on by the overall economic hard times.”

Oxford’s Magnus says, “The central government has seemingly started sending inspectors in to get a proper picture of local government debt, and there is talk from finance pros and some policy people about debt swaps, under which expensive local government debt would be swapped for cheaper central government bonds.

“This would, at best, buy a bit of time, but it’s just replacing debt with debt and doesn’t really solve the problem.”

In the meantime, China’s private property giants – Evergrande, Country Garden and Vanke, among others, continue to reel in a market with no takers. Local governments that have indebted themselves on the basis of property assets that are now overvalued and will not be bailed out from on high are in a bind.

“Emigrate,” said J Capital Research’s Stevenson-Yang when asked what she might do if she was running an indebted local government in China.

The Wishes of Hamas, Hezbollah and Iran Will Not Come to Pass

 I posted this article by Amir Tsarfati in its entirety because it’s such an awesome promise.  For those Christians who believe God is done with Israel and that the gentile Christians have gone on to become spiritual Israel and claim all the promises God made to Israel, they are just wrong on so many levels.  The miracles surrounding Israel during the major wars against her waged by Arab nations, should offer enough proof of the fact that God is not done with Israel.  Furthermore, when He brings them back to the Land, which happened over the past 130 years, they will never cease to be a nation of Israel.  The Muslims don’t worship the God of Israel so they have no clue what they are going to be fighting against.

**********************

As we watch the atrocities unfold in Israel and mourn the devastating loss of life, our minds ask the questions, “How long oh Lord? How much longer will evil bring pain and suffering into this world and impact the lives of your people?” 

John 16:33 KJV – “These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.”

Knowing we will have tribulation in this life is not a comforting thought. Knowing He (Jesus) has overcome the world reminds us that this tribulation-filled life and world are temporary. Yet in the midst of our current status as strangers and pilgrims in a world that is largely against Jews and Christians, there are important reminders for us of the faithfulness of God in this life.

Jeremiah 31:35-37 KJV – “Thus saith the Lord, which giveth the sun for a light by day, and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, which divideth the sea when the waves thereof roar; The Lord of hosts is his name: If those ordinances depart from before me, saith the Lord, then the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before me for ever. Thus saith the Lord; If heaven above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath, I will also cast off all the seed of Israel for all that they have done, saith the Lord.”

The wishes of Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran will not come to pass. The Jews will not be driven into the sea. Israel will not cease being a nation, says the Lord.

Ezekiel 36:20-24 KJV – “And when they entered unto the heathen, whither they went, they profaned my holy name, when they said to them, These are the people of the Lord, and are gone forth out of his land. But I had pity for mine holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the heathen, whither they went. Therefore say unto the house of Israel, thus saith the Lord God; I do not this for your sakes, O house of Israel, but for mine holy name’s sake, which ye have profaned among the heathen, whither ye went. And I will sanctify my great name, which was profaned among the heathen, which ye have profaned in the midst of them; and the heathen shall know that I am the Lord, saith the Lord God, when I shall be sanctified in you before their eyes. For I will take you from among the heathen, and gather you out of all countries, and will bring you into your own land.”

Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran, and those supporting their efforts to destroy the Jews and the nation of Israel, are fighting against the plan of God, but they will not prevail. For the Jews to be outside of their national homeland profaned the name of the Lord, so He brought them back for His name’s sake, He will not allow them to be destroyed, for His name’s sake. They will not be uprooted from their national homeland, for His name’s sake. As glorious as this truth is and as important as it is to remember, we cannot forget that people are dying at the hands of those intent on evil against God’s people and land.

Zechariah 12:3 KJV – “And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.”

Ignorant and hateful people are blaming the actions of Hamas on Israel. Muslims around the world are violently protesting Israel’s defensive actions in Gaza. Jerusalem is becoming a burdensome stone to the world, and eventually all the nations of the earth will turn against her. Yet the Holy One of Israel says that He will be Israel’s defense.

Zechariah 12:10 KJV – “And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.”

It has been said that the current developments in Israel are a second holocaust and more Jews died in one day, on October 7th, than any day since the reign of terror of the Nazi’s came to an end. Does this mean that we could be close to the beginning of the 70th week of Daniel and the fulfillment of the words of Zechariah? It seems quite possible.

Titus 2:11-14 KJV – “For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.”

The glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ precedes the 70th week of Daniel! So as we pray for Israel and the peace of Jerusalem, let’s do so soberly and righteously with our heads lifted up as our redemption draws nigh.

Psalms 121:4 KJV – “Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.”

Even so, come quickly Lord Jesus.

Senator Warns Iran That US Military Will "Take Out" Their Oil Refineries

 Some strong words issued by Senator Lindsey Graham.  I'm glad I'm not the decider on this issue, but it's very clear that Iran was involved in the Hamas attack.  And maybe we have learned that the only way to fight a mad-man is to punch him in the face.  But these are certainly war words being flung about.

US Senator Lindsey Graham has already recommended warning the regime in Iran that if it or its proxies enter the war against Israel -- started by its wholly-owned subsidiary, Hamas -- THE U.S. WILL TAKE OUT IRAN'S OIL REFINERIES.

Most urgently, the ban on Iran's ability to use missiles expires in a few days. Iran will be able to send missiles to the Middle East to launch at Israel and the Gulf States, and to Russia to launch inside Ukraine.

The Iranian regime, in turn, has warned the West that if Israel starts a ground offensive in Gaza, another of its wholly owned subsidiaries, Hezbollah in Lebanon, will create an "earthquake." The warning itself shows that the Iranian regime is "directly" implicated in the war.

A REMINDER TO DETER FURTHER ESCALATION; A WARNING TO THE MULLAHS:

• If even one hostage is harmed, and
• If all the hostages are not released – all of them, not just the America's – inside 72 hours (a time limit is critical), and
• If Iran enters the war either by itself or through one of its other proxies, such as Hezbollah in Lebanon, then

THE U.S. WILL TAKE OUT THEIR OIL REFINERIES.

The idea that there is no "direct evidence" that Iran is responsible for "this war" is ludicrous. Without Iran's weapons, cash and planning, Hamas would not have been able to use its proxies precisely to claim "plausible deniability," as the mullahs puppeteer their aggression from Tehran, while they sit back and watch everyone else pick one another off.

Sadly, the Biden administration appears to be twisting into superhuman contortions pretending to believe that Iran was not implicated in "this attack", supposedly to avoid an escalation. It is this avoidance that will actually bring on the full-scale war, just as it did in Ukraine.

Perhaps those three warnings to the mullahs, rather than escalate aggression, will bring their aggression to a stop. Threatening to destroy Iran's oil infrastructure is a message that might save countless lives and at least put a stop to Iran's expansion.

Here;  U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham's Warning to Iran :: Gatestone Institute

If nothing else, this could certainly have an effect on the oil futures market.

Biden's Ominous Words, "...if Russia Invades Poland"

 There seems to be no shortage of headlines for the WARS AND RUMORS OF WAR file. 

- We can't afford to suspend aid to Ukraine, because if Russia then invades Poland, we would be at war - President of the USA, Joe Biden stated in an interview aired on CBS on Sunday. He also assessed that although Israel must "deal with Hamas", the occupation of the Gaza Strip would be a big mistake.

Here is something to keep in mind;  the Bible says Russia is going to be around in the very Last Days to put together a coalition with Iran and Turkey.  Currently the USA is threatening Russia and Iran.  We don't know of any threats it's making toward Turkey.  But we are telling Iran to "quit messing with Israel" and we are telling Russia, "quit messing with Ukraine and go home!"  

And yet USA isn't around to defend Israel when Russia and Iran get together.  So where the heck did America disappear to???

- Let's imagine what will happen. Let's say we withhold aid, Russia takes over Ukraine and enters Poland, or Belarus. Then we are at war. We, the United States, are at war - Biden said during a "60 Minutes" interview recorded on Friday for CBS television. He justified in this way the need for further support for Ukraine in face of increasing resistance from Congress.

- Have you ever heard of an important war in Europe that we were not dragged into? We don't want that to happen - he added.

When asked if America is capable of helping both Ukraine and Israel, while maintaining its combat readiness, Biden emphatically assured that it is possible.

- We are the United States of America, for heaven's sake! - He emphasized. - We are the most powerful nation in history - not in the world, in the history of the world. We can take care of both - he added.

The majority of the conversation was dedicated to the conflict in the Middle East and the Hamas attacks. Biden described them as "barbarities as consequential as the Holocaust" and stated that Israel must "get to it" and completely destroy Hamas - "a bunch of cowards who hide behind civilians".

He emphasized once again, how important it is to avoid civilian casualties and that the residents of Gaza have nothing to do with Hamas. He also warned Israel against attempting to occupy Gaza.

- I think that would be a huge mistake - he said. - Hamas and the extreme elements of Hamas do not represent all Palestinians - he pointed out.

When asked about the potential opening of a second front of conflict by the Lebanese Hezbollah in the north of Israel and its supporter, Iran, Biden said he has one message for them: "don't do it".

Here;  Biden's ominous words: 'If Russia invades Poland...' (msn.com)

So can America defend Israel, send billions to Ukraine, threaten Iran AND defend Taiwan all at the same time?  Biden almost seems a bit like Nebuchadnezzar when he says "We are the USA for heaven's sake!  We are the most powerful nation in history-not in the world, in the history of the world!"

Pride always comes before the fall.

We will continue to look up, because we are seeing all these things come together for the first time in human history.  We hope you are too!

We hope it's the rapture that seals America's decline.  When the God-fearing are gone and only the woke-folks who aren't sure if they are men, women or if they should support Israel or Hamas...she will not be around to threaten Russia, Iran, Turkey or China and Israel will be all alone with only God to defend her. 

You sure can hear the hoof beats of Ezekiel 38!  What exciting and interesting times we live in!
