Expect China to Hit Taiwan Soon

Taiwan recently elected someone China doesn’t like. So expect China to do something threatening to Taiwan.

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

China is likely to demonstrate “force against Taiwan in the near term” because of the recent election, the head of U.S. Indo-Pacific Command said—and they will probably blame the United States.  

“The pressure campaign against Taiwan continues, and we’re watching it in the wake of the elections,” Adm. John Aquilino said Tuesday at a conference hosted by the Pacific Forum.

“Their actions over the past number of years have been pretty consistent. When something occurs that they don’t like, they tend to take actions,” Aquilino said, noting that China increased its military harassment after then-Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi visited the island in 2022.

China is “clearly not happy,” and the U.S. should “not be surprised” if they “attempt to spin it in the information space as the United States as the aggressor,” he said. “I don’t know how you connect those dots, but they’re pretty effective in the information space. Doesn’t have to be true. They’ve just got to say it enough times.”

Hamas Reveals Reason for Attacking Israel...Red Heifers

 We have blogged on the red heifers for over 15 years and now the story goes mainstream!  Hamas attacked Israel because they don’t want the red heifers to excite the Jews into desiring a Temple.  You simply can’t make this stuff up.  Read it all for yourselves.  We gotta be getting so close!

A rancher from Texas had some perfect red heifers a few years ago and knew to call the Temple Institute in Jerusalem.  They came to see them and shipped them to Israel.  The Jews need the ashes of a perfect red heifer in order for the priests to use the ashes to purify themselves to enter the Temple.  When they find the heifer they will know God is going to provide them a Temple.  And they’ve gone 2000 years without one, but prophecy tells us there will be one for the Tribulation and the Antichrist.

ISRAEL – While political experts worldwide pontificate on the war in Gaza, most have overlooked Hamas’ explicitly stated reason for its Oct. 7 attacks on Israel, revealed on Day 100 of the war.

Incredibly, according to the terror group’s military spokesman, it has to do with attempting to prevent the “ceremony of the Red Heifer” – a mysterious event of great meaning to both Jews and Christians.

Abu Obeida, the military spokesman for the Izz ad-Din Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Palestinian Hamas terrorist organization, made a televised appearance on the 100th day of the current war. It should be noted that although “Abu Obeida” first emerged in 2002, his actual identity remains unknown. Neither his face nor name have ever been revealed in any media. The televised speech was the first time he had appeared in seven weeks as, during that time, all of his public pronouncements were either audio recordings or written statements. A lapse of several weeks even led to speculations that he had been killed.

“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.”

Why Is Iran Shooting Missiles Into Pakistan? They Are on Brink of War

Do you remember when Suicide bombers hit a city in Iran on January 3 and killed over 100 Iranians?  Iran believes it was Sunni terrorists operating in Pakistan who are responsible and struck their bases.  Pakistan is mad.  Remember that Iran is run by Shiite Muslims and Pakistan is run by Sunni Muslims.  So is Saudi Arabia, UAE and Qatar.  Sunnis and Shiites might decide to get along in an attempt to destroy Jews but in everything else they are enemies.  It all started with a rift when Muhammad died and there was a disagreement of who should run Islam.  I must admit that it’s a little taste of satisfaction to see Iran, a major sponsor of terror around the world, get a taste of their own terrorist medicine.

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

Iran's Tuesday missile and drone strikes targeting Sunni jihadists in Pakistan's southwestern Balochistan province have as expected unleashed a diplomatic war between Tehran and Islamabad.

Pakistan started its response by recalling its ambassador from the Iranian capital Wednesday, while also booting the Iranian ambassador from Pakistan. Pakistani officials say that two children were killed in what Iran said was a response to the January 3rd suicide bombings of Kerman city, which killed over 100 people.

"Last night's unprovoked and blatant breach of Pakistan's sovereignty by Iran is a violation of international law and the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations," Pakistan Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mumtaz Zahra Baloch has stated. "It is even more concerning that this illegal act has taken place despite the existence of several channels of communication between Pakistan and Iran."

"Pakistan reserves the right to respond to this illegal act. The responsibility for the consequences will lie squarely with Iran," the spokeswoman added. "We have conveyed this message to the Iranian Government. We have also informed them that Pakistan has decided to recall its ambassador from Iran and that the Iranian Ambassador to Pakistan who is currently visiting Iran may not return for the time being."

Iranian state media has said the attack destroyed two sites belonging to the terrorist organization Jaish al-Adl. It is a region that Tehran authorities have long viewed as a hotbed of terrorism and the source of frequent cross-border attacks: 

Authorities in Balochistan province told CNN two girls had died and at least four people were injured. The girls, aged eight and 12, were killed in houses that were damaged in the attack in the village of Koh-e-Sabz in Kulag, about 60 kilometers (37 miles) from Panjgur district, on Tuesday evening, according to the district’s deputy commissioner Mumtaz Khetran. Khetran also said a mosque near the homes was targeted and hit in the strikes.

Koh-e-Sabz — about 50 kilometers (31 miles) from Pakistan’s border with Iran — is known to be the home of Jaish al-Adl’s former second-in-command Mullah Hashim, who was killed in clashes with Iranian forces in Sarawan, an Iranian region adjacent to Panjgur, in 2018.

Interestingly, China has intervened diplomatically, urging both sides to react with calm and restraint. The Chinese Foreign Ministry Wednesday urged for both sides to "avoid actions that would lead to an escalation of tension and work together to maintain peace and stability in the region."

Netanyahu Says He Opposes Palestinian State

 Why do the Arabs need one more Muslim state in the Middle East?  Why would Israel agree to make an Arab nation in their backyard that’s stated purpose is to destroy the Jews?  Why does America pressure and scold the leaders of Israel?  If you’re not already, please pray for Netanyahu and for the peace of Jerusalem.  It will be trampled on until the age of the gentiles is over.

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

 Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday rejected calls from the United States to scale back Israel’s military offensive in the Gaza Strip or take steps toward the establishment of a Palestinian state after the war, drawing an immediate scolding from the White House.

The tense back and forth reflected what has become a wide rift between the two allies over the scope of Israel’s war and its plans for the future of the beleaguered territory.

“We obviously see it differently,” White House national security spokesperson John Kirby said.

Netanyahu spoke just a day after U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Israel would never have “genuine security” without a pathway toward Palestinian independence. Earlier this week, the White House also announced that it was the “right time” for Israel to lower the intensity of its devastating military offensive in Gaza.

In a nationally televised news conference, Netanyahu struck a defiant tone, repeatedly saying that Israel would not halt its offensive until it realizes its goals of destroying Gaza’s Hamas militant group and bringing home all remaining hostages held by Hamas.

He rejected claims by a growing chorus of Israeli critics that those goals are not achievable, vowing to press ahead for many months. “We will not settle for anything short of an absolute victory,” Netanyahu said.

Israel launched the offensive after an unprecedented cross-border attack by Hamas on Oct. 7 that killed 1,200 people and took some 250 others hostage. Roughly 130 hostages are believed by Israel to remain in Hamas captivity. The war has stoked tensions across the region, threatening to ignite other conflicts.

Israel's assault, one of the deadliest and most destructive military campaignsin recent history, has killed nearly 25,000 Palestinians, according to Gaza health authorities, caused widespread destruction and uprooted over 80% of the territory’s 2.3 million people from their homes.

The staggering cost of the war has led to increasing calls from the international community to halt the offensive. After initially giving Israel wall-to-wall support in the early days of the war, the United States, Israel’s closest ally, has begun to express misgivings and urged Netanyahu to spell out his vision for postwar Gaza.

The United States has said the internationally recognized Palestinian Authority, which governs semi-autonomous zones in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, should be “revitalized” and return to Gaza. Hamas ousted the authority from Gaza in 2007.

The U.S. has also called for steps toward the establishment of a Palestinian state. The Palestinians seek Gaza, the West Bank and east Jerusalem for their state. Those areas were captured by Israel in 1967.

Speaking Wednesday at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, Blinken said the two-state solution was the best way to protect Israel, unify moderate Arab countries and isolate Israel’s arch-enemy, Iran.

Without a “pathway to a Palestinian state,” he said, Israel would not “get genuine security.”

At the same conference, Saudi Arabia’s foreign minister said the kingdom is ready to establish full relations with Israel as part of a larger political agreement. “But that can only happen through peace for the Palestinians, through a Palestinian state,” he said.

Netanyahu, who leads a far-right government opposed to Palestinian statehood, repeated his longstanding opposition to a two-state solution. He said a Palestinian state would become a launching pad for attacks on Israel.

He said Israel "must have security control over the entire territory west of the Jordan River,” adding: “That collides with the idea of sovereignty. What can we do?”

“This truth I tell to our American friends, and I put the brakes on the attempt to coerce us to a reality that would endanger the state of Israel,” he said.

The comments prompted an immediate rebuke from the White House. Kirby said that President Joe Biden would “not stop working” toward a two-state solution.

China's Stock Market in Free Fall. Could America's Market be Next?

 For years now all we ever heard about China was, "Wow!  Their growth has been incredible!  They make everything on planet earth!!  The next century is going to be ruled by them and their economy!"

What if all that is totally false?  What if China has been building cities using speculation-investment money from all it's citizens but those cities are empty and bankrupt?  What if killing all the female children under China's "One Child Only" policy is leading to a collapse in population?  What if their communist dictatorship has left them with no friends in any other wealthy nations?  What if their economy is about ready to collapse under a tanking stock market?  How might the Chinese government lash out and blame someone else for their own failed system?

Is the financial chaos that is currently happening in China a harbinger of things to come here in the United States?  

Today, the global economy is more interconnected than ever before, and economic warning signs have been popping up all over the planet in recent weeks.  Of course the U.S. has certainly not been an exception.  Employers are throwing workers out into the streets in very large numbers, and we have reached a point where hunger, poverty and homelessness are all growing at extremely alarming rates.  

The U.S. economy has clearly entered a very troubled period, but for the moment U.S. stock prices are still stable.  

Unfortunately, the same cannot be said about Chinese stocks.  In fact, Newsweek says that China's stock market "appears to be in free fall now"...

After a rocky couple of years for the Chinese economy, the country's stock market appears to be in free fall now, with authorities asking institutional investors not to sell stocks in an attempt to stabilize share prices as foreigners are pulling out.

Compared to 12 months ago, the FTSE China 50 index is down almost 30 percent...

The FTSE China 50 index--a real-time tradable index comprising 50 of the country's largest and most liquid stocks--has plunged by 1.77 percent between Monday and Tuesday as part of a long-term large decline over the past six months. Compared to one year ago, the index is down by 29.24 percent.

China's market regulators have tried to stabilize the market by imposing restrictions that stop some investors from being net sellers of equities on certain days. This strategy--with authorities offering what's known as "window guidance" in an attempt to help the country's stock market bounce back--was first introduced in October.

Wow.

Nearly a third of the entire value of the FTSE China 50 index has already been wiped out.

Needless to say, we have not seen a similar crash in the U.S. yet.

But many believe that one is coming.

On Tuesday, the Dow was down 231 points, but that is nothing to get excited about.

It certainly wouldn't be a surprise to see more down days in the near future, because stock prices are way too high right now.

In fact, one expert just told CNBC that the market "looks overvalued by about 9% to 10%"...

The market looks overvalued by about 9% to 10%, according to Aswath Damodaran.

"The expectation game has turned against the market," the professor at New York University's Stern School of Business told CNBC's "Closing Bell" on Tuesday.

A stock market decline of 10 percent certainly wouldn't be the end of the world.

But what if the conflict in the Middle East evolves into a major regional war and the U.S. economy plunges into a very deep recession?

What would that do to stock prices?

I've been in the investment business for 37 years and every year someone comes out, for some reason, and says, "the sky is falling!"  And still we seem to survive crashes, 9/11, Covid, removal from the gold standard, etc...  Every year there is someone who warns of massive doom.

I was certainly one of them who warned of massive doom during 2007 and thought the whole thing was going to come down.  We survived that....but one day we won't.

The headlines of gloom are everywhere like maybe they haven't been in a long time.  We keep our eyes fixed on heaven and remember that our JOY always comes from the Lord.  He is in control and nothing is going to come apart until He says so.  Also remember that if it does all happen to come apart before the rapture that everyone will be in the same boat.  Our ship will rise and fall along with everyone else...but only followers of Christ KNOW where we will all be when we exit this body.

"The joy of the Lord is my strength". 

Eye Popping Interest Payments on Federal Debt

 The problem is going to harder and harder to hide.  We take in $4.4 trillion in Federal taxes and yet the Govt spent almost 50% more than it took in.  Also the interest payments alone are eating up 20% of that $4.4 trillion.  And yet the politicians still want to talk about giving everyone more free stuff.  

Remember that the investors of the world will start to demand a higher interest rate if they are going to continue to buy US debt.  What if this rate goes from 4% last year to 8% this year and we go from $659 billion to $1.3 trillion in interest payments?  Do you think the expenses of the US government are going down?  Did your expenses go down last year? 

All of this debt and spending is simply unsustainable.  When it reaches a certain point investors will lose FAITH and CONFIDENCE in the US Government and the entire system will collapse.  We hope the soon rapture is the trigger.

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

Interest payments on the United State’s national debt have risen sharply in recent years and remain on track to continue increasing. Net interest payments on the national debt hit a whopping $659 billion in fiscal year 2023, marking a massive 39% jump from 2022, when the government paid $475 billion in interest on the national debt.

The comparison signifies that increased taxation suggested by Democrats isn’t a viable path towards erasing the national debt, especially as interest payments pile up. The United States collected $4.4 trillion in federal taxes in fiscal year 2023, up from $4.19 trillion in fiscal year 2022, yet the debt increased by more than $2 trillion.

The debt interest payments continued to spike in October 2023, the first month of fiscal year 2024, when the government paid $76 billion on the national debt interest. The figure marked a shocking 77% increase from October 2022 when the government paid $43 billion on the interest.

Interest payments on the national debt are poised to reach an astonishing $1.4 trillion in just under a decade in fiscal year 2033, surging even higher to a projected $5.4 trillion in fiscal year 2053.

Atheist Homo Warns That Trump Could Derail Global Order

If you aren’t familiar with Klaus Schwab right hand man, Yuval Noah Harari, you should be.  These folks are literally doing Satan’s work of preparing the world for the Antichrist and Great Tribulation.

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

A highly influential figure with Klaus Schwab and the World Economic Forum (WEF) has proposed that should Donald Trump regain the presidency of the United States in this election year it would likely deal a “death blow to what remains of the global order.”

 Yuval Noah Harari, a 47-year-old homosexual atheist Jew, is a transhumanist philosopher and popular author. He lectures at Hebrew University in Jerusalem while also serving as one of Schwab’s closest confidants in the globalist WEF. He raised eyebrows in August 2022 when he disturbingly remarked that the world no longer needs the “vast majority” of “useless” workers who will be displaced by technological advances. He has also remarked that “humans” are no longer“mysterious souls” but merely “hackable animals.”

In a January 11 interview, Steven Bartlett, British host of the YouTube channel The Diary of a CEO, asked Harari, “Are you concerned that Trump might be elected again?”

“I think it’s very likely,” he mourned. “And if it happens, it is likely to be a kind of deathblow to what remains of the global order. And he [Trump] says it openly.”

Harari continued proposing that populist politicians these days present a “false dichotomy” between patriotism and globalism.

“By now it should be clear that many of these politicians present a false dichotomy, a false binary vision of the world, as if you have to choose between patriotism and globalism, between being loyal to your nation and being loyal to some kind of other global government or whatever. And this is completely false.”

Summarizing the goals of the WEF, LifeSite president Steve Jalsevac said the organization is “completely committed to utterly changing the entire world governance system and removing all borders, cultures and customs and [establishing] just one world order, run by business and government working together.”

First, “they have to devastate everything,” he continued. “They have to devastate the world economy. They have to create wars, and they have to bring us down to the lowest possible level of fear, hunger and despair in order for us to

Israel Carries Out Massive Attacks on Hezbollah

 Israel is not going to mince words or play games with the terrorists in Lebanon called Hezbollah who are funded by Iran.  Of course the world, who hates Jews, is going to see this news and say, "Those war-mongering Jews gotta be stopped!  Annihilate Israel now!  Stop the genocide they are committing on the poor Arabs!!"

In reality it's the Muslim-Arabs who dream of committing genocide on the Jews!!  That's why they chant, "From the river to the sea!"

The Israeli armed forces carried out a massive wave of airstrikes and artillery fire against targets in the Saluki valley in southern Lebanon on Tuesday, following repeated attacks against Israeli targets by the Lebanese terror organization Hezbollah.

According to Israel Defense Forces, the terror group “makes extensive use” of the valley for its activities, hiding its weapons and infrastructures in the valley’s forested areas.

According to Lebanese reports, the Israeli airstrike was among the largest of the war so far, hitting 15 different targets in at least 30 launched strikes.

On Tuesday morning, Hezbollah attempted a drone infiltration in the area of Yesod HaMa’ala and Mishmar HaYarden and followed that with additional rockets fired at Misgav Am and Ramot Naftali.

Earlier in the day, the IDF said Israeli special forces had “attacked during the night to remove a threat” near the town Aita al-Sha’ab, hinting that Israeli troops had crossed the border to raid their target.

In response, Lebanon's Al-Mayadeen news outlet, which is affiliated with Hezbollah, claimed that the IDF had lied and, instead, three IDF commando soldiers were exposed trying to cross the border and were forced to retreat to their outpost.

The IDF further stated that the Israeli Air Force (IAF) destroyed an anti-tank missile launcher in Kfar Kila overnight.

Meanwhile, Maj.-Gen. Uri Gordin of the Northern Command, visited a battalion-level exercise by the 228th Brigade near the border on Monday.

“We are more ready for this than we have ever been, tonight if we have to, and we will continue and strengthen the preparedness and assessments going forward as well,” he said.

Russia Responds to Report About War with NATO

 This headline is just more RUMORS OF WAR.  Of course Russia denies to know anything about any plans for war with NATO.  And of course when an Iranian nuclear scientist is killed, Israel denies any knowledge of how it might have happened.

In reality, Russia would be a fool if it wasn't doing war-games-planning on how it would fight a NATO coalition.  A huge reason that Russia went to war in Ukraine is because USA and other NATO countries were lobbying to let Ukraine into NATO.  Russia said from the beginning that if this happened it would be a red line and they would have to use force to stop it.

And today we have Ukraine being decimated while most Russians now support the war in Ukraine.  "Well, we've come this far and may as well finish the job," is what most Russians say when polled.

Many Russians believe that NATO is a force that will be used to destroy them...so don't think real fondly of NATO.

Moscow has mocked an article in a German newspaper which says Berlin is preparing for an armed conflict between NATO and Russia.

Bild said a classified document it had seen showed how the German armed forces, the Bundeswehr, were preparing for an attack by Moscow on the alliance's eastern flank and outlined a "path to conflict" between Russia and NATO, according to a translation.

The document seen by the mass-circulation tabloid, which appears to be a training scenario, has not been independently verified. Newsweek has contacted the German Defense Ministry and NATO for comment.

Russian foreign affairs spokeswoman Maria Zakharova dismissed the predictions as the kind you would find in a "horoscope."

Central to the case for continued military support among Ukraine's allies to fight Russian aggression is the argument that it is fighting for all the West. In December 2023, President Joe Biden said that if Vladimir Putin won in Ukraine, Russia would attack an alliance member, a claim dismissed by the Russian president as "complete nonsense."

Under Article 5 of NATO's treaty, an armed attack on an alliance member is considered an attack on all and would force a collective response. Kyiv's allies have tried to provide aid without getting directly involved in the war.

Bild said the document "Alliance Defense 2025" outlined a scenario in which escalation could start as early as February, when Russia would launch another wave of mobilization.

The article said that the report it had seen outlined a scenario where, emboldened by faltering Western support for Kyiv, Moscow would launch a spring offensive that could push back the Ukrainian army.

By July, Russia could start conducting cyberattacks and other forms of hybrid warfare, mainly in the Baltic states of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, where they would incite ethnic Russian minorities.

Russia could use these clashes as a pretext to deploy troops to the region via its Zapad 2024 exercise involving 50,000 troops in western Russia and Belarus from September.

Medium-range missile systems deployed to its exclave of Kaliningrad could allow Russia to exploit the interim period after the U.S. election and repeat its 2014 invasion of Crimea, but this time on NATO territory.

Border conflicts" and "unrests with numerous casualties" were possible in the "Suwalki corridor" between Belarus and Kaliningrad along the Polish-Lithuanian border by December and Russia, according to the report which predicted the deployment of hundreds of thousands of NATO troops and an "outbreak of war in the summer of 2025."

Russia and Iran

 Here’s just a single paragraph plucked form a Reuters News update.  Ezekiel 38 just keeps coming!  Comical in that you have Russia criticizing Israel!

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

Russia’s foreign and defence ministers Sergei Lavrov and Sergei Shoigu held telephone calls with their Iranian counterparts on Monday, Russian state news agency RIA reported.

Russia and Iran have drawn close in recent months, and Iran has provided Russia with weaponry to be used in Ukraine. The two sides have also criticised Israeli actions in the Gaza Strip.

UFOs; What if the Government has Lied?

They’re in the main Google Headlines again!  All this constant talk of UFOs and “aliens” visiting from other planets.  This one talks about the danger of uncovering yet another “conspiracy theory” only to find that your government has been lying to you for 75 years.  Did we really go to the moon?  Is Epstein really dead from suicide?  Did JFK really get shot dead by one rifleman using a bolt-action rifle 5 stories up?

Articles like these should be one more sign of how close we are to Tribulation, and the snatching away (by Jesus not aliens) must be even closer.

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

 If you thought that we were about to finally get the truth about UFOs, think again. At the end of last year, a US government bill that would have mandated the controlled release of all classified documents and artefacts relating to UFOs was significantly watered down at the last minute so that it would get through Congress.

Interest in unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs), the new term for UFOs, reignited in June 2023 when ex-US intelligence agency whistleblower David Grusch told the Debrief website that during his official duties he had discovered the US had indeed been retrieving spacecraft of non-human origin for decades. The claims led to a congressional hearing, in which Grusch and others described what they had gleaned of this super-secret project, or seen with their own eyes during military service. Their testimonies resulted in the new Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Disclosure Act, authored by a bipartisan group of five elected representatives, led by Democrat majority leader Chuck Schumer and Republican senator Mike Rounds.

While it is easy to focus on the extraordinary nature of the subject or the credibility of those witnessing UAPs, the prospect of alien spacecraft raises serious issues that go beyond whether we’re alone in the universe. Lots of scientific work is under way not only to look for signs of extraterrestrial life, but more recently to ask what it would mean psychologically for us if aliens really do exist, and – potentially worse – if the authorities have been lying to us about what they know.

“These days it’s all about ‘my truth’, except for people who happen to see strange things in the sky. We don’t legitimise their truth.” He says they need help and support. “And we need to do that in the context of possible disclosure, because there might suddenly be 8 billion people who have to get used to the fact that they’re being told that there’s a very different worldview by exactly the organisations that they now realise have lied to them for the past 80 years.”
