The Gathering Storm

 There is no doubt that the world is on edge.  Ukraine and Russia.  China and Japan.  And it sounds like it soon may be Venezuela and America.

How many war fronts can America afford to fight on?  Is this what Jesus meant went he said, "Wars and rumors of war"?

While many Americans are searching for the best online holiday deals and figuring out what to watch on Netflix tonight, a storm is gathering. Decisions that are being made right now could radically alter the course of human history, but most of the population is so self-occupied that they don’t even realize what is happening. We could soon find ourselves involved in multiple global wars simultaneously, and once we reach that stage there will be no turning back.

Turkey Pushes for Closer Ties With Iran

 Another day, another headline showing how the Ezekiel 38 coalition is coming together for the first time in human history.

Despite the recent reimposition of UN sanctions on Iran, Turkey has called for closer diplomatic and trade relations with the Iranian regime, as both countries seek to bolster their influence in the Middle East while openly targeting Israel.

In a new interview with the semi-official Iranian news outlet ISNA, Turkey’s Ambassador to Iran, Hicabi Kırlangıç, said Ankara was working to expand bilateral cooperation with Tehran by leveraging existing capabilities to increase economic ties between the two countries.

“One of the obstacles to expanding trade relations between Iran and Turkey is the issue of sanctions. However, we should not cling to this excuse and refrain from trying to increase trade relations,” Kırlangıç said. 

“The goal is to raise the level of trade relations to $30 billion, but we are still far from this figure,” he continued, emphasizing the vast potential for economic growth and the need for careful planning to achieve it.

The Turkish diplomat’s latest remarks followed Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan’s visit on Sunday to Tehran, where he also pushed for stronger bilateral cooperation between the two countries and denounced what he called “unfair sanctions” on Iran.

In a joint press conference with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, Fidan reaffirmed Turkey’s support for Tehran while calling for the country’s nuclear program to be addressed through dialogue amid ongoing discussions to restart nuclear talks with the West.

After repeated unsuccessful negotiations over Iran’s nuclear program, European countries launched the process to reinstate wide-ranging UN sanctions earlier this year under the so-called snapback mechanism, adding further pressure on Tehran, which was already facing mounting US sanctions.

Fidan called for the removal of these “unrighteous” sanctions, stressing that the Iranian regime must resolve outstanding issues “on the basis of international law.”

“Turkey has always stood with Iran and will continue to stand with Iran within the framework of international law,” the top Turkish diplomat said, adding that “these unfair sanctions should be lifted.”

Trump Warns Israel Not to Interfere in Syria

 I’ve read that just a few years ago the now President of Syria was an Islamic terrorist with a U.S. bounty on his head.  Now he has a suit on and Trump invites him to the White House and warns Israel to stay away from Syria and let this “great leader” rebuild his war-torn country.

Hmmmm.  Does Trump know anything about Isaiah 17 and the destruction of Damascus?  Does he know he’s walking on thin ice if he starts telling Israel how, when and where they are to defend themselves from Satanic Islamists?  

Keep praying for Trump and his cabinet.  Keep praying for Israel and the peace of Jerusalem.  And keep praying that the churches of America and the young generation watching tik tok videos STOP turning against Israel and Jews.

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

US President Donald Trump warned Israel via social media on Monday against destabilizing Syria and its new leadership, shortly before holding a phone conversation with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

“It is very important that Israel maintain a strong and true dialogue with Syria, and that nothing takes place that will interfere with Syria’s evolution into a prosperous State,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform, days after a deadly operation by Israeli forces in the south of the country.

Trump said he was “very satisfied” with Syria’s current performance under former Islamist rebel President Ahmed al-Sharaa, who made a historic visit to the White House in November.

The US president said Sharaa “is working diligently to make sure good things happen, and that both Syria and Israel will have a long and prosperous relationship together.” He added that the United States was “doing everything within our power to make sure the Government of Syria continues to do what was intended” to rebuild the war-torn country.

Good relations between Syria and Israel would add to his efforts for a wider Middle East peace following the fragile Gaza ceasefire in October, said Trump.

Iran is Drying Up Like NEVER Before

 Here is what we know for sure;  no matter how many Muslims gather at a mosque in Tehran to beg Allah for rain, it won’t make a difference because Allah is not God.

What we do wonder about is whether this a curse placed on Iran by God because of how they cursed Israel and lobbed thousands of missiles into her?  Of course we also know Iran has to stay around in the playing field of history to fulfill their role in Ezekiel 38.

But this water shortage sounds like it may even cause the evacuation of Tehran, where the rich, fancy and powerful live.

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

Rows of worshippers, some with their faces raised toward the sky, others with their heads bowed, prayed for rain at a mosque in Tehran earlier this month. Theirs is an increasingly desperate plea. The city is grappling with a water crisis so severe the Iranian president has suggested people may need to evacuate. The weeks tick by, still the rains don’t arrive.

There are fears water may run out completely in this vast, bustling city, whose metropolitan area is home to around 15 million people.

In a speech earlier this month, President Masoud Pezeshkian said water will be rationed if it does not rain in Tehran by December. If the lack of rain continues, residents “have to evacuate,” he said. Many experts say evacuation is unfeasible, but Pezeshkian’s rhetoric reflects the seriousness of Iran’s situation.

Tehran is in the spotlight, but this is a crisis that goes well beyond the capital. Around 20 provinces haven’t seen a single drop of rain since the start of the rainy season at the end of September, said Mohsen B. Mesgaran, an associate professor of plant sciences at the University of California, Davis. Roughly 10% of the country’s dams have effectively run dry, according to Reuters.

He described the country as being in “water bankruptcy,” extracting from its rivers lakes and wetlands (akin to its checking account) and its underground aquifers (its savings account) at a much faster rate than they are replenished.

The government’s aim to achieve food self-sufficiency, partly in response to Western sanctions, is largely responsible for the situation, experts say. “For decades, policies have encouraged the expansion of irrigated agriculture in arid regions,” AghaKouchak said.

Irrigated farmland has doubled since 1979 and crops are thirsty, especially rice, an Iranian staple. The vast majority of Iran’s water, around 90%, goes to agriculture.

Lake Urmia, in northwestern Iran, is a clear casualty. Once one of the planet’s largest saltwater lakes, Urmia has shriveled over the past decades. Drought has played a role but the bigger driver is the dams and wells that have sprung up nearby to support farms, choking off supply to the lake. They have “pushed the system beyond its limits,” Mesgaran said.

Understand That a Mass Delusion Has Struck America

 We've all seen the videos of a dude walking down the street in Any City, USA with a microphone and he asks adults (of voting age), "How many states are in America?", or "What is the capitol of America?", or "How old is America?", or "Who did we gain our Independence from?"....and the blank stares and actual Americans can't answer the question is disturbing.

Next he asks some math questions, "What is 64 + 36?", or "What is 3x3x3?", and the blank stares and inability to answer is equally disturbing.  These are the voters of America!!  They have been dumbed down and their brains have not been trained for critical reasoning.

Now go the ICE protests where a reporter asks people on the streets of NYC, "Should ICE be allowed to deport illegal immigrants?"  And the reporter is met almost instantly with profanities of "F... you!"

What is happening?  Sadly, it appears that a mass delusion has taken over a wide swath of America.

We believe this is precursor to 2nd Thessalonians where it tells us that "God sends mass delusion so that THEY will believe the lie".

If I looked you in the eye and told you the Rocky Mountains don’t exist, you’d think I was crazy.

But give me time, and I could make you believe it.

I wouldn’t need threats or force. I wouldn’t really even need a good argument.

All I’d need is steady, confident repetition. The kind that comes from the voices you already trust.

Say, you lived out on the eastern plains of Colorado. The land is flat and the horizon looks empty.

You’ve got a job, a family, responsibilities. You’re not driving hours west to confirm whether a mountain range is sitting there; it’s not like it’s urgent.

So you don’t push back. You just absorb the disinformation.

And soon enough, you’re not just accepting the idea, you’re defending it.

Your identity becomes wrapped in the belief that the world is exactly as you were told it is.

Any challenge to that belief feels like a personal attack.

Then one afternoon, you drive a little farther than usual and there it is. The massive, immovable Rockies, exactly where they’ve always been

And instead of asking, “Why was I misled?” you lash out.

Who put these mountains here? This disrupts everything! Who do I blame?

And people just like you begin insisting that the problem isn’t the lie… It’s the chain of mountains.

Nothing changed about the Rockies, only your relationship to reality changed.

This is how real manipulation works.

Not by controlling your actions, but by controlling the lens you use to see the world. So when reality finally shows up, you treat reality itself as the enemy.

And that is exactly where America is right now.

Beware the Anxiety Machine

Trump Derangement Syndrome is only one expression of the larger psychological breakdown we’re living through. The same conditioning that drives people into obsession over Trump shows up everywhere else on the left.

Start with the basics…

The constant lies about men becoming women. And remember, that’s just the opening move. It’s the first step in the process.

Tell people to deny something obvious, force them to repeat it and, eventually, you condition them to accept any contradiction.

Then look at climate hysteria.

There are grown adults — not children, not teenagers, adults — who lose sleep because they’ve convinced themselves climate change is going to make humanity extinct.

That’s a real, documented phenomenon on the left. But think about what that means…

For instance, people refusing to have children because of what left-wing propaganda has done to their minds.

People who sincerely believe there is a “genocide” against trans people because we don’t think a 200-pound bearded man should be competing in girls’ athletics.

That which was once on the fringe has now become the left’s mainstream opinion.

And of course, COVID fits right into this: The madness of Fauci-ism was never just about public health.

It was about Pavlovian-style social conditioning.

The idea is simple. Create a stimulus, attach an emotional reaction, repeat until the reaction becomes automatic and bypasses the rational mind entirely.

That’s why the reality of anti-Trumpism is what it is today — absurdity on a loop.

The Russia-collusion hoax

The endless prosecutions

The Epstein insinuations.

The constant, coordinated lies.

For people rooted in reality like you and me, we haven’t handed over our brains to the system. You’re part of Money & Power precisely because you still trust your five senses! As well as your gut.

But ask yourself this:

How many people you know — especially in big blue states, people who voted for Kamala Harris — believe things that are flatly impossible?

How many talking points are repeated that make no sense?

How many become enraged when you question the narrative?

How many behave like they’ve been absorbed into a cult?

That’s what happens when a political movement trains millions to surrender their judgment and react emotionally on command.

If we didn't know Christ and didn't believe that we will soon be with Him, this would be very frightening.  I'm reminded what Jan Markell frequently asks, "What did you think the Last Days would look like?"

First Eruption in Recorded History Happens in Ethiopia

 For 15 plus years now we have been bombarded by headlines that have the words, "never" and "ever", in them.  We believe it is all part of the birth pangs that Christ said would happen before the Day of Lord is delivered to earth.

Today we find a headline out of Ethiopia (called Cush in the Old Testament) that says a massive volcano has erupted for the first time EVER in recorded history.  Certainly the world is groaning for it's redemption and this is just one more example.

Hayli Gubbi volcano in Northern Ethiopia erupted on Sunday (Nov. 23) for the first time in nearly 12,000 years, causing havoc in villages nearby. Satellite imagery detailed billowing plumes of pale ash stretching across the arid region.

Before Sunday, the volcano's last known eruption roughly coincided with the beginning of our current Holocene Epoch, when the last ice age came to close after 2.6 million years.

No deaths have been reported from Hayli Gubbi's eruption, but villages located in the remote district of Afdera became caked in ash, impacting both homes and livestock, AP reports.

Abedella Mussa, a health official for the Afdera district, told AP that mobile medicinal services were dispatched from the Afar region to help the kebeles (neighborhoods) impacted by the eruption.

The massive clouds of ash that erupted 8.7 miles (14 km) into the sky drifted to Pakistan and Northern India, causing flight cancellations for a few days during the week, and began moving toward China.

Atalay Ayele, a seismologist and researcher at the Institute of Geophysics, Space Science and Astronomy at Addis Ababa University, told Reuters that Ethiopia is home to about 50 active volcanoes.

"At any time, these volcanoes can be active or can show manifestations of activity," Ayele said in the Reuters report.

While there were no scientific forecasts for the event, locals told Al Jazeera reporters that they had noticed a little smoke coming from Hayli Gubbi in the days leading up to the eruption.

Hayli Gubbi's eruption isn’t the first time Ethiopia has seen volcanic activity this year. Erta Ale volcano in the Afar region, known for decades of continuous volcanic activity that has created an ongoing lava lake, saw reports of a dense black cloud rising from the volcano in mid-July 2025.

Hayli Gubbi’s activity this week has reportedly ceased as of Friday (Nov. 28).

While we take issue with articles that report events using millions or billions of years, we certainly recognize that Ethiopia has had people there since the God scattered the people at the Tower of Babel a few hundred years after the flood.  And so when they say this is the first time that people have seen the volcano erupt, that indeed qualifies as a significant event.

Muslim Terrorist Screams “Allahu akbar!” as He Attacks National Guardsmen

The dude drove 40 hours across entire USA from Washington state to Washington DC with the desire to stab soldiers deployed in our nation’s capitol.  Also, he chose to leave his wife and 5 kids at home.  Who are these Muslims who are now here by the millions?  What are they teaching their kids?  How many of them dream of destroying America and taking over with Sahria law and making it another Islamic hell hole?

Is his wife at home cheering the dedication to Allah that her husband has?  Is she going to teach her children that their dad was a hero of the faith and a servant of Allah?

“Oh wow Dennis!  Now you have truly shown us that you ARE Islamophobic!”

Not true.  I’m not afraid of Muslims.  I’m wondering about the insanity of importing a political system disguised as a “religion of peace” and hoping that diversity will make us stronger.  During WWII would we have thought it a great idea to import a bunch of German men from the Nazi religion?  How is this any different?

Muslims are not the Christian’s enemy.  They are deceived by Satan and need Jesus just like we all do.  So we continue to support Christian missions that take the Gospel to the Muslims.  We continue to pray that dreams and visions of Jesus will continue to invade the dark world of Islam.  But we don’t allow millions of Muslims from Somalia to all move to Minneapolis and elect a Muslim to Congress, demand call to prayer be blared on public loudspeakers, and appoint Muslims to police force who swear allegiance to put Muslims first on his priorities.

Rahmanullah Lakanwal, who is a 29-year-old Afghan evacuee with ties to the CIA and had worked with Special Ops teams while in-country, drove across the nation from Bellingham, Washington, so he could commit a horrific act of terrorism. That’s a nearly 3,000-mile, 40-hour drive, according to the New York Post. He left a wife and five children behind to kill US troops in the name of Islamic Jihad.

He lay in wait two blocks from the White House at the Farragut West Metro entrance at approximately 2 pm on Wednesday, waiting for his targets. Two armed National Guard troops were on patrol when Lakanwal came around the corner with a .357 Magnum and opened fire on them. The attack occurred at 17th and I Streets NW, which is next to Farragut Square Park.

Specialist Sarah Beckstrom, 20, who was with the West Virginia National Guard and had volunteered for the day’s service so others could spend Thanksgiving with their families, was hit in the head and chest. Lakanwal shot her, then leaned over and shot her again. Sadly, Beckstrom passed away Thursday evening as her father held her hand and was by her side.

 A National Guard major heard the shooting and ran to see what was happening. He was not armed, but didn’t hesitate in the least when he saw Lakanwal. He ducked behind a car and pulled out his pocketknife, lunging at the shooter as he stopped to reload. He stabbed the terrorist in the head multiple times and brought him down, according to conservative lawyer and strategist Mike Davis, who reported from law enforcement sources.

The major reportedly heard Lakanwal yell “Allahu Akbar!” as he attacked the Guardsmen.
