We continue the ‘wheels-within-wheels’ as our journey in reversal of time takes us from the 2020 US presidential election to when that 2020 wheel was inserted into an ‘engine’ and started up: 2016 and 2008.
The earlier date is when I ‘heard’ the Lord tell me “This is ALL about to be fulfilled” upon opening my Bible, as well as the year Barack Obama won a presidential election.
The later date is when he tried engineering Hillary Clinton’s win but, after its failure with Donald Trump winning, Obama began treacherously sabotaging his presidency with the Crossfire Hurricane operation that led to ‘Russiagate’ hoax impeachments followed by years of ongoing ‘lawfare’.
Extract: ‘In July of 2016, then-FBI special agent Peter Strzok opened a counteri-ntel investigation into Trump’s camp dubbed “Crossfire Hurricane” on suspicions (based on no evidence) that the Russians had infiltrated Trump’s circle.
For years the DOJ and FBI resisted the release of the “electronic communication” used to launch the scam investigation because it revealed the entire spying operation was a scam…’ (Read in full here)
A couple of months earlier I’d blogged about Obama’s negotiations with Iran at the time of Trump’s nomination as candidate and prophetically mulled over the Lord starting to expose political corruption in UK, USA & EU.
Now, we have extensive exposure of what are claimed to be criminal activities by a classmate of Obama at Columbia University when they majored in pre-Law and political science; the TV and radio host Wayne Allyn Root, who’s interviewed Donald Trump sixteen times.
Please be aware, these are provocative long-reads:
My interest has arisen from what I’ve learned during my writing ‘assignment’ – and my prophetical background gives a fuller perspective – plus a revelatory ‘authority’ of two occasions of strong Holy Spirit reaction upon my dear wife, and which gets replayed!
So, my interest in Trump is not based solely on what prophets heard from the Lord.
BACKGROUND
Mid-1980s – as recounted in Bio Info’s section ‘Grabbed By An Invisible Hand’, whilst flicking through a book I’d been given as trustee of a New Age group, a documentary on TV uncannily showed a directly relevant event of Iranian and Iraqi elite units rehearsing the storming of Jerusalem!
1989 – months after attending Billy Graham crusade I shut the door to the Gospel but that very night a Visitation from Jesus in person brought an ‘illumination of conscience’ in a near-death experience; recounted in Jesus Freed Me! I began attending Tilehurst Free Church (Baptist), Reading.
1994-5 – Seeking cleansing from that group, I received ministry and acceptance for training in healing and deliverance. Also, I was baptised in the Holy Spirit. Later, I learned about prophecy and received personal prophecies, including on writing.
2001 – During advanced ministry training (incl SRA, satanic ritual abuse) I heard about William Koenig’s news coverage of the Middle-East in World Watch Daily (accredited Christian journalist with the White House press-room).
2005 – Having had two open visions (here and here) I sought advice and attend Revd Dr Sharon Stone’s prophecy masterclass in Bath City Church and her regular meetings.
2016 – “LORD are You starting to expose political corruption?” (ie ripening tares) I ask upon reading of investigations into Trump’s finances as the GOP presidential nominee. So, follow closely ‘RussiaGate’ hoax impeachments and ongoing ‘lawfare’ against him. That prophetical query has since proven most affirmative with over 600 updates!!
2016-25 – I note many prophets hear the Lord on America’s politics, especially a friend previously from my Reading church and of which 24 are proven accurate on Trump.
2020 – White House contact explains deep flaws in US elections makes them open to manipulation and fraud; contact with algorithm expert who has to go ‘under the radar’.
2022 – I learn of Trump’s personal ‘MAGA’ mission SINCE 2012 is to remove corruption within US politics: ie. culling Matthew 13 tares! > So, he and I are on the same page!!
2024 – Many other prophets have also been vindicated by US election results.
2020 & 2025 – Nina doesn’t follow news or prophecy, yet can get tangible ‘sizzles’ of the Holy Spirit upon seeing Donald Trump. First, when a friend sent a video clip of him and Melania on the White House balcony at Christmas 2020. Nina got head-to-toe power surges and saw a glory-light surround them.
In January 2025 upon returning home whilst I watched BBC live broadcast from the US Capitol Washington, Nina walked into the room and toward the TV precisely when Donald Trump emerged through curtains in the Rotunda to walk towards podium for his Inauguration as POTUS 47 – a mirror-action and Nina almost fell as Holy Spirit surged rapidly again through her.
NB: by way of confirmation the ‘sizzles’ return whenever Nina talks of what happened!
Note, it also brings the ‘fear’ of the Lord and ‘knowing’ that accusations of his serving evil equate to the unpardonable sin because the Lord is using him.
Moreover, as at the end of this post, whilst telling a friend of both those God-incidents he too got ‘hit’!! Thus, another divine confirmation
Hope this gives an idea of what I believe the Lord is doing in this Biblical battle of good against evil that many prophets are perceiving, and why I’m keen to inform my friends and brothers in the Lord.
VALIDATION
The screenshot below posted this morning on Facebook’s Donald Trump 4 President says it all, as well as confirming the real reason behind his success in exposing and clearing out the demonic deep-state is to fulfill Jesus’ Matthew 13 parable that started my writing on End-times > REMOVAL OF SATANIC SEED SOWN IN JESUS’ FIELD…
“The one who sowed the good seed is the Son of Man.38 The field is the world, and the good seed stands for the people of the kingdom. The weeds are the people of the evil one,39 and the enemy who sows them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the harvesters are angels. 40 “As the weeds are pulled up and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of the age.41 The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will weed out of his kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil.42 They will throw them into the blazing furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.43 Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Whoever has ears, let them hear.”
This afternoon while sitting resting in my living room chair, the Lord spoke to me out of the blue. I felt an urgency on it, not only for the next few days but for the weeks and months to come.
I knew by the Spirit of God that this is directly linked with the Presidential Inauguration of President Trump.
Shared in obedience and with the fear of the Lord. Here is the word. Respectfully submitted, Barry Wunsch “Barry, tell my people that there is a great illusion coming in the sky! The enemy is about to pull some things out of his bag of tricks. You are about to see a show that is not real. It is a massive plan to bring and release fear into the earth. The evil kings and rulers, the Cabal and deep state are being used as pawns to the enemy to usher in one world government. This is bigger than America the Beautiful. Warn My people that the illusion in the sky is intended to provide a veil for these Cabal evil kings to bring harm to the Nations. The enemy has created a plan so elaborate, so deceptive that even the very elect can be deceived. It is multi-layered to impact not only righteous leaders coming into power, but also to ignite global conflict that will try to tip the scales against My plans and destiny for the Nations. Barry, call My people to prayer and fasting! Barry, tell My people to prepare to stand up! The clock is ticking. Things will soon be underway! The countdown is on the clock. There is no stopping what is coming. Watch and see with your own eyes what I am about to do! Follow My lead! For I am about to blow upon My people with the wind of My Spirit. I am about to open up the gate wide for the End-time revival harvest! The Nations are about to shake! What you are about to see is only the beginning! Gird yourselves up in the Spirit! Push back fear! Push back the enemy! There is a revolution being released across the Nations! I am bringing visitations to those who I am calling forward at this time. I am tapping them on the shoulder. As you humble yourself and follow Me and My ways these evil kings and regimes will be taken out with all of their evil agendas and plans. Arise My people! Stay close to me, it is critically important! Do not make a move without Me going before you and leading the way. For the right move at the wrong time is the wrong move! Keep your eyes on Washington DC there is more going on than you see. Watch for the enemy from within! Keep your eyes on Israel! Watch over Iran! Things are not as they seem! I am exposing every trap the enemy has set! It is time to flush out the enemy and all his pawns for the time for Justice is at hand. I have called President Donald J Trump to lead. And lead he shall. There are events at hand, that will bring My dearest son Donald closer to me than ever. He is going to step into what I have called him too on his knees before Me. He cannot do on his own what I have called him to do. I am bringing him an upgrade, however it may come in a way no one expected – especially him. Raise your shields once again. Lock them together in unity one with another and with Me and let’s together advance the Line for My Kingdoms sake!” Holy is the word of the Lord.
Although Judge Merchan swiftly denied Donald Trump’s request against sentencing – as in previous post – and ‘unconditional discharge’ logically implies there must have been no real criminal activity, plus many top-flight ‘legal eagles’ being vociferously against Merchan’s rulings – our prophetic sister has received warnings to NOT be distracted from what many speculate the President’s political and religious enemies are attempting to engineer.
SO first, this is what Veronika heard on 3rd January:
Prophetic Warning: “Well-Timed Distractions From an Unfolding Plan of Great Destruction!”
I heard The Spirit say, ”Watch and Pray — for I say this is a well-timed Distraction from an unfolding plan of great Destruction!
Yes! A Distraction, from a deadly assignment that is already underway.
I say, Watch and Pray — for the 10th of January is designed to bring a Distraction to what has been demonically orchestrated by the hands of ISIS, HAMAS, Hezbollah and the Democrat Party,
Listen — and pay attention — for what has been carefully planned and meticulously crafted in darkness shall seek to bring forth mass Destruction in a time of Divine Transition and in the days leading up to the Presidential Inauguration.
I say, get ready! Assign Watchmen on the walls and set guards at the Gate — for the enemy has accelerated his pace to fulfill a fatwa against My Anointed.
I say, look! And look again! Shields up! For the recent terrorist attacks are but the tip of the iceberg compared to what has been carefully coordinated in multiple locations to bring great disruptions — and even greater Destruction by the hands of those hidden in plain sight!”

My mulling upon this morning’s first online event led into a blessing yet to come for my draft of this post. That is, after BibleGateway Verse of The Day:
‘In the past God spoke to our ancestors through the prophets at many times and in various ways, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom also he made the universe.’ (Hebrews 1:1-2 NIV)
As blogged last week, the Lord’s ‘Anonymous Messenger’ brings further information to my series researching ‘Trump’s Heart for God’s Kingdom’ launched during the 2020 presidential election (see Footnote), and as in section 7 of the Urgent Warning:
‘…let’s put bias and anger aside for those for and against, and look objectively at the following list of 10 clear reasons why a Bible-believing Christian should not hate Trump:
Trump is against abortion. Please do not underestimate how much God hates the killing of the innocent unborn, if you minimize that then you need to re-read the bible – Proverbs 6:17.
Trump is a believer in God and will protect Christian values and limit Christian persecution.
Trump is against the woke agenda and will ensure that the traditional family order is promoted.
Trump is pro-Israel. Again please do not underestimate the magnitude of this in a time when the world is increasingly anti-Semitic and believers are going against the Bible by being anti-Israel.
Trump is pro-Bible and prayer and promotes both openly and was openly prayed for during election – how many other influential world leaders can you name that are like that?
The witches in America united to try and stop him being elected. If the ministers of Satan tried their very best to stop him – then putting aside bias and using common-sense will tell you this man must represent some sort of Godly threat to them.
Iran tried to assassinate him. The home and greatest exporter of global terrorism desperately wanted him dead. If the witches and the greatest exporters of the wickedness of terrorism wanted him dead – that may just indicate there is some form of God-factor to his life…
Trump is hated by the Global Woke Army – another clear indication of the God-factor in his life and was fully explained in the previous section. The list of woke celebs, including people who are more evil than he has ever been, should be another indication that was not the side to support.
Trump survived the most miraculous assassination attempt. Not once but several attempts. Even atheists went on to say it was miraculous. The crucial question is this – who saved Trump’s life by making him turn his head and avoid death by millimeters? Remember there is no such thing as “luck” if you’re a Christian – if you claim it was “luck” over God’s sovereignty then your whole faith is on a faulty foundation. The only reasonable conclusion is God – even Trump said God protected him! So why is God saving such a supposed “wicked man” as claimed by Trump-haters? Maybe God sees Trump differently from you and has a purpose for him.
Trump’s historic landslide re-election. Despite all the opposition, assassination attempts, media bias, court cases etc he still won by a complete landslide. Do you really think it is possible he survived all of that without the hand of God?
[I understand Trump’s goal is to move federal government away from Washington D.C. thus decentralising power to individual States on behalf of their citizens and abortion policies will be decided at State level.]
11.Anti-Terrorism
After reading today’s Verse I saw this on Saturday Men’s Breakfast Bible study group: “Whatever we may think about Trump, this was a very courageous message to deliver to an Arab audience … long overdue.”
“..The potential of this region has never been greater. 65 percent of its population is under the age of 30. Like all young men and women, they seek great futures to build, great national projects to join, and a place for their families to call home.
But this untapped potential, this tremendous cause for optimism, is held at bay by bloodshed and terror. There can be no coexistence with this violence.
There can be no tolerating it, no accepting it, no excusing it, and no ignoring it.
Every time a terrorist murders an innocent person, and falsely invokes the name of God, it should be an insult to every person of faith.
Terrorists do not worship God, they worship death.
If we do not act against this organized terror, then we know what will happen. Terrorism’s devastation of life will continue to spread. Peaceful societies will become engulfed by violence. And the futures of many generations will be sadly squandered.
If we do not stand in uniform condemnation of this killing—then not only will we be judged by our people, not only will we be judged by history, but we will be judged by God.
This is not a battle between different faiths, different sects, or different civilizations.
This is a battle between barbaric criminals who seek to obliterate human life, and decent people of all religions who seek to protect it.
This is a battle between Good and Evil.”
It makes a noteworthy contrast to Obama’s Cairo Speech to the Muslim world given under his condition that leaders of the proscribed Muslim Brotherhood should attend, and by which he began to receive the opprobrium of the Egyptian and Saudi leaders. A brief overview of his presidency is presented in Parts 1 and 2 of this series.
NOW with his involvement in Biden family in Ukraine, their whole mess is EXPOSED!
IS DONALD TRUMP’s HEART FOR THE KINGDOM? – THE SERIES:
Further to my five dozen postings on this exceptionally controversial matter there’s now now an update on those of January and February (above) and August’s situation report with this from TGP (click to read advert-free PrintFriendly version):
Let’s check what exactly the renowned South African prophet Kim Clement brought forth on 4.4.2008 when in Seattle: My blogs have mainly considered that word foretells the past four years, wherein it’s been seriously considered – and officially prepared for and documented – that Donald Trump remains in power as a “wartime President” according to ‘devolution of power’. The schizoid stance has also been considered and now we can appreciate how it more properly applies to the Biden-Harris situation.
Nevertheless, my contention on 21 January 2021 that Biden’s ‘inauguration’ would lead to USA being an untrustworthy ally has subsequently proven so regarding Israel – AND with his tenure being more or less Obama term 3, that is a “second president” !! Not to forget his overtures to and support of Iran. Hence, the weekend’s news is not really a shock – but more a confirmation, as in this on Behold Israel channel:
I’m very pleased to read David Reagan, founder of Lion & Lamb Ministries, takes the same posture in his insights into Zechariah’s prophecies about Israel and other nations, and most importantly on the ancient and modern history of Jews in their homeland. Note the start and close of his opening observations to his 5-page article, followed by sub-heads and few extracts (underscoring added)
‘On Friday morning, September 27, I saw Bible prophecy being fulfilled before my very eyes as I watched Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on television address the General Assembly of the United Nations. It happened as he approached the podium to deliver his address. As he walked forward, two-thirds of the delegates got up from their seats and walked out. Netanyahu was left with an almost empty auditorium to speak to.
The specific Bible prophecy this event reminded me of was written by the Hebrew prophet Zechariah 2,500 years ago. Speaking of the end times, he prophesied that God will “make Jerusalem a heavy stone for all the peoples; all who lift it will be severely injured. And all the nations of the earth will be gathered against it.” (Zechariah 12: 3, emphasis added)….
…For over 40 years, I have been teaching that in the end times — in accordance with Bible prophecy — all the nations of the world will turn against Israel. In response, American Christians have reacted in disbelief, arguing that our nation would never turn against Israel. But today, the streets of our largest cities and the campuses of our major universities are filled with violent anti-Semitic protestors (sic) demanding that our nation abandon Israel in support of two of the world’s most vicious terrorist organizations.
How can this be explained?’
A Spiritual Anomaly
‘…The Bible makes it very clear that Satan knows Bible prophecy (Revelation 12:12). Satan can read the signs of the times, and he therefore realizes that the time he has left before Jesus returns is running out fast. He has, therefore, shifted his evil actions against the Jewish people into high gear because he is determined to annihilate them before the return of Jesus. Why? Because the Bible says that a great remnant of the Jews will be saved when Jesus returns (Zechariah 12:10 and Romans 9:27), and Satan is determined to keep that prophecy from being fulfilled…’
Current Anti-Semitism
‘…The Bible says that Satan is the “Father of Lies” (John 8:44). And lies are what he is using to generate hatred of the Jews worldwide and here in America. As proof, consider the current lies he is using to incite hatred of Israel:
The Jews are European Colonialist Occupiers of Palestine
The Jews Practise Apartheid Against The Palestinians
The Jews Need To Free Gaza
The Jews Are Practising Genocide’
A Forgotten Truth
Fulfilled Prophecies Before 20th Century
Fulfilled Prophecies During 20th Century
Jewish Prophecies Yet To Be Fulfilled
Another Holocaust
Repentance
Salvation
Regathering in Belief
Primacy
The Messages
‘Let’s conclude by considering the messages we can draw from the Bible concerning Israel in End Time Prophecy…..(5 in number)’
Conclusion
‘One final thing: What is the message of Israel in Prophecy for you and me? What is its meaning for the Church?
I would contend that it proves that God is faithful to keep all His promises, and that is a very important message for the Church, for God has made a lot of promises to us.
He has promised that at any moment, Jesus is going to appear in the heavens to take His Church — both the living and the dead — out of this world. Then, while He pours out His wrath on an evil and unbelieving world in the Tribulation, believers in Heaven will receive rewards for how they used their spiritual gifts to advance the Lord’s kingdom. After all the rewards have been distributed, we will enjoy the greatest feast in the history of the cosmos — the wedding feat of the Lamb, when the Bride of Christ (His Church) celebrates its union with the Bridegroom (Jesus).
When that feast is concluded, we will return to earth with Jesus and will witness His destruction of the Antichrist and his forces, after which we will celebrate His coronation as King of kings and Lord of lords. Believing Jews will serve in his government in Jerusalem. Glorified Gentiles will be distributed worldwide to reign over those in the flesh (those saved during the Tribulation and who live to the end of it). We will have the privilege of witnessing the world enveloped in peace, righteousness, and justice as the waters cover the sea.
And at the end of the Lord’s thousand-year reign, we will live forever in our new, eternal bodies in a New Jerusalem on and New Earth in the presence of our Creator and Jesus. Maranatha! (1 Corinthians 16:22).’
As a logical consequence of the late Kim Clement’s short prophecy brought on 4th April 2008 on the possibility of USA having two presidents in power and implicit likelihood of official double-mindedness, I published this on the day of Joe Biden’s ‘inauguration’ (click first image to read posting):
To read news reports visit and select linked headings at World Watch Daily.
Amir Tsarfati at Behold Israel posted this forthright denunciation earlier today by Abi Avelow on Telegram’s Pulse of Israel: (emphases re US treachery added):
“Finished an unbelievable powerful and spiritual Jewish New Year and Shabbat, as we enter a new year positive that the positive trajectory of the Jewish people and the land of Israel in this war will continue to improve and bring about an unbelievable ending to this unfortunate war forced upon us following the massacre of Oct 7th.
After catching up on headline news over the past few days that we missed, as we were blessed to have a three day detox from all digital devices and news updates, is that the Biden administration is warning Israel NOT to attack Iran’s nuclear facilities in response to their second massive attack on Israel, and they are warning Iran about the potential energy targets in Iran that the U.S. is “allowing us” to attack.
It should be clear to all why Israel did not update the Biden administration about our planned attack to eliminate Nasrallah and the Hezbollah leadership. The Biden administration pretends to act like an ally while helping Iran, a sworn enemy of the USA as well. I really hope our leadership in Israel ignores the Biden administration and saves humanity by destroying Iran’s nuclear capabilities. Now is the time.
It is the just, moral and best thing to do to provide safety for the whole freedom-loving world. Even the Sunni Muslim countries threatened by Iran want us to do it. Only the morally corrupt Western world, led by the Biden administration is against it. That tells you everything you need to know.
It was a great blessing that almost 200 missiles failed to kill any Israelis but the only tragic fatality was a Palestinian in Jericho.
Here’s Amir’s report on Telegram from a fellow Israeli
“I really don’t think you understand the absolute miracles that we witnessed last night here in Israel. In fact, I am sure you don’t. Let’s break this down.
Israel has three air defense systems, each one of them a technological wonder and that’s not me saying it. That’s Dr. Gold who basically invented the Iron Dome who told me that. The level and sophistication of the Iron Dome is simply unparalleled.
But the Iron Dome only knows how to detonate short range rockets or missiles within a 70 km range, give or take.
Then Israel has the David’s Sling system. That knows how to deal with mid range missiles up to approximately 300 km.
Then we have the Arrow system that literally detonates missiles that can fly outside of the earth’s atmosphere. That has a range of about 2,400 km!! 🤯
Last night, as Iran rained down ballistic missiles on Israel, all three defense systems were activated and implemented to perfection.
The chances of all of these incredibly complex systems working in unison as flawlessly as they did last night, are basically non existent.
If one thing went wrong, if one of those ballistic missiles hit an apartment building, a shopping center, or an army base, we would now be burying hundreds of Israelis.
And all of that is not even the biggest miracle.
A few hours ago, I got a WhatsApp message from a good friend who is a senior executive at Microsoft and who wasn’t exactly a God fearing Jew. Until yesterday.
Here is what he wrote me.
“If you’re looking for miracles man – last night I started believing. Missiles hit all around me but none of them hit my house or any house, for that matter.”
He elaborated some more and shared info about the missiles that he watched land just meters away from very strategic places in Israel, to say the least.
Each one of those defense systems is, in and of itself, pretty miraculous, but what is even more insane is the low casualty numbers from the rockets and missiles that we’re NOT intercepted.
Where did those missiles go? I’ll tell you where. They landed in sand, in water, and in “Empty spaces”.
Have you been to Israel? It’s a microscopic country. What empty spaces? Where are these empty spaces? 🤷♂️
How have hundreds of Iranian ballistic missiles all either get detonated by miraculous systems or totally miss their mark and land in empty spaces causing zero casualties and minimal damage?!
How??
Listen, I get it. This thought process begs the question, where was God during the horrible terrorist attack yesterday? Where was He on October 7th? Where was He during the holocaust?
All valid questions that require a very serious nuanced conversation.
But if you know anything about what had to happen last night and throughout this war in general, for such a low number of casualties, you’ll know that what we witnessed last night was the equivalent of God splitting the sea right before our eyes.
Guess what. When God split the sea, there were those who didn’t believe it was a miracle and didn’t jump in. And there are also those who feel the need to explain it naturally. Ok, that’s fine.
You don’t want to call yesterday an act of God? That’s your choice, but like my Microsoft friend, if you look at these events objectively, you’d have a really hard time seeing those hundreds of deadly missiles land in empty spaces and not see the hand of God.
Last night was an incredible display of the collaboration between two of the powers that protect the Jewish people: The IDF and Hashem.
Last night will go down in history right alongside many of Israel’s accomplishments in this war including the beepers and the unprecedented low ratio between combatant and civilian, as a military operation the likes of which the world has never seen. Ever!
Last night will be analyzed by military strategists and experts for generations.
Last night, we witnessed history.
Last night we witnessed open miracles.
Last night, we witnessed God in all His glory watching over His children.”
(Hillel Fuld on X)
Let us keep praying for the Lord’s protection upon His ancient Covenant people.
Although published a few months ago Mark Davidson provides a useful situation report on how the ‘Four Signposts’ in the Book of Daniel, together with Psalm 83, may apply to the Shiite Islam war against Israel that began with the barbaric genocidal massacre on October 7th a year ago. Read about it in The Second Signpost Is At The Doorstep.
Eight years ago, having re-blogged Patsy Southway’s open vision of a Domino Effect of how our Father will affect His people, I sensed (as in my footnote) a subtle hint that “one of those domino-trails is in the secular world in view of recent, unexpected exposures of political activities.”
I was reminded of that ‘kick-start’ whilst enjoying some Summer reading in the very few hot sunny days so far this year. I drafted some thoughts on that but, the Lord being the Lord, He provided more directly relevant news thus relegating my draft as a second part if we take that 2016 post’s content in sequence.
The above question covered my concerns over Barack Obama’s history of secret and open dealings with Iran over its development of nuclear weapons. Two months ago I blogged…
Now, this week we have this exposure confirming Obama’s deeply dubious activities:
The Free Beacon’s Adam Kredo’s writes,
‘The Biden-Harris White House hosted a Pentagon official at the center of an Iranian government influence operation eight times—after her ties to Tehran’s hardline regime were exposed, raising further questions about the official’s ongoing access to classified information.
Senior Department of Defense official Ariane Tabatabai participated in multiple meetings organized by the White House’s Presidential Personnel Office, which is responsible for recruiting and vetting scores of nominees across the government, visitorlogs reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon show.
Tabatabai was at the White House just two months after Semafor revealed she was a key member of a secretive Iranian influence group, the Iran Experts Initiative, that reported back to Tehran’s foreign ministry, according to the logs. She participated in at least seven other White House gatherings throughout the end of 2023 and into April 2024, mixing with officials from a range of cabinet-level agencies.
Tabatabai’s access to the White House is driving renewed scrutiny in the wake of an investigation by Sen. Tom Cotton (R., Ark.) and Rep. Elise Stefanik (R., N.Y.) into her relationship with vice president Kamala Harris’s national security adviser, Phil Gordon.’Click to continue reading
Adam closes (emphasis mine):
‘Stefanik, in her comments to the Free Beacon, said it is critical that Congress continues to “investigate the appointment of an individual with anti-Israel, pro-Iran sentiments to a position that grants her access to highly sensitive information.”
“Appointing Ms. Tabatabai as chief of staff for the Department of Defense’s Office for Special Operations and Low Intensity Conflict demonstrates either an unacceptable oversight by the Biden-Harris Administration, or worse, an intentional decision to elevate the values and priorities of our adversaries.”
Now we’ve considered what popped up to delay my writing on the main validation of the accuracy of asking the Lord about exposing corruption, let’s look at a witness’ encounter in the next post.
“For the day of the Lord upon all the nations is near; As you have done (ie. to Israel), it shall be done to you; Your ‘reward’ shall return upon your own head. For as you drank on My holy mountain, So shall all the nations drink continually; Yes, they shall drink, and swallow, And they shall be as though they had never been.” Obadiah 15 -16 (NKJV – courtesy BibleGateway.com)
Most will be aware of news of Iran’s threat to attack Israel on a multi-front as a result of its eliminating two top-level genocidal terrorists, and I ask you to kindly bear with this Briefing’s brevity in recommending links for further reading, especially John McTernan’s INSIGHTS: Israel at War.
In welcoming readers, my Bio Information relates how the Lord introduced me as a New Ager in the mid-1980s to a seminal book on geopolitics and ancient texts in the Bible. Whilst skimming through the book and glancing at its photos of Jerusalem’s Temple Mount I was watching a BBC report on the Iran-Iraq war. I was astonished at it showing elite units of Iran and Iraq rehearsing the liberation of that city! BUT the Lord had told prophet Zechariah; as I was to learn much later (emphases mine):
Chapter 12 – A Prophecy: the Word of the Lord concerning Israel.
‘The Lord, who stretches out the heavens, who lays the foundation of the earth, and who forms the human spirit within a person, declares: 2 “I am going to make Jerusalem a cup that sends all the surrounding peoples reeling. Judah will be besieged as well as Jerusalem. 3 On that day, when all the nations of the earth are gathered against her, I will make Jerusalem an immovable rock for all the nations. All who try to move it will injure themselves.4 On that day I will strike every horse with panic and its rider with madness,’ declares the Lord. ‘I will keep a watchful eye over Judah, but I will blind all the horses of the nations. 5 Then the clans of Judah will say in their hearts, “The people of Jerusalem are strong, because the Lord Almighty is their God.”
6 ‘On that day I will make the clans of Judah like a brazier in a woodpile, like a flaming torch among sheaves. They will consume all the surrounding peoples right and left, but Jerusalem will remain intact in her place.
7 ‘The Lord will save the dwellings of Judah first, so that the honour of the house of David and of Jerusalem’s inhabitants may not be greater than that of Judah. 8 On that day the Lord will shield those who live in Jerusalem, so that the feeblest among them will be like David, and the house of David will be like God, like the angel of the Lord going before them. 9 On that day I will set out to destroy all the nations that attack Jerusalem.”
Long-time subscribers may recall the almost one hundred postings on the Gog-Maggog alliance, of which Persia/Iran and Russia are principal participants (per Ezekiel 38-39).
Also, the Book of Daniel provides ‘Four Signposts’ as covered by Mark Davidson.
[PS. Not forgetting Psalm 83: A prayer to frustrate conspiracy against Israel.]

The previous post reports Paris’ blackout, except for Le Sacre Coeur in Montmartre, and later I note Telegram’s Prophecies Fulfilled, which monitors prophecies brought by Julie Green, posted this:
“Iran is about to be in your news for something very significant.”
I AM BRINGING A GREAT DELIVERANCE TO MY EAGLE THAT IS ABOUT TO BE CELEBRATED
Date Word Received: November 21, 2022
“For I, the Lord, this day am telling My children not to give up on Me and not to give up on your freedoms. I will not leave things the way they are. Things will begin to drastically and suddenly change, and the world will not be able to deny I am the One True God. Your enemies will know who My children are and who My nations are that they cannot have. I will not be mocked, and neither will My children.”
Eight years ago on 10th May 2016, Patsy Southway described a Domino Effect of this vision
“A couple of weeks ago I was sharing with a few close friends about an open vision I had received from the Lord. In the vision I saw a long wavy line of dominos. Several, of which, were different colours; with their usual number of dots on them. I sensed that each domino had been strategically placed in preparation for the momentum that occurs when the first one is touched.
Then God said to me that during the month of May many will see the beginning of a ‘domino effect’ in their lives. As God’s finger touches the very first domino; the rippling effect will be breathtaking!”
Republishing it, I mused there may be more than one trail of ‘prophetical promises’ Patsy saw and possibly having a counterpart elsewhere; that is, not of developments within God’s Kingdom on earth, but a trail of exposing evil schemes in politicians!!
‘I cannot but think one of those domino-trails is in the secular world in view of recent, unexpected exposures of political activities. Eg….President Obama’s unwelcome interference in the UK/EU Referendum and now his aide Ben Rhodes’outrageous boasting about their manipulating media lackies with fiction and duplicity over the Iran nuclear deal. For the reasons behind this expose read here. (White House Christian correspondent Bill Koenig often refers to incompetence and lack of required experience and skills of Potus’ aides.)’
NOW 8 YEARS LATER ONE TRAIL OF DOMINOES HAS LED BACK TO ITS START!!
‘Under the Obama-Biden Administration, then-Secretary of State John Kerry allegedly blocked multiple FBI arrest operations against people linked to Iran’s nuclear and ballistic missile programs. That was in order to spur further negotiations on the stalled, controversial Iran nuclear deal with the US.
That’s according to unclassified, internal FBI emails recently obtained by Sens. Ron Johnson (R-Wisconsin) and Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), and through legally protected whistleblower disclosures.’
Quite an indictment, so continue reading their brief demand for full accountability and accompanying links by clicking here.
Here’s more exploding exposures consequential to FBI raiding Mar-a-Lago, note that Dan Bongino has served in the US Secret Service; also covering my long-standing suspicion on Obama’s actions with Iran, as in Reprise of my ‘take’ on Iran vs Israel:
‘Of course, this was all a lie. Dan Bongino was one of the first fire back at the corrupt intelligence agency.
Dan Bongino: This is absolutely a big deal. Don’t buy the bull… otherwise. It was not a standard op. The MAL raid was an unprecedented action with significant potential for confusion and blue on blue issues and conflict. It also involved competing equities between federal agencies (FBI & USSS) with equal statutory claims to interrupt the other’s activities. Anyone telling you otherwise is either dumb, or playing dumb. I’ve done more deconfliction with Russians in a foreign op I did for the USSS than the FBI did in their search warrant at MAL. Only a dumbass would pitch the “it’s the standard paperwork” line. Go serve a search warrant at the White House in the cocaine case while filling out your “standard paperwork” and see how that works out for you. Wake up!

Citing Fox News:
FOX News text continues on 4th Amendment:
“The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.”
Telegram response continues:
“..And it’s why the FBI & DOJ must go before a judge for guidance & clarity on the issues surrounding ANY raid before it is approved.
BOTH OF THESE AGENCIES HAD THE AUTHORITY TO USE DEADLY FORCE!?!
So can you see the problem with using ANYTHING “standard” in a situation that’s ANYTHING but standard??
ZERO rationale for a judge allowing standard protocol that basically sets up the perfect scenario for two groups of ARMED FEDERAL AGENTS (who are only trying to do their jobs) to engage in a BLOODBATH.
And sadly, maybe that’s the exact scenario the DEMS & DEEP STATE wanted??? 🤷🏼♀️
It’s not fair to Secret Service Agents.
It’s not fair to FBI Agents.
It’s not fair to President Trump.
It’s reckless lawfare being openly used to weaponize the DOJ & our entire Judiciary Branch of Government.”
“Now for the main event of the evening guys. My phone was blowing up yesterday as this was unfolding, and so when I went back and looked at what was prophesied. Well my jaw kind of dropped – and you have that ‘oh dear God’ moment in your flesh for a moment when you see it – but there is some very serious prophecy fulfilling right now in the earth and in Iran. But I believe this prophecy fulfilling is going to begin to change the landscape of Iran which is going to affect the entire Middle East!”
Prophecy script as published in Amanda’s Ark of Grace website (click title)
“Before we get into prophecy–I am going to point out 3 events leading up to this.
Keep in mind this is happening within this 50-day window that starts at Passover and goes to Shavuot on June 11, 2024, where the Jews received the law.
50 is the jubilee, and it was the 50th anniversary of the Yom Kippur War in October 2023 when Iran’s proxy Hamas brutally attacked Israel.
It was October 7, 2023, when the attack happened, May 2024 is the 7th month since the attack and the start of the war.
The foreign minister and 7 others are dead, there is that number 7 AGAIN.
50 is the jubilee, where captives are set free, what was stolen must be returned, and land must be given back to the people.
Big Ben’s hands freeze at 9 am for more than an hour before the famous clock sounds the wrong number of bongs in a major malfunction two years after it was refurbished.
I not only did a Live broadcast after this happened, but I did a short that is up on all our platforms.
And, I said when Ben stops (Saul was from the tribe of Benjamin)–Judah begins (David was from the line of Judah). I also shared that this was a sign warning of a major changing of the guard that was about to happen throughout the earth.
Also, because you cannot make this stuff up, right before the Kentucky Derby, on May 4, 2024, a horse is injured and taken out of the race. This horse’s name was No More Time!
Ben stops, and then NO MORE TIME is taken OUT OF THE RACE!!
5.17.21 [US date-style; May 17th] “The funneling of funds the channels that make a tunnel from Iran to Hamas shall be disrupted says the Lord of Hosts, and the advisors to the Ayatollah shall be struck. There shall be leadership in the hour, for this is a tipping point says the Lord, shall be weighed and unexpected strikes to leadership of those who threaten Israel, of Canada, and of the US, watch Germany as well says the Lord in this hour.”
6.9.22 “And says the Lord of Hosts, Israel is about to make a very BOLD MOVE AN URGENT MOVE AND IRAN SHALL HAVE ONE OF THE LARGEST HITS AND LOSSES IT HAS EVER HAD AS THEIR WEB SHALL BE HIT IN ITS CORNERS AND TORN DOWN, SAYS THE LORD OF HOSTS. WATCH AND SEE AS IT ERUPTS ON THE NEWS AND LEAVES IRAN IN A VERY VULNERABLE POSITION. JUDGMENT HAS COME TO THE HOUSE OF THE AYATOLLAH AND ENTERED ITS HALLS, SAYS THE LORD OF HOSTS.”
2.10.23 “And says the Spirit of the Lord this day,the leadership of Iran is on a crumbling pedestal and the innocent blood they shed is being accounted to them for their wage for their bridge is about to fall down for the people are desperate and crying out, I the Lord hear their cries and I the Lord am moving upon my firstborn to covertly assist the people of Iran as leadership shall be removed under mysterious circumstances as some deep within in the government of Iran are assisting Israel, the Bonhoeffer’s, who see the sheer evil of such leadership. I the Lord am protecting them and they are assisting Israel for a BIG STRIKE AND BLOW IS COMING AND IT SHALL RATTLE THE UN HOW SUCH WAS DONE AND CHINA SHALL PUFF UP ONCE AGAIN AND BE HIT IN THE CORE THAT DEFLATES AND DECOMPRESSES THEM YET AGAIN.”
2.26.23 “I, the Lord thy God, made the Philistines bow, I, the Lord thy God, made Israel bow. I, the Lord thy God, am beginning to break the back of Ayatollah, because Iran will bow. And I, the Lord thy God, am raising up a plan and a strategy in Israel that is going to surround Iran on all sides. And it is going to encapsulate them, says the Lord. It is going to encapsulate them and it is going to cause the handshake that was seen with a red nation to be severed and broken, says the Lord. Because demons squabble, says the Lord, demons squabble and you shall publicly, says the Lord, see that squabbling begin.
For I am calling through the darkness and the noise, Benjamin, son of my right hand. I am calling through the darkness and I am going to cause you to turn to my Word and to know in whom your salvation is. And he shall know it and at some point in his life he shall declare it, says the Lord. For he is coming under that yoke and he will be the ox for me, says the Lord, that topples the regime of Iran. He shall be the ox for Me that helps plow (sic) the fields in America. For your nation is meant to be a friend and a brother to Israel. And that needs to be reconciled in this season, says the Lord. For they have attempted to separate it, they have attempted to sever the relationship and destroy it. And in this season, by My balm, I, the Lord, shall begin to soothe the wounds and the boils that are broken out and heal that relationship. And those that want to be Sauls and go after their own people, you shall fall by your own sword in this season. You shall, You shall. For you have turned to the way of Cain.”
4.19.24
It was the 6th hour that darkness came over the whole land.
It is the 6th month since the war started in October 2023, in the 6th month darkness comes over the land of Israel, and Iran fires over 300 drones, rockets, and missiles at Israel. 331, 331 in Hebrew represents Emmanuel which means God with Us!!
Now, in the 6th month darkness has come over the land, when Jesus Yeshua was on the cross it was in the 6th hour that darkness came over the whole land.
Darkness came over the land until the 9th hour (3:00pm) the 9th plague over Egypt was DARKNESS.
The 6th plague over Egypt in Exodus 9:8-9.
Then the LORD said to Moses and Aaron, “Take handfuls of soot from a furnace and have Moses toss it into the air in the presence of Pharaoh. It will become fine dust over the whole land of Egypt, and festering boils will break out on men and animals throughout the land.”
DARKNESS coming over Iran in the 6th month since the war, the 6th hour.
The 6th plague was boils breaking out in the land, watch for this as well.
If we are in the 6th month of this war in Israel and it’s April, then July would be the 9th month (the 9th hour). July 4th in America is when we gained our Independence from tyranny.
May is the 7 month–7th hour that darkness is over the land.
4.22.24 “And the Spirit of the Lord says this day! Fear not for I am with you, be not dismayed for I AM your God, behold I will strengthen you, I will uphold you with MY righteous right hand says the Lord of Hosts. Be ready MY children, gird up your loins in an hour of tumult, and shaking, and prideful rebellions rising in the earth, leaders saying in their hearts I will ascend as high as the heavens, I will destroy the nations who call on the name of the Lord, in their hearts, they have entertained such a pious position says the Lord. Thus says the Lord pride cometh before destruction and a Haughty Spirit before a big fall says the Lord, for serpents, have risen up for a strike, the prince of Persia, that spirit has risen up in a rebellion to stir the people of that land says the Lord.
Thus says the Lord, the rise shall bring a hard fall for the Ayatollah’s court says the Lord for the courts of nations that have welcomed the persecuting spirit in and have entertained its offers says the Lord, those nations in this time are set to be threshed says the Lord.
Thus says the Lord, the underground church in Iran, your shackles are about to come off says the Lord, your redemption draweth nigh says the Lord, call unto ME people of Iran for your leaders are bringing your nation under a curse, WOE unto them says the Lord WOE unto them, WOE unto their meeting with Russia, Woe unto Russia says the Lord, you trifle too close to MY LAND AND MY BUSINESS SAYS THE LORD, YOU SHALL BE ROPED AND TIED AS CATTLE FOR HOW YOU THINK YOU WILL INTERFERE YOU SHALL BE BOUND FROM GOING AS FAR AS YOU SO DESIRE, SAYS THE LORD.”
8.31.21 ISRAEL AND THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA “There shall be a very threatening and destructive statement made by the leadership of Iran during this time as that principality is stirring them up to indeed make a power grab at such a time. However, says the Lord of Hosts, the net they are planning to lay for Israel they and Hezbollah and their funders from other countries who desire for Iran to do their dirty work who desire to make Iran an extension of themselves for such destruction against other countries and peoples, so I the Lord thy God shall gut open their plan and reveal the inward most parts as 2 terrorist groups have met in secret and are looking to make a super-force of terror of power.”
‘In the Arab world, a video of a “fortune teller” Laila Abdellatif, who predicted the helicopter crash of Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi a few months ago, is being circulated. Let’s wait and see how fast she will be accused for being a Mossad agent…’
“A major leader in Iran will die, and more to come. The plans they had against America and Israel will be discovered and announced. Yes, they were paid with money from this fraudulent government [RB: US admin!] to commit another terrorist attack on your land and Israel. Iran was not only compensated very well financially but was given things to help with their nuclear power, too. Iran, I will judge you in this hour, and everything you have will be taken from you. I will bring you to your knees with nothing left to fight back.”
[NB see also re “Iraq, the same goes for you…. I will bring your nation to nothing in this hour. Your plans will be destroyed completely Me, saith the Lord. You thought you would silence Israel and the United States, but now you will be silenced. These are the days of Haman. – Syria will be in the news. Watch to see what was taking place in that land. Judgment will be seen big time, and you will see what was hidden in that land from you, United States. More covert operations against you? Biolabs? Yes…”]
“The Israeli Army will be in your news. They stopped an invasion from taking place, but My hand was there with them during this, when actions their enemies and the world were making against Israel. Your enemies thought they could sneak into this Nation to cause utter destruction and chaos. That’s never going to happen when they are up against Me, saith the Lord of Hosts.
Turkey: this country will be in your news. Truth is breaking out all over this world.
An Iranian leader will be in your news. Death has come to him. Judgment has hit his home, and there will be more like him in the coming days. This is the season of the Great Harvest. They are all reaping what they have sown upon this Earth.”
“Iran is about to come out shouting and threatening My Nations of the United States and Israel with their power and weapons. They’re at the point of weakness, Iran thinks. But Iran can’t see what is hiding, and they will never see it coming. Iran’s failure is about to be seen. It doesn’t matter what it looks like right now, My children. Do not fear. All they have are words. Iran is about to fall big time, and they will never recover from this fall, saith the Lord of Hosts.”
Rarely do I bother with statistics but I got nudged to see how many items I’ve posted about Iran and checked the category list, only to be amused at the ‘God-incidental’ number 212, as shown >
NOW, lets dig into this summary of the rationale to my monitoring events in the Middle-East, as posted on 27th August 2015:
In case you may be unaware of updates to my covering remarks on Joel Rosenberg’s Iran performing its own nuclear inspections, I will briefly relate what happened. Then we’ll get to the real heart of this issue, which I’ve kept an eye on since mid-1980s.
