Re. Two Presidents prophecy, allies can no longer rely on America (PPU 128)

‘Two President’ prophecy coming to pass. Can dis-United States of America be trustworthy ally and keep its place as global leader?

Regrettably, further to the above post-‘inauguration’ post, Biden continues to display weakness and unreliability in failing to support Israel…(along with Britain’s Cameron!)

PS. Yesterday Melanie Philips writes in Israel Alone – Weep America,

‘In my article (The American Betrayal of Israel) last week I wrote that America was abandoning Israel. Today, the Biden administration wrote its name in the annals of infamy by openly joining the axis of evil against those defending civilisation.

The UN Security Council has passed a resolution demanding an immediate ceasefire in Gaza for the remainder of Ramadan, and the immediate and unconditional release of Israeli hostages.

Breaking with its historic policy of vetoing hostile resolutions at the UNSC  to protect Israel against those working for its destruction and the defeat of the west, the US abstained today and so the resolution was passed. 

Even more appallingly (if that’s possible) the UK, the Biden administration’s poodle and whose Foreign Secretary, Lord Cameron, has been threatening Israel with an end to arms sales unless it does what he and the US State Department are demanding, actually voted for the resolution….’ 

End-times Briefing 6: New Ager sees first pieces of God’s ‘jigsaw’

[First posted 16.6.20]

How a New Age follower got hooked into the Bible’s prophecies.

A unique take from die-hard anti-Christian confronted by facts in non-Christian book!

As an ex-unbeliever rescued by Jesus Christ in person and ‘born-again’ by Holy Spirit into life everlasting through His sinless blood, I reiterate Chuck Missler’s concern:

“You may not believe what the Bible says, but what’s utterly astonishing is that so very many claim to believe in Jesus yet have no grasp of the idea Christ is to literally return and rule!”

The aim of these Briefings is to help my readers be better informed and thus grasp that truth. If an ardently anti-church guy deeply involved in New Age teachings, who viewed ‘Bible-bashers’ as bigots, could grasp and keep hold of this mind-blowing stuff, then how much easier is it for believers in Jesus to fully appreciate these things?

So, come on a revelatory journey with me that hints at the relevance of Bible ‘coding’:

BACKGROUND

Personal events over the last couple of years brought insights into formative events in my childhood that have a bearing upon why I must write – as if pre-ordained destiny!

Mulling over one particular memory suggests the Lord played a direct role in what had happened – as though He instigated the ‘first contact’ and thus strongly stimulated what became an abiding fascination within my spirit. That is, His grace in action…

Then at the right time decades later, He revisited the sown seed that was emerging from below ground and simultaneously brought together two things – a book and a television – to kick-start life-changing events!

Moreover, last year when speaking about prophecies being like ‘jigsaw pieces’ I shared what had got me interested in prophecy. BUT only then did it dawn upon me that’s what I’d seen on those pages and that screen: two ‘jigsaw pieces’! I hadn’t put two and two together until over 30 years later! Dohh!

By covering the identical topic, the printed and spoken words I read and heard in mid-80s got connected and opened up a much bigger intellectual, historical and spiritual picture. They were the very first two physical ‘jigsaw pieces’ I’d encountered and fitted together tightly, as though in an awesome ‘invisible jigsaw’ – one I’d begin blogging about twenty years later.

And only now do I notice two more ‘pieces’!

‘FIRST CONTACT’

Having Catholic parents, it was church every Sunday. As soon as I was able to read, my mother showed me how her Missal explained what’s said during Mass. Each Sunday had a page with picture depicting the liturgical theme, as in this copy page.

Being very keen on astronomy I was intrigued by the picture for the First Sunday in Advent. It shows Jesus standing on clouds in the midst of the sun, moon and shooting stars; but over a burning earth!

Back then I didn’t know it indicated events predicted to precede his Second Advent!

Being a visually-minded boy gifted in drawing, my favourite cartoon stories were those on science fiction. Also, a richly illustrated book By Spaceship to the Moon is a much-thumbed Christmas present of 1955 from my grandmother. And so in the next couple of years we’d go picking blackberries near the huge radio telescope being built at Jodrell Bank, Cheshire.

As you may surmise, that Advent picture had left a subtle impact upon my fertile imagination.

Jodrell Bank radio telescope (1959)

Years later my historical interest led me into Elizabethan-Jacobean codes and self-publishing a booklet on how the misquotation from The Tempest on the Shakespeare monument in Westminster Abbey has a geometrical code of the name of Sir Francis Bacon. (He was involved with producing the King James Bible – see Bio Info).

1st & 2nd PIECES – JERUSALEM

Invisible Hand

By mid-1980s, as editor/publisher for a New Age group, I was well-placed for one of its leaders who dealt with mail-order books to hand me a brand new book on international politics and the Middle-East. Moreover, it examined ancient predictions on those highly complex issues!

So, whilst watching a documentary about the then current Iraq-Iran war, I grabbed the book to casually flick through, pausing at illustrations and charts and noted repeated references to the significance of Jerusalem.

Thus, I was stunned upon hearing the TV narrator say: “Elite units from opposing forces are rehearsing an attack upon Jerusalem” – despite being at war with one another, these opposing armies united to rehearse their ‘liberation’ of Jerusalem – ie. its recapture from the Jews!

Immediately, my head sung to see film footage of that violent rehearsal – my jaw dropped! Wouldn’t yours?

Therefore, this book most definitely is be taken seriously. It grabbed and got my full attention and became of seminal value in understanding these End-times well before I started reading the Bible a few years later!

Thus, began my appreciation as a non-believer in the Bible as prophecy. This reality got confirmed by peculiar instances (‘God-incidents’) after I’d begun blogging, especially at the time of this blog’s 4th anniversary in November 2013 [The Invisible Hand Reappears and Did My Triple Warning About Iran Affect WordPress Connections?] and two year later [What’s Weird About Writing About Iran].

More importantly, that mid-1980s event began loosening my disdain of churchgoers. It needed, however, a visit from the Lord to rescue me from the devil’s camp before that decade was out. [Read I’m FREE! for my full testimony.]

Furthermore, upon revisiting The Invisible Hand I now recall a couple of other ‘jigsaw pieces’ confirming this ‘heaven-sent’ book was just right for me.:

3rd PIECE – BIBLE CODES

Being interested in codes and writing a booklet on one of significance to literature, my attention was drawn to Victor Dunstan’s claiming the Bible holds coded and plain-text prophecies by ancient seers and which relate directly to Britain’s Mandate in Palestine. He also covered historical data on the Mandate and the Middle-East’s religions and politics.

Consequently, I became more alert to Middle-Eastern and globally-related events, which suggest things may not be as they seem at first glance – or as reported in the media, and definitely not the BBC! I was amazed to learn that many modern events are of Biblical significance. Therefore, I began watching events unfold – occasionally and slowly at first, but rapidly and accelerating after we entered the new Millennium, or ‘3rd Day’ since Christ.

Also, I was well-acquainted with the Western esoteric tradition and the Kabbala in Jewish mysticism, so I was at ease with Dunstan’s term ‘ancient seers’.

Using prophet Daniel’s mathematical coding of ‘Time’, this author extrapolated that all prophecies would come to a climax in 1992 with Russia being the lead villain against Israel. However, he didn’t foresee the collapse of communism in 1989! Yet that year proved pertinent because the ‘Middle East Peace Process’ had just got under way in October 1991 and led to the Oslo Accords of 1993. [Latest: New details emerge of how Russia prevented Obama’s anti-Israel resolution.]

Furthermore, Dunstan accurately foresaw the resurgence of Islam as a militant force:

‘We are about to witness a mighty and almost unbelievable upsurge in Islam. Though we see the first signs of an Islamic-revival (it) has a long way to to go but it’s going to go that ‘long way’ very quickly.’ [page 198]

Consequently, his seminal book has received a number of mentions during the course of my blogging (Invisbl_Hand tag refers).

Here’s the book’s fold-out table I saw on cross-links between prophet Daniel and the Book of Revelation, under a photo of the Dome on the Rock mosque in Jerusalem…

The author’s easy, conversational and non-religious style was clear from the outset as he introduced his material gleaned from ‘ancient seers’ and what they call “the time of the end” – the days in which we’re living. He emphasises the mathematical skill of Dr Grattan Guiness’ in his Light for the Last Days (1887) in using those sages’ writings to foretell the deliverance of Jerusalem from the Turks 30 years later.

However, his book opens with a prediction I’d been personally been aware of for twenty years.:

4th PIECE – JFK’s ASSASSINATION

Doubtless you recall where you were and what you were doing when you heard news of the terrorist attack on New York’s twin towers on 11th September 2001? Similarly, I well recall being outside my school’s dining hall on 22nd November 1963 upon hearing news of President Kennedy’s murder. The next year, however, I was intrigued to read about a lady who’d predicted that alarming event, and to which Victor Dunstan refers and uses as a lead-in to the thousands of years-old predictions of the Old Testament prophets:

ON THE SECOND COMING

The author’s frank admission shown below indicates his frank opinion on the possible return of Jesus and suggests why The Invisible Hand is free from church jargon and ‘Christianese’.:

P 307 Chpt 18 – Ancient Seers Foretell Event to ‘Out Science Fiction’ Science Fiction

WHY 1992?

To expand upon the above reference on 1992, the next image (which I hope you can read) tells how Dunstan sees the ‘Times’ in the Book of Daniel point to 1917 and 1948, as well as to 1992. And he demonstrates how these periods can link not only into the Christian calendar but also into the Muslim one – asking if that implies a linkage to the ‘abomination of desolation’ (Daniel 9:27) and thus to the Anti-Christ.:

ICEJ President’s recap and report on Israel vs terrorism

MUST WATCH, click to play > https://youtu.be/tb7-7HQrPXo?si=1l6HgZq1WBv6_i-j

International Christian Embassy In Jerusalem’s President Dr. Jürgen Bühler delivered the keynote address at the annual Israel Breakfast during the National Religious Broadcasters convention held in February in Nashville, Tennessee.

The ICEJ-USA branch co-sponsored the traditional breakfast, which is the foremost pro-Israel event at the yearly gathering of Christian media and publishers from around the globe.

Dr. Bühler described how much Israel has changed since the shocking Hamas invasion of October 7, adding it also needs to be a “game changer” for Christians to stand with Israel as never before. Many Israelis have lost trust in the government and IDF, he explained, and instead are turning towards God in prayer.

He added the nation also is more united to confront Palestinian terrorism, including those who once hoped in and ardently promoted the peace process. Realising they’ve been duped and betrayed, no longer can any Palestinians be trusted!

Dr. Bühler also expressed hope that Gaza could be transformed and steered away from hating Jews by allowing Evangelical Christians to be more involved in its rebuilding, and thus realising there’s a far better way of reconciliation and living through Jesus Christ.

Iran Claims Credit for Oct. 7. Hamassacre, Saying it was Revenge for President Trump’s Killing Suleimani

Terrorist official alludes to coming Psalm 83 war – Mark Davidson

Mark Davidson posted this news on 3rd December:

Mark writes:

‘The interviewer asked, “So can you promise another October 7?” The interviewer was referring to the Hamas attack on Israeli villages on that date in which 1,200 Israeli civilians were slaughtered.

Osama Hamdan, the Hamas official, responded, “I can promise that a war of liberation is coming, not just another October 7.” The interviewer then asked when this war might occur. Hamdan then said, “I do not think it is far off.”

Later, he opines:

‘Now, in light of the coming Second Signpost, and the possible Psalm 83 war to occur in parallel, we must consider that this “war of liberation” IS the Psalm 83 war.’

On our spiritually limited adversary – Neil Mackereth

ON TARGET: this latest of my friend Neil Mackereth drew enemy flak whilst he was writing. In its Introduction he refers to his paper of 2021 published God-incidentally as Wow-Wotta-Wednesday: Know Our Enemy’s Strategy along with my 3,000th post –  Satan Has Limited Power, by Veronika West together with a related vision.

THEREFORE, I urge my readers to weigh and pray carefully:

THE  ADVERSARY

Introduction

A couple of years ago I wrote an article entitled “Know Your Enemy” in which I considered some of Satan’s tactics in striving to fulfil his grand strategy of thwarting God’s plan for the redemption of mankind. At that time my focus was on Satan’s endeavours to destroy Israel and to introduce a new world order.

Since then, things have taken a turn for the worse. A great darkness has come upon the Earth and Satan is intensifying his efforts to destroy Israel and the Jewish people.

In this article I ask: Who is Satan and why is he opposed to mankind in general, and Israel in particular?

Answering these questions requires some speculation. The comments that follow do not have full scriptural authority and should be treated with caution!

Satan

In Hebrew the word “satan” means adversary. Satan has come to be used as the name for a fallen angel who rebelled against God and sought to take God’s throne for himself. The Bible gives little information about Satan’s origins and downfall. In Isaiah and Ezekiel there are references to the fall of the “morning star”, translated as Lucifer, which some interpret as referring to Satan, while others suggest it relates to the King of Babylon.

There has been much conjecture and many hypotheses over the centuries: some suggest Satan was a very powerful (perhaps the most powerful) angel and his pride and jealousy led him to rebel against God’s decision to create man (I have not found a scriptural foundation for this theory).

Another suggestion for Satan’s existence is that God, in creating man, wanted us to have freedom of choice, i.e. not be automatons. In order to have freedom of choice (i.e. the option to choose to love, follow and obey God) an alternative has to exist! God gives us all the information we need in order to make an informed choice about the gospel of God and the reality of Jesus as our Messiah. The gospel of God will continue to be preached for as long as God ordains, and during that time, Satan is permitted to roam the Earth (has a legal right?). Again, though some aspects of this theory can be inferred (e.g., from Job), there is no clear scriptural confirmation.

Perhaps Satan’s most significant advantage is that many people do not believe he exists! His and his henchmen’s depiction, particularly at Halloween, as some sort of demonic cartoon characters, has encouraged the view that the devil and his demons are figures of fun; a mythical oddity of no significance to 21st Century man.

However, we can see from Scripture that Jesus took Satan very seriously and even though Satan’s destiny is clear, in the meantime he and his demons will make every effort to undermine God’s plan.

Satan’s Ploys

Satan knows what the Bible says and that the book of Revelation shows that Jesus will return to Jerusalem to take His rightful place on the throne of David, as King of the Jews. He will rule His people and the world from Jerusalem.

Throughout history, Satan has been attempting to prevent the fulfilment of God’s plans. Satan appears to believe that, if he is successful, his eventual banishment to “the lake of burning sulphur” (Revelation 20:10) will not happen. His ploys include:

1. Tempting Adam and Eve (and hence mankind) to sin and fall from God’s grace

2. Seeking to have the baby Jesus killed

3. Tempting Jesus to sin and so become unworthy as Saviour

4. Seeking to destroy Jesus

5. Dispersing the Jews to fragment and destabilise their national identity and/or;

6. Destroying all Jews so that Jesus has no Jewish Kingdom over which to rule and reign;

7. Preventing the re-establishment of a Jewish nation state (Israel) and/or

8. Destroying Israel or Jerusalem, or dividing Jerusalem to ensure areas, particularly the Temple Mount, remain under the control of Muslims

Satan tried the first and seemed to be successful; however, God instigated plan B (or was it always plan A – God is omniscient!). The second ploy was thwarted and the third robustly rebutted by Jesus. Satan appeared to have achieved his goal with the crucifixion, but apparent victory turned to spectacular defeat when Jesus rose from the dead. The fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth ploys have been ongoing throughout history, with varying degrees of success.

However, I want to emphasise the miracle of the preservation of Jewish identity and traditions, over thousands of years, and the huge significance of the re-establishment of Israel as a nation state in 1948; and the reunification of Jerusalem in 1967.

Nevertheless, the Temple Mount remains in the hands of gentiles. Zechariah 1:14-16 may be a “model” for the present situation on the Temple Mount: “Proclaim this word: This is what the Lord Almighty says: ‘I am very jealous for Jerusalem and Zion, and I am very angry with the nations that feel secure. I was only a little angry, but they went too far with the punishment.’ “Therefore this is what the Lord says: ‘I will return to Jerusalem with mercy, and there my house will be rebuilt. And the measuring line will be stretched out over Jerusalem,’ declares the Lord Almighty.” (See Addenda below for detail)

What is the Point?

The point is that “the devil roams around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour”. Hamas is the embodiment of that image of Satan, roaming around to devour people. It is imperative that Christians follow events carefully, seek to understand what is happening from a spiritual perspective and encourage their governments to support Israel.

Addenda: Comments on The Temple Mount

The Temple Mount warrants closer examination. The Jews, or more accurately those practicing Judaism, consider the Temple Mount to be the place where God chose to manifest His divine presence (Isaiah 8:18, Psalm 9:11). There has been much confusion about whether the Temple Mount is on Mount Zion.

From 2 Samuel 5:6-9 it is clear that Mount Zion was a fortress that King David captured from the Jebusites. He renamed it City of David and developed and expanded the site. The scope of the City of David can be seen from modern day archaeological excavations. King David’s son and successor, King Solomon, built the first Temple on Mount Moriah (2 Chronicles 3:1-2) in 957 BC. Mount Moriah is probably synonymous with what we now call the Temple Mount, though its exact location has not been confirmed.

It seems that with the building of the Temple the term “Zion” was expanded to include the Mount and subsequently the whole of Jerusalem and the people of Israel (hence Zionism and Zionists). This collective term can be seen in Isaiah 40:9, Jeremiah 31:12 and Zechariah 9:13. The first Temple was destroyed by the Babylonians in 586 BC.

Zion became a term used for the people of God (Isaiah 60:14) and this theme continues through the New Testament (Hebrews 12:22; Revelation 14:1). Peter refers to Jesus as the ‘Cornerstone of Zion’ (1 Peter 2:4-6).

The second Temple was built, under the direction of Zerubbabel, in 516 BC and destroyed by the Romans in 70 AD. Jewish tradition maintains that there will be a third Temple on the Temple Mount and that its design has been prophesied in Ezekiel 40 to 47.

Sunni Muslims consider the Mount to be the “Noble Sanctuary”, the third most holy site in Islam. It is revered as the location to which Mohammad was transported for his ascent to Heaven. The Dome of the Rock and the al-Aqsa Mosque were built on the Mount after the Muslim conquest of Jerusalem in 637 AD. The Dome of the Rock, completed in 692 AD, is in the middle of the Temple Mount, on the site where many (but not all!) Biblical scholars believe the Third Temple should be built.

The question remains, why is the Temple Mount still under Muslim control?

In 1967, the Jordanians, with the help of Syria and Egypt, attacked Israel. Prior to the 1967 “Six-Day War” Jordan controlled East Jerusalem, including the Temple Mount, and the West Bank. Israel’s armed forces defeated the attack and occupied East Jerusalem and the West Bank.

In the aftermath of the war Israel agreed the return of the control of the Temple Mount to the Islamic Waqf (guardians of Muslim holy sites). This gesture has not led to peace and reconciliation! The Temple Mount is an enclave within Israeli controlled Jerusalem. The Muslims have been granted authority to manage the Temple Mount in accordance with their traditions, while Israel continues to have technical control of the site and monitor access. To add to the confusion, the Palestinian Authority claims sovereignty over the Temple Mount.

In Summary:

Zion was the fortress that King David captured from the Jebusites. He renamed it City of David. It is thought that the location of Zion expanded to include the Temple Mount, and subsequently Jerusalem and the people of Israel. Following the destruction of Jerusalem the name Mount Zion was transferred to its present location across the valley to the south of the walled city. While the physical location of Zion may have changed over the years, the spiritual relevance has remained constant.

The Temple Mount is almost certainly the most contested religious site in the world. There can be little doubt that Jerusalem is different and, considering its size and location, it is truly amazing how significant it is in world affairs! It is the focal point of End-times prophecy and, as mentioned above, it is imperative that we keep a close watch on all information relating to events in Israel and Jerusalem. Finally, the literalist view is that the building of the Third Temple is a major prerequisite for progress (the next step?) along the prophetic time-line of the Bible story.

Humanity’s 2nd Pivotal Point: Update #7 – most Palestinians support terrorism

Policy and Survey Research Press Release: Public Opinion Poll (90) published yesterday states (emphasis mine):

‘Wide public support for Hamas’ offensive on October the 7th, but the vast majority denies that Hamas has committed atrocities against Israeli civilians. The war increases Hamas’ popularity and greatly weakens the standing of the PA and its leadership; nonetheless, the majority of the Palestinians remains unsupportive of Hamas. Support for armed struggle rises, particularly in the West Bank and in response to settlers’ violence, but support for the two-state solution rises somewhat. The overwhelming majority condemns the positions taken by the US and the main European powers during the war and express the belief that they have lost their moral compass.’

Here’s Amir Tsafati’s summary :

‘New polling of Palestinian public opinion showing massive support for Hamas and other Iran-backed terrorists.

– 72% of respondents support the October 7th massacre.

– In the West Bank, support for Hamas has seen a threefold increase, with 82% endorsing the October 7th massacre.

– The preference for “armed struggle” has escalated by ten points, now at over 60%.

– Only 10% believe Hamas committed war crimes, with 85% not having viewed any footage from October 7th.

– When considering governance in the Gaza Strip post-conflict, 60% favor Hamas, including 75% in the West Bank but only 38% in the Gaza Strip.

– Among Arab and regional actors, Yemen receives the highest satisfaction rating (80% overall, 89% in the West Bank, and 68% in the Gaza Strip). Qatar follows with 56%, then Hezbollah at 49%, Iran at 35%, Turkey at 34%, Jordan at 24%, Egypt at 23%, UAE at 8%, and Saudi Arabia at 5%.

– If a presidential election were held today with Mahmoud Abbas and Ismail Haniyeh as candidates, the turnout is projected at 53%. Of those participating, Haniyeh would likely receive 78% of the votes, a significant increase from 58% three months prior, while Abbas would get 16%, down from 37%.

The modern-day restoration of Israel in her weakness – Chris Moyler

Publishing my friends Neil Mackereth’s and Chris Moyler’s comments on Israel stimulated them to further thought, in what’s been an intensely busy period.

Chris says, “I wrote it all so fast, completely from the hip, in two quick sessions. I have it, completely unedited as a document (but) am currently putting in the foundations for our new extension. Pure crazy, but the LORD is most definitely in it. Chris”

He raises A QUESTION….

“Are Christians interested in the scriptural basis for the support of modern day Israel?

I don’t think so. Maybe just a few……. I presently find myself up against a wall of disinterest.

My aim in writing about Israel is NOT that we should pontificate about her, but that we should have a sound scriptural underpinning to our prayers. i.e. that our prayers should not be weak and general, but bold and purposeful-prayers of great clarity.

Your thoughts please???? Chris xx”

Military-related prophecy being fulfilled behind the scenes (PPU 97.1)

Most intriguing publication date for this word of 5th November, the anniversary of the Gunpowder Plot of a group of dissident Catholics led by Guy Fawkes, who attempted to blow up the Houses of Parliament in 1605. Consequently, a ‘guy’ is burned on bonfires across Britain each year.

Click image to read prophetic word brought by Julie Green (emphasis in extract mine):

“…Yes, My children, hold on and brace for the impact of everything that is about to take place. Brace for it. Brace for it. The military is on the move. Military movements are growing by the day. They are growing, I say. Watch the military because soon you will see them. Soon you will see them.

They cannot hide these things anymore. Soon you will see them because it is now time for advancement. It is time for advancement, advancement, advancement, for pushing back the enemies of Almighty God and taking away what was never theirs. 

This territory is Mine, and I have given this territory to you, My children. So, receive this day all that I say”, saith the Lord.

“DARPA is asking universities for access to their tunnels ASAP, and it’s because the US military thinks its next war will go underground.”

BizIns:
https://www.businessinsider.in/slideshows/miscellaneous/darpa-is-asking-universities-for-access-to-their-tunnels-asap-and-its-because-the-us-military-thinks-its-next-war-will-go-underground/slidelist/70925373.cms

The Washington Examiner was very specific on how much of that half-billion:

“Army leaders intend to spend $572 million to train and equip 26 of its 31 combat brigades to do battle in underground complexes.”

CIC Trump has always said, “We will make them pay for it.”

‘It’ = whatever the topic is.

I guess that’s why his Executive Orders on vaccinations in 2019 had the CDC in them and they were not in the EOs of the likeness in 2020.

I guess that’s also why he HAMMERED Pharmaceutical Companies and declared war on Opioids / Drugs and Trafficking.

I guess that’s why he talks about ‘Quick Trials’ all the time and executing Drug Traffickers.

I guess that’s why he declared a War on Trafficking (ALL FORMS; because how else are they paid?) on December 20, 2019, in the War Powers Act of 1973, 50 USC §1550, accompanying multiple Executive Orders, but more specifically EO 13912, that made him a Wartime President via 50 USC §1621 and 10 USC §12302, all backed by the Military Justice Act of 2016, and multiple other laws and orders, when he Federalized 1 million Reserves to Active-Duty.

Reserves do not serve dual missions. They’re Federal only. The ONLY person who’s Federalized Reserves to Active-Duty is 45. That’s NOT a transferable command due to the type of Orders given.

I guess that’s why Reserves are in the sky daily and have been since certain Orders.

So, what are the odds, 26 days later, AFTER the Washington Examiner said the Army spent $572 million training soldiers for tunnels, on Aug. 27, 2019, Johnson and Johnson were ordered to pay $572 million?

“In a landmark decision, an Oklahoma judge on Monday ordered pharmaceutical giant Johnson & Johnson to pay $572 million for its role in the state’s opioid crisis.”

Now let’s look at the 2019 Army Manual titled: “Shaping the Deep Fight: Operational Implications for the 21st Century Subterranean Conflict.”

When you click on manual, notice how Deep is in italics. Emphasis.

Look at Chapter 25 of the Manual:

“Hamas: Egypt-Gaza Cross Border Operations.”

I guess that’s why ALL mainstream headlines and articles in October and November 2023 talked about the war in Israel being taken to the Tunnels and Sewers.

I guess that’s why “Kamala” aka ‘Special K’ told the whole world that there were going to be NO (Zero) United States Soldiers in Israel.

CNN:
https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2023/10/29/politics/harris-us-combat-troops-israel-or-gaza/index.html

I guess that’s why I have all these Military Aircraft on a public app flying around Israel and Egypt before AND after the news broke on Israel.

I guess that’s why in paragraph two of the introduction in the 2019 Army Manual, it says: “In 2017, the US Army allocated $572 million into training and equipping active duty brigades to fight in large scale subterranean facilities.”

Army Manual (dot MIL):
https://apps.dtic.mil/sti/trecms/pdf/AD1083592.pdf

If you’ll also read on the front page of the Manual it specifically states:

“Approved for public release, distribution is unlimited”

It all adds up when you get propaganda, noise, and smoke blowers out of your life and insert a Veteran keeping Oath and showing you ALL what matters via current, bipartisan Laws and Orders paired with Military Laws and Orders.

The way we turn Americans around is by educating them on how “we the people” govern via Laws and Orders that support the Constitution.

Military L&O > Everything.” 🇺🇸

Did IDF Intel Chief’s arrogance or misogyny enable a catastrophic massacre in Israel?

Speculation was rife after the barbarous October Massacre as to why Israel’s much- vaunted intelligence gathering failed utterly to warn of incoming attack by terrorists as dawn broke on their high sabbath at the close of the Feast of Tabernacles holiday.

I soon came across claims in Zero Hedge that Israeli observers had reported frequent  rehearsals in Gaza for a large attack and looked forward to reading about Caroline Glick’s researches. Overnight last Thurs-Friday the New York Times published Israel Knew Hamas’ Attack Plan More than a Year Ago! (paywall) and Caroline did a video along with re-posting her five-page article of Thursday on Jewish News Syndicate:  Aharon Haliva has got to go. Now.

In arriving at her conclusion, Caroline cuts to the quick with an indictment of the nation’s deep political division being at the root of this gross failure – the equivalent of treason? Hence, the gross intellectual and intelligence incompetence!  She writes, emphases added:

“What Haliva failed to mention was his habit of ignoring everything the professionals told him and not sharing their information with his superiors.

All of this would be bad enough. But it becomes even worse when seen in the framework of the 10-month insurgency the Israeli-left waged against the Netanyahu government.

That insurgency was led by Haliva’s family. His ex-wife and the mother of his children, Shira Margalit, is married to Ilan Shiloah, a senior advertising executive. Margalit and Shiloah stood behind much of the political unrest that Israel has experienced since last year. Haliva’s daughter spoke at anti-government protests. His son’s twitter feed is filled with anti-Netanyahu invective

Haliva reportedly did not share the mountain of information his professional intelligence corps gathered on Hamas’s plans. But he reportedly repeatedly warned Netanyahu that his government’s legal reforms were emboldening Israel’s enemies and increasing the likelihood of war.

In theory, all of this could be set aside until the end of the war, except Haliva’s actions since Oct. 7 indicate that he is still informed by his false narrative about Hamas. On the eve of the ground invasion, Netanyahu addressed the public. He explained that the war is Israel’s “second war of independence,” and that it presents Israel with an “existential challenge.” In other words, Israel has no choice but to win. Netanyahu defined victory as rescuing the hostages, destroying Hamas as a military and political entity and preventing it or any other terror group from rising in Gaza ever again.

Three days later, in his first public remarks since Oct. 7, Haliva rejected Netanyahu’s description of the war as an existential conflict. Speaking to graduates of the Intelligence Corps officer training course, Haliva insisted, “It’s a war we have no choice but to fight. It isn’t an existential war.”

The difference between an existential conflict and a non-existential conflict is self-evident. You must win a war for your state’s existence. You can fight to a draw for a lesser conflict.

An intelligence chief who publicly rejects the government’s characterization of a war, whose poor professional judgment led to catastrophe and who has a history of contemptuous insubordination simply cannot be trusted to act in accordance with the government’s directives.

Oct. 7 was not prevented because many people in positions of responsibility failed the people of Israel. In most cases, it is probably reasonable to wait until after the war to part ways with them.

Haliva however, needs to go. Now.’

Challenges by/to Christians over terrorism cont’d – Amir Tsarfati in Israel

Neil Mackereth, myself and many, many others are not alone in being challenged, BUT we return a deeper challenge to an oxy-moronic and ignorant approach in responding to downright demoniacal barbarity.

Here’s how Amir Tsarfati puts it this morning (closing emphasis mine): 

“Lately I am being scolded by Christians for not loving the people of Gaza enough. They say I am not being a good example of a follower of Christ.

Just a reminder, Christ Himself will deny entry into His kingdom and send to destruction the goats who will not help His brethren, the Jews, during the tribulation.

In Joel chapter 3, God will judge ALL nations that will come against Israel during that time.

Anyone who wants to kill me and my people just because we are Jews cannot receive my sympathy. He can only get my hope and prayer that he will either repent and get saved – or get killed before he kills me!

And if you have already killed, raped, or burned alive my people, my prayer is that either you will repent and then be punished by the authorities for your crimes or you’ll just be executed if repentance isn’t your thing. No matter what – actions such as those cannot go unpunished!

I can’t remember any time in the Bible when Jews were massacred by other people groups, and God just overlooked it without punishing the perpetrators!

Modern Israel and Paul’s letter to the Romans – Neil Mackereth

The previous post with Neil’s covering email refers:

THE SIGNIFICANCE OF ISRAEL – SOME COMMENTS ON ROMANS

After 2000 years of study, it may seem unlikely that there will be any truly new insights in our examination of Biblical prophecy. It is possible, however, that some truths will only be revealed at the appropriate time “But you, Daniel, close up and seal the words of the scroll until the time of the end” (Dan 12:4).

There was much that the disciples did not understand until Jesus was crucified, rose again and ascended into Heaven. In similar vein, much of Isaiah is clear to us now, after the cross, but must have been mysterious for the 800 years before Jesus was born

The OT is full of promises and prophecies that show that God has a special relationship with Israel and that they would be “the power in the land”. However, certainly in worldly terms, Gentiles appeared to take over the position of favour on the earth. Prophecy indicates that, in due course, God’s relationship with His chosen people will be restored. “Blindness in part is happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles be come in. And so all Israel shall be saved, as it is written” (Rom 11:25, 26 (KJV)).

“The fullness of the Gentiles” should not be confused with “the times of the Gentiles” (Luke 21:24): one refers to spiritual blessing, the other to earthly power. It may be that Jerusalem will not be free of Gentile involvement in its affairs until Jesus returns to take David’s throne. The very expression “until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in” shows something will change, and implies a difference between Gentile believers and Israel. Is there a counter in Heaven – the numbers mounting while Satan watches, without knowing the target figure?

In Romans 11, Paul (the “Apostle to the Gentiles”) reasons that branches of the Abrahamic “tree” have been broken off and Gentile branches (believers) grafted in. The tree, whose roots Gentile Christians share, is essentially Abrahamic. Note that Paul never considered himself as having ceased to be a Jew, nor as having moved into a new religion, nor did he ever disparage his Jewish pedigree. Jesus as Messiah was for Paul the full expression of Judaism. Later (Rom 11:13-14) Paul added that, despite his calling as the apostle to the Gentiles, the ultimate motivation of his ministry was the salvation of his fellow Jews (Rom 10:1)

The Biblical predictions (prophecies) of a restored Israel are amazing, and the re-establishment of the Jewish nation in Israel, fulfilled in 1948, is even more so. The survival of national identity in dispersion, which the Jews maintained for nearly nineteen hundred years, prior to the rebirth of Israel, was a phenomenon in itself

Continuing in Romans 11 we see that this hardening will stay “until the full number of the Gentiles has come in;” and Paul adds, “And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written: The Deliverer will come from Zion; He will turn godlessness away from Jacob, and this is My covenant with them.” (Rom 11:25-27). Does this mean that Israel will be brought within the blessings of the Gospel of Grace (the New Covenant), or that the Jews will be blessed on a different principle (the Abrahamic Covenant), or a bit of both? I really don’t know. Certainly, there is a remnant saved by grace: “at the present time there is a remnant chosen by grace” (Rom 11:5, see also Rev 12:17)

As mentioned above, the OT clearly shows that the Jews enjoyed a special relationship (blessing). Jesus confirmed the patriarchal promise: “Christ has become a servant of the Jews on behalf of God’s truth, to confirm the promises made to the patriarchs so that the Gentiles might glorify God for His mercy.” (Rom 15:8, 9). We can understand that the Cross broke down the barrier and levelled all distinctions. As to righteousness “there is no difference, for all have sinned;” (Rom 3:22, 23), as to mercy “there is no difference between Jew and Gentile – the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on Him.” (Rom 10:12). However, the promises to Israel are very specific. If there is “no difference”, can God give blessing on a principle, which seems to imply that there is a difference? In other words, the expectation of certain promises to Israel would appear to be inconsistent with the concept of “no difference”!

Romans 11 indicates that Gentile believers and Israel now enjoy the same privileges. Nevertheless, it is part of the same revelation that although grace comes to the Gentile just where he is, it does not confirm him as a Gentile, but gives him a new nationality as a citizen of the Kingdom of God; for in the Church “there is neither Jew nor Gentile.” (Gal 3:28. Contrast with John 4:22, “Salvation is from the Jews”). The promises to Israel, on the other hand, imply that blessing will reach the Jew as a Jew, i.e., recognizing his national position and endorsing his special relationship under the patriarchal covenant. Jesus will return to Jerusalem and take His throne as King of the Jews

The New Testament opens with the record of the genealogy, birth and ministry of Jesus as “the Son of David, the son of Abraham;” (Matt 1:1). Jesus was “a servant of the Jews on behalf of God’s truth” (Romans 15:8). The angel told Mary that the son she was to bear would be King on “the throne of his father David and he will reign over the house of Jacob for ever” (Luke 1:32,33). The question the Magi asked: “Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews?” (Matt 2.2) appeared to be a confirmation of Jewish expectation

In both Daniel and Matthew, Jerusalem is the focus for End-Time events and that confirms the necessity and huge significance of the re-establishment of Israel and the re-unification of Jerusalem. The history of the Jews is a record of miraculous events: their escape from Egypt, their ordeals and God’s provision on the journey to the Promised Land were miraculous. Their successes and failures, conquests and captivities, their whole history is interwoven with miracles. The seventy years from Jesus’ birth to the dispersion of the Jews were full of remarkable events and prophetic fulfillment. From that time until 1948, however, there seems to have been a lull, as far as Biblical prophecy is concerned. We can now see the miracle of Jewish survival in dispersion. This is a new era: the very existence of modern Israel is the miraculous and essential ingredient for the next stage of prophetic fulfillment

In summary: “God has not cast away His people Israel” (Rom 11:1,2 KJV). In the Acts of the Apostles, Jerusalem was the centre for God’s people on earth, Gentiles were then admitted, “grafted in”. Initially, the Church was essentially Jewish. The Apostles taught in the temple (Acts 2:46; 3:1, 5:42). Their testimony was in line with the old prophecies (Acts. 3:19-26.), and even when the Christians were scattered by persecution, the Apostles remained in Jerusalem.

Those Christians who left Jerusalem evangelised only among the Jews (Acts. 8:1, 4, and 11:19). Peter had to be persuaded to go among the Gentiles (Acts. 10), and that was not popular within the Church (Acts. 11:2-18). Over the centuries the number of Gentile believers grew and the Jewish membership fell away. In Israel today there is a remnant “who obey God’s commandments, and hold to the testimony of Jesus” (Rev 12:17); Jews, and yet Christians; Jews who believe in Jesus, the One whom secular and non-messianic Jews will continue to reject, until He appears.

It is my personal view that there are two courses to the fulfilment of End-Times prophecy:
  1. The church (which includes messianic Jews) will be raptured, and…
  2. The remnant of Israel will then come to recognize who Jesus is, a conviction of sin, repentance and be saved.

Challenged by ‘liberal’ Christians on terrorist barbarity – Neil Mackereth’s and Sir Mick Davis’ responses

I’m struck in catching up with my dear friend’s email along with an op-ed in my daily newspaper, as follows:

‘Hi Richard,

I am being challenged by some “liberal” Christians who appear to be suggesting that parts of the Bible are morally unacceptable. I thought you might be interested in my response.

I can fully understand why many Christians are finding it difficult to know how to react, as we watch the horrors on the news each day. The behaviour of secular Israel is obviously very challenging, and that is not new!

“I dispersed them among the nations, and they were scattered through the countries; I judged them according to their conduct and their actions. And wherever they went among the nations they profaned my holy name, for it was said of them, ‘These are the Lord’s people, and yet they had to leave his land.’ I had concern for my holy name, which the house of Israel profaned among the nations where they had gone. “Therefore say to the house of Israel, ‘This is what the Sovereign LORD says: It is not for your sake, O house of Israel, that I am going to do these things, but for the sake of my holy name, which you have profaned among the nations where you have gone. I will show the holiness of my great name, which has been profaned among the nations, the name you have profaned among them. Then the nations will know that I am the LORD, declares the Sovereign LORD, when I show myself holy through you before their eyes. ‘For I will take you out of the nations; I will gather you from all the countries and bring you back into your own land”. Ezekiel 36:19-24 

This scripture is very significant, particularly for those who wonder why God would re-establish and watch over the mainly secular state of Israel. It is because He said He would. It is for His name’s sake (for the honour of His name). The Abrahamic Covenant is an everlasting covenant, which God will fulfil, not for the sake of His unruly people Israel but to show the world He is God, His name is holy, and He always honours all He has promised.

Notwithstanding what we see happening, if we believe Scripture, and truly want to align with God’s word, we must “Bless and do not curse Israel” (Numbers 23: 19-20; 24: 9). “Comfort My people” (Isaiah 40:1-2); Christ will judge nations on the basis of their treatment of Israel (Joel 3: 1-2).

We also know that all Israel will be saved; that is, the remnant whom God has chosen (Romans 9.27) – I attach some further comments on Romans. [RB next post]

Some further notes:

Re-gathering to the land of Israel does not mean there will be peace (Jeremiah 30:3-7); Israel is unique (1 Chronicles 17:21); A special treasure to God, a kingdom of priests, a holy nation (Exodus 19:5-6); Entrusted with the oracles of God (Romans 3:1-2).

That is probably enough! The fact is, it is an oxymoron to suggest that Bible-believing followers of Jesus can pick and choose which bits of Scripture they will accept and which they will reject.

Blessings to you and to Nina, may the Lord strengthen and encourage you both at this critical time.

Neil, 15th November

Sir Mick Davis is a former chief executive of the Conservative Party and former Chairman of the Jewish Leadership Council. He writes in The Telegraph yesterday: 

‘…Losing friendships is distressing, but nothing compared to watching raw footage of the October 7 massacres at a London screening I facilitated. The crimes, many filmed by Hamas terrorists, show humanity at its lowest. Purveyors of sickening terror joyfully invoke God’s name while bringing death and defilement to His creatures.

Any opinion that ignores or downplays Hamas’s evil is disconnected from reality and has nothing to offer the search for peace. Yet some deny or cast doubt on these barbaric acts. They justify or “explain” them. Others, like my friend, condemn the atrocity of October 7 when pushed before then condemning Israel’s response. They emphasise “context”, with the apparent implication that Israel had it coming. As if killing parents in front of children, using a severed head as a football, rape, and parading and defiling corpses is an inevitable, reflex reaction to Israeli actions! [Emphasis RB]

Context is indeed important. Here is some: Israel hasn’t occupied Gaza since 2005. Hamas brutally controls Gaza and has attacked Israeli civilians time and again. Israeli measures to contain this terror are painful for Gazan people and open to strong debate. But the terror precedes the response, not the other way round… (continue reading)

He closes, ‘But I am struck by an unpleasant realisation: my friend can choose not to talk to me when our world views and moral compass diverge. But Israel does not have that luxury.’

Anti-Israel BBC blocks legal director; several severe indictments

After 44 postings (click tag to scroll them) on the BBC  during which I gave it a more suitable title ‘Brainwashing Britons Cult’ when watching exposures of political rot in UK and USA, at long last there’s now a press focus upon the corporation’s blatant anti-Semitism. (It’s anti-Christian too!)

My monitoring this and its consequential inaccurate, biased reporting began two months less than thirteen years ago in my email Rapid rollover on today’s news, with a follow-up in August 2012 The biased BBC doesn’t know about Jerusalem.

Later I discovered helpful, informative websites Honest Reporting (see The picture that began it all in Sept 2000) and BBC Watch, which issued frequent in-depth scrutiny of its abysmal, journalism – as in this from exactly 11 years ago on 29th November 2012:

Is BBC’s coverage of Gaza ‘yellow journalism’?

BBC Watch has since merged with Committee for Accuracy in Middle-East Reporting and Analysis (CAMERA), founded in 1982. Another valuable analytical site located in Israel is the Middle-East Research Institute (MEMRI) with its trove of translations from all publications in that region. Particularly noteworthy is CAMERA’s monitoring of not only media inaccuracies but also UK branch’s statistics of Palestinian casualties this year.

In those years I regularly read ‘ne plus ultra’ Caroline Glick who served ‘1994-96, as an IDF captain in the Defense Ministry as a core member of Israel’s negotiating team with the Palestinians’and ‘1997-98 as Assistant Foreign Policy Advisor to Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu’.

Also very well-informed is Sultan Knish, Daniel Greenfield’s pen-name and who is Shillman Journalism Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center. You may like to read his brief historical synopsis Thirty years ago Israel deported hamas.

OCT-NOV 2023

Here’s screenshots of very recent items in The Telegraph online – and don’t miss the last item about Westminster’s ‘anti-Israel blob’ that’s a likely major contributing influence upon BBC’s anti-Semitism:

First, the blocking of a highly qualified, invited consultant from giving a valuable contribution to a BBC presenter:

“I had been watching the coverage that evening already in disbelief. I explained that now, more than ever, the channel needed me on to provide balance. There was a desperate need to keep to the BBC’s commitments of due accuracy and impartiality. I had already seen many online reports that the incident had occurred in the context of a barrage of rockets from Gaza towards Israeli civilian communities. The BBC’s line simply didn’t add up.

[Extract, emphases mine]
‘All of that is now over: Foreign Office orthodoxy is back with a vengeance. Lord Cameron’s first interview – with the BBC, appropriately – was hugely disappointing. He claimed the number of casualties in Gaza was “too high”, implicitly blaming Israel rather than Hamas, and accepting the terrorists’ propaganda at face value, by failing to realise that many fatalities are Hamas fighters and somehow forgetting that they use civilians as human shields.

The war would end were Hamas to unconditionally surrender and release all the hostages – why didn’t Cameron ask for that, rather than stating, insultingly, that he “stressed over and over again that [Israel] must abide by international humanitarian law”? Can’t he see that Israel is doing more than any other country to follow the rules of war, and that it is succeeding to an almost superhuman degree? Is the FCDO trying to harmonise British policy with that of Emmanuel Macron and other anti-Israel European powers?’

Foreign Office culpability is enormous and Allister Heath’s article ties in well with this by America’s Barbara Boyd in Some Real Facts About The Current Mideast War.

PS to Update #6 – ‘Aliyah to Israel hits 30-year peak’

According to David Parsons, VP & Senior Spokesman of the ICEJ, in July-August 2023 edition of Word From Jerusalem:

‘Recently, Israeli authorities released the latest Aliyah figures showing that over 100,000 new immigrants have arrived in Israel since the start of 2022, marking the highest number since the mass Soviet Jewish influx three decades ago. Over these past 17 months, some 60,000 Jewish immigrants have come from Russia, 20,000 from Ukraine and the remaining 20,000 from other countries worldwide.’ (Aliyah to Israel Hits 30-year Peak)

Undoubtedly, this rise will continue as a result of the intensely anti-Semitic marches worldwide, and mirrored by uninformed, gullible younger generations.

GOG-MAGOG COMPONENT

NOW note involvement of Iran’s direct involvement in negotiations for releasing hamas captives – in total alignment with Islamic doctrine of dimmi status of non-believers, clear preferential treatment is given to muslim abductees. Everyone else as normal human beings are too inferior!

Apart from the documented fact muslims started this war, their utter lack of compassion is abundantly evident. It unequivocally disproves all claims whatsoever to their god being identical to the Almighty God of Jews and of Christians!!

Extract from Cordelia’s report (emphasis added)

‘…Behind the scenes, Thailand officials have been quietly working away at trying to get their citizens freed, attending meetings in Qatar and Iran

At the centre of the Thai negotiating team is Lerpong Sayed, a Thai Muslim who, in an exclusive broadcast interview, told Sky News Hamas was justified in taking hostages.

Dr Sayed in recent weeks has split his time between his home country and Iran, where he spoke to Hamas five times.

“We went there to negotiate as normal people, not politicians. Hamas saw this. They saw us as Thai Muslims,” he told me in an interview that provides a window into his high-level talks.

“They promised that if there was a ceasefire Thai people would be released in the first group.

“Now we can obviously see Thais are among the first citizens freed compared to 20 other nationalities.”…’

PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY DECREE

Yesterday, on Telegram’s Behold Israel Amir Tsarfati quotes:

‘PA senior official Jabril Rajub: “The events of October 7 were a natural reaction to oppression. The occupation and its crimes are responsible for the incident. The action was part of the Palestinian war of defense and the next outbreak will take place in the West Bank.”

And to end with a message of unity:
“Hamas is an integral part of the political fabric. The current campaign is the beginning of unity with the aim of establishing a Palestinian state on all Palestinian territories”
Rajub, a senior minister was a star in the “Partners Campaign” of the Geneva Initiative!”

What Rajub is hinting is that the military force of the Palestinian authority (that America so diligently helped build and fund) might do to Israelis near the West Bank what Hamas did to Israelis near Gaza.

The U.S. administration must wake up! The Palestinian authority is more of the same! It’s Hamas, ISIS Nazis!’

This comes as absolutely no surprise to Christians familiar with Bible prophecy, or to those comparatively few wide-awake folk who treat political rhetoric with contempt.
