Memorial in Egypt uncannily resembles alarming prophetic banner

Before attending church yesterday I re-read the closing paragraph of Revelation 12: 17 Then the dragon was enraged at the woman and went off to wage war against the rest of her offspring—those who keep God’s commands and hold fast their testimony about Jesus – and continued reading right through chapter 13 for the full background to the Mark of the Beast (Rev 13:16-18).

Therein, Apostle John continues to recount the awesome visions he was beholding and experiencing, viz:  ‘The dragon stood on the shore of the sea….’ and then describes in detail two beast that arise, one out of the sea and one from the earth. SO later I was most intrigued to read Veronika West’s Facebook account of a vision of a banner featuring a dragon.  Here’s the version in His Kingdom Prophecy:

I heard, ”Watch! For a strange Peace rises — then the Sword of War shall Fall!”

I will share soon of a powerful dream I had last night, a Dream that has left me in travail of what shall yet come to pass…

Watchmen Stay Alert! Swords Drawn! Shields Raised!

Our Battle Cry: “The Victory belongs to The LORD — the Conquering Remnant is Rising to Occupy!”

With the help of my son Caleb this morning, he has generated for me a picture as per my explanation of what I saw rising over The Nations in my dream.

Prophetic Eagles — tell me what you see in this Banner?

The Dream is multi-layered. but this Banner speaks to many things!

  • The Black Doves: speak to a Counterfeit Peace Rising. A Peace shall come for a Season — but it will not hold — and then the Sword shall Fall.
  • The Head of the Dragon: I believe speaks to Revelation 12 but also to Nation of China. The Banner itself gave me the Prophetic sense of the Nation of Russia and the Arab Nations coming together — a Convergence of Nations Rising.
  • The Swords: Speak of War— but the Clashing of Nations and Kingdoms.
  • The Red: Speaks of Bloodshed — but….
  • The Banner: Speaks to a veil coming upon the eyes of many who will be deceived by the Counterfeit that shall arise.

So much more on this Banner….

Let’s see what/where the Prophetic Seers see GO……

Note : All the comments on here [Facebook] are Amazing and Speak powerfully to this dream.

It was incredibly profound and a deep travail came upon me in the Dream.

A deep travail against the Assignment of Satan that comes to Accelerate and Alter the Season and Times of God in the Earth.

A Travail where I was Interceding for the Remnant that it would begin to Rise and Come up higher, above the fog of War.

The Black Eagle in the dream also spoke powerfully to the Counterfeit Eagle the Counterfeit Prophetic that would seek to Lead many astray.

It was very strange but in the Dream but the legs and talons of the Eagle would suddenly change and the muscular hind legs of a lion would appear with its claws open as if like the Eagle it was coming down upon its prey.

The LORD spoke about a Counterfeit Apostolic and Prophetic movement that would seek to Rise. This Dream is speaking to The Nations — and to The Church.

Furthermore it speaks to a call to be as wise as the serpent and as gentle as the dove.

A Clarion Call to Walk Circumspect and with great Discernment — to Wear the Mantle of Wisdom and Truth.

The Swords Speak to the Sword of the Peacemaker vs the Sword of the Peacekeepers. The Truth vs the Counterfeit

Interesting to Note: The Face of the Eagle is the Face of the Dragon — the Serpent Spirit of Leviathan is rising up against the True Prophetic Eagles. There is an Assignment of Leviathan against the True Apostolic and Prophetic Rising.

More Prophetic Interpretations

I submit, the Dragon-Faced Eagle : speaks to Empire, Dominion, and the Rising Beast System.

At the center of the “Blood-soaked Banner” is the Eagle with the face of a Dragon/ Leviathan.

Again, I submit, the Black Eagle speaks of Empire, Global influence, and Counterfeit Authority. A Global Superpower or Coalition rising to dominate the World stage in the coming days.

I submit prophetically, the dragon’s face in the Dream unmasks its true source. Its power is not merely political, but its powerfully spiritual, as it speaks to the “Rise of Ancient Entities” and the serpentine spirit of the Dragon rising, as Nations are in Divine Transition.

We know It is the spirit of the dragon from Revelation 12 that circles at a time of Birthing.

Satan’s “Governmental Agenda” rising, as the True Ecclesia is Birthed, and when Goat and Sheep Nations are being separated.

This Dragon Spirit circling seeking to devour, to control, and to rule the Nations through fear, deception and bloodshed.

This entity will disguise itself as strength, order, and Global leadership, but I believe its talons are meant to enslave The Nations.

Its policies and actions will promise stability, but strip of freedom and bring powerful bondage. Its Vision (Eyes of the Dragon/ Eagle) will appear progressive but is deeply oppressive and enslaving of the undiscerning.

It seeks to devour Nations, and subdue the Saints of God.

I hear these Words, ”Watch and Pray remnant, for what looks like the Eagle of Truth and the Dove of Peace, is the Dragon of Deception and the Spirit of Leviathan in disguise, seeking to devour the undiscerning.

Listen! For what The Nations will hail as “Saviour,” will be a system that enslaves and leads to eternal death!

Watch! Be Discerning of the faces behind the wings!”

The Crossed Swords : The Clash of Kingdoms and Nations on the Threshing Floor — the Battle of two Altars rising.

The Two Crossed Swords are multidimensional in Revelation. Ultimately it’s a powerful prophetic sign that War — and increasing conflict — is inevitable and is on the horizon!

These Swords are not just weapons of Earthly War — but they symbolize prophetically the collision and clash of Kingdoms and the Colliding of the ‘Kairos and the Chronos’.

There is a battle raging over of Times and Seasons of God, over The Nations! The clash between the kingdom of darkness rising and the Kingdom of God advancing!

Also, it speaks to End-time Ideologies that will collide. The Spirit of Truth will confront the spirit of deception.

The Remnant Church will stand against the Global order of the Beast System!

The Blood-stained Flag, speaks of the cost of War.

Blood will be shed in the natural — but the counter is The Blood of Jesus and the Power of our Testimony that will overcome in the Time of War, and upheavals that will come — both in the natural and the spiritual.

Yet, The LORD would have His People know…

“Fear not! The Sword of The LORD is in the hand of a mighty Peace-making Remnant.

For though The Nations will rise against Nations, and kingdoms against kingdoms, My Kingdom will not be moved or shaken, for I will raise My Banner of Truth and Righteousness over The Nations in the Valley of Decision — and even in the bloodshed, My Kingdom Purposes will prevail and overcome!”

A Powerful Prophetic Call to The Church

This Dream is not meant to invoke fear — but I believe its timing is strategic and is meant to awaken The Remnant to be Watching.

As a time of false peace draws near, be Alert and Vigilant!

Do not be deceived by calmness or political promises of the hour!

  • To be Praying without ceasing. The Spirit of Intercession must Arise, to bring razor-sharp discernment and strength to Stand and Prevail…
  • To Pray fervently for Global Leaders, that they will not bow to the Dragon’s System….
  • To Prepare — to Anchor our Faith deeply in Christ — to strengthen and fortify the foundations…
  • To begin to Prophesy — Decree a thing and it shall be Established!
  • Declare Truth even when it’s unpopular, and even though hatred and violence rises against the Truth Tellers, our Declarations will expose the spirit of deception — even when it’s costly!

I hear The Spirit Say

“The counterfeit will always seek to rise before the True and Authentic is revealed!

But know this — I AM Truth!

My Banner of Righteousness will Raise a Standard over The Nations — a blood-stained Banner not of War — but of Salvation, Redemption and Kingdom Reformation!

And when the Dragon opens its mouth with fire and smoke, the Roar of the Loin of Judah will be released, and at the Sound of the Roar, the Eagles will Soar — and from Zion, My Voice will thunder and every high-place and demonic Altar of Baal and Jezebelic Throne, shall be dismantled and destroyed and every empire spirit shall be silenced and defeated!

Yes! The black doves of false peace will rise, the dragon spirit of Leviathan will roar, and the Swords of War will clash and fall — but the True Lion of Judah will Roar and the Power of The Blood of the Lamb will prevail!

For what shall surely come is not the end of Hope — but the Beginning of even greater shakings that precedes the Birthing of a New Glory Movement and the Dawning of a New Golden Era in The Nations.

Watch — for a great Awakening of a Radical Remnant is happening! A Remnant who will Discern, Endure, Rule and Reign with Him as King of kings!”

Blessings to you all.

I comment upon the Facebook original: “(Earlier) I was prompted to reread Rev 13 re digital ID, the two beasts and mark of the beast. And (as I’ve said previously) we have ‘pigs may fly’ as I call it, Peace in Gaza, a splendid plan arranged by Pres Trump and Arab nations.
But imho this banner may indicate how the hater of humanity sees it and intends disturbing the signed peace deal.
Rev13 dragon’s false prophet may well be the founder of 15lam and the 4 birds geographically represent Turkey, Qatar, Iran, Egypt.
Crossed swords definitely a regular Islamic symbol. When flying into Heathrow before 2005 terror attacks Chuck Pierce saw a huge sword in the sky over London!”

The Guardian has reported Turkey’s president as refusing to attend the extensive Peace Conference in Egypt if PM Netanyahu were to attend, as at President Trump’s invitation.

Now, an hour ago Veronika writes at Ignite Ireland Ministry:

Turkey’s president officially calls for Gog-Magog Alliance against Israel

We now publish this blog’s 100th posting on the Gog-Magog Alliance with this from All Israel News of Turkey’s President Erdogan’s call for the official creation of an alliance to overthrow God’s sovereign nation of Israel.

It echoes what Old Testament prophet Ezekiel recorded from the Lord in two chapters (38 & 39) about a confederation of hostile nations that attack His people, but victorious superiority of Israel all for the Glory of God to be seen before all nations. NB, it refers to the Jews as living in peace and safety without any protection, which has yet to be achieved since its creation in 1948!

Gog-Magog Update: The Bear, the Dragon and the Beast from the East – Veronika West

Does Ezekiel’s 2,500 years-old oracle of the Gog coalition apply today?

In weighing biblical and contemporary prophecies with current events and variety of  insights into the known and implicit causes of the Russian invasion of The Ukraine, I offer the following in regard to observations/interpretations of current events:

Prophecies relating to president Putin’s present and future actions akin to a modern version of ‘The Treacherous Trio of Ezekiel 38′ DO NOT PRECLUDE the Lord using ‘Vlad the Bad’ for His own purposes in dealing with satanic strategies and operations behind the globalist agenda of the New World Order, aka Deep-State, as promulgated in the World Economic Forum’s ‘Great Reset’ agendas, about which I’ll blog next.

Ezekiel 38 Gog-Magog and Veronika West prophecies on Russia – a recap

Posted on by
Reply

In view of events in The Ukraine, a clarification of my linking the prophecies Veronika West brought on ‘The Bear’ to the Gog-Magog alliance (Russia, Turkey and Iran) of Ezekiel chapter 38 may be of help.

News subsequent to the word she received on the Bear nation arising with a hunger for war, reminded me of Old Testament prophet Daniel’s vision of four beasts.

A month later the first part of what Veronika heard about The Bear, the Beast from the East and the Dragon focused clearly upon The Ukraine (emphases mine):

“Watch and Pray, for did I not say that The Bear Nation has emerged from a time of political hibernation with a hunger for War and an appetite for greater territorial occupation and domination among The Nations?

Yes!  And did I not say that the Dragon Spirit would strike, and The Bear Nation would invade to take a rich and fertile land?

I say Beloved, Watch and Pray, and pay close attention, for in the days ahead the right hand of The Bear Nation shall shake hands with the right hand of the nation of Turkey and a powerful alliance will be created, and then the two shall come into agreement to form a threefold cord of allegiance with the Beast of The East with a desire to destroy the land flowing with milk and honey.

But I say, Nay!  Nay, for when their diabolical plan begins to unfold, a great unraveling will take place, and the demonic threefold cord shall surely be broken, and the strength and military power of The Bear Nation shall be brought to nought.…”

Although it refers initially to the Bear’s neighbouring nation, I noted the reference to a 3-fold alliance involving another and different neighbour as well as what is indubitably the bellicose Muslim regime of Iran – exactly foretold in Ezekiel’s hearing the Lord about the God-Magog alliance and its intention of invading Israel. Also, the oft-used scriptural description of the Promised Land is of a ‘land flowing with milk and honey’.

AND I recalled how it states the Almighty will put a hook in Gog and his alliance!‘ ‘Thus says the Lord God: “Behold, I am against you, O Gog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal. 4 I will turn you around, put hooks into your jaws, and lead you out, with all your army, horses, and horsemen, all splendidly clothed, a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords…’

That post linked into a previous Update bearing news of Iran’s president visiting Putin, who is backing their stance in atomic weapons negotiations in Vienna.

THUS, in the midst of the deeply distressing Russian invasion of The Ukraine – and many important aspects ignored by mainstream media – we mustn’t lose sight of how the words brought by Veronika, and those events, are in accord with Bible prophecy!

THE BEAR, THE BEAST FROM THE EAST AND THE DRAGON

In prayer this afternoon while seeking The LORD concerning The Nations, I heard The Spirit say,  “Watch and Pray, for did I not say that The Bear Nation has emerged from a time of political hibernation with a hunger for War and an appetite for greater territorial occupation and domination among The Nations?

Yes!  And did I not say that the Dragon Spirit would strike, and The Bear Nation would invade to take a rich and fertile land?

I say Beloved, Watch and Pray, and pay close attention, for in the days ahead the right hand of The Bear Nation shall shake hands with the right hand of the nation of Turkey and a powerful alliance will be created, and then the two shall come into agreement to form a threefold cord of allegiance with the Beast of The East with a desire to destroy the land flowing with milk and honey.

But I say, Nay!  Nay, for when their diabolical plan begins to unfold, a great unraveling will take place, and the demonic threefold cord shall surely be broken, and the strength and military power of The Bear Nation shall be brought to nought.

But!  Watch and Pray for surely I tell you, the eye of Leviathan is now upon the fruitful Vineyard, and the tail of The Dragon Spirit is thrashing in the realm of The Spirit, to stir up turmoil and trouble for The Nation of Taiwan.

But I say, keep Watch and Pray, and stay alert, for False Flags and the pointing of fingers will take place to bring a desired distraction from that which is now being fully exposed and uncovered in the realm of darkness.

For I tell you, this is the beginning of birthing pangs as greater and greater shakings and divine disruptions take place as Nation rises against Nation.

For in The Valley of Decision, goat and sheep nations are now being sifted and shifted, scattered and gathered up.

Look and see, for a Demonic Convergence is now taking place over Nations in the midst of birthing, as the spirit of the Antichrist rises to resist the advancement of My Righteous Remnant Army, as they build and establish My Kingdom Government in The Nations of the earth.

And watch!  As the spirits of deception and death masquerade as messengers of light, but come seeking to divide and conquer, dominate and occupy more and more territory, by striking fear and torment in the hearts.

Many who have become woke, weak and willing vessels, have fully submitted and surrendered themselves to an Antichrist Agenda and to a One World Order.

I say again — Watch and Pray.  For The Bear Nation shall bite down hard, and the tail of The Dragon Nation shall suddenly strike without warning in the coming days!”

Blessings to you all.

The silence is deafening. The world continues on the way it wants to go.

ALSO, note Gog-Magog alliance is now getting formal, as flagged by World Watch Daily from Jerusalem Post’s State Media in Iran, Russia Indicate Growing Russia-Iran-Turkey Alliance:

‘Iran’s Press TV tweeted in English on Wednesday with a quote from Turkey’s leader Recep Tayyip Erdogan: “Nuclear power should be forbidden for all or permissible for all.” Press TV included an image of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appearing to be sweating.

‘Iran’s message wasn’t a secret: the account tagged Erdogan and included the hashtag “#IsraelisExempt”. What is more secretive is the Iran-Turkey-Russia alliance that is emerging and illustrated via state-controlled media.

‘RT, a Russian television network, similarly highlights the greatness of Turkey and Iran as part of a campaign that clearly indicates Moscow’s support for the two. On Wednesday, it tweeted about Iran showcasing its drone expertise amid tensions in the Gulf. It also shared images from Erdogan’s speech in which he slammed Israel. Russian news agency Sputnik similarly highlighted comments by Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani on Wednesday morning. “Turkey will probably never buy American aircraft again,” Sputnik noted as well.’

Ezekiel 38
Gog and Allies Attack Israel

Now the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 2 “Son of man, set your face against Gog, of the land of Magog, [a]the prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal, and prophesy against him, 3 and say, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “Behold, I am against you, O Gog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal. 4 I will turn you around, put hooks into your jaws, and lead you out, with all your army, horses, and horsemen, all splendidly clothed, a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords. 5 Persia, [b]Ethiopia, and [c]Libya are with them, all of them with shield and helmet; 6 Gomer and all its troops; the house of Togarmah from the far north and all its troops—many people are with you…”

Ezekiel 39
Gog’s Armies Destroyed

“And you, son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “Behold, I am against you, O Gog, [a]the prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal; 2 and I will turn you around and lead you on, bringing you up from the far north, and bring you against the mountains of Israel…”  (NKJV – BibleGateway)

In last Friday’s in-depth news-roundup Koenig’s Eye-View From The White House, the presidential seat’s ‘resident’ Christian journalist William Koenig reports:

‘The Congressional testimony entitled “Moscow in the Middle East and North Africa” presented by Anna Borshchevskaya is extremely comprehensive. It documents Russia’s active, aggressive and shrewd alignment with the nations of Ezekiel, chapters 38-39. It also shows how Russia is out-positioning the United States in many countries. The testimony even mentioned that Benjamin Netanyahu has met with Russian President Vladimir Putin more often than he did with the Obama administration or has with the Trump White House. I highly recommend you take the time to read the entire testimony.‘ (emphasis mine)

Here’s some of its pertinent parts that Bill quotes:

  • With a combination of aggression and diplomacy, Russian president Vladimir Putin has ensured Russia’s long-term prominence in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). Washington must now take Moscow into account in the region to a degree it hasn’t had to for years.
  • Moscow’s September 2015 military intervention in Syria was a game changer, but it’s important to remember that, prior to the intervention, Putin had worked methodically and consistently for at least fifteen years to return Russia to the Middle East—a region that has historically mattered to Russian rulers. While he had achieved considerable influence by as early as 2010, the Syria intervention officially restored Russia’s place as a critical regional player and helped position Putin as a regional power-broker.
  • Putin has developed pragmatic ties with every government and major opposition movement in the region—an approach that has proven more successful than the Soviet Union’s ideological blinkering.
  • The region’s leaders feel comfortable dealing with Putin, who appeals to their self-interest. They covet Russian weaponry and hedge their bets in the uncertainty of U.S. policy. Moscow doesn’t ask Middle East leaders to improve the human rights situation in their countries.
  • American allies in the region, from Egypt, Turkey, Israel, the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), and Morocco, to one degree or another, have come to see Putin as a necessary reality and a more reliable partner than the United States—a mediator who can talk to all sides. Not only has the Kremlin courted every major government and opposition movement in the region, but increasingly, they conversely court the Kremlin.
  • The Kremlin has been careful and holds its cards close when it comes to its ultimate intentions in Libya, but Russia’s presence in the country is real:
  • Saudi Arabian King Salman made a historic visit to Moscow in October 2017, which demonstrates Moscow’s accepted prominence in the region.
  • Arms and nuclear deals play an important role in Egypt’s increasingly closer ties to Russia.
  • Moscow is also building Turkey’s nuclear power plant. Erdogan’s ongoing discussion about the purchase of S- 400’s from Moscow would have been unthinkable even a decade ago but increasingly appears to reflect reality rather than mere posturing.
  • Morocco has grown closer to Russia in terms of Moscow’s support for Morocco’s nuclear energy.

CHINA

The Testimony also covers China’s involvement in the Middle East, which so far is mainly economic with a military and political component.

Also, here’s ‘Rosh’, the leader of the Gog-Magog alliance at a summit with that ‘king’ of the East, who stated that,

“Beijing will continue to promote steady development of ties with Tehran no matter how the situation changes.” Xi condemned Washington’s unilateral pullout from the 2015 nuclear deal with Tehran as the main reason behind rising tensions in the region, calling for the promotion of multilateralism. He stressed that Beijing will continue its strategic relations with Tehran in various fields, including fighting terrorism and systematic crimes.’

Let’s see what scripture says about them in Revelation 16:

Sixth Bowl: Euphrates Dried Up

12 Then the sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up, so that the way of the kings from the east might be prepared. 13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs coming out of the mouth of the dragon, out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. 14 For they are spirits of demons, performing signs, which go out to the kings [g]of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.

22 biblically-related news headlines in one week!

Within days of New Year’s Day seven years ago I introduced this blog’s first readers to the Watcher in The White House, accredited Christian journalist William Koenig, in Points to Ponder: 2011-12 and Biblical Historical/Financial Cycles. It was the first of occasional sorties into the nature of Time and the Bible, now collated in this hub – Time: a Primer.

In last Friday’s Eye View from the White House Bill opens his weekly report with…

“22 significant new events that happened this week – This has been an amazing week of prophetic significance with continued final-day alignment activities” and briefly reports upon activities and then enumerates the events as follows:

“The following are news articles that are prophetically significant. Below the news is insight and information regarding Secretary Pompeo’s trip and more news.

  1. Turkey and the Kurds turn to Russia to solve problems sparked by U.S. exit from Syria – Washington Post
  2. Putin and Erdogan agree to hold talks soon, but exact date is not determined – Kremlin – Tass
  3. Erdogan calls for joint Turkish-Russian-Iranian control of US pullout from Syria in face of Moscow’s veto – Debka
  4. Bolton says U.S. Withdrawal from Syria is conditional: National security adviser says pullout depends on assurances Turkey will protect America’s Kurdish allies – Wall Street Journal
  5. Turkey’s Erdogan refuses Bolton meeting, slams Syria withdrawal shift – Axios
  6. Bolton warns Syria not to use chemical weapons – Wall Street Journal
  7. Trump prepared to ‘unleash fury’ on Syria, Pompeo says – Jerusalem Post
  8. Pompeo promises ‘every last Iranian boot’ will be expelled from Syria – Times of Israel
  9. Pompeo hopes to establish coalition consisting of GCC states, Egypt and Jordan Al Arabiya
  10. Iran’s supreme leader calls US officials ‘idiots,’ but hints sanctions hurting – Times of Israel

  12. US to convene global summit on Iran February 13-14 – Times of Israel
  13. US Navy Update: 11 carrier strike groups and 9 amphibious ready groups; five groups deployed and 15 in US ports – Strafor Intelligence
  14. Pentagon pushes forward on Syria pullout: USS Kearsarge to back up troops at the vulnerable moment they are leaving Syria – Wall Street Journal

  19. Jordanian FM to Pompeo: Israel must eventually withdraw from Golan – Times of Israel
  20. After U.S. prod, ex-envoy to China says Haifa Port deal must be reversed – Jerusalem Post
  21. Israel-China experts downplay impact of Haifa Port decision – Jerusalem Post
  22. Egypt’s El Sisi Builds Middle East’s Largest Church – CBN.”

Bill doesn’t refer to specific bible prophecies because most of his readership, like mine, is familiar with Old and New Testament prophecies. [Those covering current events in the Middle-East are Daniel 7-8 (the vision of four beasts, the goat and ram), Zecharia 12 (Jerusalem and its enemies) and Ezekiel 36-19 (Gog & Magog) in the main.]

Next, he outlines the points Secretary Pompeo made in his speech in Cairo, which was a sensible turnaround of the seriously flawed one addressed to the whole Muslim world by Obama in 2009. [My critiques of Obama’s Cairo Speech followed by Europe and Two Daniels (ie. the EU) were some of my early emails on end-times.]

Subsequently, Debka reports Sunni Arab leaders are very uneasy about America pulling out of their region in the face of Iranian aggression, but they have to learn to look after themselves – in my opinion they will draw more closely alongside Israel, an alignment that started months ago.  Also, it’s a necessary part of shaking off the shackles of the Obama pro-Iranian legacy.

Bible Update: ‘Gog-Magog’ axis moves onto financial footing

Latest developments on ‘axis of infamy’ foreseen by OT prophet Ezekiel is that last week’s Putin-Rouhani-Erdogan summit in Tehran determined ways of circumventing US economic sanctions against their three nations (ie Russia, Iran and Turkey).

Once their troops in Syria overcome the rebels last stronghold in Idlib then Syria will be rebuilt and become a sanctions-busting hub. According to DebkaFile, ‘the three leaders forged an economic-strategic pact to create measures for fighting American sanctions. One measure approved was to contract all business deals among Russia, Iran and Turkey, including gas and oil, in local currencies instead of American dollars. The same rule would apply to banking transactions….US and Israel paid special note to the trilateral decision reached in Tehran to convert the massive projects for Syria’s post-war recovery (after Iran had solidified its military foothold there) into a back-door hatch for escaping US sanctions against Iran. During the Obama presidency, Oman and Abu Dhabi served this purpose; under Donald Trump, it will pass to Damascus, with the added benefit of protection from the deepening Russian-Iranian-Syrian military cooperation…’

Many have long suspected events are well on the way to final fulfillment of the prophecy of the destruction of Damascus (Isaiah 17:1). With ‘Basher’ Assad’s obliteration of rebel areas, large parts of that capital are already in ruins!

Genesis 12 and deceit of Turkey’s president cont’d

Continuing from previous post, in an interview in the Oval Office on Monday, Donald Trump said he thought he had a deal with Turkeys’ president when he helped to persuade Israel to free a detained Turkish citizen!  He’d thought Erdogan would then release Andrew Brunson, an evangelical pastor held since 2016 and facing 35 years in prison on espionage and terror-related charges.

Arutz Sheva reports him telling Reuters on Monday, “I think it’s very sad what Turkey is doing. I think they’re making a terrible mistake. There will be no concessions.”  When asked about the potential damage to other economies from the tariffs he imposed, he said, “I’m not concerned at all. I’m not concerned. This is the proper thing to do.”

Trump said Erdogan had wanted the Turkish citizen returned from Israel. Earlier a senior White House official said they’d met in Brussels for a NATO summit in mid-July where they discussed Brunson’s case and what could be the way forward to release the pastor.  Turkey had sought US help to persuade the Israelis to release a Turkish woman who was being held in Israel, the senior official said. In exchange Turkey would release Brunson and other Americans being held in Turkey.

Trump said he kept his side of the bargain. “I got that person out for him. I expect him to let this very innocent and wonderful man and great father and great Christian out of Turkey,” Trump told Reuters.

In response to the continued imprisonment of pastor Brunson the US president imposed sanctions on several Turkish officials and a 20 percent duty on aluminum and a 50 percent duty on steel. Turkey imposed tariffs on certain imports from the United States.

Gaza Knock-on Effect

After deceiving Trump and defaulting on their agreement, Erdogan has now stepped into the stalled haggling over plans to obtain a truce to alleviate the situation in Gaza.  Yesterday, DebkaFile exclusively reports: 

‘One of the key benefits under discussion is the use of a Mediterranean port to enable the enclave to receive goods and export merchandise, mostly agricultural products. Port Said on the bank of the Suez Canal was mentioned, as well as Limassol or Larnaca in Cyprus. However, the release of Ebru Ozkan was seen by Hamas as a sign of Israel’s weakness and it raised the ante once again. Now, the Palestinian negotiators in Cairo are demanding that the port made available to them be located in Turkish Cyprus. There, Israel would have no way of monitoring the types of goods Hamas was importing to the Gaza Strip and President Erdogan, a longstanding fan of the Palestinian terrorists, would be able to supply them out of sight with weapons and military equipment. All this means that Turkey can now jump with both feet into the shambolic Gaza truce negotiations and use them as a tool for getting back at Trump and Israel.’

Following the previous post on a few national leaders who bless or curse Israel and, noting Turkey’s Erdogan fits the bill, I draw your attention to Caroline Glick’s latest, perspicacious as ever, in-depth analysis and encourage you to read it in its entirety.

She writes on the rapid deterioration in US-Turkey’s relationship, climaxing in Donald Trump’s imposition of sanctions because paranoid president Erdogan continues unjustly detaining an evangelical Presbyterian pastor (click header to read).:

Andrew Brunson Case Proves US-Turkey Alliance Has Been Over For Years

Brunson has lived in Turkey for 23 years but in October 2016 routinely went to the local police station to renew his Turkish visa – but got detained instead!

Caroline’s methodical manner of recapitulating an issue’s history is very helpful to those new to the topic, as well as adding weight to her observations and sound conclusions. William Koenig describes her journalism as ‘ne-plus ultra’ (none better).

For my newer readers here are pertinent parts of the background to her geopolitical knowledge:

  • Caroline Glick born in Houston, TX and grew up in Chicago, IL, moved to Israel in 1991 after receiving her BA in Political Science from Columbia University, joined the Israel Defense Forces that Summer, serving as an officer for over five years.
  • 1994-96 as an IDF captain, Ms Glick served in the Defense Ministry as a core member of Israel’s negotiating team with the Palestinians.
  • 1997-98 served as Assistant Foreign Policy Advisor to Prime Minister Netanyahu.
  • 1998-2000 studied at Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Government and received a Master’s in Public Policy in June 2000.
  • Summer 2000, Ms Glick returned to Israel and began writing at Makor Rishon newspaper (Hebrew), served as its chief diplomatic commentator ’til Jan 2008.
  • March 2002, joined The Jerusalem Post as Deputy Managing Editor and senior columnist. Today, as Senior Contributing Editor, Ms. Glick is the newspaper’s most widely-read columnist. She began writing a weekly Hebrew language column for Maariv in 2014 and began writing at Breitbart in January 2018.

Bible Update: Genesis 12 blessing and curse in the news

Posted on by

Now [in Haran] the LORD said to Abram, “Go for yourself [for your own advantage] away from your country, from your relatives and your father’s house, to the land that I will show you.

“And I will make of you a great nation and I will bless you [with abundant increase of favors] and make your name famous and distinguished, and you will be a blessing [dispensing good to others].

“And I will bless those who bless you [who confer prosperity or happiness upon you] and curse him who curses or uses insolent language towards you; in you ALL the families and kindred of the earth will be blessed [and by you they will bless themselves].” (Genesis 12:1-3 Amplified Bible)

I was reminded of this passage last weekend as being the explanation for the amazing news of financial markets in the US defying the tumult convulsing rest of the world!

Bloomberg reports: “If we looked at the world through just a U.S. lens, it would all seem quite sublime. Geopolitics and geo-tensions are far from it, however,” Marty Mitchell, former head government bond trader at Stifel Nicolaus & Co. and now an independent strategist, said in his daily newsletter Thursday. “It’s just a strange and disconcerting world that we live in, yet the U.S. equity market and the U.S. economy just keep chugging along”; …‘for now, investors may have good reason to be confident in U.S. assets amid the global turmoil. (but) that doesn’t mean they can ignore the events offshore, such as Turkey,’ says Peter Boockvar, chief investment officer of Bleakley Financial Group.”

To me this speaks of a consequential blessing coming upon the United States because president Trump recognises Jerusalem as the capital of the Jewish state of Israel and therefore relocated the US embassy there. (The next day Guatemala moved theirs too and their ambassador reports that on the day its doors opened no crime was reported in her homeland for the first time in its history! – ICEJ editorial, Word From Jerusalem.)

And now, a week later, those verses of Genesis 12 crop up again upon reading William Koenig’s Eye View from the White House in connection with these references:

BRITAIN’S CORBYN NEXT??

Therefore I must ask, is deeply anti-Semitic Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn next?? His support of terrorists has been coming under increasing exposure. Read a survivor of the 1972 Munich Olympics murders: I nearly died with my teammates. I hope Corbyn disappears from politics.

We know God’s word doesn’t return to Him void, ie. without accomplishing its purpose, so it’s encouraging to see Him bringing it about.

Bible Update: Gog-Magog developments

Posted on by

Further to February’s Bible Updates on Israel & USA vs Iran & Russia, I’m now reading  DebkaFile’s exclusive report issued just after midday, Jerusalem, about Israel’s Prime Minister Netanyahu and Russian president Putin at loggerheads during yesterday’s phone conversation, which Bibi had initiated:

‘Vladimir Putin warned Binyamin Netanyahu to discontinue Israeli strikes in Syria because they may rock the Assad regime [backed by Moscow] and insisted on Israel respecting Syrian sovereignty and security. By this warning, Russia clamped down on the freedom the Israeli air force had hitherto enjoyed in Syrian air space for striking hostile elements, primarily Iran and Hizballah.

‘Netanyahu shot back, according to our sources, that Israel cannot possibly desist from action over Syria, since this would leave Iran at liberty to establish a permanent, hostile military presence in that country. And so, said the prime minister, Israel would have to persevere in its efforts to stop this happening. The conversation between Putin and Netanyahu ended in total discord…‘

Previously, Israel had kept Russia appraised of possible action against Iranian military activity inimical to Israel’s safety. As well as his knowing the existence of many sources of the nerve agent toxin Novichok, the release of which necessitated continued closure to the public of many locations within the city of Salisbury, that most sensitive working relationship meant Netanyahu refrained from joining the wide, international censure of Russia over the poisoning incident.  It’s no wonder their villainous and deeply sinister schemes countenance their Syrian vassal’s continued commissioning of war crimes.

[UPDATE: ‘Without revealing his source, French President Emmanuel Macron said Thursday: “We have proof that last week chemical weapons, at least chlorine, were used by the regime of Bashar al-Assad” in Douma – Debka Breaking News.]

There was, however, another reason: Israel was preparing a pre-emptive airstrike against Iranian hardware at the T-4 airbase near Homs in Syria and this time kept Russia in the dark but informed President Trump!  This change of tack brought forth a dramatic change in Kremlin’s longstanding practice of letting Israel’s military operations pass without comment. Moscow’s tone towards Israel turned hostile (9 April) reports:

‘DebkaFile’s military and intelligence sources say that Moscow’s ire was prompted by five causes and more hostile steps against Israel may be coming:

  1. Israel’s reported military strike in Syria hit President Vladimir Putin at a highly vulnerable moment, when the US and its Western allies were holding him directly accountable for chemical weapons attacks in Syria and the United Kingdom.
  2. Putin never imagined that the nerve agent attack on the former Russian spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter would be tied in with allegations that the Russian-backed Assad regime was using poison gas against Syrian civilians in Douma near Damascus.
  3. The Russian president suspects that Israel struck the T-4 airbase, a shared Syrian-Russian-Iranian air facility, as an advance foray on behalf of the US for testing Moscow’s reaction to a larger operation. He is therefore pushing back strongly against the Israeli attack to ward off a US sequel.
  4. After Israel’s wide-ranging air offensive on Feb. 10, which ended in one of its F-16 jets being shot down, Putin warned Jerusalem to desist from further attacks on Syrian targets, else the Russian air force would hit back. Israel complied for two months. But then, the compulsion became pressing to take out a key Iranian target, even at the risk of Russian disfavor.’

On the ‘Ezekiel 38 Alliance’, or Gog-Magog, political front we need to note the recent summit in Ankara between the leaders of Russia, Turkey and Iran. Most noteworthy is the fact their currencies are ‘tumbling in tandem’, as reported by Asia Times.

Close on the heels of the summit Iran’s supreme leader once again spoke about their intentions of removing Israel. On arriving in Damascus on Tuesday his senior adviser, Ali Akbar Velayati, bluntly stated, “Israel’s air strike on the Syrian air base will not go unanswered,” he said, At the same time Tehran gained support from its Russian ally in the visit of special Russian emissary on Syria, Alexander Lavrentiev. In a long meeting with Iran’s national security adviser Rear Admiral Ali Shamkhani, the Russian said Iran’s decision for a military response to the T-4 attack was understandable. He proposes combining Iran’s action against Israel with Russia’s plans for countering the forthcoming US-British-France operation in Syria (Moscow-Tehran link up to strike Israeli targets in response to US-led operation in Syria).

Those familiar with the prophetic nature of the holy scriptures watch all developments with deep interest. For example, here’s what the prophet Isiah brought that’s now coming into fulfillment in our days on ‘The burden (oracle/prophecy) against Damascus’ (Isaiah 17:1):

“Behold, Damascus will cease from being a city, and it will be a ruinous heap.”

Selah!

Saudi Crown Prince sees ‘Second Signpost’ — Tangoes Trump out of Turkey and Quatar

The heir apparent to the Saudi throne, Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman, gets it. He called Iran’s Ayatollah Khamenei “the new Hitler” back in November. Admittedly, I didn’t read the story; after all, of course the Ayatollah is like Hitler – ruling his nation with an iron fist, etc. It’s a no-brainer.…

Also in this week’s news, in Washington ‘MbS’ and Donald Trump dance the tango to move a major US airbase from Turkey and Central Comms from Quatar to Saudi Arabia (photo and text courtesy Debka):

TRUMP-MsB-UAE ACTION GROUP:

‘Ahead of their White House talks on Tuesday, March 20, President Donald Trump and the Saudi Crown Prince agree on a new Supreme Committee to coordinate military and diplomatic efforts for curbing Iranian expansion. The United Arab Emirate is the third member. This committee, to focus on coordinated operations, will consist of the three governments’ national security advisers. For final decisions, they will call in President Trump, Saudi Crown Prince Muhammed bin Salman (MbS) and the UAE Emir Sheikh Muhammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan (MbZ). White House sources reported that the new group would be ceremonially launched in Washington this week. The Emirates national security adviser Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan will come over to join the event. The emir himself is expected in Washington soon.

‘US and Saudi officials confirmed Tuesday that the new Supreme Committee’s mission would be to execute the goal shared by the three governments, namely, to stall Iran’s expansionist designs across the oil-rich Gulf and the Middle East...(click title for more)’.

US TRANSFERS TWO MID-EAST BASES:

‘Plans to speed up the transfer of the big US CENTCOM base in Qatar to Saudi Arabia were approved by President Donald Trump and Saudi Crown Prince Muhamed bin Salman when they met at the White House on Tuesday, March 20. This is an earth-shaking event for the Middle East, which far transcends US-Saudi relations, say DEBKAfile’s military sources. They also disclose that, despite repeated denials, the Trump administration is in the process of another momentous move, packing up its air force and quitting Incirlik in southern Turkey, the biggest air base in the region.

‘The two moves are interconnected. Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan has become an avid supporter of the Emir of Qatar, Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, who is locked in a feud with the Saudi rulers. Turkey recently established a large military base in the oil emirate. The Saudi Crown Prince and his ally, the UAE ruler Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al-Nahyan, are close friends and President Trump’s leading allies in the Gulf region. The two Gulf rulers view the Turkish president and Qatari emir as arch-foes…(click title for more)’.
