Moving on….
The events of today continue to build towards the climax of the infallible word of God.
Hooks in the Jaw
The hooks in the jaw digs deeper still…..
In another sign of warming ties between Moscow and Riyadh, the Saudi Public Investment Fund agreed Tuesday to invest a record $10 billion in Russian projects over the next four years, the largest foreign investment in the country. It comes after Saudi Deputy Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman visited St. Petersburg last month. He held long talks with President Vladimir Putin, after which the two governments signed an accord for Russia to build 16 nuclear reactors and a nuclear research program in the oil kingdom. Saudi Arabia to invest a peak $10 bn in Russian projects
And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth…..Eze. 38:3-4
Prophecy against Elam
The second nuclear accord deadline has now passed with no agreement.
A US source said Tuesday night after the second deadline in eight days for a comprehensive nuclear deal with Iran went by that if no deal is finalized by Thursday, the negotiations will be abandoned. Some of the diplomats representing the six powers left Vienna. Russia’s Sergey Lavrov said he would return if necessary. Secretary of State John Kerry and Iran’s Mohammed Javad Zarif planned to stay in Vienna and keeping negotiating, along with the EU foreign executive Federica Mogherini. DEBKAfile:
Iran nuclear talks may not go on past Thusday.
“It seems that the nuclear talks in Iran have yielded a collapse, not a breakthrough,” Netanyahu said at the start of the weekly cabinet meeting on Sunday. “The major powers’ concessions are growing.”……..According to the prime minister, the current shape of the nuclear agreement would only “pave Iran’s path to the production of very many atomic bombs and it will also channel to Iran hundreds of billions of dollars that will serve its aggression and terrorism campaigns in our region and around the world.”Netanyahu Warns Nuclear Deal a “Collapse, Not a Breakthrough” as Concessions GrowThus saith the Lord of hosts; Behold, I will break the bow of Elam, the chief of their might.Jeremiah 49:35
Thou didst break
Israel’s reliance on Egypt for safety on her southern border is now coming into question.
Hamas’ own willingness to jump into bed with Egypt, Hizballah, Iran and ISIS – all at once – undoubtedly creates a confused picture about its shifting motives. However, Israeli policymakers must beware of falling into the dangerous trap of ambivalence and loss of focus.
This tripartite ISIS-Muslim Brotherhood-Hamas axis is currently in full momentum. Egypt is therefore in for a drawn-out bloody war. Israeli policymakers would be foolish to depend on Cairo pull this red-hot iron out of the terrorist fire any time soon. They must find ways – the sooner the better – to grapple with the reality of a rampant Islamic State next door. ISIS is already in the process of overrunning the Gaza Strip; it is on the way to seizing expanding sections of the Sinai Peninsula. That territory will serve as a convenient base for Islamist raids against Israel. Israeli policymakers’ alarming over-reliance on Egypt to grapple with Hamas and ISIS
6 And all the inhabitants of Egypt shall know that I am the Lord, because they have been a staff of reed to the house of Israel. 7 When they took hold of thee by thy hand, thou didst break, and rend all their shoulder: and when they leaned upon thee, thou brakest, and madest all their loins to be at a stand. Ezekiel 29:6–7
Confederate against Thee
The various sects of Islam are actively killing each other all over the Middle East and North Africa, but they all have one thing in common, and that is their hatred for Israel.
Fearing a spillover of fighting from Egypt, the Israeli Defense Forces has bolstered its presence in the Sinai Peninsula Thursday after dozens of people were killed in a wave of terror attacks by ISIS…….Clashes come one day after Israel’s Defense Ministry closed the border crossing between the Gaza Strip and Egypt amid growing reports of terror related incidents…..Amid Sinai Attacks, Netanyahu Warns ISIS “Knocking” at Israel’s Borders
Monday, July 6, IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Gady Eisenkott unveiled Israel’s answer to the coming challenge. It is a unique, multi-purpose commando ground force, especially tailored to fight ISIS and provide the “boots on the ground” which the US-led coalition has kept back from the Islamists’ constantly expanding warfront. It will be trained and armedfor extraordinary missions outside routine military tasks.The revelation was something of a wake-up call for the general Israeli population. The new Commando Brigade is designed for quiet, bold, covert and effective action against terrorist groups posing a threat from the Sinai Desert to Egyptian sovereignty and Israel’s southern border. Such action would be coordinated closely between Israeli and Egyptian military and intelligence arms.Similar operations would also be staged if necessary from Israel’s northern border – against Hizballah or any threat from Syria. Israel merges IDF elite units to form the new Commando Brigade tailored to combat ISIS
For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee: Psalm 83:5
ISIS attacks Egypt in North Sinai
Some 200 dead – Egyptian troops, Islamists, civilians – in major ISIS-Egyptian battle in North Sinai
The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant moved ominously close to Israel’s borders Wednesday, July 1 – not as predicted in the north, but in the south, from the Sinai Peninsula. There, ISIS followed up on its Ramadan terror outrages in France, Tunisia, Kuwait and Kobani, with a massive assault on Egyptian forces and reportedly capturing the northern Sinai town of Sheikh Zuwaid close to the Israeli and Gaza Strip borders. Confirmation of this would mean that the MFO facility at Gora is under ISIS siege. It would also mean that the Islamists had captured their first Egyptian town, a victory comparable to seizure of the Iraqi city of Ramadi. In the fierce 10-hour battle for the town, at least 200 Egyptian soldiers, terrorists and civilians were killed.
Not just a terrorist attack, ISIS launched a full-scale military offensive, starting with mortar fire and suicide bombings against five Egyptian military checkpoints.Using a tactic similar to that employed in the capture of the Iraqi town of Ramadi last month, ISIS gunmen followed this initial assault by riding in on minivans, backed by heavy mortar fire, to storm the positions held by stunned Egyptian troops. Altogether some 20 Egyptian army positions were attacked in and around Sheikh Zuwaid.
Egyptian troop reinforcements setting out from El Arish to the northeast to aid the beleaguered force, went up on mine and bomb traps secretly planted around their camps and police stations. Egyptian Apache assault helicopters striking the ISIS force themselves faced ground fire from shoulder-borne anti-air missiles.
The Islamists are additionally said to have taken Egyptian prisoners as hostages.
As the fighting grew fierce during Wednesday, Israel shut its border crossings with Egypt and the Gaza Strip, and sent reinforcements south in case the jihadis launched an attack on Israel from northern Sinai.
Our military sources also report that US Middle East forces located in Jordan and at Sharm el-Sheikh are on the ready in case the Islamic State decides to attack the US officers and men at the Multinational Force (MFO) facility in Sinai, which is located near the Sheikh Zuwaid battlefield.
The ISIS Sinai offensive is part and parcel of the reign of terror launched last Friday by Yassin Sahli when he beheaded his French boss, and Seifeddine Rezgui, who murdered 39 holidaymakers on a Tunisian beach. Standing ready for the Islamist offensive in Sinai were the jihadis of the Ansar Beit al-Maqdis, which recently declared Sinai a province of the Islamic State and took an oath of allegiance to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.ISIS draws on two additional major sources for its fighting manpower: the infrastructure it established in turbulent Libya for training and arming jihadis to cross the Egyptian border into Sinai; and the fatal attraction its radicalizing ideology holds for young Muslims who are taught that the brutal murder of Islam’s foes is a cleansing and purifying act.
Greece Defaults on IMF Payment
Greece slipped deeper into its financial abyss after the bailout program it has relied on for five years expired at midnight Tuesday and the country failed to repay a loan due to the International Monetary Fund, deepening fears over whether it will be able to remain in the eurozone.
With its failure to repay the roughly 1.6 billion euros ($1.8 billion) to the IMF, Greece became the first developed country to fall into arrears on payments to the fund.
Update on Greece Default
Banks and the stock exchange will remain closed after Greek citizens queued all weekend to withdraw savings.
Banks in Greece and the country’s stock exchange will be shut all week in a sign of the deepening financial crisis.
The drastic move comes after people rushed to withdraw their cash amid panic ahead of the referendum on bailout terms.
Under the controls, there will be a daily €60 limit on withdrawals from cash machines, which will reopen on Tuesday.

Now Puerto Rico is under the strain of enormous debt. When will the US be there……
Puerto Rico’s Governor Says Island’s Debts Are ‘Not Payable’
Puerto Rico’s governor, saying he needs to pull the island out of a “death spiral,” has concluded that the commonwealth cannot pay its roughly $72 billion in debts, an admission that will probably have wide-reaching financial repercussions.
Let us always remember:
For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, 1Th 5:9
Greece and the Coming Global Collapse of Economies
We have seen many things on a small scale that will amplify exponentially just before and into the Tribulation. Some examples include earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, pestilence, and the evil of men and spiritual wickedness. The incident in Greece today is no exception. One day the world will awake to a collapsed dollar that will reverberate around the world.
The eurozone rejected a Greek request for a one-month extension to its bailout Saturday, plunging the country into a period of high uncertainty and raising concerns about wider fallout from the crisis when financial markets open Monday….
Eurozone Finance Ministers Reject Greek Request for One-Month Bailout Extension
And then:
Greece will keep its banks closed on Monday in a bid to prevent its banking system from collapsing, a bank official said, after the European Central Bank moved to cap the amount of emergency loans it provides for the country’s cash-strapped lenders.
Greek Banks Will Not Open Monday
Alexis Tsipras, Prime Minister of Greece, is a man of mystery himself. He is an atheist and a far left winger and was recently elected as PM in January of this year, seemingly coming out of nowhere. One day, “the main” man of mystery will pop up on the scene to take over a broken and chaotic world…..and interestingly, he also will be of partial Greek linage.
…..the paper argues that Tsipras has not only overplayed his hand, but may now be misleading his people on just what is at stake in Greece’s July 5 referendum.
On Friday night, Tsipras made a surprise announcement calling for a vote on the latest proposed terms of a bailout extension from Greece’s creditors. This move led to a breakdown in talks on Saturday and has set Greece on a course to missing its scheduled payment of €1.6 billion to the IMF on Tuesday.
Turning Point
Remember this day in history June 26th, 2015 as it was the day America officially died, for she has become as Sodom and Gomorrah.
Supreme Court ruling legalizes same-sex marriage nationwide
From here, the US can expect an all out assault on Christians by the Gay mafia and other various groups. It may also be the beginning of the great apostasy or what Paul describes as the “falling away” of the Church.
Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 2Th 2:3
On the same day, the Vatican has signed a peace treaty with Palestine; the natural enemy of Israel.
The agreement, according to a Vatican statement, “deals with essential aspects of the life and activity of the Catholic Church in Palestine.” Vatican signs first treaty with ‘State of Palestine,’ backs two-state solution
In the recent weeks leading up to this announcement, many have stepped forward and begun calling the Pope the False Prophet of Revelation.
Israel can now expect more pressure and hostility to form the two state solution. Israeli Deputy Foreign Minister Tzipi Hotovely said:
“It is unfortunate that the Vatican decide to give a hand to this time of action and to blatantly ignore the history of the Jewish people in Israel and Jerusalem,” she said. “All attempts by the Palestinians and other factors to undermine our historic rights to Jerusalem and Israel will be met with fierce opposition from us.”
Also for this month is the final Iranian Nuclear Accord agreement June 30th.
There is so much happening today at such great speed that it is almost impossible to keep up with the rapid changes and recently the House Intel Committee Chair has stated:
US Is At ‘The Highest Threat Level We Have Ever Faced In This Country’ ……….that the threat is coming from the radicalization of young people and foreign fighters heading to Iraq and Syria to join terror groups……
But perhaps the biggest threat facing America today is…..America.
Stay tuned for the next post as the month of September and October have some momentous events in store and it is quite possible that we are on the verge of fulfilling some major prophecy.
Looking for that Blessed Hope!
