Isaiah 17 Threatened!

PM Netanyahu in speech to the nation: “The enemy wanted war, and it shall receive war. Israel’s actions will resonate for generations to come“. In an Israeli warning to Hezbollah it was stated: IDF will destroy Damascus, target Syrian President Assad if Hezbollah joins war. Over 75% of Israelis living in Lebanon border areas have left their homes ahead of a potential military clash vs. Hezbollah; large deployment of IDF forces in border communities. Netanyahu, the longest serving PM of Israel is not to be challenged. 

The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap. Is. 17:1

How long before we see some spillover here in the states? Iraqi Forces Issue Stark Warning: U.S. Will Become a Legitimate Target if It Intervenes in Palestine.

The United States is reportedly not yet considering an Emergency Evacuation of American Citizens in Israel despite other Countries such as Poland and Mexico already beginning to Evacuate their Citizens. So far, 11 Americans have been killed in the Hamas attacks. Why did the White House shut down at noon today of all days? 

Perhaps you may remember back in May of this year that 30 tons of explosive chemical disappeared from train after departing Cheyenne.

Officials are early in their investigation but the leading theory is the disappearance resulted from a leak, and there is no indication the material was stolen.

A leak? You may also remember that this same type of chemical, ammonium nitrate fertilizer, is what blew up the Port in Beirut, Lebanon back in August of 2020. The blast was one of the largest non-nuclear explosions ever recorded, killing more than 200 people, wounding thousands, and devastating swathes of Beirut. So what ever happened to the 30 tons “lost” in Cheyenne, Wyoming? The latest report suggest essentially the same: “As we have previously indicated, all the available evidence suggests this was a leak that occurred over the course of transportation from origin to destination.”

Maybe that is true, but in this age of deception, we will probably never know. Finally, I will let President Trump speak to what has been on my mind for some time.

No Turning Back

by atharris, posted in Israel, Israel/Hamas conflict, Middle East, Prophecy

As rockets and terrorist from Gaza continue to enter into Israel, over 300,000 Israelis reservist have been activated to move against Hamas and any other enemy of Israel.  The Gaza strip is turning to ruins as the Israeli Air Force has bombed a total of 1,200 targets so far and turned off their water and electricity source. The IDF has announced that combat helicopters are currently striking targets in Lebanon moving the war further out.

Hamas’s attacks on Israel were planned weeks in advance with 𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗜𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗮𝗻 𝘀𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹𝘀, according to a report in WSJ. Israel is preparing for the possible outbreak of full-scale regional war. We know Iran has been behind most of the aggression towards Israel for some time now. 

PM Netanyahu has stated “We are already in the campaign, and we are just getting started. Your leadership has been very strong in these difficult days. The state will leave no stone unturned to help all of you. I ask that you stand steadfast because we are going to change the Middle East. I embrace you and the residents. We are all with you and we will defeat them forcefully“. Jerusalem will become “Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem.” Zech. 12:2

So here we are folks, the beginning of the end I believe. There is much prophetic war prophecy to be fulfilled. It will certainly take time for this to play out, but the recent actions in the middle east have crossed a line. Meanwhile, back in the U.S., Pro-Hamas supporters have been rallying around the nation including in front of the White House. One rally in New York has called for Jihad. Will this escalation spill over into the U.S.? Could this be the dark days I warned about here: Watchman’s Warning

Be alert, stay watchful, and stay out of the big cities if at all possible. The current administration is not your friend and the more the Middle East spirals out of control, the chances of danger here will also increase. I am not a fear monger or sensationalist, but reality is here. Perhaps I am also to much of an optimist, for I am still hopeful for a blessing to come out of this, even if just for a short while. For Hope is all we have. 

For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for? But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it. Romans 8:24-25

Living in the “End Times”?

by atharris, posted in Deception, Prophecy
My journey as a watchman started back in 2007 during the presidential election year. Barack Obama was in the running at the time and went on to win two terms as President. Prior to 2007, I really had little knowledge of biblical prophecy and the end times. Looking back, it has been an incredible journey as a watchman and Bible student along with my fellow friend and brother watchman, to see the world change so drastically over the years, especially with the 2020 COVID event. How could one not see…… But sadly, that is the case even today. The statistics below are startling, but at the same time expected as the Bible tells us it would be this way. 

But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. (38) For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, (39) And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. Mat. 24:37-39

Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. 2 Pe. 3:3-4

And finally…….

The official noted that cooperation between Russia’s state nuclear company, Rosatom, and AEOI is proceeding well. In November, Tehran and Moscow struck a deal under which Russia is to build eight new nuclear reactors in Iran.

According to the agreement, four of the planned reactors are to be constructed at the Bushehr nuclear station, already the site of one Russian-built reactor. The remaining four are to be built elsewhere in the Islamic republic, though the exact location has not yet been determined.

Israel

Netanyahu vowed that no matter how dark the present situation, the terrorists “will never, ever beat us.

President Francois Hollande visited the French aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle in Toulon Wednesday ahead of its departure for the Gulf and Indian Ocean. There was no word on its mission in those waters, but the presidential visit on the carrier’s deck, a week after deadly Islamist terror attacks shocked France, suggested operations were afoot against Al Qaeda in Arabia (AQAP), its Yemen headquarters and/or Islamic State targets in Iraq. DEBKAfile: If the Charles de Gaulle does carry out such operations, it will be the first time that a Western nuclear warship has ever gone into action against Al Qaeda targets.

Iran

In the eyes of most Iraqis, their country’s best ally in the war against the Islamic State group is not the United States and the coalition air campaign against the militants. It’s Iran, which is credited with stopping the extremists’ march on Baghdad.

For years, it was thought that Israel had destroyed Syria’s nuclear weapons capability with its 2007 raid on the Kibar complex. Not so. New intelligence suggests that Bashar al-Assad is still trying to built the bomb. And he may be getting help from North Korea and Iran.

ISIS

The arrival of the Dhar family in Syria last month represents a key strategic goal of the Islamic State: to build not just an army but a society. The group has vowed to create a nation ruled by Islamic sharia law, and its leaders and online recruiters have encouraged doctors, nurses, lawyers, engineers and accountants to join them in building the institutions of a new holy land.

Entire families — fathers, mothers and children — have answered that call in numbers that have surprised and alarmed analysts who study the extremist group.

Egypt

Egyptian experts tell the Guardian the ruler’s anti-democratic decrees are unmatched in rate and scope

Is it possible that 1.6 billion people [Muslims] should want to kill the rest of the world’s inhabitants—that is 7 billion—so that they themselves may live? Impossible!

I am saying these words here at Al Azhar, before this assembly of scholars and ulema—Allah Almighty be witness to your truth on Judgment Day concerning that which I’m talking about now.

All this that I am telling you, you cannot feel it if you remain trapped within this mindset. You need to step outside of yourselves to be able to observe it and reflect on it from a more enlightened perspective.

I say and repeat again that we are in need of a religious revolution. You, imams, are responsible before Allah. The entire world, I say it again, the entire world is waiting for your next move… because this umma is being torn, it is being destroyed, it is being lost—and it is being lost by our own hands.

The successful roll-out so far of a new “smart card” system to distribute subsidized bread has been a major achievement for Egypt’s government, saving money while earning praise from families who no longer have to wake early to fight for loaves.

President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi appears to be succeeding where predecessors Hosni Mubarak and Mohamed Mursi both failed in the delicate task of reforming a system that has drained the state’s finances while angering the population.

Gaza Ceasefire – will it hold?

by atharris, posted in Israel/Hamas conflict, Middle East

As of yesterday, a new ceasefire agreement has been accepted by Israel and Hamas. Is the war over and did Israel get the victory?? The re-opening of the Gaza border crossing is the Rafah crossing that Egypt has been guarding against terrorist entering into Gaza and Israel via the Sinai Peninsula.

The battered residents of southern Israel were clear: “Israel surrendered to terror” by failing to destroy Hamas and accepting a truce that left the terrorists fully armed. The next Gaza war is only a matter of time, they insisted.

Israeli government officials tried to put a positive spin on the situation, noting that Hamas, and Gaza as a whole, had suffered a major blow.

………………..

………. members of Israel’s security cabinet, who were furious that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had agreed to the Egyptian-brokered ceasefire without first seeking their input.

The terms of the deal Netanyahu accepted were these:

  1. Both sides will immediately implement an open-ended ceasefire (which they did on Tuesday afternoon);
  2. Gaza border crossings will be opened for the import of humanitarian aid and supplies for reconstruction;
  3. Gaza’s fishing zone will be extended further into the Mediterranean.

The Hamas demands that did not make the final cut were:

  1. The development of sea and air ports in Gaza;
  2. The release of Hamas terrorists arrested in Judea and Samaria over the past two months;
  3. The transfer of salaries to Hamas officials in Gaza.

The Israeli conditions removed from the final draft included:

  1. The demilitarization of Gaza;
  2. A mechanism to prevent Hamas from rearming;
  3. The return of the bodies of fallen IDF soldiers taken by Hamas during the Gaza war.
