ISRAEL VS. IRAN VS. RUSSIA?

This headline, from yesterday’s Jewish News Syndicate, really got my attention this morning: “Iran said to be fearful after Israel hits missile program, air defenses.”

Joshua Marks reported: “Israel’s aerial offensive inside Iran overnight Friday caused severe damage to Tehran’s ballistic missile program, according to analyses of satellite imagery. Dubbed by Jerusalem “Operation Days of Repentance,” the strikes were in response to Iran firing a barrage of some 200 ballistic missiles at Israel on October1. Some 100 Israeli fighter jets, spy planes and refueling aircraft flew across the Middle East on Friday night to attack 20 missile and drone facilities across Iran in three waves. The Israeli strikes may have ‘significantly hampered Iran’s ability to mass produce missiles,’ Decker Eveleth, an associate research analyst at CNA, a nonprofit research organization in Washington, told Reuters after examining the satellite photos.”

This made me think of the prophecy of Ezekiel 38:1-13 where, at some time in the future, Russia, Iran and a host of other nations will descend upon Israel “to capture spoil and to seize plunder, to turn your hand against the waste places which are now in your company to seize plunder, to carry away silver and gold, to take away and against the people who are gathered from the nations, who have acquired cattle and goods, who live at the center of the world, Sheba, Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish (Spain) with all its villages, will say to you, ‘Have you come to capture spoil? Have you assembled your company to seize plunder, to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to capture great spoil?”

This is a prophecy which I believe (and I could be wrong) is yet to be fulfilled, but maybe fulfilled in our lifetime. So, stay tuned, dearly beloved in Christ, and keep watching, waiting, working, witnessing for, walking with and worshiping Jesus until He comes. And, if you are not a believer in Jesus, why not become one today, right now, by agreeing with God you are a sinner who needs a Savior Who is Jesus (Romans 3:23, 24) and believe He died on a cross for your sins, was buried and raised from the dead (I Corinthians 15:1-4) to forgive all your sins and give you eternal life (John 3:16). And, if you do, I’ll see you in heaven. Glory to God! Blessings, Doug (10/28/24)

MORE RUMORS & WARS!

Good morning, blog readers, from dark and cool (61 degrees) Wisconsin where, on my morning walk under clear skies, I saw a plane and the heavens declaring the glory of God (Psalm 19:1)! Thank You, Jesus!

Over the last two days, I saw two new “rumors of war” to “war” headlines in the news: Article #1: ‘Days of Repentance’: Israel strikes multiple targets across Iran in retaliatory strikes. Article #2 Iranian Missiles Hit Europe: Europe Does Nothing!”

In the first article #1, Yuval Barnea, of the Jerusalem Post, reported: “The attack occurred in three major waves, with the second and third waves targeting Iranian drone and missile production sites, hitting over 20 targets.”

In the second article, Majid Rafizadeh of the Gatestone Institute, wrote: “Iran’s Islamist regime has never made a secret of its ambitions. Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, who seized power following the overthrow of Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi and established the Islamic Republic of Iran in 1979, said: ‘We shall export our revolution to the whole world. Until the cry, “There is no god but Allah’ resounds over the whole world, there will be struggle. Ignoring the warning signs will only make the price Europe pays even higher. The question is, how much more aggression will Europe tolerate before it recognizes the full extent of the threat?” And Jesus said, in Matthew 24:6, Mark 13:7 and Luke 21:9, 10: “You will be hearing of wars and rumors of war” which Jesus said would come like “birth pains” (Matthew 24:8), increasing in frequency and intensity until a baby is born.

Jesus also said, in Mark 13:33, 35, 37: “Stay on the alert!!” And, I would add, my “six ws” – watching, waiting, working, witnessing for, walking with and worshiping Jesus until He comes.” And, if you are not a believer in Jesus, please agree with God you are a sinner who needs a Savior Who is Jesus (Romans 3:23, 24) and believe He died on a cross for your sins, was buried and raised from the dead (I Corinthians 15:1-4) to forgive all your sins and give you eternal life (John 3:16). And, if you do, “I’ll see you in heaven! Thank You, Jesus! Let us pray.

WALKER!

Good morning, blog readers, from clear and cold (29 degrees) Wisconsin where, on my morning walk, I saw: 3 deer and a plane! Thank You, Jesus!

It’s been a while since I last wrote to you about “earthquakes in various places” which Jesus said, in Matthew 24:7, Mark 13:8 and Luke 21:11, would be one of the “signs” leading up to His return. Now, this might be nothing or something, but, just a little while ago, there was a swarm of six earthquakes (2.5-4.4) near Walker, California (population: 721, as of 2010), a “strong” (6.2) quake in Russia and four “moderate” quakes in Alaska (5.0), Chile (5.0), the Kermadec Islands (5.1) and the Mid-Indian Ridge (5.7). So, stay tuned, dearly beloved, and keep watching, waiting, working, witnessing for, walking with and worshiping Jesus until He comes. And, if you are not a believer in Jesus, here’s what you need to do: agree with God you are a sinner who needs a Savior Who is Jesus (Romans 3:23, 24) and believe He died on a cross for your sins, was buried and raised from the dead (I Corinthians 15:1-4) to forgive all your sins and give you eternal life (John 3:16). And, if you do, I’ll see you in heaven! Blessings with love, Doug (10/24/24)

Watch Out for China!

Good morning, blog readers. from cloudy and cool (56 degrees) Wisconsin where, on my morning walk, I saw: 3 deer and heard the sound of a freight train going through town! Thank You, Jesus!

This headline, from a recent Prophecy News Watch, really grabbed my attention this morning: “World on Brink of 4 Simultaneous Wars!”

The PNW staff reported: “Most Americans have no idea that a war between the United States and China could happen at any moment. Just a few days ago, Chinese President Xi boldly talked about ‘preparation for war’ as he was dressed in military fatigues. On Thursday, Xi Jinping commanded troops to strengthen their preparedness for war while visiting his People’s Liberation Army Rocket Force following last week’s drills of surrounding the sovereign country of Taiwan.

Xi said the military should ‘comprehensively strengthen training and preparation for war, and ensure troops to strengthen have solid combat capabilities; CCTV reported,’ CCTV reported; according to the AFP and reported on Barrons Saturday.

Question: “Why would China need to prepare for war?” Needless to say, nobody is planning to attack China. The truth is that the only reason China would need to prepare for war is if it was planning to invade Taiwan. Because the moment that China invades Taiwan, the U.S. and China will be at war. And, in the recent days, the Chinese have been getting very aggressive with Taiwan … On Monday, Beijing had deployed fighter jets, drones, warships and coast guard vessels to encircle Taiwan – its fourth round of large-scale war games around the democratic island in just over two years. China’s communist leaders have insisted they will not rule out using force to bring Taiwan under Beijing’s control.”

And Jesus said, “You will be hearing of wars and rumors of war” before HIs return (Matthew 24:6, Mark 13:7 and Luke 21:9). And, let me remind you that the Biden/Harris leadership is very weak and vulnerable. And, in case you didn’t know this, every time we have simulated an attack on the USA by China, we lose badly! And, let me also remind you that, according to Revelation 16:12, the so-called “kings from the east” which, I believe, will include China, will march to Armageddon while the remaining weaker nations which, I also believe may, include the USA, simply file a “mild protest” against Russia’s future invasion of Israel to “capture spoil (Ezekiel 38:13).”

Jesus said, in Mark 13: 33, 35, 37: “Keep on the alert!” And, I would add, while “watching, waiting, working, witnessing for, walking with and worshiping Jesus” until He comes. And, if you are not a believer in Jesus, please, while you still have time, agree with God you are a sinner who needs a Savior Who is Jesus (Romans 3:23, 24) and believe He died on a cross for your sins, was buried and raised from the dead (I Corinthians 15:1-4) to forgive all your sins and give you eternal life (John 3:16). And, if you do, I’ll see you in heaven! Blessings with love, Doug (10/22/24)

THREATS from IRAN!

Good morning, blog readers, from clear and cool (52 degrees) Wisconsin where, on my morning walk, I saw: 3 deer and a plane! Thank You, Jesus!

This recent headline caught my eye this morning: “Iran says it will respond ‘decisively,’ if Israel attacks, asks UN to intervene.”

In the article, “Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi warned UN chief Antonio Guterres that Tehran is ready for a ‘decisive and regretful’ response if Israel attacks his country in retaliation to the almost 200 ballistic missiles at Israel on October 1.

Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said last week that Israel ‘will soon respond’ to the missile attack, vowing it will be “precise and deadly.” Iran’s atomic energy agency spokesperson Behrouz Kamalvandi said on Wednesday that the probability of an attack on Iran’s nuclear sites was ‘low’ but any potential damage would be ‘quickly compensated,’ according to Nournews.”

Once again, this is another “sign” of a “rumor of war,” more than likely, turning into a “war,” as Jesus said they would in Matthew 24:6, Mark 13:7 and Luke 21:9, before HIs return. So, stay tuned, dearly beloved in Christ or “on the alert,” as Jesus told His disciples in Mark 13:33, 35, 37 and keep watching, waiting, working, witnessing for, walking with and worshiping Jesus until He comes.

And, if you are not a believer in Jesus, please know you are running out of time to become one. Simply agree with God you are a sinner who needs a Savior Who is Jesus (Romans 3:23, 24) and believe He died on a cross for your sins, was buried and raised from the dead (I Corinthians 15:1-4) to forgive all your sins and give you eternal life (John 3:16). Blessings with love, Doug (10/20/24)

AS in the DAYS of NOAH!

Good morning, blog readers, from clear and cold (42 degrees) Wisconsin where, on my morning walk, I saw: a shooting star! Thank You, Jesus!

Sadly, but prophetically, there was this headline in today’s Prophecy News Watch: “Walz using State Money To Fund LGBT ‘Indoctrination Field Trips’ For Children.”

In the article, Sarah Holiday reported: “Democratic Vice Presidential nominee and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has decided to put some of the state’s Department of Natural Resources funds … roughly $10,500 … toward funding the ‘Queer Unity, Environmental Education, and Recreation for Youth (QUEERY) program. Facilitated by people who identify as transgender, host drag shows, and support LGBT activism among children, QUEERY takes kids ages 11-17 out to nature so that they can explore how queerness manifests itself in the natural world.”

The camp, which shows children ‘how queerness manifests in the natural world,’ is not open to parents.” Hello! Wake up, America! Wake up, church. This is just one more sign Jesus’ coming is near. How near? God only knows for sure. But, Dr. Luke wrote, in Luke 21:28: “But when these things,” that is, the “signs” Jesus gave us in Matthew 24, Mark 13 and Luke 21, “begin to take place, straighten up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.” See also Luke17:26-30.

Yes, dearly beloved in Christ, Jesus is coming. And, as Dr. D. James Kennedy used to ask: “If you were to die today, would you be 100% sure you would go to heaven?” Oftentimes, I hear the response: “I hope so.” But, there’s good news: “You can know so by simply agreeing with God you are a sinner who needs a Savior Who is Jesus (Romans 3:23, 24) and believe He died on a cross for your sins, was buried and raised from the dead (I Corinthians 15:1-4) to forgive all your sins and give you eternal life (John 3:16). Then, watch, wait, work, witness for, walk with and worship Jesus until He comes. Praying I will see you in heaven. Love, Doug (10/19/24)

BARVIEW!

Good morning, blog readers, from cloudy and cool (48 degrees) Wisconsin where, on my morning walk, I saw: a deer, a dog, a “Flight for Life” helicopter and a police officer! Thank You, Jesus!

Now, it’s been awhile since I reported on “earthquakes in different places” which Jesus said would occur before His return in Matthew 24:7, Mark 13:8 and Luke 21:11. So, today, on the USGS website, I found two earthquakes which bear watching: a “minor” (3.1) earthquake, 283 KM SW of Tofino, Canada on Vancouver Island and a “moderate” (5.0) earthquake, 117 KM, WNW of Barview, Oregon. Stay tuned! And, if you are a believer in Jesus, keep watching, waiting, working, witnessing for, walking with and worshiping Jesus until He comes.

And, if you are not a believer in Jesus, why not become one today and secure a place in heaven for eternity by agreeing with God you are a sinner who needs a Savior Who is Jesus (Romans 3:23, 24) and believing He died on a cross for your sins, was buried and raised from the dead (I Corinthians 15:1-4) to forgive all your sins and give you eternal life (John 3:16). Love, Doug (10/18/24)

HERE COMES the SUN!

Good morning, blog readers, from clear and cool (48 degrees) Wisconsin where, on my morning walk, I saw: 2 deer, a plane and heard the “hoot” of an owl! Thank You, Jesus!

If you’re like me, when you hear the above title, you think of a song by the same name by George Harrison of the Beatle’s. I think of Luke 21:25, 26 where the good doctor wrote: “And there will be signs in the sun and the moon and the stars, and upon the earth dismay among nations, in perplexity at the roaring of the sea and the waves, men fainting from fear and the expectation of the things which are coming upon the world; for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.”

This above Scripture from made me think of this recent headline from Live Science: “Scientists finally confirm that solar maximum is well underway – and the worst could still be to come.” Harry Baker reported: “A surprise announcement from scientists involved in monitoring the solar cycle has finally confirmed that the sun’s most active and dangerous phase – solar maximum – is well underway, and could continue for at least a year. … While many experts suspected that this was the case, the official confirmation comes as a big surprise given that researchers normally hold off on making such announcements until after this active phase starts winding down. Elsayed Talaat, director of space weather operations at NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration), said during the announcement on Tuesday (October 15): “Solar activity could still increase in the coming months, bringing more vibrant aurora displays and potentially damaging solar storms to Earth, he added.” Remember: Jesus said, in Matthew 24:8, the “signs” leading up to His return would increase in frequency and intensity like “birth pains.” So, stay tuned, dearly beloved in Christ, and keep watching, waiting, working, witnessing for, walking with and worshiping Jesus until He comes.

And, if you are still not a believer in Jesus, please agree with God you are a sinner who needs a Savior Who is Jesus (Romans 3:23, 24) and believe He died on a cross for your sins, was buried and raised from the dead (I Corinthians 15:1-4) to forgive all your sins and give you eternal life (John 3:16). And, if you do, I’ll see you in heaven! Love in Christ, Doug (10/17/24)

UNDECLARED CHEMICAL ELEMENTS in COVID VACCINES!

Good morning, blog readers, from sunny and cold (48 degrees) Wisconsin where, on my morning walk, I saw: 2 deer, 2 planes, a dog and got a “wave” from a truck driver! Thank You, Jesus!

This article, from the October 15, 2024 “Defender,” sadly caught my eye: “55 Undeclared Elements, including Heavy Metals, Found in COVID VACCINES!”

In the article, Brenda Baletti, PhD. wrote: “Argentine scientists identified 55 chemical elements – not listed on package inserts – in a study of six major COVID-19 vaccine brands. The research, which confirms previous studies, sparked calls for transparency and further investigation.

The samples also contained 11 of the 15 lanthanides, or rare earth elements, that are heavier, silvery metals often used in manufacturing. These chemical elements, which include lanthanum, cerium and gadolinium are lesser known to the public than heavy metals but have also been shown to be highly toxic.

“The detection of multiple undeclared toxic elements, including heavy metals and lanthanides, in COVID-19 vaccines raises a dual and multiplied concern for human health,” James Lyons-Weiler, Ph.D., a member of the Journal’s editorial board who was not involved in the research, told The Defender: “Individually, these chemicals are known to cause neurological, cardiovascular and immunological damage. Together, their synergistic toxicity could exacerbate these risks far beyond what regulators and manufacturers have disclosed or studied,” Lyons-Weiler added.” And, as I have said before: “So much for “safe and effective” vaccines and what about: “Do no harm!” Oh, and one more way to reduce the world population which the so-called “technocrats” are shooting for.

Another sign Jesus is coming to take us out of this mess and bring us to our heavenly home (John 14:1-6). I can’t wait! But, wait I must and so must you. And, if you are not a believer in Jesus, you can become one right now by agreeing with God you are a sinner who needs a Savior Who is Jesus (Romans 3:23, 24) and believing He died on a cross for your sins, was buried and raised from the dead (I Corinthians 15:1-4) to forgive all your sins and give you eternal life (John 3:16). Then, watch, wait, work, witness for, walk with and worship Jesus until He comes. Love, Doug (10/16/24)

Happy birthday, brother John!

EZEKIEL 38-39? ISAIAH 17:1?

Good morning, blog readers, from cloudy and cold (38 degrees) Wisconsin where, on my morning walk, I did not see any of God’s creatures, but did hear the horn of a train! Thank You, Jesus!

This headline, from today’s Prophecy News Watch, got my attention: “Alliance of the End? Turkey asks Russia, Syria and Iran to Unite Against Israel.”

Michael Snyder, of the End of the American Dream, wrote: “War is in the air, and we are seeing some very interesting alliances being formed. As you will see below, the Russians and the Chinese continue to strengthen ties with one another, and this is something that I have been anticipating for many years. Meanwhile, the president of Turkey is calling for a very alarming alliance of military powers in the Middle East. On Saturday, he told the press that he is urging ‘Russia, Iran and Syria’ to form a united front to protect ‘Syria’s territorial integrity … Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan told local media on Saturday that Russia, Iran and Syria should do more to protect Syria’s territorial integrity’ … It is essential that Russia, Iran and Syria take more effective measures against this situation, which poses the greatest threat to Syria’s territorial integrity.’ Erdogan said when asked about the recent alleged Israeli airstrike in the nation’s capital, Damascus. Obviously, Iran and Syria are already working closely together.” To be continued, Lord willing, tomorrow. So, “what’s the big deal,” you might ask?” Answer: “Dust off your Bibles and read passages like Isaiah Psalm 83, Isaiah17:1, Ezekiel 38, 39 and Revelation 16:12 which, I believe, is speaks of “China” as one of the “kings from the east.” Lord willing, I’ll give you more updates along the way.

So, stay tuned, dearly beloved in Christ, and keep watching, waiting, working, witnessing for and walking with Jesus until He comes. And, if you are not a believer in Jesus, simply agree with God you are a sinner who needs a Savior Who is Jesus (Romans 3:23, 24) and believe He died on a cross for your sins, was buried and raised from the dead (I Corinthians 15:1-4) to forgive all your sins and give you eternal life (John 3:16). And, if you do, I’ll see you in heaven! Love, Doug (10/15/24)
