Biblical Prophecy…Today’s News…..

Israel Report – Saturday 10 February 2024
His Wonders to Perform….
In recent times the Atheists and Agnostics amongst us were to be found loudly defending their position using human plight and misery as a blatant proof that no loving and caring creator could possibility exist.
To have such a belief apparently required a “blind faith”
In 2020 it suddenly became quite evident that a malevolent evil was enveloping the planet such as had not been experienced before.
A group of powerful and wealthy individuals were setting about implementing plans to drastically reduce the human populace in an attempt to save the world from an environmental disaster, to begin a world war starting in Ukraine.
Patents were filed for subcutaneous data storage devices to be given to the few survivors.
Sure, the warnings were out there if one looked for them. The Georgia Guidestones [since destroyed]for instance, which published a desire for a final humanity to be under 500 million souls.
Not many took that pledge too seriously until three letter non-governmental agencies began speaking in the same manner, supported by wealthy Patricians and billionaire computer geeks.
As the dark cloud of tyranny crept over the nations, closed borders, travel restrictions, medical mandates, police brutality, political malfeasance, masking, social distancing, an all-consuming propaganda and censorship program was installed internationally in an effort to have people made comfortable as their human rights and dignity were stripped away.
Today, the unbelieving, now aware of the evil put upon them, have begun to see that a wickedness of unimaginable depth had visited their lives and changed them forever.
It comes as an enormous shock to those who view the world through the legacy media that persons actually do exist who see no problem with planning and executing those plans to murder billions of people who were told that to refuse their solution was to put humanity in danger.
As excessive sudden death numbers and grave illnesses are arising globally amongst those who followed orders, large numbers of drowsing humanity are rubbing their eyes as they slowly awake.
No longer do you find a universal stubborn resistance to spiritual realities amongst such an expanding group.
“Isn’t this all spoken about somewhere”? they ask. “Don’t some religious writings alert us to these things to come”?
God works in mysterious ways His wonders to perform. One third of the Bible is dedicated to the foretelling of the future – and no other religion offers such insight.
The 100% accuracy of biblical prophecy is now irrefutable, and only the wilfully blind could dismiss such a claim
Couple this with the explosion of a rapidly expanding conflagration in the lands of the Bible and the need for a “blind faith” no longer exists – the Gospel of Jesus Christ, offering deliverance from the divine wrath to soon come, aligns perfectly with the events of our day!
This is no longer an objectivedevelopment – it is highly subjective – this has affected practically every earthly inhabitant and nothing concerns homo-sapiens more than their own personal well-being.
Hopefully once these individuals awake, they will stay that way?
Misguided Compassion…..
Astoundingly, many who profess to be Christians are today out on the streets waving Arab Palestinian flags and wearing terrorist Kaffiya scarves.
They support the chanting of such atrocious tropes as “To the River to the Sea – Palestine shall be free”. “Gas the Jews”.
Palestine [so-called[ IS free!! To a degree unknown in the Arab and Islamic world of today.
Herein lies the outcome of the neglect shown toward the teaching of Biblical prophecy .
No matter whether you agree with the actions of the present day Israeli government to attempt to destroy their murderous enemies, or if the HAMAS attack on October 7 was a set-up or not – what has occurred is all spelt out clearly as events that must come to pass in the latter days – as Israel’s God brings them, rather painfully, into a position of finally receiving the Lord Jesus Christ as their Saviour.
It may seem distasteful and violent to the squeamish – but it is our creators plan nevertheless. Revelation 6:7-8 says that “over a fourth of the earth” will perish as the result of the opening of the judgement Seals.
A large proportion of Christianity has now gone WOKE, limp-wristed and emotionally overwrought as God’s wrath is poured out on the unbelieving haters of global Jewry.
A head’s up; It is about to get VERY much worse and the anger against Israel will rise to fever pitch in the weeks and months ahead.
Instead of provoking them to jealousy as scripture demands – much of the church is now found supporting Israel’s raging enemies in their battle to annihilate them.
The thought as to how these people will fare at the Judgement Seat of Christ is alarming to say the least.
Have they not observed the outcome of similar actions over the centuries? Do they believe they will be exonerated because of their misguided compassion?
They will not.
It is a treachery toward biblical truth, and when brought down to its essence labels God an untrustworthy liar.
There will NEVER be an Arab Palestinian state stretching from the Jordan to the Mediterranean Sea – and anyone who believes that it is God’s will that even a fraction of Israel’s land should be divided amongst others in any way, are sorely and tragically mistaken.
Cognitive Dissonance or simply plain Stupidocracy?
One of the chieftains of the one world order has warned Israel that rejecting a two-state solution between Israel and Palestine is a threat to world peace, but he didn’t warn the Arab nations of the same outcome.
In late January 2024, United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres told a meeting of the UN Security Council that the right of the [so-called] Palestinian people “to build their own fully independent state must be recognized by all, and a refusal to accept the two-state solution by any party must be firmly rejected.”
Guterres, however, completely ignored the fact that Hamas, Hezbollah, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Turkey, Jordan, Yemen, and other Arab states also reject a two-state solution.
Israel’s rejection of the two-state solution will indefinitely prolong a conflict that is threatening global peace and emboldening extremists everywhere.
Guterres said that the alternative to a one-state solution “with such a large number of Palestinians inside without any real sense of freedom, rights and dignity … will be inconceivable,” and that “the risks of regional escalation of the conflict are now becoming a reality,” pointing to Lebanon, Yemen, Syria, Iraq and Pakistan.
He urged all parties “to step back from the brink and to consider the horrendous costs of a wider war.”
Turkey’s president Recep Tayyip Erdogan has said that Hamas was not a terrorist group, but a liberation group fighting to protect “Palestinian” land.
Iran’s president Ebrahim Raisi [a.k.a “The Hangman”] told a meeting of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation in November 2023 that Iran rejects the two-state solution.
Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman; “We are certain the only cause for peace is the end of the Israeli occupation and illegal settlements, and restoration of the established rights of the Palestinian people and the establishment of the Palestinian state on 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital.”
Yet the Biden administration continues to call for something no one involved actually wants!!
Cognitive Dissonance or simply plain stupidocracy ? Maybe both?
John 3:16 “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.”
What “world”? The whole world of humankind?
No, not at all. It was and is only the world of the Elect, the world of “whoever believes in Him”. It is definitely not the world of the children of the Devil!
It is definitely not the world of the enemies of Christ, the deniers of Christ, the blasphemers of Christ and His Father, the rejecters of the truths of God. It is definitely not the world of those who curse Abraham and his seed by the flesh, the children of Israel.

Israel– Gaza Update……..
Arab Palestinian fighters are continuing to infiltrate previously cleared areas in the northern Gaza Strip. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) Unit 414 Intelligence Battalion (assigned to the 143rd Division) directed a drone strike on February 8 targeting a Palestinian militia squad that was attempting to “transfer technological systems” to Hamas in the northern Gaza Strip.
Unit 414 previously encountered Palestinian fighters that were attempting to establish a Hamas reconnaissance position in Beit Hanoun on February 6.
It was assessed in late January that Hamas and other Palestinian militias are likely in the early stages of reconstituting their military capabilities in the northern Gaza Strip.
The IDF 401st Brigade (assigned to the 162nd Division) killed 10 Palestinian fighters in several clashes in the northern Gaza Strip on February 8.
Palestinian militias, including Hamas, claimed attacks targeting Israeli forces in Gaza City using small arms and rocket-propelled grenades (RPG).[5] A Palestinian activist reported clashes between Israeli forces and Palestinian fighters in several neighbourhoods of western Gaza City, including Sheikh Ijlin and Tal al Hawa, on February 8.
The IDF 98th Division continued to conduct clearing operations in Khan Younis on February 8.
The 35th Commando Brigade (assigned to the 98th Division) “increased attacks” in western Khan Younis, according to the IDF. Israeli forces clashed with Palestinian fighters, raided military facilities, and located weapons, including long-range rockets.
Palestinian militias have been conducting a deliberate defence against Israeli ground operations in western Khan Younis since the IDF began operating there on January 22.
The IDF 35th Paratroopers Brigades (assigned to the 98th Division) and 84th Givati Brigade (assigned to the 162nd Division) killed over 20 Palestinian fighters during attacks in Khan Younis on February 8.
Several militias aligned with Hamas in the war attacked Israeli forces in southern and western Khan Younis.
The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine–General Command (PFLP-GC) reported that its fighters clashed with Israeli forces in Khan Younis.]
The PFLP-GC is a Palestinian faction based primarily in Syria. The faction receives support from Iran and has cooperated with other elements of Iran’s “Axis of Resistance,” such as Lebanese Hezbollah and the Syrian regime.
It has not previously been observed that the PFLP-GC attacking the IDF in the Gaza Strip since the war began. This is a new development.
The IDF published on February 8 footage of a conversation with a detained commander in Hamas’ elite Nukhba unit.
The commander Muhammad Nasser Suleiman Abu Namer, who the IDF detained in Khan Younis, told Israeli Shin Bet officers that he and two other Hamas fighters “didn’t want to fight” and turned themselves over to Israeli forces approaching them in tunnels in Khan Younis.
Namer urged other Palestinian fighters to surrender in the footage. Namer has been a member of Hamas since 2009.
The Palestinian Mujahideen Movement fired rockets from the Gaza Strip targeting 13 locations in southern Israel, as the group commemorated the anniversary of its launch on February 8.
The group is an Arab Palestinian faction aligned with Hamas and has expressed close ties with Iran.
The group announced on February 8 that Israeli airstrikes killed five of its military council members.
Israeli Army Radio reported that Palestinian fighters fired the rockets from the northern and central Gaza Strip.
The launches demonstrate that Palestinian militias in the northern and central Gaza Strip retain some ability to fire rockets into Israel, despite Israeli operations.
Israel has reportedly proposed to the United States exiling the leader of Hamas in the Gaza Strip, Yahya Sinwar, in exchange for Hamas returning all hostages and an end to the Hamas government in the Gaza Strip, according to six unspecified Israeli officials.
A senior adviser to the Israeli government said that the idea of exiling Sinwar and other Hamas leaders has been “on the table” since November 2023
Developing……
Lebanon – Hezbollah
Iranian-backed militias, including Lebanese Hezbollah, conducted 10 attacks from southern Lebanon into northern Israel on February 8.
Hezbollah launched rockets at an IDF base on Mount Meron that hosts air traffic control, radar, surveillance, communications, and jamming facilities.
Hezbollah said that it conducted the rocket attack ”in retaliation” for an Israeli strike on a car in Nabatiyeh, southern Lebanon.
They had previously targeted the Meron Base in response to Israeli strikes in Lebanon and not as part of its regular attack campaign along the border.
Hezbollah fighters also targeted the headquarters of the IDF 769th Eastern Brigade (assigned to the 91st Galilee Division) in Kiryat Shmona, seriously injuring one IDF soldier.
The IDF Northern Command Commander Major General Uri Gordin visited Israeli forces in training on February 8.
The IDF 36th Division, which operated in the northern Gaza Strip in 2023, is part of the force training to increase ”readiness for the operational plans against the northern enemy in defence and attack.”
The IDF began this week a series of intensive platoon- and battalion-level training focused on combat in densely populated neighborhoods in winter conditions.
IRAQ
Iranian-backed Iraqi actors are continuing to exploit US military operations in Iraq to amplify pressure on the Mohammad Shia al Sudani [pictured above] administration to expel US forces from Iraq.
The United States killed on February 7 a senior Kataib Hezbollah commander who planned and participated in attacks targeting US forces in the region.
The Iraqi Parliament announced that it will convene on February 10 to discuss “attacks on Iraqi sovereignty.”
An Iranian-backed Badr Organization member stated that Parliament will meet to draft a law requiring the Iraqi federal government to implement the January 2020 non-binding parliamentary resolution to expel “all foreign forces” from Iraq “by the end of next June.”
It is unclear whether this parliamentarian was referring to June 2024 or 2025.
Iranian-backed Iraqi terrorists are trying to rally Iraqi citizens against the United States.
Harakat Hezbollah al Nujaba [flag above] released a statement on February 8 calling on the Iraqi people to help the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) and “men of resistance” confront the United States.
Kataib Sayyid al Shuhada similarly called on Iraqis to “join” and “rally around” Iraqi militias that are “resisting” the United States on February 8.
These militia calls follow a large demonstration against the United States in front of the US Embassy in Baghdad immediately after the US strike that killed a senior Kataib Hezbollah commander in January.
The situation in Iraq is worsening by the day now.
IRAN
Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei discussed the Israel-Hamas war in a meeting with Iranian regime officials and representatives from other Muslim countries on February 7.
Khamenei claimed that the war illustrates that the current world order is “invalid and unsustainable and will disappear.”
He claimed that the withdrawal of pro-Western forces “from this issue” is the solution to the war and reiterated his months-long call for all countries to sever economic and political relations with Israel.
YEMEN
The United States conducted self-defence strikes targeting Houthi missile sites in Yemen on February 7.
US forces struck two Houthi anti-ship cruise missiles and a land attack cruise missile.
US CENTCOM said that the Houthi missiles were prepared to launch and posed an ”imminent” threat to US ships and merchant vessels in the Red Sea.
Houthi and other regional sources reported that US forces targeted missile sites in al Salif and Ras Issa in Hudaydah Governorate and al Qutaynat in Sadaa Governorate.
Houthi spokesperson Mohammed Abdul Salem [pictured above] said that the strikes will not deter the Houthis from conducting further attacks.
UKRAINE
Reports in the Greek media suggest that the country is preparing to transfer to Ukraine S-300 long-range surface-to-air missile systems.
Unusually for a NATO member, Greece has fairly significant stocks of Soviet-era and Russian-made air defence systems, some of which it has now apparently agreed to hand over to Kyiv.
The Greek newspaper Kathimerini reported the news of the apparent transfer, which could also eventually include other old Soviet-made equipment from Greek stocks, including examples of the Tor and Osa short-range mobile air defence systems, and potentially also ZU-23-2 anti-aircraft guns.
The newspaper reports that Greece gave the go-ahead for the S-300 transfer as a condition of the United States approving the sale of F-35A stealth fighters to Athens.
Last Friday, it was confirmed that the U.S. State Department had approved the possible Foreign Military Sale to Greece of 40 F-35s plus related equipment for an estimated cost of $8.6 billion.
Ukraine began the current conflict with an estimated 250 launchers for the S-300P (SA-10 Grumble) long-range surface-to-air missile. These have been depleted through Russian attacks but, just as crucially, stocks of the missiles that arm them have reportedly been running very low for some time now.
A new report says Ukrainian President Zelenskyy has purchased a $17 million dollar apartment in Dubai where he’ll live after leaving Ukraine.
Viktor Medvedchuk published an article claiming Ukraine’s corrupt leader is killing an entire generation of Ukrainians in order to support his corrupt regime.
According to an unknown official, the weapons sent to Kiev have been found in the possession of Mexican cartels and Hamas … some of the weaponry that Western nations have been supplying to Ukraine has been found in the hands of armed organizations from the Middle East and Mexican drug cartels.
RUSSIA
A full-scale war between Russia and NATO would leave Moscow with no choice but to deploy its nuclear assets, former president Dmitry Medvedev has said.
He reiterated, however, that his country is not seeking a conflict with the US-led military bloc.
Writing on Telegram on Wednesday, Medvedev, who now serves as deputy chairman of Russia’s Security Council, pushed back against statements by numerous Western leaders urging their countries to prepare for a potential conflict with Moscow.
Strike in Baghdad kills militia leader linked to attack on US troops…
The drone strike is certain to inflame relations between Washington and Baghdad
BAGHDAD — A U.S. drone strike blew up a car in the Iraqi capital Wednesday night, killing a high-ranking commander of the powerful Kataib Hezbollah militia who is responsible for “directly planning and participating in attacks” on American troops in the region, the U.S. military said Wednesday.
The precision blast hit a main thoroughfare in the Mashtal neighbourhood in eastern Baghdad, attracting a crowd as emergency teams picked through the wreckage. It came amid roiling tensions in the region, and will likely further anger Iraqi government leaders, who U.S. officials said were not notified in advance of the strike.
Security forces closed off the heavily guarded Green Zone, where a number of diplomatic compounds are located, and there were concerns about social media postings urging protesters to storm the U.S. embassy.
There were conflicting reports on the number of those killed, with U.S. officials saying the initial assessment was one, and saying there were no civilians hurt or killed.
But two officials with Iran-backed militias in Iraq said that three died, including Wissam Muhammad Sabir Al-Saadi, known as Abu Baqir Al-Saadi, the commander in charge of Kataib Hezbollah’s operations in Syria. Kataeb Hezbollah later announced his death “following the bombing of the American occupation forces” in a statement.
Report Questions Biden‘s Memory…………
President Biden’s memory appears to have “significant limitations,” the special counsel investigating his handling of classified documents said in a detailed report today.
Special counsel Robert Hur, who was appointed to be a federal prosecutor by then-President Trump, said he won’t prosecute Biden, despite finding that he “willfully” retained classified information, posing “serious risks to national security.”
But investigators’ descriptions of their interviews with the president could still cause him serious political damage.
“He did not remember when he was vice president, forgetting on the first day of the interview when his term ended (‘if it was 2013 — when did I stop being Vice President?’), and forgetting on the second day of the interview when his term began” (‘in 2009, am I still Vice President?’),” the report says.
“He did not remember, even within several years, when his son Beau died,” it continues. “And his memory appeared hazy when describing the Afghanistan debate that was once so important to him.“
The report says that’s part of the reason investigators decided not to charge Biden — because “at trial, Mr. Biden would likely present himself to a jury, as he did during our interview of him, as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.”
[And a man with his finger on the nuclear codes?]
