ISRAEL REPORT
Thanks again to Mike Claydon for his usual excellent Israel Report. My readers appreciate the great accuracy and the detail included as they follow these last days prophesied events overtaking His chosen people. Whatever you, my valued readers. erroneously think, through errant teaching, Israel is still God’s Nation however unbelieving they still are, and his Son will return very soon to take His Church to meet Him in the air, before returning to Jerusalem to rule the earth. Satan knows his time is short. So keep the Faith as Jude exhorts:
Jude 1:3-5
Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ. I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not.

Biblical Prophecy…Today’s News…..

Gesture Eggs and Tick Buns…..
To any serious biblical scholar Easter is simply NOT a genuine Christian festival and all the secular merchandise is really about fertility, bunny rabbits, chocolate and raisin buns.
It is a Pagan festival Christianised by Rome. Let’s be honest.
Passover, the genuine article, which Easter purports to represent in some way, rarely falls on the same days, and this year that will occur later in April.
Countless churchgoers this Sunday will nevertheless find an Easter egg awaiting them on their pew, with egg hunts for the children after the service.
This year the resurrection of Christ has been further distorted in northern climes by having the Cross replaced by a tick on the Hot “Cross” buns, and the Cadbury Easter eggs being renamed “Gesture Eggs“
Some Christians are outraged by this piracy against their “festival” …. yet after some consideration we reckon the further “Easter” traditions can be removed from any notion that they celebrate the death and resurrection of our Lord is a very good thing.
This world, which is now rapidly passing away, is simply eradicating any trace of a Christian foundation albeit one long ago abandoned.
Nevertheless, the fact remains that no one can obtain eternal life unless that comes through Jesus Christ of Nazareth.
Although TRUTH has many enemies today, it remains the TRUTH.
The Bible is historically and scientifically 100% accurate and has never been successfully refuted. One third of this amazing book is predictive prophecy, mostly now fulfilled to the letter – something no scripture from any other religion on earth can claim.
Logically, if all that has been fulfilled so far satisfies the requirement of total accuracy, as is the case, then surely the few now left will also accomplish that task perfectly.
It would pay any thinking person to investigate those things that God has promised to bring upon this earth in these days before joining the ranks of those who discard vital truth to their spiritual peril.
Many great minds have set out to disprove the Bible over the running centuries only to discover to their horror that it contains the vital truth of the human condition and reveals the eternal penalty for ignoring it.
Do not be found among those discarding the God of the Bible – an eternal existence of weeping and gnashing of teeth [Matthew 24;51] sounds beyond unbearable?
Seek the Lord whilst He may be found. Today is the day of salvation.
Our Day would be Instantly Recognized by Jeremiah….
There is nothing new under the sun that’s for sure.
In Jeremiah’s day during the fourth year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of Judah, he had his scribe Baruch write a message from the Lord in a scroll.
Jeremiah had been silenced and imprisoned so he sent Baruch to read his words to those assembled in the temple on a fast day.
He did this so as to warn the people of Judah of the coming judgement upon them in the form of the Babylonians should they not see the wickedness of their ways and repent.
They were afraid as they heard the words of coming catastrophe and the elders decided to move to a higher authority and inform the king.
The kings princes advised the whistleblowers Baruch and Jeremiah to go into hiding as the prophecy was read to the king.
Jehoiakim, found sitting in his winter house in front of a roaring fire was OUTRAGED. When just three or four pages were read he could no longer contain his fury and took a penknife and shredded the document and threw it into the glowing embers where it was consumed.
The immediate reaction from the king and his authorities was as it is today – no fear, trepidation, or the rending of clothes in anguish, no, just simple arrogance and retribution.
He had been advised not to do such a thing – but he would not hear them – and commanded that Baruch and Jeremiah be arrested.
Not taking this as a satisfactory answer the Lord Himself told Jeremiah to take another book, write down those words found in the previous incinerated document and read it afresh to the king.
To no avail.
Thousands of concerned global citizens have tried in vain in the last few years to warn those in authority of the dangers being foisted upon us by them in various ways – only to be treated much as Jeremiah was in his day. [Jeremiah chapter 36]
Red Heifer Update
As Israel imports cows from Texas to hold and fulfill ancient biblical prophecy, reports emerge of a massive altar being prepared in Jerusalem.
This ancient ritual, dating back to the time of Moses and steeped in religious significance, has captured the attention of observers worldwide.
According to Jewish tradition, a perfectly red heifer is required for a ritual purification necessary for the construction of a Third Temple in Jerusalem.
The construction of this temple is a fervent desire for many Jewish groups, who believe it will lead to the arrival of Messiah.
However, the proposed location for this temple, the Temple Mount in Jerusalem’s Old City, is also home to the Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Dome of the Rock shrine, two of the holiest sites in Islam.
This convergence of religious significance has long been a flashpoint for conflict between Israelis and Arab Palestinians.
Since the era of Moses, only nine red heifers have been sacrificed — a testament to the rarity and significance of the event.
Now, on the precipice of a purported tenth sacrifice, attention converges on Israel, where preparations for the ceremonial offering have reportedly reached an advanced stage.
In September 2022, five red heifers were transported from the state of Texas to the land of Israel. Though one heifer has since been disqualified, the remaining four stand as candidates for the sacrifice, meticulously groomed and safeguarded for their role.
Recent reports indicate the construction of a “massive altar”[pictured above] in Israel, purportedly in anticipation of the forthcoming sacrifice — an indication of the seriousness with which the endeavour is being pursued.
The location for the ritual holds particular significance, with the ceremony slated to take place on the Mount of Olives, overlooking the historic site of the Temple Mount.
Speculation regarding the timing of the sacrifice has intensified in recent weeks, with suggestions that it could coincide with the upcoming Passover celebrations. Amidst whispers of potential dates and meticulous preparations, Israel braces for the repercussions of this historic event.
Yet, against the backdrop of religious fervour and ancient tradition, geopolitical tensions loom large.
Hamas and Hizbollah have openly acknowledged the symbolic significance of the red heifers, citing them as a catalyst for the recent hostilities against Israel.
The prospect of their sacrifice threatens to exacerbate existing tensions, raising concerns over potential unrest and international ramifications.
Developing…..
The Embryo of Revelation 13….
While many around us are in hysterics about a coming regular solar eclipse, and a maritime accident in Baltimore, the secretive politicians of Australia snuck though a bill which will bring into being the need for a “trusted” digital ID for every Australian.
Australia, the Canary in the coalmine, is now about to live under a legislated national digital identity regime with the federal government winning support for its bill in the Senate after approving 43 amendments.
The Digital ID Bill 2023 passed the Senate on Wednesday night by 33 votes to 26 with the support of the treacherous Greens and the deluded cross-bench.
It will now be returned to the lower house to be ticked off before passing into law.
The bill was passed with 27 government amendments and 16 Greens amendments, apparently focused on ensuring the digital ID scheme is fully voluntary, has enhanced privacy protections, and speeds up the expansion of the scheme to the private sector.
The economy-wide digital identity scheme will now be up and running by midway through this year, a significant expansion of the existing government program which has now been running for nearly a decade.
Greens digital rights spokesperson David Shoebridge welcomed the passage of the legislation, saying that amendments introduced a “raft of important extra protections”.
“Of course you shouldn’t be forced to use a digital ID and the bill now reflects this,” Shoebridge posted on X.
“We also inserted protections for personal data, especially biometric data, and built in greater accessibility measures and a redress scheme. These are real positives”.
“The final Digital ID Bill means people no longer have to share personal data and information like their birth certificate or passport every time they want to access a new service, and all in a far more secure, privacy-focused scheme with genuine protections. That’s a win.”
A key change from the government’s draft bill is the phased introduced time-frame of opening up the digital ID scheme to private sector organizations such as banks, which has been reduced from four years to two.
The amendments also introduced a reporting framework for law enforcement agencies and enforcement bodies which access or try to access information held through the digital ID scheme, and assurances that deactivated digital IDs cannot be reactivated without the consent of the individual.
The Greens amendments which won the support of the Senate focused on ensuring accessibility within the scheme and that it will remain truly voluntary.
These included that bodies participating in the scheme must still allow the use of paper documents to verify the identity of individuals who wish to do that.
The passage of the Digital ID bill has been welcomed by the Australian Banking Association (ABA)
Yet recently, past experience shows vividly that when a government makes these guarantees they are rarely, if ever, honoured.
Just try and access the aged pension, disability payments, Medicare, and any other government assistance and see how far you make it without a “trusted” digital ID when all this passes into law.
We were promised that in no way would the COVID19 jabs be made mandatory – then it became impossible to be employed, enter certain public venues, or maintain our rights as a free citizen of Australia.
If that isn’t “mandatory” then what is?
Nothing will now be hid from government scrutiny. The banking industry is to follow the government into this cashless digital nightmare and a global digital currency is not far away.
In effect, if you do not comply with this new legislation your ability to buy, sell and survive will be whittled away until you wake up one day very soon as a virtual slave to what looks very much like the embryo of the Revelation 13 beast system?
Israeli Strikes Lebanon as Cross–Border Violence Soars………
A series of Israeli airstrikes in southern Lebanon killed 16 people and a barrage of rockets fired by the militant group Hezbollah killed one Israeli man, making Wednesday the deadliest day in more than five months of fighting along the border.
Since the outbreak of the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza, concerns have grown about further escalation along the Israel-Lebanon frontier.
Tens of thousands of people on both sides have been displaced by the violence.
Wednesday’s Israeli strikes targeted a Lebanese Sunni political and militant organization, the Islamic Group, which has joined the Shiite militant group Hezbollah in its fight against Israel.
Two Hezbollah fighters were also killed, as was a local commander with the Amal Movement, another Shiite group.
Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant has hinted at Israel’s purported overnight airstrike in Syria, affirming the military’s intention to expand the campaign against Hezbollah and increase the rate of attacks in the north.
Speaking after an evaluation at the army Northern Command in Safed on Friday, Gallant asserted, “Israel is transitioning from defence to pursuit of Hezbollah.”
“We will reach wherever the organisation operates, in Beirut, Damascus, and beyond,” the Times of Israeli cited him as saying.
Israeli strike kills Hezbollah official in Lebanon………
A military security source said an Israeli strike on Friday on a car in south Lebanon killed a Hezbollah official.
Lebanon’s state-run National News Agency (NNA) said “a raid by an enemy drone targeted a car” in Bazuriyeh in south Lebanon’s Tyre district, reporting at least one dead.
The army security source, requesting anonymity as they were not authorised to speak to the media, said the person killed was “a Hezbollah official”.
Israeli strike kills 42 Syrian soldiers near Aleppo, as Netanyahu prepares Rafah assault.………..
While Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announces plans for an assault on the southern Gaza city of Rafah, Israel has launched its largest attack on Syria since 7 October.
An Israeli air strike on Syria’s Aleppo province killed at least 42 Syrian soldiers on Friday, according to a war monitor, who added that Hezbollah weapons depots were located in the area.
The Israeli attack targeted an area “near rocket depots belonging to Lebanese group Hezbollah”, said the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which has an extensive network of sources in Syria.
“Forty-two killed, including six from Lebanon’s Hezbollah group” and 36 Syrian soldiers in the Israeli strike targeting a Hezbollah weapons depot, said the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
It also said that the targeted area is near Aleppo’s international airport.
Syrian state news agency SANA said the pre-dawn strike killed and wounded civilians, as well as military personnel.
The attack has heightened fears of Israel’s war on Gaza, leading to a wider regional war.
Attack on Maghazi Area in Central Gaza…….
Eight people were killed and an unknown number injured during an Israeli attack on a house in the Maghazi refugee camp in central Gaza on Thursday.
Israel is expanding a buffer zone in Gaza adjacent to the border fence, significantly enlarging the area declared by the army as a Palestinian no-go zone before the war, Haaretz reported on Thursday.
The Israeli newspaper said a project director has been appointed by the army to oversee the expansion.
Journalist Muhammad Abu Sakhil of Gaza’s al-Quds Radio [pictured above] has been shot and killed by Israeli forces near al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, Al Jazeera Arabic reported on Friday.
Early Talks to Fund a Peacekeeping Force in Gaza……
U.S. officials have been clear the plan would not include American boots on the ground.
Biden administration officials are in preliminary “conversations” about options for stabilizing post-war Gaza, including a proposal for the Pentagon to help fund either a multinational force or an Arab Palestinian peacekeeping [?] team.
The options being considered would not involve U.S. troops on the ground, according to two Defence Department officials and two other U.S. officials, all granted anonymity to discuss the closed-door diplomatic and military negotiations.
Instead, DOD funding would go toward the needs of the security force and complement assistance from other countries.
Asked for comment, a senior administration official said “we are working with partners on various scenarios for interim governance and security structures in Gaza once the crisis recedes,” declining to detail specifics.
“We’ve had a number of conversations with both the Israelis and our partners about key elements for the day after in Gaza when the time is right.”
It could be weeks or months before Washington and its partners approve any plan, especially since regional players want to see a commitment to a two-state solution before seriously engaging with the options.
There are also questions about the viability of training a potential Arab Palestinian-led force in time to maintain order in Gaza, which has been decimated after five months of fighting.
And Israel is reluctant to have these conversations until it defeats Hamas militarily and secures the release of hostages being held illegally by the terrorist group.
Some officials within the Israeli government have called for Israel to occupy Gaza after the war, a proposal the U.S. opposes.
“Israel is the long pole in the tent,” said one of the DOD officials, noting that Israel “has their hands full with other things.”
“It would be one thing if the administration and the Israeli government were aligned on the way ahead, but that is just not the case,” said the official.
The talks include the White House, Pentagon, State Department and their foreign counterparts about what a potential day-after security force would look like, the four officials confirmed.
The discussions indicate such forces remain serious and viable options for what follows Israel’s retaliation and victory against Hamas.
Hamas Praises Iran‘s Role in ‘World War‘ over Gaza ……….
The heads of the two leading Arab Palestinian groups at war with Israel have praised Iran’s role in an increasingly international conflict over the Gaza Strip in talks with Tehran’s top authority.
Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei [pictured below] held back-to-back meetings in recent days with Ismail Haniyeh, [above] chair of the Hamas movement’s Political Bureau, and Ziyad al-Nakhala, secretary-general of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad movement, in Tehran.
Both Palestinian leaders conveyed their gratitude for the support shown by the Islamic Republic since a Hamas-led coalition of armed Arab Palestinian factions led an unprecedented and barbaric attack on Israel on October 7, 2023, sparking the deadliest flare-up to date of the decades-long Israeli-Arab Palestinian conflict.
During Haniyeh’s meeting on Monday, the Hamas chief took aim at not only Israel but also the United States for supporting its ally throughout the conflict, asserting that, “the war in Gaza is a world war and the U.S. governing body is the main accomplice of the Zionist crimes as it is in charge of guiding the military operations of the Zionist regime,” Khamenei’s office said in a readout.
Nakhala, for his part, compared the conflict to the 7th century Battle of Karbala in modern-day Iraq, an event that holds particular significance to Shiite Muslims to this day, during his talks with Khamenei on Wednesday.
“Despite facing numerous difficulties and conspiracies, the people of Gaza have displayed an unparalleled steadfastness alongside the Resistance forces,” Nakhala was cited by Khamenei’s office as saying. “Together, they have successfully foiled the plots devised by the U.S., the Zionist regime, and their supporters to dismantle the Resistance.“
With Khamenei lauding the Gaza-based movements for having “turned Palestine to the world’s first issue,” the talks showcased Iran’s efforts to bridge the Sunni-Shiite divide in line with the broader “Axis of Resistance” coalition, as well as Tehran’s leading role in the multi-front war in the Middle East.
IRAN
A series of senior Axis of Resistance officials have met with senior Iranian officials—including the supreme leader—in March, likely to coordinate and prepare plans for their reaction to a wider Israeli operation into southern Lebanon.
Iran and the Axis of Resistance use periodic meetings between senior officials to coordinate responses to new developments in the region.
Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps Quds Force Commander Esmail Ghaani [pictured above] spent much of October 2023 in Beirut for meetings with Lebanese Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah to help coordinate “a possible broader confrontation with Israel,” for example.
The Syrian defence minister, Kataib Hezbollah secretary general, Palestinian Islamic Jihad secretary general, and Hamas Political Bureau chairman each met with senior Iranian leaders, including Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, in Tehran between March 17 and 28.
This string of meetings comes after IRGC Quds Force Commander Ghaani visited Beirut in February 2024 to discuss the possibility of an Israeli offensive against Hezbollah with Nasrallah.
One Iranian source stated that during the meeting Nasrallah told Ghaani that Hezbollah did not want Iran to become involved in a Hezbollah-Israel war.
Iran could use the remainder of its proxy network—including actors based in Syria, Iraq, and in the so-called West Bank—against Israel in a Hezbollah-Israel war to support Hezbollah and increase the threat to Israel.
PIJ Secretary General Ziyad Nakhalah [pictured above] highlighted the importance of the West Bank in his meeting with Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf in Tehran on March 28, noting that “the resistance is not only in Gaza, but [also] in the West Bank.”
Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant said that Iran is seeking to promote major terror attacks by smuggling “high-quality” weapons into Judea and Samaria.
Russian Warships Enter the Red Sea……..
Several Russian warships have passed the Bab al-Mandab Strait into the Red Sea, the Russian Navy’s Pacific Fleet said on Thursday, amid attacks by Yemen’s Houthis on merchant shipping.
The Zvezda TV channel, owned by the defence ministry, quoted the fleet’s media as saying the Russian cruiser Varyag and the frigate Marshal Shaposhnikov were taking part in the voyage.
Houthi terrorists in Yemen have repeatedly attacked ships passing through the Bab al-Mandab Strait in the Red Sea since November in support of the Arab Palestinians, the terror organization claims.
No doubt the Houthis will be very careful not to target the Russian vessels?
UKRAINE
The Russian Orthodox Church has approved a document that deems President Vladimir Putin’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine a “Holy War.”
The declaration came during a congress of the World Russian People’s Council in which religious, political and cultural figures in the country met at the site of Moscow’s Cathedral of Christ the Saviour, a focal point for the Orthodox faith in Russia.
The head of the Russian Orthodox Church, Patriarch Kirill, [pictured above] also heads the council and is an ally of Putin.
He has been criticized for providing a religious justification for the war and failing to unequivocally condemn the killing of people in Ukraine.
In February 2022, Patriarch Kirill said that Ukraine and Belarus were part of “Russian lands” and called the Ukrainians who were defending themselves against Russian aggression as “forces of evil,” pitching the war as a battle for “the future of Christianity.”
“From a spiritual and moral point of view, the special military operation is a Holy War, in which Russia and its people, are defending the single spiritual space of Holy Russia,” the document released on Wednesday said under the heading “special military operation,” which is the official Kremlin term for the invasion.
It went on to claim that the war had the goal of “protecting the world from the onslaught of globalism and the victory of the West, which has fallen into Satanism.”
Following the war, “the entire territory of modern Ukraine should enter the zone of Russia’s exclusive influence,” it said.
“The possibility of the existence of a Russophobic political regime hostile to Russia and its people on this territory, as well as a political regime controlled from an external centre hostile to Russia, should be completely excluded,” it added.
Kharkov is on the brink of falling into Russian hands……….
The second-largest Ukrainian city is apparently currently under heavy Russian bombardment and is on the brink of total collapse and defeat.
Scores of civilians are right now fleeing for their lives out of the city.
The Russians have started a campaign to destroy the city of Kharkiv (Kharkov), the second largest in Ukraine, as they did to the cities of Mariupol, Bakhmut, Abdibek Homs, Aleppo, Alhama, and many more.
The hundreds of thousands of residents there are reportedly now leaving and evacuating. There is an official evacuation order for all children.
