Happy Thanksgiving 2025

Posted in #PaulthePoke, Culture, Trend Update with tags , , , , , , , , on November 25, 2025 by paulthepoke

Exodus 23:16b …And keep the Feast of Ingathering at the end of the year, when you gather your produce from the field.

Thanksgiving is a theme embedded throughout the Bible and across time. The ultimate expression of Thanksgiving is Communion and what Christ did for us. Communion is a memorial of thanks. Even Jesus is giving thanks to God the Father as He is about to become the expression of sacrifice.

1 Corinthians 11:23-26 For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus, on the night when He was betrayed, took bread; and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, “This is My body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of Me.” In the same way He also took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood; do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.” For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until He comes.

Prior to Communion was the sacrificial system of the Old Testament. Specifically, we are going to look at the Fall Feast of Tabernacles or the Feast of Ingathering.

This festival is a week-long festival from Tishri 15 to 21. When working in the fields during harvest, people lived in tents. The tents served as a reminder of the forty years of wandering in the desert after the Exodus from Egypt. The holiday is a reminder of the provision and safety God showed Israel during their travels in the desert as noted in Deuteronomy 8. It is to be a joyous festival (Deuteronomy 16:14). Sabbatical rest without work is part of the holiday. (New Manners and Customs of Bible Times).

Three times a year, the men were required to come to Jerusalem and come before the Lord with a sacrifice. They were to bring their best.

All that said, many scholars believe the Pilgrims of the Mayflower patterned their first Thanksgiving after the Feast of Tabernacles in the fall. Legend has it the Pilgrims celebrated their successful harvest in the fall and gave thanks to God.

~

Zechariah 14:16-19 And it shall come to pass that everyone who is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall go up from year to year to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, and to keep the Feast of Tabernacles. And it shall be that whichever of the families of the earth do not come up to Jerusalem to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, on them there will be no rain. If the family of Egypt will not come up and enter in, they shall have no  rain; they shall receive the plague with which the Lord strikes the nations who do not come up to keep the Feast of Tabernacles. This shall be the punishment of Egypt and the punishment of all the nations that do not come up to keep the Feast of Tabernacles.

Per Zechariah 14, the Feast of Booths or Tabernacles is the only God appointed holiday gentile nations will be required to attend. The nations will be required to go before the Lord Jesus Christ during the Feast of Booths. For those nations who do not attend, no rain for your crops.

The Bible also promises an incredible feast and other gifts of Thanksgiving to all people at some point in the future.

Isaiah 25:6-8 On this mountain the LORD of Hosts will prepare a lavish banquet for all the peoples, a feast of aged wine, of choice meat, of finely aged wine. On this mountain He will swallow up the shroud that enfolds all peoples, the sheet that covers all nations; He will swallow up death forever. The Lord GOD will wipe away the tears from every face and remove the disgrace of His people from the whole earth.

God has a plan and we have so much to be thankful for with incredible gratitude.

Remembering Charlie Kirk; Hamas Leaderless; Terrorism; Wars & Rumors; Persecution; UAP’s

Posted in #PaulthePoke, Fake News???, Gaza Strip/Philistia, Prophecy, Trend Update with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on September 10, 2025 by paulthepoke

2 Timothy 3:12 Yes, and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution.

Matthew 24:9 Then they will deliver you over to be persecuted and killed, and you will be hated by all nations because of My name.

Conservative Charlie Kirk, 31, was fatally shot during a debate event at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah, on Wednesday, September 10, 2025. The founder of Turning Point USA, known for his conservative Judeo-Christian views on politics and culture, died from injuries after being struck in the neck by a shooter from an estimated 200 yards away. The incident has ignited widespread outrage, with President Donald Trump and lawmakers from both parties condemning the violence and calling for investigations into campus security and political tensions. -Grok edited

Please consider prayer for Charlie and his family.

Ezekiel 7:11 Violence has grown up into a rod of wickedness. None of them shall remain, nor their abundance, nor their wealth; neither shall there be preeminence among them.

Ezekiel 7:23 Forge a chain! For the land is full of bloody crimes and the city is full of violence.

Ezekiel 7:25 When anguish comes, they will seek peace, but there shall be none.

The Hebrew word “hamas“. Per lexicons and dictionaries in the Hebrew, “hamas” means violence. The word is translated as violence, wrong, or malicious in the Bible.

Everyone wants the Hostages HOME. Everyone wants this War to end! The Israelis have accepted my Terms. It is time for Hamas to accept as well. I have warned Hamas about the consequences of not accepting. This is my last warning, there will not be another one! Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Qatar and the international community are condemning Israel and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Israel grows increasingly more isolated in the world. And we wonder how we get to a place where no one will stand up for Israel when Ezekiel 38-39 come calling.

Ezekiel 38:13 Sheba and Dedan and the merchants of Tarshish with all its villages will ask, ‘Have you come to capture the plunder? Have you assembled your hordes to carry away loot, to make off with silver and gold, to take cattle and goods, to seize great spoil?’

Mark 13:7 And when you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be alarmed. This must take place, but the end is not yet. -Jesus

Israel is and has been fighting wars on multiple fronts: Hamas in Gaza, Houthis in Yemen, targeted strikes in the West Bank, Hezbollah in southern Lebanon, Iranian proxies in Syria, and Iran.

Don’t forget Russia and Ukraine, Myanmar Civil War, Sudanese Civil War, Ethiopian Civil War, Nigerian Terrorist Insurgency, Burkina Faso Terrorist Insurgency, Syrian Civil War, Mali Terrorist Insurgency, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) Conflict, Afghanistan-Pakistan Border Conflict, Cameroon Anglophone Crisis, Niger Terrorist Insurgency, Colombian Conflict, Haitian Civil War, Afghanistan Civil War, Iraq Civil War, Central African Republic Civil War, Mozambique Civil War, Chad Terrorist Insurgency, Libya Terrorist Insurgency, Ecuador Civil War, and Nepal. -Grok

Back in July 2025, French President Macron called for recognition of a Palestinian state.

Coincidence or Divine intervention???

The Bible has answers. ALL things were created by and for Him (Jesus). And because of His work on the cross and His resurrection, ALL things in the universe are under His subjection.

Colossians 1:16 For in Him all things were created, things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities. All things were created through Him and for Him.

Colossians 1:20 and through Him to reconcile to Himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through the blood of His cross.

~

Matthew 22:37-40 And He said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets.” -Jesus

This Week in Prophecy: Israel Independence Day & Fires; Druze in Syria; Russia & N. Korea; Drake Passage Quake; Sovereignty

Posted in #PaulthePoke, Earthquakes/Volcanoes, Ezekiel 38-39, Prophecy, Trend Update with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on May 5, 2025 by paulthepoke

Amos 9:15 I will plant them on their land, and they shall never again be uprooted out of the land that I have given them,” says the LORD your God.

Despite the deadly intentions of their neighbors, Israel is not going anywhere. The Jewish nation is here to stay.

As Israel celebrated Independence Day, Hamas arsonists sprang into action.

The fires were located west of Jerusalem. This was one of the largest fires in the recent history of Israel. Many events were cancelled due to the fires.

Isaiah 17:1 This is the burden against Damascus: “Behold, Damascus is no longer a city; it has become a heap of ruins.

Ezekiel 38:6b …the many nations with you.

Magog or modern day Russia and friends, did anyone suspect this may include North Korea. This is curious at the least.

Quakes in various places…

A 7.5 quake occurred in the Drake Passage between Antarctica and the southern tip of South America.

And in sports, Sovereignty beat Journalism to win the 2025 Kentucky Derby. Sovereignty won going away. The outcome came as no surprise here despite Journalism being the betting favorite. Here at PaulthePoke, we believe God is sovereign, and definitely over journalism…

This Week in Prophecy: Temple Talk; West Bank; Syrian Barbarianism; British Education; Red Sea

Micah 4:1-3 In the last days the mountain of the house of the LORD will be established as the chief of the mountains; it will be raised above the hills, and the peoples will stream to it. And many nations will come and say: “Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob. He will teach us His ways, so that we may walk in His paths.” For the law will go forth from Zion and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem. Then He will judge between many peoples and arbitrate for strong nations far and wide. Then they will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will no longer take up the sword against nation, nor will they train anymore for war.

Coalition MKs to US Senate: “Recognize the right of the Jewish people to the Temple Mount”

“This is the place where our Temples stood, which were destroyed by the Babylonian and Roman empires about 2,500 and 1,900 years ago.”

The letter to the members of the Senate reads: “Today, while the sovereign State of Israel guarantees access to holy sites for all religions, the Jewish people are denied full and free access to their holiest site due to heavy international pressure. Official recognition by the world’s leading country and Israel’s great friend – the United States – could ensure historical justice.

“This decision is not just a symbolic gesture but a declaration of truth, a declaration of religious freedom and the restoration of historical justice. The United States has been and will always be a pillar of human rights and the protection of holy sites around the world. Especially after October 7, when Hamas and its allies declared war under the slogan ‘Al-Aqsa Flood’ while desecrating the sanctity of the Holy Place, we call for support and promotion of this historic decision as a courageous and clear statement of the United States’ ongoing commitment to truth, justice, and religious freedom for all peoples.”

Jeremiah 49:23-24 Concerning Damascus: “Hamath and Arpad are put to shame, for they have heard a bad report; they are agitated like the sea; their anxiety cannot be calmed. Damascus has become feeble; she has turned to flee. Panic has gripped her; anguish and pain have seized her like a woman in labor.

Ahmed al-Sharaa, better known as Abu Mohammad al-Jolani is Syria’s new leader. Historically, he has ties to Al Qaeda and ISIS.

In late 2024, Jolani spearheaded a rapid offensive that toppled Assad’s regime, capturing key cities like Aleppo, Homs, and Damascus by December 8, 2024. -Grok AI

Jolani led forces have turned on Assad loyalists or Alawites in western Syria.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR), a UK-based monitoring group, reported over 1,450 deaths across Latakia, Tartus, Hama, and Homs provinces by March 10, including 973 civilians, mostly Alawites, killed in what they described as “killings, field executions, and ethnic cleansing operations.” By March 11, this civilian toll rose to 1,225, with specific incidents like 132 deaths in Baniyas alone.

Some estimates have the number of deaths over 22,000. There are gruesome descriptions with pictures and video on the internet including barbaric murders, kidnapping, rape, and cannibalism.

Russia and the United States request emergency United Nations Security Council meeting “in light of the violence against civilians in Western Syria.”

Great Britain: Sir Hamid Patel, has been appointed interim chairman of OFSTED (Office for Standards in Education). This is who the Brits have in charge of their education. This is a sea change from The Church of England.

Sir Patel is Mufti. According to Grok AI…

A “Mufti” in the context of Islam refers to a qualified Islamic scholar or jurist who is authorized to issue legal opinions or interpretations (known as fatwas) on matters of Islamic law (Sharia). The term comes from the Arabic word aftā, meaning “to give a legal opinion.” Muftis play a significant role in Muslim communities by providing guidance on religious, social, and legal issues based on their deep knowledge of the Quran, Hadith (sayings and actions of the Prophet Muhammad), and Islamic jurisprudence (Fiqh).

To become a Mufti, a person typically undergoes extensive education in Islamic studies, mastering areas such as theology, law, and Arabic language. Historically, Muftis have been appointed by governments or religious institutions in some Muslim-majority countries, while in other contexts, they earn their status through recognition by their peers and community for their expertise.

Teshuvah 5784/5949/2024

Posted in #PaulthePoke, Teshuvah/Repent with tags , , , , , , , , , on September 1, 2024 by paulthepoke

Nehemiah 6:15 So the wall was completed on the twenty-fifth of the month Elul, in fifty-two days.

The verse above is the only time Elul is mentioned in the Bible.

Elul is the last month of the civic calendar in Judaism. Elul is the sixth month of the religious calendar.

Elul 1 marks the beginning of Teshuvah, a 40 day period that runs through the holiday of Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement. Teshuvah is the Hebrew word for repent.

On our western Gregorian calendar in the year 2024, this would be at sunset September 3rd as calculated by 21st century time keeping.

Those keeping a traditional Hebrew lunar calendar depend on when the new moon is confirmed by two witnesses. People on the ground near Jerusalem will be looking to verify the event and confirm the new month by seeing the little slice or a crescent of the new moon.

~

The Essenes followed a solar calendar. A solar calendar has a leap week as compared to a leap month with a lunar calendar. On the Essene calendar, Elul 1st took place on what was August 18th, 2024 or roughly two weeks ago. It is the year 5949 AM. In other words, 5,949 years since creation.

The Essenes also marked the beginning of the year in the spring with the month of Nisan or Abib as described in Exodus.

Exodus 12:1-2 Now the Lord said to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, “This month shall be the beginning of months for you; it is to be the first month of the year to you…”

Moses referred to this month as Abib. Exodus 13:4 On this day in the month of Abib, you are about to go forth. Per Strong’s Concordance, Abib means: fresh, young barley ears; month of ear-forming, of greening of crop, of growing green; month of Exodus and Passover.

The month is called Nisan in Nehemiah 2:1 And it came about in the month Nisan… It means “their flight”. Israel took “their flight” out of Egypt in Nisan. The meaning of month Nisan is a reminder to Israel.

As the Essenes mark time, this is the 49th year of a 50 year cycle. We are in the middle of a Sabbatical or Shemitah year. That would make the next New Year in the spring of 2025 a Jubilee year.

For more details on the Essene calendar, see Ken Johnson’s work at…

It is Jewish custom to blow a shofar (ram’s horn) one time every day during the season of Teshuvah. The trumpet is blown after the morning service. The trumpet is blown every day except Shabbat or the Sabbath (Saturday for us in western culture) and the last day of month of Elul.

The trumpet blast signified the beginning of the month. 

Psalm 81:3-4 Blow the trumpet at the new moon, at the full moon, on our feast day. For it is a statute for Israel, an ordinance of the God of Jacob. 

Numbers 10:10 On the day of your gladness also, and at your appointed feasts and at the beginnings of your months, you shall blow the trumpets over your burnt offerings and over the sacrifices of your peace offerings. They shall be a reminder of you before your God: I am the LORD your God.”

Some form of a trumpet blast(s) is used at Rosh Hashanah (Feast of Trumpets) and Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement). A trumpet blast also signals the beginning of a Jubilee (Leviticus 25).

The shofar blast was also a call to war and the prospect of danger.

The countdown to the Fall Feasts has begun…

Red Heifer Update, August 2024

Posted in #PaulthePoke, Prophecy, Sacrificial System, Trend Update with tags , , , , , on August 17, 2024 by paulthepoke

Arabs have the understanding the red heifer will be sacrificed on the Mount of Olives across the valley from the Temple Mount in Jerusalem.

Muslims are acutely aware of the 5 red heifer candidates imported from Texas.

The article also recognizes the existence of the two previous Jewish Temples.

“Temple worshipers are now practising the mitzvah [religious duty] of a red cow in front of the Temple Mount, which will enable the return of purity and the observance of all the temple mitzvahs,” Yinon Magal, journalist.

https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/israel-practise-red-heifer-ritual-al-aqsa

“We look back 100 days to remember the educated, the complicit, and the incapacitated among the world powers governed by the law of the jungle, reminding them of an aggression that reached its peak against our path (Al-Quds) and Al-Aqsa, with the start of its actual temporal and spatial division, and the ‘bringing of red cows’ as an application of a detestable religious myth designed for aggression against the feelings of an entire nation in the heart of its Arab identity, and the path of its prophet (the Night Journey) and Ascension to heaven.” -Abu Obeida, Military Spokesman, Al-Qassam Brigades, Hamas

https://www.israel365news.com/382489/hamas-spokesman-oct-7-attack-launched-to-stop-the-red-heifers

As the Temple Institute and modern day Sanhedrin see it, the ashes from the sacrifice of the red heifer are necessary for purification prior to the building of the Temple.

Three to four years of age is an oral tradition that has been passed down through the generations. This is the minimal age necessary for red heifer sacrifice.

According to Jewish tradition, historically there have been 9 perfect red heifers. The 10th perfect red heifer is to coincide with the advent of the Messiah and the third Temple.

Back in October 2019, Heifer burning practice was initiated.

Red Heifer Update: Heifer Burning Practice

The innocent, shed blood of Jesus Christ on the cross is the fulfillment of forgiveness and the release from sin.

Hebrews 9:22 And according to the Law, one may almost say, all things are cleansed with blood, and without shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.

As the red heifer was and will be again sacrificed outside the city limits of Jerusalem, so was Jesus Christ. As the sacrifice of the red heifer is for the purification and consecration of the people of Israel, so was and is Jesus Christ.

Hebrews 13:12 Therefore Jesus also, that He might sanctify the people through His own blood, suffered outside the gate.

Christ’s sacrifice is not only for the people of Israel, but for all the people of the world. He is the sacrifice for all sin for all time.

1 John 1:7 but if we walk in the Light as He Himself is in the Light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin.

Israel Divided

Posted in #PaulthePoke, Prophecy, Trend Update with tags , , , , , , , , , , on March 27, 2023 by paulthepoke

Luke 11:17 But He knew their thoughts and said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself is laid waste; and a house divided against itself falls. -Jesus

“I call on all the demonstrators in Jerusalem, from the right and from the left, to behave responsibly and not to act violently. We are brothers.” -Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu

The issue of Judicial Reform is coming to a head in Israel. At the heart of the matter, does the Supreme Court of Israel have too much power? Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and some his supporters on the right say yes. There appears to be fractures on the right.

The opposition on the left says leave the status quo alone, no change. Reforms would damage democracy in Israel.

Sunday, March 26, 2023: Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu fires fellow Likud Party member and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant. This happened one day after Gallant called for a pause in the judicial reform legislation.

“I see the source of our strength eroding. The growing rift in our society is penetrating the IDF and security agencies. This poses a clear, immediate, and tangible threat to the security of the state. I will not lend my hand to this. For the sake of Israel’s security, for the sake of our sons and daughters, the legislative process should be stopped now, to enable the nation of Israel to celebrate Passover and Independence Day together, and to mourn together on Memorial Day and Holocaust Remembrance Day.” -Yoav Gallant

https://www.timesofisrael.com/netanyahu-fires-defense-minister-gallant-for-calling-to-pause-judicial-overhaul

Monday, March 27, 2023: The following is from CNN Jerusalem. Israel’s largest trade union announced a strike closing transportation, universities, restaurants and retailers.

Israeli diplomats in embassies from Washington DC, London and Paris joined the strike as well.

https://www.cnn.com/2023/03/27/middleeast/israel-judicial-overhaul-legislation-intl/index.html

~

As of this afternoon, Netanyahu agreed to stop reforms for now as protests continued in the hundreds of thousands across Israel. The judicial reform plan for this session of parliament has been postponed. National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir and Prime Minister Netanyahu agreed to table the issue.

https://www.foxnews.com/world/israels-netanyahu-agrees-halt-judicial-reform-for-now-mass-protests-continue

“There is one other thing that characterizes the judiciary in Israel and that is that the judges veto the appointment of judges, they effectively select themselves and that doesn’t exist in any democracy. The reform that we’re dealing with right now corrects that.” -Prime Minister Netanyahu, Piers Morgan Uncensored

https://nation.foxnews.com/piers-morgan-uncensored/

Israel is ripe for a political leader who will bring unity and healing.

1 John 2:18 Children, it is the last hour; and just as you heard that antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have appeared; from this we know that it is the last hour.

Daniel 8:23-25 “In the latter period of their rule, when the transgressors have run their course, a king will arise, insolent and skilled in intrigue. His power will be mighty, but not by his own power, and he will destroy to an extraordinary degree and prosper and perform his will; he will destroy mighty men and the holy people. And through his shrewdness he will cause deceit to succeed by his influence; and he will magnify himself in his heart, and he will destroy many while they are at ease. He will even oppose the Prince of princes, but he will be broken without human agency”.

IF time is winding down and IF we are on the verge of His (Jesus) arrival, he (antichrist) is watching and he is scheming.

Be on alert. Pay attention. Think. Discern.

This Week in Prophecy: Saudi’s & Peace, Israel & Iran Nuke Program, Israeli Gas, China Is Busy

On This Week in Prophecy: The Saudis name their terms for peace with the Israelis. They want to develop nuclear power, for peaceful purposes of course. The Saudis would also like some assurances from the United States in regards to security. Will the United States agree? Will Saudi Arabia join the Abraham Accords?

https://www.jpost.com/middle-east/article-733877

Many think Israel is on the verge of striking Iran’s nuclear program.

Ezekiel 38-39

After the meeting, Prime Minister Netanyahu was off to Italy. He was offering a deal, Israeli gas and Italy recognize Jerusalem as its capital.

“And then there is natural gas. We have a lot of it and I would like to discuss how to get it to Italy to support your economic growth.”

There are two countries on planet Earth who have the population to support this large of an army. My money is on China.

Taiwan had two internet cables cut. The result was massive outages across Taiwan. Responsibility of the act has not been claimed. Speculation is running wild as to how this happened. China is suspected.

On This Week in Prophecy:

For the first time in 2,000 years, people will be able to visit the Pool of Siloam. The original pool was rediscovered in 2004. The original size of the pool is believed to be approximately 1.25 acres.

The pool was first mentioned in 2 Kings 20:20 as part of King Hezekiah’s water project.

2 Kings 20:20 Now the rest of the acts of Hezekiah and all his might, and how he constructed the pool and the conduit and brought water into the city, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?

Reverend Johnnie Moore, President of the Congress of Christian Leaders had the following quote per Fox News.

“This news means that one of the most important archeological discoveries in history can soon be seen by visitors from all over the world. It will affirm all they believe. Having faith is part of worshipping God, but faith alone isn’t required to believe. There are historic facts attesting to the truth of Scripture.”

“In the Pool of Siloam, we find evidence of history preserved for us, revealed at just the right time. This is a truly historic event. Theologically, it affirms Scripture, geographically it affirms history and politically it affirms Israel’s unquestionable and unrivaled link to Jerusalem. Some discoveries are theoretical. This one is an undeniable. It is proof of the story of the Bible and of its people, Israel.”

Jesus Himself verifies the name of the Pool of Siloam.

John 9:7 And He (Jesus) said to him, “Go, wash in the pool of Siloam” (which is translated, Sent). So he went and washed, and came back seeing.

Itamar Ben-Gvir, Minister of National Security, went to the Temple Mount. And the world freaked out and held emergency meetings at the United Nations. The claim, the status quo on the Temple Mount was violated.

Ben-Gvir spent 13 minutes on the Temple Mount. He walked around, end of story.

What is going on with the health of Hezbollah’s Hassan Nasrallah? It depends on the news source.

Iran says he has the flu. Israel says he’s had a couple of strokes. The news has been silent on this for about a week and a half.

Hyperinflation is beginning to settle into Egypt. The currency is worth less and less every day. The Egyptians have taken a $3,000,000,000 (billion) loan from the International Monetary Fund. These are the consequences of the war in Ukraine with Russia’s invasion.
