This Week in Prophecy: Love Grows Cold; Palestine State

Posted in #PaulthePoke, Culture, Gaza Strip/Philistia, Prophecy, Trend Update with tags , , , , , , , on September 24, 2025 by paulthepoke

Revelation 11:7-10 When the two witnesses have finished their testimony, the beast that comes up from the Abyss will wage war with them, and will overpower and kill them. Their bodies will lie in the street of the great city—figuratively called Sodom and Egypt—where their Lord was also crucified. For three and a half days all peoples and tribes and tongues and nations will view their bodies and will not permit them to be laid in a tomb. And those who dwell on the earth will gloat over them and celebrate and send one another gifts, because these two prophets had tormented them.

I have often wondered how humanity reached the point of celebration with the death of a fellow man in the verses above in Revelation 11. With the assassination of Charlie Kirk, we have seen plenty of examples of people celebrating on social media. As of September 2025, we have arrived. People are gloating, celebrating, and gifting over the death of a man.

The verses above mark the halfway point of the 7 year tribulation. I hold to the position the seven year tribulation has not started. Sadly, Scripture says our world will grow colder from this point in time.

Jesus confirms this coming time with the Olivet Discourse.

Matthew 24:12 Because of the multiplication of wickedness, the love of most/many will grow cold.

Joel 3:2 I will gather all the nations and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat. There I will enter into judgment against them concerning My people, My inheritance, Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations as they divided up My land.

Mark 3:23-26 So Jesus called them together and began to speak to them in parables: “How can Satan drive out Satan? If a kingdom is divided against itself, it cannot stand. If a house is divided against itself, it cannot stand. And if Satan is divided and rises against himself, he cannot stand; his end has come.

Tisha B`Av/9th of Av, 5785/2025

Posted in #PaulthePoke, Gaza Strip/Philistia, Prophecy, Trend Update with tags , , , , , , , , , , on July 31, 2025 by paulthepoke

2 Peter 3:12 as you anticipate and hasten the coming of the day of God, when the heavens will be destroyed by fire and the elements will melt in the heat.

Tisha b’Av:  to the Jew, this is a date, the 9th of the Hebrew month Av. It is the 11th month of the civil calendar or the 5th month of the religious calendar. The month is not named in the Bible. Av usually occurs during July or August on the Gregorian calendar.

This year, the 9th of Av begins at sunset on Saturday, August 2, 2025 on our western Gregorian calendar.

The 9th of Av is a day of mourning in Israel. Tragedy came about because of the account of Numbers 13-14. This event occurred immediately after God had delivered Israel out of bondage in Egypt. The short story is the Lord told Moses to send a group of spies to go scout the Promised Land. The spies came back and proclaimed the Jews could not take the land because of the inhabitants of the land were too big and too strong. The people rebelled against Moses. The people stated they would rather go back to Egypt. The nation (except Caleb and Joshua) did not believe God to give them the Promised Land. We know it occurred during the grape harvest per the text (Numbers 13:20). This event is said to have occurred on the 9th of Av. God pronounced judgment on the nation at that time. And this date is said to be a reminder of nation Israel’s lack of faith in God.

Numbers 13:20 …and whether the land is rich or poor, and whether there are trees in it or not. Be of good courage and bring some of the fruit of the land.” Now the time was the season of the first ripe grapes.

~

We are approaching the 20th anniversary of Israel handing over the Gaza Strip to the Palestinians. Remember the promise of appeasement, “Land for peace.” This occurred on the 9th of Av in 5765/2005 (Gregorian year).

Ezekiel 38… The Bible says there will come a time when Israel will stand alone an no nation will come to their defense.

As of July 2025, 148 of the 193 United Nations member states recognize the State of Palestine, representing about 75% of UN members. The Holy See (Vatican City), a UN observer state, also recognizes Palestine. -Grok AI

What do the kings of the south know?

Here is a list of Jewish history on the 9th of Av.

  1. 586 BC, the first Temple was destroyed.
  2. 70 AD, the second Temple was destroyed.
  3. 135 AD, Betar fell. It was the last fortress to hold out against the Romans during the Bar Kochba revolt.
  4. 136 AD, one year after the fall of Betar, the Temple area was plowed.
  5. 1290 AD, Jews were expelled from England.
  6. 1492 AD, King Ferdinand of Spain issued the expulsion decree, setting Tisha B’Av as the final date by which not a single Jew would be allowed to walk on Spanish soil.
  7. 1914 AD, World War I began the downward slide to the Holocaust.
  8. 2005 AD, Israel turns over the Gaza Strip.

1 John 3:15-16 Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that eternal life does not reside in a murderer. By this we know what love is: Jesus laid down His life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers.

And it is His love for us, His work on the cross for sin (in this case murder), that keeps us from an eternal hell.

1 John 3:20 Even if our hearts condemn us, God is greater than our hearts, and He knows all things.

This Week in Prophecy: Fighting in Rafah Continues, China, Food Security, Pride Month

Posted in #PaulthePoke, China, Culture, Gaza Strip/Philistia, Prophecy, Trend Update with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on June 3, 2024 by paulthepoke

Exodus 2:11-12 One day, after Moses had grown up, he went out to his own people and observed their hard labor. He saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew, one of his own people. After looking this way and that and seeing no one, he struck down the Egyptian and hid his body in the sand.

President Biden has a proposal for the conflict in Gaza.

Kings of the East…

Isaiah 49:12 Look, they come from far away! Look, some come from the north and west, and others from the land of Sinim!

Genesis 10:16-18 the Jebusites, Amorites, Girgashites, Hivites, Arkites, Sinites, Arvadites, Zemarites, and Hamathites. Eventually the families of the Canaanites were scattered.

The following is from the Genesis Record, Henry Morris.

The Biblical mention of a people in the Far East named “Sinim” (Isaiah 49:12), together with references in ancient secular histories to people in the Far East called “Sinae,” at least suggests the possibility that some of Sin’s descendants migrated eastward, while others went south into the land of Canaan. It is significant that the Chinese people have always been identified by the prefix “Sino-” (e.g., Sino-Japanese War; Sinology, the study of Chinese history). The name “Sin” is frequently encountered in Chinese names in the form “Siang” or its equivalent.

The evidence is tenuous but, of all the names in the Table of Nations, it does seem that two sons of Canaan, Heth (Hittites = Khittae = Cathay) and Sin (Sinites = Sinim = China), are the most likely to have become ancestors of the Oriental peoples. Since it seems reasonable that divine inspiration would include in such a table information concerning the ancestry of all the major streams of human development, it is reasonable to conclude that the Mongoloid peoples (and therefore also the American Indians) have come mostly from the Hamitic line.

The food supply continues to be under assault across the planet. This is the last week alone. Look for egg and chicken prices to rise. Revelation says hyperinflation is a an economic condition at the onset of the tribulation.

More than 4 million chickens to be killed in Iowa after officials detect bird flu on farm

Pride Month, 2024

Humanity is dedicating a month to the celebration of Pride. And the point of this section is not to shake a finger at anybody. We all sin and we are all guilty. One sin is not more sinful than another. Set aside sexual behavior. We are all still guilty before God. You break one of God’s laws, you break them all.

As I have stated in the past on this blog, these are God’s words. It is acknowledged, His words are offensive to segments of society. Eventually, His words are offensive to all of us if we are honest with ourselves. Please take your complaints and comments directly to Him. He will listen. He is a big boy. He can handle it.

Proverbs 8:13 The fear of the LORD is hatred of evil. Pride and arrogance and the way of evil and perverted speech I hate.

Above is what God says. Below are the positions of the current powers that be…

The monthlong global celebration began with Gay Pride Week in late June 1970, a public celebration that marked the first anniversary of the violent police raid at New York’s Stonewall Inn, a gay bar.

https://apnews.com/article/pride-month-lgbtq-2024-1abf80d0cf1026b60b47f565e9953fec

Now according to Wikipedia…

The concept of Pride Month began with the Stonewall riots, a series of riots for gay liberation that took place over several days beginning on June 28, 1969. The riots began after a police raid at the Stonewall Inn, a gay bar located within Lower Manhattan in New York City.[2] Activists Marsha P. JohnsonSylvia Rivera, and Stormé DeLarverie are credited for inciting the riots, though Johnson disputes her involvement.[3][1]

Exodus 32:6 So the next day they got up early and offered burnt offerings, and brought peace offerings; and the people sat down to eat and to drink, and got up to engage in lewd behavior.

Dr. Jordan B. Peterson is an author, psychologist, online educator, and Professor Emeritus at the University of Toronto. Below, he shares his thoughts on Pride Month. He discusses the term “Pride” and how this relates to the golden calf worship after the Israeli Exodus from Egypt.

“I made it clear that if they go into Rafah, they haven’t gone in Rafah yet, if they go into Rafah, I’m not supplying the weapons that have been used historically to deal with Rafah, to deal with the cities, that deal with that problem,” President Joe Biden.

https://www.cnn.com/2024/05/08/politics/joe-biden-interview-cnntv/index.html

President Biden has not changed his policy towards Israel. Remember back in 1987 with Biden’s exchange with Israeli Prime Minister Menacham Begin.

“Don’t threaten us with cutting off aid to give up our principles. I’m not a Jew with trembling knees. I am a proud Jew with 3,700 years of civilized history. Nobody came to our aid when we were dying in the gas chambers and ovens. Nobody came to our aid when we were striving to create our country. We paid for it. We fought for it. We died for it. We will stand by our principles. We will defend them. And, when necessary, we will die for them again, with or without your aid.” -Menachem Begin, Israeli Prime Minister

This Week in Prophecy: Rafah Invasion, Holocaust, Turkey & Trade, Trump & 2 State Solution, Mohammed bin Salman

Ezekiel 7:11 Violence (Hebrew word is Hamas) 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.

Hamas says they have agreed to a cease fire brokered by Egypt and Qatar. Israel says the terms of the plan were not reached. Israel is moving ahead with their military plans in Rafah.

“In the terrible Holocaust, there were great world leaders who stood by idly; therefore, the first lesson of the Holocaust is: If we do not defend ourselves, nobody will defend us. And if we need to stand alone, we will stand alone,” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

The Bible tells us, ultimately, Israel will be alone and no country will come to their defense.

And there is no comment out of the Biden Administration…

Genesis 12:3 I will bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you; and all the families of the earth will be blessed through you.

Presidential candidate Donald Trump has changed his mind on a two state solution with Israel and a potential Palestinian state.

“There was a time when I thought two states could work. Now I think two states is going to be very, very tough. I think it’s going to be much tougher to get. I also think you have fewer people that liked the idea. You had a lot of people that liked the idea four years ago. Today, you have far fewer people that like that idea. Children grow up and they’re taught to hate Jewish people at a level that nobody thought was possible. And I had a friend, a very good friend, Sheldon Adelson, who felt that it was impossible to make a deal because the level of hatred was so great. And I think it was much more so on one side than the other, but the level of hatred of Jewish people was so great and taught from the time they were in kindergarten and before.” -Donald Trump

Ezekiel 7:11 Violence (Hebrew word is Hamas) 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.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has different messages for different audiences. The first message is in Hebrew for Israel. It would appear Netanyahu is facing pressure internally to complete the job against Hamas.

The second message is in English. He is making Israel’s case to the world. Remember, at some point the entire world turns against Israel.

Secretary of State Blinken has been touring the Middle East. He was also meeting with Muhammed bin Salman in Saudi Arabia.

2 Thessalonians 2:7 For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work. Only He who now restrains it will do so until He is out of the way.

The “restrainer” would be the Holy Spirit indwelled in believers of Jesus Christ. You think things are bad now. Wait until we are taken up and raptured. Evil will have its way unchecked.

Remember, George Soros is Jewish. Yes, the antichrist can be a Jew.

Russia has focused recent attacks on infrastructure in Ukraine. The latest estimates are a third to one half of electricity is off-line in Ukraine. Significant blackouts are occurring throughout Ukraine. Russia is utilizing missiles and purchased Iranian drones to achieve the objective. Putin’s goal is simple.

Russia appears to be using rape as a military strategy.

“When women are held for days and raped, when you start to rape little boys and men, when you see a series of genital mutilations, when you hear women testify about Russian soldiers equipped with Viagra, it’s clearly a military strategy. And when the victims report what was said during the rapes, it is clearly a deliberate tactic to dehumanize the victims.”

There are… “confirmed crimes against humanity committed by the Russian forces, and according to gathered testimonies, the age of the victims of sexual violence ranges from four to 82 years old.” -UN Envoy Pramila Patten

Seven million plus Ukrainians have left the country since the beginning of the war.
