| USMC LMADIS Anti-Drone system |
UPDATED (Below) 19 July 2019: Yesterday at approximately 10 AM in the morning in the Strait of Hormuz there was a hostile encounter between the US and Iran. But the shots fired weren't conventional bullets, but a beam of electromagnetic energy (EM). Welcome to warfare in the 21st Century. A full write-up on this vehicle and its technology by Tyler Rogoway is at The War Zone.
The 11th MEU embarked on the USS Boxer brought down an Iranian drone which got too close and made threatening maneuvers. The "fire" on theenemy target came from the vehicle imaged above, the USMC LMADIS (Light Marine Air Defense Integrated System) mounted on a militarized Polaris MRZR dune buggy. One or more of the drum-shaped emitters enveloped the iranian drone in an EM beam cutting off all singals from its control center in Iran, Uncontrolled the Iranian drone crashed into the sea.

| USMC LMADIS TIED-DOWN ON DECK |
The image above shows how the LMADIS was tied-down on the forward deck of the USS Boxer as it engaged the threatening Iranian drone. The question is, is this how the prophetic engagement of Jeremiah 49:34-39 begins, with a form of modern EM warfare that to the ancients was completely incomprehensible. Some unseen power literally plucked a flying craft out of the sky. This is not unlike another unseen power breaking the "bow of Elam."
Standing by now to see what develops next. It appears as if a new threshold has been crossed.
22 July 2018: The update is that this weekend most of the regular surface fleet of the Iranian Navy (IRIN) which consists of 3 frigates, and a host of the fast boats of the IRGC, departed from their births. One frigate stood off about 500 years in parallel of the USS Boxer ESG as the six ships entered into the (Arabian) Gulf via the Strait of Hormuz.
And as most have heard by now, the UK has its problems with Iran in the form of two of its merchant vessel having been taken over by IRGC heliborne commandos and fastboats. It appears that today's COBRA session of the UK govenment resulted in a determination to send a submarine, a destroyer, and some additional numbers of SBS commando to the Gulf. Things are heating up quickly.
More to come...

I'm corroborating data for additional updates.
ReplyDeleteThere is a absolute denial from the US of American or allied air forces participation in a large-scale attack on a PMU base in Iraq early this morning.
ReplyDeleteThe IAF has no comment about it either.
So the update was deleted from this SITREP pending new info being revealed.
See... this is exactly why I constantly monitor your site, Sean. I can't get this information easily anywhere else. Most other news sources I frequent don't even bother to get into these details. As always, thanks.
ReplyDeleteETA: I didn't see, or was referring to, the deleted update. I was referring to the nature and technology involved with plucking the drone out of the sky.
ReplyDeleteIran wants a war. Today the IRGC-N seized two British tankers by force in the Strait of Hormuz.
ReplyDeleteThe US & UK are coordinating. The UK 'Cobra' is in session.
Sean,
ReplyDeleteI know this is a gut wrenching time but I KNOW SOMEONE who isn't worrying one little bit about who is going to do what, try to do anything and will fail totally in ever destroying anything or anyone ever again. It is way past the Hour of Reckoning for the Iranian Mullahs and all I am praying for is the safety and deliverance of the Persian People. Not the imposters who have ruined that nation.
Don't forget, ABBA FATHER still has a population of the Apples of His Eye in residence in Persia and they will be brought back to Israel very soon. Remember the passage where God's Word tells us that the population of Elam will be scattered in all four directions from Persia due to the events taking place there. Jeremiah 49:36 thru 37 but the rest of that chapter is very interesting, especially verse 38 and 39. History has shown that a large amount of the exiles from Israel who had been enslaved in Persia refused to return to Israel during the time that Cyrus The Great had freed them. Am I correct in reading that last comment? I tried to enlist the aid of my computer but it is updating and can't interrupt it. Apple is real controlling when it comes to interrupting.

CENTCOM announced that the US armed forces were invited to deploy to bases in Saudi Arabia to defend against our common threat - Iran.
ReplyDeleteThis is Ezekiel 38:13 "in the flesh."
Yup. Basically Iran is BEGGING to war at this point. I agree with the general principle of restraint as long as you have the upper hand, but at some point Iran WILL have to be dealt with. Hopefully in the form of a precise, surgical strike against key assets (Nuclear Facilities, Command and Control centers, and hopefully, as many of the mullah's we cane take out).
ReplyDeleteIdeally, this should be done with the greatest intention of limiting civilian casualties.
I am just still wondering though, why is Iran begging for war? (It obviously is). Is it their religious ideology? Panic attacks from our very effective sanctions? Seriously they can't possibly think they can win anything in a full-scale war.
Jonathan,
DeleteIt is because of the Shi'a Twelver eschatology that the Iranian regime seeks an apocalyptic war with the US and Israel. They believe such war will hasten the arrival of their al-Mahdi (rightly guided one) who will lead them to victory over the whole world. They are deceived and delusional.
Sean,
ReplyDeleteThen perhaps the verses I mentioned in Jeremiah will be the vehicle that will dislodge the remnant of Jews out of Persia. I don't know how but I do know that when God declares it will be brought about, by golly it is assured most decidedly that they will return to Israel where they belong. But the details will be in the narrative and I am still working on getting it understood. Thank you replying to my quest.
I love this time we are so very fortunate to be a part of and there is nothing dull or ho-hum about any of it. My only desire is to see it all to the conclusion if God so decides and I will be shouting his Praise and Glory all the way up to the 3rd Heaven. Or be totally speechless and unable to think or say ABBA FATHER at all.

Sean,
ReplyDeleteAs I was reading today I came across the Romans 11 and it brings me back to what we have discussed together before. I never recognized that God was saying that the unbelief of the Jews would continue until the last Gentile who was; wait, let me post it here Starting verse 24 thru verse 26.:
"24 For if you were cut from a wild olive tree, and contrary to nature were grafted into one that is cultivated, how much more readily will these, the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree! 25 I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers, so that you will not be conceited: A hardening in part has come to Israel, until the full number of the Gentiles has come in. 26 And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written: “The Deliverer will come from Zion; He will remove godlessness from Jacob.…
Berean Study Bible.
In other words, because of the previous state of the Jewish people of Israel and their prior relationship/dependence and worship of YAHWEY, They will be much more able to become a part of the Body of Christ (The Olive Tree Originally). They believed (Jews first as disciples of Jesus) and then after the ascension into Heaven by the Son of God all who are gentiles were added into the Godly Body of Jesus Christ. The Anointed One who came to take away all of the sin of mankind, no matter where they lived, believed or had behaved as. No conceit because we should all recognize that nothing except the Blood of Jesus Christ has made any of us acceptable to YAHWEY our Glorious ABBA FATHER! The hardening part has allowed us all to be acceptable during this very incredible era of the Church Age.
I have done some grafting of different species of plants, trees and even chickens in the past ages (seems like it to me) and some times the outcome was horrible and sometimes very beautiful. Lets all hope and pray that we are all of that last group who can rise above the disaster trying to take place right now on this earth and not fall any further than we already have in our outlook on current people, places AND situations. It is so very hard at times that I could easily just pull the plug and become a recluse of sorts. I doubt it would last very long though.

IN CHRIST is the answer because that is the ANOINTING AND HIS ANOINTING. Authority and power that is vested in Jesus at the Right hand of God Almighty and in us by way of transmitting IN CHRIST. ?????
ReplyDeleteBy way of the Holy Spirit, this is how anything we ask of Him will be done within His will. He knows of our each and everyone of our asks before we do. Omnipotence, Omnipresence and Omniscience.
DeleteWhen we pray for things we also thank Him for them - in advance because He's waaay ahead of us.
GG5,
ReplyDeleteThat's right, and Paul's Spirit-fed word here is a reiteration of Deuteronomy 29:4 as well as Isaiah 29:10. Yes, this has been discussed here many times, so much so that it's a bit of a staple, just as our Lord Jesus' own prophetic words that John 5:43 records of how the Jews of Israel will receive the Antichrist and honor him as Mashiach.
I believe the sealing of the 144,000 and the arrival of the Antichrist are very close in temporal proximity, that it as the very start of the 70th week of years. The Jews must accept Jesus as Messiah/Redeemer just as we gentiles do to have sin covered by His shed blood. This is what the 144,000 do, they accept Jesus, God pours out His Spirit on "all Israel" and they are saved and embark on their mission to bring the gospel to millions upon milliom in the 70th week of years.
Sean,
ReplyDeleteYou said it so eloquently and so very right! I love having you and who gather here as my friend, co-believer and Brother in Christ that I could do a waltz right now but hubby would be wondering “what is she so excited about at this time of the nite.”?SHAL
I love the the way so many scriptures are really coming so alive to all of us now?”
GG5/SHALOM
Sean,
ReplyDeleteRight on the mark and like you, I do definitely believe that a great shout from the Lord is very shortly coming and my prayers are still that they will not continue in their rebellion against God Almighty and HIS SON.
Can't get it said like I need to but the burden is not light and the days are so short for their salvation to be realized and received.

Israel hit IRGC-QF and Hezbollah sites very hard opposite the Golan towards Dara'a. Reports say artillery fire from Syria has hit the Golan. Watching to see how this develops in conjunction with the expected Gaza operation.
ReplyDeleteThe myth of an EU world-class military force has been exposed due to the tanker crisis with Iran in the Gulf. The UK doesn't have the sea power to do what's necessary. Germany has no surface warfare fleet; their frigates have very poor anti-air capability. As a whole the UK desire for an EU force to deploy has died before it really began.
ReplyDeleteThe US has the only viable force projection capability around, so any major military campaign against Iran in the Gulf will have America in the lead.
This adds confirmation that the U.S. military will be the power behind the antichrist during the the last week(7 yrs)of Daniel's prophesied seventy sevens.
DeleteYes sir, my point exactly.
DeleteWe are seeing foreshadowings of what the US will become post-Harpazo all the time these days.
I agree, you can see total depravity in all categories of life when the restrainer is removed. They will rejoice at the bride of Christ's harpazo. They will think casting off God's yoke of rule and justice will free them only to be enslaved by the antichrist.
DeleteBy the way... totally destroying underground Iranian nuclear sites without the use of tactical nuclear weapons is not possible.
ReplyDeleteJust curious, Sean, do you think either the US or Israel would have the political will to use tactical nukes on Iranian sites considering the automatic and assured backlash from the international community?
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't have any problem with it, myself, as long as it was as limited as it needed to be in order to get the job done. But I can see how it could have devastating repercussions on the world stage, politically speaking.
Jonathan,
DeleteWhat does Jeremiah 49:34-39 prophesy about the people of Elam and where they would go?
ETA:
ReplyDeleteWhen I said "I'd be fine with it," I hope it went without saying that such an option should be used only if there was NO OTHER POSSIBLE WAY to prevent Iran getting Nuclear Weapons.
May God bless the genius of Israel for creating StuxNet.
Nukes haven't been used in warfare (as far as I know) since 1945, and there are many treaties we are signatories to that we would have to break. Not so sure about Israel.

But under the rulership of the antichrist governing the 10 nations coalition, it will change dramatically, he will build up a great European Army. Just like what Adolf Hitler did in Nazi Germany, so the antichrist will do that in 'Nazi Europe'.
Moin,
DeleteNot European per se, but WESTERN.
Hi Sean, thanks for your response. I was generally familiar with that verse but reread it several times now with greater determination. I know how things are going to go, based on God's prophetic scripture, but I still want to know, because you have a better grasp on these things, that (pretending God doesn't exist (foolish, I know)), do you think the US or Israel would actually have the political will to use tactical nukes against Iran's nuclear sites.
ReplyDeleteMy guess, is that we won't. However, I think Israel will do whatever it needs to survive.
I think certain events, like the destruction described in the Ezekiel 38 war, will be handled DIRECTLY by God. But God also uses people to achieve his goals in other circumstances. I am not stating any opinion on what is going to happen... I truly don't know.
But because you are a military specialist, I was just wondering what your thoughts of concerning whether either two countries (The US or Isreal) would have the political will to use a nuke.
As always, thanks, and keep up the great work.
Did God allow Hiroshima and Nagasaki to take place? He did. It changed the course of history. He is in total control.
DeleteIt's not our will, it's His.
Dear Sean,
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry for posting this in this SITREP. But I am calling on all my Brothers and Sisters for prayer.
We just got a call that my wife's Oncologist needs to see her right away after having her routine Ct Scan for her Lymphoma.
Please....keep my wife Sylvia in your prayers.
I know this sounds selfish....I just wish we were outta here soon. But things just seem to be slowing down again.
I'm scared my Brethren:(
Brother Frank
I will be praying with you my brother.
DeleteBrother Frank,
DeleteOnly the Lord knows the future. As in my response above, His will is done, but He does for us as we ask. So all of our prayers are for your wife and you. No fear, only faith and trust in Him. Everything in His hands.
Praying for our Brother Frank,
ReplyDeleteI am promising you my prayers for your wife to be completely covered in the power and glory of God Almighty and for your empowering to overcome all the fiery darts of the enemy! I have been in your shoes and terrified beyond anything ever before but Abba Father took over and WE WIN because of Who Heis!
GG5/SHALOM,SHALOM
Frank,
ReplyDeletePraying and will continue to pray for healing for your wife Sylvia.
Justin
Holding off on the full update to let events take their course...
ReplyDeleteIn the meantime, the IDF has expanded their preemptive strike operations against Iran (IRGC-QF) from Syria into Iraq.
Two strikes in eastern Iraq in this month have done fairly serious damage to IRGC-QF war materiel stocks and killed many enemy combatants, including officers.
"By way of the Holy Spirit, this is how anything we ask of Him will be done within His will. He knows of our each and everyone of our asks before we do. Omnipotence, Omnipresence and Omniscience.
ReplyDeleteWhen we pray for things we also thank Him for them - in advance because He's waaay ahead of us."
Amen! Such a balm to my heart to think about this! Especially fits the case when we pray for our loved ones and for all the people who are dear to us both for healing and most importantly for their salvation!
As a brother in Christ said it, one of the Lord's greatest specialties is to SAVE!
(The sun shines, birds are chirping, fishermen fish, singers sing and Jesus saves! :-)
Brother Frank,
ReplyDeleteA verse I have been meditating on of late is Isaiah 26:3: " You will keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed on You, Because he trusts in You". Looking at the Hebrew meaning of perfect peace, we get the words "Shalom Shalom". This is the peace of God...not of the world. We, your brothers and sisters lift you and Sylvia up...and pray you keep your minds steadfast on Him, and he will give you His Shalom peace. We pray for a good report, and healing.
Sean, been spending time on the will of God these days. Thank you for that question on Hiroshima and Nagasaki....totally on point. Yes, He is in total control of the seemingly out of control. Praise God in the storms of our lives.
Blessings,
LD
