Global SITREP F5-21: 2021 Finale

 

There had better not be even one Christian unaware
of what this little devise is and/or will become.

21 December 2021: This is the Eschatology Today finale SITREP for 2021. In this we'll look at how the dominoes are lined up and we'll recap what has been posted recently, but will now be doubled-down on.

First off, we have the double-down on what has been variously nomenclatured as Transhumanism, Human Augmentation, Human Digitization, COVID Passport - which all mean or are leading to the same thing every true Christian must know about from Revelation 13:15-17.  Most regular readers will recall this is a double-down on Global SITREP F2-21: COVID-19 as the Globalist Means to Their Objective and its comment section where much of what follows here was noted in that SITREP. However, there is more to inform about. 

This is sourced from a report found on The Conservative Treehouse by a writer known by the pen name "Sundance." This report contains a one-minute forty-two second video showing the implant biochip in use by citizens of Sweden. This, I believe, is a good witnessing tool for us to use to illustrate to the unsaved we all know the inerrant accuracy of Bible prophecy. Does the Bible explicitly say the 'Mark of the Beast" is the size of a single grain of wild rice? No, but in order to place the mark comfortably in the right hand or forehead it will of necessity have to be small, easily inserted, and pack the kind of high technology we see demonstrated in the embedded video. In many countries around the world you cannot fly without this type of "passport." There are voices in the US Congress who are saying we should not be able to fly on American aircraft within this country without such a "passport." And as noted previously, adding financial capability is already in the works.

Moving into the final week of 2022 there are, as we're all well aware, several hot-spots which are fully expected to boil over, possible this week or just around the corner in 2022. They are all equally dangerous and in one way or another have profound prophetic meaning or direct fulfillment. 

The ongoing nearly 8 year old Russia-Ukraine War could quickly become a Russia-EU or Russia-NATO war preceding the Ezekiel 38/39 war. Even if just the NATO Baltic states of Lithuania and Poland come to the active defense of Ukraine a Russian retaliation against them would trigger the heart of the founding principles of the NATO Alliance: Article V Collective Defense.

NATO Article 5 Collective Defense

Simply put, an attack on one NATO ally is an attack upon all of the NATO allies as enshrined in the alliance's original Washington Treaty. Was the recent attempt by Russian and its ally Belarus an attack upon NATO? Yes, by definition it was, and the entire alliance responded to it and the Russian-Belarus axis stood down. If there are any doubt about the Western alliances capabilities and who will eventually have full control over them, look no further - once again - to Revelation 13, verse four:

"And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast, and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast! who is able to war with him!"

There's also the rising of the kings of the East who figure prophetically in both of the primary 'end of days' prophecy bookends, Daniel and Revelation. To the logically-minded, there's a good geographic reason why the kings of the East march to the west to the Middle East - there's nowhere for those kings to march towards the East. This is made very clear in Daniel 11. In Revelation the number of those marching is giving a 200 million. Note also as we have discussed before, this is during the time of darkness, when the Lord will have shaken the heavens and the Earth has been moved out of her place (Isaiah 13:13, Joel 2:31, Matthew 24:29-30, 2 Peter 3:10  and the 6th Seal of Revelation 6).

And, last but by no means least, are the many prophetic dominoes found in the Middle East which have been covered here for all of the last 12 years. These will precede Ezekiel 38/39, yet all of these are linked in a certain progression, but the will happen with such rapidity and ferociousness that the angel Gabriel described them as a flood (Daniel 9:26).

Most importantly, the imminence of our Harpazo cannot be overstated. We shall see each other on the other side of eternity. And with that final thought... Marana'tha!

Global SITREP F4-21: "I Will Turn You Around, Put Hooks in Your Jaws, and Lead You Out..." Part II

Russian T-72B3 Main Battle Tank

UPDATE 16 December 2021: It would be a completely false notion to believe that warfare is not raging in eastern Ukraine. Warfare is raging. 

A synopsis of the past 24 hours reveals hybrid formations composed of Russian Army and Donbas region rebels launched ten attacks in the Donetsk, Luhansk and Mariupol sectors yesterday which included heavy artillery barrages and other weaponry allegedly banned under the obviously failed Minsk Accords. A Russian court in the city of Kirov accidentally published a legal proceeding in which the Russian Army presence in Donetsk and Luhansk Oblasts in Ukraine was confirmed. Within hours the report was deleted by state media censors. In today's actions four more attacks on Ukrainian Army positions were launched by forces of the Russian Federation in Novoluhanske using 82mm mortars and heavy anti-tank grenade launchers. 

These attacks are designed to cause an escalation which Russia would use as an excuse for an all-out invasion by its forces along three axes into the heart of Ukraine. In order to forestall this Ukrainian troops, under the command of the Joint Forces Office in Kiev, are limiting their actions to purely defensive measures. The Ukrainians face 120,000 Russian troops with an additional 100,000 that could be deployed in the coming days or weeks. We won't know until V. Putin has completed his risk versus reward calculations if an invasion is ordered; if a full-scale invasion occurs then we'll have our answer. That point may come no later than late January 2022 according to military observers. The other option V. Putin is considering is for a slow "creeping" or low-intensity conflict which has less risk of an onslaught of sanctions from the Western Alliance that could cripple the Russian economy. 

Ukraine is not defenseless. The Ukrainian Army is now fully equipped with the formidable Oplot-M Main Battle Tank, a modernized and upgraded version of the T-84 MBT.

Finally, is there an economic link to the prophetic Russian desire to plunder Israel (foretold in Ezekiel 38/39) that is related to the increasing potential of Western sanctions? We'd be silly not to factor in this possibility.

14 December 2021: Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov announced during a video teleconference today that Russia will respond militarily and forward deploy tactical nuclear weapons to Ukraine's border if NATO continues to arm Ukraine and does not guarantee an end to its eastern expansion. Ryabkov added "there will be a confrontation" leading to the deployment of weaponry previously banned under the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty of 1987 signed by U.S. President Ronald Reagan and Soviet General Secretary Mikhail Gorbachev.

Here below are six embedded direct links to the archived Global SITREPs on the Russia-Ukraine crisis dating back to 28 March 2014 and moving forward to the updated info of 14 April 2021. These six are the essentials, but there are others in the archives. 

There was an approximately six month hiatus in overt Russian aggressive movements until last month's wholly manufactured refugee destabilization gambit on NATO's eastern border (Poland and Lithuania). The Russian offensive armor and troop build-up (including airborne troops) along Ukraine's entire eastern border with Russia also began in April 2021.

Global SITREP A10-17: News That's Not Being Widely Reported

Global SITREP B6-15: Gog of Magog On The Move

This update now must include the forward deployment of additional of Buk-M1 (9K37M1) medium-range air defense systems (NATO Name: SA-17 Grizzly) in the past 48 hours. It was a Buk-M1 system which shot down a Malaysian airliner in 2014 having mistaken it as a NATO reconnaissance mission over Ukraine. All 298 passengers on board flight MH17 from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur were murdered by the Russian military operators, many of whom were citizens of NATO countries, The Netherlands in particular. 

BUK-M1 (9K37M1)
NATO Name: SA-17 Grizzly) SAM system

Proof of Russia's culpability in the shoot-down was determined when a Buk-M1 vehicle was photographed making a hasty retreat back into Russian territory from the Donetsk town of Snizhne and missing two of its previously photographed four missile loadout. Eschatology Today is convinced the forward deployment of the Buk-M1 system is in response to the USAF flight on 11 December (last Saturday) of an RC-135W 'Rivet Joint' on an ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance) mission over Ukraine all the way from RAF Mildenhall, UK.

We learned yesterday morning that President Biden's pledge on Wednesday, 8 December of no US combat troops deploying into Ukraine was pure hogwash. The first advance movement of US troops was on the ground in Ukraine and made public knowledge yesterday morning by the left-leaning Military Times newspaper at 11:00 EST. 

What we also know and need to recall is the decision made at the 2008 NATO Summit in Bucharest, Romania. That decision was to admit the former-Soviet republics of Ukraine and Georgia into the NATO alliance. One of Russia's critical demands of NATO is to disavow that decision entirely. NATO's refusal led directly to the concocted Russian invasion of Georgia. Russia defended its invasion as military action to defend the Russian-speaking population in the Georgian oblast of North Ossetia. The exact same template of military action was used in Crimea, Ukraine, and again in the Ukrainian oblasts of Kharkiv, Donetsk and Luhansk in 2014. 

 

9 December 2021: In  the past 24 hours multiple sources of OSINT (Open Source Intelligence) have published reports of a new, overt massing of Russian Federation armored forces in strategic locations all along the Ukrainian border. This build-up is confirmed by satellite imagery. What has been most striking is that this build-up is essentially a significant reinforcing of the forces that had deployed to the border region in the spring of 2021. The new units arriving are among the best equipped and trained that Russia has to put in the field. They are also now in areas near Ukraine's border that are well away from their normal training areas in Russia. 

Additionally, some of the forward deployments this time have made their movements under cover of darkness providing these new arrivals a stealthy appearance in encampments they were not to be found previously. In response Ukraine has been deploying it own forces in an expedited manner, but acknowledges they have no real chance of halt a full-scale Russian invasion without significant air, land and seaborne direct support from NATO. In one now encampment there are 700 T-72B3 MBTs (image above) along with brigades of self-propelled howitzers, infantry fighting vehicles and short-range ballistic missiles. Even in Crimea which Russia conquered seven years ago new formations have suddenly appeared, including Russian marines of the Black Sea Fleet.

For the moment we'll hold here to see what transpires next; to see if the American resolve materializes, or if our NATO allies in Europe have to deal with a potential Russian invasion by themselves.

Global SITREP F3-21: Zero Hour - Part II

Russia's Khmeimim Air Base, Syria

UPDATE 17 December 2021:  Eschatology Today's decade-old interpretation of Jeremiah 49:34-39 indicating a coalition of nations acting against the Twelver regime's nuclear weapons program, much to the delight of Israel, is once again on the front, high-heat burner with the collapse of the Vienna negotiations. 

As became clear this past week there is no hope for a return the the all but dead 2015 JCPOA agreement whose funeral will be attended by Caolition airstrikes on Irans known nuclear sites and several others previously known only in intelligence circles or fleeting references by former Israeli PM Bibi Netanyahu.

7 December 2021: Very early in the very early hours this morning the IAF conducted a precision air strike on the port facility at Latakia. In Eschatology Today's analysis this strike could have profound repercussions for one major reason and one minor reason. 

The minor reason is the proximity of today's IAF strike to Russia's Khmeimim Air Base which lies just 5 miles southeast of the Latakia port facility. This is a very sensitive area when it comes to Israeli air strikes in Syria. Not the least of which is the IAF air strike in 2018 when wildly firing Syrian air defenses shot down a Russian patrol aircraft killing all crewmen aboard. Russia blamed Israel for causing the shootdown, characterizing its air operation as reckless endangerment of its forces in Syria. As a result the S-400 Air Defense System was deployed (see map above) to Khmeimim AB in addition to S-300, S200 and other short range air defense systems. 

The important thing here his Israel has repeatedly struck targets in Latakia port, and every one of the strikes here since 2013 has been against Iranian missile and weapons shipments destined for Hezbollah in Lebanon. Such is the case with today's air strike. A containerized shipment of missiles was recently offloaded from the Iranian cargo ship MV Artabaz which had transited directly from the Iranian port at Bandar Abbas. 

It's no secret that Russia's preference is for Iranian forces to get out of Syria. Russia has looked the other way in recent months when Israel turns Iranian weapons shipments into scrap metal within hours of their arrival in Syria. The assessment is that Russia views the Israeli strikes as serving its interest in removing Iran, and because Iran has taken advantage of the location of the base in Khmeimim to clandestinely transfer war materiel into Syria. This is the minor reason of concern.

The major reason of concern is that Syria's Foreign Minister, Faisal Mekdad, has just completed a visit to Tehran where he assured the Twelver regime that Syria would defend Iranian military forces in his country. In less than 12 hours Israel promptly put the lie to that Syrian promise, at least thus far it has, with today's strike upon Iranian missile containers on the dock at port Latakia destined for transfer to Hezbollah. Should Syria be foolish enough to make good on its promise to retaliate directly against Israel with rocket or missile strikes of its own - then this situation will take on the acutely prophetic prospect of Isaiah 17 and Jeremiah 49:23-27 fulfillment.

 5 December 2021: The details surrounding Israel's success against the Twelver regime's nuclear progress in recent months was revealed last Thursday by The Jewish Chronicle dot com.

Details can be found at TheJC website. In sum, the article reveals that a team of 1,000 Mossad analysts, technicians and many subject matter experts assisted greatly by 10 Iranian dissident scientists were responsible for the July 2020, April 2021 and June 2021 attacks on Iranian nuclear weapons facilities, chief among them the A1000 centrifuge hall at Natanz (image above). 

In the months since then Iran has restored those interrupted capabilities and now, as we've discussed recently, has embarked upon the path to breakout nuclear weapons capability by further enriching the 60% HEU to 90% weapons grade HEU. This is now apparent even to the Western nuclear negotiators in Vienna who on Friday suspended further talks with the Iranian delegation which has been playing them for fools while pushing hard to manufacture their nuclear weapons.

What is also clear is that prophecy found in Jeremiah 49:36 where the  prophet quotes the Lord saying "Against Elam (Iran) I will bring the four winds from the four corners of heaven..." Eschatology Today has long interpreted this phrase to indicate coalition warfare against the Iranian nuclear threat, and still ultimately hold to that interpretation. 

However, as TheJC article makes very clear Israel has embedded in Iran a very large and capable force which has been repeatedly assaulting Iranian nuclear activities for two years with more and greater assaults coming in 2022. In this Israel has surrounded Iran nuclear prize from within Iran itself; the Israeli and Iranian dissident cohort has struck from every direction on the compass.

The coming attack, either this month or next in 2022 will be a full-scale assault at the heart of Iran's nuclear program. With the Vienna talks halted, and as we've stated recently, their is nothing further to restrain finishing the job of denuclearizing the mullahs in Tehran. We've hinted at this for some time now and perhaps you'll recall past SITREP'S that spoke of the new IDF military doctrine known as Israel Victory. Well, Israel Victory has now come to Iran in a way few imagined. 

The Iranian regime is frightened, and to not expect them to lash out with their proxies in Syria, Hezbollah, HAMAS in Gaza and Judea and Samaria and even in Yemen simply makes no sense. They will lash out in a desperate attempt to salvage the Shi'a eschatology from certain oblivion. That lashing out will without question trigger the full-assault the IDF has been preparing for these past months, with or without allied military participation.

There will be updates to this SITREP, probably sooner rather than later.

Marana'tha!

Global SITREP F2-21: COVID-19 as the Globalist Means to Their Objective

27 November 2021: This SITREP has been a long time coming. In fact the subject of COVID-19 as the Globalists Means to their end objective - a totalitarian global government - has been a work in progress for nearly all of the 21st century thus far. It began as an idea, a final solution, if you will, and now has become their vehicle to achieve their goal. That goal you will recognize as coming straight from The Apocalypse (Revelation) of Jesus Christ, chapter 13, verses 16-17.

He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

With images being worth a thousand words, Here are three that if you read them closely will go a very long way in explaining both the title of this SITREP and how they invoke the above Divine prophecy from God, to Jesus to John on Patmos.

 

Irish Newspaper from 2011

Close up which can be enlarged.

However, as will now be presented, depopulation of planet Earth is not the Globalists evil goal. As stated, this is a decades-long project and their have been several phases from 2005 to the present.

Read each carefully, Note that we are just 3 phases or steps from the goal.

So, here we are in Phase 9 in the above graphic, which can also be enlarged for your further study. I believe the message has been received loud and clear, zero ambiguity. We're close, brothers and sisters, because I believe none of the bride of Christ we be subject to the forced implanting of biochips that will completely control what people ban by or sell, or even participate in what will soon be daily life routines unless they have "the mark the name of the beast or the number of his name."

Global SITREP F1-21: The Next War Will Be The Psalm 83 Finale War

24 November 2021: For nearly a full twelve years Eschatology Today has been keyed to the the Psalm 83 war scenario as a paradigm shifting event. The major domino to fall in a series of rapid events on the proverbial Road to the Revelation of Jesus Christ, a/k/a the '70th Week of Years.'

The sum of this prophetic scenario is the combination of Psalm 83 and its parallel prophecies by Isaiah (11:12-14) and Ezekiel (28:24-26) as well as Isaiah 17 and Joshua 13:1-7. To these we also add Jeremiah 49:23-27 and Jeremiah 49:34-39. All of these should be read as being part of a whole prophetic narrative to be fulfilled prior to the '70th Week of Years' which we also know as the Thlipsis and Megas Thlipsis (Tribulation and Great Tribulation). These prophecies are kinetic warfare enabled by the technology of the 21st century. These are lightning-quick missile warfare.

There is a member of the Israeli Knesset from the Likud by the name of Nir Barkat. He spoke today at a conference held at Reichman University in Herzliya, Israel. Eschatology Today views statements he made there as being a very precise summation of the prophetic scenario about to be fulfilled in the near-term as has been discussed on this blog over the course of the past twelve years.

"In the next attack, with missiles coming from Lebanon, this will not be the Third Lebanon War, this will be the First Iran War. I think we are not properly assessing the threat coming from Iran that plans to act against us in six arenas: The Lebanese, the Gazan, the long-range missiles, the attempt to establish itself in Syria, Judea and Samaria and there is also a new threat from home - some residents of the State of Israel." 

MK Nir Barkat continued with, 

"The Iranian conventional threat requires us to rethink how we not only harm Lebanon when we are attacked by the Iranian proxy sitting in Lebanon, but how we harm Tehran. So that when the Iranians in Tehran want to order Hezbollah to open fire against Israel, their voice will tremble because they will know that they themselves would be harmed in Tehran - and they are no longer protected."

That's quite a summation from the former mayor of Jerusalem of ten years (2008-2018). In the view of Eschatology Today the above quotes are prescient and descriptive in an almost peculiar prophetic yet secular sense. That may be the net result of Barkat's in-depth knowledge of modern military tactics due to his six years of service as a former elite IDF paratrooper. Major Nir Barkat was wounded during combat operations in Lebanon, and knows of what he speaks. He may also be aware of the above Old Testament prophecies as well. Whatever the case, his words have a profound resonance.

As has been stated before, any one of Israel's strikes at Iranian or Hezbollah targets in Syria could be the one which begins the toppling of the precisely arranged prophetic dominoes. There was another IAF strike in Homs, Syria mere hours ago as this SITREP began being composed. There were casualties in the strike. Eyes on continued developments, updates as they occur.

Global SITREP G10-21: IDF Defense Ministry Compromise

US B-1B Lancer and IAF F-15I "Ra'am"

21 November 2021: In the past two days news in primarily Israeli media began to emerge of a potentially massive intelligence and security breach within the private residence of Israel's Defense Minister Benny Gantz. An apparent lack of background checking by the Shin Bet security service appears to have allowed a common criminal, Omri Goren Gorochovsky, a repeatedly jailed bank robber, to work as a domestic cleaner with complete access in the Gantz residence. 

Gorochovsky, according to Shin Bet, had contacted an Iranian cyber operation known as Black Shadow (a/k/a 'Moses Staff') with an offer of classified intelligence and the installation of malware into Gantz' home computer in exchange for cash payment. The contact with Black Shadow via Telegram occurred after Israeli media openly reported on the groups attempts to penetrate Israeli security in October. It is reported that until Gorochovsky's discovery by Israeli counter-intelligence his access and activities inside the Gantz private residence had been continuous since April 2019. Now it appears, as one might expect, a cover is being laid over the three years of Gorochovsky's spying activities, the full extent of which might not ever be revealed.

Considering all that has taken place in Israel, and in its relations with the US, and pending almost certain military action against the Iranian nuclear program as the above image attests, the incredible damage that have occurred in the revealing of classified planning for such a strike, the nations involved and details of the same are incalculable. It is also recalled that Gantz' personal cellphone was hacked by Iranian intelligence in 2019. Personal details (PII) on hundreds of IDF soldiers were released, IDF deployments including that of an entire combat brigade, have also been released, so there is no question that a massive security breach had taken place. If Gorochovsky's activities are not solely responsible for this security breach, then there are other well placed moles within Israel's defense establishment. We'll see how this develops if more revelations are forthcoming.

 

Global SITREP G9-21: Polemos and Akatastasia

Artistic Depiction of Jesus' Olivet Discourse

18 November 2021: In Jesus Olivet Discourse Jesus spoke these words: "You will hear of wars and rumors of wars..." The one Koine Greek word Matthew, Mark and Luke used for "wars" is polemos. Luke went further and combined polemos with akatastasia. 

Polemos means warfare, either literally as in kinetic warfare (WWI, WWII, Iraq War, etc.) or figurative warfare. The phrase Jesus spoke "wars and rumors of wars" of the often quoted Olivet Discourse has the meaning of both kinetic and figurative war. 

The readers of Eschatology Today should be, but perhaps are not completely familiar with the terms used here over the years which constitute figurative war. Information Warfare (IW) is figurative war. It is war of a different kind, a non-kinetic or physically destructive war. Cyber Warfare (CW) is another type of figurative warfare and can be both physically destructive as well as non-kinetic disruption of computer code. There are other types of figurative war, but you get the point. 

What is occurring of late on the Poland-Belarus border is a war, at the moment it is a type of figurative war which virtually no one here is likely to be familiar with. It's also abbreviated as IW, but this IW stands for Irregular Warfare. Irregular warfare is warfare waged against the things of value or worth in a given society. In this case Vladimir Putin is waging irregular warfare on the eastern border of the EU and NATO against the heart of axiological values that Western Civilization has with regard to human life.

As the 1945 website put it a couple of days ago, "Putin’s irregular warfare (IW) playbook aims to hit the West at the heart of our axiological fabric, where values and assumptions about the sanctity of human life clash head-on with the irreducible duty of the state to provide for border integrity and security." 

Get that? It is the exact same thing that is taking place on the U.S. southern border with Mexico. What Vladimir Putin has done on the Polish border is take a page of the Deep State/Globalist playbook in its ongoing takeover of our government. Refugees are the weapons in this type of irregular warfare.

Now, getting back to Luke's Gospel, another point that it even more important to make here is how Luke presented Jesus' words about the sign of "wars and rumors of wars." Luke, the good doctor, used the educated words polemos and akatastasia. Akatastasia (ak-atastah-see'ah) has the meanings of instability, states of disorder, disturbance, confusion, tumult. 

So, as anyone can see Luke's account of this phrase within Jesus' Olivet Discourse is the most accurate in describing the big picture of the world as we know it today as a sign of the nearness of His coming, of the nearness of the Harpazo. "Wars and rumors of wars" has garnered most of the eschatological headlines over the years and is the leading phrase in books on Bible prophecy, in common use in Christian circles and on this blog as well, but as a specific response to the apostles question, "And what be the sign of Your coming and the end of the age" Luke's gospel account is the most complete, the most accurate in the meaning of the words he used: "But when you hear of wars and instability, states of disorder, disturbances, confusions and tumult..." 

Global SITREP G8-21: The Crisis in Jerusalem

The former U.S. Consulate in Jerusalem, Israel

14 November 2021: Around 5 AM this morning Eschatology Today received an Email notification from a Jewish source in Jerusalem, Israel. Briefly stated, the news is that the Biden Administration has been pressuring the Israeli government to "abandon Israel's sovereignty over the entire city of Jerusalem." To this end the Biden Administration, and Eschatology Today has been very unambiguous about who and what constitutes the "Biden Administration, plans to separate the former US Consulate General (18 Argon Street) in the city to serve as the U.S. Embassy to "Palestine." This effort has been in Israel's secular news within the past couple of days, most notably in The Jerusalem Post. 

On the surface this effort seeks to undo all that was accomplished by the Trump Administration in 2018 with the move of the U.S. Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem (14 David Flusser Street) in recognition of the 2017 U.S. declaration of Jerusalem as "the eternal and sacred capital" of the State of Israel. The functions of the consulate general were then merged into the U.S. Embassy to serve as a Palestinian Affairs Unit. Thus far the government of Israel has expressed vehement opposition to Biden-Blinken plan, and that is a good thing.

However, the godless Biden Administration and its State Department agenda to force Israel to renounce its sovereignty over Jerusalem is prophetically explosive to say the least. Zechariah 12 stands as the prophetically clear danger claxon to all concerned. But even more than that, Jeremiah 12 is indicative of the nearness of the coming deliverance of all Israel during the 70th Week of years. If you're not clear-minded about the prophecy of Jeremiah 12, now would be a very, very good time to refresh! Eschatology Today views this as a great sign for the end of the current dispensation and the brief dispensation which follows - the 7 literal years of the prophetic 70th Week of Israel. 

In whose name is Jerusalem? It is where the Lord God has placed His Name (2 Kings 21:4-7).

Global SITREP G7-21: "I will turn thee back; put hooks into thy jaws"

The Poland-Belarus Border

URGENT UPDATE 8 December 2021: As of today, the potential for a shooting war between the US/NATO and Russia has become palpable. The war would be waged in a defense of Ukraine resulting from a Russian invasion, and it could go nuclear very quickly.

10 November 2021: There have been dozens of attempts by refugees, almost certainly pushed by Belarusian forces, to breach the border throughout the day today. Additional provocations included Russia sending nuclear-capable Tu-22M3 (NATO Name: "Backfire-C") strategic bombers and MiG strike aircraft over Belarus. The flight of these aircraft clearly signaled an intent to strike deep into the European Union should hostilities erupt during this Russian manufactured crisis. 

9 November 2021: Poland has massed 12,000 of its troops on its eastern border with Belarus in anticipation of a deliberate armed escalation by Belarusian armed forces, backed by Russia. This crisis features at least 4,000 increasingly desperate migrants from the Middle East, Asia and Africa enduring sub-freezing conditions with little food or water in the forested area on the border. The migrants are being herded by the Belarussian armed forces from across the country to the common border crossing in the Grodno region. The clear objective of Belarus and Russia is to destabilize EU and NATO member nations in eastern and central Europe.

The migrants, mostly young males, entered Belarus by invitation. They may have been promised passage by the Belarusian government to travel further west into the European Union. The Belarusian tyrant, Aleksandr Lukashenko, quickly turned the migrant horde into international pawns in a power play against the European Union which enacted sanctions against Belarus over Lukashenko's fraudulent election and brutal crackdown of tens of thousands of Belarusian citizens who protested the staged election results.

Poland PM Morawiecki with Polish troops
at the Belarus border this morning

To be sure, this is an East vs West confrontation in Eastern Europe, pitting Belarus supported strongly as a sock-puppet state of the Russian Federation against the European Union and the NATO Alliance. Germany is calling upon EU member nations to fully support Poland, others are calling for invoking NATO Article V in defense of Poland's sovereignty. Migrants of this type has previously forced their way into Poland as well as fellow EU and NATO allies Lithuania and Latvia. Thus a "line in the sand" has been drawn by Poland to first defend itself from invasion and to defend the EU and NATO allies from invasion by illegal aliens.

Late yesterday came news of another migrant caravan containing women and children to exacerbate the border crisis further. These migrants are also being forced to the Polish border by armed Belarussian troops. 

This is a clear case of eastern block aggression against the western inter-related alliances, both EU and NATO. We'll watch developments closely as the title for this SITREP clearly suggests a potential relationship to events preceding the Ezekiel 38/39 fulfillment. It may also be the necessary impetus for the rapid emergence of an all-European Army for the defense of the new super state. At present, America is an unreliable ally. Also recall previous SITREPs where the ten horns are engaged in warfare with an unidentified enemy when an eleventh horn (Antichrist) suddenly rises among them according to the vision found in Daniel 7. Yes, watching this very closely indeed.

Marana'tha!

Global SITREP G6-21: Mene, Mene, Tekel, Upharsin

 

The Lesson of Daniel 5

8 November 2021: The lesson of Daniel 5 is that God has appointed a term for all kingdoms, and that a miserable end shall come on all that raise themselves against Him. Such was the fate of Belshazzar and his Babylonian kingdom that very night. And so the mene, mene, tekel upharsin (peres - Persia) that the hand of God wrote on that wall remains "the handwriting on the wall" to this very day for all nations who raise their heads against the Most Holy God. Poor Belshazzar and his kingdom did not live to see the next sunrise. Literally, he never knew what hit him and he also literally asked for it.

Are the nations today behaving in the same way as Belshazzar did in praising the false gods of gold, and of silver, of brass, or iron, wood, stone not to mention the false gods of technology and artificial intelligence? Yes and nothing under the sun ever changes. Lessons, very hard lessons are learned and within a generation, perhaps two, are lost and forgotten among the vast majority of mankind. History repeats. Ecclesiastes 1:9, as we all know very well.

Warning signs are everywhere. The foolish ignore them, the wise pay all due attention. Life today is more fragile than many realize. Recently we've mentioned the warning signs concerning a possible if not probable collapse of our distribution system, that is, the supply chain of goods and services that our so-called modern society relies upon and takes completely for granted. And if we're really paying attention now, then there are certain things we should do in all due diligence to prepare ourselves, our families and loved ones for to the best of our ability. Even the communist Chinese government is telling their people to prepare for potential hard times, and mainland China has been enduring very hard times in recent months. You name a disaster and those people have experienced it.

Now in America, as a direct result of the CCP virus and our governments draconian, mandated response to it, every day life here could very well become much, much more difficult in just a month or two. In the past couple of days the workers of a major American corporation, Procter and Gamble (P&G), created and have circulated a video warning that employees there, whether 30-years of 30 months on the job, are at risk of losing their jobs because they will uniformly refuse to be jabbed by an experimental vaccine the government is forcing upon all with OSHA mandates handed down by a tyrannical decree from the current occupant (embarrassment) in the White House. 

The P&G employees warning is that their soon to be lost lost jobs will quickly impact the lives of every American from Maine to California, Washington state to Florida because the supply chain for the product their produce day in and day out will collapse. If you require convincing, take a look at the brand name products produced by P&G. You will find many of those products in your home: baby care, laundry and cleansers, paper products and toiletries, feminine care products, men's and women's grooming products, hair care products, home cleaning and detergents, and insect repellant. Now think clearly... P&G is just one large corporation. The OSHA mandate is for every company of more than just 100 employees to comply or risk summary dismissal. How many products and necessities are truly at risk here? It's almost unfathomable! Time to go shopping?

And didn't somebody say their goal was to fundamentally transform America? Are we now beginning to understand exactly what was meant by that statement? These are scary things to be sure, but we can never forget that the Lord has promised that He will come, be sent by the Father more precisely, at a time we least expect.

Marana'tha!

Global SITREP G5-21: Israel Prepares Defenses

Israel Prepares National Defenses

 31 October 2021: This morning Israel launched a nation-wide defense exercise in preparation for expected precision missile strikes launched by Hezbollah/IRGC in Lebanon into all areas of the State of Israel. The exercise also incorporates the suppression of mass revolt within Judea and Samaria and inclusion of HAMAS/PIJ terror strikes from Gaza.

It's no surprise then that Hezbollah in Lebanon has been named as the most serious military threat facing the State of Israel according to a report published by Israel Hayom this morning. However, that's all secular news has to say about anything, and these headlines are repeated in media more times than we care to count.

What is most relevant to the study of Christian eschatology is how closely the Israeli national defense exercise going on from today through Thursday, 4 November, appears to be a vignette based upon the prophetic picture painted by Asaph in Psalm 83, as well as by Isaiah chapter 17 and Jeremiah 49 verses 23-27 and 34-39. And to these prophetic scriptures Eschatology Today has linked Joshua 13:1-7. 

Global SITREP G4-21: Fear Not

 

Chinese PLA Dong Feng (DF)-17 HGV

19 October 2021: The prophet Isaiah (41:10) wrote: "Fear not, for I am with you' be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand."

Recent media reports have suggested that none of a wide range of highly classified ground and spaceborne US sensors which detect rocket and space launches all over the globe did not detect a Chinese PLA test launch of a Dong Feng-17 allegedly equipped with a Hypersonic Glide Vehicle (HGV) this past August. Some reports say test launches just prior to and just after this particular launch were detected. 

To this Eschatology Today says hogwash. The array of US sensors are sensitive enough to detect a simple campfire, so the launch of a DF-17 MRBM (Medium Range Ballistic Missile) to place its HGV payload into low earth orbit would have been detected and tracked for the entirety of its flight. We note that proof of this is found in all of the media reports where they acknowledge the HGV missed its designated target by 24 miles. That alone proves the launch, the low earth orbit and tracking of the HGV occurred with very high precision. It is also a fact the re-entry of an HGV is actually slower than the re-entry of a conventional nuclear warhead, and those warheads are routinely tracked and impact points calculated well in advance. Nuclear interception would occur in the upper atmosphere or by other classified means.

Eschatology Today is of the educated opinion that these media reports are intended to instill fear in the American people; that we are hostages to Communist Chinese technology for which we have no answer and cannot defend against. This blatant attempt at fear mongering by Biden Administration-friendly media also is hogwash. The Communists in Beijing are well aware that any strike against US would result in their total destruction. This also reminds us of the abject nonsense pulled by C-JCS Milley during the waning days of the Trump Administration where he openly acknowledged he would provide his PLA counterpart with a heads up if we were to launch a preemptive surprise attack against the People's Republic of China.

Now for some facts the media conveniently omit in their reporting. US Intelligence has been aware and have tracked with all due interest the development of the road-mobile DF-17 and its HGV payload for the past 7 years. In 2014 the system was designated DF-ZF/Wu-14. It is also irrelevant that the DF-17 conventional and nuclear strike system is road-mobile as a launch will be detected no matter where it occurs; our sensors will detect and track the vehicle during is boost phase into orbit and then the subsequent burn necessary to de-orbit the HGV. We know the DF-17 HGV became an operational system in 2019.

As believing Christians, and for those who are not so as yet, the above Scripture from the prophet Isaiah is our assurance from the Lord that we need not fear or be dismaying by anything in the world. Marana'tha!

In other areas of our interest:

Israel: Even though we will be with the Lord at the time, we all know from Scripture that Israel will be betrayed by the nations of the Beast Empire under the Antichrist at the middle of the 70th Week of years. However, it appears even at this point in the late era of the dispensation of the Church Age dispensation that a betrayal of Israel is already in progress. 

Many of the great things President Trump did for Israel during his first term in office are on the proverbial chopping block by those persons in control of President Biden and his alleged Administration (BHO, Susan Rice, Ron Klain, etc.). The most important is the ongoing effort to open a US Consulate in East Jerusalem. This would be in keeping with the already non-starter "Two State Solution." Such a consulate would eventually be re-designated as the US Embassy in the "State of Palestine." As we just noted, this is a non-starter, but you should be aware of the effort at a minimum.

Globalism: In a bit of "good news," the current global elite attempts to establish a so-called "New World Order" is a failure in almost all of its aspects, including the one aspect most secular folks openly fear the most, the "Great Reset." Scripture, particularly the several latter chapters in the Book of Daniel (Daniel 7 and 8 especially) detail the latter days prophetic big picture as spoken by the angel Gabriel to Daniel about future events. In this dialog the rise of the 10 nations is very specific. 

The 10 nations (horns or kings) from the ancient Greco-Roman world are in no way to be considered as a "New World Order." They are 10 individual nations, or kings (horns) and they are at war with other unidentified nations of the world when an 11th "little horn" rises up among them. This is the genesis of final version of the fourth empire in the sequence noted in Daniel (Babylon, Persia, Greece, Rome and its revival). This final form will have the attributes of the four which came before it. 

Without going into much further detail as several older Eschatology Today posts have previously addressed this issue in great detail, suffice it to say that much of what the globalists are attempting to create will be used by the Antichrist and False Prophet. On top of this the dark Satanic powers will amplify what men have fashioned and use them for their own evil purposes. But it will not stand; it's lifetime measured in a finite number of months, 42 to be exact.

Lebanon: This country on Israel's northern border is teetering on the brink of yet another immensely destructive civil war. An inquiry concerning the massive explosion of improperly stored Hezbollah munitions that leveled Beirut's port in August of last year has become the straw which has broken Lebanon's back. As a result of Hezbollah wanting to stifle the inquiry into its culpability, recent firefights on the streets of Beirut have become indicative of the battle lines that have been drawn. This coming war with pit Sunni' Arabs and Maronites against the Hezbollah and Amal Shi'a militias under the patronage of Twelver Iran and Syria's al-Assad Alawite crime family. It's no great stretch of imagination or exegesis to see Israel aligning with the Sunni-Maronite alliance when it comes to the prophetic fulfillment of Joshua 13:1-7, and which Eschatology Today has long ascribed as being an integral part of the overall Psalm 83 fulfillment scenario.

How many Assyrian soldiers under the command of King Sennacherib did the angel of the Lord dispatch in a single night as the slept in the camp outside of Jerusalem? 2 Kings 19 has the details, but the number of Assyrian soldiers who did not live to see the next morning was 185,000. Perhaps the same could befall those who hate our God and our Lord Jesus, profaning His Name and comit blasphemy against His Holy Spirit? Eschatology Today believes so by faith and by the Word of God that we have in Scripture. 

Yesterday, Hezbollah's black turban wearing leader, Hassan Nasrallah, came out of hiding to give a speech in which he engaged in over-the-top braggadocio about the 100,000 soldiers under his command, as if to frighten the Sunni-Maronites and Israel, if not the 85,000-strong Lebanese national army, as if he, Hassan Nasrallah were a modern-day Sennacherib. I suggest here a reading of 2 Kings 19 is in order; Isaiah's prophecy could be repeated when the coming battle is engaged.

COVID-19 Vax and Mandates: The godless Biden Administration is now all about imposing by coercion and outright threats its unconstitutional vaccine mandates. Unconstitutional as no such authority exists for said mandates to inject experimental and unapproved vaccines with a demonstrated potential for life-threatening side effects. They've gone so far as to belittle the religious beliefs of active duty chaplains, servicemen and servicewomen seeking exemptions on religious grounds. Never before in American history has a presidential administration engaged in such horrific abuse of the armed forces of the United States. Yet they, we, will resist regardless of the punishments being promised for refusal. Even civilian contractors working for the armed forces are being coerced in the same manner - jab or get fired. 

The net result of this has become one very massive class action lawsuit against the  lawlessness of the current administration and its various executive departments.

Global SITREP G3-21: War in the WESTPAC

 

UPDATED BELOW: 7 October 2021: It's not looking good in the WESTPAC (Western Pacific). A headline and article published yesterday by DailyWaire.com: "Chinese State Media Warns U.S.: 'War May Be Triggered At Any Time' Over Taiwan." 

All pretense of even relative calm between the Communist mainland and the Nationalist democratic government on Taiwan has evaporated. The air force of the PLA have intruded within Taiwan's ADIZ (Air Defense Identification Zone) well over 150 times since last Friday, with 56 combat aircraft intruding on Monday, 4 October, just three days ago. These aggressive intrusions of PLA J-11 combat aircraft are a virtual daily occurrence and in every circumstance are they  intercepted Taiwanese Air Force F-16 fighters. The confrontations are normally brief, less than 15 minutes, but in this environment air combat could erupt and end in a first contact within seconds.

 

The Communist mouthpiece paper Global Times made clear this week that the trigger for the PLA military to bring punishment upon Taiwan's "secessionist forces" will occur, and "Time will prove that this warning is not just a verbal threat." This was followed by a Communist tweet: "Since Taiwan authorities are preparing for war, let's see whether Australia is willing to accompany Taiwan[s] separatist regime to become cannon fodder."

As we've noted previously, there is no question that Japan will act militarily in defense of Taiwan. Make no mistake, Japan is urgently preparing for war with China. The CCP response has been that it would nuke Japan in the event of Japanese intervention in "Chinese internal affairs." As for the U.S. under fully CCP-compromised President Joe Biden, the longstanding ambiguity of the Taiwan Agreement (maybe we will, maybe we won't) remains as it is.

Here are all of the ingredients necessary for tactical nuclear warfare to erupt in the WESTPAC. The question then becomes, will it remain a tactical exchange of nukes or escalate up to strategic strikes. Wars and rumors of wars.

Tsugaru Strait, Japan

UPDATE 21 October 2021: What is known in naval terms as a Joint Surface Action Group (J-SAG), this one comprised of Russian and Chinese PLA/N surface combatant ships, passed through Japan's international waterway, the Tsugaru Strait, on Monday of this week (map above). The USNI website has the report in detail from the Joint Staff of the Japanese Self-Defense Force (JSDF) in photos and data points. It is well worth your attention.

Eschatology Today will note that this Russian-Chinese J-SAG evokes the future fulfillment in Scripture found in Daniel 11:44 regarding military news from the east and the north resulting in a specific 70th Week military engagements. Nevertheless we see these same military powers acting in concert today in prologue for the future. This transit is also a direct threat to Japan with respect to the Japanese declaration of its intent to defend Taiwan in the event of Communist Chinese military action. 

Global SITREP G2-21: Has Zero Hour Arrived?

 

F-35I Adir: image by Major Ofer, Israeli Air Force 

28 September 2021: Has "Zero Hour" arrived for an Israeli preemptive strike on the Islamic Republic of Iran's nuclear weapons program? It would appear so based upon a number of factors we've been keeping tabs on, and despite the many deliberate distractions going on in the world today.

Top of the list: Israeli DF Benny Gantz made public an assessment in late July that Iran would become a "nuclear capable state" in about ten weeks time. A "nuclear capable state" has long been defined as a state which has acquired enough fissile enriched uranium to produce a working weapon. A nuclear state is one which has produced a nuclear weapon. That assessed ten week countdown has arrived at the "zero hour."

Yesterday at the U.N. Israeli PM Naftali Bennett revealed what had been highly classified intelligence collected by Israel. He stated that Israel knew Iran was producing nuclear weapons at not one central location, but in a kind of nuclear shell game, Iran has had three such sites operating: Turquzabad, Tehran and Marivan. When the Israeli preemptive strike occurs these three sites are at the top of the targeting order of battle. PM Bennett stated what PM Netanyahu has said previously, "Israel will never let Iran have a nuclear weapon."  

Turquzabad is a few minutes drive south of the southernmost districts of the Iranian capital, Tehran. Marivan is located adjacent to the Iraqi border in Kurdistan Province, Iran. 

Israel's top three generals, from IDF Chief of Staff LTG Aviv Kohavi, the new IAF Chief Gen. Tomer Bar, and Iran Command Maj.Gen. Tal Kalman, are all in lockstep on the necessity of preemptively striking Iran's nuclear program. This Israeli operation will be of such force and scope that nothing like it has ever occurred before. 

If readers will recall, this is the new strategy we've discussed before. It is known as 'Israel Victory.' Eschatology Today can best describe the coming Israeli strike on Iran as an all-encompassing, 21st century 'shock and awe' operation involving the entire Israeli military. The first notion that the strike has commenced will be when Iran literally goes dark. Israel will flip a switch and turn Iran off. This operation will stun the world, especially the inept leadership of Biden's White House and Pentagon.
