UPDATED 14 August 2025: The Yesha Council of 19 community leaders in Judea and Samaria have called on PM Netanyahu to apply full Israeli sovereignty over Judea and Samaria by Sunday, 17 August 2025.
A new, unified committee made up of the various and increasingly numerous Jewish groups ascending the Temple Mount has been created. This unified committee will see to all needs and issues of Jews on the Temple Mount and coordinate ascents with the police.
In Lebanon the terrorists of Hezbollah have fully reneged on the stipulations of the ceasefire agreement and now openly threaten the Lebanese government by refusing to disarm.
At this point the true bride of Christ is consistently seeing prophetic fulfillments on a day to day basis. The "news of the day" is full of such reports, be they precursory or foreshadowings. This, in and of itself, is also highly prophetic and so stated explicitly in I John 2:18...
"Little children, it is the last hour; and as you have heard that the Antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come, by which we know that it is the last hour."

This is a breaking news item.
ReplyDeletePresident Trump will meet face-to-face with Russian President Vladimir Putin at JBER (Joint Base Elendorf-Richardson), Alaska at 11:30 AM local.
ReplyDeleteAfterwards a joint US-Russian delegation working lunch session is scheduled to occur.
Depending on the outcome of these talks there will be a press conference with Trump alone or with Putin.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy is not attending this summit.
any update on how it went? - Jon Hartman
DeleteWithout Ukraine (Zelenskyy) there was never a chance for a peace agreement in a bilateral summit between the US and Russia. There was also no indication of a meeting between Putin and Zelenskyy.
DeleteTrump "the peacemaker" has, at least temporarily, gotten peace agreements made between Armenia/Azerbaijan, India/Pakistan, and Thailand/Cambodia, but Ukraine/Russia still eludes him.
There is also a strong push towards US and EU security guarantees, like NATO Art. 5, but without Ukraine officially joining NATO or the EU.
DeleteSomething will compel Russia (hooks!) to be turned southwards. We all know what that is, and it's on the horizon.
Sean, we monitor ET daily. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteThanks William! It's my mission to be a watchman.
DeleteThe Druze in As-Suweida, Syria are now demanding independence from the Damascus islamist regime. They're flying multi-colored Druze flags side by side with Israel's 'Star of David.' This is directly related to Isaiah 17 fulfillment.
ReplyDeleteStill getting my head around the sheer breakneck speed at which things are moving. Even though it has been foretold in Scripture and therefore to be expected; it is still astonishing to observe first-hand.
DeleteGrowing up in the 60s and 70s, things moved along comparatively sedately. Not any more. Bro. Steve.
Bro Steve,
DeleteJust as it was for the flood of Noah's day, so too is the flood of these 'last days' proceeding at its God-determined pace.
Cross-country protests in Israel. Water cannons operating in Jerusalem, Tel Aviv and other places. Hundreds arrested.
ReplyDeleteJust sayin', but the last time Israel appeared this divided the islamists attacked on October 7, 2023.
So now those who are watching closely can see clearly how even the Israeli media was led around by the ring in their nose concerning the protests in Israel today...
DeleteAt the end of the day it was much ado about nothing, as 10,000 protesting leftists held no sway whatsoever over the more than 9 million Israelis who support their elected government.
Yesterday at the Yesha Council meeting PM Netanyahu did not apply sovereignty to Judea and Samaria as was hoped.
ReplyDeleteThe sovereignty hope has apparently been watered down to just applying sovereignty to all the open areas of Judea and Samaria - excluding the PA villages.
Politics as usual. (Restraint may be a two-way street until the appointed time.)
“Restraint may be a two way street until the appointed time”… wow. I have not truly thought of it like that before, but I have no problem with seeing that it is a possibility. My husband and I often note that the things which seems as though they should have happened multiple times over the past few years but don’t, are evidence (to us) of the Restrainer hard at work. It fills me with renewed anticipation, as I continue to watch closely for the return of my Savior. Come Lord Jesus.
ReplyDeletePrecisely my thought. I realized that Israel, largely still in disbelief, has also been restrained from achieving an overwhelming military victory since October 7. Ezekiel 28:24 enemies have yet to be defeated. So, a God-appointed time appears to be necessary.
DeleteHey Sean, we are thankful you're a Watchman, and a great one, at that. It still haunts me when you once said , "I'm all alone on this blog." That's not truth - you're not alone! God is walking with you. And don't underestimate the gratitude and love all of us in this blogspot family have for you, your dedication to us and our Savior - researching, vetting, and reporting what matters, (according to scripture) so that we can be encouraged and informed. I pray for you often, and even your son working and fighting fires out east. And I'm sure many others in this site's family do, too.
ReplyDeleteIn respect to your last comment, here is a link to an article by Terry James regarding the Restrainer. For a blind man, he his sight is better than most Christians with eyes that work. God Bless you, dear Brother, and keep marching. 🙏🙏🙏
https://terryjamesprophecyline.com/2025/08/17/gods-chain-restraining-end-times-tyrants/
Actually, the "alone" comment meant that since 2009 it has been myself alone (inspired by the LORD) doing all the things you mentioned that are necessary.
DeleteAnd thanks for the Terry James link. We communicated a few years back about the fulfillments now taking place.
God willing, the best is yet to come here!
Reports say columns of IDF Merkava tanks under attack chopper air cover are advancing on Gaza City.
ReplyDeleteOnly mention of this that I've seen is the Daily Mail . No surprise there . https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-15020223/Israel-begins-invasion-Gaza-City-calling-60-000-reservists-Palestinians-flee.html
DeleteTommy W
Confirms what has been posted here in recent days, except for the Daily Mail rubbish about IDF attacks on civilians.
DeleteHAMAS and PIJ are embedded among Gaza City muslim civilians, use them as willing human shields. They know where hostages are. Should be classified as enemy non-combatants at the minimum.
Note to all: Been aware for some time of an unprovable claim that Harpazo may occur on the Feast of Trumpets 2025 (Sept. 24, 2025). Unprovable means not worth mentioning here because it may be a false claim.
ReplyDeletethank you for ignoring that claim. such foolishness and sensationalism only brings harm to the body of Christ. you ignoring such foolishness is precisely what i stuck with this blog as long as I have. Let's stick to the scriptures. - Jon hartman
DeleteAmen, Mags. We must not grow weary in doing good. I have had to internalize the promises of God that He is not slow or delayed in His return for no reason, but for the GREAT and MERCIFUL patience that He has towards the lost, not willing for any to perish but all to come to repentance. I want to see His face. Every morning I tell Him so, and then He seems to flood my mind with more and more names of loved ones and acquaintances that would be left here if He came in that moment. Lord, help me want what You want, which is the salvation of souls to your great Kingdom. And help me trust You to come on the Day that You appointed At the dawning of Creation.
DeleteI have read that no one knows the day or the hour is an idiom which jews would have understood as referring to the feast of trumpets as it begins when the new moon is sighted and because of cloud cover etc this may be delayed.If so though this takes away from imminiency. Still I will look up on the 23/24th.It would be great to go home,but we must stand our ground until the Lord comes doing all He has ordained for us.The harvest is still coming in.

Just prior to His ascension into Heaven from the Mount of Olives, Jesus made two statements to His disciples.
ReplyDeleteThe first was:
(Acts 1:7) And He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has put in His own authority."
And the second was:
(Acts 1:8) "But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”
An M7.5 earthquake in the Drake Passage between South America and Antarctica this morning was followed soon afterward by M5.1 and M5.0 quakes. All three quakes were at a depth of 10km.
ReplyDeleteThe IDF has begun issuing evacuation orders to civilians in municipalities around Gaza City. Today residents of Jabaliya were ordered to move southwards.
ReplyDeleteEgypt is absolutely opposed to the IDF's imminent assault, conquest and occupation of Gaza City.
ReplyDeleteA headline/article on Fox News this morning grabbed my attention, regarding a US brokered peace agreement between Armenia and Azerbaijan. I know this has been cooking for a while, (possibly since Trumps first administration?) but it’s kind of stunning to see it actually described by Fox. Considering the location of the disputed territories (Nagorno-Karabakh) are on Irans northern border, it feels like there’s some significance here. The article went on to describe the future plans for economic development and possible military bases for the US in the area. I can’t imagine that would make Russia or Iran very happy with us at all.
ReplyDeleteAzerbaijan has a border with Iran to the south, and the Russian Federation to the north.
ReplyDeleteNagorno-Karabakh, a region wholly within Azerbaijan and formerly populated by Amenians, was conquered by Azerbaijan in 2023 after the 2020 ceasefire brokered by Putin collapsed.
Earthquakes in diverse places.
ReplyDeleteLooking at USGS data there is so much more than just noting the large magnitude earthquakes.
It's also important to note that earthquakes are virtually non-stop on a global scale, (diverse places!) with the interval between their occuring being mere seconds to several minutes.
The IDF continues to execute precision strikes against Hezbollah personnel and infrastructure in numerous locations throughout Lebanon.
ReplyDeleteThroughout the Gaza Strip the tempo of IDF combat operations against HAMAS and PIJ is unrelenting, unforgiving and extremely lethal.
