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.

Global SITREP G1-21: Liberty in Distress

23 September 2021: Liberty is in distress, and not just here in the United States, but in a bunch of other places around the world that are or were, at least nominally, established upon Judeo-Christian (i.e. Biblical) values and morals. Many of these places use the Cross of Christ, in one form or another, as a national symbol in their flags. Now this is not really new news to anyone except the most extreme hermits, but it's now more pronounced than ever before with the Global Oligarchy seemingly going for broke to establish their version of a CCP-directed "New World Order." It's also being referred to as "the Great Reset."

I thought things here in the US were bad and pretty much, as expected, since 2016 and the election of Donald J. Trump as the American president. But then came a gross of email links to video's from The Land Down Under. Every last one contained examples of Aussie police and others in military uniforms brutalizing folks just standing in a transportation station, on a town sidewalk or voicing opposition to draconian rules in an exercise of freedom of expression. 

One unlucky fellow nearly had his skull cracked open like an egg by a cop who came from behind and body slammed him onto a tile floor. Another series of videos details how an assembly of men, women and children were gathered around the national Shrine of Remembrance were charged at in tactical fashion by black-clad police firing rubber bullets from shotguns. Those rubber bullets can permanently maim if not kills anyone hit in the head. And they use these tactics against law abiding citizens? These kinds of videography are what might be expected if someone living in the Thlipsis/Megas Thlipsis could transmit the images back through time - if that were possible. These images do mesh well with prophetic Scripture about that coming time.

In Sweden (and other places) there are biochips being implanted in the hands of some folks. It's true that these numbskulls took these devices voluntarily, but the point is the technology for biochip deployment globally exists and is in active use today! This is another in the series of Indications and Warnings (I&W) of the season in which we live, and that means we need to be looking up 24/7/365 these days! Perhaps today!

Now, regarding Biden's Folly in Afghanistan, if anyone truly believes that the Taliban will reject and renounce global jihad there are bridges for sale in their southern desert for sale cheap, so get yours today! There is zero change, nay, less than a zero chance that the Taliban (literally: "students of knowledge") will turn against Al Qaeda or Islamic State or any other jihadist groups. Afghanistan will now become, and probably already is, a very well armed and financed base for global jihad. 

The so-called Long War, thanks to Joe Biden and Company, just got a lot longer. More will be murdered in cold blood, many in mass casualty attacks. That's just the unvarnished truth about what will be. Promises made to turn over a new leaf were nothing more than al-taqiyya, dissimulation, intended to deceive those who'd accept such promises. On the other hand, the Trump Administration made crystal clear that any breach of an agreement with respect to an American military disengagement from Afghanistan, any return to the former Taliban practices of the 1990s would result in a bombardment like the world had not seen before, with the first bombs landing on Sheik Baradar and his Talib cohorts wherever they hid. It would have happened. Thanks to Bloody Joe all that is now water under the proverbial bridge. He should have been impeached for it and other National Security failures such as our southern border crises.

However, to cover all bases there are a few hopeful signs. These are signs of the evil ones perhaps biting off more than they can swallow, so to speak. There's a secular report at Townhall about how in the US the "trick" being pulled by the Left may not work as planned. 

There is also an under current of good news, such as Mike Lindell and his team of forensic experts getting to present their findings of rampant election fraud in  the November 2020 election in ALL of the so-called closely contested states' to the Supreme Court of the United States. Trump won them all and by a lot! According to Mike, "Our evidence is 100%... We went to the Attorney Generals of several red States and presented our evidence. We (will) take our CASE to SCOTUS before Thanksgiving." 

Then there's the Durham highly detailed, all the ducks in a row, investigation that has several cases seeking indictments lined up before a federal grand jury. Hillary Clinton's lawyer Sussmann has been indicted, and there are more coming. Folks like Page, Strok, McCabe, Comey and other much bigger fish are on Durham's yet to be indicted list.  Little of this is reported by MSM, and what is reported is spun to near unrecognizability. Eschatology Today as excellent backchannel sources.

In all, and as always, God is in complete control. This is to get developments to you that might not be seen by some in normal web surfing or chatting with friends. There's more coming, but validation or corroboration needs to happen first, then the beans get spilled!

Marana'tha!

Global SITREP F10-21: A Departure

The Departure

10 September 2021: Due to recent events of the past nearly three weeks this SITREP was temporarily delayed. It can be delayed no longer and why this SITREP's posting is occurring at zero dark thirty this morning.

Back on 24 August our brother, frequent reader and commenter jmoll106 sent word of a teaching he'd recently heard delivered by Dr. Andy Woods. This was a three-part teaching on the topic of II Thessalonians 2:3 that was delivered in September 2020. As a direct result of Andy Woods teaching you will notice that the Scripture link takes you to the 1599 Geneva Bible translation. This is the correct translation of that Spirit-breathed verse, the bolding has only been added for the due emphasis on one word.

Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a departing first, and that that man of sin be disclosed, even the son of perdition.

The link embedded within Dr. Andy Woods name above will take you an invaluable library of his teachings on the Scriptures. And this link - Dr. Andy Woods The Rapture Sermon Series 20. Explaining Apostasia in 2 Thess. 2-3a - Part3 - will take you to the audio recording of Part 3 of the teaching series. This teaching will give you new understanding that the Greek word Apostasia is not referring to the apostasy or the apostate church of these last days, but instead and correctly to the physical departure of the bride (body) of Christ (the true Church of Christ) in the event we've long known here as the Harpazo, and also as the Rapture, and in the Hebrew Old Testament as Laqach. 

This is not baby's milk teaching. No, this is real meat and potatoes sustenance teaching about the Word and the how and why there is to this day confusion over the meaning of this particular verse that Paul was inspired by the Holy Spirit to write.

I believe our Departure is imminent. Marana'tha!

Global SITREP F9-21: KA-BOOM!!

09 September 2021: As a follow up to "SITREP F8-21: BOOM!" we now move on to the insanity that follows the utilization of a nuclear weapon. A virtual nuke is akin to the after effects of the Biden Administration's "contingency plan" failures in Afghanistan, and of which they are resembling more and more with each passing day. Not only is there immense kinetic destruction with a nuclear detonation (i.e. the heat in the form of thermal radiation, firestorms and the blast wave), but there are also other factors, such as Electro-Magnetic Pulse (EMP) and radioactive fallout in the form of the several by-products of nuclear fission, gamma rays, et cetera, et cetera. Therefore, this SITREP is the first attempt at the KA-BOOM!! that is now in progress.

Number one, and most obvious, is that our current POTUS' cognitive state is such that he's becoming more child-like with each passing day; he has handlers in the White House who in-turn are taking direction from unseen and un-elected personages, but who are not completely unknown as they are from the administration of POTUS number 44. He is also the recipient of the strongest medication available for the debilitating effects of dementia. That medication, as with many medications has some significant side effects. So, America, we do not have a normally functioning presidency, but a presidency by committee of far-left ideologues. 

These are people, generally unqualified for the positions they hold, who do not have our best interests or moral compass as standard equipment. They inhabit cabinet positions throughout the Executive Branch of our government. We call this the "Deep State." Eschatology Today has previously referred to them as the "Global Oligarchy." Either terminology is extremely appropriate., as they are in lock-step with the goal of established and making the rump of the USA an integral part of the coming "beast empire" found throughout Scripture. They're just getting started, but have made great strides in less than eight months.

Turning to Israel. How many weeks remain until Iran has their nuclear weapon? At least count, approximately four weeks. This is another of the fall-out disasters in progress from the virtual nuke the Biden Administration dropped. The feckless weakness and groveling appeasement before the Iranian Twelver mullahs in begging them to return to the dead JCPOA is now legendary. 

What did the mullahs see in Biden's Afghanistan morass that would give them any pause as the prior Trump Administration had done? Iran saw Islamic State devastated in Iraq and Syria; their wannabe caliph al-Baghdadi assassinated by American Special Forces with their war dog Conan in his face in his home. They saw the same in the assassination of Usama Ibn Laden in Abbottabad, Pakistan, and they saw their venerated IRGC Quds Force terrorist General Soleimani be done in by a Hellfire missile from a Predator drone. Prior to that it was the same with Hezbollah's master terrorist Imad Fayez al-Mughniyeh in downtown Damascus. Israel didn't get him, the U.S. did.

So, now Israel has an unreliable ally in Biden's Amerika. They have to deal with an Iranian nuke program, now led by a Twelver radical president, Ebrahim Raisi, that can be literally counted down in days instead of weeks. I think we can take a well-educated guess at what happens pretty soon as Israel cannot live with a nuclear-armed Iran for even one day.

Turning to Afghanistan. It is now being reported by outstanding inside sources that the former primary American and NATO bastion at Bagram Air Base has been fully occupied by infantry troops from the People's Liberation Army (PLA) of Communist China. How many millions did Joe and Hunter get rewarded for this betrayal? And those American's Biden stranded in Kabul and Mazar-i-Sharif airfields, it will be a miracle if any more of them get out alive because the Deep States doesn't care one iota. Consider this. Tens of thousand of Americans have died and will continue to die because of a wide open southern border where drugs, weapons and criminals have overwhelmed our former tight border security. So, what chance do a few hundred to a thousand in Americans abandoned in Afghanistan have for survival? Only the chance to escape provided by former American and allied Special Forces and certain private efforts. Neither Biden, Deep State or Blinken-Wink-AndaNod give a hoot about their fate. 

The identity of the IS-Khorasan suicide bomber who killed 13 of our bravest Marines and Navy personnel at the gate to HKIA airport in Kabul was known in advance by the intelligence with the US DoD. He was also identified and spotted while enroute through the streets of Kabul for his suicide mission. Pleas for permission to fire on him with an on-station, Hellfire-armed Predator drone was denied by Blinken-Wink-AndaNod due to ongoing "negotiations" with the Taliban terrorists. These details are the true back-story of why the urgent messages were sent out prior to the suicide bombing - they knew who he was, and they knew the general timing of the strike, and they knew where it would occur, and then they saw him go into execution mode for the strike, but refused to act because of talks with other terrorists who allowed the bomber to pass through their many checkpoints. Our current government has zero credibility and zero legitimacy at this point. Will there be a reckoning?

This will be continued, no doubt about it. 

Marana'tha!
