From the beginning, when we started Focus On The End Times ten years ago, we stated our support for Israel and that Scripture posits that the nation of Israel is the central catalyst in God’s timeline for the last days.
We know that is so because ‘national Israel’ is an eternal promise in Scripture running all the way through the Millennial Kingdom and onto the gates of New Jerusalem (Rev. 21:12-13), for all of eternity!
Here’s is a simple definition of ‘Zionism:’
“The belief in the return of the Jewish people to the Holy Land and the establishment of the state of Israel as a fulfillment of biblical prophecy.”
That simple concept has erupted into an American firestorm. That’s because the hour is getting late and the enemy is ramping up hatred for Israel on every hand.
Tucker Carlson recently platformed known antisemite Nick Fuentes on his podcast—where the former Fox News host seemed eager to match, if not outdo, his guest’s extreme rhetoric toward Israel and the Jewish people.
Carlson took aim at Christian Zionists—Bible believing Christians like myself—mocking our literal interpretation of Scripture as a “brain virus”: “How do you explain Mike Huckabee, Ted Cruz … who I have seen be seized by this brain virus, and they’re not Jewish. Most of them are self-described Christians. And they’re Christian Zionists.”
He went as far as to say, “I dislike them more than anybody … because it’s Christian heresy and I’m offended by that as a Christian.” Well, I suppose Carlson would loathe my existence.
I’m a Christian Zionist—and I refuse to be shamed or miscast by the notion that supporting the Jewish people and the State of Israel is some kind of virus.
Carlson’s phrase, “brain virus,” was meant to ridicule Christians who believe the Jewish people have a biblical right to self-determination in their ancestral homeland. But his rhetoric exposes something older and far darker—the belief that the Jewish people themselves are the problem.
Their words recycle ancient tropes: Jews as nefarious power brokers, Jews as global puppet masters, Israel as the “occupier.” What they spread isn’t a thoughtful critique—it’s the virus of suspicion, hate, and scapegoating that has harmed the Jewish people for centuries.
If you don’t believe me, just read the myriad of antisemitic YouTube comments on their discussion; they mimic the hatred the Jewish people endured in the late 19th and early 20th century.
At one point, Carlson asked Fuentes what conservatives stand in the way of winning back the country. Fuentes replied, “…the Zionist Jews, like Dave Rubin, like Ben Shapiro, like Dennis Prager. It was the guys that were really controlling the media apparatus that seemed to me to be the biggest impediment.”
That’s not analysis—it’s antisemitism.
He’s throwing conservative Jewish commentators under the bus for their belief that Israel remains a vital ally to American interests.
In contrast, Christian Zionism says something radically different: The Jewish people are not the problem. God is not finished with Israel—not with the land, not with the people, not with the promise. To stand with Israel is not heresy; it is biblical fidelity.
When God called Abraham, He gave him an unconditional covenant that promised a land (Israel), a people (the Jewish people), and a multifaceted blessing to make Abraham a great nation and to protect that nation throughout history that they might fulfill their divine calling to bless all the families of the earth.
That covenant doesn’t remain trapped in the verses of Genesis—it binds the entire story of Scripture together. The Psalms proclaim it (Ps. 105:7-10; Prophets proclaim it; the Apostles affirm it.
This continuity of covenant undergirds Christian support for Israel today. God’s redemptive plan was never revoked — it was expanded. The church has been grafted into the covenant, not as a replacement for Israel, but as partakers in God’s unfolding promise. Paul warns Gentile believers in Romans 11:18, “Do not boast against the branches… remember that you do not support the root, but the root supports you.”
Paul’s warning could not be clearer: Do not be arrogant toward Israel. And yet Carlson, Fuentes, and those who echo their views do exactly that.
Ironically, in calling Christian Zionism “heresy,” they embrace the unbiblical doctrine known as Replacement Theology of Super-sessionism—the false idea that the Church has replaced Israel, that God’s promises to the Jewish people have expired.
Fuentes, promoting Super-sessionism, cited Thomas Aquinas, the 13th-century Catholic philosopher, to claim that Jewish people are a “witnessed people” who have special legal protections but no ongoing spiritual role. Then he doubled down: “The neoconservatives and Israel have everything to do with Jewish identity… the blood and soil nationalism of Israel… stems from this ethno-religion, which is Judaism.”
If only they would open their Bibles. They would see that Jesus and all His apostles believed in a coming restoration of Israel’s kingdom, just as God had promised “through His holy prophets” (Acts 3:17–21).
Their brand of Replacement Theology runs headlong into Paul’s reminder that even in unbelief, Israel remains beloved “for the sake of the patriarchs,” because “the gifts and calling of God are irrevocable” (Romans 11:29). God’s covenant with Abraham—land, people, blessing—cannot be undone.
Carlson and Fuentes paint Christian Zionists as naïve or deceived—blindly serving the Israeli agenda. But Paul defines the heart of the Christian Zionist who calls Gentile believers to humility, not hubris: “Because of unbelief they were broken off, and you stand by faith. Be not high-minded, but fear.” (Romans 11:20)
That’s the posture to have as a Christian Zionist: Humble gratitude, not arrogance. Reverence for God and His Word, not bondage to any political agenda.
Their line—”Christian Zionism is Christian heresy”—reveals that politics has become their religion. They promote not the transforming work of Christ in individual hearts but a cultural crusade—a collective Christian identity defined by power, blame, and control. In that movement, Israel becomes a target, and Christian Zionists are the pawns.
As for the ministry of FOTET, we will continue to speak up for the Jewish people, to pray for Israel, and to affirm the land God has promised. I will oppose the targeting of Jewish people, I will reject the lie that a Jewish conspiracy is what’s wrong with the world, and I will encourage believers to see that the Jewish people are not the obstacle to redemption—they are a key part of God’s redemptive plan.
I will live as a wild branch grafted in by grace—grateful, humbled, and standing in solidarity with the root, not boasting against it and blaming it for the woes of party affiliation.
So to Tucker Carlson and Nick Fuentes, I would simply say: read your Bible and stop butchering it for your self-centered agenda.
It’s a Jewish book—yes, even the New Testament. There you’ll find that Jesus is the Messiah of Israel, who came for the lost sheep of the house of Israel to establish the New Covenant, promised to Israel in Jeremiah 31:31, a blessing for the world. You’ll see that Paul, a faithful Jewish man himself, affirmed that God’s covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob still stands.
God’s love for the Jewish people is not a political issue—it’s a biblical truth.
“Boast not against the branches. But if you boast, remember you do not support the root, the root supports you.” (Romans 11:18)
by Tim Buck | Jun 14, 2025 | America, How to Live the Last Days, President Trump
‘No Kings’ is a nationwide day of defiance.
It will be launched on America THIS SATURDAY, June 14.
It’s well planned, massive, and rooted by a spiritual hatred for God and fueled by a hate for President Trump!
It’s also symbolic of the spiritual warfare between Satan’s evil plans and God’s plan for the soon return of Jesus! To put it mildly, President Trump is not helpful for Satan’s plans to destroy Israel with Iran’s nukes so he’s behind the launch of the ‘No Kings’ effort to weaken both Trump and America! And although Bible believing Christians are caught up in the middle, we have the wonderful ‘Blessed Hope’ of the rapture to look forward to!
From city blocks to small towns, from courthouse steps to community parks, THE RADICAL LEFT is taking action to reject authoritarianism and depose Donald Trump and his supporters!
It now appears to me that the enemy has jumpstarted this Saturday’s nationwide protests with the riots in L.A. to show the rest of America how to lay down the chaos.
War is about to return to the streets of America as it did 5 years ago in the greatest summer of violence and destruction our nation has ever seen.
The Left is calling it a ‘nationwide day of defiance’ and they are mobilized and ready to attack this Saturday, June 14th in hundreds of locations across the country.
Why It Matters
Since President Trump returned to office in January, there have been nationwide protests—such as the “Hands Off” demonstrations and weekly Tesla Takedown events. However, this weekend is set to see the largest gathering of anti-Trump action since his inauguration. The left opposes tanks, troops and Trump and wants to undermine the President’s 250th Birthday Parade this Saturday to celebrate the US Army in Washington, DC.
If the number of protesters increase as expected, it could indicate a long summer and a repeat of the horrible atrocities of 2020. Please pray for America that this doesn’t happen.
What To Know
According to organizers, the No Kings protests are being held to stand up against “authoritarianism, billionaire-first politics, and the militarization of our democracy.”
If I had to guess some of the funding is likely coming through a George Soros proxy group as it did before!
Are you ready for the ‘No Kings’ mass casualty event? You better be!
The world has turned against righteousness and truth just as the Apostle Paul warned Timothy.
But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come.
2 Timothy 3:1
The following verbiage below is taken directly from the ‘No Kings’ site:
On June 14th we rise up, No Kings!
They’ve defied our courts, deported Americans, disappeared people off the streets, attacked our civil rights, and slashed our services. The corruption has gone too. far. No thrones. No crowns. No kings. June 14—Flag Day—President Trump wants tanks in the street and a made-for-TV display of dominance for his birthday. A spectacle meant to look like strength. But real power isn’t staged in Washington. It rises up everywhere else.
No Kings is a nationwide day of defiance. From city blocks to small towns, from courthouse steps to community parks, we’re taking action to reject authoritarianism—and show the world what democracy really looks like.
We’re not gathering to feed his ego. We’re building a movement that leaves him behind.
The flag doesn’t belong to President Trump. It belongs to us. We’re not watching history happen. We’re making it.
On June 14th, we’re showing up everywhere he isn’t—to say no thrones, no crowns, no kings. READ MORE
No Kings Nationwide Day Of Defiance June 14th
Just so you know, the No Kings event will take place in every major city across America.
Don’t Lose Sight
It’s easy to get caught up in left vs. right and Democrat vs. Republican that drives believers to dive into political activism.
But that can often lead to the softening of the gospel and sidetracks prophecy.
Much of the church in America is by and large trapped in the left/right paradigm, and in doing so, often lose sight of sharing the gospel as much as they should, due to that distraction.
Stay focused on your calling for God, and redeem your time for the Lord, and engage like the sons of Issachar:
“The sons of Issachar had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do.”
1 Chronicles 12:32
The Lord will soon return and all God’s children will be instantly removed from this planet to meet the Lord in the air!

How Much Longer?
7/31/24 – By Tim Buck
FOTET.ORG
How Much Longer?
This question has come to mind by many Christ loving saints who watched the Olympics opening ceremonies in Paris this past weekend.
Provocations?
What the world witnessed in Paris tells us that Satan no longer lurks in the shadows, but is comfortable now operating in the open for all to see. What seems to be a clear attempt to provoke the Lord, a scene from the Olympic opening ceremonies pictured drag queens seated around a table in the same way that Leonardo da Vinci painted Jesus and His disciples at the Last Supper.
Social media then showed what intended to represent two of the horses of the apocalypse. In one of them was a veiled rider on a white horse riding through the streets of Paris with the Olympic flag behind him. The correlation between this and Antichrist riding throughout the world in Revelation 6:1-2 was clearly evident.
Such over-the-top mocking of Jesus and His Word went beyond anything we could’ve imagined. Was not Satan seeking to provoke the Lord with such blasphemous images? Was he using the world stage to incite the beginning of the judgments that will take place after the Rapture?
Why would Satan seek to incite the Lord in such a way? Does he not realize that the book of Revelation spells his eternal doom?
Jesus Is Coming Back
All these things speak to us of Jesus’ imminent appearing. Yes, many of us have been saying this for a great many years. However, the skies are darker than ever before. And Satan is working overtime to prepare the world for when Antichrist appears riding on a white horse. This time, it will be for real.
In 2 Thessalonians 2:1-8, the Apostle Paul tells us that the restraining force of the Holy Spirit in the life of believers is now preventing the appearance of Antichrist who the Apostle Paul describes as the “man of lawlessness.” It’s the Holy Spirit’s working through us and in us, the Church, that’s now preventing the arrival of earth’s final tyrant onto the world stage.
We also know that the devil is not able to goad the Lord into intervening in the world until the perfect time set in His sovereign plan for the ages. The Rapture can only come when the “times of the Gentiles” is complete [Romans 11:25].
We know Jesus’ appearing is imminent, but we don’t presume to know when the Rapture will happen. On the other hand, given the explosion of sins all around us, and the explosion of SIGNS today, we don’t make the equally imprudent mistake of assuming it can’t happen today, this week, next month, or later this year or next.
The Best News Imaginable
How did Paul preface his comforting words regarding the Rapture in 1 Thessalonians 4:15-5:11? He began by writing, “For this we declare to you by the word from the Lord.”
Of course, we acknowledge his epistles as inspired Scripture, but here the apostle saw fit to emphasize that his words came directly from the Savior. Verses 16 and 17 from chapter 4 summarize our great expectation:
For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord.
This is the best news imaginable!
There’s coming a time when the dead in Christ will rise and we who remain alive will join them in meeting Jesus in the air.
It cannot get any better than that!
What a great blessing we have to live at a time when we see so many precursors to the events depicted in the book of Revelation. It’s more than just a possibility that many of us will still be alive when Jesus appears, raises the dead, and gives those of us that remain immortal bodies (1 Corinthians 15:47-55).
It’s not that we don’t make plans, set goals, or enjoy the things of this life with which the Lord has blessed us. We do. However, if I had the choice between winning five hundred million dollars in the lottery versus the Rapture happening today, I would choose the latter every time. There’s simply no earthly luxury that can even remotely compare to the glory that awaits us at Jesus’ appearing.
The mocking of our faith that took place last Friday in Paris beckons us to look up knowing that our day of redemption draws close. And it will be so much better than we can even imagine.
Even so come Lord Jesus!

What Amazing Times
We Are In!
7/24/24 – By Tim Buck
FOTET.ORG
During the last few days we have witnessed an * Assassination attempt on President Trump * The resignation of the Secret Service Director * A request by Putin to hear from Trump * The elimination of Muhammad Deif, Hamas’ Chief * A Houthi suicide drone exploding in the heart of Tel Aviv (Next to the American Embassy) * The Israeli Air Force massive strike in Yemen, 1400 mi. away (see article below) * A global internet server crash * President Biden dropping out of the race under emerging hints of a medical crisis * Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu arriving in Washington DC with nobody from the Whitehouse greeting him, as he arrives to speak to Congress (today) * Trump meeting with Bibi at Mar-a-Lago * Israeli athletes headed to the Olympics in Paris receiving terrifying death threats * Hamas nearing defeat under targeted and ongoing IDF pressure in Gaza * Hamas and Fatah sign unity agreement in China, while at the same time, the IDF eliminates both their terror commanders in the West Bank * Hamas and Fatah are trying to secure $70 billion out of China to rebuild Gaza * Northern Galilee on fire under intense Hezbollah rocket attacks * Iran threatening to enter the war if Israel attacks Hezbollah in Lebanon.
In all these happenings, the grace of the Lord is supplying comfort and strength to His people, granting all who call upon His name peace in the midst of the storms.
Thank you for your prayers for us and for Focus On The End Times. As light diminishes, we believe this is why God raised up this teaching Ministry! We remember you in prayer for your labor and service to the Lord in whatever your sphere of responsibility and authority. The harvest around us is great and the laborers are few, pray for more laborers.
Bein ha-Metzarim,
‘Season of 3 Weeks’
Many in Israel are praying intently these days since July 23 when Israel entered into the notorious season of “Bein ha-Metzarim,” meaning “Between the Straights.” This is a three week period of mourning commemorating many disastrous historic events in Israel’s history, including the breaking of the Tablets by Moses after the Golden Calf fiasco; the negative report of the 10 Spies on the border of the Promised Land; the Roman army breaching the walls of Jerusalem; and the destruction of both the Jerusalem Temples.
Traditional Jewish practices for the 3-week period (ending on the ninth day of the month of Av on August 13) involve various aspects of mourning such as withholding weddings, celebrations, haircuts, etc. However, many intercessors are sensing a darker shadow on the horizon as the Middle East remains explosive and the entire global arena is under severe shaking. Pray for Israel that their national and military leaders will act with divine wisdom, courage, and faith, so as to be in sync with heaven’s purposes.
Balaam
Unexpected Blessings For Israel
“How shall I curse whom God has not cursed? And how shall I denounce whom the LORD has not denounced? For from the top of the rocks I see him, and from the hills I behold him; there! A people dwelling alone, not reckoning itself among the nations…”
Numbers 28:8-9
The story of Balaam bursts forth with an unexpected prophecy about Israel. It was roughly 2,500 years from the creation of the world when the young nation of Israel reached the 40th year of their wilderness journey and was preparing to enter the Promised Land. They were now camped at the border of the nation of Moab, moving north toward their entry point to the Land of Canaan. The Moabites, who were terrified by the advancing Israelites, covenanted with the people of Midian to stop the Hebrews. King Balak of Moab recognized the supernatural power that was assisting the people of Israel, and summoned Balaam, the powerful sorcerer and prophet from the territory of modern day Iraq, to curse the advancing Israelites. A showdown was coming.
You know the story. Following a few rounds of negotiations and the promise of great rewards, Balaam woke early in the morning and excitedly saddled his donkey to start the long journey to the Land of Moab. At this point Jewish sages teach that at that very moment God said, “Wicked one, my servant Abraham already preempted you when he also saddled his donkey early in the morning long ago to go to Mount Moriah and offer Isaac.” Good always overcomes evil, and God’s ways always prevail over time.
Between the sword-wielding angel and the talking donkey, God was showing Balaam that the gift of speech is entirely in God’s hands, and that when the time comes for Balaam to curse Israel, he would bless them instead. And so it was. Standing upon the Heights of Ba’al by the seven altars and the bloody sacrifices, overseeing the vast Hebrew nation resting in the valley below, Balaam tried to curse Israel but he blessed Israel instead with four remarkable oracles. Each of these inspired declarations highlighted God’s heart and purposes for His people Israel. Let these ancient prophecies empower and direct your prayers.
- “How shall I curse whom God has not cursed? And how shall I denounce whom the LORD has not denounced? For from the top of the rocks I see him, and from the hills I behold him; there! A people dwelling alone, not reckoning itself among the nations…” (Numbers 23:8-10). Israel is a set apart nation for God that will never fit comfortably in the present world order. She stands alone today but will be utterly isolated during the second half of the Tribulation period.
- “God is not a man, that He should lie, nor a son of man, that He should repent. Has He said, and will He not do? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good? Behold, I have received a command to bless; He has blessed, and I cannot reverse it. He has not observed iniquity in Jacob, nor has He seen wickedness in Israel. The LORD his God is with him, and the shout of a King is among them. God brings them out of Egypt; He has strength like a wild ox. For there is no sorcery against Jacob, nor any divination against Israel. It now must be said of Jacob and of Israel, ‘Oh, what God has done!’ Look, a people rises like a lioness, and lifts itself up like a lion; It shall not lie down until it devours the prey, and drinks the blood of the slain.” (Numbers 23:19-24). While there is iniquity and wickedness in Jacob, and while divination rises against Israel, God’s intention is to resolve the sin issue and bring His people victorious through the battles. God stands with Israel today even as Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthi’s and Iran try to break God’s grip, Israel will be victorious.
- “How lovely are your tents, O Jacob! Your dwellings, O Israel! Like valleys that stretch out, like gardens by the riverside, like aloes planted by the LORD, like cedars beside the waters. He shall pour water from his buckets, and his seed shall be in many waters. His king shall be higher than Agag, and his kingdom shall be exalted. God brings him out of Egypt; He has strength like a wild ox; He shall consume the nations, his enemies; He shall break their bones and pierce them with his arrows. He bows down, he lies down as a lion; and as a lion, who shall rouse him? Blessed is he who blesses you, and cursed is he who curses you.” (Numbers 24:5-9). Not only shall Israel’s seed spread and impact many waters (nations), but God will have them consume their enemies who rise up against them, break their bones, and pierce them with arrows.
- “I see Him, but not now; I behold Him, but not near; a Star shall come out of Jacob; a Scepter shall rise out of Israel, and batter the brow of Moab, and destroy all the sons of tumult. And Edom shall be a possession; Seir also, his enemies, shall be a possession, while Israel does valiantly. Out of Jacob One shall have dominion, and destroy the remains of the city.” (Numbers 24:17-19). Israel’s victory and destiny are irrevocably yoked with the arrival of their future Savior who shall rise like a Star out of Jacob and rule with the Scepter of the Kings of Israel with ultimate and eternal authority.
Of the many biblical promises and prophecies that God’s Holy Spirit inspired concerning the nature, the purpose, and the destiny of His people Israel, these amazing oracles were spoken by a Gentile sorcerer/prophet as a witness for the whole world to know. May these words help you understand the unique role of Israel in God’s sovereign plans and help direct your prayers.
“… For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven, and do not return there, but water the earth, and make it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower and bread to the eater, so shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; it shall not return to Me void, but it shall accomplish what I please, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.
(Isaiah 55:10-11).
The Port City of Hodeidah on the Red Sea in Yemen goes up in flames after being bombarded by Israeli F-35’s
The Amazing Story
Israel F-35’s Over Yemen
What Really Happened
In Yemen?
A few days ago, in broad daylight, 25 Israeli F-35 and F-15 combat jets assaulted the port city of Hodeidah, Yemen, with unprecedented force. Ten different targets were bombed simultaneously with at least 10 tons of explosives, destroying massive oil facilities, refineries, and electric stations. The port is destroyed and will remain shut down for months.
This was the largest F-35 assault ever conducted in the history of aerial battles, and it could be a “general rehearsal” for an attack on the Iranian oil facilities that are actually closer to Israel than Hodeidah. If Israel’s F-35’s can bomb Yemen, Iran is vulnerable!
The Houthi terror army captured Hodeidah from the Yemenis in 2020 and has been occupying and using the city since then as its main oil exporting port. Being landlocked and surrounded with moderate Arab countries that are hostile to the Houthi terrorists, this is their ONLY export gate for their oil production which means that their economy is toast. Hodeidah has also been the entry point of Iranian arm shipments, and the launching pad for the Houthi naval assaults against international shipping traffic in the Red Sea. All these capabilities are now greatly damaged.
Native Yemenites have been recording themselves celebrating in the streets of Hodeidah in view of the Israeli air strike, hoping for the coming collapse of this terror army. Previous American and British air strikes were far less effective and destructive in comparison to the damage Israel has caused, and the entire Middle East is reconfiguring the price to be paid for harassing Israel.
Regional Implications
The Houthis are shocked, as are the Iranians whose oil facilities are just as vulnerable to Israeli strikes. Meanwhile, watching the massive damage and the flames that keep burning for days, Hezbollah in Lebanon moved all of its main assets, including rockets and long-range missiles, from their storage facilities by the Beirut International Airport to the center of Beirut. They believe that Israel will hesitate attacking these targets when they are protected by Lebanese civilian “human shields.” The local Lebanese population is pushing back against the Hezbollah terror army that oppresses and abuses their deteriorating country, waving banners in the streets saying, “We don’t want war with Israel!”
The Houthi leader, Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, has vanished and is completely out of sight, and their “media department” has resorted to broadcasting desperate lies about imaginary missile strikes against Israeli targets. The Middle East has its own language that the local tribes understand. Foreign powers usually miss it as they often try to negotiate with Jihadi minded regimes using western concepts and methods. It never works.
King David knew that as well when he sang long ago,
“… In my distress I cried to the LORD, and He heard me. Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips and from a deceitful tongue. What shall be given to you, or what shall be done to you, you false tongue? Sharp arrows of the warrior, with coals of the broom tree! Woe is me, that I dwell in Meshech, that I dwell among the tents of Kedar! My soul has dwelt too long with one who hates peace. I am for peace; but when I speak, they are for war.”
Psalm 120

Solar Eclipse 2024
Sign of Bible Prophecy?
4/8/24 By Tim Buck
Fotet.org
Prophecy Students!
Please Be Aware!!!
The media and prophecy websites are ablaze today and pontificating about the hidden meanings of today’s ellipse.
In the eyes of some Christians, the solar eclipse is some kind of end time sign. But that’s simply NOT what the Bible says!
The various blood moons and eclipses that have shown up over the last few years are not the astrological signs that are in the prophecies of the Bible.
All of the signs in the sun, moon and stars, etc. that appear in the prophetic passages of Scripture relate to the final seven year Tribulation Period and are signs for broadcasting Christ’s Second Coming (not the Rapture).
Such phenomena are a common feature of the Day of the Lord, the Tribulation Period, as can be seen in the following passages: Isaiah 13:9-10; Ezekiel 32:7-8; Joel 2:10 31; 3:15; Amos 8:9, and in Christ’s Olivet Discourse prophecy in the gospels:
Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
Matthew 24:29
None of the dramatic heavenly phenomena like today’s eclipse, that everyone is talking about, are legitimate prophetic signs relating to the church age. Search as you will but you won’t find any heavenly signs relating to America at the end of the church age!
And there are no signs for the Rapture that need to be fulfilled.
So for the most part, everyone is simply guessing about what the deeper meaning is but there isn’t any Scripture to let us know. Don’t forget to wear your sunglasses to enjoy God’s majestic creation!

Anti Israel demonstrations, like the recent, “STOP THE GENOCIDE” rally (against Israel) in London continue to grow in attendance around the world. London’s rally brought out 100’s of thousands of jubilant supporters who would be happy to see the genocide of Israel. This isn’t just wrong, it’s demonic! Watch the video below.
Hamas killed 1,200 civilians, many were set on fire while they were alive. They were burned in their homes. Mothers were raped while their children watched, then shot. Children were shot to death while their mothers watched. The babies were decapitated, others were burned alive.
After all the horrible brutality, the world has turned against Israel in a rage which is now flinging us, faster then ever, toward to the events described in Daniel, Joel, Zechariah and Revelation about the last days!

Perilous Times!

The battle in Gaza rages in the south. The storm clouds of war build in the north. The political opposition to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is back at it, trying to remove him from office. A crazy president in Brazil is comparing Israel to Hitler’s Germany. Ignorant mobs the world over are chanting their slogans of love for the perpetrators of the October 7 massacre, while vehemently condemning the victims. Christians are regularly being slaughtered by Islamists in Western Africa, but the press is ignoring it. Iran missed a turn somewhere and found themselves at the South Pole, so they decided to lay claim to it. Another Putin critic, healthy and only 47-years-old, somehow managed to die in prison. And the president of the most powerful nation in the world, well, let’s just say it appears he may be slightly past his prime.
But through it all, we know that God is in control, and that is why there are great things happening too. There are pro-Israel rallies and marches in many areas of the world. The new Argentine president has been very supportive of Israel, and the mainland European country that has given Israel some of the most support is Germany, of all places! While the U.S. is turning into a political morass for Israel, we continue to send arms and much needed munitions, particularly for Israel’s missile defense systems. Israel has established a land route to bypass the Houthi blockade of the Red Sea that is bringing us supplies from India via the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Jordan. And Israel is forging deeper friendships with most of the Gulf States, as well as, very quietly, the family of Saud in Riyadh.
The angel of the LORD encamps all around those who fear Him, and delivers them. Oh, taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the man who trusts in Him!
Psalm 34:7-8
The Middle East
The War in the South
The work dismantling the tunnel system in Khan Yunis continues. Spearheading this operation is Yahalom, a “special forces” unit of the Israel Defense Force’s (IDF) Combat Engineering Corps. The goal of Operation Protective Edge is to put out of commission Hamas’s extensive tunneling throughout the Gaza Strip. It is extremely dangerous work as there are many places for terrorists to hide and booby-trapping is extensive. But through it all, Yahalom and other units of the IDF are making amazing progress.
Despite international protests, the IDF launched an operation against Nasser Hospital in Khan Yunis. As expected, it was crawling with Hamas. Hundreds of terrorists were arrested, and many weapons were destroyed. A vehicle stolen from Kibbutz Nir Oz was found on the premises, as were packages of necessary medicine for the hostages that were never distributed. The IDF must fight Hamas where it is at. It is the terrorists who chose Nasser Hospital as the battleground. They are the ones who bear the blame for the resulting humanitarian issues. It is no wonder that more and more Gazans are fed up with Hamas and are speaking out against them. A Gazan widow, in response to the leaflets that Israel dropped offering cash rewards to anyone who could provide the location of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, was recently recorded saying, “I swear, if I knew where he was, I’d bring them Sinwar’s head for free.” Many have lost everything in this war, and they are quickly realizing that the blame does not lie in Israel but with the terrorists within their midst.
With the operations of both Northern Gaza and Khan Yunis coming closer to completion, the focus is on Rafah. The plan of the war cabinet for that southern region of Gaza is to enter strong close to the beginning of Ramadan. The IDF will likely move to encircle Yahya Sinwar from all sides, then conduct negotiations for the release of the abductees.
What these negotiations will not include is a promise of a permanent ceasefire if that means Hamas remains a viable entity. Nor will it include any verbiage hinting at a Palestinian state. Prime Minister Netanyahu has been adamantly against a two-state solution, despite the hard push from the United States. The Knesset on Wednesday backed the PM up with an overwhelming majority, only one vote short of 80% support, that included his own coalition and many from the opposition.
The War in the West Bank
Many believe that the IDF is only facing the enemy in the south and the north. However, the West Bank is a dangerous place in which many belonging to Hamas and the Palestine Islamic Jihad (PIJ) are harbored along with an extremely large cache of weapons. Almost nightly, there are operations into the region, such as the one that took place in Jenin on Wednesday. Three terrorists were killed and 40 more were arrested when the IDF raided two houses. Also, many weapons were seized, and improvised explosive devices (IED) were located and disarmed along the roads in and out of the city. The West Bank terrorist cells are especially concerning, because when the battle in the north eventually begins, Israel will immediately face another front right in the heart of the nation.
The West Bank is also the origin of numerous terror attacks on Israeli civilians, including the one that recently took place near Jerusalem. Three Palestinian gunmen from the Bethlehem area opened fire on a line of cars stuck in traffic. Put yourself in that situation. You’re just going to work when suddenly automatic weapons are being fired at you and the cars around you. And because you are in traffic, you’re trapped and helpless with nowhere to go. One man was killed in the attack and 11 more innocent civilians were wounded. Two of the gunmen were killed at the site of the attack by police and armed citizens, and the third was “neutralized” a short time later.
The War in the North
The “soft war” in the north continues with rockets crossing the border southward and airstrikes directed north. A targeted elimination by Israel killed two in the Kfar Sousa neighborhood of Damascus, a district known for the presence of Iranian security personnel. The Israeli airstrike took place just one day short of the one-year anniversary of a similar attack directed at Kfar Sousa. Eventually, the generals of the IRGC are going to catch on that their people are much safer when they are kept in Iran. Although, that’s not always the case.
The IDF continues their “softening” of targets in Lebanon prior to the coming launch of the war in the north. A concerning report was released on Tuesday by French newspaper Liberacion that claims that Hezbollah has a tunnel system in Lebanon that dwarfs that of Gaza in both size and sophistication. Back in the 1980s, Iran and North Korea came alongside Hezbollah to begin the tunneling, and the terrorist organization has been working on it for the past four decades. The tunnels can be used for attack, troops movement, warehousing, barracks, and other needs. Hundreds and hundreds of kilometers stretch through the country of Lebanon reaching Syria and Israel.
Yemen
The Houthis of Yemen continued their attacks on shipping throughout the week, leading U.S. forces to carry out five self-defense strikes on Saturday. Each strike was aimed at lessening the terrorist group’s ability to carry out their missile launches. This morning, however, it became quite evident in Israel’s southern city of Eilat that the Houthis still have plenty of capability when warning sirens sounded. A surface-to-surface missile was inbound toward the city. Thankfully, the Arrow missile defense system was able to intercept and destroy the threat before it reached its target.
Iran
Iran has declared property rights in Antarctica and announced sovereignty over the South Pole. Sometimes the potential jokes are so plentiful that it is best just to sit back and let the fact stand on its own.
