Peace Deal Made!
How would you feel if all your friends told you that you better do the number one thing in the world that you want to do least? If you don’t, they’ll be done with you forever. Not sure what emotions you might experience? Then, find one of the leaders of Hamas, buy him a cup of coffee, and let him tell you just how miserable he is right now, because that is currently the terror group’s situation.
President Trump has presented his 20-Point Gaza Peace Plan [see below] to initiate phase one for ending the Israel-Gaza War. Hamas was doing their usual hemming and hawing, trying to draw out the process until it broke down. Only this time, instead of supporting them, their best friends, the Qataris, along with the Turks and the Egyptians, told them you better sign or we’re cutting you off. That’s what it took and Hamas signed on to Phase One of the deal which is to release all 48 of the remaining hostages this weekend, both the dead & alive.
If there are no last-minute snags, this should finally bring the remaining hostages home, though there’s the potential that some who are deceased may not be recovered for some time.
Achieving this milestone is no surprise to President Trump or Prime Minister Netanyahu. In fact, it is the culmination of a brilliant strategy that began exactly one month ago with the “failed” Israeli air attack on Hamas leaders in Doha, Qatar. What the media loves to portray as a botched assassination attempt was actually a key step that scared the Qataris and others into forcing Hamas’s hand.
The magnificent scheme was cooked up by President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu that is worthy of a Netflix mini-series. And it worked like a charm by putting fear into Qatar which Trump used to bring Qatar into agreeing on his 20-Point Peace Plan.
President Trump is likely heading to Egypt soon for the Israel-Hamas signing agreement and then to Jerusalem to speak in the Knesset. All the rumors of the rift between Trump and Netanyahu were part of the scheme.
In the next 72 hours, the hostages will be returned home. On Sunday, 20 innocent Israeli hostages will be returned and on Monday the remaining fallen hostages will come home. In return, the terrorists will receive 250 of their imprisoned members.
And, in case you are wondering, none of the terrorists involved in the October 7 massacre will be among those returned. In return, Israel will pull back their troops from their present positions in Gaza but will remain in the Philadelphi Corridor and inside the borders of Gaza. Hamas has it in their mind that this is the end of the war, but Israel says, “We’ll see.” This agreement is just phase one of the process. If the terrorists fail to keep any part of the agreement to the letter, Israel will have full permission to destroy them.
Once the agreement is fully set in motion, Israel and the United States will be open to focus on other areas. That means that Iran needs to be looking over their shoulders. The U.S. has already moved massive forces into the Persian Gulf area. The Houthis also need to prepare for some visitations, since Israel can now put their primary focus on dealing with those terrorists.
Pause Not Peace
We need to remember that Hamas is the Palestinian chapter of the Muslim Brotherhood who opposes Israel and would like to see them completely destroyed. They see ‘peace’ as more like a ‘pause’ to reload. Genuine peace with the “Zionist enemy” is something that is anathema to the Jew-hating, genocidal Islamist death cult like Hamas.
Even if they put on the appearance of doing so, Hamas will never really disarm. They will never relinquish power. They will never renounce terrorism. They will never fully retreat into exile. It’s just not in the blood of those who are perpetually ‘blood drunk’ by the divine dictates of their ‘faith.’
“When it is possible to achieve such an aim by lying but not by telling the truth, it is permissible to lie if attaining the goal is permissible … and obligatory to lie if the goal is obligatory…“ – Reliance of the Traveler: A Classic Manual of Islamic Sacred Law
Backed into a corner, giving up hostages was a relatively easy compromise to make. If Hamas refused then Israel’s onslaught would have been unrelenting and Hamas would have likely lost many of the hostages, either by them getting killed during combat or in rescue attempts. And fewer hostages means far fewer terrorists released from Israeli prisons in any exchange.
It was really the only choice Hamas could make, one that was made easier now that their largest supporters Turkey and Qatar (both now suddenly on the receiving end with the promise of significant military upgrades and security guarantees from the US, respectively) — were now exerting significant pressure on Hamas to accept.
Flotilla Flop
I am writing this story under protest, because the ridiculous flotillas to “break the blockade on Gaza” are technically news. But, oy vavoy, I hate giving these people any recognition at all. Sure, they did provide a little comedy relief, like when Greta Thunberg got demoted to a different boat and one of the organizers resigned after some bullying by a trans contingent.
And then there was that meme that said that Greta was the first hostage victim in history whose kidnappers’ only demand is that she leave. Actually, I guess based on entertainment value alone, the flotillas weren’t such a bad thing after all.
Syrian’s New Target
Now that Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa has slaughtered Alawites, Christians, and Druze, he is in search of a new target to mollify his murderous ISIS gangs. It appears he may have found it in the Kurds of Aleppo.
Deadly fighting broke out on Monday between the Kurdish Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) and Syrian government forces. Because the SDF is backed by the U.S., if this conflict continues it could draw America into the conflict to a certain extent.
Macron’s Mess
At just 27 days, French President Emmanuel Macron’s latest Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu became the shortest tenured PM in the history of the Fifth Republic when he resigned his office on Monday.
This leaves the beleaguered president with a choice. Does he appoint yet another sacrificial prime minister? Does he take a chance and dissolve parliament, hoping for better luck with new elections? Or does he just resign? I know my choice for him.

I will gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land.
Joel 3:2
Led by France and Emmanuel Macron, the United Nations General Assembly has overwhelmingly passed a resolution calling for the Recognition of the State of Palestine and for reviving a Two-State Solution for Israel and Palestine. Timing is everything as the UN’s assault against Israel came less than 24 hours after Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said there would never be a Palestinian state.
French President Emmanuel Macron, and Saudi Arabia presented the declaration calling for the creation of the State of Palestine. The vote was 142 nations in favor, only 10 against (U.S. included) with 12 abstentions from voting.
Take note of the 142 nations that voted for this prophesied act to divide Israel’s land. They aren’t aware of the danger they’re in because of the fact that the Abrahamic Covenant is still in play. They don’t know it yet but their anti-Israel act has placed themselves under the curses of God rather than living under the blessings of God for supporting Israel (Genesis 12:1-3). How sad for the people of those nations to be led by such blind leaders!
Here we are in September of 2025 and the world has turned against tiny Israel just as the prophets said they would. This officially marks the beginning for the final leg of the race toward the seven year Tribulation.
Buckle your seatbelts, it’s going to be a bumpy ride from here to the Rapture!
Step one of Macron’s two-step mistake is now in place and Macron is regrouping for step two to give his full presentation to the UN that he will co-chair with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salmon of Saudi Arabia next Monday, September 22nd.
Macron and Mohammed bin Salman to Co-Chair Two-State Solution Conference at UN
FROM MACRON VIA X:
“I just spoke with the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia. Together, we will co-chair the Conference on the Two-State Solution in New York on September 22.
The American decision not to grant visas to Palestinian officials is unacceptable. We call for this measure to be reversed and for Palestinian representation to be ensured in accordance with the Host Country Agreement.
Our objective is clear: to rally the broadest possible international support for the Two-State Solution—the only way to meet the legitimate aspirations of both Israelis and Palestinians. This will require the implementation of a permanent ceasefire, the release of all hostages, the large-scale delivery of humanitarian aid to the people of Gaza, and the deployment of a stabilization mission in Gaza.
We are also working to ensure that, the day after, Hamas is disarmed and excluded from any governance of Gaza, that the Palestinian Authority is reformed and strengthened, and that the Gaza Strip is fully reconstructed.
No offensive annexation attempt by Israel, or forced displacement of populations will derail the momentum we have created with the Crown Prince—momentum that many partners have already joined.
Together, let us make this Conference on the Two-State Solution a decisive turning point for peace and security for all in the region.
See you in New York on September 22.”
End Time Clock Lurches Forward
We were suspicious that September was going to be a blockbuster month for Bible prophecy with the September meeting at the UN in New York. And so far it has not disappointed that estimation.
The world is in turmoil, Europe is on the brink of war, the United states is at a turning point, the Middle East is at war, and the world is forcing the State of Israel to give birth to the so-called State of Palestine.
This is how the Bible says the world’s showdown with Israel will be in the last days and God’s end time clock is not slowing down. I think the sound of the Rapture Trumpet is getting very close!
Israel May Annex Judea and Samaria after UN Vote On ‘Palestine’
Israel’s Finance Minister Smotrich labeled the UN vote a “diplomatic attack on Israel” and called for immediate Israeli sovereignty over Judea and Samaria
Israeli ministers are urging Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to officially annex Judea and Samaria after the United Nations declaration Saturday recognizing a Palestinian state.
“Israel must apply sovereignty [to Judea and Samaria] as a preventive measure against the reckless attempt to establish a terror state in the heart of our land,” Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich wrote on X, calling the UN vote “a diplomatic attack on Israel.”
Justice Minister Yariv Levin also said annexation of the territory was critical for preventing the formation of a Palestinian state. “It is time to apply sovereignty to Judea, Samaria and the Jordan Valley,” Levin wrote on X. He condemned the UN decision as a “reward for terrorism” and insisted annexation would be “the appropriate Zionist response.”
According to Hebrew-language media reports, Netanyahu has been seriously weighing the move. However, the prime minister was recently deterred by a warning from the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia that annexation would prompt their withdraw from the Abraham Accords.
The debate comes as U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio just arrived in Israel. Rubio warned European states considering recognition of a Palestinian state that “there is going to be a counter reaction,” which some speculate could take the form of Israeli annexation.
Reports also suggest the Trump administration has given Israel a green light for partial annexation, specifically in the Jordan Valley. Unnamed senior Israeli officials told Axios that “Rubio has signaled in private meetings that he doesn’t oppose [Judea and Samaria] annexations, and the Trump administration won’t stand in the way.”
A White House official, however, declined to confirm or deny those claims, telling Axios: The Trump administration obviously engages in a variety of policy discussions related to the Middle East. We do not comment on internal meetings that may or may not have occurred.”

Charlie Kirk’s Killer Captured
Police have arrested a suspect in the assassination of Charlie Kirk on a Utah college campus earlier this week – identified by sources as Tyler Robinson, a 22-year-old Utah resident.
Kirk, a 31-year-old father of two, was sitting under a tent around 12:20 p.m. Wednesday, debating with students on hot-button current affairs issues, when a single shot rang out. Video from the scene shows him struck in the neck before he slumped out of his chair.
He had been invited to speak at Utah Valley University by the campus chapter of Turning Point USA, a national conservative student group he founded.
President Trump said he hopes the suspect gets the death penalty if found guilty. He also explained how investigators found the suspect — with help from a minister, a member of the U.S. Marshals Service and the suspect’s father.
Israel Hits Hamas in Qatar
Israel’s Operation “Summit of Fire” is committed to ensuring that every person responsible for the massacre of October 7, 2023, will pay with their lives. This is true no matter who they are or where they may be.
That includes the deceptive country of Qatar. On Tuesday morning, the IDF launched an attack on a luxurious villa in Doha that Hamas leaders use to relax, recreate, and plan their next slaughter.
At first, it appeared that all the intended targets, most of whom were what remained of Hamas’s top echelon, were present and eliminated. But in the aftermath, the jury is still out. There are reports that Turkish intelligence warned Hamas to get out, while others say that the Qataris were tipped off by the U.S. and subsequently warned the leadership to flee. More information will surface as time passes.
Israel Hits Back at the Houthis
Days after a Houthi drone hit Eilat’s Ramon Airport, injuring five people, Israel struck back with a vengeance. In the longest flight carried out since the beginning of the war, Israel’s Air Force flew 10 jets more than 2,350 kilometers in order to fire over 30 munitions against 15 targets.
This mission hit military camps, a fuel storage facility, and most importantly the Houthi Military Media Department headquarters, which is responsible for disseminating incitement and propaganda messages.
IDF Warns Civilians to Flee Gaza City
Using voice messages, leaflets, text messages, and phone calls, the IDF is doing all it can to evacuate Gaza City’s civilians to the safety of a new humanitarian area in Hamad City, north of Khan Younis.
Meanwhile, the military is bringing down the towers of Gaza City (anything over eight stories) one by one to prevent their continued use by Hamas as lookout stations, terrorist residences, and entry points for the underground tunnel system.
Four IDF Soldiers Killed in Gaza City
A terrorist climbed onto a tank from the 401st Brigade on Monday and threw an explosive device into the open hatch. The resultant blast took the lives of four IDF soldiers. Killed were Staff Sgt. Uri Lamed, 20; Sgt. Gadi Cotal, 20; Sgt. Amit Arye Regev, 19; and a fourth soldier yet to be identified. More heartbreak for the people of Israel.
Will Lebanon’s Talk Turn into Action?
Following the vote by Lebanon’s government to disarm Hezbollah, the military has presented a plan to do just that. They have divided Hezbollah’s strongholds into five zones. The southernmost zone is already being dealt with by Israel out of necessity. It remains to be seen whether Lebanon will turn their own plans into action.
Russian UAVs Cross into Polish Airspace
In a moment that led Poland’s Prime Minister Donald Tusk to assert, “We are in the closest situation to an armed confrontation since World War II.” On Tuesday, Russia launched a massive UAV attack. Four hundred drones flew from Belarus toward Ukraine.
However, 100 of them crossed into Polish airspace. The Polish PM subsequently activated Article 4 of the NATO treaty which requires urgent security consultations among member countries if one of them feels threatened. Currently, it appears that the situation may be calming down. However, there is no doubt that Russian President Putin just tested the NATO alliance and has found it lacking.
Chaos in France
Thousands of protesters are flooding the streets in France, clashing with police and rioting in opposition to the government’s economic policies. The loss of the people’s confidence in Emmanuel Macron’s leadership spilled over to the loss of confidence the government had in François Bayrou’s prime minister role.
He was ousted in a vote on September 8, causing Macron to shift minister of Defense Sébastian Lecornu into Bayrou’s vacancy, making him the seventh prime minister in Macron’s eight-year tenure.
The global threat for dividing Israel is gaining momentum just as prophesied in the Word. Macron who is leading the charge to divide the land of Israel and to recognize a Palestinian State is now watching France descending into chaos.
The Abrahamic covenant is still in play and the God of Israel is rewarding Macron for his actions against the Jewish state.
I’ll have more on Macron and the international community’s pressure on Israel for the Two-State Solution as well as the upcoming vote this month to recognize Palestine from the UNGA’s meeting in NY, at our class on September 23!

Ready or Not, We’re Dividing Israel!
Have you noticed how fast the world is turning against Israel?
We are watching a powerful global push to divide the land of Israel for the two-state solution.
As I watch the world clamoring to bring peace to the Mideast by seeking to impose a peace accord upon Israel, I wonder, “How much closer can we get to the Tribulation without the Rapture happening?”
A UN conference on the two-state solution for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict took place at the UN in New York from July 28-30, 2025, co-chaired by France and Saudi Arabia.
The conference aimed to revitalize the two-state solution as the only viable path to ending the conflict and achieving lasting peace. It included the establishment of working groups to propose solutions and culminated in the “New York Declaration,” which outlined a phased plan for a Palestinian state alongside Israel.
The US and Israel didn’t send representatives to the meetings, but almost every other country attended. The result of the assembly was a document entitled, “New York Declaration on the Peaceful Settlement of the Question of Palestine and the Implementation of the Two-State Solution.” The formal UN vote on the document is set for next month’s annual UN gathering in New York.
The New York Declaration is a framework for international efforts to achieve a peace between Israelis and Palestinians. It emphasizes the necessity of a two-state solution, where both Israel and a future Palestinian state coexist peacefully within secure and recognized borders. The declaration highlights the need for political, humanitarian, and security steps to be implemented, including the reunification of Gaza and the West Bank under a legitimate Palestinian government.
Prophetic Implications
In many ways, the gathering of the anti-Israel nations and resulting declaration are what we might expect to happen during the time leading up to the start of the seven-year Tribulation.
First, prophecy warns about the clamoring of the nations in Ps. 2 and Ezekiel 36:1-6 and it warns about dividing the land in Joel 3:2. Joel continues his prophecy [Joel 3:9-17] by warning that dividing the land of Israel will be the last straw. The act is the final misstep of the world’s nations that crosses God’s line and motivates the Lord to gather the nations to the Battle of Armageddon.
Second, the New York Declaration document uses the phrase “peace and security” five times. The words “peace” or “peaceful” occur twenty-eight times, while “security” appears twenty-four times. We are living at a time when the words of 1 Thess. 5:3 are coming to life: “For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.”
In 1 Thess. 5:1-11, the apostle refers to the devastation that will come upon the world at the beginning of the “Day of the Lord,” which happens after the Rapture. In the context of the world dividing Israel, the world’s cover phrase will be for them to be calling for “peace and security!” How telling is that? Just a coincidence? Not possible! It’s telling us that our remaining time on earth is rapidly ending. Jesus is coming soon.
Third, the July gathering of nations also signals the fulfillment of Zechariah 12:2-3: “Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem. And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.”
The “siege of Judah and Jerusalem” is pointing to the claim that Jerusalem and Judea/Samaria (so-called West Bank) must become the capital and the territory of the Palestinian State. Do they really believe that taking land away from Israel and giving it to the Palestinians for an Allah worshipping, Israel hating, terror state will bring security to the region? It didn’t work so well with Gaza.
Fourth, the text of Daniel 9:27 implies that Antichrist will take an existing covenant and make it stronger. It’s possible that what we see in the statement approved in New York could be foundational for the final version that one day soon will trigger the seven-year Tribulation. The fact that there’s such a declaration of peace already in place is a momentous step toward the fulfillment of Daniel’s prophecy.
Roadblocks
Although the July 28-29 UN agreement is noteworthy, it faces a few roadblocks that, at least for the moment, keep it from resulting in the covenant of Daniel 9:27.
First, Israel will never agree to its terms. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has often stated that a return to the pre-1967 borders, which the New York declaration demands, would be suicidal for Israel.
Second, Israel can stand firm in its resistance to the UN accord because it has the strong backing of the US and President Trump. We saw this in response to French President Emmanuel Macron’s statement that he would recognize a Palestinian State in September. The Trump administration quickly voiced its disapproval of Macron’s intention to recognize a Palestinian state.
Reuters quoted Secretary of State Marco Rubio as saying that the United States “strongly rejects (Macron’s) plan to recognize a Palestinian state at the UN general assembly.” In a post on X, Rubio also said this about Macron’s statement, “This reckless decision only serves Hamas propaganda and sets back peace. It is a slap in the face to the victims of October 7th.”
President Trump has repeatedly voiced his disapproval of the willingness of nations like France, England, Canada, Malta, Australia, Spain and other to formally recognize a Palestinian State. With his staunch support, Israel can emphatically say no to any UN imposition of terms that claim to “guarantee” its peace.
Missing Pieces
So, what needs to happen to take us from the calls to recognize a Palestinian State to the start of the Tribulation?
The covenant of Daniel 9:27 and the start of the Tribulation cannot happen until we see ten Middle Eastern kings rise up and ban together to form the beast, Satan’s final empire led by Turkey. The ten kings could appear before or after the Rapture.
The Rapture is the missing piece to the puzzle. According to 2 Thessalonians 2:3-8, the man of lawlessness, Antichrist, will not be revealed to the world until the Lord removes the Restrainer, which happens when the Lord snatches us up to the Father’s House in Heaven. We won’t be here when Antichrist inks his deal with Israel.
Once the Rapture happens, the other events leading to the Daniel 9:27 peace covenant will rapidly take place. A greatly weakened America will create a void, leaving Israel without the protection of a powerful ally. After the Rapture, prophetic events will accelerate even faster than their current rapid pace.
A powerful 8.8 earthquake struck off the coast of Russia on July 28, the last day of the New York meeting and its formalization of its intent to divide the Land God gave to Israel. Perhaps the timing of one of the most powerful earthquakes ever recorded was a coincidence, but I think it displayed God’s displeasure of what happened at the UN that same day.
We live at a time like no other. So many signs herald the rapidly approaching start of the seven-year Tribulation, and before that, our departure.
Looking For The Rapture
Regardless of what happens at the UN next month, the New York declaration tells us that Jesus’ appearing is not only imminent but could happen very, very soon.
Scripture teaches the Rapture is an “imminent” event. The exciting doctrine of imminence means that the Rapture is NOT connected to any end-time signs and that it can therefore occur at any time!
That means, there’s nothing preventing the Rapture from occurring today. And our catching up to meet the Lord in the air can certainly occur in the next year. But nothing in imminence, nothing in the Bible, and nothing in prophetic convergence demands a rapture in the next twelve months.
The truth is, we are supposed to be watching and ready at all times and to be expecting Him every day. Are you ready? Even so come Lord Jesus!

U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee criticized the French government’s increasingly hostile diplomatic stance toward Israel, particularly its efforts to form an international coalition aimed at imposing a “Palestinian state” during the ongoing war.
“It’s incredibly inappropriate in the midst of a war that Israel is dealing with to go out and present something that I think increasingly Israelis are steadfast against,” Huckabee said during an interview with Fox News on Sunday.
Huckabee suggested that the French government could establish a “Palestinian State” on the French Riviera.
“Oct. 7 changed a lot of things. If France is really so determined to see a Palestinian state, I have a suggestion for them – carve out a piece of the French Riviera and create a Palestinian state. They are welcome to do that, but they are not welcome to impose that kind of pressure on a sovereign nation. And I find it revolting that they think they have the right to do such a thing,” Huckabee argued.
The Israeli government and much of the Israeli public currently oppose the establishment of a state that they view as a serious threat to the Jewish state’s national security. Furthermore, following the Oct. 7 massacre of 1,200 Israelis and the kidnapping of 251 people, Israelis generally view such a unilateral diplomatic move as a major reward for anti-Israel terrorism.
However, French President Emmanuel Macron announced in April that France plans to recognize a “Palestinian state” in the near future. “We must move toward recognition [of a Palestinian state], and so, in the coming months, we will,” Macron stated.
The French leader claimed that such a diplomatic move would facilitate peace in the Middle East. “I will do it because I believe that at some point it will be right and because I also want to participate in a collective dynamic, which must also allow all those who defend Palestine to recognize Israel in turn, which many of them do not do,” Macron stated.
However, the French president failed to address the fact that both Hamas and the Palestinian Authority oppose Israel’s right to exist as a Jewish state within any boundaries. France has also demanded an end of Israel’s self-defense military operations against Hamas, an Iranian terrorist proxy which openly calls for the destruction of Israel.
France and Saudi Arabia are scheduled to co-host the upcoming U.N. International Conference this month with the goal of unilaterally implementing the two-state solution while ignoring Israel’s legitimate security concerns.
Huckabee addressed the French-Saudi unilateral international plan saying, “I hope they will reconsider, but the U.S. will not participate. It simply will not be a part of such a ruse.”
Huckabee also addressed the reported recent tensions between U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu concerning the Iranian nuclear threat.
“I don’t think pro-Israel Americans need to be concerned that there’s some rift between the United States and Israel. Are there sometimes differences of opinion on the next steps in the war in Gaza, getting the hostages home, or maybe to avoid an all-out war with Iran? Of course, that’s natural,” Huckabee said.
The Israeli government last Sunday blocked an attempt by foreign ministers from several Arab states including Saudi Arabia to visit the Palestinian Authority chairman Mahmoud Abbas in Ramallah in a unilateral push for the establishment of a “Palestinian state” as Israel is still facing terrorism and threats on multiple fronts.
“Israel will not cooperate with moves designed to harm it and its security,” an Israeli official stated, stressing that Jerusalem would not accept “a terrorist state in the heart of the Land of Israel.”

Gazans Turning Against Hamas
Imagine going to an aid station to buy your weekly supply of food. Your money is in your hand, but the person distributing the supplies refuses to take it. “It’s free,” he tells you. “This aid has always been free.” With your heavy box on your shoulder, you walk away stunned.
For months, you’ve been paying exorbitant prices for meager supplies, but now you have a package that is at least twice as heavy and free. That’s the moment you realize that the previous people at the aid stations (Hamas) who said they were your friends were really your enemies, grifting enormous amounts of money from you and your people.
That is the experience that thousands of Gazans are currently having about Hamas. These people who said they were their friends and protectors are actually the ones who are the authors and sustainers of their suffering. A growing percentage of ordinary civilians are fed up with it. This past week, a large number of southern Gaza Bedouin tribes and clans have declared, “Enough is Enough.”
They put out a manifesto holding Hamas fully responsible for the devastation in Gaza. Demanding an end to Hamas rule, they are calling for new leadership. While Hamas is doing their best to fight back against these dissenters from their tyranny, they no longer have the strength or numbers to keep their opponents down.
As the IDF’s Operation Gideon’s Chariots continues to roll, it won’t be long before Hamas runs out of places to hide and people who will take them in.
Netanyahu Fighting for His Political Life
There is a soft coup that is being attempted in Israel. Liberal members of the Knesset are rejecting Prime Minister Netanyahu’s leadership, while the judiciary has him in court at least 12 hours a week and on trial for bogus corruption charges. This is the enemy at work, who is doing everything possible to take the prime minister down before Hamas is fully destroyed.
All this is taking place while the Israeli economy is booming. Defense exports have once again hit an all-time high reaching 52 billion shekels ($14.795 billion USD). This is despite some European nations, such as Spain, saying that they’ll no longer import arms from Israel. That’s okay – Germany will happily take whatever they can get.
Meanwhile, you have Macron, the antisemitic French president pushing hard for a Palestinian state, even while Muslims burn his capital city following a football victory. Seriously? Europe is in the midst of a gradual Muslim invasion that is destroying the very culture of the once great continent. If the liberals in Israel would have their way, the same would happen to them.
That’s because the Israeli judiciary, media, and liberal members of the Knesset hate Netanyahu and all he stands for more than they love their own country. It’s truly appalling. But God has His own providential plans for Israel!
From the Mouth of the Dragon
On May 19, United Nations Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator Tom Fletcher told the BBC that due to Israel allegedly holding back five trucks of humanitarian aid, “there are 14,000 [Gazan] babies that will die in the next 48 hours.” People went crazy! The media ran with the horrific accusation! The next day, two staffers of the Israeli embassy were executed on a Washington, D.C. street. Too late for the murdered couple, the United Nations clarified the statement saying that Fletcher meant 14,000 Gazan babies may suffer malnutrition in the next year if they don’t receive aid. Dead vs. malnourished. 48 hours vs. one year. But because of the “prince and power of the air,” everyone is ready to believe the worst if it’s about Israel.
One more example: On Sunday, more than 30 people were killed near a U.S. aid site in Gaza. Hamas claimed that the IDF opened fire on innocent civilians, and the media immediately ran with it. Everyone was up in arms, and that same day, a deluded Kuwaiti antisemite in Boulder, Colorado, threw Molotov cocktails and used a homemade flamethrower to seriously injure six elderly Jews who were part of a march to bring home the hostages held by Hamas.
Retractions of this fallacious story were much slower in coming, and, when they did, most media made it sound like “well, they may not have done it this time, but this is certainly the kind of thing those Jews would do.” Sadly, most people get their news from the major media sites and, as a result, are easily deceived in their web of lies.
Israel Holds New Syria Responsible
On Tuesday, rockets were fired from Syria toward Israel. Soon after, the Israel Defense Forces hit back hard, targeting seven locations in southern Syria. Despite it being evident that the Syrian military was not behind the rockets, some of the sites belonged to new president Ahmed al-Sharaa’s government. When the smoke cleared, Israel made it clear that it would hold Damascus responsible for activities that took place within Syria’s borders, even if they were carried out by rogue militias.
Al-Sharaa’s people said they were investigating the origins of the rocket firing, denied knowing anything beforehand, and condemned Israel’s actions. Interestingly, in their statement, they included the phrase, “…firing at the Israeli side.” The rockets were aimed at the Golan Heights, and any reference to this area in the past would have been to “the occupied Golan.” This is a hopeful development from the new government.
Iran says, “No Deal!”
The media will try to tell you that having centrifuges is normal for any country that wants to have nuclear power, but that is false. It is far cheaper to buy uranium enriched to the necessary 3.5% than it is to make it yourself.
The only reason to have a vast array of centrifuges is if you want to enrich uranium all the way up to the 90% required for nuclear weapons. That is why both President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu say that Supreme Leader Khamenei is being disingenuous when he says that his centrifuges are simply for the power grid.
Currently, it appears that Trump and Netanyahu may have different views as to what to do about Iran’s centrifuges. Trump says he wants to make a deal. The president seems to be willing to allow Iran to temporarily keep the centrifuges if they are closely monitored by a Middle Eastern watch team to ensure that they don’t enrich beyond 3.5%.
The goal will be to bring Iran into what will ultimately become a Middle Eastern consortium of nations which will enrich its own power grade uranium in a location other than Iran. This uranium will be distributed within the consortium nations for their own power grids.
Netanyahu, on the other hand, doesn’t trust Khamenei as far as he can throw the old Islamist. He feels more drastic measures are needed. However, this doesn’t constitute a break between Trump and Netanyahu. They agree on the final outcome; they just disagree on the methodology.
All of it is moot right now anyway, because Khamenei and many of his cronies have this week made it clear that their centrifuges will not be touched. This will only cause more problems for the failing nation. Their economy is crashing, and more sanctions will lead to even more financial insolvency. Since last year, their oil exports to China have dropped by 1.1 million barrels a day, which is a 20% decrease. Too much more and the economy could collapse.
Ukraine’s Secret Attack on Russia
A semi-truck pulled up near a Russian military base. Panels in the roof of the trailers opened and drones zoomed up into the air. The explosive-laden UAVs raced toward the airfields, then detonated as they hit plane after plane. Thirty aircraft at numerous sites were completely destroyed, including two command and control aircraft, two cargo aircraft, and 26 bombers. Many others were damaged.
It took the Ukrainian military a year-and-a-half to prepare and place the 117 drones for Sunday’s Operation Spider Web, and the brilliant stealth attack caused more than $9 billion in losses for the Russian military.
What will the Russian reaction be? Many European countries are concerned that Moscow might actually go nuclear in their response. Those fears were heightened even more on Tuesday when Ukraine damaged with underwater explosives the foundations of the Kerch Bridge that connects Russia to the Crimean Peninsula.
On Monday in Istanbul, peace talks between the two sides ended after only one hour. Following yesterday’s bridge attack, it would be surprising to see them talking again any time soon.
Two-State Solution Coming Fast
As Israel’s devastating war in Gaza has ground on, the two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict somehow keeps gaining traction! It has now been fully revived and could become reality later this month through the UN Two-State Solution Conference called,
“Peaceful Settlement of the Question of Palestine and Implementation of the Two-State Solution.”
The conference is the largest gathering ever conceived by the international community to unite against Israel for the sole purpose to divide God’s land.
It is also the first Middle East peace conference not resided over by the President of the U.S.
The conference will be held under the auspicious of the United Nations in New York on June 17-19 and be hosted by French President Macron and the defacto King of Saudi Arabia, Muhammad bin Salmon (MBS).
French President Emmanuel Macron is pressing the UK and Germany, along with other European nations to jointly recognize a Palestinian State at the ‘high-level’ UN conference in mid-June, focused on achieving a two-state solution. Macron has called such recognition a “political necessity.”
Countries outside Europe are feeling the pressure, too. Australia has reaffirmed its view that recognition of Palestine should be a “way of building momentum towards a two-state solution.”
Did you catch that Ausie 2-step there? … Step ONE – Recognize a Palestinian State… Step TWO – Move to adopt the Two-State Solution!
During Macron’s visit to Indonesia in late May, Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto made a surprising pledge to recognize Israel if it allowed for a Palestinian state. This is concerning because Indonesia is the world’s most populated Muslim nation and one of about 28 nations that don’t currently recognize Israel.
France, Australia, the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Germany, Italy, Japan and South Korea are among the approximately 46 nations that don’t recognize a Palestinian state.

For those of you who don’t like to travel at night, this class is for you as June 22 has the longest daylight hours of the year!
We are thrilled to be watchers as the Lord sets the stage for the coming Tribulation and as we race through the final days of the Church-Age. So much is happening so fast… keep looking up!
We look forward to seeing everyone at the upcoming summer Prophecy Update Class on June 24 (Not June 17)!
In decades of teaching and reporting on Israel, the Middle East, and the End-Times, I have never witnessed such tense and dramatic prophetic-related-developments as we’ve seen since President Trump came back into office.
President Trump says that, “he’s on a mission from God.” Well guess what! I think there’s a lot more truth to that than he may realize so please keep President Trump and his family in your prayers.
This has been unlike anything we’ve seen and marked by international peace efforts, urgent diplomacy, prophetic tremors, and high-stakes alliances.
While most Churches and Christians aren’t paying attention, what’s happening in our world are headlines on the crucial movements about the Bible’s last-day nations.
From Russia to Iran, from Turkey to China, from the Arab Gulf states to the U.N. and to the shifting posture of Syria and the United States, the stage is being set.
Just as prophesied, Israel is now center stage and the world is embarking on its most dangerous escalation yet to divide the promised land and gang up against the Jewish people.
Showdown time is almost here!
