SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

The Israel Missile Defense Organization has successfully completed a series of live-fire intercept tests of the Iron Dome and David’s Sling weapon systems against threat-representative cruise and ballistic missiles, the Defense Ministry said Tuesday. It is the first time the the Iron Dome system intercepted a cruse missile.

You can try as hard as you can, but you will never get past that King James Bible, and let me tell you why. The Bible says that King Jesus during His Millennial Reign will sit on the throne of His father, David, and in 2020 what is the fancy, high-tech name of Israel’s missile defense system? David’s Sling.

“He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.” Luke 1:32,33 (KJB)

David’s Sling can do amazing feats of modern technological power, like now being able to intercept a cruise missile in a live-fire drill, something that has never been done before. Israel has the most-powerful air force in the Middle East, and thanks to President Trump over the past 4 years, Israel is a pretty good shape right at the moment. But when you pick up that Book, what do you see? You see Israel making peace with the Palestinians, dividing their own land to create a Palestinian state and rebuilding the Temple in Jerusalem.

“When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:) Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:” Matthew 24:15,16 (KJB)

Everything will be going great right up to the moment when Antichrist sits down on the Mercy Seat in the Holy of Holies. Like I said, have all the modern-day inventions you want, you will never manage to get ahead of that dusty, old and archaic King James Bible, more up-to-date than tomorrow’s headlines.

“And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh. Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto. For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.” Luke 21:20-22 (KJB)

THE COMING LITERAL, VISIBLE AND PHYSICAL THOUSAND YEAR REIGN OF JESUS CHRIST ON THIS EARTH FROM JERUSALEM

Israel’s historic Iron Dome missile test: A message to Iran, Hezbollah, allies

FROM THE JERUSALEM POST: The test comes in the wake of Iran using cruise missiles and drones to attack Saudi Arabia’s Abqaiq oil facilities a year ago. That drone-swarm attack was a chance for Iran to show off its capabilities. Reports also indicated Iran sent ballistic missiles to militias in Iraq in 2018 and 2019 and that it sends precision-guided munitions to Syria and to Hezbollah in Lebanon. It also has drones that it has used from the T-4 base in Syria against Israel in 2018.

The threat matrix is changing, and among today’s enemies, Iran is Israel’s main regional adversary with multiple complex missiles and drones. To confront these myriad threats, Israel needs its own complex multitiered system. Iron Dome has worked for 10 years to confront close-range threats and is the workhorse of Israel’s air defenders. David’s Sling, which is supposed to face higher-level threats and is similar to the US’s Patriot batteries, uses an impressive interceptor to stop enemy missiles.

Both David’s Sling and Iron Dome are built by Rafael Advanced Defense Systems, Israel’s traditional research and development defense behemoth. Together with ELTA radar from IAI and other systems from Elbit, this exercise over recent weeks showcased Israel’s world-class defense companies and cooperation with allies such as the United States.

It is important to understand that the defense systems were used in this manner in the context of the emerging threats and Israel’s new ties in the Gulf and as the current US administration is leaving office. Israel rolled out the Momentum plan between late 2019 and early 2020. It calls for a dedicated IDF general to focus on “third circle” threats. Third circle is the term Israel uses to describe Iran or countries that lie beyond the direct area of engagement from Gaza to the Golan Heights.

Israel’s historic mode of warfare has mainly been on land against enemies along the borders, from the tank battles of the 1950s and ’60s to the Palestinian insurgency of 2000, the Second Intifada. However, today’s warfare is not about hunting down terrorists in buildings or using tanks; it is also about confronting hi-tech missiles and drones. These modern threats have been on display as Hezbollah stockpiled 150,000 missiles and rockets. The recent war in the Caucasus also showcased how drones can transform war. That is why everyone in the region now wants missiles and missile-defense systems.

The United Arab Emirates is seeking to upgrade its systems through its purchase of F-35s from the US and many more drones and missiles. This illustrates that Israel’s missile-defense test has major ramifications for its new relations with Gulf states. But not only Israel needs missile defense. Saudi Arabia has used Patriots supplied by the US in recent years, and the US in Iraq also needed to deploy a system called C-RAM to confront rocket threats from Iranian-backed militias.

Add all this together and you can see a rapidly changing region in need of the kind of defense technology that Israel has developed with US backing.

The US is a partner in the Arrow and David’s Sling programs and has supported Iron Dome. But the latter is a unique Israeli solution, and together with David’s Sling, Israel is able to cover almost 100% of potential incoming threats. This means that when an enemy launches missiles or drones, the multitiered system will kick in with sensors, such as radar tracking the threats and displaying them on a map, forming an integrated picture of the threat and of the systems capable of stopping them. Arrow and David’s Sling combine to cover long-range threats, whereas Iron Dome batteries are a point defense that can defend a certain area. By deploying Iron Dome batteries at the right locations with radar on land and at sea, such as aboard the Sa’ar 5 and new Sa’ar 6 ships, Israel bolsters its massive multilayered defense umbrella.

This drill in the lead-up to Hanukkah showcased what Israel has accomplished in the last decade. Israeli missile defense has its origins in the 1990s, and close cooperation with the US led us here. However, it is important to note that the real revolution took place in the last decade through a unique partnership with companies such as Rafael and Israel’s decision to correctly anticipate emerging threats and invest in staying at least one step ahead of the enemy.

Iran can’t blackmail the region as long as Israel can increasingly build and deploy these systems.

That is important because as the end of the Trump administration nears, the Iranian octopus of threats in Iraq, Syria, Lebanon and Yemen appears to be growing, and it is chomping at the bit to begin a new reign of terror if it feels it is being appeased by the West.

Israel has the most hi-tech array of defense systems ever fielded in world history. But the question, as always, will be how these systems perform in real scenarios. That means also using Arrow as part of these drills, rather than conducting tests at sea or with the Arrow system’s sensors being used but without the actual missile. This is a struggle because real-world threats come in over mountainous areas, like the Golan, with drones or missiles trying to hide by being close to the ground. The recent test was a game changer, but the threats will continue until these systems are put to the test on the battlefield. READ MORE

Israel’s Iron Dome System Now Destroys Cruise Missiles; Message to Iran?

Host Erick Stakelbeck breaks down news that Israel just conducted a major air defense drill that Israeli officials are saying is unprecedented. As part of the drill, Israel’s Iron Dome missile defense system shot down cruise missiles for the first time and Israel tested all three tiers of its missile defense systems against a variety of aerial threats, including missiles, rockets and aircraft.

BREAKING NEWS: Israel Has Begun The Process Of Pre-Emptive Strikes On Iran’s Nuclear Facilities As Bombs Are Falling Tonight On Tehran

Israel begins preemptive strike against Iran, defense minister says; sirens wail across Israel

The chatter across social media tonight is deafening, and everyone is talking about the same thing, the soon-coming strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities by Israel. The US has evacuated all non-essential embassy staff across the Middle East, and US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee posted this: “At our Embassy in Jerusalem and closely following the situation. We will remain here all night. ‘Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!’ “ Something is about to go down soon, that’s the memo.

“Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.” Psalm 122:6 (KJB)

The US Department of State posted this earlier tonight: “Due to high tensions in the Middle East, the security environment remains complex and can change quickly. We remind U.S. citizens in Israel and the broader region of the continued need for caution and encourage them to monitor the news for breaking developments.” Word from NTEB sources in Jerusalem have informed us that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has entered the Mossad Command Bunker. Would you like to guess what that means? NTEB will bring you all the developments as the situation on the ground, and in the air, unfolds. Pray for the Jews, pray for Israel and pray for the peace of Jerusalem.

UPDATE: Israel has started the bombing of Iran’s nuclear facilities

FROM THE TIMES OF ISRAEL: Defense Minister Israel Katz says he has declared an emergency situation across the country due to Israel’s action in Iran. “Following the State of Israel’s preemptive strike against Iran, a missile and drone attack against the State of Israel and its civilian population is expected in the immediate future,” Katz says.

He says he has signed “a special order, according to which a special state of emergency will be imposed in the home front throughout the entire State of Israel.” READ MORE

Israel launches preemptive strike on Iranian nuclear sites, military targets

FROM THE JERUSALEM POST: Warning sirens have been set off to get the public ready for potential Iranian counter attacks of ballistic missiles on Israel. Iran has not yet fired ballistic missiles, but has thousands of them.

According to the IDF, Iran has enough uranium to weaponize it to nuclear levels, to 15 nuclear weapons within days In recent days, Iran developed a plan with Hezbollah and Hamas and other proxies to destroy the State of Israel, potentially including attempts to attack via all borders, including Egypt and Jordan. This was the point of no return according to the IDF. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has entered the security cabinet.

The IDF targets also include commanders, bases as well as nuclear sites, though the main goal is nuclear sites. Further, the IDF said in the last 20 minutes, Iran was taken by surprise and they were attacked in places they didn’t expect.

Israel has had strong coordination with the US, but Israeli military officials refused to say whether America was pre-updated or fully coordinated into the current attack, coming hours after Washington seemed to suggest it might not be in the loop or approve. There was also a possibility that Israel having its navy in the area of Yemen and Iran could have military implications, though the IDF did not fully specify.  This is a developing story.

RIOT SEASON: As Spring Draws To A Close, Shocking Simultaneous And Overlapping Events Tell Us That It’s Going To Be A Long, Hot And Bloody Summer

Riot season has returned as multiple end times events are all firing at the same time, all we need now is the sacrifice to get things started

Christian, it might be a good time to buckle up because end times events are mere moments away from ‘hitting the fan’ and spraying the pieces into every direction. As you read this, the following events are locked and in place. President Trump is using the military to stop the anti-ICE protests, the No Kings anti-Trump event will take place in a minimum of 1,800 cities across the country on Saturday, the Bilderberg Group is conducting their annual meeting this whole weekend, and on Tuesday Emmanuel Macron and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman will take over the United Nations to create a Palestinian State. The cup is full, and it’s about to run over. That’s the memo.

“For in the hand of the LORD there is a cup, and the wine is red; it is full of mixture; and he poureth out of the same: but the dregs thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall wring them out, and drink them.” Psalm 75:8 (KJB)

Riot season has returned, something we haven’t seen since Donald Trump was president the first time. Hmm, what a coincidence, I wonder if there’s a connection, probably nothing to it. The No Kings event on Saturday s billed by the Leftist media as a ‘peaceful event’, which means you can set your watch for how fast it will turn violent and the first sacrifice will be offered. Remember the George Floyd riots? David Dorn was the sacrifice. Remember January 6th? Ashli Babbitt was the sacrifice. Remember when Trump got the warning shot to his ear? Corey Comperatory was the sacrifice. When you see the sacrifice this time around, you will know riot season has officially begun. The Deep State is predictable if nothing else.

In the midst of all this chaos, there is one more event we haven’t mentioned that will also be taking place on Saturday June 14th at the same time the No Kings event starts. In Washington, DC, President Donald Trump will celebrate his birthday with one of the largest and most-expensive military parades this country has ever seen. Think about that for a moment. While violent protests are happening in 1,800 cities across the country, the president salutes himself with an over-the-top display of military firepower. Think of what your reaction might be if this was Obama doing it, or Biden doing it. Imagine what you would say about that. If you’re intellectually honest, you’ll say it about Trump.

The last time we did a Saturday Podcast was on October 7th, 2023, and Lord willing we will do one this Saturday, June 14th. Am I putting current events in that same class? You better believe it.

“For those people that want to protest, they’re going to be met with very big force,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office, making no distinction between violent and peaceful demonstrators. “And I haven’t even heard about a protest, but you know, this is people that hate our country. But they will be met with very heavy force.”

THERE WILL BE WAR: On Saturday June 14th The Radical Left Launches The ‘No Kings Nationwide Day Of Mass Defiance’ Across America, Be Ready

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 depose Donald Trump

As we’ve been telling you all week, 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. Are you ready for the ‘No Kings’ mass casualty event? You better be because it’s coming, and that’s the memo.

“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.” 1 Thessalonians 5:3 (KJB)

I am writing this article to you from an undisclosed location as our family is taking some much-needed vacation, but I brought the laptop ‘just in case’ and I’m glad I did. I didn’t have time to research where the funding for the ‘No Kings’ event is coming from, but if I had to guess it would highly likely be coming through a George Soros proxy group because it usually always does. The verbiage below is taken directly from the ‘No Kings’ site, and I’d advise you to believe them. Welcome to Day 1,913 of 15 Days To Flatten The Curve, and the summer of bloodshed, destruction and violence just like 2020.

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
