As Oil Sanctions Fail, Netanyahu Says Time To Strike Iran Is NOW

Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu advised visiting Chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Martin Dempsey Friday, Jan.20 that the time for action against Iran was now, for two reasons: First, the conviction that Iran has passed the point of no return for developing a nuclear weapon; and second, the diminishing prospects for a US-led embargo on Iranian oil to catch on before it is too late.

Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu advised visiting Chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Martin Dempsey Friday, Jan.20 that the time for action against Iran was now, for two reasons: First, the conviction that Iran has passed the point of no return for developing a nuclear weapon; and second, the diminishing prospects for a US-led embargo on Iranian oil to catch on before it is too late.

The Obama administration disputes the Israeli prime minister on both points, insisting there is still time for tough sanctions to incapacitate the Iranian economy and stop Tehran before it reaches the point of no return in its drive for a nuke. Israel insists that this pivotal point was reached four years ago in 2008.

Gen. Dempsey was exhaustively briefed on the Israeli position during his whirlwind interviews Friday with President Shimon Peres, Defense Minister Ehud Barak and three conversations with Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Benny Gantz, one with key General Staff officers.

It was not by chance that Maj. Gen. (ret.) Asher Yadlin, until last year Israel chief of military intelligence, maintained in a detailed article in the Tel Aviv daily Maariv: “If Iranian leaders were to convene tonight and decide to go ahead with the secret production of a nuclear bomb, they already possess the resources and components for doing so. This [capability] was once defined as the point of no return. [As matters stand] now, Iran’s nuclear timeline no longer hinges on the calendar; it rests entirely on a decision in Tehran.”
The former intelligence chief was saying that for four years, the US and Israeli governments colluded in propagating the false assumption that Iran had not reached a nuclear weapon capability. Presenting a highly problematic oil embargo in 2012 as capable of putting Iran off its nuclear stride is equally illusory.

Yadlin’s disclosure provided backing for Netanyahu who Thursday, Jan. 19, at the end of a visit to Holland, asserted for the first time: “Iran has decided to become a nuclear state” and called for “action now to stop Iran before it’s too late.”
Some of Israel’s cabinet ministers tried to soften the impact of the prime minister’s words by suggesting that his bluntness aimed at pushing President Barack Obama into implementing the sanctions he signed into law on Dec. 30 targeting Iran’s central bank and oil sales, and giving him an extra lever for bringing the European Union and Asian powers aboard.
But Netanyahu soon put them right. According to debkafile’s Jerusalem sources, he lined them all up to inform Gen. Dempsey – and through him President Obama – that they did not believe in those sanctions and suspected the Obama administration of orchestrating their buildup as a tool for holding Israel back from a unilateral strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities.

Debkafile’s oil sources in Asia and Europe report that updated figures confirm how little traction the oil embargo campaign has achieved so far: There is no evidence that China, Japan, South Korea, India, Turkey and the European Union members, which purchase in total 85 percent of Iran’s total average export of 2.5 million barrels a day, have cancelled any part of their orders.

While China – which in 2011 bought from Iran 550,000 barrels a day, covering 11 percent of its oil – cut its orders down in January by 285,000, this had nothing to do with ab embargo. Beijing was simply exploiting the threat of an embargo to squeeze from Iran a discount on prices and reduction of its debt for previous purchases. China made it clear to the Security Council that is opposed to “sanctions, pressure and military threats” against Iran. After settling its price dispute with Tehran, China fully intends to return to its former level of trade, even if it decides to partially diversify its oil sources to Saudi Arabia following Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao’s Middle East trip this month.

The European Union, which buys some 450,000 barrels per day from Iran, holds a special meeting Monday, Jan. 23, after failing last week to approve a cutback on purchases from Iran. Iran provides Greece, Italy and Spain respectively with about 25 percent, 13 percent and 10 percent of their oil. They are holding out for a very partial embargo and want it delayed until the end of 2012.
Japan, while pledging publicly to keep reducing its purchases of Iranian crude by 100,000 barrels a day, is waiting to see whether China and India join the ban. “The United States should try and talk more with India and China as they are the biggest buyers of Iranian crude,” said Japan’s foreign minister Koichiro Gemba this week, clearly passing the buck.

South Korea is only willing to forgo 40,000 bpd, but is asking for a waiver.

India’s Foreign Secretary Ranjan Mathai said this week that India, which as Iran’s second biggest buyer after China relies on Iran for 12 percent of its imports (3,500,000-4,000,000 bpd), will continue to trade with Tehran and not abide by sanctions.

In anticipation of a US-led ban on Iran’s central bank, Delhi announced this week that the CBI would open an account with an Indian bank for receiving payment for its oil, partly in Indian rupees instead of US dollars.
Turkey, keen to position itself as broker between the West and Tehran and the venue for future nuclear negotiations, is maintaining its import level of 200,000 bpd of crude from Iran.

Given the snaillike progress of the international oil sanctions campaign against Iran, the Israeli Prime Minister informed Gen. Dempsey Friday that he could not see his way to giving the Obama administration more time for these penalties to work. He stressed that the Islamic Republic’s nuclear program had reached the critical point where time was of the essence for preempting a nuclear-armed Iran. source – DEBKA

The Sierra Conservation Correction Center In California Just Sent Bibles Behind Bars One Of The Most Unique Requests We’ve Ever Received

Published

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

The Sierra Conservation Correction Center In California has reached out in need of King James Authorized Version Holy Bibles

The email I got from Chaplain Dean at the Sierra Conservation Correction Center In California yesterday, from the opening few words, was different from any other email request I can recall in recent memory. Not only was it so unique, it is a knockout powerful reminder of the importance of the Bibles Behind Bars program. Nothing like it anywhere, as you’ll soon see.

“To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house.” Isaiah 42:7 (KJB)

Chaplain Dean writes “Although officially the Catholic Chaplain, I’m one of only two chaplains serving our extensive inmate community. The other chaplain is Muslim. We have several requests for the King James Version, a few for the NKJV, and a growing interest in Bibles. As a Catholic, I bring my Revised Standard Version and have explained to our IP’s (Incarcerated Persons, as the system now refers to inmates) about the evolution of the ESV. All this to explain that whatever Bibles we receive are distributed quickly among our diverse population. So… please let me know what would be possible. Since it’s easy to obtain copies of the NIV and NLT translations, I’m contacting you to request the more faithful and precise versions which you and a few other ministries make available.” So that blew my mind, a Catholic chaplain serving alongside a Muslim chaplain, and requesting King James Bibles specifically. Wow. So I wrote back right away, told him we could help, and asked him a few questions. When 12 hours had elapsed without receiving a reply, I wrote a second time, and his reply blew my mind, for a second time.

He said “Bro. Geoffrey, Wow. You truly are amazing. I’ve contacted several suppliers of Bibles over the past four weeks, and not only are you the first to respond, but you’ve written twice, and immediately following my inquiry.  This testifies to your sense of urgency that our inmates receive high-quality translations of the Word.” Let that sink in for just a moment. Waiting a month for replies from ministries offering King James Bibles, a month, and the only answer he gets is from us. That’s it, right there, we have a sense of end times, last days urgency to get something done for the Lord Jesus Christ. Cut. Print. Wrap. That’s it. Praise the Lord!! Will you come help us?

When we send Bibles to jails and prisons, we’re not just ‘sending a book’, we are sending the preserved words of God, and flooding their cells with a Light above that of a thousand suns. We are Hope dealers to people society has cast off and rejected, precious souls who desperately need this live-changing gift of a Bible. Come help us to keep doing this vital end times work, we need you!

If God has prospered you, please take a moment to click on the donate button to help us in this monumental task of providing King James Bibles, New Testaments, scripture portions, gospel tracts as well as Spanish Bibles to inmates in jails and prisons from Florida to Alaska, and every state in between. We need your prayers, we need your generous financial support, and we need you to stand with us in the closing days of the Church Age. Thank you so very much, TO THE FIGHT!!!

UN Security Council Unanimously Votes To Approve Donald Trump’s ‘Board Of Peace’ Plan With A Mandate For Him To Part The Land Of Gaza And Take Control

Published

on

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

The UN Security Council today voted unanimously in favor of the Trump-backed ‘Board of Peace’ 20-point peace plan to divide the land of Gaza, land that God gave to Israel

The UN Security Council today by unanimous vote approved the creation of the ‘Board Of Peace’ 20-point peace plan proposed by US President Donald Trump, effectively giving control of all of the land of Gaza to the United States. The ‘Board Of Peace’, first proposed by Trump with himself as the head of it, has just been given a mandate by the United Nations to divide the land of Gaza as they see fit. Only one little problem. The ‘land of Gaza’ falls squarely within the original land grant God gave to Abraham, Gaza belongs to Israel and Trump has just taken control of it.

I will also 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 (KJB)


A U.S.-drafted U.N. resolution endorsing President Donald Trump’s Gaza peace plan passed overwhelmingly in the Security Council on Monday, a major victory for administration diplomacy as it struggles to implement its blueprint for what Trump has said would be “a new dawn” for the Middle East. The resolution provides a legal mandate for key parts of the plan, including persuading other countries to provide troops for an International Security Force that will take over security in the half of Gaza from which Israel has withdrawn.
 
In a statement after the vote, U.S. ambassador to the U.N. Michael Waltz expressed thanks to the members “for joining us in charting a new course in the Middle East for the Israelis and Palestinians and all the people in the region.” It demonstrates, he said, “the overwhelming support for the president’s vision.” source


Houston, we have a problem. It looks like Donald Trump was just given power and permission by the United Nations Security Council to part the land that belongs to Israel, the land of Gaza. But wait a minute!, you say. Doesn’t Gaza belong to the Palestinians? As you shall soon see, Gaza belongs to Israel and is included in God’s original land grant to Abraham. Did you also know that the Bible prophesied the forming of the United Nations General Assembly in the last days? Read it for yourself:

“Therefore wait ye upon me, saith the LORD, until the day that I rise up to the prey: for my determination is to gather the nations, that I may assemble the kingdoms, to pour upon them mine indignation, even all my fierce anger: for all the earth shall be devoured with the fire of my jealousy.” Zephaniah 3:8 (KJB)

1. Gaza Was Part of the Land God Promised to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob

When God gave Abraham the land covenant, He defined its southern border as the region that includes Gaza.

“In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates: The Kenites, and the Kenizzites, and the Kadmonites, And the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Rephaims, And the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Girgashites, and the Jebusites. ” Genesis 15:18-21 (KJB)

“And as for the western border, ye shall even have the great sea for a border: this shall be your west border.” Numbers 34:6 (KJB)

The “great sea” is the Mediterranean. The “river of Egypt” is the border area near modern Gaza. Therefore, the Gaza coastline falls squarely inside the God-given land grant.

2. Gaza Is Specifically Named as One of the Philistine Cities Inside Israel’s Territory

The Philistines lived in Israel’s land, not outside it. Gaza is repeatedly listed as a Philistine stronghold inside Israel’s inheritance.

“For Gaza shall be forsaken, and Ashkelon a desolation: they shall drive out Ashdod at the noon day, and Ekron shall be rooted up.” Zephaniah 2:4 (KJB)

“And all the mingled people, and all the kings of the land of Uz, and all the kings of the land of the Philistines, and Ashkelon, and Azzah, and Ekron, and the remnant of Ashdod,” Jeremiah 25:20 (KJB)

The Philistines occupied Gaza, but they did not own it. They were squatters on Israel’s land.

3. Joshua Assigned the Land of Gaza to the Tribe of Judah

This is the clearest proof:

“This then was the lot of the tribe of the children of Judah by their families; even to the border of Edom the wilderness of Zin southward was the uttermost part of the south coast. And their south border was from the shore of the salt sea, from the bay that looketh southward: And it went out to the south side to Maalehacrabbim, and passed along to Zin, and ascended up on the south side unto Kadeshbarnea, and passed along to Hezron, and went up to Adar, and fetched a compass to Karkaa: From thence it passed toward Azmon, and went out unto the river of Egypt; and the goings out of that coast were at the sea: this shall be your south coast.” Joshua 15:1-4 (KJB)

Judah’s inheritance ran to the southern Mediterranean coast — exactly where Gaza is located.

This means:

✔ Gaza = Judah’s land

✔ Judah’s land = Israel’s land

✔ Therefore Gaza = biblical Israel

4. Samson’s Ministry Took Place in Gaza (Inside Israel’s Borders)

Samson was a judge of Israel, yet his battles took place in Gaza:

“Then went Samson to Gaza, and saw there an harlot, and went in unto her.” Judges 16:1 (KJB)

Samson was not traveling into foreign territory — he was confronting invaders living inside Israel’s land.

5. The Prophets Treat Gaza as Territory God Will Judge for Its Treatment of Israel

God’s judgment on Gaza is always tied to its hostility toward Israel — never as an independent, sovereign land.

“Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Gaza, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they carried away captive the whole captivity, to deliver them up to Edom:” Amos 1:6 (KJB)

The reason Gaza is judged is because of how it treated God’s people in God’s land.

6. In the Kingdom Age, Gaza Becomes Part of Israel Again

During the future Millennial Kingdom, Gaza is restored under Israel’s control.

“But they shall fly upon the shoulders of the Philistines toward the west; they shall spoil them of the east together: they shall lay their hand upon Edom and Moab; and the children of Ammon shall obey them.” Isaiah 11:14 (KJB)

“Yea, every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah shall be holiness unto the LORD of hosts: and all they that sacrifice shall come and take of them, and seethe therein: and in that day there shall be no more the Canaanite in the house of the LORD of hosts.” Zechariah 14:21 (KJB)

This is during Christ’s rule from Jerusalem — and it ends the Philistine occupation permanently. All the Canaanites driven out when King Jesus rules from Jerusalem and all the land from the original land grant is finally restored.

In conclusion this is what we see. Donald Trump was just given power by the United Nations to seize land that God gave to Israel, and to divide it up as he sees fit. Whether or not this is the fulfillment of what the prophet Joel saw, time will tell. But we know for sure that Donald Trump is messing with “holy ground” that’s a very ‘deadly piece of dirt’, and he better watch his step.

THE COMING PRINCE: President Trump Set To Welcome Antichrist Candidate Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman To The White House On Tuesday

Published

on

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has come to the White House to do a little end times shopping, and President Trump is more than happy to fill up his cart

Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman will be at the White House on Tuesday to meet with President Trump, with major deals on defense, global commerce, Artificial Intelligence and Middle East realignment on the table. Make no mistake about it, when you get past the warm smiles and ceremonial pomp, MBS is coming in hot and loaded for bear. That’s the memo.

“Yea, he magnified himself even to the prince of the host, and by him the daily sacrifice was taken away, and the place of his sanctuary was cast down.” Daniel 8:11 (KJB)

In the same way that he was so all-out for Israel in his first term, Donald Trump here in his second term is all-out for his Muslim friends in the Middle East, and that’s a troubling thing. People like Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman are dangling deals in his face to the tune of trillions of dollars, and like catnip to a kitten, large piles of money is something he cannot resist. The world is shifting from regional to global structures. Saudi Arabia is not just a Middle East actor—it’s becoming a global player, with technology, capital, defense. This meeting may serve as a pivot point when the “old order” of Middle East invisible power blocs gives way to a new configuration: Saudi + U.S. + Israel or Saudi as bridge between the East and the West. That is exactly the kind of repositioning the end times Scripture outlines. The Abraham Accords will be heavily discussed, with the price of normalization still being the creation of a state of Palestine. NTEB will bring you all the breaking news as it happens…TO THE FIGHT!!!

Saudi crown prince visits US with security, AI and nuclear on the agenda

FROM THE NY POST: A visit by Saudi Arabia’s de facto ruler to the White House for talks on Tuesday with U.S. President Donald Trump aims to deepen decades-old cooperation on oil and security while broadening ties in commerce, technology and potentially even nuclear energy. It will be the first trip by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman to the U.S. since the 2018 killing of Saudi critic Jamal Khashoggi by Saudi agents in Istanbul, which caused a global uproar. U.S. intelligence concluded that MBS approved the capture or killing of Khashoggi, a prominent critic.

The crown prince, widely known by his initials MBS, denied ordering the operation but acknowledged responsibility as the kingdom’s de facto ruler. More than seven years later, the world’s largest economy and the world’s top oil producer want to move forward. Trump is seeking to cash in on a $600 billion Saudi investment pledge made during Trump’s visit to the kingdom in May. He steered clear of mentioning human rights concerns during that trip and is expected to do so again.

The Saudi leader is seeking security guarantees amid regional turmoil and wants access to artificial intelligence technology and progress toward a deal on a civilian nuclear program.

“There is a page that has been turned” on Khashoggi’s killing, said Aziz Alghashian, Saudi-based lecturer of international relations at Naif Arab University for Security Sciences.

The United States and Saudi Arabia have long had an arrangement for the kingdom to sell oil at favorable prices and for the superpower to provide security in exchange. That equation was shaken by Washington’s failure to act when Iran struck oil installations in the kingdom in 2019. Concerns resurfaced in September, when Israel struck Doha, Qatar, in an attack it said targeted members of Palestinian militant group Hamas.

In the aftermath, Trump signed a defense pact with Qatar via executive order. Many analysts, diplomats and regional officials believe the Saudis will get something similar. Saudi Arabia has sought a defense pact ratified by the U.S. Congress in recent negotiations. But Washington has made that contingent on the kingdom normalizing ties with Israel.

Riyadh has in turn linked that to a commitment from Israel’s government, the most right-wing in its history, to Palestinian statehood. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who agreed to a Trump-brokered ceasefire with Hamas in Gaza last month after two years of war, on Sunday reaffirmed his staunch opposition to Palestinian independence.

A Trump executive order on defense similar to the pact with Qatar would fall short of the defense agreement the Saudis have sought. But Alghashian said it would “be a step on the way, part of the process, not the end of the process.” A Western diplomat based in the Gulf summed up the dynamic: “Trump wants normalization and Saudi wants a full defense pact, but the circumstances don’t allow. In the end, both sides will likely get less than they want. That’s diplomacy.” READ MORE
