FOLLOW THE MONEY: Vatican Bank (IOR) Posts Profits Of $40 Million In Annual Earnings Report
The Institute for Works of Religion, better known as the Vatican Bank, has released its earnings statement for 2016, showing a profit of $40.33 million.
The Institute for Works of Religion (IOR), better known as the Vatican Bank, has released its earnings statement for 2016, showing a profit of 36 million euros ($40.33 million).
“And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.” Revelation 17:4-6 (KJV)
On Monday, the Vatican Bank published its annual report claiming earnings more than double those of the preceding year 2015, when the Bank registered a profit of 16.1 million euros ($18 million).
“This result has been achieved thanks to a prudent approach in managing IOR’s investments in a year characterised by high volatility, global political uncertainty due to unexpected outcomes of major electoral events and low interest rates,” the IOR said in a press release Monday.
Although $40 million profit is nothing to sneeze at, it is a relatively small amount for the bank of an independent country.
By comparison, the Fortune 500 companies averaged profits of $1.78 billion each in 2016, or more than 44 times that of the Vatican Bank, according to a new report by Forbes.
The bank explained that during 2016 it “continued to serve with prudence and provide specialized financial services to the Catholic Church worldwide and the Vatican City state.” In 2016 the IOR had some 15,000 clients worldwide, consisting mostly of religious orders, Vatican employees and Catholic clergy, according to the report. As of December 31, 2016, the IOR was managing client assets worth 5.7 billion euros, slightly less that the 5.8 billion euros at the end of 2015.
Most of the Bank’s clients “are active in missions or perform charitable works at institutions such as schools, hospitals or refugee camps,” the report states. Its work is conducted worldwide, including “in countries with very basic infrastructure and underdeveloped banking and payment systems,” which means they depend on the IOR, especially for transferring donations from wealthier nations to poorer ones.
The report also notes that the IOR has consolidated and strengthened its internal governance and internal control system during 2016, implementing a Risk Appetite Framework and continuing to adapt to the new AIF regulatory framework while seeking “consistency with international best practices.”
Before the release of the report, the IOR’s 2016 financial statements were audited by the firm Deloitte & Touche and were reviewed by the Commission of Cardinals overseeing the institute’s work.
For years the Vatican Bank was plagued by financial scandals but Pope Benedict XVI and his successor Pope Francis carried out a major bank reform that ended in 2015 with the closure of about 5,000 accounts. source

Iran Unveils Massive Tehran Billboard Showing Donald Trump In A Coffin As The Regime Sends A Chilling Message Of Defiance And Mockery To America
Iran Puts Trump In A Coffin Before The Watching World As Tehran Escalates Its War Of Threats, Propaganda And Open Hostility Toward The United States
This is not merely a protest sign, this is a death threat stretched across the skyline of Tehran. Iran has taken the image of an American president, laid him inside a coffin, and turned the spectacle into a massive public billboard for the entire world to see. The message is designed to be unmistakable. Tehran wants America to know that the conflict is personal, the hatred is deep, and the regime is not backing away. He doesn’t want to do it, but Donald Trump now has no choice but to send in ground troops to finish this war he started 138 days ago. The “peace talks” just died.
“The Lord shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is coming.” Psalm 37:13 (KJB)
What makes the image so provocative is its deliberate theatrical cruelty. Trump is not shown defeated at a negotiating table or removed from office—he is shown dead, displayed and mocked, while hostile graffiti covers the coffin beneath him. This is psychological warfare dressed up as street art, meant to humiliate Trump, energize Iran’s hardliners and project defiance after months of military confrontation. It also exposes the fantasy that Iran has been permanently subdued. A government that feels crushed does not erect a billboard like this in the center of its capital. This is the imagery of a regime that believes it survived, absorbed the attack and emerged more determined to confront the United States. Tehran is telling Washington that the war of threats, symbols and retaliation is far from over.
Not only is Iran not afraid of the United States, now the regime is openly and directly taunting President Donald J. Trump with a huuuuugggeee billboard in downtown Tehran showing him in a coffin. This is what happens when you don’t finish the war you started. #taco pic.twitter.com/ngDUVEdK9r
— Now The End Begins (@NowTheEndBegins) July 16, 2026
America may view it as propaganda, but Iran intends it as a warning. They have not forgotten the strikes, the sanctions, the assassinations or the threats of regime change. The coffin billboard declares that Iran is no longer simply answering Trump’s words with words—it is publicly imagining his death and inviting an entire nation, and the world, to stare at it. Talk about your bold moves, this one incredible especially when you consider that it comes after 4 nights of air strikes and bombing from the United States.
For Donald Trump, the image is intensely personal. Iran has taken the man who built his political image around strength, dominance and intimidation and portrayed him motionless, powerless and dead. It is an attempt to reverse the psychological balance—to transform the man who threatened Tehran into the object of Tehran’s threat. The regime is telling him that every strike, every sanction and every promise of regime change has been entered into a ledger that Iran believes must eventually be paid in blood. But the warning extends far beyond one man. Trump may be the face inside the coffin, but the target of the message is the United States itself. Iran is declaring that American power does not frighten it into silence and that the cycle of strike, retaliation, escalation and revenge remains very much alive. The billboard is a weapon of psychological warfare, a recruiting poster for hardliners and a warning to Washington that Tehran is willing to keep this confrontation personal, public and dangerous.
This is what the world is looking at in central Tehran, not peace, not reconciliation and not a defeated enemy—but a regime raising the image of an American president’s death over its capital like a banner of unfinished business. The coffin is supposed to contain Trump, but the greater truth is that it contains the remains of every claim that Iran has been permanently broken. No one in the Trump administration seems to understand the first thing about the radical Muslim mindset, and until they do, victory for America, sad to say, will remain out of reach.

THE PROPHECY NEWS PODCAST: Just Like Japan In WWII, Communist China Is Furiously Rehearsing For All-Out War With Taiwan And The United States
China Rehearses For All-Out War As Satellite Images Reveal Mock US Warships, Fighter Jets, Naval Bases And Taiwanese Government Buildings Built For Target Practice
In 1941, Imperial Japan did not attack Pearl Harbor on a whim. Its pilots trained, its engineers modified torpedoes to operate in the harbor’s shallow water, and its commanders studied how to cripple the United States Pacific Fleet in one overwhelming blow. The strategic objective was simple: knock America backward long enough for Japan to seize territory, establish a defensive perimeter and present Washington with a completed conquest. Pearl Harbor was not intended to conquer America – it was intended to remove America from the battlefield at the decisive opening moment. Here in 2026, China appears to be quite busy doing the exact same thing.
“Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Behold, evil shall go forth from nation to nation, and a great whirlwind shall be raised up from the coasts of the earth.” Jeremiah 25:32 (KJB)
On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, satellite imagery reveals today that Beijing is building replicas of American aircraft carriers, Arleigh Burke-class destroyers, fighter aircraft, airfields and critical Taiwanese government buildings. These are not monuments to military history. They are targets. China is constructing physical representations of the enemy it expects to face, then using them to refine missile accuracy, surveillance systems, autonomous weapons and the ability to recognize and destroy specific American and Taiwanese assets. The modern Chinese equivalent of Pearl Harbor would not necessarily begin with Japanese-style aircraft appearing over Hawaii. It could begin with coordinated missile strikes against American bases in Guam, Japan and the western Pacific; cyberattacks against communications, satellites and infrastructure; strikes against U.S. carriers and destroyers; and a blockade or massive assault around Taiwan. The objective would be to blind, stun and paralyze the United States while Chinese forces move against the island. Just as Japan sought to remove the Pacific Fleet before advancing through Southeast Asia, China must remove—or intimidate—the American military presence that could prevent it from taking Taiwan. China is building American ships to destroy, American aircraft to target and Taiwanese buildings to assault. The rehearsal area is a warning written in steel, concrete and sand. Beijing is studying how to fight the United States because conquering Taiwan may require defeating America first. Don’t think that’s possible? Today’s Podcast is here to awaken you.

WARNING: The Pentagon’s NDAA Section 219 Will Create A Permanent Integration Between The United States And Israel Of Military Technology Systems
NDAA Section 219 Will Embed Israeli Technology Deep Inside The Pentagon’s Weapons, Intelligence, Cyber And Artificial Intelligence Systems
NDAA Section 219 is a proposed Pentagon-wide mechanism for permanently integrating the American and Israeli defense-technology systems. It would appoint a Department of Defense executive agent to accelerate the development, testing, procurement and deployment of Israeli-origin and jointly developed military technologies inside official U.S. weapons programs. It reaches across artificial intelligence, autonomous weapons, cyberwarfare, missile defense, surveillance, advanced sensors, data fusion, biotechnology, drones and defense manufacturing, while creating joint ventures, licensing agreements, co-production arrangements, training exercises and information-sharing channels with Israel. In practical terms, Section 219 is designed to move the U.S.–Israel alliance beyond ordinary aid and occasional weapons projects and embed Israeli technology, companies and strategic cooperation directly into the Pentagon’s permanent acquisition, industrial and operational infrastructure.
“There is no king saved by the multitude of an host: a mighty man is not delivered by much strength.” Psalm 33:16 (KJB)
The most disturbing aspect of the U.S.–Israel Defense Technology Cooperation Initiative is that it represents something far deeper than military friendship or foreign aid. It lays the foundation for a quiet technological merger between the Pentagon and the Israeli defense establishment. Israel does not need to command American troops if Israeli-designed systems increasingly control what those troops see, how threats are identified, which targets are selected and how American weapons respond. In modern warfare, the nation that controls the software, sensors, intelligence networks and artificial-intelligence systems can exercise enormous power without ever issuing a direct order.
This is how national sovereignty can be surrendered without a treaty, an invasion or a public announcement. Israeli technology enters the American military as a solution—missile defense, cybersecurity, drones, surveillance, data fusion and autonomous targeting—but once embedded inside official Pentagon programs, it becomes part of America’s military nervous system. Shared patents, proprietary software, classified algorithms, joint factories and interconnected supply chains could make the United States progressively dependent upon a foreign government and its defense contractors. Washington would remain sovereign on paper while losing the practical ability to operate independently.
Former congressman Dennis Kucinich on the US-Israel Defense Tech Cooperation Initiative contained in NDAA Section 219. “You could almost say this is a takeover. Netanyahu will have the ability to direct the US Military (through technology). This is totally unprecedented” pic.twitter.com/V5yGrTiRO4
— Now The End Begins (@NowTheEndBegins) July 14, 2026
The deeper danger is political capture. Once billions of dollars, congressional districts, defense contractors, military departments and Israeli corporations become attached to these joint programs, the machinery begins protecting itself. Every new contract creates another lobbyist, another factory, another government office and another reason that the relationship cannot be questioned. A future president might discover that challenging Israel would not simply cause a diplomatic dispute—it could interrupt weapons production, intelligence sharing, cyber defenses and critical military systems. At that point, Israel would not need formal authority over the United States military because America’s defense establishment would already be structured around preserving the relationship.
The real transfer of power would not happen through command—it would happen through dependency. And by the time the American people recognized how deeply the two systems had been joined together, separating them might no longer be possible.
The darkest interpretation is that Section 219 is building the architecture of an undeclared joint military operating system: Israeli battlefield technology and intelligence fused with American money, manufacturing capacity and global military reach. The American flag would still fly over the Pentagon, American generals would still stand before the cameras, and the chain of command would still appear unchanged. But behind the visible structure, the machines, networks and algorithms through which American power operates could become inseparable from Israeli technology and Israeli strategic interests. We support the nation of Israel, but this would be a catastrophic mistake.
