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.

Donald Trump Says He Is Doing Good Deeds In Order To Get To Heaven, Why Hasn’t Any One In The White House Faith Office Told Him How To Get Saved?

President Trump is surrounded by professing Christians at the White House, yet he has no idea of the biblical plan of salvation. Why is that?

President Donald Trump is surrounded by Christians on every level, he even created the White House Faith Office where he installed Paula White as his spiritual leader. He has professing Christians like Christian Nationalist Pete Hegseth around him every day, you would think that someone in his circle would have given him the gospel by this point. You would think that, but you’d be wrong. Donald Trump told Fox News the other day he is busy working his way to heaven by stopping wars around the world. Nope, that’s not it, Mr. President, not by a long shot.

“Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.” Titus 3:5-7 (KJB)

Let me tell you what will not save your soul: baptism, the sacraments, confession to a priest, the Eucharist, mass, good works, good deeds, prayers of the saints, prayers to the saints, the Sinner’s Prayer, Mary, predestination, candles, amulets, the Universe, being raised in a church or attending a church service. Salvation exists in a payment made by Jesus Christ on the cross on your behalf. When you receive that payment by faith, His shed blood is applied to your account, and your sin debt satisfied before God. Asking Jesus into your heart does not ‘do the trick’, and neither does simply asking God to forgive you. You have a debt, and only a payment He approves of will be accepted. That payment is free, that payment is His shed blood, do you want it or not? That’s the price of admission to Heaven, Mr. President, your works don’t factor into the equation.

A Surreal Scene At The White House As The Combined Leaders Of Europe Were Lined Up In Chairs Like Schoolchildren As President Trump Lectured Them

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

The assembled leadership of Europe were sat down like schoolkids around the desk in the Oval Office while ‘teacher’ Trump lectured them on Russia and Ukraine

It was a wild scene in the Oval Office yesterday as the leaders of Italy, Germany, France, Finland, the president of the EU Commission, and the NATO secretary general were all put in chairs around the Resolute Desk while President Trump pontificated on how to proceed with ending the war between Russia and Ukraine. It was crazy, just look at the disdain on all their faces, like something out of an end times movie. That’s because we are living in an end times movie, and that’s the memo.

“For the LORD hath poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep, and hath closed your eyes: the prophets and your rulers, the seers hath he covered.” Isaiah 29:10 (KJB)

On the Podcast yesterday, I talked about why Putin only wants to deal with Trump, and that’s because Putin knows that, in the end, he gets just about everything he wants from Trump that he would never get from talks with anyone else. All Trump wants is the Nobel Peace Prize for ending the war regardless of how the war is actually brought to an end. Trump becomes Putin’s proxy to deliver and dictate the terms to Zelensky and Ukraine. Fun fact, Putin will never, in a million years, agree to a ‘peace deal’ that is not highly slanted in his favor including acquiring parcels of Ukrainian territory he needs to rebuild the old Soviet Union. Don’t get me wrong, I hate war and would love to see peace in Ukraine, but that’s not going to happen because “and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.” 

European leaders discuss Ukraine security guarantees after Trump talks

FROM THE GUARDIAN UK: Monday’s White House meeting shed little light on Putin’s territorial terms. The Russian leader has demanded Ukraine’s withdrawal from Donetsk and Luhansk, but Zelenskyy has set a firm red line against ceding land beyond the present occupation or legitimising Moscow’s control.

Some observers say that for all the diplomatic manoeuvring, there has been little real movement towards ending the war. “Nothing had happened in Anchorage on Aug. 15th. Nothing happened yesterday in Washington DC,” Gérard Araud, the former French ambassador to the US, wrote on X. “Putin, Zelenskyy and the European leaders were all relieved: they had avoided Trump taking unwelcome decisions. It was the triumph of empty vagueness and meaningless commitments.” READ MORE

President Trump whispered ‘I’ll help you’ to Vladimir Putin and then gave him Ukraine at the Summit in Alaska paving the way for reemergence of the Soviet Union

With Emmanuel Macron leading the way, European leaders rush to Washington DC to plead Zelensky’s cause after Trump hands Ukraine to Putin on a silver platter at Summit in Alaska. As we have said before, it’s a strange thing to watch ‘peace talks’ with the aggressor nation that leave out the victim nation that was attacked. It’s quite similiar to the deal made during WWII between Germany and Russia to decide the fate of Poland. It feels like we’ve seen this movie before, and that’s the memo.

“The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.” Ecclesiastes 1:9 (KJB)

On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, students of history know exactly what Vladimir Putin is up to, couldn’t be any more clear. Putin is working to restore the old Soviet Union and lay the groundwork for WWIII. US President Donald Trump is way out of his league here, as was evidenced at last week’s Ukraine Summit in Alaska. Remember back in 2012 when former president Barack Obama whispered to Russian president Dmitry Medvedev that ‘I’ll have more flexibility after the election’, and how outraged we all were by that seeming capitulation? Last week, President Trump whispered to Vladimir Putin ‘I’ll help you’ and then gave him Ukraine. New boss same as the old boss. Now the heads of Europe led by Macron are in Washington DC to beg and plead for Zelensky and Ukraine, how’s that going to go? On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, we show you.
