More than 11 US warships, including the country’s largest carrier, the USS Gerald R. Ford, are bearing down on the Caribbean amid escalating tensions between President Trump and Venezuela.

More than Saudi Arabia, more than Iran, and more than every other nation, Venezuela sits upon the largest known oil reserves that exist anywhere on this Earth. Venezuela has 303 billion barrels of proven crude, but under Maduro’s socialist collapse, those reserves are basically locked away. A military intervention would place that oil under a new “friendly” government — or under direct U.S. strategic influence. Washington has wanted this for decades. Every administration knew it. Trump is going to be the one to take it. Oil is energy, and energy is power. That’s the memo.

“For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.” Matthew 24:7 (KJB)

On our Podcast today, our main story was about Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, and his fervent denial that he had ordered a ‘second strike’ on the ‘narcoterrorists’ gunboat. He said “As usual, the fake news is delivering more fabricated, inflammatory, and derogatory reporting.” A few hours after the Podcast wrapped, President Trump issued the announcement that yes, Hegseth had absolutely ordered the second strike that brutally killed the survivors of the first strike. Can you say ‘war crime’? And before anyone can be brought to trial, Trump will have already given the order for the US military to invade Venezuela. Is Trump really so concerned about stopping the drug trade that has been going on for over a century? Nope. He wants the oil, and he’s going to invade them to get it, because that’s what the people who hit his right ear with that warning shot last summer have told him to do.

11 US warships and 15,000 troops now in Caribbean as Venezuela tensions escalate

FROM THE NEW YORK POST: A Marine Expeditionary Unit capable of an amphibious land invasion has also been deployed as part of efforts to stem the flow of drugs into the US from the socialist country.

“The military’s job is to defend the homeland,” Secretary of the Navy John Phelan told Fox News on Saturday night. “That’s exactly what we’re doing, and we’re using our best assets to defend the homeland. Drugs kill more Americans than we’ve ever lost in wars,” he said. “So I think at the end of the day, the president has correctly identified this as an attack on the country, which it is.” Venezuela’s socialist president, Nicolas Maduro, is being blamed for allowing narco vessels to set off from his country for US.

JUST SAY NO. Listen as Congresswoman Maria Salazar tells you that Venezuela sits upon the largest known oil reserves on Planet Earth, and that Trump is going to take it. And oh, almost forgot, let’s stop the drugs, too, said no one ever. WWIII, anyone? pic.twitter.com/hyrl152ZlK

Among the 11 warships currently in the Caribbean is the USS Ford, which houses the Carrier Strike Group featuring nine carrier air wings, or more than 70 aircraft, including squadrons out of Virginia, Florida and Washington state. Other ships deployed to the region include the USS Iwo Jamia, a Wasp-class amphibious assault vehicle capable of carrying up to six Harrier II attack aircraft.

The USS Gravely and the USS Stockdale, two naval guided-missile destroyers, are currently operating in the Caribbean along with the larger guided-missile cruisers, the USS Lake Erie and the USS Gettysburg.

Up to 2,200 Marines, based out of Camp Lejeune and Marine Corps Air Base New River in North Carolina, are also stationed in the Caribbean. In total, around 15,000 troops, including the Marines on ships and about 5,000 personnel at bases in Puerto Rico, are now in the region, the Conversation reported. Roosevelt Roads naval base in Puerto Rico has been reopened as part of the buildup.

The growing firepower is part of Trump’s Operation Southern Spear, which aims, with support of the Coast Guard and Department of Homeland Security, to control the flow of deadly narcotics heading north to the US. It coincides with efforts to modernize US armed forces using AI, unmanned systems and hypersonic missiles, as well as a push from Trump to bring shipbuilding jobs back to America. READ MORE

President Donald Trump has declared Venezuela’s airspace is “closed in its entirety” after he vowed US land strikes will start “very soon”.

When President Donald Trump announces that Venezuela’s airspace is “closed in its entirety” and that U.S. land strikes will start “very soon,” you are watching prophecy, geopolitics, and the spirit of the age collide right in front of your eyes. This is no mere ‘diplomatic spat’. This is a global realignment, a chessboard in motion, and a sobering reminder that the times we are living in are not just politically unstable — they are biblically charged.

“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)

While Venezuela itself is not listed in the lineup of Ezekiel 39 nations, its patrons absolutely are. Venezuela is not just a troubled socialist state, it is a proxy hub for global adversaries and a strategic foothold for anti-American interests. Its alliances with Russia, Iran, and China make its territory far more than a regional issue. When Trump signals military action, the reverberations aren’t limited to Caracas — they echo in Moscow, Tehran, and Beijing. Russia is the leader of the northern confederacy, and Iran (Persia) is a major player in the prophesied coalition. These alliances are tightening. Their sphere of influence is expanding. And South America is no exception. Every conflict, every provocation, every military escalation is another data point showing us that the world stage is preparing for the next act. Who’s ready to fly?

 Trump declares Venezuela’s airspace ‘completely CLOSED’ after warning land strikes on drug gangs will start ‘very soon’

FROM THE SUN US: The US president’s warning comes amid escalating tensions between Washington and Caracas with fear ramping up over an all-out war over Venezuela’s drug gangs. The airspace closure comes as US and Venezuela continue to clash over Trump’s war on drugs – and the US ramps up its military presence in the Caribbean.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump announced: “To all Airlines, Pilots, Drug Dealers, and Human Traffickers, please consider THE AIRSPACE ABOVE AND SURROUNDING VENEZUELA TO BE CLOSED IN ITS ENTIRETY.”

US military aircraft are already said to be “almost constantly” conducting patrols in the international airspace near Venezuela, a US official told the Washington Post. On Thursday, Trump vowed to escalate military action against alleged drug smugglers, saying the US military would start land operations in Venezuela “very soon”.

He said: “You probably noticed that people aren’t wanting to be delivering by sea, and we’ll be starting to stop them by land also. The land is easier, but that’s going to start very soon.”

Last week, the US aviation regulator warned major airlines of a “potentially hazardous situation” when flying over Venezuela due to a “worsening security situation and heightened military activity in or around” the country. Venezuela has since revoked operating rights for six major international airlines that have suspended flights into the country following the warning from the US Federal Aviation Administration.

President Trump has launched The Genesis Mission to create an AI super-creature that sounds and looks like a digital Tower of Babel in advance of the Mark of the Beast

When President Donald J. Trump stood behind the Resolute Desk and signed the executive order launching what his administration calls The Genesis Mission, the world watched a seemingly routine announcement about science, technology, and competitiveness. But those paying attention — those who “have ears to hear” — saw something far more profound. Something prophetic. Something that looks less like an economic stimulus package and more like the blueprint for a digital Tower of Babel in the closing moments before the catching away of the Church.

“And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.” Genesis 11:4 (KJB)

The Genesis Mission is being heralded as the largest mobilization of American scientific resources since the moon landing. In reality, it appears to be the most comprehensive attempt yet to fuse artificial intelligence, federal datasets, national laboratory supercomputers, and automated robotic experimentation into a single, unified system of knowledge and control. A system capable of compressing scientific discovery — what once took years — into mere hours. A system whose goals sound eerily similar to the global technological regime prophesied to rise in the time of Jacob’s trouble.

“This order launches the “Genesis Mission” as a dedicated, coordinated national effort to unleash a new age of AI‑accelerated innovation and discovery that can solve the most challenging problems of this century.” read the whole order

The mission’s stated purpose is to accelerate discovery across biology, nuclear fusion, quantum systems, climate modeling, materials science, and more. In other words — to take the raw building blocks of God’s creation and place them under the predictive authority of artificially intelligent systems capable of designing, simulating, and executing scientific experiments without human oversight.

If that doesn’t sound like man attempting to rewrite the rules of creation, nothing does.

This is not merely research. This is re-creation — man attempting to simulate, automate, and accelerate the mechanisms of life and nature. It is scientific ambition dressed up as innovation, but it is spiritually identical to the rebellion that first appeared in Eden and climaxed at Babel.

The Abraham Accords, the Genesis Mission, is anyone else seeing the same pattern that we’re seeing?

The Genesis Mission Is A Digital Nervous System For Federal Power

For the first time in history, the U.S. government is attempting to unify:

• all federal scientific datasets
• all national laboratory supercomputers
• all major AI models
• all simulation environments
• all robotic experiment platforms…into one coordinated AI-driven infrastructure.

This creature will be a living system with:

• nerves (data pipelines),
• organs (labs and supercomputers),
• brain (federal AI models),
• hands (robotic labs),
• eyes (sensors and datasets).

This isn’t a program. It’s the creation of a national digital organism — a living, thinking, learning system whose purpose is to accelerate discovery, prediction, and control. If you’ve ever read Revelation, then you know what’s going on.

“And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.” Revelation 13:15 (KJB)

A Technological Run-up To The Time Of Jacob’s Trouble

The Bible tells us that before the Day of the Lord:

• knowledge shall be increased (Dan. 12:4)
• nations will clamor for power (Matt. 24:7)
• deception and signs will multiply (2 Thess. 2:9)
• a global system of control will emerge (Rev. 13)

How do you generate the technological scaffolding for such a system? You build something like the Genesis Mission. Of course, it will take all the ‘usual suspects’ like Palantir, Blackrock, DARPA, Bill Gates, Oracle, Peter Thiel, Elon Musk and all the rest of the tech titans to make this a reality. But isn’t that the whole point and purpose behind Stargate?

• Faster discovery.
• Centralized systems.
• Integrated data.
• Autonomous decision-making.
• National mobilization.
• Global potential.

“For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.” Revelation 17:17 (KJB)

Pieces falling into place, one executive order at a time. As we often remind our readers at NTEB: prophecy does not require the willing participation of world leaders. God uses kings, presidents, nations, armies — and yes, technologies — to move history toward its appointed end. Revelation 17:17 says that God will put it into their hearts to fulfill His will, and that’s exactly what we see taking place right now.
