OPERATION DRAGON COVENANT: Army Planners Estimate Capacity To Temporarily Bury 2,400 Fallen Troops A Day As Washington Weighs Renewed Military Attacks Against Iran

All across Europe, governments are telling their citizens to prepare for emergencies that could interrupt the services modern life depends upon. Britain’s October 22 preparedness campaign urges households to plan for disruption to electricity, water, phones and the internet. Sweden’s 2024 “In Case of Crisis or War” brochure explicitly addresses the possibility of armed attack and households surviving a week without outside assistance. The European Union’s 2025 preparedness strategy brings civilian and military readiness together, including emergency stockpiles, joint exercises and at least 72 hours of household self-sufficiency. Taken together, these measures reveal a serious planning assumption that the systems people rely upon could become overwhelmed, disrupted or unavailable. In America, the US Army has launched Operation Dragon Covenant to train soldiers on the most efficient way to bury the bodies of thousands of dead soldiers at a time. Is anyone starting to see a theme here?

“Yea, all the people of the land shall bury them; and it shall be to them a renown the day that I shall be glorified, saith the Lord GOD.” Ezekiel 39:13 (KJB)

At Fort Bragg, Operation Dragon Covenant brought together engineers, fatality management specialists, preventive medicine personnel and chaplains to test large-scale temporary battlefield interment. The Army describes standard plots holding 100 remains in five trenches. Based on excavation times, planners estimated that an engineer company equipped with eight bulldozers and four military excavators could prepare and close trenches for up to 2,400 remains in 24 hours of continuous operations. That figure measures estimated burial capacity; behind it lies the grim possibility of a battlefield where the dead cannot be promptly evacuated. The Army says it has not executed temporary battlefield interment at scale since the Korean War. Consider the human reality behind those calculations: fallen service members awaiting recovery, families awaiting answers, and combat conditions severe enough to interrupt the journey home. The soldiers developing these procedures are confronting consequences that every political leader contemplating escalation right now should be made to explain.

According to the Associated Press, American officials have warned regional allies to prepare for possible military action after the November 3 elections and Iranian retaliation against energy facilities and other critical infrastructure. Those warnings describe how another offensive could reach beyond the targets of the opening strikes and disrupt the systems that sustain civilian life. The much broader picture is that governments are increasingly preparing for conditions in which both civilian services and military support systems come under extraordinary strain. Households are being asked to build reserves; Army engineers are testing burial trenches. The public deserves a clear explanation of the risks driving those preparations. Before Washington launches another offensive, Americans should demand specific objectives, an accounting of the potential human cost, and an explanation of how leaders intend to prevent the next escalation from becoming a much larger war.

Listen to What Our Donation Angels Have to Say About the Ministry of Now The End Begins

• “You are truly an end time ministry and I appreciate how our Precious Lord is using you to educate his very own flock.

God Bless You , also your Ministry and your family. IN JESUS MIGHT NAME.” T. Muto
• “Jesus. I am now 64 years old and never in all the years I’ve been a Christian was I able to grow in the Lord as much as I have in the last past year. All because of our blessed brother’s work Geoffrey Grider who as the bravery of standing fast forward without fear of claiming the truth of God by the power of his love in Jesus Christ. May God bless you abundantly to the end my dear brother… ROMANS: 8: 36,37,38” Mireille Anderson
• “I met you at the car dealership earlier this year. We spoke briefly, then you handed me a card and told me to check out the website. You left. A few minutes later, you returned to tell me not to forget to look up the website. I told you…” I already did. I already subscribed.” In that short time we spoke, I experienced from you…a total stranger…peace, joy, kindness, gentleness, compassion, and love. I am convinced that God sent you to share the Good News that Jesus Christ is our Lord and Savior. For that, and for the work you are doing for the Kingdom of God, I say…Thank you and God Bless You.” Sonia Merced
• “I really enjoy the emails and Bible studies! I haven’t found a church and enjoy your services very much! Be blessed brother!” Marcia Mann
• “You and your organization are on the front lines in the Battle For Truth…. current events, end times, and trying to awaken a sleeping Laodicean Church. Thank you brother for fighting for us and all your teaching and insight God bless…” Daniel Cartrette
• I just want to thank you for the teachings you give every Sunday night on radio.  You are such a blessing to me. I absolutely love your way of teaching the scriptures.  I don’t have a church where I can have fellowship and teaching, so you have been my teacher for many months now. Thanks God you are there for all of us who have no church to go to.  I pray that the Lord will bless you abundantly in your ministry, and your loved ones too.  You are such a blessing to me, and many others, in these last days before the rapture.  Thank you so much Geoffrey, from the bottom of my heart. May the Lord keep you, until He comes back for us. You are in my prayers.” Donald Godin
• “Thank you for the work  you are doing brother.  Your page and your testimony were a blessing to me this morning as I came across it for the first time.  Thank you for the reality of your testimony and what God has done for you in introducing you to Jesus our Lord.  God has brought me, in salvation, to Himself as well, through His love and mercy and grace in salvation.  How can we praise Him enough?  How can we not share this good news!?  I pray this day for God’s blessing on your ministry that He may save many souls through the work He has called you to.  Isaiah 40:31 (KJV)” Mark and Melissa

• “I give because not many news outlets are brave enough or Godly enough to tell these stories from a Christian’s point of view. I see stories here that will not be seen anywhere else.” William Grayshaw
• “It’s hard to find solid biblical teaching in America these days. It’s a blessing to be able to take part in a ministry financially without being concerned about false teaching. All glory to God! God bless!” Maximilian Swan
• “I donate because you are reporting the truth about the increasing wickedness of our time, as God’s word foretold. In so doing we are reminded to “Keep looking up” as we wait in joyful hope for the Lord’s coming, Maranatha! ” Anthony Sloane
• “Geoffrey has the best End Times News out there. I have been receiving his emails for years now and always enjoy his Sunday night messages although I don’t always think exactly as he thinks. We are all in this “boat of life” together and as I come to the end of my life’s journey here, I am more aware of Jesus’s call for us to be one as He and the Father are One.” Deborah Cleaveland

Two Weeks After We Shipped King James Bibles To Atascadero State Hospital, A Chaplain’s Beautiful Testimony Shows What Happened When The Boxes Were Opened

There are places in our society intentionally built for maximum separation, spaces where razor wire, heavy steel doors, and strict security protocols define daily life. The California Department of State Hospitals Atascadero is one of those places. As a maximum-security forensic psychiatric facility, it houses men who are navigating both profound psychological crises and complex legal paths. To the world, it is an institutional fortress. But to a ministry like Bibles Behind Bars, it represents a profound mission field. You are really going to enjoy what the chaplain there told us today about the impact the Bibles we send there have on the inmates.

“Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise thy name: the righteous shall compass me about; for thou shalt deal bountifully with me.” Psalm 142:7 (KJB)

We sent a shipment of Bibles to them about two weeks ago, and today I read this from Chaplain Anderson – “Thank you very much for the large print, King James bibles you sent to us. As I walked down the hallway with the warehouse cart full of beautiful bibles, patients stopped me many times and asked for a bible. As I walked, and gave out many bibles, I looked back and saw men stopped in the hallway, leaned up against the wall and each one began to read and devour their brand-new King James bible! The forensics maximum security state hospital for the criminally insane was instantly filled with peace. My heart was filled with a deep sense of awe and gratitude at the kindness and mercy of Jesus Christ. May our God continue to bless you and shine His Mighty Face upon your ministry!” The graphic you see at the top of this article is an artistic representation of what that might have looked like, and man oh man, I sure do wish I could have been there to see the looks on their faces as they recieved their new Bibles. Don’t you?

Christian, take a moment to think about how scary it must be to be committed to a place like Atascadero State Hospital for the Criminally Insane, and praise the LORD that it’s not you in there. Then take a moment to reread Chaplain Anderson’s wonderful testimony about how the Bibles we provide to them bring such a sense of peace to the souls in those dark corridors. It is an honor, and a priviledge to be used of God in this way, to do this awesome and vitally important end times work. Now please come help us, we need you now more than ever.

Are They Warning Us Or Planning It? Governments Around The World Urge Citizens To Stockpile Supplies As Questions Grow About Crisis, Fear And Emergency Power

As governments tell their citizens to stock food, water and emergency supplies, an uncomfortable question begins to bubble up from the media fog. Could some of the rulers issuing these warnings also be deliberately creating the conditions for the emergencies they describe? That question reaches beyond mere preparedness into decisions about war, infrastructure and emergency authority. The official campaigns establish that governments anticipate serious disruption. Determining whether any leader intends to manufacture that disruption requires examining decisions, documents and operations. Those issuing the warnings deserve scrutiny, and scrutinize we will. What dangers are their own policies creating, and what powers would they gain if, and when, the feared emergency arrives?

“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)

History has a funny way of repeating itself. In 1962, the Joint Chiefs of Staff submitted Operation Northwoods, proposing manufactured incidents that could be blamed on Cuba to justify American military intervention. The declassified memorandum documents officials contemplating staged provocations as instruments of policy. That historical proposal establishes that such thinking has existed at high levels of government, and that governments have used false flag operations for hundreds of years. So when you have nearly two dozen nations, including our own Pentagon, all issuing preparedness warnings at the same time, and especially in light of the recent Plannedemic, we would do will to sit up and take notice.

On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, a frightened population facing interrupted food supplies, communications and commerce could become increasingly willing to accept whoever promises to restore order. Revelation 13 makes the connection between political authority, worship and control over buying and selling central to the coming beast system.
