Iran’s Alborz warship has entered the Red Sea through the strategic Bab al-Mandeb Strait, Iran’s Tasnim news agency has reported, at a time of heightened tensions over the globally important waterway.

Our first news story of 2020 was about the first-ever and historic joint war games between Russia, China and Iran, and we all know how that year turned out. In 2024, Iran is once again grabbing the headlines by inflaming tension in the Red Sea as the possibility of war with the United States grows ever more likely. At the same times, the USS Gerald R. Ford aircraft carrier strike group has been recalled from its post over Israel, and will be replaced by amphibious assault ship the USS Bataan and its accompanying warships, the USS Mesa Verde and the USS Carter Hall.

“And now will I shew thee the truth. Behold, there shall stand up yet three kings in Persia; and the fourth shall be far richer than they all: and by his strength through his riches he shall stir up all against the realm of Grecia.” Daniel 11:2 (KJB)

Israel continues to battle Hamas in Gaza, an operation that will likely continue well into the new year, while Hezbollah in Lebanon and the Houthi rebels in Yemen continue to threaten an escalation in the fighting. Funny, no one has even mentioned Russia and Ukraine for some time now. We are right in the middle of the ‘wars and rumours of war’ portion of this stage play, with Flight #777 warming up her engines on the tarmac. That’s the memo for the new year, please conduct yourself accordingly.

Iran deploys warship Alborz to Red Sea amid soaring tensions

FROM ALJAZEERA NEWS:  “The Alborz destroyer entered the Red Sea … by passing through the Bab al-Mandeb” waterway at the southern tip of the Red Sea, connecting with the Gulf of Aden in the Indian Ocean, the news agency said on Monday.

It added that Iran’s naval fleet has been operating in the area “to secure shipping lanes, repel pirates, among other purposes since 2009”.

The United States in early December set up a multinational naval task force for the Red Sea following a flurry of missile and drone attacks by Yemen’s Iran-aligned Houthi rebels on merchant vessels, which led shipping companies to suspend passages through the now highly militarised area.

The Houthis say the attacks were in solidarity with Palestinians in the besieged Gaza Strip, where Israel is continuing a months-long bombardment campaign.

According to the International Chamber of Shipping, 12 percent of global trade passes through the Red Sea, which provides a shortcut past Africa via the Suez Canal.

The Tasnim report comes a day after US Navy helicopters fired on Houthi rebels attempting to board a cargo ship off Yemen, with the rebels reporting 10 fighters dead. It also comes after Sayyed Razi Mousavi, one of the top commanders of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps in Syria, was killed in an Israeli air strike outside of Damascus last week. READ MORE

Iran confirms deploying warship Alborz to Red Sea as tensions rise

Iranian state media confirmed Tehran sent a warship to the Red Sea as the area rapidly militarises. The IRIS Alborz, part of the 94th Naval Fleet of the Iranian army, travelled through the Bab al-Mandeb Strait near Yemen to arrive at the Red Sea. The news comes as state media reported Iran’s security chief, Ali Akbar Ahmadian, held a meeting with top Houthi negotiator Mohammad Abdulsalam. Houthi attacks on tankers passing through the strait of Bab Al Mandab to the Red Sea are disrupting one of the busiest shipping lanes in the world. Houthis say they are targeting vessels linked to Israel in a show of solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza.

They call it the Zuckerbunker, the brainchild of billionaire Mark Zuckerberg to turn an idyllic Hawaiian island into a fortified compound to defend against the apocalypse. Will it work?

Someone once said, when remarking about the wealth of the Gilded Age tycoons, John D. Rockefeller was so poor that all he had was money. That’s not Bible but the book of Ecclesiastes talks a lot about that very subject. Mark Zuckerberg is one of those people, worth billions of dollars but completely bankrupt spiritually, and all his doomsday preparations won’t save him from the wrath which is to come, and indeed is almost here. Salvation is the one thing his money cannot buy.

“Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you. Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten. Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days.” James 5:1-3 (KJB)

So let’s talk about the Zuckerbunker for a moment, the timing of it is quite suspicious. On the last two Prophecy News Podcasts, we talked about the likelihood of a second Civil War happening in America, and the spate of new movies that deal with that very subject. One is called ‘Leave The World Behind’, produced by former 2-term US president and current ‘basement president’ of the Biden administration, and the other called simply ‘Civil War’ due in April of 2024. It is in the midst of all this that Mark Zuckerberg is frantically working to complete his massive Zuckerbunker compound called Koolau Ranch on the Hawaiian island of Kauai. What does he know that we don’t know? Zuckerberg is not the only tech billionaire building bunkers, nearly all of them are doing it. It’s funny that these tech titans see themselves are the creators of a brave, new world, yet have prepared hiding places for themselves for what they think they know is coming when that new world goes bad. It’s what they don’t know is coming that they should be preparing themselves for.

Bizarre Leaked Features Of Mark Zuckerberg’s Secret Zuckerbunker

FROM SLASH GEAR: The most striking thing about Mark Zuckerberg’s megalomaniacal maze of mammoth mansions and subterranean structures isn’t that it exists but how hard the billionaire worked to conceal it from the public. One Kauai architect compared Zuckerberg’s ambitions to those of ancient kings who killed their architects to preserve palatial secrets, while those on-site have compared the project to top-secret military installations and the fight club from the movie “Fight Club.”

Nevertheless, it was impossible to hide a construction project of this scale from the Hawaiian locals, who retain a tight-knit community. Despite a significant portion of the island being bound by NDAs, knowledge of the bunker spread along the local grapevine. Some speculate that Zuckerberg intends the facility as a doomsday bunker, which may explain the blast-resistant door and underground shelter with concrete-reinforced metal — more on that later. It would also explain the compound’s self-sufficient water and power systems, as well as the on-site agricultural operations.

Like those building pyramids for the pharaohs or soccer stadiums for the World Cup, workers on the Zuckerbunker have fallen victim to injury and death. A 53-year-old crane operator was hospitalized after his crane tumbled down a hill, and a 70-year-old security guard died after becoming stranded on a rainy beach and succumbing to a heart attack. The guard’s family alleged in a wrongful death suit that there was an attempt to cover up information related to the incident.

In the movie “Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery,” a tech billionaire, played by Edward Norton, builds a sprawling compound on a remote private island. The movie is a satire of the hubris displayed by modern billionaires. Yet, the compound built by Norton’s character pales in comparison to that currently being erected in Hawaii by Mark Zuckerberg. Norton’s character might have kept the “Mona Lisa” on his island paradise. Still, according to WIRED, Zuckerberg’s Koolau Ranch has more than a dozen buildings comprising 30 bedrooms, 30 bathrooms, two mansions, offices, conference rooms, elevators, and an industrial kitchen to keep everyone fed.

If you’re going to build a Bond villain-esque secret hideout on an island, you might as well go whole hog on the concept. Sure, you could put normal doors on it like a normal person, but where’s the fun in that? According to WIRED, Mark Zuckerberg equipped his sprawling Kauai headquarters with a variety of hidden doors, blast doors, and other high-tech entrances.

The door to the bunker’s underground bomb shelter is the most bizarre of all. It is comprised of a metal shell filled with concrete, making it resistant to explosions. Other doors around the complex are designed to be soundproof, adding another layer of mystery to the entire operation. READ MORE

Is this what the Zuckerbunker is being built for?

Mark Zuckerberg’s compound on Kauai will have more than a dozen buildings with two central mansions connected by a tunnel that leads to a 5,000-sq. ft. underground shelter with an escape hatch. The Zuckerbunker will be a great place to ride out the coming civil war.

First Lady Jill Biden’s efforts at spreading some Christmas joy have been met with derision and astonishment from many who have labeled her ‘hunger games’ celebratory video as ‘bizarre’ ‘freaky’ and ‘absolute garbage.’

Not since pretend Joe Biden appeared on national television evoking a Nazi Germany esthetic has a video created such a buzz, albeit a bad one. Welcome to the Jill Biden Christmas Video Special, only it’s like Christmas in the Matrix. If you thinking the eternal weirdness we live in was winding down, you’ll be disappointed after watching her video. One thing you’ll like about the Jill Biden video is that, if you’re a Liberal, it won’t bore you with any needless references to Jesus and the virgin birth. That story is not welcome here. But transgender X-mas dancers, and characters from ‘The Shining’? Yep, all that and more.

“Every man is brutish by his knowledge; every founder is confounded by the graven image: for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them.” Jeremiah 51:17 (KJB)

On the Podcast on Friday, we’ll give you the latest updates on the coming Civil War that everyone’s talking about, America is like a helium balloon with the air rapidly escaping and causing it to fly around erratically until it finally hits the wall and the lights go out. Christian, we are living in a Chick tract, and soon things are going to change for us quite dramatically. Get something done for the Lord before it’s time to go.

Jill Biden’s White House Christmas video is slammed as having a ‘hunger games’ vibe

FROM THE DAILY MAIL UK: The video, posted by Dr. Biden on Wednesday, shows members of a New York City-based dance troupe, Dorrance Dancers, doing a tapdancing ‘playful’ interpretation of The Nutcracker Suite through the halls of the White House. The group are in a candy-themed hall leading into the main Christmas tree in the Blue Room, since 1961 the main tree has usually been housed there. The dancers show off how each room has been decorated for the celebrations.

First Lady Jill Biden’s efforts at spreading some Christmas joy have been met with derision and astonishment from many who have labeled her celebratory video as ‘bizarre’ ‘freaky’ and ‘absolute garbage.’ The video, posted by Dr. Biden on Wednesday, shows members of a New York City-based dance troupe, Dorrance Dancers, doing a tapdancing ‘playful’ interpretation of The Nutcracker Suite through the halls of the White House. The group are in a candy-themed hall leading into the main Christmas tree in the Blue Room, since 1961 the main tree has usually been housed there. The dancers show off how each room has been decorated for the celebrations.

‘A bit of magic, wonder, and joy brought to you by the talented tappers of Dorrance Dance, performing their playful interpretation of The Nutcracker Suite. Enjoy!,’ Dr. Biden wrote.

‘Magic, Wonder and Joy’ is the theme this year, President Joe Biden’s third in the White House.

Throughout the video, the dancers smile in bright costumes, tap dancing away, but many on social media questioned what exactly the clip has got to do with Christmas. The ballet in which the Nutcracker suite appears is set on Christmas Eve.

The comments under Dr. Biden’s official X account were not kind: 

Right-wing blogger Ian Miles Cheong said that Dr. Biden’s 2023 efforts were gave off a ‘Hunger games aesthetic.’ Anti-vax activist Alex Rosen chimed in saying: ‘The second hand embarrassment is off the charts.’

‘This should’ve come with a sensitivity label. This is horrendous,’ wrote the infamous Libs of TikTok account. ‘ABSOLUTE GARBAGE,’ was another person’s opinion.

‘It’s a mentally ill Christmas at the Biden White House,’ comedian Tim Young tweeted. ‘You are so strange. Bizarre. Freaky,’ said another person.

Conservative activist Brigitte Gabriel said: ‘Children should not be watching this smut.’

‘Desperately pandering. SO.MUCH.CRINGE,’ wrote another user.

‘The only thing missing was Dylan Mulvaney!!!,’ said another person, referencing the 2023 scandal involving Bud Light and the trans influencer which led to a mass boycott. READ MORE
