3. Hamas fires 13 rockets after IDF retaliatory strike, testing 'bomb for bomb' equation - World Israel News
Terrorists in Gaza fired 13 rockets at Israel overnight as Hamas tried to divert attention from the historic signing ceremony in Washington, where two Gulf Arab states established full diplomatic relations with Israel.
As President Donald Trump hosted the peace treaty signing ceremony at the White House Tuesday afternoon, terrorists in Gaza fired two rockets at Israel, sending hundreds of thousands of Israelis scrambling to reach bomb shelters. The Iron Dome defense system shot down one of the rockets, but the second exploded on a street in the port city of Ashdod, injuring four Israelis, one moderately and three lightly.
DF aircraft retaliated with airstrikes at Hamas targets in Gaza, but overnight residents of a dozen communities that border Gaza were shocked out of bed by alerts starting at 4:30 a.m,. when terrorists fired 13 rockets over the next hour.

4. Gantz warns of harsher response to Gaza as IDF said to boost defense batteries - Times of Israel
Defense Minister Benny Gantz warned Wednesday that overnight airstrikes in the Gaza Strip in response to rocket attacks would be "the tip of the iceberg" of Israeli actions if attacks emanating from the Palestinian territory did not cease.
Meanwhile, the Walla news site reported that the army had deployed further Iron Dome missile defense systems in the Gaza periphery Wednesday in anticipation of further potential rocket barrages from the enclave. There was no immediate confirmation from the army.
Tuesday night saw 15 rockets launched at communities shortly after Israel signed US-brokered peace agreements with the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain. An initial attack of two rockets hit Ashdod, injuring two people, one of them seriously. The IDF carried out retaliatory strikes, leading to another barrage of 13 rockets in the early morning and a second wave of Israeli retaliation.

1. Chinese virologist: China's government 'intentionally' released COVID-19 - Fox News
The Chinese government intentionally manufactured and released the COVID-19 virus that led to mass shutdowns and deaths across the world, a top virologist and whistleblower told Fox News host Tucker Carlson on Tuesday.
Carlson specifically asked Dr. Li-Meng Yan whether she believed the Chinese Communist Party released the virus "on purpose." "Yes, of course, it's intentionally," she responded on "Tucker Carlson Tonight."
Yan said more evidence would be released but pointed to her own high-ranking position at a World Health Organization reference lab as a reason to trust her allegation.
"I work[ed] in the WHO reference lab, which is the top coronavirus lab in the world, in the University of Hong Kong. And the thing is I get deeply into such investigation in secret from the early beginning of this outbreak. I had my intelligence because I also get my own unit network in China, involved [in] the hospital ... also I work with the top corona[virus] virologist in the world," she said.
"So, together with my experience, I can tell you, this is created in the lab . . . and also, it is spread to the world to make such damage."

-Father God, we understand that we are in a silent war with China right now, and by the power and the authority in the name of Jesus Christ we cut at the root of China's evil influence throughout the world. We bind all principalities and powers working through the Chinese government to bring down other governments and impose tyranny on the world.
-"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." (Ephesians 6:12)
2. Pro-Communist China Group Funding Black Lives Matter-Linked Organization - Brietbart
The pro-communist China group, the Chinese Progressive Association (CPA) in San Francisco, is actively funding a venture by Black Lives Matter (BLM) co-founder and unabashedly anti-capitalist Alicia Garza.
On Tuesday, the Daily Signal first revealed that the Marxist-oriented CPA in San Francisco was handling donations for the Black Futures Lab group, described as the lobbying arm of Garza's global "revolutionary empire."
Clicking on the "Donate" button of the project's website redirects visitors to a San Francisco CPA page that says, "Black Futures Lab is a fiscally sponsored project of the Chinese Progressive Association. CPA is a 501 (c) (3) tax-exempt organization."
The San Francisco-based CPA has reported millions of dollars in contributions in recent years. CPA is no stranger to the BLM movement. In June, the state-sponsored newspaper China Daily heaped praised on CPA members for supporting a BLM demonstration in San Francisco.

3. Trump-shaped 9th Circuit hands White House major win on asylum policy - Fox News
The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals - long a liberal bastion that has been aggressively reshaped into a more moderate court by the Trump administration - handed the president a major win late Monday, lifting a nationwide injunction on his asylum policy.
Earlier in the day, Obama-appointed U.S. District Judge Jon Tigar in California had reinstated a nationwide halt on the Trump administration's plan to prevent most migrants from seeking asylum at the U.S.-Mexico border, if they first crossed through another country on the way.
But in an administrative order first obtained by Politico, the 9th Circuit rolled Tigar's ruling right back, saying that for now it should only apply to the confines of the 9th Circuit - which encompasses California, Arizona, Alaska, Hawaii, Montana, Nevada, Idaho, Guam, Oregon and Washington.
The San Francisco-based 9th Circuit now has seven Trump-appointed federal judges - more than any other federal appellate bench.

4. Andrew Giuliani considering run for NYC mayor in 2021 - New York Post
While the 76-year-old former occupant of Gracie Mansion won't be returning to his old job, his 34-year-old son Andrew is taking a hard look at running for mayor in 2021.
"I am certainly thinking about it. It's something that a bunch of people that I trust have approached me with," the younger Giuliani told The Post. "It's been terrible to see over the last few years how the city has spiraled. I am afraid if the right candidate doesn't win in 2021, four more years of de Blasio's policies will remind us of the 80s."
"Mayor de Blasio's administration has failed New York as he does not value the New York Police Department and he does not value what they have done for the city," Giuliani continued, singling out recent budget cuts and the disbanding of the NYPD's undercover anti-crime unit.

5. GOP votes to authorize subpoenas, depositions in Obama-era probe - The Hill
Republicans on the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee voted on Wednesday to greenlight subpoenas and depositions as part of an investigation into the FBI's Russia probe and the Obama administration.
The 8-6 vote along party lines authorizes Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), the chairman of the committee, to issue a combination of subpoenas and set up closed-door depositions with approximately 40 individuals.
The vote comes less than two months before the November elections, injecting fresh acrimony into the Wednesday committee meeting where Johnson accused Democrats of a "coordinated smear" against his probes. Sen. Gary Peters (Mich.), the top Democrat on the panel, accused Republicans of a "partisan fishing expedition."
The vote gives Johnson the power to set up depositions with dozens of officials he previously got authorization to subpoena in June.

6. CDC says U.S. should have enough coronavirus vaccine to return to 'regular life' by third quarter of 2021 - CNBC
The U.S. should have enough Covid-19 vaccine doses for Americans to return to "regular life" by the third quarter of next year, the head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Wednesday.
CDC Director Dr. Robert Redfield told a Senate panel he expects vaccinations to begin in November or December, but in limited quantities with those most in need getting the first doses, such as health-care workers. He said it will take about "six to nine months" to get the entire American public vaccinated.
"If you're asking me when is it going to be generally available to the American public so we can begin to take advantage of vaccine to get back to our regular life, I think we're probably looking at third ... late second quarter, third quarter 2021," he told the U.S. Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies.

7. Biden accidentally refers to Harris-Biden administration - Washington Examiner
2020 Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden mistakenly promoted running mate Kamala Harris, elevating her to the top of their ticket.
"A Harris-Biden administration is going to relaunch that effort and keep pushing it further to make it easier for military spouses and veterans to find meaningful careers, to ensure teachers know how to support military children in their classrooms," Biden stated during a veterans roundtable in Tampa, Florida.
The two-term vice president's flub follows a similar misstep by Harris on Saturday. "A Harris administration, together with Joe Biden as the president of the United States," the California senator told Arizona business owners on the weekend.

-Father God, let the American people see the truth about this potential administrations intentions. Let the American people see right through the lies and the manipulation this election season, and help us make the correct decision in November. Amen.
-" We will not be influenced when people try to trick us with lies so clever they sound like the truth." (Ephesians 4:14b)
8. Bill Barr Said Prosecutors Could Charge Rioters for Conspiring to Overthrow U.S. Government - Law and Crime
Attorney General Bill Barr said during a conference call with U.S. Attorneys last week that charging Americans with sedition was on the menu of criminal statutes available to federal prosecutors examining how to charge violent protesters, the Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday.
According to the Journal, which cited "people familiar" with the conference call, the attorney general "encouraged the prosecutors to seek a number of federal charges, including under a rarely used sedition law, even when state charges could apply."
The seditious conspiracy statute, 18 U.S. Code § 2384, is a means of punishing those who conspire to violently overthrow or who oppose by force the authority the U.S. government or who by force conspire to seize federal property.

-Father God, we celebrate this victory and we ask that the truth behind these riots continue to shine, and individuals committing these crimes are held accountable.
-"I said to myself, "God will bring into judgment both the righteous and the wicked, for there will be a time for every activity, a time to judge every deed."( Ecclesiastes 3:17)
9. Democrats scramble on COVID-19 relief amid division, Trump surprise - The Hill
House Democratic leaders scrambled Wednesday for a cohesive legislative and political strategy on emergency coronavirus aid. The Democrats are seeking a bill that can provide broad-based relief to struggling Americans, energize the party's progressive base ahead of November and appease the various factions of the caucus now feuding over the right path forward.
Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) huddled in Pelosi's office in the Capitol. Afterward, Pelosi spoke by phone with Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, who has led the stimulus negotiations for the administration, revealing that gears are moving even as the impasse persists.
Stirring the debate, President Trump stunned Washington Wednesday morning when he pressed Republicans on Capitol Hill to seek "much higher" levels of funding in the next emergency package - a message that Pelosi reiterated to Mnuchin during their phone call a few hours later.
Senate Republicans had initially offered a $1.1 trillion package in emergency aid, but subsequently voted on a proposal providing just $650 billion - including just $350 billion in new funding. Trump, joining the Democrats, said it wasn't enough.

Prophetic analysis of the Middle East peace accords
Israel, United Arab Emirates and Bahrain further solidified their political unity Tuesday by formalizing historic diplomatic agreements as brokered by the White House and hailed by President Trump as "the dawn of a new Middle East." The pacts aligned the nations and deepened their opposition to Iran's efforts of hegemony in the region. There are several prophetic implications to the agreements, some which may go counter to commonplace Christian Biblical teachings. First and foremost, Christ said during his Sermon on the Mount, "Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called the children of God." The news media and democrats are calling President Trump anything but a child of God.
These agreements, and there are more expected, are in stark contrast to the previous Administration. Trump is bringing Middle East nations together toward PEACE with Israel. Let us remember the immediate past occupant of the White House fomented Arab Spring, a radical rebellion of Middle East nations in alignment against Israel. Supporting the Muslim Brotherhood, a sworn enemy against Israel, resulted in destabilization of Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, and Yemen. Strife in Syria, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia was aided in advancing this Muslim Brotherhood plan. This destabilization created a hostile environment for Israel by legitimizing and energizing Islamic terror groups-Hamas, al Qaeda, Hezbollah and others.
Many will falsely claim that this is the peace deal that begins the seven-year tribulation period, biblically called Jacob's Troubles, leading to the end of days. It is not. Daniel 9:27 states, "And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate." This passage prophesies the peace agreement between the Beast (antichrist) and Israel, marking the beginning of the seven-years of Jacob's Troubles (the tribulation). In the middle, the covenant is broken, the temple sacrifices ended, and the abomination of desolation occurs.
Much to his opponents' dismay, Trump is not the antichrist. The temporary halt of West Bank (Judea, Samaria) settlement annexation plans could be consequential as the US pressures Israel to give up land for peace. However, God's timing-not man's-dictates the restoration of all of Israel. Having said that, these peace accords do have prophetic significance. They lay the groundwork for nations aligning with and against Israel. They are types and shadows of what is prophesied by the prophets of God throughout the Bible. They further entrench Iran, a major end time player, against Israel and may advance Turkey's position of strength over Iran. These are all pieces of the puzzle that point to the return of Messiah!
