Threats of War, Rogue Alliances, and Nuclear Weapons: Gog-Magog War on the Horizon?
|
|
Our world today is witnessing mounting threats on numerous fronts. The alignment of nations coming together and the threat of war escalating daily, especially in Israel, point toward a prophecy in the Bible spoken of in Ezekiel 38 and 39: the Gog-Magog war.
Turkey is one of the nations mentioned in Ezekiel 38 and 39. Four of the places mentioned there are in modern-day Turkey--Meshech, Tubal, Togarmah, and Gomer. Today, Turkey has been sidelined by many Western nations due to their inflammatory rhetoric about Israel and massive demonstrations in favor of Hamas during the Israel-Gaza war.
Turkey is a member of NATO and has desired to join the European Union. Knowing that that is unlikely to happen, they have increasingly moved eastward in their alliances.
Significantly, Turkey is now saying that it wants to become a member of "BRICS," an economic group whose first five members were Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa. BRICS was founded to rival the G7 nations, and many believe it could overtake them within the next 20 years. The Kremlin welcomes Turkey's reported desire to join BRICS with open arms.
If Turkey joins BRICS it would undermine many of the nations that are in NATO. This is another indication showing that Turkey, more and more, is moving away from its Western allies and towards Russia and Iran, which is exactly what we should expect if the Gog-Magog War is getting closer.
Turkey is a marginalized and alienated nation, and they're finding their place with Russia and Iran. (Prophecy News Watch) Read more here.

- Abba, I totally respect the Prophecy Newswatch reporting of all that is transpiring around the world, but it would seem to have left out the most important influencer in the nations, You. We decree and declare that nothing happens in this world that You haven't known about from before the foundations were laid. Lord God, we ask You to send Holy Spirit out to pour Your peace and calm into the hearts of all who are called by Your name. Give your intercessors prophecies and words of knowledge, that we will know how to pray against the satanic spirit of fear and stop the enemies sowing of anxiety and panic across the world. Remind all who pray that we are praying from a place of victory already having been won, not from a place of having to win it. We ask this in the name Jehovah Shalom, The Lord Our Peace.
- "And the peace of God, which transcends
all understanding, will guard your
hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."
(Philippians 4:7)

Far Left Groups Organize with Goal of Disrupting 2024 Presidential Debate
|
|
A new report shows that an alliance of radical activists has come together to protest in Atlanta during Thursday’s presidential debate between U.S. President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump.
“The forces behind this planned disruption of the presidential debate would like to have you believe that they were triggered by Israel’s ‘genocide,’” writes Ryan Mauro, an investigative journalist at the Capital Research Center. “But the truth, based on their own words and actions, is that they are volunteers for an international campaign of terrorism and sedition that wants to dismantle the U.S.”
He names the groups involved as Stop Cop City/Defend the Atlanta Forest; Community Movement Builders in Atlanta; the Atlanta Multifaith Coalition for Palestine; Party for Socialism and Liberation; Freedom Road Socialist Organization; Democratic Socialists of America; Jewish Voice for Peace; Housing Justice League; Georgia Youth Justice Coalition; American Friends Service Committee; and the Atlanta branch of the National Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression.
JNS asked Mauro to explain the importance of understanding these groups and their plans. “The ‘Stop Cop City/Defend the Atlanta Forest’ group and overall cause has a vividly demonstrated ability to recruit, train, coalesce and incite anarchist-type extremists,” he told JNS. “Dozens of their militants are being prosecuted in Georgia on charges related to domestic terrorism, and the group has a large and fanatical online presence. And, as Mauro noted, “the debate is happening right in its backyard.”
He said that the others in the coalition “are almost all pro-Hamas and Communist, or anarchist or anarcho-Communist.” (Israel365News) Read more here |

- Abba, this article is very much about what our government has welcomed into our nation with the intention of destruction from within. Father, You have been bringing down those who hate this and other nations through elections and exposing their lies and treasonis decisions. We ask You to defend this nation tonight, bring total confusion into the enemy camp everywhere these organizations are planning to disrupt the debate tonight. Dispatch Your warrior angels to intervene in their plans, put up blockages, keep plans from coming together, break off the linkages between the plans of the enemy and those involved in this disruption. Holy Spirit pour distrust into their ranks, bring a spirit of fear that will stir up emotions, turn them against one another, let infighting dissolve their focus, pour out a spirit of despair into their hearts. We ask this in the name El Gibhor, Mighty God, the God who will accomplish the destruction of His enemies and rule with a rod of iron.
- "For the Lord watches over the way
of the righteous, but the way
of the wicked leads to destruction." (Psalm 1:6)
(Editor's note: this report, and this prayer, was written BEFORE last night's debate took place. TODAY we REJOICE that this prayer has been answered, and that the plans of the evil one were foiled. AMEN.)

Media figures shocked at Biden's 'bad' debate performance: 'Total and complete disaster'
|
|
'Democrats I'm talking to nearly beside themselves watching this debate,' CNN's Kasie Hunt says
|
|
|
Members of the media expressed shock and horror at President Biden's debate performance right out of the gate Thursday.
"Look. This debate was a total and complete disaster for Biden. He looked old. His answers trailed off repeatedly. He was hard to understand. He would stop in mid sentence and move on to something else," former CNN commentator Chris Cilizza wrote. "I NEVER thought he would be this bad. Stunning. Truly.
"Biden’s hoarse voice and resting face overwhelming the actual back and forth, but early yet," Politico columnist Jonathan Martin reacted to the president's presentation.
"The Biden team hates stories about Biden's age. They are about to get a lot more," Axios reporter Alex Thompson warned.
"In first half-hour of debate, a raspy Biden delivers rambling answers while Trump counters with energy and falsehoods," Associated Press correspondent Seung Min Kim posted on X.
"'Biden’s age is a political problem' got me yelled at two weeks ago," New York Times reporter Astead Herdon wrote.
"I've watched a lot of Biden talks. I've never heard him sound this frail," Vox correspondent Zack Beauchamp reacted.
"The most incoherent and ignorant man to ever run for president is getting the better of the sitting president, who has been in politics for decades. This is bad. Bad," former MSNBC host Mehdi Hasan said.
"I'm listening on the radio, and the audible difference between Biden and Trump is really striking," former CNN host Brian Stelter wrote. (Fox News) Read more here.

- Father God, many of us are still in a state of shock today,
as hidden things have been revealed to us. We now know
the condition of the one who is serving as our President,
and we are deeply concerned for him and for our nation.
By adhering to the dictates of Your Scripture, we do not
rejoice at the possible downfall of Joe Biden from the Office
of the President, but we pray for Your will to be done in his
life. In this time of a national reset, we seek Your will O Lord.
Amen and amen.
- "Do not rejoice when your enemy falls,
And do not let your heart be glad when he stumbles;
Lest the Lord see it, and it displease Him,
And He turn away His wrath from him." (Proverbs 24:17,18)

1. IDF wraps up major northern drill amid Hezbollah threat - JNS
The Israel Defense Forces on Wednesday concluded a large-scale combat exercise in the country’s north.
The exercise, which IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi attended on Wednesday, included “extreme scenarios, combat in complex and mountainous terrain, activating fire, and urban warfare” according to the military.
The exercise came only days after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told local media that the IDF would redeploy “some forces” from the Gaza Strip to the north amid Hezbollah’s ongoing attacks from Lebanon. (Read more)

2. Israel seeking to create 5 km. 'dead zone' in southern Lebanon - report - Jerusalem Post
An investigation by the Financial Timeshas claimed that the IDF's operations in southern Lebanon are part of a plan to create a 5 km. "dead zone" on the border.
The FT combined data from satellites along with research from US universities using “synthetic aperture radar” satellites to detect changes in buildings without being affected by cloud cover.
Following the beginning of the war in October, Hezbollah began firing on Israel, with Israel responding in kind.
The report also stated that that over 95,000 Lebanese have been displaced, as well as 60,000 Israelis. (Read more)

3. Hamas kills Israeli military dog after abduction - Israel Hayom
Hamas terrorists have killed an Israeli military dog after abducting it along with combat equipment. The incident came to light following the release of misleading footage by Qatar's Al-Jazeera, which initially portrayed the dog attacking an elderly Palestinian woman. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has since clarified the situation, revealing the tragic fate of the canine and condemning Hamas' actions.
Earlier this week, Al-Jazeera broadcast video footage showing a dog attacking an elderly Palestinian woman. However, it has now been revealed that the dog in question was actually a K-9 from the IDF's canine unit "Oketz", that had been kidnapped by Hamas along with its combat gear.
An IDF spokesperson stated, "The dog shown in the video is an Oketz unit dog that was abducted by the Hamas terrorist organization along with the combat equipment on its back. The incident occurred after contact with the dog was lost. The dog was never ordered to harm uninvolved civilians." (Read more)

4. Britain challenges ICC’s jurisdiction over Israel, delaying arrest warrant decision - Times of Israel
The International Court of Justice has allowed the United Kingdom to file an amicus brief challenging the court’s jurisdiction over Israeli nationals in the investigation by The Hague tribunal into alleged Israeli war crimes and crimes against humanity.
The court’s Pre Trial Chamber I decided on Thursday to give the UK until July 12 to submit its brief, meaning that the decision-making process on whether or not to issue arrest warrants against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant will be suspended until a decision can be made on the UK’s challenge.
According to court documents published on Thursday, the UK made its request on June 10, where it cited a decision by the same chamber from 2021 when it ruled that, despite the State of Palestine not being a sovereign state the ICC did have jurisdiction over any alleged violations of the Rome Statute, the ICC’s foundational charter, in the West Bank, East Jerusalem, and Gaza.

5. Canada sanctions Israeli extremists, settler groups over violence against Palestinians - Times of Israel
Canada announced Thursday sanctions against seven Israelis and five organizations for “their violent and destabilizing actions against Palestinian civilians and their property in the West Bank.”
The organizations are the Amana association, which lobbies for, develops and builds West Bank settlements and outposts; Lehava, which opposes intermarriage and the assimilation of Jews with Arabs and tries to stifle public activities by non-Jews in Israel; The Hilltop Youth, an assortment of usually young Israelis who build illegal outposts throughout the West Bank; Moshe’s Farm, also known as Tirza Valley outpost, which was established in January 2021; and Zvi’s Farm, near the Halamish settlement.
Lehava founder Bentzi Gopstein and settler activist Daniella Weiss were also listed, as were Shalom Zicherman, Meir Mordechai Ettinger, Ely Federman, Elisha Yered, and Einan Ben-Nir Amram Tanjil. (Read more)

1. Supreme Court Temporarily Allows Emergency Abortions in Idaho – The Epoch Times
The Supreme Court on June 27 decided to dismiss Idaho’s appeal against a lower court ruling that granted an exception to its strict abortion law for abortions deemed to be medical emergencies.
The new decision allows emergency abortions to proceed in Idaho while a challenge to the state’s abortion law moves through the lower courts.
President Joe Biden promptly praised the ruling. “Today’s Supreme Court order ensures that women in Idaho can access the emergency medical care they need while this case returns to the lower courts. No woman should be denied care, made to wait until she’s near death, or forced to flee her home state just to receive the health care she needs,” he said in a written statement.
“This should never happen in America. Yet, this is exactly what is happening in states across the country since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade.” (Read more)
|
|
- Father God, we have a dilemma between state and federal courts in Idaho. State law restricts abortion to a life saving procedure only for the mother. Federal law wants to allow abortion when required to stabilize a patients' condition even if it is not life threatening. Lord we pray your will be done in accordance with our state and federal laws. We believe in the sanctity of life. Every child is a wonderful gift from you. Please guide our doctors and lawmakers to be in line with the word of God. In Jesus' mighty name. Amen and Amen.
- "So it is not the will of my Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish." (Matthew 18:14)

2. Supreme Court Limits SEC’s Enforcement Powers – The Epoch Times
The 6–3 decision ruled that the SEC cannot use its in-house administrative tribunals to enforce civil penalties.
The Supreme Court ruled against the Securities and Exchange Commission’s use of in-house administrative courts, holding that defendants who face civil penalties must receive a jury trial under the Seventh Amendment of the Constitution.
“A defendant facing a fraud suit has the right to be tried by a jury of his peers before a neutral adjudicator,” the majority opinion, authored by Chief Justice John Roberts, read. He added that investment adviser George Jarkesy, who brought the suit, and his firm “are entitled to a jury trial in an Article III court.”
The case, SEC v. Jarkesy, was one of several challenging the administrative state’s power in the 2023–2024 term. The agency penalized Mr. Jarkesy for violating securities fraud law. He challenged the courts for their lack of juries and for allegedly not receiving proper authorization from Congress. (Read more)
|
|
|
- Dear Lord, thank you that Mr. Jarkesy stood up for the 7th Amendment of our Constitution which guarantees a right to trial by an independent judge and a jury of our peers. We thank you that we live in a country that protects our rights to justice. We are blessed in this country. Thank you for the USA and our Constitution. In Jesus' mighty name. Amen and Amen.
- "When justice is done, it is a joy to the righteous but terror to evil doers." (Proverbs 21:15)

3. Supreme Court Justices Fail to Uphold Free Speech in Biden Censorship Collusion Case – Lifesite news
The Supreme Court rejected the standing of the State of Missouri and five individuals in the censorship and free speech case surrounding social media. The court came down with a 6-3 decision, Justice Amy Coney Barrett writing the majority opinion
. Justices Alito, Gorsuch, and Thomas dissented in the minority.
The background of the case was very familiar to this audience, as the Biden administration was previously blocked by lower courts from telling social media platforms to remove content against their interests. Today, the Supreme Court rejected the standing of the plaintiffs, essentially giving a green light to the U.S. government to begin controlling social media platforms again.
If you read the opinion, I would strongly urge readers to focus beginning on page 11 of the Justice Barrett opinion. It is obvious in the three or four pages that follow, the court was looking for an exit from the free speech issue. Denying the case on “standing” grounds became their justification for the cop-out. (Read more)

- Yahweh, please be with our courts and lawmakers as we navigate through the growth of social media. Social Media companies have been controlling their own content. It is dangerous to ban future speech based on past speech. We would ask You to give us wisdom and clarity about how to go forward on this pressing issue. All Americans seek knowledge and we desire to hear the truth.We praise You for who You are and for Your wisdom and love. In Jesus' mighty name. Amen and Amen.

4. Instagram “Accidentally Changed” All Users Settings to Limit Political Content Ahead of Thursday’s Debate – The Gateway Pundit
The change applies to all users, even if you have previously turned the settings off.
CNN will be hosting the first presidential debate this Thursday, June 27, in Atlanta, Georgia. Jake Tapper and Dana Bash will moderate.
The Hill reports: Several Instagram users spoke out after noticing their settings had been changed to limit political content, an option created by parent company Meta in February, ahead of Thursday’s first 2024 debate between President Biden and former President Trump.
In a response to a post from Democratic strategist Keith Edwards on Threads, another Meta app, Meta spokesperson Andy Stone said the resetting of users’ limits on political content was “an error and should not have happened,” and the company is working to get it fixed. (Read more)

- Setting limits on political content for all Instagram users? Father, we have seen this before and know that the deep and/or deeper state is trying to control the narrative again, this time hoping to manipulate the November ’24 election results. Thank You, God, that while social media forums are powerful, they are not the only game in town. Help the GOP to strategize their agenda and creatively get “the message” to the voters via many sources that are not trying to censor our free speech. We also ask for divine appointments for the truth to be proclaimed--person to person and neighbor to neighbor. May citizen voters use great discernment and, above all, be seekers of the truth. Father God, we pray for our freedom of speech to be maintained and bequeathed to generation after generation in the U.S.
In the meantime, we pray that social media would stop or be stopped for denying our rights, and may the courts determine that the White House may not coerce corporations and organizations in such a way that the White House controls the message. May the three branches of our government truly carry out their own distinctive purposes, as described by our Constitution, with the utmost integrity.
- "It was for freedom that Christ set us free; therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery." (Galatians 5:1)

5. 11 Signs that the Economy is in Far Worse Shape Than Most People Think – The Economic Collapse Blog
Unless you are living under a bridge or you are eagerly drinking the kool-aid that the mainstream media is dishing out, you probably understand that the economy has been struggling. Survey after survey has found that the American people are deeply dissatisfied with how the economy has been performing, and as a result it has become the number one issue this election season. But even though a large portion of the population is not happy about how things have been going, the truth is that the situation is far more dire than most people realize. Just this week we have received quite a bit of very troubling news, and the outlook for the months ahead is very bleak. The following are 11 signs that the U.S. economy is in far worse shape than most people think… (Read more)

- Lord God, it seems our economy is continuing in a downward spiral. Our hearts break for those businesses that are now shuttered and for the workers and their families who have lost their jobs. Father, You know how most of us are struggling with the cost of food, gas, rent and mortgages, all symptoms of a much larger issue—how our nation is being governed by those with radical, leftist agendas. And it feels like the sky is falling. Lord, we pray for Your divine intervention in our government and ask that You forgive us, as we return to You and Your holy and righteous, life-giving ways. Until that time, we ask for Your provision for those who are hanging by a thread, and wisdom and guidance for Your people as we navigate these treacherous days. You are well able to do much more than we can
possibly ask, think or imagine, and we look to You in faith.
- "Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord." (Psalm 33:12 a)

It May Not Be Such A Sure Thing
The Daily Jot, Bill Wilson, June 27, 2024
Many Americans are counting on Donald Trump to save the country from the Marxist grip on the Democratic Party that is causing record inflation, higher crime, massive illegal immigration, and weakened national security, among other horrors. It may seem obvious that the presumptive Democrat nominee, the sitting president, is feeble and unable to execute his job, and that the administrative deep state is running the country. People are counting on a Trump victory in November because he is obviously the better choice to pull the country out of the miry clay, perhaps a lethal abyss, that the Marxists and Democratic Party faithful have placed it. But first, Trump has to win the election. And it may not be such a sure thing.
There is in-fighting between the Republican Party establishment and the Make America Great Again populous Republican movement. The signs of it are found in moderate Republicans, Republicans in Name Only (RINOs), and never-Trumpers bubbling up beneath the veneer of Trump’s campaign. The Romneys and Ryans of the world are getting blasted by Trump here and there. As Breitbart reports, establishment Republican billionaires are withholding financial support from Trump, indicating a very stubborn RINO opposition. These people gave millions to Nikki Haley’s campaign, even when she was losing every GOP primary except Vermont and Washington, DC. She couldn’t even win her own state of South Carolina. Read More

In a major blow to US Federal Administrative State power, the US Supreme Court overturned the Chevron Deference precedent by a 6 to 3 vote. Chevron deference is an administrative law principle that compels federal courts to defer to a federal agency’s interpretation of an ambiguous or unclear statute that Congress delegated to the agency to administer. As a consequence, executive branch administrative agencies have been able to step into the policy and power vacuums created when the legislative branch fails to define legislative intent clearly, and to functionally define law and policy as each agency sees fit.
Today’s majority opinion states that “Chevron, decided in 1984 by a bare quorum of six Justices, triggered a marked departure from the traditional judicial approach of independently examining each statute to determine its meaning. “
The Chevron Deference principle was established in the 1984 U.S. Supreme Court case Chevron U.S.A., Inc. v. Natural Resources Defense Council, Inc. Conservatives have long argued that this precedent represents judicial activism at its worst and violates fundamental aspects of the constitutionally defined separation of powers by empowering executive branch administrative agencies to functionally make law. Liberals have argued that It allows agencies to implement laws and regulations more flexibly, giving them the authority to interpret ambiguous statutes. This way of thinking believes such delegation of authority to the bureaucracy can lead to more efficient and effective regulation, as agencies are better equipped to address complex issues than the legislature is.
Since the 1984 case, the resulting explosive growth of administrative agencies and their budgets, coupled with Chevron-associated legal barriers to administrative accountability, has given rise to a massive, arrogant, parasitic administrative state that has come to believe that its actions and motivations are above reproach or questioning. This doctrine has underpinned the arrogance of Dr. Anthony Fauci and colleagues at NIH so recently on display in congressional hearings for all who wish to see it. This case has enabled the administrative state to grow so large that many agencies have developed their own judiciary. Prosecutors and judges are unique to each agency, with the power to indict and force you to go to trial all within the structure of the agency - basically, each agency creates its own law and then acts as judge, prosecutor, and jury. No separation of powers, just one hand washing the other, all unified collusion. A self-contained, unconstitutional fourth branch of government with each agency operating under the protective legal umbrella of being defined as the ultimate authority in all matters involving legislative - or scientific and technical-interpretations. (Robert Malone) Read more here.

- Father God, we praise You that this Court has now moved to hem in the overreach of our federal agencies, who have used the Chevron Deference for their own selfish purposes. Thank You, Lord! Amen and amen!

Moon, 3 planets to align in weekend sky
|
|
|
A planetary parade will greet early risers in the night sky this weekend, an easy-to-see alignment that will be visible without a telescope.
The last weekend of June will feature the best astronomy event of the month as three planets fall in line with the crescent moon.
Jupiter, Mars and Saturn will appear in a row about an hour before daybreak Saturday morning in the eastern sky. No telescope is needed to see the planets, although stargazers will have to wake up early to see the event, as late June has some of the earliest sunrises of the entire year.
The crescent moon will also align with the planetary trio, glowing between Mars and Saturn.
An encore is in the offing for Sunday morning, giving folks another opportunity to see the celestial alignment if cloudy weather prevails Saturday.
The International Space Station will also make bright passes over the United States before sunrise on Saturday and Sunday, so those waking up to see the planets and moon may want to check to see when the station will be visible from their area.

‘Only God’:
Couple Finds Jesus After Previously Getting Married
as Gay, Transgender
|
|
“Only God can do that.” Those are the words of Lex Renick, a female who formerly identified as a transgender male before she and her husband — who used to identify as homosexual — came to faith in Jesus. Nic and Lex Renick got married May 30, 2020, when both of them were living out their LGBT lifestyles. They have since turned away from their past decisions, with Lex restoring her female identify and returning to the name she was given at birth and Nic abandoning his homosexual identity. The pair married one another as husband and husband but, since their respective salvation experiences, now identify as a heterosexual couple — husband and wife. They recently spoke with The Daily Wire’s Michael Knowles about their salvation experiences in a lengthy interview. Knowles, a Catholic, described the couple’s testimony as “one of the wildest stories I’ve ever heard.”
In addition to restoring their live spiritually, Lex and Nic told Knowles they are seeing physical restoration. The two now share a healthy baby and, early on in their relationship, Lex underwent biopsies and was told she had cancerous cells in her body. But a doctor from Planned Parenthood recently told her, “This doesn’t make physical possible sense, but you no longer have any cancerous cells in your body. I think it just goes to show that anyone can transform or turn into anything that they want,” said Nic of their experience together. “But nobody talks about transforming back to the original design that you’re supposed to be.” He continued, “The world can tell you so much about who you’re ‘supposed to be’ based off of your interests or your personality type, and try to fit you into all of these crazy, outlandish boxes that might … make you feel included for a time." For her part, Lex opened up about the fact she believed the “lie” of the LGBT community. (Faithwire) Read More and Watch Interview Here
- Father, we praise You for miraculous healing within this re-aligned marriage and declare that you will continue to 'restore the years that the locust have eaten'! Use the powerful testimony of this couple, who renewed their wedding vows as "husband" and "wife", revealing Christ's redeeming love through unveiling of minds and hearts! Bless this marriage as they witness that change IS possible among those living a LGBTQ lifestyle. May their story spread among the LGBTQ community bringing hearts of repentance, surrender and healing transformation through genuine relationship with Jesus Christ! Amen and Amen.
- "I will restore to you the years that the swarming locusts have eaten, the hopper, the destroyer, and the cutter, my great army, which I sent among you.
