Hundreds of Israeli Jews Pray for Trump at Holy Site
|
|
Hundreds of Israeli Jews prayed for Former President Donald Trump ahead of the election this week. Done at the ancient site of Shiloh, where the Ark of the Covenant and the Tabernacle resided for hundreds of years, hundreds of worshippers prayed for the success of Trump. “In recent years, the Binyamin Council has maintained close connections with senior U.S. officials, including leaders in the Republican Party and associates of Trump, who expressed great appreciation for the prayer initiative. Clips of the prayer from Ancient Shiloh will be broadcast in the coming days at various gatherings in the United States,” VINews reported.
“These elections are crucial for the people of Israel and for the entire world. We pray that the American people succeed in the elections and that the elected leader will be one who recognizes values of justice and morality, connected to the values of the Bible. We pray that whoever is chosen will acknowledge the place of the people of Israel in the Land of Israel, as this is the path to world peace and overcoming the global evil that threatens the free world,” Israel’s Arutz Sheva said.

- Abba, we are humbled by the beautiful prayers from Israeli Jews and around the world for our nation and for President Trump. Bless the Land of Israel and her people and lead America once again into righteousness and re-alignment to Your holy ways. May Your miraculous Hand be seen throughout the results of the Election and may the Church ARISE to occupy as Jehovah Nissi covers our nation! By the blood and power of Yeshua- Amen and Amen.
- "Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them out of their distresses. And he lead them forth by the right way, that they might go to a city of habitation." (Psalms 107: 6-7)

Trump vows to lead ‘golden age of America’ in victory speech: 'Fix everything'
|

Trump hailed his comeback victory as 'the greatest political movement of all time'
President-elect Trump addressed his supporters in the nation early Wednesday morning after earning more than 270 electoral votes, vowing he will lead the "golden age of America" after launching the "greatest political movement of all time."
"This was, I believe, the greatest political movement of all time. There's never been anything like this in this country, and maybe beyond. And now it's going to reach a new level of importance because we're going to help our country heal," Trump said just before 2:30 a.m. on Wednesday.
"We're going to help our country heal. We have a country that needs help, and it needs help very badly. We're going to fix our borders. We're going to fix everything about our country, and we've made history for a reason tonight. And the reason is going to be just that. We overcame obstacles that nobody thought possible," he added to cheers from the crowd.
Trump took the stage after Fox News projected he would win the key battleground state of Pennsylvania, as well as Wisconsin, Georgia and North Carolina. He notched more than 270 electoral votes around 1:45 a.m., officially defeating Harris. (Fox News) Read more here.

Trump says life was spared to 'restore America to greatness' during victory speech
|
|
President-elect Trump said "God spared [his] life for a reason" during his victory speech at Trump Headquarters early Wednesday morning.
Trump, who has been the target of two assassination attempts since July, shared his appreciation for a second presidency during his 25-minute speech from West Palm Beach, Florida.
"Many people have told me that God spared my life for a reason, and that reason was to save our country and to restore America to greatness," Trump said. "And now we are going to fulfill that mission together."
He continued: "The task before us will not be easy, but I will bring every ounce of energy, spirit, and fighting that I have in my soul to the job that you've entrusted to me." (Fox News) Read more.

- Father, we thank You that You have put a strong and honest spirit within Donald John Trump, and that he is willing to be led by You, Almighty God, in standing for righteousness and justice in this nation. We pray for Your continued covering and protection over his life and all those around him; his loved ones and leadership team. Keep them under the shadow of Your wings, in Jesus name.
- "'Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him; I will set him on high, because he has known My name. He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him and honor him. With long life I will satisfy him, And show him My salvation.'" (Psalm 91:14-16)

Your historic return to the White House offers a new beginning for America and a powerful recommitment to the great alliance between Israel and America. This is a huge victory! In true friendship, yours, Benjamin and Sara Netanyahu."
Fox News projected Trump as the winner of the presidential election in the early hours of Wednesday morning.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban wrote, "The biggest comeback in US political history! Congratulations to President @realDonaldTrump on his enormous win. A much needed victory for the World!"

Harris concedes election but not 'the fight that fueled this campaign'
|
|
|
Vice President Kamala Harris said her heart is "full of resolve" after losing the presidential election to former President Donald Trump.
"My heart is full today -- full of gratitude for the trust you have placed in me, full of love for our country, and full of resolve," Harris said Wednesday at her alma mater, Howard University, in Washington, D.C.
"The outcome of this election is not what we wanted, not what we fought for, not what we voted for. But ... the light of America's promise will always burn bright as long as we never give up," Harris said.
Harris said she told Trump on the phone Wednesday that she'll help with a peaceful transfer of power, which got a cheer from the crowd at Howard. "We must accept the results of this election," she said.
Harris stressed, "While I concede this election, I do not concede the fight that fueled this campaign."
"The fight for freedom, for opportunity, for fairness and the dignity of all people -- a fight for the ideals at the heart of our nation -- the ideals that reflect America at our best," she said.

- Father, we pray for Kamala Harris to know who You are. This victory came about because of You. You heard and answered the prayers of Your people flooding the Kingdom of Heaven on behalf of this great nation and she did not stand a chance. We pray for an easy transition, we bind every plan for violence in the streets and we release the hope of heaven to shine in the midst of the transition from Kamala Harris to President Trump, in Jesus name.
- "'Therefore prepare yourself and arise, And speak to them all that I command you. Do not be dismayed before their faces, Lest I dismay you before them. . . . They will fight against you, But they shall not prevail against you. For I am with you,' says the Lord, 'to deliver you.'" (Jeremiah 1:17, 19)

1. Netanyahu fires Gallant amid US elections as Israel braces for Iran attack - Jerusalem Post
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu fired Defense Minister Yoav Gallant Tuesday night, citing a “crisis of trust” that “gradually deepened,” replacing him with Foreign Minister Israel Katz.
The move comes as Israel is braced for a direct Iranian attack and after the IDF under Gallant’s command executed a successful strike on the Islamic Republic that targeted its missile production facilities.
“In the midst of a war, more than ever, full trust is required between the prime minister and the minister of defense,” Netanyahu stated, as he laid out his rationale for Gallant’s removal while the country was over a year into a war with Iran and its proxies; chiefly Hamas and Hezbollah.

2. Netanyahu fires Gallant, names Israel Katz as defense minister - JNS
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced on Tuesday that he fired Yoav Gallant as defense minister and named Israel Katz, the Israeli foreign minister, as the new head of the Defense Ministry.
The announcement came hours before polls started closing in the United States on Election Day—one of the most dominant international news stories during a U.S. presidential election. Netanyahu stated that Gideon Sa’ar, minister without portfolio, would replace Katz as Jerusalem’s top diplomat.
“In the midst of war, more than ever, complete trust is required between the prime minister and the defense minister,” Netanyahu stated. “Unfortunately, even though such trust was present during the first months of the military campaign, and we had a very productive cooperation, during the past several months this trust between myself and the defense minister has begun to crack.” (Read more)

After Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu fired Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, Walla reports that he may also fire IDF Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi and the head of Shin Bet (Israel’s security agency) Ronen Bar.
Although Netanyahu has the sole authority to replace the head of Shin Bet, only the Defense Minister can dismiss or appoint a new IDF Chief of Staff.
The incoming Defense Minister, Israel Katz, is expected to carry out Netanyahu’s plans.
With Katz assuming a new role as the Defense Minister, Minister-without-Portfolio Gideon Sa’ar will replace Katz as Foreign Minister. (Read more)

4. Blinken: Hamas rejects Egyptian ceasefire proposal - JNS
The Hamas terrorist group in Gaza has rejected an Egyptian proposal for a short-term ceasefire in exchange for the release of four Israeli hostages, according to U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken.
Speaking with Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty on Monday, Blinken said, “Hamas has once again refused to release even a limited number of hostages to secure a ceasefire and relief for the people of Gaza,” according to a State Department readout of the call.
Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi had put forward a 12-day proposal at the end of October that would have started with a 48-hour ceasefire followed by Hamas releasing four captives over the next 10 days, two Arab diplomats told The Times of Israel on Monday. (Read more)

5. IDF launches new bout of raids on Hezbollah in Syrian border town - JNS
Israeli Air Force fighter jets launched renewed air raids on Hezbollah targets in the Syrian town of Al-Qusayr, near the border with Lebanon, on Tuesday, attacking munitions depots used by the terrorist group.
“Hezbollah’s Munitions Unit is responsible for storing weapons inside Lebanon and has recently expanded its activities into the area of Al-Qusayr, near the Syria-Lebanon border,” the military confirmed on X.
“This is another example of Hezbollah creating infrastructure for the transfer of weapons from Syria to Lebanon through border crossings,” added the IDF. “Hezbollah, with help from the Syrian regime, endangers the safety of civilians by establishing its infrastructure in civilian areas.” (Read more)

1. COVID-19 ‘Vaccines’ Estimated to Have Killed More People Than 121 Hiroshima Nuclear Bombings - Vigilant News
Since the global roll-out of the COVID-19 injections in late 2020, substantial data has surfaced linking them to a catastrophic number of deaths.
Regardless of methodology used, far too many suspected deaths have occurred due to the experimental COVID-19 injections. For reference, approximately 140,000 people were killed from the Atomic Bombing of Hiroshima in 1945. Therefore, the COVID-19 injection campaign may have killed the equivalent of at least 121 Hiroshima nuclear attacks.
COVID-19 ‘vaccine’ death acknowledgment by federal agencies may mirror the same path as finally declaring smoking harmful in 1964 after years of claiming cigarettes to be healthy. (Read more)

|

- Mighty God, we pray for this cruel agenda of death from these injections to be stopped, in Jesus name. We thank You that Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. has been tracking this issue from the beginning and will be in a position to reveal actual scientific research from the U.S. and worldwide, verifying and validating what is actually true. May there be the power to stop these poisons and restitution for those who have been injured and killed, in Jesus name.
"Before Him went pestilence, And fever followed at His feet. He stood and measured the earth; He looked and startled the nations. And the everlasting mountains were scattered, The perpetual hills bowed. His ways are everlasting." (Habakkuk 3:5-6)

3. Boxes of ballots seen arriving in battleground state, questions being asked - DML News
In a move almost identical to 2020, results on the presidential race are now dragging out in four key battleground states. Former President Donald Trump has just won Georgia, and is leading in the race in Arizona, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
But the races are not being called in those four battleground states. Reportedly, there are still mail-in ballots to be counted. Around 11:00 pm Tuesday night, RAWSALERTS shared a video and wrote, “CNN is now reporting that Kamala Harris’s headquarters has fallen into complete silence, with crowds of supporters visibly tense with some seen pacing while others are beginning to lose hope as updates come in.”
From Project Veritas: “EYES ON DETROIT: It’s 11pm. Why are boxes of ballots still arriving to Detroit’s Bureau of Elections via cars with California plates? We’re here. We’re watching.” And from Pennsylvania podcaster Alec Lace tweeted. “BREAKING: CNN is Reporting that a Huge Batch of 10s of Thousands of Mail-In Ballots expected to drop in Philadelphia at 11:55 pm ET.” (Read more)

- Father, it seems that these efforts to thwart the righteous election have not prevailed and we praise You and give thanks for those who are doing the yeoman's job of staying on top of these matters nationwide. We know there is still opportunity for shifting the votes now and for the next few days, but we ask You to send angels to interrupt and interfere with every effort, in Jesus name.

4. FBI thwarts planned explosive attack at a Tennessee energy facility: DOJ - Just The News
The FBI foiled a possible drone attack on an energy facility in Tennessee on Monday, the Justice Department announced, after a man allegedly planned to fly the drones packed with explosives into the plant, which would destroy critical infrastructure. The Justice Department said the suspect, 24-year-old Skyler Philippi, was arrested and charged with attempted use of a weapon of mass destruction and attempted destruction of an energy facility.
"As charged, Skyler Philippi believed he was moments away from launching an attack on a Nashville energy facility to further his violent white supremacist ideology – but the FBI had already compromised his plot," Attorney General Merrick Garland said in a statement. "This case serves as yet another warning to those seeking to sow violence and chaos in the name of hatred by attacking our country’s critical infrastructure: the Justice Department will find you, we will disrupt your plot, and we will hold you accountable."
He was caught with a drone powered up, and the explosive device armed and located next to the drone. (Read more)

- Thank You Mighty God for protecting this nation from an evil scheme of destruction, in Jesus name. We pray that this guy is imprisoned for a very long time and that he has the opportunity to repent and find Jesus as his Lord and Savior. We pray Father, that You will continue to protect our nation as the saints continue to pray over our infrastructure, waterways and airways, in Jesus name.

5. U.S. extends additional national emergencies related to Iran, Sudan - Just The News
President Joe Biden has extended additional national emergencies due to national security concerns related to Iran and Sudan. This is after previously having done so earlier in his term as well as for other countries. The U.S. has been in a perpetual state of national emergency related to Iran since Nov. 14, 1979, and with Sudan since April 2006.
Biden extended the national emergency executive orders last week after extending others issued by previous administrations related to terrorism, which have been in effect since Sept. 23, 2001; related to Syria and ISIS since Sept. 9, 2019; related to Colombian-based narcotics trafficking since Oct. 21, 1995; related to the Congo since Oct. 27, 2006; related to Afghanistan since Feb. 11, 2022, among others, The Center Square reported.
The national emergencies were declared under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), which was enacted in 1977 and gives the president sweeping powers. Biden extended an executive order related to the national emergency with Iran due to “the unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States constituted by the situation in Iran.” (Read more)

- Father, we pray for these two nations to be brought under Your authority. Part of Sudan is Christian and suffers at the hands of the Islamists and Iran is experiencing a huge number of people coming to salvation and following You, Jesus. We ask You for a great number of missionaries to be anointed to spread the Good News and disciple the followers, so that You are glorified and the current Islamic regimes have the opportunity to bow their knees before a Holy and Living God, in Jesus name.
- "'Both riches and honor come from You, And You reign over all. In Your hand is power and might; In Your hand it is to make great And to give strength to all. 'Now therefore, our God, We thank You And praise Your glorious name.'" (1 Chronicles 29:12-13)

6. Emotional, inspiring moment behind the scenes after Trump’s victory - DML News
One of the most moving, inspiring, emotional and poignant moments of President-Elect Donald Trump’s entire journey back to the White House happened away from the spotlights and the media in the wee hours of the morning on Wednesday. Trump’s supporters have been mocked, vilified, slandered, and attacked by Democrats. They’ve been labeled as deplorables, irredeemables, domestic terrorists, and garbage.
Still, they have stood firm in their support for Trump, and the constant attacks and false labels have only inspired them to fight harder for the leader they want back in the Oval Office. Hundreds were gathered in Palm Beach, Florida for Trump’s watch party Tuesday night, which turned into a historic victory party.
After Trump delivered his victory speech around 2:00 am Wednesday morning, behind the scenes a large group of attendees gathered in a circle in a room, and they sang in perfect unison the beloved hymn, “How Great Thou Art.”
Fox News co-host Lisa Boothe shared a short video of the incredible moment, posting it on X. (Read more)

- Glory to God, what a joy to see the God of our hearts be exalted over the leadership of our nation. We welcome You to have the first place in our government, in our states and in our cities, as well as in our homes. Be glorified O God; we thank You for this victory and we pray for peace and righteousness to be released upon our nation, in Jesus name.
- "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." (Philippians 4:6-7)

A New Day
The Daily Jot, Bill Wilson, November 6, 2024
A lot of emotions are running through my mind as I sip on coffee from a cup Chris and I bought in Valley Forge with a sculpture of George Washington facing me. It is a reminder of my ancestors who overcame so much during the Revolutionary War to carve this great nation into being. It was the Lord that was with them then. It is the Lord that is with us today as Donald Trump overcame the forces of tyranny to win back the presidency. This is a historic moment and one that I believe offers America a reprieve from the darkness of those demons that have dragged this country down into the miry pit. And while the insane left stands in shock, this change is an opportunity for all to reset toward a better world.
All the lawfare, fear-mongering, assassination attempts, lying, and politicking came to no avail as the American people overwhelmed the ballot box for Trump. When Romans 13:1 is quoted today: “For there is not power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God,” let everyone and all be settled that this was a hand of God election. People voted. God delivered. In this present generation, there never has been such an election. Satan used a political party to throw every legal, political, and physical obstacle at Trump. He (and Americans) survived assassination attempts, the corrupt legal system, personal attacks, a corrupt media, election interference and more for over a decade. For if they can do it to Trump, they can do it to the rest of us. Read More

2024 Election: GOP Takes Senate Control
|
|
|
|
Republicans regained control of the U.S. Senate on Tuesday, flipping seats controlled by a Democrat-turned-Independent in West Virginia and Democrats in Ohio and Montana. “The balance of power in the Senate means a great deal. A lot of people say that’s the safety net for our nation,” said Senator Katie Britt (R-Ala.) on Family Research Council Action’s special Pray Vote Stand Decision Night broadcast. “It’s what our forefathers did to make sure that the Senate was not a supercharged House. … It’s kind of the steadying of the ship, so to speak.”
The Senate map always favored Republicans in this cycle. Democrats had to defend 23 seats, compared to only 11 seats on the Republican side. Before the election, Democrats (and four Independents who caucused with them) only held a 51-49 Senate majority. So, a net gain of one seat for Republicans would result in a tie, and a net gain of two seats would give control of the upper chamber to Republicans.
Not only were Democrats defending more seats, they were also defending many Senate seats in neutral or unfavorable terrain. According to the final, pre-election toss-up map from RealClearPolitics, Democrats were defending six out of seven Senate races rated as “toss-up.” Those states included Arizona, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin — five of the top seven toss-up states in the presidential race — as well as Ohio (Democrat-held seat) and Texas (held by Republican Ted Cruz). Democrats were also defending Senate seats in Montana and West Virginia, which both heavily favor Republicans at the presidential level.
As of midnight on Tuesday, races were unofficially called for Republican senate candidates in two of the three Republican-leaning states with Democratic senators up for election in Ohio and West Virginia. (The Stand) Read more
- We praise You Jesus that we have regained control of the the Senate and we pray to You Father, that the House will also be in the hands of the conservative majority in our nation. We pray for a new Senate majority leader and give thanks that Mitch McConnell has finally stepped aside. May the new leader be Your child and follow Your leading clearly, so that righteousness will be advanced, in Jesus name.
- "For all people walk each in the name of his god, But we will walk in the name of the Lord our God Forever and ever." (Micah 4:5)

Hurricane Rafael tracker: Storm strengthens into Category 2 hurricane as it approaches Cuba
|
|
|
|
Hurricane Rafael has strengthened into a Category 3 storm as it approaches the coast of western Cuba, according to the National Hurricane Center.
Rafael was located about 85 miles south of Havana, Cuba, on Wednesday afternoon, the NHC said. The storm is moving toward the northwest, and a "general northwestward motion" is anticipated over the next day or two, followed by a west-northwestward turn in the Gulf of Mexico.
"On the forecast track, Rafael is expected to make landfall in western Cuba this afternoon," the NHC said in its 1 p.m. ET advisory Wednesday. "Rafael is forecast to move into the southeastern Gulf of Mexico tonight."
Rafael currently has maximum sustained winds near 115 mph with higher gusts, hurricane forecasters said, and some additional strengthening is likely before the storm makes landfall in Cuba this afternoon. The hurricane is forecast to weaken over Cuba but is expected to emerge into the southeastern Gulf of Mexico as a hurricane.
Rafael swiped west of Jamaica on Tuesday afternoon, where authorities opened four emergency shelters but reported no deaths or injuries despite the heavy rain.
Heavy rainfall is expected to impact areas of the Western Caribbean through early Thursday, particularly across Jamaica and the Cayman Islands into western Cuba, according to the NHC. Rainfall totals between 4 to 8 inches are expected across western Cuba, with isolated higher totals up to 12 inches in areas of higher terrain.
The hurricane center said storm surge could raise water levels as much as 9 to 14 feet above normal tide levels in areas of onshore winds along the southern coast of Cuba, including the Isle of Youth.
"The combination of a storm surge and the tide will cause normally dry areas near the coast to be flooded by rising waters moving inland from the shoreline," the NHC said Wednesday afternoon. (USA Today) Read more here.
- Father God in Heaven, we come before You on bended knee, crying out for mercy.
We ask that, by the Power of Your Holy Spirit, You would blow forth Your winds to cause this storm to turn and to go out back to sea, in Jesus' name. We thank You, O Lord, that it is written that nothing is too difficult for you, in Your name, amen and amen.

Taurid meteor shower to reach peak visibility
|
|
|
The Taurid meteor shower will be visible in the night sky for the next week for the phenomenon's annual appearance.
Earth passes through the debris left behind by comets every fall from September to November and the meteor shower was expected to be most visible beginning early Tuesday through Nov. 12.
The phenomenon gets its name from the path it travels across the sky from the constellation Taurus, the Bull. Watchers can see more meteors, or fireballs, the higher the shower's radiants are in the sky.
Bill Cooke, the head of NASA's Meteoroid Environment Office, told ABC News that the Taurid meteor is the result of the Comet Encke, one of the largest in the solar system. Encke is a small portion of an even larger comet that broke up about 10,000 years ago.
"What makes them so special is the Taurids are big," Cooke said. "They're big pieces of debris, and they produce these very spectacular fireballs. You don't want to look at Taurus, because the meteor coming from there will have short trains and be faint."
The Taurid meteor shower comes in two waves, the Southern Taurids and the Northern Taurids.
Visibility for the Southern Taurids was expected to be best Monday and Tuesday as a dimmer moon -- just 11% full -- won't obstruct visibility.
The Northern Taurids are expected to reach their peak next on Nov. 11-12 but the moon will be 79% full during that period which will harm visibility. Read More
