A Cacophony of Catastrophes!

EXTREME WEATHER EVENTS

United States: Fires lead to air pollution alerts throughout U.S. as fires continued. Smoke blanketed western, southwestern, and northern states amid severe drought and higher than normal temps. California is preparing for potential power cuts as a result. Fires have destroyed over 1.7 million acres. Smoke from Canada drifted into the northern U.S. Fires last year in the U.S. burned 4.2 million acres, making 2020 the most devastating season on record.

California and Oregon: Largest Wildfires Burning in U.S. Dixie Fire in California grew by 110 square miles (285 square kilometers) between Thursday night and Friday morning, the largest wildfire currently raging in the U.S. It’s consumed 432,813 acres. Oregon’s Bootleg Fire was previously the nation’s largest active wildfire, at 413,765 acres. Dixie Fire, only 35% contained and expected to grow, is currently California’s third-largest wildfire in history. Bootleg Fire, sparked July 6, is 87% contained.

California: Lake Oroville reduced to trickle, the state’s second-largest reservoir, as drought across the western U.S. continues to toast the region. The reservoir hit a record low level.

Canada: Heavy smoke hampering firefighting efforts, choking B.C. Interior as 245 wildfires burn. The largest fires are in the Kamloops Fire Centre. The province’s Interior region continues to suffer from wildfire smoke. Authorities warn of serious health risks of long-term exposure.

Greece: ‘A Biblical Catastrophe’: Wildfires Rampage Through Greece. Over 100 fires have broken out across Greece over the past few days. Two people are dead, including a firefighter. Greece has been baked by its most protracted heatwave in 30 years, with temperatures soaring to 45 degrees C (113 degrees F). Temperatures eased Friday, but the winds picked up, further exacerbating the situation. Scores of homes, businesses, and farms have been burnt.

Southern Italy: As Mediterranean Wildfires Rage, Italy Counts Environmental Losses. Two people have died trying to save their farms in Calabria. The high temperatures in southern Italy have prompted officials to put some areas of the country on red alert, like Sicily. Fires have been raging on the island and in other parts of Italy for days, with authorities struggling to contain the fast-spreading blazes that have charred thousands of hectares of forests.

Northern Italy: Plagued Again By Flooding and landslides.

Turkey: Wildfires Rage Across Turkey. Authorities ordered mass evacuations as fire crews battled over 180 wildfires amid one of the region’s worst heatwaves in decades. Amid scorching heat, low humidity and constantly shifting winds, the wildfires have swept through forests in Turkey’s southern and southwestern coasts. Eight people have died.

Macedonia: North Macedonia declares state of emergency as fires rage on. A one-month state of emergency was declared on Thursday.

Albania: Lit Up by Wildfires as Government Seeks Help Abroad. 70 fires are currently burning. Fire is out of control on the Karaburun Peninsula, where there is not enough firefighting equipment.

Russia: Smoke from Siberian Wildfires Reached North Pole. Siberia is a famously cold place. But since May, it’s been extremely hot and on fire. Several million acres have burned. The smoke reached the North Pole for the first time, and the plume is expected to reach Canada later this week.

Mexico: Drought-plagued northern Mexico, tens of thousands of cows starving to death. Warning: Graphic images.

Germany: Officials investigated for homicide over slow flood response that killed 141 people in their state. Rhineland-Palatinate state had the most lethal floods in six decades that killed over 170 people, cut power to hundreds of thousands, and left a repair bill of over 6 billion euros ($7 billion). As well as the death toll, over 700 people were injured by floods in Rhineland-Palatinate.

China: Death toll triples to over 300 in recent China flooding with 50 still missing. Over a million livestock animals are dead; there’s a food and water emergency, also fears of major disease outbreaks.

North Korea: Extremely heavy rains hit parts of North Korea from August 1 to 3, resulting in widespread damage to homes, infrastructure, and agricultural fields.

CREATION IS GROANING

Countless animals have died in the drought, fires, and floods, not to mention the massive environmental damage. We live in a fallen world due to mankind’s sin [not so-called manmade climate change and cow flatulence as the Godless globalists would have us believe]. The groaning is louder than ever now as we near the return of Christ, who will set the world right again.

“For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope, Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body” (Romans 8:20-23).

INIQUITY (LAWLESSNESS; WICKEDNESS) WILL ABOUND (Matthew 24:12)

Fauci’s institute funded ‘deadly & unnecessary’ experiments on DOGS. The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), which Fauci has run since 1984, gave $424,455 to the University of Georgia to inject a group of beagles with experimental vaccines and then infest them with parasites. After watching their torment, they were slaughtered. Documents of this were obtained under a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request.

Murders up by 42% across major U.S. cities compared to 2019.

Warped San Francisco’s Warped D.A. Chesa Boudin Stands Up for Shoplifters and Drug Dealers. San Francisco’s broad-daylight retail heists have shocked the nation and triggered closings of stores and shortening of hours. 44% of the city is planning to move out, 80% citing out-of-control crime. Boudin ponders whether they’re mentally ill or on drugs, but it doesn’t occur to him that the thefts are illegal or whether continuous unpunished crime is seriously disruptive to any society of lawful order. In fact, Boudin embraces the logic of Black Lives Matters looters – if they had insurance, then it’s alright. Boudin also used warped logic for hardened drug dealers in the country illegally.

DOCTRINES OF DEMONS

TikTok’s Hottest New Trend: Demonic Possession? There’s a supposed explosion in dissociative identity disorder (multiple personalities) on TikTok. Several TikTok and YouTube accounts of people (refer to themselves as a “host” or “system” of multiple beings) have millions of online followers. They exhibit their various personalities for online notoriety in the guise of “educating” and “promoting awareness.” Some may be faking it, some not. Regardless, it’s disturbing, and to think they have hordes of followers.

LAST DAYS RETURN TO THE DAYS OF LOT (Luke 17:28-30)

Cross-dressing Gonzo on Disney’s Muppet Babies. One Million Moms has spoken out already about the LGBTQ indoctrination from Disney Junior and its shows for preschoolers. Now it’s pushing the LGBTQ agenda on toddlers. Muppet Babies’ July 23 episode titled “Gonzo-rella” features a male main character cross-dressing. This is outrageous that Disney Junior is normalizing gender dysphoria to young children. With such a liberal push in children’s entertainment, it’s obvious where Disney Junior stands. Take action. Sign the Disney Junior pledge stating you and your family will no longer support Disney nor watch Muppet Babies as long as it veers away from family-friendly entertainment. And please share this with your friends and family.

The Left Has a Pedophilia Problem, and It’s Out in The Open. New York Times, Washington Post, and Yale faculty aren’t the only powerful players attempting to normalize pedophilia. Flora Gill, biweekly columnist on “sex and relationships” for GQ.co.uk, called for creation of “porn for children,” which she calls “entry-level porn,” in a now-deleted tweet.

Hillsong Church founder Brian Houston for years has covered up the fact that he knew his father Frank, a pastor with Hillsong, had repeatedly raped a 7-year-old boy. When authorities tried to get to the bottom of it, Houston tried to prevent his pedophile father from being brought to justice. Brian Houston is also charged with bribing the male victim with a $10,000.00 payoff to keep quiet. Hillsong Church is a pit of vipers and a nest of devils. If you follow them, run!

American Medical Association Pushes To Remove Sex From Birth Certificates.

Olympic’ Medical and Science Director’ Says ‘Everyone Agrees Trans Women Are Women,’ Praises Trans Weightlifter.

In Michigan, Family farm banned from city farmers market over refusal to host gay weddings awaits ruling in legal battle.

ABORTION ABOMINATION

University of Pittsburgh Harvests Kidneys From Unborn Babies While Their Hearts are Still Beating. The federal government gave the university at least $2.7 million in federal tax dollars over the past five years to become a “tissue hub” for aborted baby body parts for scientific research. The university’s statements confirm that aborted babies’ hearts still are beating while their kidneys are harvested for scientific research for National Institutes of Health grant money.

Massachusetts senator Elizabeth Warren believes abortion on demand is the key to women’s freedom and democracy as a whole.

GLOBAL WARMING: A CRAFTY STRATEGY FOR GLOBAL GOVERNMENT

Bug burgers will replace beef in British diet within a decade due to green net-zero target, Great Reset-style taxpayer-funded review predicts. No doubt, it’s coming everywhere. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg with Mother Earth (Gaia) worshiping hypocritical liars who have dead consciences. They paint a picture of a utopia, but the reality will be far different.

“Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron… commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth” (1 Timothy 4:1-3).

FAMINE

Freak weather events and drought are now devastating agricultural production across the Globe. Our planet is changing in highly unusual ways. Despite advanced technology, we’re still very vulnerable to extreme weather fluctuations. If conditions don’t revert to normal soon, global food supplies are going to get tighter in the months ahead.

Maps show which U.S. crops will be wiped out by current devastating drought. 86% of sunflower production, 86% of alfalfa production, 99% of spring wheat production, 99% of durum wheat production, 84% of barley production.

During the Tribulation: “When He broke the third seal, I heard the third living creature saying, ‘Come!’ I looked, and behold, a black horse, and the one who sat on it had a pair of scales in his hand. And I heard something like a voice in the center of the four living creatures saying, ‘A quart of wheat for a denarius [a day’s wages], and three quarts of barley for a denarius [a day’s wages]” (Revelation 6:5-6).

PLAGUE

Plague-infested Chipmunks prompt Lake Tahoe closures. Officials closed some areas through August 7 so that the Forest Service could conduct vector control treatments.

What’s up with this June 2021 posting? U.K. Government Authority seeks to procure a framework agreement for temporary body storage in the event of an excess deaths situation for the 32 London boroughs and the City of London, led by Westminster City Council. The framework agreement will appoint a single provider and will be for a period of 4 years.

DRUG PLAGUE

More Children Than Ever Overdosing on Pot Edibles in the form of gummies, cookies, or brownies. Calls to poison centers for children under age 12 who’d eaten cannabis edibles jumped 1,600% between 2016 and 2020 to 2,681. So far this year, there’ve already been over 2,000 calls.

America’s Chinese Fentanyl Flood. Communist China is pouring highly addictive and unpredictable illicit drugs into the American bloodstream, killing tens of thousands a year, and American elites are doing nothing about it. Fentanyl mostly originates in China, often moving via Mexico (and Mexican drug gangs) into the U.S. The Chinese are also into the money laundering part of the business—helping drug gangs launder (or recycle) their massive earnings. A “win-win”—as Chinese communists like to say.

AND THE PLANNED-DEMIC

Lies are being spread that hospitals are full of Covid patients. Read about the lies at the link; also here.

Watch the Medical Establishment Crash Its Covid Credibility in Two Tweets. Director of the National Institutes of Health Dr. Francis Collins appeared on CNN telling parents to wear masks at home around their own children if those children are unvaccinated, but the parents are. Covid vaccines aren’t even yet approved for kids below 12. So that’s an issue. Another is that Covid still is very unlikely to spread to or from kids. By that afternoon, Dr. Collins took to Twitter to backtrack on the same weird advice he’d dispensed earlier on national T.V.

How does one follow this science? And what’s the science behind pestering Americans to get vaccinated while dumping thousands of Covid+ illegals all over the place? Fauci famously flipped on masks, which was bad enough. The medical establishment went all-in for BLM’s marches while keeping our churches, businesses, and schools closed. Both of those damaged the medical establishment’s credibility.

Covid mortality risk in children is almost zero, but “scientists” still want to mask all kids. It’s important to differentiate between children and young people (CYP) who died of Covid and those who died of an alternative disease process but coincidentally tested positive. And Covid is very rarely fatal, even among children with underlying comorbidities.

New COVID cases are in vaccinated people in the resort town of Cape Cod, Massachusetts. In a study of 469 cases, 74% occurred in fully vaccinated persons. Lab testing revealed 90% of infections involved the Delta variant. The study appears to negate the argument that unvaccinated Americans are responsible for the fourfold rise in Covid cases in the U.S. since June.

Israeli scientist says COVID could be treated for under $1/day with Ivermectin. A study shows Ivermectin reduces Covid’s duration and infectiousness, yet FDA and WHO caution against its use for Covid.

CNN’s Don Lemon says un-vaccinated should not be allowed to shop for food.

FDA Accidentally Reveals List of Covid Vaccine Side Effects, Including Myocarditis, Autoimmune Disease & Death. The slide showing the FDA’s draft list of “possible adverse event outcomes” appeared briefly during a public meeting by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s Product Advisory Committee on Oct, 22, 2020, reviewing the safety and efficacy of Covid-19 vaccines. It also notes ‘Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children’ as one possible outcome following vaccination.

‘Variant Worse Than Delta’: Fauci Dials Fear To 11 As Emerging ‘Lambda’ Strain Appears More Resistant to Vaccine. Fauci, the country’s top infectious disease specialist who funded controversial coronavirus research in Wuhan, China – and now manages pandemic response for the U.S. government – says the country could be “in trouble” unless everyone gets vaccinated.

The Federation of State Medical Boards warns that Physicians who post COVID vaccine “alleged” misinformation may lose their license.

FDA Reportedly Planning for COVID Vaccine Booster Shot Approval by September. So we have gone from double-masking to triple-jabbing… one wonders when it will end?

Dept of Justice Declares COVID Vaccine Mandates Legal, concluding with their opinion that federal law doesn’t prohibit public agencies and private businesses from requiring COVID vaccines under FDA’s emergency use authorization (EUA). Yet, under EUA, vaccine manufacturers aren’t liable for any injury, including death that their COVID vaccine may cause. Read “Dangers of COVID-19 Vaccine Mandates” by Todd Strandberg in the latest Nearing Midnight Update at raptureready.com.

U.S. developing plan to require foreign visitors to be vaccinated. How hypocritical since they’re releasing illegals into the U.S. who are known to have Covid. See the section “Deliberate Border Disorder” for more info.

New York City mandates Covid vaccination to attend indoor restaurants, gyms, entertainment venues.

Walt Disney, Walmart Mandate COVID Vaccine for U.S. Employees, Alter Mask Policy. Disney’s policy was announced as several big-tech companies, including Google and Facebook, said every American employee must get the jab before stepping back into the office. Walmart promised employees weeks ago that fully vaccinated employees wouldn’t have to wear a mask. Now they’ve reversed the policy; they’re required to wear a mask even if they’ve been vaccinated.

Sidney, Australia, deploys helicopters, hundreds of troops to keep people at home in new lockdowns.

Pakistanis Line Up for Vaccines En Masse as Officials Impose Tougher Measures for the Unvaccinated. Provincial officials imposed strict new measures, including withholding government workers’ salaries unless they get vaccinated.

EXPOSING LAST DAYS TRAITORS (2 Timothy 3:4).

Selling Out to Communism. Why is China buying up American farms? Chinese firms have expanded their presence in American agriculture over the last decade by snapping up farmland and purchasing major agribusinesses. “America cannot allow China to control our food supply,” Mike Pence said, urging Biden and Congress to “end all farm subsidies for land owned by foreign nationals.”

The Fall of Nations Has Always Followed the Same Pattern

They will be given rulers who are unsuitable to lead (Isaiah 3:4). Without wise leaders, a nation falls (Proverbs 11:14).

After Staffer Gives Biden a Note Saying, “Sir, There’s Something on Your Chin” – Biden Wipes His Chin, Then Eats It (VIDEO). And this man has the nuclear codes.

Biden raises eyebrows with claim he ‘used to drive’ 18-wheeler truck while visiting a Mack Truck facility. There’s no defense for this, but it didn’t stop Dems from trying. When asked if he ever drove such a truck, a White House spokesperson pointed to a 1973 article that showed he rode in an 18-wheeler on haul to Ohio. Fox News noted that riding in a truck is not the same as driving one – at which point Biden’s spokesperson pointed to a post that touched on him driving a school bus in the past as a summer job.

DELIBERATE BORDER DISORDER

Biden DOJ sues to stop Texas border crackdown.

In the U.S. Psaki Evades Question On Why Migrants Aren’t Tested For COVID, Says They’re Given Masks. Vice President of National Border Patrol Council Chris Cabrera said. “We’re releasing people out of the door day in and day out with actual positive tests for COVID, and more keep popping up.” Two weeks ago, COVID cases among apprehended migrants in Rio Grande Valley jumped 900% over the last 14 months. The rapid increase in migrants testing positive is affecting border patrol agents’ ability to stay healthy and do their jobs. Texas Gov. Abbott issued an executive order to address the “rise in COVID among unlawful migrants” in the state. Biden’s DOJ, however, says the order is unlawful and told him to rescind it.

Agents and officers detained 834 illegal immigrant children traveling the border without parents on Tuesday, shattering previous daily total in records. That’s just one day; several hundred arrive daily. Children are the toughest cases, but they’re only a small fraction of the total. Early indications are that border authorities made over 200,000 arrests in July, the highest rate in over 20 years. The monthly number has steadily increased during the Biden administration, undercutting his insistence that the surge was cyclical and happens every year.

Most encounters lead to immediate expulsion under a pandemic health emergency order begun by the Trump administration and kept in place by the Biden team. But tens of thousands of illegals are released each month, swelling the ranks of illegal immigrants already in the U.S. Analysts say the Biden administration invited the surge of children by creating an exception for them in its pandemic border shutdown policy.

Man who beheaded woman with machete had ICE hold on his record. Saborit’s prior convictions include a DWI, domestic assault, obstruction, and fleeing a police officer. He was also convicted in two incidents of domestic abuse in Louisiana. Saborit was repeatedly released from custody despite concerns about his mental stability.

ORWELLIAN SOCIETY

Coming soon: America’s own social credit system. China’s social credit system is a combination of government and business surveillance that gives citizens a “score” that can restrict the ability of individuals to take actions — such as purchasing plane tickets, acquiring property, or taking loans — because of behaviors. Given the position of several major American companies, a similar system may be coming here sooner than you think.

The CDC Coordinated with Facebook on COVID Messaging and so-called ‘Misinformation’; The CDC Received Over $3.5 Million in Free Advertising from Social Media Companies.

Twitter Suspends Journalist Who Repeated CDC Fact on Vaccines. Greg Piper shared a story from The College Fix that included the line “Vaccines are not safe for everyone.” This prompted Twitter to suspend his account despite the fact that the CDC states that some people can’t take the vaccine for medical reasons. The latest censorship controversy is reminiscent of the suspension of writer Alex Berenson after he posted the public results of a Pfizer vaccine trial. Also, Twitter suspended commentator Dave Rubin for criticizing vaccine policies.

Baylor Prof Demands Prosecution of Criticism of Fauci and Other ‘Scientists’ As Hate Crime.

“They Can’t Arrest Us All” – Sen. Rand Paul Urges Americans to “Resist” Pelosi & The Petty Tyrants. We are at a moment of truth and a crossroads. Will we allow these people to use fear and propaganda to do further harm to our society, economy, and children? Or will we stand together and say absolutely not; not this time; I choose freedom.”

CASHLESS SOCIETY

Are digital health passports a “Trojan Horse” for a coming cashless society? Several new technologies that appear separate and unrelated will soon converge, creating a giant digital trap that will easily entice the uninformed masses. The digital trap has already been set, and globalist elites are using Covid to speed up the process of convergence. Most people will sleep-walk right into the trap, which will ultimately reduce them to a human Q.R. code – trackable, traceable, and 100% dependent on Big Tech and big government for their existence.

NATION (ETHNIC) AGAINST NATION (ETHNIC): MARXIST AGENDA TO TAKE DOWN THE U.S.

Black supremacy group demands white parents stop sending their kids to college to “make room” for black students… no education for whites. We’ve seen many examples over the past few years, but instances are occurring more frequently as black supremacy groups become more emboldened by white liberal apologists.

Many Will Be Offended, Betray and Hate One Another (Matthew 24:10)

Minnesota: Controversial Muslim equity consultant is guiding educators. Muhammad Khalifa is the author of a controversial pamphlet on “Islamophobia and Christian privilege,” which directs teachers to “infuse curriculum and school activities with intellectual traditions that originate in the Muslim World” and claims that, unlike Islam, Western religions are not “a way of life.” One of the handouts attacks “whiteness.”

Incompetence + Arrogance = Woke. Politically correct ideology is masking and contributing to the widespread failure of our institutions. Either their abilities to carry out their assigned tasks are becoming diminished by Nineteen Eighty-Four-like wokism, or they’re using ideological camouflage simply to mask their unaccountability—and their increasing incompetence.

Maher Torches ‘Woke’ Culture: ‘This Is Called a Purge. It’s A Mentality That Belongs in Stalin’s Russia.’ Bill Maher is a diehard liberal Democrat, unbearable to watch, but does blast the left from time to time (so I hear). “Woke” liberals are having fits over him calling them out for their insanity.

HATRED OF JEWS AND ISRAEL (AND BELIEF IN THE ‘PALESTINIAN’ LIE)

Protestors in New York cry ‘Globalize the intifada’ at demonstration. Several hundred participating in a pro-Palestinian demonstration in Brooklyn chanted, ‘We don’t want no two states, we want all of it,’ and, ‘There is only one solution, intifada revolution.’ Demonstrators blocked traffic and shouted vulgar expressions at commuters and pedestrians. The anti-Israel group Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP) supported the rally. JVP is backed in part by the Rockefeller Brothers Fund, according to data from NGO Monitor.

Protesters in San Diego call for destruction of Israel. Ironically, the pro-‘Palestinian’ hypocrites carried signs saying “Down with racism and Zionism.”

Palestinian’ Authority leaders continue to deny existence of Jewish Temples.

Right after Lebanon’s ruling party, Hezbollah, attacked Israel with missiles on Wednesday, Biden pledged close to $100 million in additional “humanitarian aid” to Lebanon, which the Hezbollah terror organization currently controls.

WARS AND RUMORS OF WARS

Israel carries out airstrikes in Lebanon after rocket fire from Lebanon into Israel. Israel’s Air Force struck southern Lebanon Thursday in a fourth round of retaliatory attacks. The Israeli airstrikes were the most severe since 2006 and came after the IDF fired some 100 artillery shells towards south Lebanon.

Hezbollah claims responsibility for rockets towards Israel from Lebanon. A heavy barrage of close to 20 rockets was fired from Lebanon into northern Israel on Friday, activating the Iron Dome and setting off sirens throughout the area. Israel responded with artillery fire towards the source in Lebanon.

Tensions in Middle East escalate after Iranian terror at sea. Iran has changed tactics in the shadow war with Israel and the U.S. to terrorizing commercial ships in the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman.

Gantz says Iran is 10 weeks from breakout to a nuclear weapon. “Therefore,” he added, “it is time to act. The world must apply economic sanctions and take operative action against the Iran Revolutionary Guard Corps,” which has targeted shipping vessels.

Will Israel face Iran alone? Israel can’t ignore the deadly attack on an oil tanker connected to an Israeli company. But with the Western world increasingly reluctant to engage as they seek to return to the Iran nuclear deal, Israel could find itself without allies as it faces a regional foe more belligerent than ever.

At least 6 reported dead in blast at secret Russian weapons factory. The group suffered “horrific burns” at the chemical plant, with the only survivor employee left fighting for his life in a coma.

Russia Takes Advantage of Israel’s New Government’s Dangerous Embrace of Hostile U.S. Administration. The report of Israel’s new policy of restraint followed the big story of the week: Russia’s announcement that, for the first time, it assisted the Syrians in intercepting Israeli missiles fired at Iranian targets in Syria. Russia said it’s withdrawing its 2015 agreement with Israel to coordinate and deconflict Israel’s military operations in Syria. For Jerusalem, this decision is a major strategic blow. In other words, if Israel stood down in Syria to avoid a confrontation with Russia, it would be compelled to confront Russia on a much more dangerous battlefield in… Carolyn Glick said “Lebanon.” However, we know Russian-Arab forces will attack Israel in the Golan.

Those of us who know Bible prophecy know the significance of these latest developments and where it will lead – Isaiah 17, Ezekiel 38-39, and ultimately to Armageddon. God, who knows the end from the beginning, has told us in His Word, and He does not lie. “Surely it is coming, and it shall be done,’ says the Lord God. ‘This is the day of which I have spoken'” (Ezekiel 39:8).
