All-Out War :: By Daymond Duck

On June 17, 2024, Pres. Biden’s special U.S. envoy met with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and Israeli Defense Minister Gallant to try to prevent an all-out war between Israel and the Lebanon-based, Iranian-backed group called Hezbollah.

On social media, Israel’s Foreign Minister said:

  • We are getting very close to the moment of deciding to change the rules of the game against Hezbollah and Lebanon.
  • In an all-out war, Hezbollah will be destroyed and Lebanon severely beaten.

On June 18, 2024, Biden’s special envoy met with 3 high-ranking Lebanese officials (Lebanon’s Prime Minister, Parliamentary Speaker, and Military Commander) with the same goal in mind (prevention of an all-out war between Israel and Hezbollah in the nation of Lebanon).

Biden sent his special envoy to meet with these Lebanese officials in an effort to avoid a “greater war” in the Middle East, but it still sounded like an all-out war is on the horizon (the destruction of Lebanon, great damage in northern Israel, multitudes made homeless in both nations, many killed, etc.).

The UN, EU, U.S., and others have tried to produce peace in the Middle East for almost 80 years, but they have always failed because they refuse to believe that many Muslims don’t want peace. (Many want the destruction of Israel, not peace.)

The UN, EU, U.S., and others have worked out agreements that they expect (and try to force) Israel to keep, but they don’t expect (or try to force) radical Muslims to keep them.

In the last 8 months, Hezbollah has fired about 5,000 rockets, missiles, and drones at Israel, driven about 80,000 Israelis out of their homes, killed about 25 Israeli soldiers and citizens, damaged or destroyed almost 1,000 structures, and burned about 20,000 acres of Israeli land.

Israel has had enough of UN, EU, and U.S. worthless phony-baloney ceasefires and peace agreements.

Unless something unexpected happens, we could soon see an all-out war and possibly the fulfillment of several prophesied wars in the Middle East.

Because some readers may not agree with the above, I want to point out that Hezbollah’s ally Yahya Sinwar (Hamas’ military leader) recently rejected Pres. Biden’s three-phase ceasefire proposal that several U.S. officials called “extraordinarily generous.”

Among other things, Sinwar said:

  • The deaths of Palestinians and civilians in other places are “necessary sacrifices” (in Hamas’ effort to destroy Israel).
  • We have to move forward on the same path we started. (The Israeli-Hamas war started with the seizure, murder, rape, and enslavement of Jewish men, women, and children.)

Some call Sinwar a psychopathic killer or a genocidal maniac.

He spent 22 years in an Israeli prison for murder before being released in a prisoner swap.

In 2018, he told a reporter:

  • We make the headlines only with blood. No blood, no news.

Hezbollah is launching rockets, missiles, and drones into Israel almost every day, and Hezbollah says:

  • We will not stop attacking Israel until Israel ends its war with Hamas.

As I see it, a lasting peace treaty with Hezbollah and the murderer who heads up the Hamas military and controls the Palestinian people is not possible.

Hamas has even said they will regroup and keep attacking Israel.

On June 14, 2024, it was reported that:

  • Iran warned Israel not to launch a war with Hezbollah and notified the U.S. that Iran will join the war if one breaks out.

Considering what the Bible says; what Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran are saying; what is happening; the fact that the UN, EU, U.S., and others have not required the radical Muslims to keep their agreements; and that God will not allow Israel to be destroyed; it is my belief that an all-out war is on the horizon (and when the smoke and dust settles, Israel will still be on the map, more Jews will believe in Jehovah, and Allah will be greatly embarrassed).

(More: On June 20, 2024, expert prophecy teacher Amir Tsarfati wrote, “War is not a matter of if, but when.”)

(More: On June 20, 2024, it was reported that Israel has started moving troops from Gaza to its northern border in preparation for war with Hezbollah.)

(More: On June 22, 2024, it was reported that senior U.S. officials assured Israel that the U.S. will back Israel if there is an all-out war with Lebanon.)

(More: On June 22, 2024, Joel Rosenberg of All Israel News said, “We are facing an apocalyptic war.” God is shaking Israel. God is sovereignly letting it happen to humble us as Jews, as Israelis, and even with America beginning to waffle, that is telling us we have to turn to God and His Son and His word, or we don’t have hope.”)

(More: On June 23, 2024, Hezbollah launched several explosive-laden drones at Israel.)

(More: On June 23, 2024, it was reported that Canada is preparing to evacuate about 45,000 Canadian citizens from Lebanon.)

(More: Approximately 100,000 Lebanese citizens have left the country.)

(More: On June 24, 2024, Netanyahu said Hezbollah will have to be removed from the border, and Israel will have to do it.)

(More: On June 24, 2024, the U.S. warned Hezbollah and Lebanon that it will not be able to reign in Israel if they get into a war.)

Here are some recent current events that seem to relate to Bible prophecy.

One, concerning wars and rumors of wars: on June 19, 2024, Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah threatened to attack Cyprus if it continues to allow Israel to use its airports and bases for military exercises.

Two, concerning wars and rumors of wars: earlier this year, the U.S. started supplying Ukraine with long-range missiles called ATACMs that can hit targets about 190 miles away.

On June 24, 2024, it was reported that Ukraine launched a U.S.-made ATACM that was shot down by Russia over a beach in occupied Crimea (Ukrainian territory that Russia seized).

Falling shrapnel killed 4 people (two were Russian children) and wounded 150.

Russia summoned the U.S. ambassador, accused the U.S. of being involved in the attack, said the U.S. will not go unpunished, and said retaliatory measures will definitely follow.

Three, concerning world government: on June 20, 2024, Meryl Nass, MD for Door to Freedom, sent out a very long but excellent article on the World Health Organization’s (WHO’s) recent attempt to gain partial sovereignty over all nations on earth with a new International Pandemic Treaty (IPT) and amendments to the International Health Regulations (IHRs).

Here is a link to what I received:

https://mail.yahoo.com/d/folders/6/messages/115572

Here is a link to their analysis:

https://merylnass.substack.com/p/complete-article-by-article-analysis

Dr. Nass said,

  • Attempts to water down both documents were made during the final days before and even during the meeting, but no general agreement could be obtained. Finally, at the eleventh hour (as often happens), an agreement was reached to give the Pandemic Treaty negotiations another year, with some new negotiators to be brought in. A set of amendments to the International Health Regulations were passed, but the heart of the document had been defanged: while the WHO Director-General would be allowed to declare public health emergencies, he would not accrue special powers as a result; he would not be able to order nations to pass laws; he could not issue lockdowns, mandates, etc.

This was a major victory for those who oppose the coming satanic world government (New World Order, Great Reset, etc.), but the globalists are not happy, and they are not giving up.

They have already issued a new report “charting a path forward.”

I have decided not to go into detail on Dr. Nass’s analysis of the new IPT and amendments to the IHRs because it is so long and detailed, but it is an excellent resource for those who are looking for information on this issue.

Four, concerning a falling away in the Church and the coming one-world satanic religion: Roman Catholic Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano was summoned to appear at the Vatican on June 20 to face the beginning of a trial on charges that he has committed schism (promoted discord; caused dissent or conflict) and denied the legitimacy of Pope Francis.

Here is a link to an article on the announcement of his summons:

https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/breaking-vatican-charges-archbishop-vigano-with-schism-for-denial-of-the-legitimacy-of-pope-francis/?utm_source=daily-usa-2024-06-21&utm_medium=email

Here is a link to Vigano’s response to the charges:

https://www.lifesitenews.com/opinion/archbishop-vigano-responds-to-schism-charge-i-regard-the-accusations-against-me-as-an-honor/?utm_source=daily-usa-2024-06-21&utm_medium=email

His response is long, so here is a small part of what he said. Those who are interested can go to the link for his full response.

  • Bergoglio (Pope Francis) promotes uncontrolled immigration and calls for the integration of cultures and religions.
  • Bergoglio authorizes the blessing of same-sex couples and imposes on the faithful the acceptance of homosexualism while covering up the scandals of his protégés and promoting them to the highest positions of responsibility.
  • Bergoglio… supports Agenda 2030 (the coming satanic world government) and attacks those who question the theory of man-made global warming.
  • He has mandated the use of experimental gene serums, which caused very serious damage, death and sterility, calling them “an act of love,” in exchange for funding from pharmaceutical companies and philanthropic foundations.
  • Bergoglio is to the Church what other world leaders are to their nations: traitors, subversives, and final liquidators of traditional society who are certain of impunity.
  • I am honored not to have – and indeed, I do not want – any ecclesial communion with them: theirs is a lobby that conceals its complicity with the masters of the world in order to deceive many souls and prevent any resistance against the establishment of the Kingdom of the Antichrist.

(My opinion: It is better to obey God than man. We are not only witnessing an all-out shooting war shaping up in the Middle East, but we are also witnessing an all-out spiritual war against the Church.)

(My opinion: I, too, believe Pope Francis is on the wrong side of the spiritual war. I also believe Vigano loves the Roman Catholic Church; he is grieved by what Francis is doing, and he is urging Roman Catholics to stick to their traditional understanding of the issues. I admire Vigano for risking his job and reputation to stand up for what he believes the Bible teaches.)

(More: On June 20, 2024, expert prophecy teacher Amir Tsarfati wrote, “You can either take part in the globalist agenda or do your part to stand up against it.”)

Five, concerning an increase in the frequency and intensity of natural disasters at the end of the age: on June 23, 2024, it was reported that more than 1,400 temperature records were broken on Earth in the past week.

Some so-called experts have blamed it on global warming or climate change.

I believe God is telling us the end of the age has arrived and the lost are running out of time to get saved.

(More: At the time I am writing this on June 23, 2024, there is record-breaking heat in the U.S. West and mid-Atlantic; flooding in Iowa, South Dakota, and Minnesota; and a tornado watch in several New England states.)

Six, concerning a peace agreement with Hamas and Hezbollah: on June 24, 2024, an Israeli official said:

  • We have had a litany of agreements concluded between Israel and Hamas and Hezbollah. And now we know very well that each agreement concluded with Hezbollah and with Hamas have been only means to enhance their destructive capabilities.

In my words, he said, history shows that Hezbollah and Hamas do not keep their agreements.

Seven, concerning world government: at the World Economic Forum (WEF) meeting in Dalian, China, on June 25, 2024, Klaus Schwab said, “To drive future economic growth, we must embrace innovation and force the collaboration across sectors, regions, nations, and cultures to create a more peaceful, inclusive, sustainable, and resilient future.”

According to the article, Klaus argues that “economic growth” and a more “peaceful” future will come from reducing population numbers and embracing innovation, such as artificial intelligence (AI) while using the green agenda to advance policy change.

Notice that, among other things, Schwab wants to:

  • Force all regions, nations, and cultures to collaborate with the agenda of unelected globalists.
  • Reduce population numbers.
  • Force everyone to go by the green agenda.

(My opinion: MAGA goes against forcing all nations to collaborate. Corrupt elections are about empowering people to collaborate. Controlling everyone will culminate in tracking all buying and selling and the beheading of all who do not collaborate. Abortion, LGBTQ, euthanasia, etc., are all about reducing population numbers, and the green agenda is about controlling people.)

Eight, concerning the Battle of Gog and Magog: on June 25, 2024, Israel’s Defense Min. (Gallant) met with the U.S. Sec. of Defense (Austin).

Gallant told Austin:

  • The greatest threat to the future of the world is Iran.
  • Time is running out.
  • Now is the time to materialize the commitment of American Administrations over the years – the promise to prevent Iran from possessing nuclear weapons.

Here is my daily update on the Israel-Hamas war.

Thursday, June 20, 2024 (Day 259): The two-hundred-and-third day of the resumed war. Day 45 of the attack on Rafah.

  • Hezbollah is vowing to fight a war without rules if it gets into a war with Israel.

  • Hezbollah threatened to target Israel’s oil rigs in the Mediterranean Sea.
  • Israel’s Defense Min. said his nation has powerful weapons that it will use if necessary.
  • The U.S. said Israel’s Iron Dome anti-missile defense system may be overwhelmed by the great number of rockets Hezbollah fires at Israel at the same time.
  • S. and Israeli intelligence said there may be as few as 50 (out of 116 remaining) hostages still alive.

Friday, June 21, 2024 (Day 260): The two-hundred-and-fourth day of the resumed war. Day 46 of the attack on Rafah.

  • Netanyahu said the flow of U.S. arms to Israel will be critical in a war with Hamas.
  • Israel has stepped up its attacks in Rafah and other parts of Gaza. There has been fierce, non-stop fighting for two days.
  • UN Sec. Gen. Guterres expressed profound concern over the escalating tensions between Israel and Hezbollah. Guterres said, “One rash move — one miscalculation — could trigger a catastrophe that goes far beyond the border and, frankly, beyond imagination.”
  • UN Sec. Gen. Guterres said there is total lawlessness and chaos in Gaza, and most of the humanitarian aid is looted.
  • S. efforts to stop an all-out war between Israel and Hezbollah are going nowhere.
  • UN efforts to disarm Hezbollah and push them back from Israel’s border have been a total failure.

Saturday, June 22, 2024 (Day 261): The two-hundred-and-fifth day of the resumed war. Day 47 of the attack on Rafah.

  • Israel assassinated the man who supplies weapons to Hamas in Lebanon.
  • Israel struck the director of the Hamas media office in Gaza (his condition is unknown).
  • Israel criticized the UN for disseminating misleading or false information on the war in Gaza.

Sunday, June 23, 2024 (Day 262): The two-hundred-and-sixth day of the resumed war. Day 48 of the attack on Rafah.

  • Thousands of Iranian-backed groups in the Middle East have offered to fight shoulder to shoulder with Hezbollah if it gets into an all-out war with Israel.
  • Whistleblowers say Hezbollah is storing huge quantities of Iranian rockets, missiles, explosives, etc., at Lebanon’s main civilian airport. If Israel targets those weapons, innocent civilians will probably be killed.
  • Israel shot down a drone that was coming from Iraq (a Psa. 83 enemy of Israel, as is Lebanon and Egypt).
  • Netanyahu repeated his claim that the U.S. is delaying some (not all) weapon shipments to Israel. Biden denies it. Israel’s defense min. has arrived in the U.S. to try to get delayed weapons shipments speeded up.
  • Israel destroyed a terrorist training camp in Rafah.

Tuesday, June 25, 2024 (Day 264): The two-hundred-and-eighth day of the resumed war. Day 50 of the attack on Rafah.

  • PA sources said an Israeli attack in Gaza killed 10 members of Ismail Haniyeh’s family. Haniyeh is the political leader of Hamas.
  • Hamas wants Israel and Hezbollah to get into an all-out war because Hamas believes another war will take the Israeli pressure off Hamas.
  • Some of the Israeli hostages are suing the UNWRA for $1 billion for using UN money to help Hamas buy, smuggle, and store weapons and explosives.

Wednesday, June 26, 2024 (Day 265): The two-hundred-and-nineth day of the resumed war. Day 51 of the attack on Rafah.

  • Hamas has held 5 U.S. citizens hostage for almost 9 months.

FYI: God does not send anyone to Hell (all of us are born with a sin nature and destined to go to Hell because we sin), but God has provided a way (Jesus) for everyone to go to Heaven (and He is the only way to get there; John 14:6).

Finally, are you Rapture Ready?

If you want to be rapture ready and go to heaven, you must be born again (John 3:3). God loves you, and if you have not done so, sincerely admit that you are a sinner; believe that Jesus is the virgin-born, sinless Son of God who died for the sins of the world, was buried, and raised from the dead; ask Him to forgive your sins, cleanse you, come into your heart and be your Saviour; then tell someone that you have done this.

Intentionally Blind :: By Daymond Duck

On Jan. 6, 2024, Israel used precise munitions to kill nine known terrorists inside 3 rooms at a United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) school.

The Hamas-controlled Palestinian media quickly suggested that Israel killed about 45 civilians.

The international media and global leaders quickly jumped all over Israel.

An Israeli spokesperson said:

  • We delayed our strike twice because we identified civilians in the area. We had aerial surveillance that had been monitoring the Hamas compound for a few days. We conducted the strike once our intelligence and surveillance indicated that there were no women or children inside the Hamas compound, inside those classrooms.
  • This is the fifth time we have had to target Hamas and PIJ terrorists operating from inside UNRWA facilities… in the last month alone.
  • Hamas wages war from schools and hospitals. Hamas hopes that international law and public sympathy will provide a shield for their military activities, which is why they systematically operate from schools, UN facilities, hospitals, and mosques.

As I understand it, the Hamas terrorists are violating international law by operating out of schools and hospitals, but the international media and many global leaders are deliberately turning a blind eye to that fact.

It is an established fact that Hamas and their Palestinian supporters have been exaggerating the number of citizens killed in this war, but the international media and many global leaders are deliberately disregarding that unpleasant truth.

Israel seems to be taking great pains to try to avoid killing innocent people, something the international media and most global leaders are bound to know (because they are not stupid), but they choose to ignore it.

Two days later, on June 8, 2024, Israel rescued 4 hostages that were being held in a civilian neighborhood; several people were killed, and, once again, the international media and several global leaders went bonkers.

The EU Minister of Foreign Affairs criticized Israel for “another massacre of civilians” and said, “We condemn this in the strongest terms. The bloodbath must end.”

Following Norway’s criticism of Israel, the Israeli ambassador to Norway said:

  • Hostages shouldn’t be kept in densely populated areas; Families shouldn’t be locking up hostages in their homes on behalf of terror organizations; Civilians shouldn’t be kidnapped.
  • Israel has not only the right to rescue its kidnapped citizens but the obligation to do so. Those who kidnapped civilians and paid families to keep them as hostages in their homes in the middle of a populated residential area are responsible for each and every casualty.

Once again, the Hamas terrorists were violating international law, but the international media and many global leaders continued to turn a blind eye.

They know what Hamas is doing, but they are intentionally blind or willfully avoiding the real problem (and that is why some problems never get solved).

Here are some recent events that seem to indicate that we are close to the end of the age.

One, on June 10, 2024, Israel announced that Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad have launched more than 19,000 missiles at Israel since the Oct. 7, 2023 Israeli-Hamas war began.

Most of the financing for these missiles was provided by Iran.

What have the international media and global leaders done about it?

My answer: other than jumping all over Israel for defending itself, they appear to be intentionally blind to why Israel is striking back.

On June 16, 2024, an Israeli spokesman said:

  • When we say that we will not let October 7th happen again on any one of our borders – we mean it.
  • Because of Hezbollah’s refusal to comply with UN Security Council Resolution 1701 — because of Hezbollah’s military infrastructure, weapons, and fire at Israel from the area south of the Litani River in southern Lebanon — and because of Lebanon’s failure to enforce 1701 on Hezbollah — Israel will take the necessary measures to protect its civilians — until security along our border with Lebanon is restored.
  • One way or another – we will ensure the safe and secure return of Israelis to their homes in Northern Israel. That is not up for negotiation.

(My opinion: If Hezbollah doesn’t stop attacking Israel – and I don’t think they will – this will soon turn into an all-out war, spread, and involve other nations.).

Two, concerning wars and rumors of wars, including the Battle of Gog and Magog: on June 14, 2024: CBN reported that:

  • The possibility of a war between Israel and Hezbollah is growing.
  • Iran warned Israel not to launch a war and notified the U.S. that Iran will join the war if one breaks out.
  • Israel’s military leaders are recommending that the government allow them to bring a quick end to the Rafah operation so they can focus on a wider war with Hezbollah in Lebanon.

(More: In a different article, it was reported that Israel intends to conclude its attacks in Rafah in the next 2 weeks.)

(More: In another article, it was reported that anonymous officials said the Biden administration is concerned that the war could get out of hand and the U.S. could be drug into it to prevent the defeat of Israel. The U.S. will send another diplomat to Israel on June 17, 2024, to try to calm the situation.).

(More: On June 17, 2024, Gatestone Institute posted an article by Carolyn Glick (author and columnist, that said, “Hezbollah is burning a swathe through northern Israel. The nature reserves, grazing land, fields, and orchards are burning to the ground. Military bases, including several strategic assets, are incurring major damage. More than 1,000 homes have been destroyed. Businesses are bankrupt. And some 80,000 displaced Israelis are living in hotels with no sense of when they may be able to go home.”)

(Update: On June 18, 2024, it was reported that the Israeli military has approved plans for an all-out war against Hezbollah and is preparing for it in case the government orders it. Israel’s foreign minister said, “We are very close to the moment when we will decide to change the rules of the game against Hezbollah and Lebanon,” Katz said in a statement. . .. In a total war, Hezbollah will be destroyed, and Lebanon will be hit hard.” For whatever it is worth, the U.S. is urging Israel not to get into another war.)

(My opinion: If this war breaks out and Iran gets involved, Russia, Turkey, and other Islamic nations and groups could be dragged in. It will provoke God’s wrath, He will get involved, and it will be a sure sign that the latter days and latter years have arrived.)

(My question: Pres. Biden has threatened to cut off U.S. support for Israel if Netanyahu doesn’t do what Biden says. How has Biden threatened Iran, Hezbollah, Hamas, or the Palestinians if they don’t do what he says?)

Three, concerning wars and rumors of wars: on June 15, 2024, it was reported that Israel’s enemies are using newer, more powerful drones, to drop small bombs on Israeli tanks, observation towers, armored personnel carriers, groups of troops, etc.

Israel needs to find a better way to deal with this new kind of warfare.

Four, concerning wars and rumors of wars and the government tracking people: on June 14, 2024, the U.S. House of Representatives passed an amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) that uses existing government data to automatically register all draft-age (18-26 years old) male and female U.S. residents with the Selective Service for a possible military draft.

Put another way, freedom of choice for military duty is over.

The U.S. military will soon be able to draft males and females who are 18-26 years old.

Five, concerning the use of nuclear weapons: a reader sent me a report dated June 17, 2024, that says Israel is significantly upgrading its nuclear capabilities.

(More: On June 17, 2024, it was reported that Israel has 90 nuclear warheads that can be launched from the air, land, or sea.)

(My opinion: This could explain how Damascus, Syria, could be destroyed in one night.)

(More: On June 17, 2024, it was reported that North Korea probably has about 50 nuclear weapons.)

(More: On June 18, 2024, a nuclear-armed Chinese submarine surfaced off the coast of Taiwan, sat still for several minutes, then joined several other Chinese ships and moved on.)

(My opinion: Because of Russia’s threats and naval maneuvers near Florida, several people have asked me if I believe the U.S. and Russia will get into a nuclear war. I doubt it. If it happened, I believe NATO would get involved, the EU and Russia would strike each other, and that doesn’t align with Bible prophecy. I believe Russia must exist to attack Israel in the Battle of Gog and Magog, and the EU must be a powerhouse to produce the Antichrist and head up the New World Order.)

Six, concerning a global economic collapse early in the Tribulation Period (rider on the black horse): on June 13, 2024, it was reported that Saudi Arabia has notified the U.S. that the dollar will no longer be the only currency that Saudi Arabia accepts from nations that want to buy oil.

This will be a major step in the global use of other currencies, and it will likely have a negative impact on the U.S. economy.

Seven, concerning a global economic collapse early in the Tribulation Period and a one-world economic system at the middle of the Tribulation Period: on June 17, 2024, it was reported that a UN report says the world’s debt is approaching 100 trillion dollars, and it is threatening the global economy.

According to the UN report, the global financial system needs to be overhauled.

Eight, concerning the U.S. and a digital ID: on June 14, 2024, Leo Hohmann (author and speaker) said the U.S. has secretly adopted a digital ID program.

Hohmann believes the program will begin in the U.S. as a voluntary program and ultimately become a required program.

He believes the first group that will be coerced into accepting it will be citizens who get benefits from the federal government (veterans, people drawing social security, on welfare, etc.).

(My opinion: Christians won’t be here when the Mark of the Beast is implemented globally, but a digital ID is a big step in that direction. Also, the Mark of the Beast is not every person having a different digital ID. It is every person taking the name, number, or Mark of the Beast.)

Nine, concerning who will govern the Gaza Strip if Biden can force Israel to withdraw: on June 18, 2024, it was reported that Hamas has instructed 2 battalions of troops to stay out of the war with Israel and to maintain their fighting abilities so they will have the military strength to become a governing force when Israel leaves.

(Note: Recent polls show that if a new election were held in Gaza, 67% of the Palestinians would vote for Hamas. It is likely that the terrorists would continue to be in power and continue to fire rockets into Israel. This is one reason Israel is determined to defeat Hamas no matter how hard Biden tries to protect them.)

Ten, concerning the possibility of corruption in the Pharmaceutical industry: on June 17, 2024, Kansas announced that it is suing Pfizer for misleading Kansans about the safety and efficacy of its COVID-19 vaccine.

Here is my daily update on the Israel-Hamas war.

Wednesday, June 12, 2024 (Day 251): The one hundred ninety-fifth day of the resumed war. Day 37 of the attack on Rafah.

Wednesday, June 19, 2024 (Day 258): The two-hundred-and-second day of the resumed war. Day 44 of the attack on Rafah.

  • Hamas said no part of Israel will be safe if a full-fledged war breaks out.

FYI: God does not send anyone to Hell (all of us are born with a sin nature and destined to go to Hell because we sin), but God has provided a way (Jesus) for everyone to go to Heaven (and He is the only way to get there; John 14:6).

Finally, are you Rapture Ready?

If you want to be rapture ready and go to heaven, you must be born again (John 3:3). God loves you, and if you have not done so, sincerely admit that you are a sinner; believe that Jesus is the virgin-born, sinless Son of God who died for the sins of the world, was buried, and raised from the dead; ask Him to forgive your sins, cleanse you, come into your heart and be your Saviour; then tell someone that you have done this.
