On two separate occasions in 2024, Iran launched hundreds of missiles, rockets, and drones directly at Israel.

Following the first attack in Apr. 2024, the Biden administration urged Israel not to respond in a significant way.

Following the second attack on Oct. 1, 2024, Israel said it would launch a retaliatory attack on Iran, but the Biden administration urged Israel not to attack Iran’s oil facilities or nuclear sites.

Many students of Bible prophecy started waiting for Israel to attack Iran, and I started thinking I should draft an article titled “Waiting.”

On Oct. 21, it was reported that an official said when it happens, it will be “fierce and strong and very surprising,” so I have gone from “Waiting” to “Fierce, Strong, and Surprising.”

I don’t know what Israel will do, but I know:

• That the Biden administration demanded to know Israel’s plans, Israel gave them the information, and it appears that someone in the Biden administration leaked them to Iran.
• That Israel’s Defense Min. said a retaliatory strike got a whole lot bigger after Iran’s proxy Hezbollah launched a drone strikeon the private residence of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Now, many are waiting, many are expecting it to be fierce, strong, and surprising, and it goes without saying, but many are wondering if it will lead to the Battle of Gog and Magog (Note: See point Six below).

(My opinion: It may do great damage to Iran, but Iran will not be defeated until the Battle of Gog and Magog.)

(More: On Oct. 24, 2024, it was reported that Israel still intends to retaliate against Iran, but Israel is revising its plans because of the leak to Iran.)

(More: On Oct. 25, 2024, it was reported that a squadron of F-16 fighter jets have arrived in the Middle East from Germany courtesy of the U.S.)

On Oct. 26, 2024, Israel struck Iran, and here are some of the reports that were released on that day:

>Israel asked several third-party sources to tell Iran what Israel would strike, what Israel would not strike, and that Iran had better not retaliate against Israel for striking them.

>Israeli officials said Israeli jets are striking sites all over Iran, including one site near one of Iran’s nuclear power plants and facilities that made vital components for Iran’s missiles and drones.

>After more than 100 Israeli fighter jets struck multiple sites in Iran, Israel said its retaliatory mission was over and that all its jets had returned home safely. It seems to me that Israel’s retaliation can rightly be described as fierce, strong, and surprising. Even though at least 4 Iranians died in the attacks, the Iranian military tried to minimize the damage.

>At the same time Israel was striking sites in Iran, Israel also struck several Iranian sites in Syria and Iraq.

>A U.S. official said the U.S. did not participate in Israel’s attacks on Iran, but if Iran retaliates, the U.S. is prepared to help defend Israel.

>The message has been sent that Israel will no longer tolerate Iranian-funded proxy (Hezbollah, Hamas, Houthi, etc.) attacks on Israel. Henceforth, Israel can and will attack the head of the snake (Iran).

On Oct. 27, 2024, Israel’s attacks on Iran weren’t as destructive as many Israelis wanted, but Israel’s attacks destroyed all of Iran’s air-defense systems, key radar systems, and cleared the way for greater, more destructive attacks in the future, if needed.

(My opinion: With Iran now vulnerable, Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis may be having second thoughts about attacking Israel. Iran is sending mixed signals – we will attack Israel; we won’t attack Israel, etc. – but it appears to me that Iran needs to stop trying to destroy Israel or to get help elsewhere, perhaps from Russia, Turkey, and other Islamic entities. We know that will happen, and it will change the world when it does.)

(More: On Oct. 27, 2024, Israel’s cabinet decided there will be another attack on Iran at some undetermined time in retaliation for the Iran-sponsored attack on Netanyahu’s house.)

(More: On Oct. 28, 2024, Israel’s ambassador had a message for Iran, “Take this as a warning: Israel has shown restraint, but from here on, you will only see strength. Any further aggression will be met with consequences that are swift and decisive.”)

Here are recent reports that seem to indicate that the end of the age is close.

One, concerning God blessing those that bless Israel and cursing those that curse Israel:

>On Oct. 22, 2024, Franklin Graham (pres. of Samaritan’s Purse and the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association) wrote, it is a great honor to stand with Israel. This nation was brutally attacked and has every right to defend itself from those who want to wipe it off the face of the earth. As a Christian, I believe the Jews are God’s chosen people, and so we want to do all that we can to stand with Israel in this hour of great need and provide for those who are constantly at risk.

>On Oct. 22, 2024, Sen. Jim Risch (R-Idaho), ranking member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and 27 other Republican senators introduced legislation that would cut off U.S. funding to the United Nations and its subsidiary agencies if they downgrade Israel’s status in the UN. The U.S. is the largest contributor to the UN and its agencies ($18 billion in 2022), so cutting off the funding could lead to the downfall of the UN.

>On Oct. 22, 2024, in response to the Biden-Harris administration’s threat to cut military aid to Israel if it didn’t allow the Palestinians to receive more humanitarian aid, Israel reported that 237 trucks of military aid have entered northern Gaza in the last 9 days. Sadly, the Biden-Harris administration says nothing about Hamas stealing the aid, smuggling weapons in the trucks, forcing Palestinians to pay for the aid, etc.

>On Oct. 23, 2024, Israel assassinated a Hamas commander that participated in the Oct. 7 Hamas attack on Israel and several attacks on Israeli troops in Gaza. Israel provided proof that he has worked for the UNRWA since July 2022.

>On Oct. 24, 2024, the UNRWA admitted that the assassinated Hamas commander was one of its employees. Following this admission, Israel demanded an urgent investigation of UNRWA’s involvement in the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas attack on Israel that killed about 1,200 people, took 252 hostages, and started the war.

(Question: How many Iranian-backed Hamas terrorists can the UN employ before it is declared to be a terrorist organization? How many Iranian-backed Hamas terrorists can the UN employ before the U.S. stops giving U.S. tax-payer dollars to the UN to help pay terrorist salaries?)

(More: On Oct. 23, 2024, Israel’s ambassador to Costa Rica said Iran and Hezbollah have established bases in Bolivia, Nicaragua, and Venezuela.)

(Question: Why is the White House allowing illegal immigrants from these nations to cross our border and come into the U.S.?)

(More: Trump is accusing Biden and Harris of allowing an invasion of criminal migrants from prisons and jails. He called America a dumping ground and said we’re like a garbage can for the world.)

(My opinion: Radical globalists are running America, not Biden and Harris, but they are cooperating with the globalists that have taken over America and are trying to create a godless, borderless world government. And that will not end well. To Trump’s credit, during his speech at Madison Square Garden on Oct. 27, 2024, he said he is running against something far bigger than Joe or Kamala.)

Two, concerning an attack on Israel by Iranian-backed Hezbollah terrorists: on Oct. 23, 2024, Israeli Prime Min. Netanyahu said,

• A hundred meters, two hundred meters from the border (Israel’s border with Lebanon), we found tunnels (with jeeps, motorbikes, rockets, and missiles) that were preparing an invasion of Israel, an attack even greater than on October 7.

Three, concerning the destruction of Damascus (in one night) at the end of the age: on Oct. 24, 2024, Israel struck a residential building in Damascus, and large explosions were heard in the city.

Four, concerning deceit at the end of the age: on Oct. 23, 2024, the House Energy and Commerce Committee released a report that says the Biden-Harris administration spent $900 million promoting Covid messages that were mostly false or misleading (about the effectiveness of vaccines, the danger to children, the value of masks and more).

According to the report, Americans cannot afford another botched government response to a future pandemic.

(More: On Oct. 23, 2024, it was reported that the American Cancer Society said cancer deaths in young people have doubled when compared to pre-2020 levels.)

Five, concerning deceit and persecution at the end of the age: it has been reported that the Biden-Harris administration approved a directive that went into effect on Sept. 27, 2024:

• That former independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said makes it legal for the U.S. military to shoot and kill Americans who engage in political protest because they disagree with policies in the White House.
• That podcaster Joe Rogan said gives the U.S. military the ability to shoot and kill American citizens for the first time in history.
• That media personality Larry Jones said allows the military to use lethal force against Americans.

A spokesperson for the Dept. of Defense (DoD) is denying these accusations.

A copy of the DoD directive (5240.01) has been posted on X (formerly Twitter).

Here is a link to the American Military News article:

https://americanmilitarynews.com/2024/10/videos-pic-biden-harris-admin-approves-military-use-of-lethal-force-on-us-citizens-report/

Six, concerning the Battle of Gog and Magog: on Oct. 28, 2024, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei urged the world to stand up against Israel in a military coalition if necessary.

Khamenei’s exact words were: “The world should form a coalition, a political coalition, an economic coalition, and if necessary, a military coalition against the war crimes of the Zionist regime (Israel), an evil regime that is committing the most savage war crimes today.”

The Battle of Gog and Magog will be an attack on Israel by a military coalition in the latter years and latter days.

Seven, concerning freedom of religion in America and the future of America: on Oct. 28, 2024, former president Trump said he will reestablish the office of faith under the president in the White House if he is re-elected.

Trump said,

• We have to save religion in this country. I mean, honestly, religion is under threat in this country, a serious threat, and we can’t let that happen. It’s sort of the fabric of our country. It’s the thing that holds our country together. We can’t, we can’t lose it. We’re not going to lose it.
• The life and death and resurrection of Jesus Christ forever changed the world.
• It’s impossible to think of the life of our own country without the influence of His example and His teachings.

Eight, concerning support for Israel: on Oct. 29, 2024, 5 Republicans and 13 Democrats sent a letter to French Pres. Macron, asking him to reject plans for an arms embargo against Israel.

They reminded him that Hamas murdered 48 French citizens on Oct. 7, 2023, and are still holding 2 French hostages in Gaza.

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

Wednesday, Oct. 23, 2024 (Day 383) The three hundred and twenty-eighth day of the resumed war. Day 161 of the attack on Rafah.

Sunday, Oct. 27, 2024 (Day 387) The three hundred and thirty-second day of the resumed war. Day 165 of the attack on Rafah.

• Israel captured about 100 Hamas terrorists in a Gaza hospital. Many disguised themselves as medical staff to try to escape capture, but Israel searched them and checked them out.

• Israel struck the Hezbollah military’s fuel depot in Lebanon.

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.

Last week, my article was titled “Not An Isolated Incident.”

The title came from a letter signed by signed by 85 retired U.S. generals and admirals who said:

• 7 (the Hamas attack on Israel) is not an isolated incident but one front in a much larger global civilizational struggle.

It is my belief (and I think it is theirs):

• That the Hamas attack on Israel is part of an effort by radical Islamic terrorists to create a one-world government and religion under a Shiite Muslim ruler.
• That Israel – the so-called Little Satan – is not just fighting for its existence.
• Israel is also fighting for the existence of the U.S. – the so-called Great Satan – and the rest of the world.

On Oct. 10, 2024, RAIR Foundation USA posted an article by Investigative Journalist Amy Mek that said:

• On Monday (Oct. 7, 2024, the one-year anniversary of the Oct 7 attack), a group of imams from across the U.S. published an open letter endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris.
• But this endorsement isn’t simply about political preference—it’s a calculated move within a broader strategy to further an Islamic expansionist agenda in American politics.
• The imams’ endorsement of Harris is just the latest move in a larger game of political chess aimed at embedding Islamic governance into the fabric of the United States.
• If left unchecked, this growing alliance between Islamic leaders and the far left will threaten both U.S. security and the freedoms Americans hold dear. The ultimate goal isn’t just political influence—it’s a transformation of the United States into a society where Islamic law dominates, and the very fabric of American life is fundamentally altered.

Have you got this?:

• 85 retired U.S. generals and admirals recently posted a letter that said Oct. 7 is not an isolated incident but one front in a much larger global civilizational struggle (a fight for the existence of the U.S.).
• A group of Muslim leaders in the U.S. posted a letter endorsing Kamala Harris, and Mek says their ultimate goal is a transformation of the United States into a society where Islamic law dominates and the very fabric of American life is fundamentally altered.

(My opinion: The upcoming election won’t stop Islam from trying to transform the world into a radical Islamic caliphate, but the U.S. Imams are supporting Harris because they believe they will make more and faster progress under a Harris presidency than they will under a Trump presidency.)

(FYI: Some church members in my area are meeting for prayer on the night before the election not to pray that the Republicans will win or that the Democrats will win but to pray for God’s will to be done.)

Here is a link to Mek’s exceptionally long but excellent and important article:

https://rairfoundation.com/harris-endorsed-muslim-leaders-best-candidate-islamize-america/

Here are some recent articles that seem to indicate that the end of the age is near:

One, on Oct. 17, 2024, the Times of Israel reported that Israel’s Foreign Minister, Israel Katz, confirmed that Israeli troops have killed Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar. Katz said, “This is a great military and moral achievement for Israel and a victory for the entire free world against the evil axis of radical Islam led by Iran.”

(More: It was reported that Sinwar was killed by tank fire in Rafah on Oct. 16, 2024, and Israeli troops found his body on a pile of rubble in a destroyed building when they inspected the scene on Oct. 17th. Troops waited a day before inspecting the scene while specialists made sure the building wasn’t booby-trapped. Officials confirmed Sinwar’s death by matching his teeth to his dental records. They are running DNA and other tests to confirm it. No hostages were found, but a negotiator for Hamas said the hostages will not be released until Israel stops attacking Gaza and withdraws its forces.)

(More: Israel’s Defense Min. turned to Scripture where God said, “You will pursue your enemies, and they will fall before you;” see Lev. 26:7. Later, he said Sinwar didn’t die as a commander. Sinwar died beaten, persecuted, and on the run.)

(More: Israel National News reported that Sinwar died wounded and alone.)

(More: Netanyahu said this is the beginning of the end of Hamas. He urged those holding Israelis captive in Gaza to lay down their weapons and return the hostages. He promised that those who do that will be allowed to go out and live.)

(More: Pres. Biden said this is a good day for Israel, and for the United States, and for the rest of the world.)

(More: Vice Pres. Harris said justice has been served, and the United States and the entire world are better off as a result.)

(FYI: Yahya Sinwar had a brother named Mohammed Sinwar, and there is speculation that Mohammed Sinwar is the heir apparent to Yahya.)

(My opinion: When Sinwar ordered the invasion of Israel, he had no idea that he would die (right arm blown off below his elbow and then shot in the head) slightly more than a year later. A renowned leader – or anyone else – mortally wounded, suffering, knowing that he will likely die, dying alone and surrounded by rubble like Sinwar is a sad picture, but dying without Jesus as one’s Saviour is worse. Yes, he was evil, perhaps demon-possessed, but his eternal suffering will be worse.)

(My opinion: Biden, Harris, and many world leaders pressured Israel to not attack Rafah. Sinwar was spotted – but not identified – walking the streets of Rafah and entering the building where he was killed. Several world leaders are now saying Sinwar’s death is good for the world and the Palestinians. But if Netanyahu had yielded to the pressure from Biden, Harris, and those world leaders, Sinwar would probably still be alive, crushing dissent in Gaza, beating and killing Palestinians, stealing their humanitarian aid, brainwashing their children, etc.)

(More: On Oct. 17, 2024, Israel said it will keep Sinwar’s body at a secret location to be used as a bargaining chip in a hostage deal.)

(My opinion: The U.S., which can’t seem to win a war, needs to learn from Israel who can’t lose a war because Jehovah is helping them.)

Two, concerning wars and rumors of wars: on Oct. 17, 2024, U.S. long-range B52 stealth bombers struck 5 Houthi underground bunkers and weapons storage locations in Yemen. The U.S. has not commented on how much damage was done but said it is not likely that anyone was killed.

Three, concerning a new world currency and a cashless society: at the upcoming BRICS summit on Oct. 22-24, 2024, Russia is planning to ask the BRICS nations (9 member nations and 15 other nations) to collaborate with it to overhaul the global financial system and end the dominance of the U.S. dollar.

Their new system would use blockchain technology to store and transfer digital tokens backed by national currencies.

Digital money requires a digital I.D. that can be tracked.

Four, concerning the upcoming election: on Oct. 16, 2024, Michael Snyder said if Trump wins, then Kamala Harris will oversee the certification of his win.

Five, concerning anti-Semitism and all nations being against Israel at the end of the age: prophecy expert Amir Tsarfati wrote:

• In a surprise to no one, the United Nations is actively working against Israel again in a war zone.
• In Gaza, it was in the guise of UNRWA, a “humanitarian” branch of the U.N., which was forced to admit that some of its members helped Hamas during and after the October 7 massacre.
• Now, in Lebanon, it’s the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) who are actively helping Hezbollah by allowing themselves to serve as human shields.

(More: On Oct. 20, 2024, a former U.N. peacekeeper who served in the United Nations Truce Supervision Organization (UNSTO) said UNIFIL is “totally subject to Hezbollah.”

(More: On Oct. 21, 2024, Israel released footage of Sinwar’s bunker in Khan Younis. Sinwar’s kitchen was abundantly stocked with provisions bearing the United Nations Relief Works Agency (UNRWA) logo.)

Six, concerning the Biden administration’s relationship with Israel: on Oct. 18, 2024, an Iranian-linked Telegram channel in the Middle East posted 2 classified documents outlining Israel’s preparations for a potential strike on Iran.

According to the Iranian-linked Telegram channel, it received the classified documents from U.S. intelligence sources. U.S. intelligence officials did not deny that the documents are authentic. This is just the latest of several instances of U.S. officials leaking information to Iran.

(More: On Oct. 20, 2024, House Speaker Mike Johnson confirmed that the U.S. is now investigating the leak, so the story is true, but experience shows that the U.S. investigating itself never accomplishes very much.)

(Question: The goal of Islam is to ultimately transform the world – including the U.S. – into a global Islamic caliphate. So why is the Biden-Harris administration releasing billions of dollars to Iran, demanding that Israel not attack Iran’s oil wells and nuclear facilities, and leaking classified information on Israel’s preparations for an attack on Iran to the Iranians?)

(Question: Iran recently tried to assassinate Israeli Prime Min. Netanyahu; the U.S. claims that Israel is our most important ally in the Middle East; the U.S. knows that Iran is funding and arming terrorists – Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis – so why is the U.S. leaking classified information to Iran?)

(Question: If the U.S. is going to leak classified information to Iran, how can Israel or any other nation on earth trust the U.S.?)

(More: On Oct. 22, 2024, a senior Pentagon source said an Iranian American working in the office of the U.S. Sec. of Defense leaked the classified information. The employee has been accused of leaking information to Iran in the past, but another Pentagon source said the employee is not a person of interest at this time.)

Seven, concerning anti-Semitism in the U.S. and America becoming a curse to Israel: the Biden administration has threatened to embargo arms shipments to Israel in 30 days if Israel doesn’t let the U.N. deliver more humanitarian aid to the Palestinians.

Tsarfati speculated that Israel’s conversation with the U.S. went something like this:

Israel: “You realize that Hamas steals all the humanitarian aid, then sells the little they don’t use themselves to the people.”

• Washington: “Not our problem.”

Israel: “The only reason people are at risk is that Hamas uses their own people as human shields.”

• Washington: “Not our problem.”

Israel: “Besides, there shouldn’t be any civilians there anyway. We’ve warned them over and over to get out of there because we have to come in to reach Hamas.”

• Washington: “Interesting. Not our problem.”

Israel does not have enough weapons (and Israel can’t produce enough weapons fast enough) for an all-out war with Hezbollah and Iran. Israel cannot risk getting into an all-out war with a U.S. arms embargo going on. The U.N., U.S., E.U., and others seem to be on the side of Israel’s enemies.

(My opinion: Israel is being forced to rely on God, and that is enough.)

(More: Hamas terrorists murdered 46 Americans and took 12 as hostages on Oct. 7, 2023. Since that time, the Biden administration has given more than $1 billion in aid to the Palestinians who support what the terrorists did.)

(More: On Oct. 21, 2024, it was reported that a Wall Street Journal says Sinwar told Hamas negotiators outside Gaza to reject a hostage deal because the Biden-Harris administration was beginning to turn on Israel.)

Eight, concerning an increase in the frequency and intensity of natural disasters at the end of the age (and the sea and waves roaring; Luke 21:25): while hurricane Milton was battering Florida on Oct. 9, 2024, 15 tornadoes (the most one-day total in recorded history) struck.

This was more than double the old record of 7.

(More: On Oct. 21, 2024, it was reported that Helene and Milton were 2 of the most destructive hurricanes in history, and each one caused more than $50 billion worth of damage. If it is true, the damage is historic. The Florida citrus crop has been severely impacted.)

Nine, concerning the Battle of Gog and Magog (Russia, Turkey, Iran, and others invading Israel in the latter years and latter days): Israel believes a suicide bomber accidentally blew himself up near Tel Aviv on Aug. 18, 2024. An investigation of the bomber and the incident found that the bomber was a member of a Hamas group in Israel that is funded and directed by Turkey. The group was operating in Israel with Turkish President Erdogan’s blessings, and several members of the group have been arrested.

(More: On Oct. 17, 2024, Russia warned Israel to not even consider an attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities.)

(More: On Oct. 17, 2024, in reference to Sinwar’s death, Iran said its proxies will continue to fight Israel.)

Ten, concerning the desire of religious Jews to rebuild the Temple: on Oct. 18, 2024, it was reported that Jewish priests dressed in Biblically mandated clothing recently ascended the Temple Mount, prayed, and recited the priestly blessing over Jewish visitors there.

Here is a link to the article:

https://israel365news.com/397180/full-dress-kohen-sighted-on-temple-mount/

(More: On Oct. 20, 2024, a replica of the Ark of the Covenant made to Torah specifications with acacia wood overlaid with pure gold was displayed at the King David Hotel in Jerusalem. It took 17 volunteers from several countries three-and-a-half years to build the replica ark. The exterior pictures Moses’ prophecy at the burning bush, the parting of the Red Sea, the clouds and pillar of fire that protected and guided the Jews in the desert, and the giving of the Ten Commandments at Mount Sinai.)

Here is a link to the article with pictures and more details:

https://worldisraelnews.com/with-eyes-on-winning-war-building-third-jewish-temple-ark-replica-shown-in-jerusalem/

Eleven, concerning a departing from the faith at the end of the age: on Oct. 18, 2024, when Kamala Harris started promoting abortion at an indoor campaign rally in Wisconsin, 2 Christian students interrupted her by shouting, “Christ is King” and “Jesus is Lord.” One of the students held up a cross that he was wearing around his neck.

Harris responded, “You guys are at the wrong rally. No, I think you meant to go to the smaller one down the street.” The students were heckled, mocked, and escorted out of the building.

Twelve, concerning the existence of believers at the end of the age: on Oct. 20, 2024, it was reported that J.D Vance was recently holding a campaign rally in Wisconsin, and he was interrupted by an attendee who shouted, “Jesus is King.”

Vance responded, “That’s right. Jesus is King.”

When asked about it, Vance said he was met with applause.

Thirteen, concerning potential corruption in the upcoming presidential election: on Oct. 17, 2024, it was reported that there are fewer than 8 million voting-age people in Michigan (a vital battleground state) but about 8.4 million people are registered to vote.

The Republican National Committee is suing the Democratic Sec. of State for refusing to clean up the list as required by state law.

(More: On Oct. 21, 2024, it was reported that 31,000 mail-in ballots have been requested at ineligible addresses in Wisconsin. According to the report, this is happening in many states, but it is worse in swing states. This appears to be a coordinated effort to cast thousands of votes in the name of people who are deceased, have permanently left the state, etc. The question is, who is doing it?)

(More: On Oct. 21, 2024, it was reported that a non-partisan election integrity group has filed 9 federal lawsuits to try to secure honest elections.)

(More: On Oct. 23, 2024, it was reported that a Democrat operative in Montana has been videoed by a surveillance camera tampering with an election ballot drop box. The video has been turned over to county law enforcement officials.)

Fourteen, concerning wars and rumors of wars: on Oct. 20, 2024, Gateway Pundit reported that Zelensky told the West to admit Ukraine into NATO immediately or Ukraine will build a nuclear weapon for use against Russia. It was reported that Ukraine voluntarily gave up its nuclear weapons in the 1990s.

According to the article, many people don’t believe Ukraine can build a nuclear weapon in a matter of weeks, but they believe Zelensky is trying to scare NATO into doing more to defend Ukraine against Russia.

Fifteen, concerning world government and a borderless world: on Oct. 21, 2024, it was reported that a caravan of about 2,000 immigrants is headed to the U.S. border to get across before Trump is elected.

Sixteen, concerning world government: on Oct. 23, 2024, Vladimir Putin told the BRICS Summit an irreversible multipolar world order is being formed.

(My opinion: This isn’t the prophesied New World Order, but it may be a big step in that direction. Multipolar indicates several groups of nations, and I am expecting 10 to emerge at the end of the age.)

Seventeen, concerning a new world currency: several nations are in the process of trying to dethrone the dollar right now as I am writing this.

The threat is so great, former Pres. Trump said in September:

• We will keep the U.S. dollar as the world’s reserve currency, and it is currently under major siege; many countries are leaving the dollar.
• They’re not gonna leave the dollar with me.
• I’ll say, “You leave the dollar, you’re not doing business with the United States because we’re gonna put 100% tariffs on your goods.”

My opinion: Time will tell, but we know that there will be a one-world trackable currency during the Tribulation Period.)

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

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.
