On Aug. 25, 2024, Michael Snyder (endoftheamericandream.com) posted the following:

• One day in the not-too-distant future, someone in the Middle East is going to push things too far, and it will set off a tsunami of destruction that will shock the entire planet. Israel is armed to the teeth, and Israel’s enemies are armed to the teeth. An all-out war in the Middle East should not be an option for anyone, but we are now dangerously close to such a conflict.

I know that Snyder was writing about a war between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon, and I totally agree with him, but as I was thinking about it, I thought we are dangerously close to:

• Iran getting nuclear weapons.
• The U.S. losing its sovereignty.
• A worthless peace treaty that divides the Promised Land.
• A global economic collapse.
• Russia using nuclear weapons.
• Another fake pandemic.
• A global currency and the Mark of the Beast.

It gives me the impression that we are living in perilous times (II Tim. 3:1).

Here are recent reports on why I believe the end of the age is close.

One, concerning the ongoing threat of war between Iran’s proxy Hezbollah in Lebanon and Israel: on Aug. 28, 2024, the UN Security Council met to extend UNIFIL’s mandate in southern Lebanon for another year.

At the meeting, Israel’s Ambassador to the UN, Danny Danon, presented evidence that Hezbollah is launching rockets into Israel from locations next to UN bases in Lebanon.

Danon had a message for the UN:

• The UN is allowing Hezbollah to use UN soldiers as human shields.
• The UN has 10,000 peacekeeping soldiers from 40 nations in Lebanon at a cost of more than half a billion dollars a year. (My note: They have been there since 2006, they are supposed to disarm all armed groups, they haven’t done it, and they haven’t done anything to bring peace.)

Danon had a message for Lebanon’s Ambassador:

• You and your government have a choice to make. Confront Hezbollah or watch as your country is dragged into chaos and destruction. The time for action is now. Do not let Hezbollah and Iran dictate your future. If you fail to act, the devastation that follows will be on your hands.

Danon had a message for Hezbollah:

• Withdraw now, or you will bear responsibility for the pains and ruins of Lebanon. The choice is yours!

(More: The U.N. Security Council passed a resolution with a demand that Israel and Hezbollah halt all hostilities. They warned that further escalation “carries the high risk of leading to a widespread conflict.”)

(More: On Aug. 30, 2024, Hezbollah said it will freeze its plans to attack Israel until further notice.)

Two, concerning a normalization agreement between Israel and Saudi Arabia (which some think will lead to a covenant of peace in the Middle East): on Aug. 28, 2024, Worthy News reported that “The administration of outgoing U.S. President Joe Biden still believes it can broker a normalization agreement between Israel and Saudi Arabia before the November U.S. presidential election.”

Three, concerning the destruction of Damascus, Syria, in one night: on Aug. 31, 2024, it was reported that several Israeli security experts said Israel has not been able to decrease the flow of Iranian weapons to Hezbollah through Syria, so Israel may have to expand its attacks on Syria.

Four, concerning tours on the Temple Mount and Jews worshiping there: on Aug. 26, 2024, Israel’s Heritage Ministry announced plans to launch guided tours of the Temple Mount.

On Aug. 28, 2024, Jordan asked the UN Security Council and global community to immediately halt Israel’s actions that it says are illegal and disruptive to the historical and legal status quo at Jerusalem’s sacred sites.

Five, concerning the effort to destroy Israel due to increased terrorist attacks in Judea and Samaria (Israel): on Sept. 3, 2024, Israel’s security forces announced that they will begin treating Judea and Samaria as a combat zone.

Six, concerning wars and rumors of wars and Russia’s threat to use nuclear weapons: on Aug. 28, 2024, it was reported that:

• In response to Ukraine’s advancement into Kursk (Russian territory), Vladimir Putin is deploying another 30,000 troops to the front line, and he is bringing in troops, tanks, and trucks from Belarus.
• Ukraine warned Belarus that “all troop concentrations, military facilities, and supply routes in Belarus will become legitimate targets for the Armed Forces of Ukraine.”
• North Korea has greatly increased its shipments of mobile rocket launchers, missiles, and other weapons to Russia.

(More: On Sept. 1, 2024, Russia’s foreign minister said Russia will amend its doctrine on the use of nuclear weapons in response to what it regards as Western escalation in the war in Ukraine.)

Seven, concerning the decline of America: on Aug. 23, 2024, it was reported that:

• Experts on the US Congressional Commission on the National Defense Strategy released a 312-page assessment in late July, warning that the US military lacks both the capabilities and the capacity required to be confident it can deter and prevail in combat.
• According to the report, in a hypothetical future conflict with China, the latter (China) would likely be aided, at least economically and possibly also militarily, by the likes of Russia, Iran, or North Korea. This would make the odds of a US victory increasingly slim, military experts predicted.
• Unclassified public wargames suggest that, in a conflict with China, the United States would largely exhaust its munitions inventories in as few as three to four weeks, with some important munitions (e.g., anti-ship missiles) lasting only a few days.

According to the article, former Pres. Trump is claiming that the U.S. is running out of weapons and ammunition because our government is sending our stockpiles to Ukraine and not replacing them (and it is based on a congressional report).

Eight, concerning the decline of America: on Aug. 30, 2024, more than 30,000 Shiite Muslims (Muslims that believe what the terrorists Mullahs in Iran believe) marched through the streets of Dearborn, Michigan, waving Muslim flags (on U.S. soil), shaking their fists and protesting the death of Iranian Pres. Raisi (the butcher of Tehran).

Shiite Muslims call Israel the Little Satan, and they call America the Great Satan.

They force people to convert to their brand of Islam, and the report said Michigan officials were seemingly complicit with what these demonstrators were doing.

(More: On Aug. 29, 2024, it was reported that the Deputy Federal Chairman of the German Police Union (DPolG) said he can no longer remain silent, Germany’s open-border policies have unleashed a wave of Islamic violence on Germany, the people are no longer safe, and Germany’s government officials are whitewashing the problem.)

Nine, concerning wickedness at the end of the age: on Aug. 27, 2024, Israel freed an Oct. 7, 2023 hostage who was being held in a booby-trapped tunnel in Gaza.

The hostage told Israeli officials he was shot in the leg when he was captured, he was taken to Gaza, and the bullet was removed without him receiving a painkiller.

He also said he was next to one of the other hostages when he died, probably because they denied him essential medicine.

Ten, concerning pestilences: a study in the EU found that deaths among children 12-15 years old have increased by 335% since Covid vaccinations were authorized in week 21 of 2021.

Eleven, concerning world government and the loss of our freedoms: on Sept. 1, 2024, Emmitt Barry, Worthy News Correspondent, wrote that over the past month, there has been a notable assault on free speech, evidenced by,

• The detention of Telegram’s head in France,
• The banning of the platform X in Brazil,
• Heavy fines imposed in Germany, and
• Revelations of active censorship by the Biden administration on Facebook and Instagram.

(My opinion: We are dangerously close to the destruction of democracy in America, and the current administration, FBI, CIA, and others are doing everything they can to stop the MAGA movement. If they succeed, there may never be another fair election in America. For whatever it is worth, there is widespread agreement that the assassination attempt on former Pres. Trump looks suspicious.)

(More: On Sept. 1, 2024, there was a report (Dave Hodges, Hal Turner) that federal troops are being deployed to New York City because former Pres. Trump will be sentenced to prison, arrested, and jailed on Sept. 18, 2024. This appears to be an attempt to keep him from campaigning and cause him to lose the election. The arrest and prosecution of J6 protestors at the capital was a clear warning to those who believe the election was stolen.

(My opinion: I don’t know if Trump will be jailed or not, but if he is, I am wondering if he will have Secret Service protection in jail. The assassination attempt looks suspicious as well as the death of Jeffrey Epstein while he was in prison. Pray that all of this is wrong and nothing happens.)

Twelve, concerning the decline of America and a global economic collapse: on Aug. 31, 2024, it was reported that:

• Approximately 126 nations will attend the BRICS Municipal Conference in Russia in October. All countries have indicated interest in joining the bloc and abandoning the US dollar.
• As nations investigate alternative currencies and economic relationships, the US dollar’s dominance – long regarded as the world’s reserve currency – is at risk, as per the Dinar Chronicles.

(My opinion: It is my understanding that the impact may not be immediate, but it will eventually weaken the already fragile U.S. economy.)

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

Wednesday, Aug. 28, 2024 (Day 327) The two-hundred seventy-second day of the resumed war. Day 114 of the attack on Rafah.

• 2 separate terrorist attacks by Muslims in Israel injured 3 Jews.
• Israel struck several Hezbollah targets in Lebanon.
• The Iran-backed Houthis attacked another ship in the Red Sea (there were no injuries or significant damage).

Saturday, Aug. 31, 2024 (Day 330) The two-hundred seventy-fifth day of the resumed war. Day 117 of the attack on Rafah.

• Israel reported that about 40 rockets were fired from Lebanon into Israel.
• Israel has now killed 26 terrorists and detained more than 30 suspects in the West Bank (in Israel).

Sunday, Sept. 1, 2024 (Day 331) The two-hundred seventy-sixth day of the resumed war. Day 118 of the attack on Rafah.

• It was reported that the bodies of 6 hostages were recovered from a 65-foot-deep tunnel in Rafah a few days earlier, and they had all been recently murdered. Forensic experts said all of them had been shot in the head multiple times, and they were killed about 2 days earlier. Israel has now recovered the bodies of 12 hostages in the last 2 weeks.
• Netanyahu said those who murder hostages don’t want a deal.
• World leaders and others continue to push for a ceasefire and the release of all hostages, but Hamas rejects every offer.
• In a drive-by shooting, Palestinian terrorists shot and killed 3 Israeli police officers in Israel.

Monday, Sept. 2, 2024 (Day 332) The two-hundred seventy-seventh day of the resumed war. Day 119 of the attack on Rafah.

• Hamas released a video of the 6 hostages and their last message to the world before Hamas murdered them.
• Netanyahu vowed that Hamas would pay a heavy price for killing the 6 hostages.
• Biden and Harris will offer a final take it or leave it deal to Hamas today that could be the end of ceasefire negotiations if Hamas rejects it.
• The Iran-backed Houthis attacked 2 more ships in the Red Sea (there were no injuries and only minor damage).

Tuesday, Sept. 3, 2024 (Day 333) The two-hundred seventy-eighth day of the resumed war. Day 120 of the attack on Rafah.

• Israel instructed her diplomats to urge Israel’s partners to act against Hamas and Iran for killing the 6 hostages because murdering them crosses a red line and is a shocking war crime by a murderous terrorist organization.
• Israel killed a Hamas commander and 8 terrorists near a hospital in Gaza City (the commander had been filmed killing a hostage in front of his 2 sons).
• The U.S. Justice Dept. announced the unsealing of terrorism, murder conspiracy, and sanctions-evasion charges against six senior leaders of Hamas.
• It was reported that the Iranians are delivering money and weapons to the West Bank, and Israel’s leaders are preparing for a major terrorist attack in Israel.
• Even though Israel has killed thousands of terrorists in Gaza, Hamas has recruited and deployed about 3,000 new terrorists in northern Gaza.

Wednesday, Sept. 4, 2024 (Day 334) The two-hundred seventy-ninth day of the resumed war. Day 121 of the attack on Rafah.

• Israel’s national min. said he is against a ceasefire agreement with Hamas because he doesn’t believe Israel should negotiate with murderers.

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 Jesus 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.

Unelected officials called globalists, the Global Elite, the Shadow Government, and various other names want to create and run a New World Order.

A New World Order implies the demise of the current world order.

The slogan of many globalists (including the Biden Administration, the UN, and Pope Francis) has been “Build Back Better,” but to build back, the current world order must be destroyed first.

To Build Back Better implies a better world, but globalists are really trying to gain total control of everyone on earth (our religious system, our political system, our economic system; what we buy, what we sell, what we say, what we own, where we live, where we work, who we worship, and more).

Concerning world government: on July 24, 2024, the Activist Post posted an article by Derrick Broze (journalist, author, radio host, and more) titled “The UN Will Sign the Pact of the Future in 60 Days – Here’s Why It Matters.”

Here are just a few things Broze said:

• The Summit of the Future will be voted on at the 79^th UN General Assembly meeting in New York City on Sept. 22-23.
• Member states are expected to declare a planetary emergency as part of the so-called Pact for the Future.
• The Summit of the Future website says the outcome of the Pact for the Future will be “a world – and an international system – that is better prepared to manage the challenges we face now.”
• UN member states are also likely to vote to radically alter the UN itself – what some are calling UN 2.0 – and the very nature of how nation-states make decisions regarding the future of the planet.

Having said this, I thought I would give you my understanding of how this new international system (the last Gentile world government) will develop.

It is my understanding that it will develop in phases or stages (Dan. 7:23-28).

Phase 1: A kingdom will devour the whole earth (probably an altered U.N.).

• The U.N. is not a world government now (I have often called it the United Nothing).
• But many people are working to turn it into a world government.

Phase 2: This world kingdom will be divided into ten regions (probably ten political, economic, or health regions with one leader over each region (It will be a G-10).

• It won’t be ten regions in a revived kingdom of Iron (the EU).
• It will be ten regions in the kingdom of Iron plus Clay (the EU plus others; ten regions in the world, not ten regions in the EU).

Phase 3: Each region will appoint a leader or king, giving us ten leaders or ten kings (one leader for each of the ten regions).

Phase 4: After the ten Kings or ten regions appear, an eleventh leader (the Antichrist) will rise to power (out of the European region, according to Daniel 9:26).

• This eleventh king will be diverse from the ten (Dan. 9:24).
• He won’t be one of the ten.
• He will be the eleventh (the Antichrist).

Phase 5: The Antichrist will subdue three kings (forcefully take over three of the ten regions; Dan. 7:24).

Phase 6: The heads of the other seven regions will agree to give their power and authority to the Antichrist (Rev. 17:12-13).

• According to the Bible, the Antichrist will rise to power as a highly respected man of peace, but after he is given control of the entire world, he will transform his government into a Satanic world government (Dan. 9:26:27; Rev. 6:2; 17:11).

Phase 7: The Antichrist will blaspheme God and persecute the saints (Jews and those saved after the Rapture; Isa. 45:4; Rev. 12:17) for three and one-half years (Dan. 7:25; Rev. 13:5-7).

Phase 8: His dominion will be taken away from him (Dan. 2:34-35; 7:26; Rev. 19:11-21).

Phase 9: God will establish the Millennial Kingdom.

Phase 10: The Church and Tribulation Saints will reign with Jesus during the Millennium (Rev. 20:6).

The harder people try to set up a world government, the more things seem to go to pot.

Too many people have their own agendas.

Too many are trying to impose their will on everyone else.

Anyway, what happens at the Summit of the Future at the 79^th UN General Assembly meeting in New York City on Sept. 22-23 could be incredibly significant.

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

One, concerning all nations, including the U.S., turning against Israel at the end of the age: God can bring good out of every crisis, and here is how He is doing it:

• God is teaching the Jews to trust Him, and they are becoming more spiritual.
• God is causing more Jews to immigrate to Israel.
• When the U.S. started withholding heavy bombs and slowing delivery of smaller bombs, God inspired Israel to build the facilities it needs to develop and produce the bombs it must have rather than to depend on other nations.
• God has inspired Israel to greatly expand its inventory of weapons (increase its inventory of tanks, tank ammunition, ships, jets, etc.).

(More: On Aug. 25, 2024, it was reported that 600 Jews from foreign nations – 200 from the U.S. and Canada – are expected to relocate to Israel this week.)

(More: On Aug. 27, 2024, it was reported that 30,000 Jews have immigrated to Israel in the 11 months since the Oct. 7 Hamas attack.)

(FYI: God made an everlasting covenant to give all the Promised Land to Abraham and his descendants through Isaac and Jacob forever; Gen. 17:7-8, 18-21; 28:13. God said He would put the disobedient Jews off the land on different occasions, but He would bring them back before the Tribulation period, and they would never be removed again; Gen. 17:7-8, 18-21; 28:13; Isa. 11:11-12; 54:7-8; 66:7-10; Ezek. 36:24-28; 37:21-22; Amos 9:14-15. The return of the Jews to Israel is God’s doing. Israel must build and expand settlements to provide housing, schools, utilities, water, medical and shopping facilities for them, etc. Those that oppose the building and expansion of settlements are opposing what God is doing, and no weapon formed against Israel shall prosper because God’s promises must be fulfilled; Isa. 54:17. And some of this opposition in the West is due in part to preachers not understanding or talking about what God is doing.)

Two, concerning America’s attitude toward Israel: on Aug. 22, 2024, U.S. Vice-Pres. Kamala Harris told the Democratic National Convention (DNC):

• Let me be clear: I will always stand up for Israel’s right to defend itself, and I will always ensure Israel has the ability to defend itself.
• At the same time, what has happened in Gaza over the past 10 months is devastating. So many innocent lives lost. Desperate, hungry people fleeing for safety over and over again. The scale of suffering is heartbreaking.
• We (Biden and her) are working to end this war, such that Israel is secure, the hostages are released, the suffering in Gaza ends, and the Palestinian people can realize their right to dignity, security, freedom, and self-determination.

Richard Goldberg, a senior adviser at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, understood what Harris said this way:

• Harris just made clear she is for Israel’s defense from terrorists but opposes its offense against terrorists.

She will support Israel when the Jews are defending their nation, but she will not support the Jews when they go on offense against their enemies.

(On Aug. 23, 2024, it was reported that Abraham Foxman, longtime leader of the Anti-Defamation League, who now serves as director emeritus, said, “After 50 years fighting anti-Semitism in America, I could not have imagined a time Jews would have to meet in secret locations in Chicago at DNC.”)

Three, concerning corruption in Washington and the upcoming election: on Aug. 23, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. dropped out of the 2024 presidential race and endorsed former pres. Donald Trump.

He said three things caused him to leave the Democratic Party and run as an independent, and now to support Pres. Trump: the Democrat’s attack on free speech, their support for the war in Ukraine, and their attack on our children.

Kennedy said the Democratic Party has abandoned Democracy and the American values his father and uncle lived and died for.

He said the Democratic Party he described has abandoned its roots as the party of the working class, government transparency, and environmental stewardship.

He called Democrats the party of war, censorship, corruption, big Pharma, big tech, and big money.

Four, concerning wars and rumors of wars: on Aug. 18, 2024, Global Research posted an article by Peter Koenig titled, “A NATO invasion of nuclear Russia is currently underway, and the world is unaware that it is in World War III.”

Koenig asked, “Has President Putin’s Patience Reached Its Limits?”

He said, “Step by step, Washington and its NATO partners have been crossing one red line after the other.”

• First, NATO weapons in Ukraine.
• Then NATO troops in Ukraine.
• Then F-16 fighter jets in Ukraine.
• Then NATO soldiers commanding the sophisticated weaponry supplied by the West.
• Then NATO troops on Russian territories; then NATO drones and aircraft attacking Russian targets on Russian territory – and finally NATO troops attempting to take over an entire Russian district, taking Russian prisoners, killing Russians.

Five, concerning wars and rumors of wars: on Aug. 23, 2024, Germany said they have spotted drones (that they believe are Russian surveillance drones) repeatedly flying in a no-fly area over key nuclear plants in Germany.

Six, concerning wars and rumors of wars: on Aug. 24, 2024, Russia accused Ukraine of attempting to attack a Russian nuclear power plant with a drone.

Seven, concerning wars and rumors of wars: on Aug. 23, 2024, Israeli intelligence learned that Hezbollah was preparing to launch a large number of rockets and missiles at Israel.

Israel struck first with about 100 jets attacking thousands of Hezbollah rocket launchers (many in civilian neighborhoods).

Prime Min. Netanyahu said, “What happened today is not the end of the story.”

On Aug. 25, 2024, Hezbollah fired about 320 rockets and suicide drones at Israel, but Israel destroyed most of them.

Hezbollah called this the first phase of its response to Israel for assassinating one of its top leaders.

(My opinion: It makes me wonder how many strikes Israel needs and how many phases Hezbollah needs before we call this an all-out war.)

(More: In the past, Hezbollah said they will stop attacking Israel when there is a ceasefire in Gaza, but on Aug. 25. 2024, following Israel’s acceptance of the latest ceasefire proposal, Hamas rejected it.)

(More: On Aug. 27, 2024, an Israeli military official said Hamas is in shock over how many planes Israel used and how many targets they hit in a brief period.)

Eight, concerning wars and rumors of wars, Iran’s effort to destroy Israel, and the failure of the UN: on Aug. 25, 2024, Danny Danon, Israel’s ambassador to the UN, sent a letter to the UN Security Council (UNSC) that said in part:

• The State of Lebanon and the Hezbollah terrorist organization, which is operating under the guidance of Iran, bear responsibility for the deterioration of the security situation on the northern front.
• Since the day after the October 7 massacre, Hezbollah has launched over 7,500 rockets and hundreds of explosive UAVS at Israel, resulting in extensive damage and the ongoing evacuation of over 60,000 civilians from northern Israel.
• These actions have been carried out as part of a wider strategy by the Iranian axis aimed at the destruction of Israel through attacks from multiple fronts.
• The Hezbollah attack against Israel planned for this morning unequivocally demonstrates the presence of illegal weapons in southern Lebanon in flagrant violation of UNSCR 1701 (2006), and serves as a reminder of the threats Israelis have been facing on a daily basis for the past 11 months.
• This situation highlights the urgent need to demilitarize the area south of the Litani River and achieve the disarmament of Hezbollah and other armed militias operating in southern Lebanon.
• I call upon the Security Council members to condemn in the strongest terms the ongoing hostilities conducted by Hezbollah and its Iranian patron and their relentless attempts to destabilize the region.

(My opinion: U.S. contributions to the UN are a waste of money.)

Nine, concerning lying and deceit in the White House and FBI: on Aug. 24, 2024, Meta (Facebook) CEO Mark Zuckerberg triggered a firestorm by sending a letter to the U.S. House of Representatives Judiciary Committee admitting that he caved to pressure from the Biden-Harris administration and censored U.S. citizens’ posts about Covid-19.

Zuckerberg also acknowledged that he caved to pressure from the FBI and made information on the Hunter Biden laptop story harder to find during the 2020 presidential election (the FBI falsely claimed that the laptop story was Russian disinformation).

(More: On the same day that Zuckerberg sent his letter to the Judiciary Committee, Telegram’s CEO Pavel Durov was arrested in France for not censoring unapproved speech.)

(My opinion: Biden, Harris, and the FBI deliberately lying to U.S. citizens and censoring them for trying to get the truth out is a real threat to democracy. Americans desperately need to drain the swamp on election day.)

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

• Israel’s Foreign Minister urged Netanyahu’s government to consider the temporary evacuation of civilians in Palestinian camps in Israel while troops deal with terrorists in those places.
• Hundreds of Israeli troops conducted counterterrorist operations in several Palestinian locations on the West Bank in Israel (9 gunmen were killed, several wanted terrorists were arrested, bombs were detonated, and weapons were seized).

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 Jesus 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.
