On July 30, 2024, Michael Snyder (author; speaker; publisher of The Economic Collapse Blog) wrote:

• We live at a time when the entire world is going crazy, and I am entirely convinced that it won’t be too long before the war in the Middle East takes an apocalyptic turn. Even CNN is admitting that we are dangerously close to witnessing an all-out war between Israel and Hezbollah, and in such a war, both sides would not hold anything back (Daymond-bolded words for emphasis).

On Aug. 3, 2024, Breitbart reported that:

• “Holy wrath” is coming against Israel, the furious head of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), Major General Hossein Salami.

Why are they saying this?

My article last week said:

• On July 28, 2024, Turkish Pres. Erdoğan appeared to threaten to invade Israel in support of the Palestinians and to put an end to the nearly 10-month-old war Israel is fighting against Hamas in Gaza.
• On July 30, 2024, Israeli jets conducted a retaliation strike in Beirut, Lebanon, and killed the Hezbollah leader (Fuad Shukr) responsible for firing a missile at the Golan Heights that killed 12 children on a soccer field.
• On July 31, 2024, Israel assassinated Ismail Haniyeh in the capital of Iran. Haniyeh was a former prime minister of the PA, and he was chairman of the Hamas politburo. Iran and Hamas promised to avenge his death.

Since writing the above, I have seen the following articles:

• On July 31, 2024, there were unconfirmed reports that Israel assassinated a top figure in Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps in Damascus.
• On July 31, 2024, a Pentagon official said we have urgently mobilized 12 warships in the Middle East following the assassination of Ismail Haniyeh and the bombing of Beirut. The alert level is at its maximum, and we are ready. (Note: These warships are carrying many planes, bombs, missiles, and 4,000 U.S. marines and sailors.)

During a 2-day period, Israel assassinated 3 high-powered terrorist leaders in Lebanon, Iran, and Syria, and Iran is hopping mad (an expression that means jumping up and down with rage; on the warpath; fit to be tied).

Some of my friends might say Iran’s leaders are having a hissy fit (an angry outburst; a temper tantrum).

Following the death of Ismail Haniyeh (the political leader of the Hamas terrorists that raped Jewish women, killed Jewish children, kidnapped Jewish hostages, etc.), Ayatollah Ali Khamenei (Iran’s Supreme Commander) ordered his forces to launch a direct attack against Israel.

Khamenei told the Iranians:

• The criminal, terrorist Zionist regime (Israel) martyred our dear guest in our territory and has caused our grief, but it has also prepared the ground for a severe punishment, and we consider it our duty to seek revenge for his blood as he was martyred in the territory of the Islamic Republic of Iran.

What happens next?

I do not know, but Israel is on high alert, and it has sent more tanks, troops, and weapons to its border with Lebanon.

One misstep by anyone could cause this conflict to explode, and several major end-of-the-age prophecies could be fulfilled in a matter of days.

Time will tell.

Here is a daily update on the possibility of war:

• On Aug. 1, 2024, Hezbollah Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah said Israel must expect rage and revenge on all the fronts supporting Gaza … Israelis will weep terribly in the days ahead.
• On Aug. 1, 2024, according to Ynet News, Israel transferred a message to Iran’s main proxy, Hezbollah, through Western and regional officials, stressing that the IDF was only targeting military targets and advising Hezbollah to do the same. A massive attack on civilians would mean all-out war, the Israeli officials emphasized.
• On Aug. 2, 2024, the Jerusalem Post reported that Western Intelligence has evidence that Iran plans to attack on Tisha B’Av – a Jewish holiday of fasting and mourning over the first and second destruction of the Temple – Aug. 12-13, 2024, this year.
• On Aug. 2, 2024, it was reported that Hezbollah is in the process of moving its command center out of Beirut.
• On Aug. 2, 2024, following warnings from Greek intelligence officials, Greece went on high alert, fearing an attack on Israeli targets in Greece.
• On Aug. 3, 2024, Iran said it expects Hezbollah in Lebanon to hit deeper inside Israel and to no longer be confined to military targets after Israel killed the Hezbollah commander.
• On Aug. 4, 2024, Iran warned Arab-Muslim countries that if they attempt to intervene in their upcoming attack against Israel, they will also be attacked.
• On Aug. 4, 2024, Israel’s military was authorized to launch a pre-emptive strike on Iran if Israeli intelligence has airtight evidence that Iran is about to attack Israel.
• On Aug. 4, 2024, an Iranian ayatollah called for a bloody attack on the United States.
• On Aug. 5, 2024, Iran rejected the call of world leaders to use restraint and said they still intend to attack Israel, even if it means all-out war.
• On Aug. 5, 2024, Saudi Arabia and Jordan notified Iran that they will act against any missiles or drones passing through their air space.
• On Aug. 6, 2024, Pakistan said it is planning to supply Iran with sophisticated missiles.

Here are some recent events that seem to indicate that the end of the age is near.

One, concerning wars and rumors of wars: on July 31, 2024, Netanyahu told the nation of Israel:

• In recent days and hours, Israeli military forces have successfully attacked and killed three of the evilest, most deadly, most dangerous terrorists in the world.
• Israel will not bow to those around the world demanding the Jewish state surrender to the forces of evil and agree to premature ceasefires.
• Israel will continue to fight and win until victory is achieved and all of Israel’s hostages are returned home.
• Whoever butchers our children will pay the price.

Two, concerning all nations turning against Israel at the end of the age and the decline of America: on Aug. 2, 2024, Daily Wire reported that President Joe Biden threatened to cut U.S. support for Israel in a private call (that included Kamala Harris) with Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu this week after Israel killed multiple top terrorists in the region (terrorists who have been killing Jews).

According to the report, the news website Axios said Biden and his aides were furious that Israel killed Shukr and Haniyeh, and Biden (with Harris on the phone) threatened to cut support for Israel if they keep killing terrorist leaders.

(My opinion: It is incredible that Biden and Harris threatened to cut off support for Israel because the U.S. had a $5 million bounty on Shukr’s head for the 1983 bombing that killed 241 U.S. Marines, and Haniyeh was a recognized terrorist. Why would they be furious with Israel for killing someone that killed 241 U.S. Marines?)

(More: On Aug. 2, 2024, the Daily Mail reported that the UK has implemented a secret arms embargo on Israel while they determine if Israel committed war crimes when it invaded Gaza.)

Three, concerning antisemitism and corruption in the UN: on Aug. 3, 2024, it was reported that Israel refused to extend visas for a substantial number of UN staff for applying a double standard to Israel (siding with Hamas, doing little to get Hamas to release the hostages, and more).

Four, concerning antisemitism and efforts to destroy Israel at the end of the age: on Aug. 4, 2024, a high-ranking Iranian official said:

• Israel will not see its 80th anniversary as a modern-day country (Israel’s 80th anniversary will be May 14, 2028).

(My speculation: Israel can’t be destroyed, but how much longer will the terminal generation be around?)

Five, concerning the Battle of Gog and Magog (Russia, Iran, and others attacking Israel in the latter days and latter years; Ezek. 38-39): on Aug. 5, 2024, the Secretary of Russia’s Security Council visited Iran and said, “We are ready for full cooperation with Iran on regional issues.”

It was also reported that Russia has begun delivering fighter jets, advanced air defense systems, and radar equipment to Iran.

Six, concerning a borderless world, the New World Order (world government), etc.: almost 3 years ago, Texas and Missouri sued the Biden administration, the U.S. Dept. of Homeland Security Sec. Mayorkas and others in a U.S. District Court in Texas to finish building a section of wall on the U.S. border with Mexico.

They argued that Biden and Mayorkas were violating federal law by stopping construction on a project that had been approved and funded by Congress.

On May 29, 2024, the judge ruled in favor of Texas and Missouri and gave Biden and Mayorkas 60 days to appeal his decision.

The 60 days to appeal ended on July 29, 2024, without an appeal, and now they are under a court order to finish the project.

Biden and Mayorkas have let purchased supplies rust on the ground, sold some of the materials, spent part of the money on other projects, Biden will be out of office soon, Biden’s vice-president and border czar (Kamala Harris) wants to replace him, and who knows how all this will wind up.

(More: According to a recent Harvard-Harris poll, 56% of Democrats, 82% of Republicans, and 69% of independents believe Harris supports an open border.)

Seven, concerning the destruction of Damascus, Syria, in one night (Isa. 17):

• On Aug. 2, 2024, Israel struck an airport in Syria that was used to store and transport weapons for Hezbollah in Lebanon.
• On Aug. 3, 2024, a dependable reader e-mailed the following to me: Israel warns Hezbollah: IDF will destroy Damascus, target Syrian President Assad if Hezbollah joins war; US warships will support Israel in war. Message relayed via France (source: Ynet)

Eight, concerning the waves and seas roaring at the end of the age (some see this as violent storms in the ocean, and some see it as the sea of humanity rioting, and some think it can be interpreted either way): demonstrations and violence are spreading in many EU nations.

The reason is not always clear, but many say they are demonstrating because of unchecked Islamic immigration, crime, and violence.

(Note: In the days of Noah, God saw that the wickedness of man was great.)

(More: On Aug. 8, 2024, in anticipation of hundreds of anti-immigration protests, the UK deployed about 6,000 officers around the country and put 1,300 specialists on call in London in case there are serious problems.)

Nine, concerning a global economic collapse early in the Tribulation Period (Rev. 6:5-6),

• On Friday, Aug. 2, 2024, the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped more than 600 points.
• On Monday, Aug. 5, 2024, it dropped about 1,034 points.
• On Tuesday, Aug. 6, 2024, it regained about 294 points.
• On Wednesday, Aug. 7, 2024, at the time of this writing, it was down about 134 points.

Concern about an economic slowdown or a recession in the U.S. is growing, and the U.S. economy is so great, it would have a global impact.

I don’t know anything about the stock market, but from what I am reading, it may settle down for a little while, but there is more turbulence on the horizon.

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

Thursday, Aug. 1, 2024 (Day 300): The two-hundred forty-fifth day of the resumed war. Day 87 of the attack on Rafah.

• Several major airlines temporarily canceled flights to Israel for fear that the war is about to spread.
• Hezbollah fired at least 60 rockets at Israel.
• Following 300 days of captivity, Israel’s Pres. Herzog urged world leaders who want peace in Gaza to take action to get the hostages released.

Friday, Aug. 2, 2024 (Day 301): The two-hundred forty-sixth day of the resumed war. Day 88 of the attack on Rafah.

• Israel said it has killed the deputy head of weapons manufacturing for the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ).
• The UN confirmed that Hezbollah is responsible for the death of 12 children on a soccer field in the Golan Heights recently.
• Israel killed more than 30 Hamas terrorists in close-quarter fighting in Rafah.

Saturday, Aug. 3, 2024 (Day 302): The two-hundred forty-seventh day of the resumed war. Day 89 of the attack on Rafah.

• An Israeli jet destroyed a vehicle on the West Bank, killing a Hamas commander and 4 terrorists with him.
• There are unverified rumors that Israel has killed the spokesman for Hamas’s Al-Qassam Brigades (a military group) in Gaza.

Sunday, Aug. 4, 2024 (Day 303): The two-hundred forty-eighth day of the resumed war. Day 90 of the attack on Rafah.

• Israel found dozens of additional tunnels on Gaza’s border with Egypt. One tunnel was under an Egyptian army post, and it was big enough for vehicles to drive through. It even had railroad tracks that vehicles could drag loaded wagons on. Israel now has more reasons to not return control of the border to Gaza and Egypt.
• Netanyahu said Iran is seeking to surround us and attack us with proxies. We will attack them wherever they are.

Monday, Aug. 5, 2024 (Day 304): The two-hundred forty-ninth day of the resumed war. Day 91 of the attack on Rafah.

• Israel killed Hamas’s economic minister (the man responsible for stealing and controlling Palestinian humanitarian aid, distributing Hamas’s money, etc.).
• Israel assassinated another Hezbollah commander in Lebanon.
• The UNRWA has been investigating 19 employees suspected of being involved in the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas attack on Israel. 2 have been killed, 9 have been fired, and the other 8 are still under investigation.

Tuesday, Aug. 6, 2024 (Day 305): The two-hundred-fiftieth day of the resumed war. Day 92 of the attack on Rafah.

• Israel’s finance minister seized $26 million in tax money that the PA would normally give to the families of jailed terrorists and will give the money to the families of Oct. 7, 2023 hostages.
• Hamas named Yahya Sinwar to replace Ismail Haniyeh.
• Hezbollah attacked Israel with a swarm of drones but said their retaliation for Haniyeh’s death is yet to come.

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.

On Monday, July 22, 2024, Israeli Prime Min Netanyahu arrived in the U.S.:

• To meet with a group of Christian leaders on Tuesday.
• To address a joint session of Congress on Wednesday.
• To meet with Pres. Biden on Thursday.
• And to meet with former Pres. Trump on Friday.

At his Tuesday meeting with a group of Christian leaders, Netanyahu said:

• We have no better friends than you, and I don’t say that lightly or haphazardly. It comes from the heart. It also comes from knowing how deeply you are committed to Israel and how strongly you stand up for Israel, stand up for the truth, stand up for our common heritage and our common values.

A few of the things Christians and Jews have in common about our heritage and values (also called Judeo-Christian roots or values) are:

• Both believe there is just one God, He is Jehovah, and He created us in His image.
• Both believe He gave the Ten Commandments, we need these God-given rules, and we are accountable to Him.
• Both believe we have free will and we sin, but Christians believe a Jew (Jesus) died on the cross to atone for our sins.
• Most Jews deny that Jesus was their Messiah, but a few Jews (called Messianic Jews) believe Jesus was the Messiah, Christians believe Jesus was the Messiah, Christians believe the Church began with Jews, and all Israel will ultimately accept Him.
• Both believe Someone called the King of the Jews (a Messiah) is coming soon to rule on this earth.
• Jews believe Jehovah inspired the Old Testament, Christians believe He inspired the Old and New Testament, and both believe their Scriptures are God’s will for our lives.
• Jews believe they are physical descendants of Abraham, and Christians believe they are spiritual descendants of Abraham by faith.
• Jews believe Jehovah made a covenant with Abraham to establish their nation, the U.S. was established by Christians, and many citizens refer to America as a nation under God.

According to a well-known Jewish author, Dennis Prager,

• Christians and Jews need each other.
• Without the Old Testament, there is no New Testament.
• Virtually every Christian moral principle derives from the Hebrew Bible (Jewish Scriptures).

At his Wednesday address before Congress, Netanyahu said:

• When we stand together, something very simple happens; we win, they lose. I came here to assure you, my friends, of one thing—we will win.
• Many anti-Israel protesters choose to stand with evil. Many stand with Hamas. They stand with rapists. They should be ashamed of themselves.
• Don’t they know that the Land of Israel is where Abraham, Isaac and Jacob prayed, where Isaiah and Jeremiah preached, and where David and Solomon ruled?
• For nearly four thousand years, the land of Israel has been the homeland of the Jewish people. It’s always been our home; it will always be our home.
• Iran’s Ayatollah Khomeini made a commitment to spread the Islamic Revolution worldwide, Khomeini said America is the major barrier to these ambitions, and he called America “the guardian of Western civilization” and “the world’s greatest power.”
• For Iran, Israel is first, America is next. When Israel fights Hamas, we’re fighting Iran. When Israel fights Hezbollah, we’re fighting Iran. When we’re fighting the Houthis, we’re fighting Iran.
• When we act to prevent Iran from achieving a nuclear weapon, we’re protecting you because Israel’s enemies are America’s enemies. Thus, our victory will be your victory.
• I know that America has our back. I thank you for it—all sides of the aisle. America’s military help and intelligence benefits both nations. We help keep American boots off the ground, and your expedited U.S. aid could hasten the end of the war.

At Netanyahu’s Thursday meeting with Pres. Biden and Vice Pres. Harris:

• Biden pushed the point that it is time to nail down a hostage release and ceasefire deal with Hamas.
• Harris described her meeting with Netanyahu as “frank and constructive.”
• Harris said she will not be silent on the suffering of the Palestinians in Gaza.
• Harris pushed the point that a Two-State Solution is the only path that ensures Israel remains a secure Jewish and democratic state and one that ensures Palestinians can finally realize the freedom, security, and prosperity that they rightly deserve.
• Harris’ remarks drew furious Israeli complaints that they could complicate efforts to reach a deal with Hamas to free hostages and end the war in Gaza.

At Netanyahu’s Friday meeting with former Pres. Trump:

• Trump urged Netanyahu to quickly end its war with Hamas. (My opinion: I do not think Trump was urging Netanyahu to make concessions to Hamas or to accept the Two-State Solution. I think Trump was urging Netanyahu to defeat Hamas as fast as he can.)

Netanyahu planned to wait until the end of the Sabbath (Saturday in Israel), but he left the U.S. early to rush back to Israel to deal with a heartbreaking Hezbollah attack on his nation.

(More: On July 27, 2024, Trump blamed a weak and ineffective Biden and Harris for the attack that killed and injured dozens of people.)

Here are some recent events that seem to indicate that the end of the age is near.

One, concerning the tracking of all buying and selling: Ancestry.com was founded in 1996.

It now has more than 22 million people in its AncestryDNA network, plus it has more than 20 billion records on people.

In Dec. 2020, a company called Blackstone (not Blackrock, although there are connections) bought Ancestry.com.

On July 25, 2024, it was reported that Blackstone CEO Steven Schwarzman is a member of the International Business Council of the World Economic Forum (WEF).

This makes him a board member of the WEF and positions him to help fulfill the WEF’s global agenda.

This means the WEF now has access to millions of DNA records and billions of other records that will enable them to identify people if they get control of the world’s healthcare, finances, food consumption, etc.

Two, the coming New World Order will be a godless world government and false religion under the Antichrist and False Prophet, and I believe the Antichrist will come out of the EU (Revived Roman Empire).

On July 26, 2024, the opening ceremony of the Olympics in Paris, France (one of 27 nations in the EU) featured a repulsive godless parody of the Last Supper with gays dressed in drag.

This blasphemous, unbiblical ceremony was broadcast globally (perhaps viewed by more than 3 billion people).

(My opinion: It was not necessary for these transgender people to mock Jesus – or for the Olympic committee to allow it – but they did, and they will regret it for all eternity if they do not repent of their sins and accept Jesus as their Saviour. Jesus left heaven, lived a hard life, allowed Himself to be beaten, stripped naked, and crucified for their sins, and what they did is an affront to an all-powerful God that loves His Son with an unimaginable passion. These people need lots of prayer.)

(Note: Organizers of the Paris Olympics offered a very weak apology for this blasphemous event.)

(More: As of July 29, 2024, Pope Francis has remained silent about it.)

(More: On July 29, 2024, Jill Biden said the opening ceremony was spectacular.)

For Mark Hitchcock’s excellent comments on this, watch a 7 min. video at:

https://grandmageri422.me/2024/07/29/christian-raw-reaction-to-olympic-opening-ceremony-with-mark-hitchcock/

Three, concerning corruption or ineptness in the U.S. Secret Service: it has been reported that agents allowed a man with a rifle to climb a 16-ft. ladder onto a roof with a clear shot at Trump’s speaker’s stand, they let that armed man stay there for about 20 minutes, they let Trump go to the speaker’s stand, and allowed the shooter to shoot for about 16 seconds before they took him out.

It is reasonable to think that heads would roll, but on July 23, 2024, it was reported that the Secret Service suggested that Trump’s campaign should stop holding large campaign rallies.

The Secret Service blamed Trump, but one of his supporters suggested they need to focus on doing their job.

Senator Ron Johnson suggested that Trump’s campaign should hire an independent security expert to oversee security provided by the Secret Service.

(My question: If the Secret Service is so corrupt or inept that Trump’s campaign needs to hire someone to oversee what they are doing, why are they needed?)

Four, 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.”

The entire article can be found at:

https://www.activistpost.com/2024/07/the-un-will-sign-the-pact-of-the-future-in-60-days-heres-why-it-matters.html

Here are just a few things Broze said:

• The Summit of the Future will be voted on at the 79th 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.”
• It is likely to be another piece of the shift toward a world governed by unelected internationalist politicians.
• 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.

There is more, but the end goal appears to be to speed up the development of a world government.

This is just one step in that process, but it is a giant step.

Five, concerning war and rumors of wars: on July 27, 2024, Hezbollah fired an Iranian-made missile from Lebanon that fell in a soccer field in a Druze village on the Golan Heights (now part of Israel).

12 children were killed, about 40 people were injured, and:

• Israel’s Defense Min. said Israel will strike Hezbollah hard.
• Several Israeli politicians called for a fierce response.
• Israel’s opposition leader called for an end to Israel’s abandonment of Jews in northern Israel.
• Netanyahu promised that Israel will not let this pass in silence.

The U.S. said it fears that this incident could turn into an all-out war between Israel and Hezbollah.

Iran has said it will get involved on Hezbollah’s side if Israel launches an all-out war against Hezbollah.

The U.S. and UK have promised to support Israel in an all-out war with Hezbollah.

• On July 28, 2024, Israel’s security cabinet met and gave Netanyahu and Defense Min. Gallant the authority to decide when and how to retaliate against Hezbollah for firing the missile that killed and injured people at the soccer field. Israel struck several sites deep inside Lebanon, and officials said this is not the end of Israel’s retaliation. Hezbollah is on high alert as it awaits more attacks.
• On July 28, 2024, it was reported that first, “Iran has rushed to supply Hezbollah with electromagnetic bombs that can paralyze communications – in Israel – and disable radars as the risk of the border confrontation with Israel turning into a full-scale war grows.” Second, “Iran may seek to mobilize militias in Syria to threaten the Golan in order to create a second front in the event that escalation takes place on the Galilee front.”
• On July 29, 2024, officials at the U.S. embassy in Lebanon warned Americans to leave, and they warned U.S. citizens not to visit relatives there.
• On July 29, 2024, Iran’s new president warned that an Israeli attack on Lebanon will have severe consequences.
• On July 30, 2024, Israeli jets carried out a retaliation strike in Beirut, Lebanon, and killed the Hezbollah leader (Fuad Shukr) responsible for firing a missile at the Golan Heights that killed 12 children on a soccer field. Shukr was a military advisor to Hassan Nasrallah and was involved in the 1983 bombing of the U.S. Marine barracks that killed 241 marines in Lebanon. He was wanted by the U.S. as well as Israel. The U.S. had a $5 million bounty on his head, and several members of Congress thanked Israel for taking him out.
• On July 31, 2024, Israel assassinated Ismail Haniyeh in the capital of Iran. Haniyeh was a former prime minister of the PA, and he was chairman of the Hamas politburo. Iran and Hamas promised to avenge his death. (Note: In 12 hours, Israel assassinated important terrorist leaders in the capital of Lebanon and in the capital of Iran. Haniyeh was killed in a house about 150 meters from the residence of the Pres. of Iran. Israel is on high alert.)

(My opinion: Shukr and Haniyeh already realize they are not in paradise with 72 virgins and wishing that no more members of their family join them. Sad.)

Six, concerning the Battle of Gog and Magog: Russia, Iran, Turkey, and others will attack Israel in the latter days and latter years.

On July 28, 2024, Turkish Pres. Erdoğan appeared to threaten to invade Israel in support of the Palestinians and to put an end to the nearly 10-month-old war Israel is fighting against Hamas in Gaza.

Erdoğan said:

• Turkey must be very strong so that Israel can’t do these things to the Palestinians. Just as we entered [Nagorno-]Karabakh, just as we entered Libya, we might do the same to them. There is nothing we can’t do. We must only be strong.

(My opinion: There is a lot that Turkey can’t do, and one of them is defeat Israel. God made a covenant to protect Israel, and no nation can destroy them.)

(More: On July 29, 2024, Israel’s foreign minister urged NATO to expel Turkey. It probably won’t happen, but we are seeing a growing animosity between Israel and Turkey.)

(More: On July 31, 2024, it was reported that if Turkey attacks Israel, Turkey will use some weapons that the Biden administration has sold and transferred to Turkey.)

Seven, concerning deceit: on July 22, 2024, it was reported that Kamala Harris is talking like she supports Israel, but she has clearly aligned herself with and supported the anti-Jewish Palestinian protestors in the U.S. that shout “from the river to the sea” and call for an intifada.

Eight, concerning the coming global economic collapse, the U.S. debt has now officially topped $35 trillion, and interest on that is close to $5 billion a day.

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

Wednesday, July 24, 2024 (Day 293): The two-hundred thirty-seventh day of the resumed war. Day 79 of the attack on Rafah.

• Israel recovered the bodies of 5 Oct. 7 hostages in Khan Younis. Israel had intelligence that said Hamas killed 4 in the Oct. 7 attack and murdered 1 after he became a hostage.
• The U.S. and UK destroyed 3 Houthi missile launchers in Yemen.

Thursday, July 25, 2024 (Day 294): The two-hundred thirty-eighth day of the resumed war. Day 80 of the attack on Rafah.

• It was reported that the bodies of the 5 Oct. 7 hostages were found in a tunnel in a humanitarian zone in Khan Younis. Israeli troops have been criticized for entering humanitarian zones, and now we see why: that may be where Hamas and some of the hostages are.

Friday, July 26, 2024 (Day 295): The two-hundred thirty-nineth day of the resumed war. Day 81 of the attack on Rafah.

• Israel took a 63-year-old Hamas leader who was in jail in Israel to the hospital where he died, and Hamas called for violent attacks against Jews to avenge his death.
• Israel killed 2 more senior Hezbollah commanders in southern Lebanon.

Saturday, July 27, 2024 (Day 295): The two-hundred fortieth day of the resumed war. Day 82 of the attack on Rafah.

• Based on intelligence that said Hamas troops were in Kahn Younis and some were in a humanitarian zone, Israel urged Palestinians to leave part of the humanitarian zone.

• A UN expert endorsed a tweet that compared Netanyahu to Hitler.

Sunday, July 28, 2024 (Day 296): The two-hundred forty-first day of the resumed war. Day 83 of the attack on Rafah.

• The Biden administration warned Israel not to attack Beirut because that is a red line for Hezbollah and could trigger an all-out war.

Monday, July 29, 2024 (Day 297): The two-hundred forty-second day of the resumed war. Day 84 of the attack on Rafah.

• Israel shot down a Hezbollah drone that was headed toward an offshore Israeli natural gas rig.

Tuesday, July 30, 2024 (Day 298): The two-hundred forty-third day of the resumed war. Day 85 of the attack on Rafah.

• S. Defense Sec. Lloyd Austin said the U.S. will help Israel defend itself if a full-scale war breaks out in Lebanon.
• Israel’s military said they have destroyed more than 60 miles of tunnels underneath the Gaza Strip since the Oct. 7 war broke out.

Wednesday, July 31, 2024 (Day 299): The two-hundred forty-fourth day of the resumed war. Day 86 of the attack on Rafah.

• The U.S. said Israel did not give it advance notice of Haniyeh’s assassination.
• Israel’s security cabinet met to discuss the reaction of Iran, Hezbollah, and Hamas to Haniyeh’s assassination.

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.
