Hegseth says the US has ‘flattened’ Iran’s defence industry and military capabilities
“They (Iran) can no longer build missiles, build rockets, build launchers, or build UAVs. Their factories have been flattened,” Hegseth said during a press briefing at the Pentagon, where he described Washington’s Operation Epic Fury as “a historic and overwhelming victory on the battlefield”, obtained “using less than 10% of America’s total combat power”.

US stocks surged and oil slumped on the US-Iran ceasefire – Newsquawk Asia-Pac Market Open
US stocks surged and oil prices tumbled after the US and Iran agreed to a two-week ceasefire, alongside Iran reopening the Strait of Hormuz, easing immediate supply concerns. The sharp decline in crude drove a broad cross-asset reaction, with equities rallying, the Treasury curve steepening, and front-end yields falling as inflation expectations eased and Fed rate hike bets pulled back.

60 shot dead in several villages in northern Nigeria
According to witness accounts, the gunmen have shot both Christians and Muslims in about ten villages. “They killed indiscriminately,” a witness said, according to AFP. At least 500 people have fled the villages and sought shelter in larger communities. No one has yet claimed responsibility for the attack, but the police suspect the local jihadist group Mahmuda.

Israel carried out its heaviest strikes on Lebanon since the conflict with Hezbollah broke out last month, even as the Iran-aligned terror group paused attacks on northern Israel and Israeli troops in Lebanon under a two-week US-Iran ceasefire. Consecutive explosions shook Beirut, sending smoke billowing across the capital, as Israel’s military said it had launched the largest coordinated strike of the war.

Not withdrawal, but pressure: Trump’s emerging plan to reshape NATO
Amid growing tensions between the United States and its European allies, the administration of US President Donald Trump is weighing a move that could reshape NATO from within – not by leaving the alliance, but by redefining America’s commitment to it. According to a report in The Wall Street Journal, the White House is considering a plan to redeploy US forces away from NATO member states that did not support the American-Israeli effort during the recent war with Iran, and instead reinforce countries viewed as more cooperative and aligned with Washington’s strategic goals. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt stated that “it is quite sad that NATO turned its back on the United States over the past six weeks, especially when the US is the one funding its defense.”

Iran blocks ships in Strait of Hormuz hours after opening strait
Iran’s agreement to reopen the Strait of Hormuz under the ceasefire with the US lasted only a few hours, as Iran has already stated that it has begun blocking ships again today (Wednesday) in what the government stated was a response to Israeli strikes against the Hezbollah terrorist organization in Lebanon. The Iranian embassy in Mumbai posted to X: “Due to Israeli strikes in Lebanon, oil tankers will not be permitted to pass through the Strait of Hormuz.”

Israelis wanted the regime to fall. They may have gotten something better

No Real People Were Polled: AI Is Now Fabricating What “The Public Thinks”
The other day Axios ran a piece that cited “findings” that a majority of people trusted their doctors and nurses. Turns out, those “findings” were completely fabricated by a company called Aaru – using AI (causing Axios to issue an editor’s note and ‘clarification’)Aaru uses something they call “silicon sampling,” where large language models (the AI) can emulate humans at a fraction of the cost and time required for traditional polling, the NY Times reports. Silicon sampling isn’t polling. It is the outright fabrication of public opinion by machines – and major news outlets and research firms are now publishing those fabrications as legitimate findings.

AI and the Cashless Society: Freedom or Slavery?
In your bank, the move is on to replace cash with digital currency. A cashless society means fully digital. Cash won’t exist. Banks will have full control of every single dollar in your accounts. Every transaction will be recorded. You will control nothing. President Trump is surrounded by technocrats constantly pushing him to move forward to build a cashless society.

This ends the series first posted in 2007.

Gog, the prophesied leader of the Israel-hating coalition north of Jerusalem, has hooks in his jaws—put there by none other than the Lord God of all creation. Our scenario has that hook lubricated generously with the black liquid gold of the Middle East.

The dictator who rules Russia has watched, with Lucifer-inspired obsession, the whole international rearrangements following the disappearance of millions. He receives an “evil thought,” and thinks to take “great spoil”—the vast oil supplies of the regions surrounding Israel.

It is the Tribulation era, Daniel’s seventieth week: the last seven years of human history that will culminate in Christ’s Second Advent. Humans have always claimed, in their humanistic pride, that they can make this world into paradise. This has been true since before the time of Nimrod and Babel (Genesis chapter 11).

The leader of the newly formed super-agglomeration of Western powers has brokered the peace the “prince” promises will make things heaven on earth for the world. Israel has bitten into the apple from the great leader’s garden of promises. God Almighty takes His hand off the earth to the extent that He will now allow humankind to see if they can achieve their utopia. The Holy Spirit has withdrawn from acting as restrainer upon the consciences of human beings.

Gog knows the leadership of the Western nations is consolidating its power. Once that’s done, the forces of the reviving Roman Empire will be formidable–perhaps even impossible to defeat. They have the most awesome thermonuclear arsenal ever stockpiled. But Russia, China, and even some of Gog’s other allies have such weapons, too. Enough to destroy the world, as a matter of fact. The Western behemoth that’s gathering strength is quite unlikely–in Gog’s self-inflated estimation—to use military power to try to stop his invasion at this point. Their weak note of diplomatic protest proves it in the Russian’s mind.

Gog is inspired by one other profound realization. The West’s true power has always been in its great technological capabilities–its fantastic, wealth-producing machinery that’s far more advanced than anything the humanity-oppressive regimes of the East have been able to match. The only true thing achieved by the Eastern world has been, for the most part, mere replication of things produced by the freedom-loving people of the West.

The Russian, in consort with his cohorts of the coalition he has gathered, knows that to take away the Western powers’ ability to run their machinery–thus their technological production—is to cripple them. He will claim all the oil of the Middle East. The West–having long fallen prey to those who preached the ecological mumbo-jumbo, the political correctness that said they were raping “Mother Earth” by drilling and refining petroleum—will be without resources to fuel their drive to dominate the world.

The leader who brokered the peace remains peaceful. He has sent his diplomatic protest. But he believes in Bible prophecy. His knowledge comes from the father of lies, who convinces him that all of prophecy is true, except the part that says he–the prince that shall come—will ultimately lose to the returning King of all kings (Revelation 19:20).

The Western leader watches the Gog-Magog forces gather. He is troubled but bides his time.

While the beast of Revelation 13 watches, the beast of the East–Gog—doesn’t keep his nemesis waiting long. The assault is quick, all-out, and—seen from satellite reconnaissance—looks like a massive storm moving southward toward Jerusalem. Israel sits vulnerable, without defense. The leader squints from Brussels at the many monitors while waiting to see if the things his special minion-mentors are telling him will play out on schedule.

He is not disappointed. Here is how Ezekiel, under God’s direction, reported this battle thousands of years ago:

“Therefore, thou son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:

And I will turn thee back, and leave but the sixth part of thee, and will cause thee to come up from the north parts, and will bring thee upon the mountains of Israel: And I will smite thy bow out of thy left hand, and will cause thine arrows to fall out of thy right hand. Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel, thou, and all thy bands, and the people that is with thee: I will give thee unto the ravenous birds of every sort, and to the beasts of the field to be devoured. Thou shalt fall upon the open field: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD” (Ezekiel 39:1-5).

Many, particularly the Jews within Israel, will believe God has won the victory. And, indeed, there is no evidence to the contrary. God did it all.

Even the great peacemaker from his proud perch has to say to himself that the Deity has done this marvelous thing. But so far as he is concerned, it only means advantage to his ambition. All resistance has been crushed for him, paving his way to fill the power vacuum. All of the oil riches are his.

Now he will truly be able to build his one-world kingdom. To him belongs the great spoil Gog foolishly thought would be his.

He rides into the region as a conqueror. He has–in his increasingly demon-possessed mind—correctly understood the “dark sentences” given him by his minion-mentors from the father of lies. Jerusalem, the very capital of Jehovah on Earth—is his for the taking. He, himself, will be the god of this planet:

“Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God” (2 Thessalonians 2:3-4).

Antichrist has revealed himself. He demands worship. The greatest holocaust of history will begin. It is the time of Jacob’s Trouble:

“Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob’s trouble; but he shall be saved out of it” (Jeremiah 30:7).

Jesus said of this time:

“For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be” (Matthew 24:21).

So, we come to the last of this series. But, of course, the story is far from over. The beautiful part of this scenario–and it is God’s scenario that really matters—is found in these last few words of the great old prophet Jeremiah: “but he shall be saved out of it.” All of Israel–the believing remnant—will be saved out of this horrible holocaust. (Read Revelation, chapter 12.)

We at Rapture Ready pray you will accept Jesus Christ as Savior now, before these prophesied end-of-days events overtake you and this judgment-bound world.

“That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved” (Romans 10:9).
