UU.S. military units continue to arrive in the Middle East, as the USS Gerald Ford aircraft carrier is expected to enter the Mediterranean Sea later this week, according to USNI News.

Ramadan Earthquake Strikes Ancient Shushan Ten Days Before Purim, Putting Iran in the Crosshairs of Ezekiel’s Prophecy 
The ground shook in Iran on the first day of Ramadan — and it shook in a place that every Jew on earth knows by name. A magnitude 5.5 earthquake struck the Iranian province of Khuzestan on Thursday, hitting a region that sits atop one of the most prophetically charged pieces of real estate on the planet: ancient Shushan — the city of Esther, the city of Mordecai, the city where the Jewish people once came within a decree’s breadth of annihilation — and where God turned the tables on their would-be destroyers. That was 2,500 years ago. Purim is in ten days. Shushan — known today as Susa, or Shush in Persian — is located in Khuzestan province in southwestern Iran, one of the oldest continually inhabited settlements on earth, with history stretching back approximately 7,000 years. Iran — ancient Paras, Persia — is explicitly named in the prophecy of Gog u’Magog,

“President Trump, this is an important day,” Sa’ar began, commending the President’s leadership. “Your historic actions have proven time and again: You are a leader who takes initiative, forges new paths, and works toward a better future for the entire world. Your visionary leadership, alongside Prime Minister Netanyahu’s resolve, brought all our hostages home from Gaza. Thank you for that.” Sa’ar proudly spoke on behalf of the State of Israel, which, he noted, endured two years of war on seven fronts, showcasing what he called unmatched resilience and strength. “I recall the 925 brave soldiers who gave their lives in a war against pure evil: Hamas, Islamic Jihad, and Hezbollah.

Canada Announces Plan To Recruit Foreign Soldiers For Fast Track Immigration 
It’s a common theme throughout history – When governments go authoritarian, they often hire foreign soldiers in order to better control their respective populations or wage war on their neighbors. The strategy is being implemented across Europe currently; with many nations taking in millions of third world migrants from Muslim nations and using targeted marketing to recruit them as police and military. Not all mass immigration is about rigging elections in favor of socialists. It’s sometimes about subjugation using people who have no loyalty to the native population. Canada appears to be the latest progressive regime to introduce the integration of foreign military professionals into their ranks.

Trump Has A UFO Speech Ready To Deliver
Documentary filmmaker Dan Farah appeared on Joe Rogan’s podcast in November to promote his new documentary, The Age of Disclosure, and predicted that his film might force Trump to become the first world leader to confirm the existence of extraterrestrial life publicly. “I wouldn’t be surprised if it happens soon after the film comes out — the sitting president has to step to the microphone and say: humanity is not alone in the universe,” Farah told Rogan. “We have recovered technology of non-human origin. So have other nations. There is a high-stakes, secret cold war race to reverse engineer this technology. We need to win this race.” Lara Trump suggests that President Trump is ready to make an announcement to the world about the existence of aliens, with his script already prepared for the “right time.”

The Lost Tribes are coming home, but first, they must leave Egypt behind
have been blessed to get to know hundreds of Christians who read my articles because they feel spiritually drawn to Israel. This may seem counterintuitive. Yes, Jesus was Jewish, an undeniable fact that many Christians have difficulty coming to terms with. Replacement theology, one of the pillars of Catholicism and Protestantism, tries to erase the nation of Israel from the Bible and replace elements of Judaism.
