Shalom Partner and Friend of Israel,

So many things are happening simultaneously in these Last Days BUT did you know that there are two End-time WARS happening at the exact time; Spiritually and Physically. (1) A WAR against God and His Land and His people – Israel which affects not just Israel but the Church and Western Christian Nations. (2) A WAR on Humanity! First, let’s look where we are on the God’s Biblical Calendar as we are now approaching Rosh Hashanah – Feast of Trumpets and the New Biblical Year 5785…

We are currently in the last days of the Biblical month of ELUL – "The King is in the Field!" The "Sages" (active, Jewish leaders during the time of 2^nd Temple period wise to the Old Testament and are today called - Rabbi’s) of Israel emphasized that; although a person can "repent" at any time of year …ELUL is a time that is especially conducive to repentance and making amends, through prayer and humility; "Seek the Lord when He is found, call Him when He is near." - Isaiah 55:6, is an allusion to Elul and a time of God’s Divine goodwill and mercy. BUT this month is  also part of the preparatory process for entering into the; "The Days of Awe" awesome judgment of Rosh Hashana and the cleansing power of the Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement – Yom Kippur. God makes Himself especially close at hand during the month of ELUL and so it is a time marked by critical, scouring soul-searching preparing for the last of the 7 Feasts of the Lord and beginning of the New Biblical Year.

This year on Rosh Hashana (The Feast of Trumpets) 2-3 October, 2024 begins the Biblical Year 5785 (2024-25) and first Biblical Month of "Tishrei" then on the 11–12 October is Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement) followed by Sukkot (The Feast of Tabernacles) 16–24 October which ends with the Eight/Last Day of the Feast "Rejoicing in the Torah." (See our Teaching this month). Last year the Eight Day/Last Day fell on the 7 October, 2023 and the most brutal, savage attack took place in Israel against innocent civilians on what is considered a very happy day of rejoicing and celebration BUT this day turned out to be the saddest since the Holocaust …and Israel has been in war ever since and hostages taken almost a year ago are still held in air-less, underground tunnels with little or no food or medication.

Interestingly, on the evening of 2 October, 2024, a NEW moon in Israel …and it’s the end of the Biblical Year – ELUL 29  …and an Annular Solar Eclipse "ring of fire" – will cross over parts of South America, the Pacific Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean, and Antarctica on that same day. On the 3 October, 2024 a New Biblical Year/New Month begins 5785 (2024-2025).

Now here is where it gets more interesting…While all the attention across the world is only focusing on the WAR in the Middle East and Israel, there is also another WAR taking place side-by-side …and NOT many people are actually paying attention! Sadly, even many Churches or believers are NOT seeing this. Make NO mistake the WAR in Israel though the attacks are "physical" - it is also "Spiritual" Satan knows that his time is coming to an end and wants to try to prevent the soon return of; Yeshua (Jesus Christ) the Messiah! You see, it is only to Jerusalem where our Lord will return. Satan knows this and needs to destroy Israel and God’s plan of redemption! The WAR against Israel is now at a stage where the world is turning its back on Israel. How can we ever remove God, His Land - Israel, His people the Jews whom He has chosen? How can we remove Jerusalem, where YHVH – Yahweh God’s Name is written?

Do we NOT see what is really happening in the Middle East and especially in Israel - is a WAR on ETERNITY? And, another WAR taking place side-by-side is a WAR on Humanity? The "ungodly" Globalist  Elites want to  form their antichrist "One World Government" with a  "Palestine State" and NOT with Israel? Why? Simply because Israel is fighting for God’s Biblical Land and His people - the Jews …and yes, they are fighting for us in Christian Western Nations who believe that the Bible is the TRUE Word of God (The Bible) and is totally above man’s futile plans! "At that time shall arise Michael, the great prince who has charge of your people. And there shall be a time of trouble, such as never has been since there was a nation till that time. But at that time your people shall be delivered, everyone whose name shall be found written in the book."- Daniel 12:1.

Israel is fighting a WAR of survival ever since 7 October, 2023 …and just like in the days of Daniel (Daniel 3:18) – NOTHING has changed! Israel will NOT bow down to anyone  - BUT Yahweh God!

With the soon 1-Year anniversary since the demonic Hamas terrorists from Gaza’ brutal attack of 7 October, 2023 in Southern Israel …and with the 02 October, 2024 – Feasts of the Lord around the corner – Israel had to respond NOW! The most intense exchanges of fire first with Hamas in the South and now it’s also between Israel and Hezbollah in the North as the Lebanese militant Iranian proxy terrorist group has continually fired projectiles deeper into Israeli territory more than seen before …and so Israel HAD to take action in what PM Bibi Netanyahu described as "pre-emptive action  in order "to thwart another planned similar attack" planned by Iran and their proxy Hezbollah as this time it was a similar attack planned on civilians in Northern Israel!

Now here’s something the world has NEVER witnessed before! A "New Era" of WAR has begun…

Lebanon reeled after Israel launched deadly "cyber-attacks" that began on 17 September, 2024. The first attack came when the "pagers" of Hezbollah terrorists exploded at the same time across several parts of Lebanon …including the Capital Beirut, and in several towns in the central Beqaa valley which are strongholds for the Iran-backed militant group. The target was Hezbollah terrorists across the country and NOT the Lebanese civilians. "Walkie-talkies" were also detonating in a similar fashion as well as solar panels and other lithium battery powered devices including, I-Phones etc. Panic, fear and grief gripped the country, with questions swirling about how the attacks could have been carried out simultaneously and where the devices originated from, and whether this latest development could plunge the Middle East into a wider regional conflict. Today WAR is escalating!

Hezbollah terrorists are highly secretive, and its leader has previously urged families "to dump" their cell phones as to avoid infiltration from Israeli and US spyware… That’s why so many Hezbollah members were told to rely instead on "low-tech wireless communication" devices like the new "pagers" purchased by Hezbollah in recent months. Only just a day after Hamas terrorists in Gaza had launched their 7 October, 2023 attacks on Israel, the Iranian-backed militant Islamic terrorist organization Hezbollah joined the conflict in support of Hamas by firing on Israeli towns in the North …and ever since then, have been involved in cross-border attacks  thereby displacing entire communities …with significant damage to buildings and land along the border. Israel can NO longer allow its people to live like refugees in their own land and thus had to act so that the people could return to their homes. It’s a clear message sent to ALL surrounding Nations including IRAN who want to destroy God’s Land and people Israel!

Now look at what Amjad Taha, a political Arab strategist and analyst from the UAE wrote on X; "You dared to strike at a smart and courageous nation (Israel) on October 7^th -committing genocide, kidnapping their children, and violating their women. You thought they (Israel) would fall, but they rose again, returning after 11 months to correct what had only momentarily slipped - their intelligence. Now, they will send you back 1,000 years, to a time without technology, where a ringtone feels like a death knell and a beep is a nightmare. You (Hamas/Hezbollah) will be haunted by your own shadow, too afraid to use any technology, cut off from the advanced world. And they (Israel) will defeat you - not with bullets or tanks, but through the unbreakable will of brave, intelligent people. Over a simple cup of coffee, with one decisive click, they will seal your fate, and the fate of anyone who dares harm their children. This is a Nation the world respects. Lebanon - Hezbollah's pager attacks and today's V82 strike are not merely military victories; they represent a triumph for the Middle East over radicalism—a victory not only for Israel but for all who stand against terror.

As odd as it sounds even as Islam is growing in the "Christian" Western Nations even while the attacks are on Israel from Muslim Nations continue daily… We do NOT believe that this is "a rise of a Muslim Islamic Empire" before Yeshua (Jesus Christ) Returns nor a Chinese Empire nor any other sort of Empire. Why not? Because there would have to be another "Beast" or "Empire" in the dream of the statue of Nebuchadnezzar in Daniel 2. You see, there are ONLY 5 kingdoms mentioned; (1) It has a "head of gold" which was the Babylonian Empire. (2) A "chest and arms of silver" which was the Medo-Persian Empire. (3) A "belly and thighs of brass" which was the Greek Empire (4) and "legs of iron," Roman Empire (5) Final Empire is a "divided kingdom" with "feet of iron and clay" – that is the Empire of today (The EU, UN, WEF, WHO etc).

The WAR on Humanity is happening simultaneously…

Satan, "the god of this world" is using the ungodly, wealthy, greedy; Globalist Elites, United Nations, WEF, WHO …and power-hungry World Leaders… to turn the world against Yahweh – God, Nake NO mistake the United Nations was involved with the attack on Israel on the 07^th October, 2023 just as they are also involved with the Globalist war on humanity! His Chosen Land and people Israel, Church, and true believers. Satan wants to destroy everything that Almighty God has created! How does he do so? In these Last Days, Satan is using; Liberalist, Socialist, Communist, Islamist policies and laws that are, un-righteous, un-Biblical - producing nothing good but instead endless poverty and lack so that they can control people! Truly we are living in the End-times and we believers need to "keep our lamps burning" even as we see everything coming together …just as our Lord warned it would be "as in the Days of Noah and Lot prior to His Return (Matthew 24 and Luke 21).

Even as we write this Newsletter, we can see MAJOR changes possibly even as early as this year, 2024 leading into 2025… Especially after the United Nations (UNGA79) meeting of September 22-23 in New York. They called it; "the most important meeting in a generation!" It is named the "Summit of the Future" and with focus on "Peace and Security." This UN meeting of September 2024 was more than what we realize since the Nations signed; "The Pact for the Future" and "Overpopulation Problem" and so it was unanimously accepted by the Nations. What happens next? It will grant the United Nations "emergency powers" over ALL the Nations. BUT like Gideon we MUST stand firm and refuse… "The men of Israel asked Gideon to be their ruler. He has refused, insisting that the Lord should be their ruler." - Judges 8:22–23.

Since the UN has already accepted "Palestine" as legitimate state and member could this also be the Daniel 9:27 "The Covenant of the Many" as the Bible warns will take place in the Last Days? WILL this WAR against Israel usher in the destruction of Damascus (Isaiah 17) and the beginning of the Ezekiel 38 WAR and the Great Tribulation (last 7-Years) .and the END of man’s rule on earth? Time will surely tell! The Globalists would need some sort of GLOBAL Emergency! Could it be World WAR 111, a new PLAN-DEMIC, CLIMATE CHANGE? Or even another to way to stop Trump from taking office since there has already been failed assignation attempts on his life. The American Election takes place on; 5 November, 2024 …and the Globalists Elites do NOT want Trump since he will stop their plans for a New-World-Order / One-World-Government/Religion! Truly we believe that the worst is yet on the horizon as the world moves closer towards the American Election, on the American Election Day as well as the Inauguration and most especially if Trump is Elected President as he is a true friend of Israel!

The Globalist Liberal Elites will NOT stop! and so we truly believe that attacks will continue. If so, then are we today seeing the formation of; "Mystery Babylon?" "The woman was clothed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls, having in her hand a gold cup full of abominations and of the unclean things of her immorality…." Revelation 17:3-6. The Apostle John saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast and gave some details of the "Beast" as he continues the vision, he describes "how the woman was clothed!" In Revelation, clothes symbolize the character of the person. For example; God’s people have; "…washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb." Revelation 7:14.  The bride (of Christ – the Church) is clothed; "in fine linen, bright and clean; for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints" – Revelation 19:8.

Let’s now examine "Mystery Babylon" together… The woman as clothed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls!  In the Ancient World, "scarlet clothing" was difficult to manufacture, very expensive and was only be worn by the rich. In the Scriptures, purple and "scarlet" are symbols of status, wealth, and royalty (Judges 8:26; Matthew 27:28-29). The "gold, precious stones and pearls" also indicate her "worldly wealth." The Son of Man – Yeshua (Jesus) had "nowhere to lay His head" (Matthew 8:20) …but Babylon, in the view of sinful man, seems beautiful! "…having in her hand a gold cup" - Revelation 17:3-6.  In Scripture "a cup and wine" symbolizes that harm will be done to somebody or a Nation. God will give Babylon "the CUP of the wine of His fierce wrath"  The great City of Babylon split into three sections, and the cities of many nations fell into heaps of rubble. So, God remembered all of Babylon's sins, and he made her drink the cup that was filled with the wine of his fierce wrath." – Revelation 16:19  …just as He will make Jerusalem "a cup of trembling for ALL Nations who try to divide her (Zechariah 12:2).

Are we seeing History repeating itself? And, is Daniel 3 a foreshadow of Revelation 17/18 and the coming Antichrist  Globalist Government? Today many people are oblivious and totally unaware of "Prophecy" or that we are living in End-times. If we were to mention that the wealthy Globalist Elites and Leaders of Nations are today preparing the world for their "New World Order" …that WILL require everyone to adhere to their strict rules, then some say; "We are all living in different countries, where is this Global Government. How can it be so?" It’s NOT a country BUT a SYTEM that is going to RULE over ALL people and Nations as we see in Revelation 17-23! This chapter describes the "fall of religious Babylon" and the "ten kings" to come, who are allies of the Antichrist! For our Partners and those who have been following our Newsletters and Teachings for some years are wise …and can see the "SIGNS’ and that we are living in the Last Days …and that Bible Prophecy is coming; together piece by piece …by PEACE! We have come to the END of the "times for Gentile Nations rule!"

How about looking at a Bible story that we all grew up with in; (Daniel 3) "the Fiery Furnace"… The people in Daniel’s time of ALL languages and Nations had to; "BOW DOWN" to the golden statue that King Nebuchadnezzar had set up. Therefore, at that time certain Chaldeans came forward and maliciously accused the Jews. They declared to King Nebuchadnezzar, "O king, live forever! You, O king, have made a decree, that every man who hears the sound of the horn, pipe, lyre, trigon, harp, bagpipe, and every kind of music, shall fall down and worship the golden image.  And whoever does NOT fall down and worship shall be cast into a burning fiery furnace. There are certain Jews whom you have appointed over the affairs of the province of Babylon: Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. These men, O king, pay NO attention to you; they do not serve your gods or worship the golden image that you have set up." Daniel 3: 8-12.

In the next few years, as things tighten around us …we may all begin to face a "fiery furnace" (should our Lord Yeshua’ return tarry) as Ancient Babylon foreshadows the Modern "Mystery Babylon" (Revelation 17/18). This End-time Antichrist Government will RULE over ALL the people too BUT it will be after the RAPTURE - Harpazo! In Biblical Times the Rulers were called; "Kings and Merchants" …in Modern times today, they are called the WEALTHY Elites, Leaders of Nations, Business people, Billionaires and Bankers etc and they are calling the shots "behind the scenes" and it’s likely that they are going to use the United Nations as a vehicle to RULE ALL the Nations and possibly set it into motion after of September, 2024.

The Book of Revelation is unveiling before our eyes in Modern times… as the "Mark of the Beast System" is being set up and WILL require that ALL languages and Nations take that mark and bow down to the Antichrist!  Did you know that "Babylon" plays a crucial role in End-times Prophecy? What does it all mean? And is it something we've seen before? Babylon the Great fell to the Persians in 539 B.C., less than a Century after its founding when the legendary Persian king Cyrus the Great conquered Babylon. So, why does this kingdom play a role in the Last Days? Babylon first appeared at the  Tower of Babel, and was conquered by the Persians in the Book of Daniel …BUT today like Persia (Iran) rears its ugly head once more just as Prophesied in the Book of Revelation.

And, after the "divided Empire" of "iron and clay" we WILL have the Kingdom of God…. Christ the stone came out of a mountain, cut out without hands, and it smote the image upon the feet, toppled the image, broke it to pieces, and then ground it to powder. Then the wind came and blew that powder, the dust of that powder, away, and that stone became a mountain and filled the whole earth, speaking of the fact that Christ’s Kingdom would become a world-wide Kingdom, for the next thousand years!

Now there are only four animals in Daniel 7; The Lion, the Bear, the Leopard, and the fourth beast, the unnamed beast of Daniel 7:7. That’s what Daniel saw, and that’s God’s view of the earthly kingdoms! So, here’s the question: How many phases of the kingdom of men did we see in Daniel 7, prior to the Kingdom of God? Not very hard for us to understand - is it? Four? Daniel 2 says it’s five? Daniel 7 says its FOUR? What is the answer to the riddle? Can you see that Rome and the "divided Empire" (the last Empire) are both the same thing? The Roman Empire existed 2,000 years ago and as far as Daniel is concerned, that Empire WILL be the Empire that exists when Christ returns! That’s what Daniel 7 tells us will happen. Therefore, the critical point is, that the Roman Empire is a 2,000-year Empire, and all we are waiting to see prior to our Lord’s Return, is a "resurrection" of the Roman Empire in these Last Days …and already we see it happening with the Pope. 

While Daniel is  asleep, he is shown by God a bizarre sequence of events… "And I (John) stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority. And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast." He watched 4-Beasts rise out of a stormy sea! We see in;  Daniel 7:4-6 … in the Last Days FOUR World Powers; (1) Babylonian Empire, (2) Persian Empire, (3) Greek Empire …BUT when we get to; Daniel 7:7; "After this, in the visions of the night I (Daniel) saw a fourth beast, terrifying, horrible, and of extraordinary strength; it had great iron teeth with which it devoured and crushed, and it trampled with its feet what was left. It differed from the beasts that preceded it. It had ten horns."

Here we see another Empire… the 4^th Beast is the LAST "beast" and is terrifying, horrible, had extraordinary strength and was different from the others! It is long thought to be the Roman Empire or the "Revised Roman Empire" …but the Scripture says that this 4^th Beast is also connected to FEAR and is going to be breaking and consuming things! As we look at this Prophecy in part, we don’t know the cause of the event? BUT what we do know is that we are warned of it coming in; Revelation:12:3; "And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads."

So, will this worldly kingdom of "Mystery Babylon" play a big role in End-times? YES! And, at the same time we MUST keep our eyes on what is happening within and around Israel as we approach these Last Days! BOTH are Prophetically connected to Last Days …and there is "a battle" happening BOTH "spiritually" and "physically" side-by-side in two realms! BUT sadly, we ask again "…are all believers in Yeshua (Jesus Christ) actually seeing this being played out?" No! There are many more questions! Let’s see if we can unwrap some more of the "Mystery" and dive into Scripture together!

Throughout history there have always been Empires and Governments wanting to controlling the Nations… In the Bible, King Nebuchadnezzar during his Era of "Global Government" conquered kingdoms to expand his Empire of Babylon. He overtook Judah and destroyed the 1^st Temple in Jerusalem in 587BC, taking for himself the holy relics from the 1^st Temple. Today a NEW Global Government System is forming what the Bible calls; "Mystery Babylon!" Another Babylon! During the time of Nebuchadnezzar GOLD was an important commodity and "furnaces" were used to melt down the gold. Now isn’t it just so interesting that GOLD is today being pushed by BRICS Nations as a standard for currency …we can say "to melt down" the US Dollar? We are truly going to feel the "heat" of this "Mystery Babylon" just like in the days of Shadrach, Meshack and Abendigo (Hebrew names, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah) and face the "fiery furnace!"

In Daniel 7:19-22, Daniel asks about the boastful horn who wages a WAR against God’s people? Daniel sees that God WILL judge the horn and give the earth to His people; "Then I (Daniel) desired to know the exact meaning of the fourth beast, which was different from all the others, exceedingly dreadful, with its teeth of iron and its claws of bronze, and which devoured, crushed, and trampled down the remainder with its feet, and the meaning of the ten horns that were on its head and the other horn which came up, and before which three of them fell, namely, that horn which had eyes and a mouth uttering great boasts and which was larger in appearance than its associates. I (Daniel)  kept looking, and that horn was waging war with the saints and overpowering them UNTIL the Ancient of Days came and judgment was passed in favour of the saints of the Highest One, and the time arrived when the saints took possession of the kingdom."

Where do we read about "Sulphur" again? "The horses and riders I (John) saw in my vision looked like this: Their breastplates were fiery red, dark blue, and yellow as sulphur. The heads of the horses resembled the heads of lions, and out of their mouths came fire, smoke, and sulphur. A third of mankind was killed by the three plagues of fire, smoke and sulphur that came out of their mouths." – Revelation 9:17-18. Remember that this vision given to the Apostle John by God in the Book of Revelation was over 2,000 years ago AND during a time when the army was limited to his day of being men on foot, on horses and on chariots, etc …and was quite different from today. Our world is NOT the same world of the Apostle John! Today we have advanced Technology Systems as well as controlling fighter pilots in the air and Israel has "iron dome" to shoot down rockets and other targets aimed at them …and on land; drones, tanks, and machine guns etc., and so the Apostle John would only have made comparison with his day and time he was living in! Technology today has increased dramatically and continues to advance day-by-day just as we saw in the "Pager" attack on Hezbollah Militant terrorists …with a click of a switch introducing a NEW type of WAR – "Cyber Warfare!" Nuclear attacks are NOT to be ruled out as its the next option of "warfare"  especially used by Iran against Israel. The Bible warned us that it would be like this in the Last Days!

Today, "Sulphur" in Revelation 9:17-18 could be from "toxic gas" especially since already used in WW2 to eliminate the enemy. The time that the Apostle John is talking about in the Scripture is Prophetically for after the Rapture of the Church as people would be under TOTAL submission to the Antichrist and most alive during the Tribulation would have rejected Christ …and therefore quite willing to fight to kill 1/3 of mankind without remorse either. In the vision of the Apostle John the "horses" had "fiery, dark blue and yellow breastplates" which some believe will be three organized groups of soldiers scattered over the earth …also "plagues of; "fire, smoke and sulphur" released upon the earth.

Throughout the Bible we see the meaning for "FIRE" as "a symbol of destruction" - like "a fire" for rejecting God that leads to hell… "Smoke" has the symbolic meaning of "invisibility" and could mean that once destroyed by "fire," the opportunity for "repentance" therefore NO longer exists! "Sulphur" has the component to keep a never-ending "flame" and therefore …Eternally lost without hope. Sadly, even in the face of all this in Revelation 9:20 message of God’s judgement many WILL still continue in their sinful ways and reject God! After death there will be NO more time or opportunity for repentance. We are already living in a time of where wickedness has increased, many have rejected Yahweh God and His Word, the Bible …and live as though He does NOT exist! Certainly, the worse is still to come as we are NOT yet in the Great Tribulation! BUT we MUST choose a life of honouring and pleasing to God and accept His Son Yeshua (Jesus) as our Saviour. The Holy Spirit WILL guide us even as these days grow darker!

We most sincerely believe that God WILL bless you for your faithfulness and love for His land and chosen people. God’s Word is true! He IS watching to see how the Nations are treating His people. God will have mercy on Israel through Gentile believers acting as mediators towards them. This is one of the most amazing revelations ever given to the Church – an opportunity to do something that carries the highest priority in the heart of God. Yet, sadly, so few have seen the potential and the rewards of serving God in this manner - as agents of mercy to Israel and the Jewish people! Israel was and still is despised today and a despised Nation continually turning away from God …BUT nothing ever altered the purpose of God for that Nation. The "despised element" is always a noticeable element in the purpose of God. When the Saviour of the world came, He came of that "despised Nation" (and just like Israel) He Himself was "…despised and rejected by men." And there is that despised element; "…things that are despised God has chosen," - 1 Corinthians 1:28.

We hope that you enjoy and become more informed by our work. We serve an awesome God and we are humbled by this opportunity to bring you this information.

With Shalom to you and your family always,
