Latest Prophecies

Dr. Mawire suggested in his latest video that an irrevocable decision would be made on the 9th Av, likely for WW3 and the subsequent rise of AntiChrist.

When is 9 Av on the Jewish Calendar?

I note that the suggested Gregorian date for 9th Av, as suggested by:

Chabad

http://chabad.org says the 9 Av is on July 22-23, 2026

Chabad.org chose March 19, 2026 as Nisan 1, the start of the Jewish New Year.  Their calculation method relies on the equinox on or before Nissan 15, the starting day of the week, the blooming of the fruit trees, and the blooming of the barley crops in Jerusalem; and is described here:  

https://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/947921/jewish/Kiddush-HaChodesh-Chapter-4.htm

Hebcal

http://hebcal.com was starting 9 Av after sundown on Jul. 23, 2026.

Torah Calendar

https://torahcalendar.com/Calendar.asp?YM=Y2026M5 was starting 9 Av after sundown on Jul. 23, 2026

Torahcalendar.com chose sundown on March 20, 2026 as their Nisan 1 date.  They state that they reckon the start of the year as follows:

The Spiritual Year begins at the moment of sunset at Jerusalem, on the evening of the first potentially visible crescent moon beginning Day 1 of Month 1. A Spiritual Year can begin before or after the spring equinox. The rule of the equinox always places Day 15 of Month 1 on or after the Hebrew Day of the spring equinox, and Month 1 should begin as soon as possible in spring to fulfill Exodus 12:29. A Hebrew Year always contains 12 Hebrew Months in a regular year or 13 Hebrew Months in a leap year. The Spiritual Year begins on Day 1 of Month 1 based on the rule of the equinox, while the typical Civil Year begins on Day 1 of Month 7. Once every 50 years the special Jubilee Year begins on Day 10 of Month 7.

God's Calendar?

See below my latest update and annotation of Dr. Mawire's 2023-11-8 "Tribulation Timeline To Eternity".

As you can see, I suggest WW3 is 2026-8-14, followed by the true 9 Av day of Jewish judgment at the unrestrained genocidal hands of all or most Middle East Islamists, on 2026-8-25.

Jewish Calendar Errors?

Others suggest that the Jewish calendar (and Christian Easter) was incorrectly calculated this year.  

It is suggested that the fully correct definition for the start of the Biblical year is the earliest date that meets all of the following 6 criteria:

1. Day of Equilux (ie. 12 hr. day, 12 hour night) has occurred (always on March 17th).

2.  Spring Equinox has occurred (ie. also called the Vernal Equinox or "first point of Aries".  This occurs when the Sun is positioned directly above Earth's equator, which causes the Sun to rise directly East, and sets directly West; usually occurs on March 19, 20, or 21st).

3.  The Waxing New Moon crescent becomes visible just after sunset.   The first visible sign of the new moon is the "young moon" or waxing crescent, which appears very low on the western horizon just after sunset, typically 18–30 hours after the official astronomical new moon.

4.  The New Moon is in the constellation Aries.

5.  The Sun is in the constellation Pisces.

6.  At or shortly after sunset, the constellations Orion, Great Bear ( ie. Ursa Major), Arcturus (in Bootes), and Spica (in Virgo) are all above the horizon & visible in Jerusalem, Israel (see Job 38:31-33).

In 2026, all of these conditions are true for the start of the Biblical New Year (1 Nisan) on April 18, 2026 at sundown; as follows:

Calculating 1 Nisan 2026 via Stellarium App

According to Stellarium, New Moon begins at 2026-4-17 1:25:20, as its phase goes from 0.1 (waning) to 0.0 (fully New Moon).

At 2026-4-18 3:14:36, Moon phase goes from 0 to 0.1 (waxing sliver crescent)

New Moon Duration= 22:34:40 + 3:14:36= 25:48:76= 1d:1h:49m:16s

Mid-point of New Moon= 0.5d:0.5h:24.5 m:8 s=  0d:12h:54m:38s

Astronomical New Moon Centre Point= 2026-4-17 13:79:58= 2026-4-17 14:19:58

Thin crescent is first visible at 18 to 30 hours after this centre point.

First likely visibility of sliver of Moon at 2026-4-17 32:19:58= 2026-4-18 8:19:58

Add 15 days for full Moon on Preparation Day (day before Passover 2026)= 2026-4-33 8:19:58= 2026-5-3 8:19:58

True Passover began at Sundown (ie. 7:22 pm in Jerusalem Israel), after Preparation Day= 2026-5-3 19:22:00 pm.

Similarly, using Enoch Calendar (ie. Zadok's Calendar, or Dead Sea Scrolls Calendar), we can then calculate 9 Av as 130th day of Biblical year, 237th day of Gregorian year, falling on 2026-8-25.

Sum=68 Dates

I also note that 2026-8-14 is a Sum=68 date (ie. Sum= 20+26+8+14= 68).

WW1 started on a Sum=68 date (1914-7-28), as did WW2 (1939-9-1), as did the Russian-Ukraine War (2022-2-24).  I therefore suggest that WW3 likely starts on a Sum=68 date.

Based on Biblical prophesies, WW3 is likely the fall of Mystery Babylon-USA, as per Daniel 7:5 (3 ribs are USA, UK, and France, the only 3 NATO countries with nuclear weapons), Daniel 11:1-4 (4th Persian dynasty began in 1908 with the Anglo-Persian Oil discovery of oil in Persia; with Donald Trump as the mighty king), and Rev. 6:7-8 which describes WW3, with 2 billion dead or dying within 24 hrs.

It will possibly take Middle East Muslims 11 days to confirm that USA is truly destroyed, USA can no longer help Israel, and the Muslims are free to mobilize their armed forces for an all-out attack on Israel on 2026-8-25 (Biblical 9th Av 2026), sacking all of Israel and Jerusalem, possibly including the nuking of Tel Aviv as previously prophesied by Dr. Mawire (publicly announced at the Jerusalem Prayer Breakfast, Houston TX USA on 2023-2-23 to 24).  

According to the Bible, the Muslims likely invade and over-run Israel and Jerusalem with genocidal killing, raping and pillaging, Then God steps in to save Israel.  This likely ends Israel's Psalm 83 War (from 2023-10-7 to 2026-8-25, or very soon thereafter).

A covenant of many is soon signed, endorsed by a pseudo-Messiah (actually the AntiChrist, evil Dictator of all Planet Earth).  This peace treaty enables Israel to build the 3rd Temple where it should be, on Temple Mount, next to the Dome of the Rock Mosque, with a wall between the Temple and the mosque, separating the Temple from the "abomination of desolation".

Protection Under God

There is no protection from any of the above events, except under God.

We are all commanded to fear God, know God, believe in God, trust God, have faith in God, fully love God, love all others as we love ourselves, forgive all others and hold neither anger nor bitterness against them.

We must have a deep, intimate, lovingly obedient relationship with Jesus Christ as our God, LORD, Messiah, Saviour, King, and friend.

Here is some guidance on how to quickly achieve all of the above:

God's 26 Commandments for Christians

https://et-manitoulin.blogspot.com/2019/12/gods-26-commandments-for-christians.html

Iran's 4 Kingdoms in Dan 11:1-2

Most study Bibles present Alexander The Great as the strong King in Dan 11:3.  

Pre-1908, that was the best interpretation available.

After the Anglo-Persian Oil Co. oil & gas discoveries in 1908, and the start of oil sales in 1909, Persia has been far richer than their prior herding goats, sheep, and camels achieved.

On that basis, I proposed the following question to Google:

Q:  Assuming that the strong king in Daniel 11:3 is USA's President Trump in 2026, and the 4th richest Persian-Iran kingdom began in 1909 with the wealth generated by the Anglo-Persian Oil Co. and continues to 2026, define the other 3 prior kingdoms of Persia-Iran that fit these assumptions.

Chat GPT's Answer:

Under the specific theological assumptions that U.S. President Donald Trump is the "mighty king" of 2026 ( Daniel 11:3 ) and the "fourth" Persian kingdom is the modern oil-wealth era (1909–2026), the three prior kingdoms must be the major unified Iranian dynasties immediately preceding the 20th century.

In this framework, the four kingdoms of Persia/Iran are defined as follows:

1st Kingdom: The Safavid Empire (1501–1736)

Significance: This era established the modern borders of Iran and declared Shi'a Islam as the official state religion, creating the distinct national identity that persists today.

Prophetic Fit: As the first "king" in this sequence, the Safavids represent the foundational "standing up" of the modern Persian state after centuries of fragmented rule.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Iran

2nd Kingdom: The Afsharid Empire (1736–1796)

Significance: Founded by Nader Shah, often called the "Napoleon of Persia," this kingdom was characterized by massive military expansion, including the conquest of Delhi.

Prophetic Fit: This kingdom represents the second stage of Persian rise, noted for extreme military prowess and the brief re-establishment of a vast, centralized empire.

3rd Kingdom: The Zand Dynasty (1751–1794) 

Significance: Centered in Shiraz under Karim Khan Zand, this era is remembered as a period of relative peace, justice, and the restoration of trade.

Prophetic Fit: The Zands represent the third "king" to arise, bridging the gap between the military expansion of Nader Shah and the modern economic era.

4th Kingdom: The "Oil Wealth" Era (1909–2026)

Significance: Triggered by the 1908 discovery of oil and the 1909 formation of the Anglo-Persian Oil Company (now BP), this era spans the late Qajar period, the Pahlavi dynasty, and the Islamic Republic.

Prophetic Fit: In your assumption, this is the "fourth" who is "far richer than them all". Its power is derived from the "riches" of petroleum, which it uses to "stir up all" against Western powers—leading to the 2026 conflict where it is broken by the "mighty king" (President Trump).

4th Verse of Daniel Chapter 11

If all the above is God's truth, then we must carefully consider the 4th verse of Daniel's Chapter 11, as follows:

[Dan 11:4 KJV] "4 And when he shall stand up, his kingdom shall be broken, and shall be divided toward the four winds of heaven; and not to his posterity, nor according to his dominion which he ruled: for his kingdom shall be plucked up, even for others beside those."

Trump is the "he" that stands up,  and "his kingdom" is USA that is destroyed, and scattered to the 4 winds.

That will likely soon occur, likely Mar. 19, 2026 in accordance with Daniel 7:5, 11:4; and Rev. 6:7-8, and other Bible verses.

After that, the Muslim hordes will over-run Israel, God will intervene to save Israel, the AntiChrist will rise, endorse the Covenant of Many, the Jews will wrongly assume the AntiChrist is their Messiah, the Jews start building the 3rd. Temple on Temple Mount.  The AntiChrist starts persecuting the Christian's on a world-wide basis.

Iranian War: The Beginning of the End

 USA's attack against Iran (Persia) is in the Bible, prophesied around 540 BC:

[Dan 11:2-4 KJV] "2 And now will I shew thee the truth. Behold, there shall stand up yet three kings in Persia; and the fourth shall be far richer than they all: and by his strength through his riches he shall stir up all against the realm of Grecia. 3 And a mighty king shall stand up, that shall rule with great dominion, and do according to his will. 4 And when he shall stand up, his kingdom shall be broken, and shall be divided toward the four winds of heaven; and not to his posterity, nor according to his dominion which he ruled: for his kingdom shall be plucked up, even for others beside those."

"Persia" is the modern day Iran. The 4th Persian dynasty, richer than all previous, began in 1909 with the production of crude oil & natural gas.  In 1979, the Islamic tyrants of Iran started the tyranny & terrorism against neighbours, Israel, Christians, and all Christian nations.

"Grecia" is the Gentile, Western governments of Europe, UK, UK Commonwealth, NATO, USA, & allies).

"A mighty king" in Verse 3 is likely President Trump, 2nd. term.

Destruction is soon coming to both Trump and USA, likely according to Daniel 11:4, and Daniel 7:5, where the bear rises up, has 3 ribs in its mouth, and is then commanded to "devour much flesh".  

The bear is Russia, the 3 ribs are likely USA, UK, and France.  The "devour much flesh" is likely WW3, which is a 24 hour long nuclear war, likely according to Rev. 6:7-8, with 2 billion people dead or dying.

The Likely Date for WW3

WW3 may happen as soon as March 19, 2026 as this is a Sum=68 date (ie. 3+19+20+26= 68; just like the start dates of WW1, WW2, and Russian-Ukraine War were all Sum=68 dates).  Secondly, there are planet conjunctions and celestial alignments that support this theory.

March 19, 2026 is also the first day of the new year on the Jewish calendar.  Since WW3 enables the rise of the Anti-Christ, this evil gets their own new year to start, and then continues for the next 7 years.

The Jewish festival of Purim on Mar. 3, 2026 had the 3rd of 3 Blood Moons  (ie. 2024, 2025, 2026).  This is an extremely rare event.  

The previous, and only other time there were 3 Blood Moons on 3 consecutive Purims was in 33 AD, the same year Jesus was crucified.  What are the astronomical odds of that occurring?

The Bible command us to "look up".  God told us the planets & stars are for signs, to help us know God's timing.  And so it is ....

Other WW3 Prophecies

WW3 will likely be according to the 1986 prophecy of Henry Gruver, a prayer walker & prophet of God, while he was prayer walking in Wales, UK, where he went up into the Eagle Tower, Caernarfon Castle (Prince of Wales), in Dec. 14, 1986, where he had a vision of a Russian nuclear attack upon USA.

It will be at least 7 nukes, 3 East Coast USA, 4 West Coast USA.  Add to that the attacks by China & N. Korea.

Nuked sites  in N. America are likely NYC, Washington DC, Miami, Seattle, SanFran, LA, & San Diego.

https://youtu.be/tj23b8LyTx8?list=PLoA7Hce5FJFcyB6tncAuTbFOsI8dWTU_Q

Note that this vision was before the collapse of USSR in 1991. Note in his prophecy, he refers to “Russia", and never refers to “USSR”. In 1986, nobody knew about the collapse of USSR in 1991, 5 yrs. after the vision. Almost everybody, including so-called USSR experts, was shocked in 1991 when the USSR suddenly collapsed.

While a specific date isn't given, Erin, an End Times Prophetess of God, reinforces, &/or does not contradict, all the above by her latest posting:

Dream 941 – Lesson Three

Received on Friday, March 6, 2026

https://sparrowcloud9.com/heaven-dreams-interpretations/the-tribulation/excerpt-from-dreams-questions-answered/full-dreams/dream-941/

Are you a Christian ?

~99.5% of those who self-identify as "Christian" are self-righteous, thinking that they are a "good person", BUT DO NOT HAVE THE MANDATORY DEEP, INTIMATE, LOVINGLY OBEDIENT RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS CHRIST AS THEIR GOD, LORD, MESSIAH, SAVIOUR, KING, AND FRIEND.

That means that only ~0.5% of Christians are protected by God, and "Rapture Ready".

Confess, repent, get Born Again as a child of God, pray for the fiery baptism through the Holy Spirit.

With the strength & guidance of the Holy Spirit, quickly get all iniquity (ie. willful, pre-planned, or chronic sin) out of your life, hate all sin just as God hates all sin, and love all things that God loves.  

Obey God's commandments. 

In John 14:15, Jesus said,

"If you love Me, keep My commandments"

[1Jo 2:4 KJV] "4 He that saith, 'I know Him', and keepeth not His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him."

[1Jo 5:2 KJV] "2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep His commandments."

Establish & strengthen, more & more, your deep, intimate, lovingly obedient relationship with Jesus Christ as your God, LORD, Messiah, Saviour, King, and friend.

Pray for the Souls

Please pray for the all the souls in harm's way, who have one or more of the following problems:

• Unrepentant;
• those holding unforgiveness, grudges, anger, or bitterness against others;
• luke-warm Christians who have favorite sins;
• those without a deep intimate, lovingly obedient relationship with Jesus Christ as their God, LORD, Messiah, Saviour, and friend; 
• pseudo-Christians who follow non-Biblical cults;
• hypocrites;
• the double-minded;
• workers of iniquity;
• the self-righteous; 
• wolves in sheep's clothing; and 
• non-Christians.

After Iran war comes Bible's Daniel 7:5, where Russia-China-N.Korea will nuke USA, UK, and France (the 3 ribs, the only 3 NATO countries with nuclear weapons).  

[Dan 7:5 KJV] "5 And behold another beast, a second, like to a bear, and it raised up itself on one side, and it had three ribs in the mouth of it between the teeth of it: and they said thus unto it, Arise, devour much flesh."

Nuking of US will likely follow Henry Gruver's 1986 vision of a Russian nuclear attack upon USA.

It will be at least 7 nukes, 3 East Coast USA, 4 West Coast USA.

Nuked sites  in N. America are likely NYC, Washington DC, Miami, Seattle, San Francisco, LA, & San Diego.

https://youtu.be/tj23b8LyTx8?list=PLoA7Hce5FJFcyB6tncAuTbFOsI8dWTU_Q

The nuking of USA, UK, and France is likely also WW3, per Rev. 6:7-8, where 2 billion people are dead or dying in a war lasting 24 hours.

[Rev 6:7-8 KJV] "7 And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see. 8 And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth."

Next after that is the rise of the AntiChrist for 7 year.

Next is Post Tribulation Pre-Wrath Rapture of True Christians (ie. Born Again children of God, and who have well established a deep, intimate, lovingly obedient relationship with Jesus Christ as their God, LORD, Messiah, Saviour, King, and friend).

If you need help becoming a True Christian (rather than luke-warm Christian with favorite sins, or non-Christian), here is the help you need:

https://et-manitoulin.blogspot.com/2019/12/gods-26-commandments-for-christians.html

In John 14:15, Jesus said: "If you love Me, keep My commandments."

Psalm 83 War Climax, next WW3

 At dawn on Feb. 28, 2026 the Israeli and US military started their premptory strikes against Iran.

Does this make Israel and USA the evil, war mongering aggressors?

Amir Tsarfati responded to this likely allegation.  The war with Iran was inevitable, it was only a question of when.  He stated that Iran can simultaneously launch many hundreds of missiles at Israel, which would overwhelm their anti-missile defense systems, thereby putting many Israelis at risk.

Instead, for Israel to do a preemptive strike in the morning enabled them to catch Iran by surprise, as they expected any attack to be during the night.  Iranian leaders came out of their night time protective bunkers, started their day as usual, then Blamo!, they got hit.

Iran will be hit hard, but likely Israel will be bloodied in the process too.  Iran has sleeper cells of terrorists everywhere, so as Iran runs amok, they will try to launch death everywhere.

Next, is WW3, likely on March 3rd, or March 19, 2026.

USA, UK, and France will likely receive the opening salvos from Russia, China, and N. Korea per Daniel 7:5 and Rev. 6:7-8; and it will be nuclear.  Within 24 hours, 2 billion people will be dead or dying.

Are You A True Christian?

I estimate that only 0.5% of those who self-declare as "Christian" are Born Again, with a deep, intimate lovingly obedient relationship with Jesus Christ as their God, LORD, Messiah, Saviour, King, and friend; and gotten all iniquity out of their lives with the strength and guidance of the Holy Spirit.

The other 99.5% of so-called Christian are trapped in one or more of the following evils:

• have no deep, intimate lovingly obedient relationship with Jesus Christ; &/or
• members of pseudo-Christian cults that follow false doctrine, &/or 
• have favorite sins that they regularly practice, &/or 
• are workers of iniquity, and/or 
• are deceived, as they aren't really saved, &/or 
• have ship wrecked their faith and abandoned ship, &/or 
• are wolves in sheep's clothing.

All of these are at great risk; they assume they are protected under God, but in reality they are quite distant from God.  

If they die in their sins, they are doomed to the Lake of Fire, where there is no rest, neither day nor night, but torment and burning for ever & ever; there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

If you are in this 99.5% pseudo-Christian category (or if you are unsure), I beseech you to take immediate corrective steps to save your soul.

For 63 years, I didn't realize that I was a pseudo-Christian, a luke-warm Christian, likely similar to you today.

Then, in Feb. 2017, my wife & I decided to read the Bible, cover to cover, for the first time.

When we reached the Book of John Chapter 3, we read about Jesus speaking to Nicodemos:

[Jhn 3:1-3 KJV] "1 There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: 2 The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him. 3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God."

Even though I was christened as a baby, confirmed at age 13, and a Christian for 63 years, I knew nothing about "Born Again".

That is when I realized that, for 63 years I had been a luke-warm, half baked Christian.  I finally understood my many decades of sins & errors.  We  chose to immediately do something about it; by becoming Born Again Christians.

God loves you, and all of His creation.  God wants you to be a part of His loving family for all eternity.

Unfortunately, I sense there are many so-called Christians (like me for 63 years) who are in terrible danger, but they don't realize it.

We are all sinners, and everybody occasionally sins, but only ~0.5% of Christians usually try to meet all of God's expectations.

The other 99.5% of so-called Christians have favorite sins, chronically rebelling against God; as they are luke-warm at best, or backslidden, or hypocrites, or wolves in sheep's clothing.  

If they refuse to change their lifestyle of chronic, favorite sins; or if they have only a passing aquaintance with Jesus; or if they don't have a deep, intimate, lovingly obedient relationship with Jesus; then they won't make it to heaven.  Instead, God will judge them, find them guilty, then throw them into the Lake of Fire, where they will have no rest, neither day nor night, but suffer burning & torment for ever & ever, with gnashing of teeth & weeping.

The greatest danger isn't from the government, nor terrorists, nor criminals, nor war.

The greatest danger humans face are incorrect assumptions.

Jesus saw the same erroneous assumptions in His day, and strongly warned the Pharisees and the people.  The Pharisees & most others thought they understood the scriptures (they didn't), and they thought they were made righteous by all their religious rituals (they weren't).

Here is what I understand God expects from those seeking salvation, and eternal life of love, joy, peace, and fulfillment:  

I fear God, for this is the beginning of wisdom, gives God pleasure, is my duty, is clean, is a fountain of life, enables my escape from the snares of death, is necessary to serve God acceptably, and endures forever.  I learn to know God through reading His Word in the Holy Bible, for if I diligently seek Him, I know I will find Him; for this leads to eternal life, is worthy of boasting, enables me to stand firm & take action, prevents my destruction, and is learned by contemplating all of His creation and His Word.  I believe in God and His Son, Jesus Christ, who is fully God and fully man. The wages of sin is death.  I believe Jesus willingly died for the sins of all humans, paying the price for all the sins of those who truly believe in Him, and His teachings, and follow Him.  I believe that in spite of living a life without sin, Jesus Christ was hated, mocked, persecuted, falsely accused, convicted, beaten, whipped, and crucified to death; was buried 3 days, then rose again, and sits on the right side of God The Father in Heaven, and will come again to judge the living and the dead.

I love God with all my heart, mind, soul, and strength.  I love all other humans, as I love myself.  I forgive all the trespasses of others, and hold no bitterness.  I decided that Jesus Christ is my God, LORD, Messiah, Saviour, King, and friend.

I humbly & contritely confess all my sins to God; and to each other. I forsake all my previous self-righteousness.  I decided to let my old sinful self, a child of Satan, to spiritually die off; so that I can be spiritually Born Again as a loving, obedient child of God.  I got  baptized by full water immersion in the name of God The Father, His Son Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. I prayed for & received the fiery baptism of the Holy Spirit. With the help of the Holy Spirit, I chose to hate all sin, just as God hates all sin, and love all things that God loves. I got all iniquity (ie. willful, premeditated or chronic sin) out of my life. I trust in God's promises that He will ensure that no temptation exceeds what I can resist, and God will ensure there is always an avenue of escape from all sin & temptation; therefore there is no valid excuse for my sinning. I speak to myself in psalms, hymns, and spiritual song, making melody in my heart to the Lord.  I humble & forsake myself and my fleshy desires by picking up my cross daily and following Jesus,  becoming a fisher of men, sharing my testimony and preaching the Gospel to every creature.  I resist &/or flee from temptation & sin, do good works, be the salt of the Earth, and a light to the world; all for the greater glory of God. I believe in, manifest, guard, and promote with others the Fruit of the Holy Spirit:   faith, longsuffering, patience, meekness, gentleness, temperance, goodness, righteousness, godliness, joy, peace, truth, and love.  I watch! while I occupy until He comes.  I developed an intimate, lovingly obedient relationship with Jesus Christ by reading the Bible every day, praying continuously,  meditating on God's word every day, fellowshiping with other Christians, worship and praise God & do holy communion on a regular basis.  When I fail, I stop quickly, confess & repent my sins, then pray for God's help to strengthen me so as to better resist all same & similar sins in the future.

If one or more of these results don't fully manifest, this likely means:

  

1)  you have deceived yourself, and didn't truly believe all that you claimed, so you were never saved; 

or  

2)  you were saved previously, but have subsequently backslidden, &/or shipwrecked your faith (see 1 Tim.1:18-20), and are now in great danger of losing your salvation.  You must take immediate corrective action to recover, and gain the joy of your salvation (see Psalm 51:11-12).

That is when I am truly safe, and have the peace that comes with my assurance of salvation.  

For Bible references that prove the truth of all the above, and give help on how to implement, see:   "God's 26 Commandments for Christians", a summary of 300+ Bible verses, arranged into 26 commandments.

Iran receives Ultamatum

This news item was posted on Feb. 22, 2026 where the USA gives Iran an ultimatum of 48 hrs to deliver its framework for an agreement.  That likely means a deadline of Feb. 24, 2026. 

https://t.me/beholdisraelchannel/69080

I note that Mar. 3 (Blood Moon eclipse, 3rd part of a Tetrad of Blood Moons for the last 3 years at Purim).  Purim is Jewish festival based on foiling the Persian plot attempting to kill all Jews in a genocide in 473 BC.

Oman’s Foreign Minister, Badr Albusaidi, announced that US–Iran negotiations are set to take place in Geneva this Thursday (Feb. 26th, 2026), noting there is “a positive push to go the extra mile towards finalizing the deal,” in a post on X.

https://t.me/beholdisraelchannel/69084

However, I suggest the US-Iran negotiations will likely fail, so it goes to war.  

Shia Islamist would rather die than to give in to USA or Israel.  They would be eager to kill a million of their own people as a noble sacrifice, as they believe that by bringing on Armageddon, they enable the rise of their Islamic Saviour, The Mahdi, who will spread Islam all over the Earth: convert to Islam, or die.

If Iran is attacked. they have promised to use their  thousands of missiles against Israel, US military bases, and others the Iranians don't like in the region (ie. Scorched earth, Run Amok, Murder-Suicide, etc.).

This is likely described by Daniel 11:1-4.  

The "I" speaking below in Verse 1, is an Angel of God, visiting Daniel, to strengthen him, and inform him.  

The king in Verse 3 is likely President Donald Trump in 2026.

[Dan 11:1-4 KJV] "1 Also I in the first year of Darius the Mede, even I, stood to confirm and to strengthen him. 2 And now will I shew thee the truth. Behold, there shall stand up yet three kings in Persia; and the fourth shall be far richer than they all: and by his strength through his riches he shall stir up all against the realm of Grecia. 3 And a mighty king shall stand up, that shall rule with great dominion, and do according to his will. 4 And when he shall stand up, his kingdom shall be broken, and shall be divided toward the four winds of heaven; and not to his posterity, nor according to his dominion which he ruled: for his kingdom shall be plucked up, even for others beside those."

So it doesn't sound good for USA.

Dr. Robert Mawire, End Times Prophet of God,   gave a prophecy at the Houston Prayer Breakfast for Jerusalem in Feb. 2023, that Tel Aviv will be nuked at some point in End Times.  

So it doesn't sound good for Israel, either.

I suggest that during or soon after the US' attack of Iran, coming soon in Feb.-Mar. 2026, this is likely when this Tel Aviv prophecy will likely occur.

That Middle East war will likely quickly expand to WW3.  

I suggest that on March 19, 2026 (ie. date of major planetary conjunctions, and the date sums to 68=3+19+20+26, like the start date of WW1, and WW2 and Russian-Ukraine War) is the likely Go dates for WW3.

WW3 will likely occur when Russia, China, and N. Korea nuke USA, UK, and France (the 3 ribs, the only NATO members with nuclear weapons).  This is prophesied in Daniel 7:5, with the bear being Russia, who is commanded to rise and devour much flesh.

[Dan 7:5 KJV] "5 And behold another beast, a second, like to a bear, and it raised up itself on one side, and it had three ribs in the mouth of it between the teeth of it: and they said thus unto it, Arise, devour much flesh."

The 3 ribs likely represent USA, UK, and France, as these are the only NATO countries that have nuclear weapons.

This WW3 is likely also described by a Dec. 14, 1986 prophecy by Henry Gruver, where he had a vision of a Russian nuclear attack upon USA.  It will be at least 7 nukes, 3 East Coast USA, 4 West Coast USA.  Nuked sites  in N. America are likely NYC, Washington DC, Miami, Seattle, San Francisco, LA, & San Diego.

https://youtu.be/tj23b8LyTx8?list=PLoA7Hce5FJFcyB6tncAuTbFOsI8dWTU_Q

Next, we have Daniel 7:6

[Dan 7:6 KJV] "6 After this I beheld, and lo another, like a leopard, which had upon the back of it four wings of a fowl; the beast had also four heads; and dominion was given to it."

This likely refers to the G4 Group (The "Four Amigos") at the United Nations, which is The group operates within the framework of the United Nations and advocates reform of the Security Council.

The four members are:

🇧🇷 Brazil

🇩🇪 Germany

🇮🇳 India

🇯🇵 Japan

WW3 is also described in Revelation 6:7-8 as the 4th Seal opening, when 2 billion people will be dead or dying within 24 hours.  See the attached timeline.

Estimated Timeline for God's End Times.  Click on image to see full size.

And finally, we have the rise of the AntiChrist in Dan. 7:7-88

[Dan 7:7-8 KJV] "7 After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns. 8 I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things."

The little horn is the AntiChrist, who likely overpowers 3 of the G4 members, and then the 4th capitulated, and the AntiChrist grabbed power as the evil Dictator over all the Earth.

Recommendations

Time is short!

Confess, repent, forgive all others, establish a deep, intimate, lovingly obedient relationship with Jesus Christ as your God, LORD, Messiah, Saviour, King, and friend; before it's too late, and you die in your sins.

For help achieving these recommendations, see:

May God have mercy on your soul.  Amen.

End Times are Beginning

###   Begin Update #2 2025-11-19 16:20 hrs   ###

Since the Ukranian-Russia war began in January 2022, Russia has repeatedly warned USA that sending long-range weapons to Ukraine would escalate tensions between Russia & USA, risking escalation of the war.

USA's ATACMS missiles (Army Tactical Missile System) were supplied to Ukraine in 2023 by President Biden, but restricted to only being used against military forces attacking Ukraine, while the enemy is on Ukraine's pre-war territory.  Due to this weapon system's complexity, USA troops are the ones responsible to identifying potential targets, programming the target co-ordinates into the missile, and launching the missiles at Russia.

Hence, USA is highly involved.  UK and France have done similarly with their missile systems they supplied to Ukraine.

On 2025-11-19, four ATACMS missiles were fired from Ukraine's territory, aimed at the southern Russian city of Voronezh, according to Moscow’s defense ministry.  While all missiles were shot down, the falling debris damaged civilian residences in Russia (ie. a retirement home, an orphanage, and one house).

That attack prompted Russia's President Vladimir Putin to authorize a retaliatory strike against Ukraine, using Russia's new hypersonic ballistic missile, which  destroyed a munitions center in Dnepropetrovsk in central Ukraine. This is the first time that this brand new, conventionally armed Oreshnik missile was deployed in combat. It delivers several warheads at Mach-10 speed, either conventional or nuclear, so there is no air defense against such weapon.

Putin said that the 3-year proxy war in Ukraine has now reached a global dimension, meaning it is no longer a proxy war; as US, UK, French, and other NATO troops are now directly involved in the attacks against Russia.

### End Update #2   ###

###   Begin Update #1 2025-11-17 22:41 hrs   ###

The USA's resolution on Gaza at UN Security Council was backed by 13 countries - including the UK, France and Somalia - with none voting against the proposal. 

Amir Tsarfati said "... the proposal strips Hamas of the international status that terror organizations fight for over many years. Hamas is not defined as a party, not as a partner, and not as a political actor with any role. A diplomatic document at the highest level presents it [Hamas] as a problem to be solved, not as an entity that must be accommodated. For an organization that spent years trying to portray itself as a legitimate governing authority, this is a strategic loss whose significance cannot be overstated." 

https://t.me/beholdisraelchannel/65523

Note that Russia and China abstained.

Both Russia & China expressed strong reservation against Trump's plan, but I fear that Sun Tzu's "Art of War" logic brought their abstentions to the vote:

Sun Tzu: "Never interrupt your opponent while he is in the middle of making a mistake."

It appears we will quickly move to Two State Solution, and "peace & safety", thereby enabling sudden destruction.

Likely 24 days to go, ending on Dec. 11th, 2025.

###   End Update #1   ###

The last 7 years are about to begin.

The US 🇺🇸 called for a vote on their Gaza UNSC draft resolution, and it has been scheduled for Monday November 17 at 5 pm NY time.

This is where the world, via UNSC, attempts to divide God's lands, that He has given to Israel.  

Not a smart move, to defy God, to go against the apple of God's eye, His chosen people; Israel.

In spite of the tight relationship between Trump & Netanyahu, Israel stands defiant, resisting a "Two State Solution", which suggests Israel should give up a major part of Israel's land so that the Palestinians have a homeland.

There is only one Jewish state, but dozens of Muslim States, dozens of Arabic states.  But Hamas and their supporters want to totally destoy & eliminate the one Jewish state, and kill all Jews.

God will not allow that to happen, so I caution all those that support that sinful, crazy idea.

I hate nobody.  I try to love every human, just as God loves all of His creation.  All of us must stop sinning against God, humbly confess & repent our past sins.

Wasn't that idea of Two State Solution, already tried with Gaza, with terrible results, breeding a nation of terrorists (Gaza), run by Hamas (also terrorists), that want to kill every Jew on planet Earth?

Do we really need to try that dysfunctional idea one more time?

The UNSC wrangling with Russia Vs. USA may add some delay, maybe as long as Dec. 8?  Then a 3 day warning, putting "sudden destruction" on Dec. 11, 2025?  12+11+20+25= 68, just like WW1, WW2, Russia-Ukraine War all add to 68.

The Escalation

"November 21, 2024, will go down in Russian military history as the date of the first real combat deployment of the legendary and feared Strategic Rocket Forces of the Russian Federation (RVSN).


Created in Soviet times, the RVSN is the independent branch of the Russian Armed Forces responsible for the arsenal of intercontinental ballistic missiles, literally the “troops of the apocalypse” – responsible for firepower capable of causing a global catastrophe. Of course, the RVSN was involved in all the major nuclear tensions of the Cold War, including the Cuban Missile Crisis and the Norwegian Incident. Although it has remained on high combat alert several times, no actual military engagement has occurred until now."

Strategic Rocket Forces of the

Russian Federation (RVSN).

https://t.me/strategic_culture/4243

That escalation is coming up to its second aniversary.  

What's the next escalation?

Likely the next escalation was the recent use of Russia's hyper speed missiles.

The 3rd escalation is likely described by the Bible's Book of Daniel 7:5 prophesies of the bear being commanded to rise, with 3 ribs in his mouth, to devour much flesh. I believe the 3 ribs represent USA, UK, and France; the only three NATO countries with nuclear weapons.

The rising of the bear (Russia), is likely described by 1 Thes. 5:3, with sudden destruction, WW3, all over in 1 hr., with 2 billion people dead or dying.

Based on the following prophecy, this UNSC vote may invoke "peace & safety", then sudden destruction comes soon thereafter.

End Times Prophet & Their Prophecy

Julie, I believe, is another End Times Prophetess of God, posted her latest:

https://iamcallingyounow.blogspot.com/2025/11/run-to-secret-place-bridal-chamber-now.html?m=1

I think this discusses people who get "holy" for an hour or few days, then they return to their favorite sin, then come back to Jesus once again, looking for cleansing once again, through temporary obedience and righteous attitude.

Instead, Jesus prefers consistent obedience, rather than running hot, then cold,  then hot again.

Other interpretations?

Time is very short.  Now is the time to get yourself holy, without spot or wrinkle.

We all need an intimate, lovingly obedient relationship with Jesus Christ as your God, LORD, Messiah, Saviour, and friend.

For my Jewish friends, now is the time to consider your candidates for Messiah:

• Jesus Christ, Son of God Almighty, the light of the world.
• AntiChrist, Son of Satan, the Father of lies, who seeks to decrive, kill, & destroy

Hopefully, the choice is clear.

My Conclusions & Recommendations

God loves you, and all of His creation.  God  wants you to be a part of His loving family for all eternity.

Unfortunately, I sense there are many so-called Christians who are in terrible danger, but they don't realize it.

We are all sinners, and everybody occasionally sin, but only ~0.5% of Christians usually try to meet all of God's expectations.

The other 99.5% of so-called Christians chronically rebel against God; as they are luke-warm at best, or backslidden, or hypocrites, or wolves in sheep's clothing.  If they refuse to change their lifestyle of chronic, favorite sins; then they won't make it to heaven.  Instead, God will judge them, find them guilty, then throw them into the Lake of Fire, where they will have no rest, neither day nor night, but suffer burning & torment for ever & ever, with gnashing of teeth & weeping.

The greatest danger isn't from the government, nor terrorists, nor criminals, nor war.

The greatest danger Christians face are incorrect assumptions.

Jesus saw the same erroneous assumptions in His day, and strongly warned the Pharisees and the people.  The Pharisees & most others thought they understood the scriptures (they didn't), and they thought they were made righteous by all their religious rituals (they weren't).

Here is what I understand God expects from those seeking salvation:  

Fear God, for this is the beginning of wisdom, and pleases God.  Know God through reading His Word in the Holy Bible, for this is worthy of boasting.  Believe in God and His Son, Jesus Christ, who is fully God and fully man. The wages of sin is death.  Jesus willingly died for the sins of all humans, paying the price for all the sins of those who truly believe in Him, and His teachings, and follow Him.  Love God with all your heart, mind, soul, and strength.  Love all other humans, as you love yourself.  Forgive all the trespasses of others, and hold no bitterness.  Decide that Jesus Christ is your God, LORD, Messiah, Saviour, and friend.  Humbly & contritely confess all your sins to God; and to each other.  Choose to hate all sin, just as God hates all sin, and love all things that God loves.  Decide to let your old sinful self, a child of Satan, to spiritually die off; so that you can be spiritually Born Again as a loving, obedient child of God.  Get baptized by full water immersion in the name of God The Father, His Son Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit.  Pray for & receive the fiery baptism of the Holy Spirit. Get all iniquity (ie. willful, premeditated or chronic sin) out of your life. Trust in God's promises that He will ensure that no temptation exceeds what you can resist, and God will ensure there is always an avenue of escape from all sin & temptation; therefore there is no valid excuse for sinning. Speak to ourselves in psalms, hymns, and spiritual song, making melody in our hearts to the Lord.  Humble & forsake yourself and your fleshy desires by picking up your cross daily and following Jesus,  becoming a fisher of men, sharing your testimony and preaching the Gospel to every creature.  Resist &/or flee from temptation & sin, do good works, be the salt of the Earth, and a light to the world; all for the greater glory of God. Believe in, manifest, guard, and promote with others the Fruit of the Holy Spirit:   faith, longsuffering, patience, meekness, gentleness, temperance, goodness, righteousness, godliness, joy, peace, truth, and love.  Watch! while we occupy until He comes.  Develop an intimate, loving, obedient relationship with Jesus Christ by reading the Bible every day, praying continuously,  meditating on God's word every day, fellowshiping with other Christians, worship and praise God & do holy communion on a regular basis.  When you fail, stop quickly, confess & repent your sins, then pray for God's help to strengthen yourself so as to better resist all same & similar sins in the future.

That is when you are truly safe.

High Watch Aug. 3-23, 2025.

Oct. 7, 2023 was the start date for Hamas' attempt at genocide against the Jews; resulting in Psalm 83 War, which is still ongoing.

Oct. 7th had celestial alignments that suggested the start of this evil (see "Supernatural by Design" YouTube channel).

Add 666 day (an ominous number associated with Satan, we reach Aug. 3, 2025; which is also Tisha B'av, or the 9th of Av, the historical  day of calamity for all Jews.

For example, both the 1st Temple in 586 BC, destruction of the 2nd Temple in 70 AD, the expulsion of all Jews from England in 1290 AD, the expulsion of all Jews in Spain in 1492, start of WW1 in 1914 AD, beginning of mass deportations from the Warsaw Ghetto in 1942, opening of the Treblinka Nazi concentration camp in 1942 AD; and many other historical tragedies for Jews.

This may also soon be a day of calamity for USA.

President Donald Trump said on  Monday July 14, 2025 that the US will implement severe tariffs on Russia if President Vladimir Putin doesn’t agree to a ceasefire deal with Ukraine within 50 days (deadline:  Tues Sept. 2, 2025)

https://www.wvva.com/2025/07/14/trump-meet-nato-secretary-general-plan-takes-shape-ukraine-weapons-sales/

Will Putin wait for Trump's deadline, then act?  Or will Putin react after just 20 days (Aug. 3, 2025)?

On July 28, 2025 Trump announced a revised deadline for Russia of just 10 to 12 more days (reduced from previous 50 day deadline) due to the lack of progress. 

https://t.me/MTodayNews/36860

July 28 +10 days is Aug. 7th, while plus 12 days is Aug. 9th.

Sudden Destruction?

On July 28, 2025, 147 nations, including 90 major powers, will convene at the UN in New York for an International Conference, defying God's eternal covenant with Israel. Under the guise of "peace and safety," they’ll push a two-state solution, attempting to divide God's land.

[Joel 3:2 KJV] "2 I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land."

Now is when all the Nations try to divide God's land away from Israel, defying God as prophesied in the first part of Joel 3:2;  likely because these sinful, disobedient nations think they know better than God.

About 7 years from now, God will summon all those same Nations to the Valley of Jehoshaphat for the Battle of Armageddon, as prophesied in Joel 3:2, so as to receive the final judgment and vengence of the LORD GOD ALMIGHTY.

You can watch the world destroy itself, one speech after another, here:

https://www.youtube.com/live/Xe40FlXFkCY?si=wL0ZDtR9A2fS4uya

Note that the "State of Palestine" is now recognized by the majority of countries of the world. 

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_recognition_of_Palestine

It wasn't always so.  It started as a bold declaration by the Arab League forming the Palestinian Liberation Organization ("PLO") in 1964, then the PLO started its terrorism against Israel to achieve its goals of killing all Jews, destroy Israel, and take all of Israel's land.  By terrorism, lies, and other evils, it has slowly spread its propaganda, like slime mold.  Today 75% of the UN members recognize Palestine as a bona fide state.

A seven year delay in rendering justice  isn't "sudden".  Therefore, God has prophesied other verses too.  For the Bible says: 

[1 Thessalonians 5:3 KJV] "3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. 

This Bible verse likely applies to those cursed by God, for going against Israel.

But what about the remnant of God's people who continue to bless Israel?

Continuing on, the Bible gives us faith, peace, and hope for True Christians, who seek to fully obey God with a loving heart, including the ongoing blessing of Israel:  

[1 Thessalonians 5:4-11 KJV] "4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. 5 Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. 6 Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober. 7 For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night. 8 But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation. 9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, 10 Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him. 11 Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do."

Planetary Alignments

Jupiter, representing Satan, is currently in the constellation Gemini.  Gemini represents USA, &/or Jacob and Esau; the two sons of Abraham.

On or about Aug. 1st, Venus, representing Israel, enter the constellation Gemini. Jupiter and Venus are in close proximity for Tisha B'av (9th of Av).  On Aug. 12th, Jupiter and Venus enter into a conjunction.  This is likely a bad omen for USA &/or Israel.

Conjunction of Venus and Jupiter
on Aug. 12, 2025, right between
the Gemini Twins.

Deadly sum

Aug. 15, 2025 adds to 68 (8+ 15+20 +25= 68), just the same as the start dates of WW1 and WW2 add to 68, so this may be the start of WW3:

[Daniel 7:5 KJV] "5 And behold another beast, a second, like to a bear, and it raised up itself on one side, and it had three ribs in the mouth of it between the teeth of it: and they said thus unto it, Arise, devour much flesh."

The bear is likely Russia.  The three ribs in the bear's mouth are likely the USA, UK, and France, as these are the 3 nuclear powers of NATO).

Per Daniel 7:5, when the Bear (likely aided by the Big Red Dragon China, and the Little Red Dragon N. Korea) attack the 3 ribs with nukes (see Henry Gruver's prophecy here:  https://youtu.be/tj23b8LyTx8?list=PLoA7Hce5FJFcyB6tncAuTbFOsI8dWTU_Q

resulting in 2 billion people dead or dying within 24 hours.

Mars enters Virgo on July 29, and is still there on Aug. 15th; where Mars represents War.

Virgo likely represents Israel, so this has a likely doubling down on current Psalm 83 War still ongoing, and may add Israel to the Daniel 7:5 prophecy; either as the root cause (or contributing factor) of WW3, or another collateral damage victim of WW3.

Muslims Attack Israel?

Once USA is destroyed, the Muslim hordes may simultaneously attack Israel en masse with total abandonment of reason, and over-run her.  If they do this, (and once USA is weakened, I suggest it's highly plausible), this will then cause God to step in to save her, just as the Bible prophesies.

All the above are the precursors for the rise of the AntiChrist as the evil Dictator over all the Earth.

Therefore, I declare a High Watch period for Aug. 3-23, 2025.

God's Expectations for His Children

According to the Bible, here is what God expects from those seeking salvation:

Fear God, for this is the beginning of wisdom.  Know God through reading His Word in the Holy Bible.  Believe in God and His Son, Jesus Christ, who is fully God and fully man.  The wages of sin is death. Jesus willingly died for the sins of all humans, paying the price for all our sins for those who truly believe in Him, and His teachings; and follow Him.  Love God with all your heart, mind, soul, and strength.  Love all other humans, as you love yourself.  Forgive all the trespasses of others, and hold no bitterness against them.  Decide that Jesus Christ is your God, LORD, Messiah, Saviour, and friend. Humbly & contritely confess all your sins to God.  Choose to hate all sin, just as God hates all sin, and love all things that God loves.  Decide to let your old sinful self, a child of Satan, to spiritually die off; so that you can be spiritually Born Again as a loving, obedient child of God.  Get baptized by full water immersion in the name of God The Father, His Son Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit.  Pray for & receive the fiery baptism of the Holy Spirit.  Get all iniquity (ie. willful, premeditated or chronic sin) out of your life.  Trust in God's promise to never allow temptation to exceed what you can resist, and to ensure that there will always be an avenue of escape from sin and temptation; therefore there is no valid excuse to sin. Humble & forsake yourself and your fleshy desires by:  picking up your cross and following Jesus, becoming a fisher of men, sharing your testimony and preaching the Gospel to every living creature.  Resist &/or flee from temptation & sin, do good works, be the salt of the Earth, and a light to the world; all for the greater glory of God.  Watch! while we all occupy until He comes.  Develop an intimate, loving, obedient relationship with Jesus Christ by reading the Bible every day, praying continuously, obeying God's commandments, meditating on God's word every day, fellowshipping with other Christians, worshiping and praising God with Holy Communion on a regular basis.  When you fail, stop quickly, confess & repent your sins, then strengthen yourself so as to better resist all same & similar sins.

That is when you are truly safe, as a loving, obedient child of God.

High Watch April 11-20, 2025 Rev.2

***   Update #2 2025-4-21 1:27 pm   ***

At 1:30 AM EDT, on 2025-4-21 (just 1.5 hrs outside my High Watch window, Pope Francis died.

Jerod, at Supernatural by Design suggested some major, yet unknown event, on or about April 19th, so maybe he was more correct than I.

https://youtu.be/H4_GQ5ts3qY?si=MUYtXl-bEUPrbwjw

Either way, we still wait for the start of WW3  sneak attack by Russia-China-N. Korea vs. USA-UK-France.

I will soon set June 1, 2025 as a new High Watch end date, the absolute last possible date (as I understand God's calendar), but suspect May 2025 as the more likely start of this 1 day long nuclear war.

***   End Update #2   ***

***   Update #1 2025-04-14 Begin  ***

My original high watch period was Apr. 11-13, 2025.

Some events occurred (ie. US-Iran talks on de-nuclearization of Iran on Apr. 12th), but God's cake is still in the oven, not yet fully baked.

Jarad, of Supernatual By Design YouTube Channel, another Watchman, shared on 2025-04-13, the following 33 min. video:

https://youtu.be/HMMWQdBCnBQ?si=QY4DseaTn5aTUovs

"Iran's 40-Week Nuclear Prophecy Revealed"

In it, he reveals that it was 40 weeks from the Oct. 7 2023 attack on Israel by Hamas, to the assassination attempt on Trump at Butler, PA USA.

Secondly, from the Trump assassination attempt to the end of Passover-Unleavened Bread on Saturday April 19, 2025 is another 40 weeks.

Rather than the beginning of Passover, it appears I should have patiently waited for the end of Passover.

Therefore, I am extending the High Watch period till the end of Sunday April 20, 2025.

In this additional time, remember that we must have an intimate loving relationship with God.  

To me, that means we love the things God loves, and hate the things God hates.

That means we must hate all sins.  

Neither praying for X minutes every day, nor reading Y chapters of the Bible, nor Z hours preaching the Gospel to the unsaved; none of these buy us the right to do our favorite sins.

Most people have an extremely narrow view of what is defined as sin.  Don't be one of these deceived, self-righteous, and hypocritical people who love their favorite sins.

Instead, confess & repend EVERYTHING, while you still can.  Watch & look up until April 20th.

***   End Update #1 2025-04-14   ***

As a faithful Watchman on the wall, I call for a high watch period for April 11 - 13, 2025.

Likely Scenario

1. I suggest that likely on or soon after Apr. 10th to 13th, but no later than June 1st, 2025, USA &/or Israel will attack Iran (majority Shiite Muslim country, descendants of the Chaldeans and Persia, see the prophecy in Bible's Book of Habakkuk), and possibly others (Houthis, etc.)  that are threatening Israel. 
   
   
2. That pending attack on Iran will fully complete USA's strategic plan to overthrow 7 Muslim-majority countries in 5 years: Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Iran.  See US General Wesley Clark's 8 minute disclosure of the Pentagon's plans he discovered shortly after the 9/11 terrorist attack on New York:   https://youtu.be/fAnNJW9_KYA 
   
   
3. Instead of 5 years, that US strategic plan took 25 years to complete, but what's two additional decades among friends. 😁
   
   
4. USA was raised up by God to overcome Communism & Atheism; killers of 100 million, & oppressor of billions of people.  
   
   
5. It seems that quenching of the satanic, fanatic, death-cult, extreme jihad terrorism-based religion of Islam got added to the USA strategic agenda after Communism was significantly quenched.
   
   
6. Unfortunately, during the last 165 years, USA wandered away more & more from God, getting more & more full of themselves, greedy, lustful etc. (eg. USA was warned by God in 9/11, but USA kept going with CIA's Color Revolutions, Arab Spring, coup d'états, exporting evil culture rather than good, etc.) and is now almost as bad (ie. evil, rebellious against God and His commandments) as Communism used to be.
   
   
7. Soon after the terrorism-based Shiite Muslim hordes are suppressed, I suggest it will be time for the fall & cleansing of USA.  Unlike Nineveh, USA has so far refused to voluntarily do national confession & repentance, so Mystery Babylon (USA) will likely to be nuked by Russia-China-N. Korea per Dan. 7:5 (UK & France are likely the other 2 ribs), & per Henry Gruver's prophecy for WW3:  https://youtu.be/tj23b8LyTx8?list=PL...uTbFOsI8dWTU_Q
   
   
8. Shortly before, or soon after the nukes drop, a large number of the illegal aliens (and possibly some of the legal immigrants as sleeper agents and covert terrorists) that invaded the USA in the last decade or so are actually foreign agents, forming a 5th Column that will likely attack USA's infrastructure & people via terrorism everywhere. 
   
   
9. Russia & China will likely try to do a land invasion of Canada & USA, but God greatly curtails that excess.
   
   
10. With USA significantly weakened, 2 billion dead or dying, and the remnant people of the world in full panic and fear, it's time for the rise of the AntiChrist.

Supporting Evidence

This high watch alert period, and the sequence of events proposed above, is based on the following evidence:

1. Erin is a modern prophetess of God.  Her latest prophecy is: 
   http://sparrowcloud9.com/heaven-dreams-interpretations/the-tribulation/excerpt-from-dreams-questions-answered/full-dreams/dream-894/
   
   
2. Erin's prophecy came in on April 6th, saying "4 more steps".
   
   
3. I think this means 4 more days.  Apr. 6th + 4= Apr. 10, 2025.
   
   
4. Julie is an End Times prophetess of God.  Here latest prophecy encourages everybody to pray, get close to God, get all iniquity out of your life (including your favorite sins), and get squeaky clean, ready for what soon comes.  https://iamcallingyounow.blogspot.com/2025/04/jars-of-clay.html
   
   
5. Dr. Robert Mawire is an End Times Prophet of God.  His latest prophecy "Iran in End Times Prophecy" April 6, 2025  https://youtu.be/nkz_t6bCqwc
   
   
6. Saturday April 12, 2025 is Shabbat HaGadol 2025 / שַׁבָּת הַגָּדוֹל 5785 (The Great Shabbat) 🕍Shabbat HaGadol is the Shabbat immediately before Passover. It begins at sundown on Friday, 11 April 2025 and ends at nightfall on Saturday, 12 April 2025.
7. 
   
8. On April 13, 2024 Iran and their proxies launched "Operation True Promise 1".  This was the first time the Iranians had attacked Israel directly from Iranian soil.  Iran was retaliating to Israel's April 1, 2024 attack on the building next door to the Iranian embassy in Syria, in which Muhammad Reza Zahedi - who was the commander of the Syria and Lebanon sector of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards' Al-Quds Force - was killed.  In October 2024, the "True Promise 2" missile attack was carried out from Iranian territory onto Israel, in response to the assassination of Ismail Haniyeh on Iranian territory. (Ref:  https://t.me/beholdisraelchannel/52443 ).  Iranian officials are still toying with the idea of ​​"True Promise 3" - they promised it would happen.  The Iranians may make this an annual festival event, striking April 13, 2025. Iran is believed to have already fueled their liquid fuel rockets, with a corrosive fuel that cannot be de-fueled, and has a very limited shelf life once fueled, so they must be launched very soon. This may encourage Israel and USA to make a pre-emptory strike on Iran prior to the 13th, so as to destroy Iran's missiles on their launching pads.
   
   
9. Iran has developed and tested hypersonic missiles, such as the Fattah-1, which travels at Mach 5, and can thus evade the Iron Dome, David's Sling, Arrow, and other Israeli air defense systems that Israel has. https://www.cnn.com/2024/10/02/middleeast/iran-missiles-israel-defenses-intl-hnk-ml/index.html
   
   
10. U.S is mobilising from South Korea to Bahrain.  A significant airlift operation by U.S. Air Mobility Command (AMC) is underway, with at least 13 C-17A Globemaster III aircraft arriving at Osan Air Base, South Korea, in the last three days. Four have already departed for Isa Air Base, Bahrain, with sequential mission coding suggesting a coordinated transfer. The cargo remains unknown, but given recent tensions and Iran’s latest threats against U.S. and allied bases, including Diego Garcia and installations in Turkey and the Middle East, it’s highly likely that Patriot missile batteries, air-defense systems, and munitions are being moved to reinforce U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM).  This buildup comes at a critical moment, as the region braces for potential escalations. (Ref:  Voice from the East, and https://t.me/beholdisraelchannel/52445  Unconfirmed reports suggest the cargo includes advanced air defense systems — potentially Patriot missile batteries — being repositioned as the region braces for further escalation.  Ref:  https://t.me/beholdisraelchannel/52454
    
    
11. WSJ editorial: The Biden State Department and USAID  transferred tens of millions of dollars, directly and indirectly, to Israeli NGOs working to bring down the Netanyahu government. https://t.me/beholdisraelchannel/52456  This is US' Deep State and prior Administration attempting to curse Israel, thus bringing a bible prophesied curse upon USA.
    
    
12. 🇺🇸 and 🇮🇷 will soon begin a war that will be meant to hide what is really happening to the world. Everything is being prepared and before this Passover, the world that we know today, may very well become a very different place.  Ref:   https://www.axios.com/2025/03/30/trump-iran-nuclear-deal-bombing and https://t.me/GodsRoadmap/2333
    
    
13. 
    World oil production, 1900-2019  https://youtube.com/shorts/MnuY9TP4l60  From 1900 to 2019, USA has lead the world in the total barrels of oil produced.  This is an important hegemony for USA, and they play for keeps.  Iran is one of the few players who resist and confront the USA on petro-dollar trades.  In the past, this rebellion has always resulted in a CIA sponsored coup, or US military action.  USA has imposed extreme sanctions on Iran.

18. The Shahab-3 (Persian: شهاب ۳, romanized: Šahâb 3; meaning "Meteor-3") is a family of liquid-fueled ballistic missiles developed by Iran, under the IRGC, and based upon the North Korean Nodong-1/A and Nodong-B missiles. The Shahab-3 family has a range of 1,000-2,000 kilometers (1,200 mi).  Ref:  https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shahab-3
    
    
19. Iran has started the second phase of construction at its Chabahar space launch facility, which will be dedicated to launching heavier semi-heavy liquid-fueled rockets,  Ref:  https://www.iranintl.com/en/202504012224 and https://www.iranintl.com/en
    
    
20. Iran, US to hold high-level talks on Saturday [Apr. 12, 2025].  Iran insist on indirect talks through a third party.  US wants direct talks, but has agreed to start here.  

    https://www.iranintl.com/en/liveblog/202504037301
    
    
21. On Mar. 5, 2025 President Trump sent a letter to Iran, giving them a 2 month deadline to achieve a nuclear weapons settlement, but if no settlement, then unilateral military action by USA to remove Iran's nuclear weapons program. At that time, Iran's fissionable materials were only at 60% purity, but need to be >95% for nuclear bomb making. That deadline presumably runs out May 5, 2025. Ref:  https://www.axios.com/2025/03/19/trump-letter-iran-nuclear-deal
    
    
22.  IAEC now reports that Iran has sufficient fissionable material to make up to 8 nuclear bombs. https://www.iranwatch.org/our-publications/articles-reports/irans-nuclear-timetable-weapon-potential
    
    
23. Food prices in Iran surged more than 70% in the past Iranian calendar year ending March 20 2025, a member of the country’s Food Committee at the Chamber of Guilds said, driven by soaring costs for packaging and transport.  Iran’s economic crisis has worsened across all sectors. The rial has hit a historic low, with US dollar being exchanged at 1,050,000 rials. Inflation continues to climb, making everyday goods unaffordable amid mis-governance and Donald Trump’s “maximum pressure” policy to intensify sanctions.  Over the past five years, tens of millions of Iranians have seen their living standards erode as wages fail to keep pace with soaring inflation. Today, the average worker earns roughly $120 per month, while official estimates suggest that a minimum of $500 is needed for the basic survival of a family of three. Food riots could overthrow the government, so war might avoid their overthrow. Ref:  https://www.iranintl.com/en/202503312814
    
    
24. Trump has imposed harsh trade tariffs on about 90 trade partners, de-stabilizing all trade routes, all businesses, and cost of living throughout the world.  This likely makes Trump and the USA to  be the enemy of almost everybody; thus driving the whole world closer to war.
    
    

My Recommended Solution

Whatever soon comes, you need to protect yourself and your family.  There is only one available protection strategy:

A lovingly obedient, intimate relationship with the One true God, the God of the Holy Bible, with Jesus Christ as your God, LORD, Messiah, Saviour, and friend.

Note that 99.5% of those who self-identify as "Christian", are actually just half-hearted luke-warm Christians, or not baptized by full water immersion in the name of the Trinity, or not truly Born Again, or hypocrites, or self righteous, or virtue signalers, or wolves in sheep's clothing, or don't have an intimate personal loving relationship with Jesus Christ, or worse; and are therefore not true Christians.  We know this, as we were in this deceiving & deceived category, as both my wife & I felt we were "good people" for 63 years.  

Then we woke up as we were reading the Bible from cover to cover, for the first time, in Feb. 2017.  We discovered we weren't Born Again, and therefore not allowed into Heaven.

We soon fixed that chronic problem of ours.  You can quickly fix these problems too.  

If we were comfortable being deceived for 63 years, maybe you are too?

I sense there are many Christians who are in terrible danger, and they don't realize it.

The greatest danger isn't from the government, nor terrorists, nor criminals, nor war.

The greatest danger Christians face are incorrect assumptions.

Jesus saw the same erroneous assumptions in His day, and strongly warned the Pharisees and the people.  The Pharisees & most others thought they understood the scriptures (they didn't), and they thought they were made righteous by all their religious rituals (they weren't).

To check your erroneous assumptions, use "God's 26 Commandments for Christians".  This is a quick summary of 300+ Bible verses that are key to the beliefs and actions of a true Christian.  To help you assess if you are a true, lovingly obedient Born Again Christian, where Jesus Christ will say "I know you", read the following:

https://et-manitoulin.blogspot.com/2019/12/gods-26-commandments-for-christians.html

Here's what to do:

1. Fear God, for this is the beginning of wisdom. 
   
   
2. Know God through reading His Word in the Holy Bible, and praying to God for wisdom. 
   
   
3. Believe in God and His Son, Jesus Christ, who is fully God and fully man.
   
   
4. Admit that:  A) the wages of sin is death.  B) Your so-called "good works" as a sinner are nothing but filthy rags when compared to the holiness of God, and in no way compensates for, nor pays for your past sins.  C) You cannot be saved by your "good works".  Cutting back on your current rate of sinning does not pay your debt to God for all your past sins.  D) You cannot save yourself, you must be saved through the finished work of Jesus Christ on His cross of crucifixion.  E) Jesus willingly died for the sins of all humans, including you, paying the price for all  our sins for those who truly believe in Him, and His teachings; and follow Him.
   
   
5. Love God with all your heart, mind, soul, and strength.
   
   
6. Love all other humans, as you love yourself. 
   
   
7. Forgive all the trespasses of others, and hold no bitterness against them.
   
   
8. Decide that Jesus Christ is your God, LORD, Messiah, Saviour, and friend.
   
   
9. Humbly & contritely confess all your sins to God.  Pray, and ask God for forgiveness, and to cleanse you.  
   
   
10. Choose to hate all sin, just as God hates all sin. 
    
    
11. Decide to let your old sinful self, a child of Satan, to spiritually die off; so that you can be spiritually Born Again as a loving, obedient child of God. 
    
    
12. Get fully water immersion baptized in the name of God The Father, Jesus Christ His only begotten Son, and the Holy Spirit, for the remission of sins.
    
    
13. Pray for, then receive the fiery baptism of the Holy Spirit as the down payment for your future adoption as a child of God.  The Holy Spirit will comfort you, reinforce your conscience, and help guide you forward to be more & more Christ-like each day.
    
    
14. Pick up your cross and follow Jesus, becoming a fisher of men, by sharing your testimony and preaching the Gospel to every living creature. 
    
    
15. Rely on God's promises that He will ensure no temptation exceeds what you can resist, and that God will ensure there is always an avenue to flee and escape.
    
    
16. Flee from temptation & sin, resist the Devil and all his works, lovingly do good works, be the salt of the Earth, and a light to the world; all for the greater glory of God.

That is when you are truly safe, with and through your loving intimate relationship with God.

Even if you have a million dollar underground bunker, you are not safe; unless you have an intimate loving relationship with the one true God, the God of the Bible, and His Son Jesus Christ.

P.S. I hate nobody.  I love everybody, including Muslims, and therefore give my testimony and preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ in a loving and compassionate manner to all Muslims, and all others, so that they can be saved too.
