Trump said to give Israel green light for strike on Hamas leadership in Qatar

Interesting development in the Middle East, Israel strikes inside Qatar targeting Hamas leadership. Unprecedented in modern times. Of course Jew haters are screaming loudly, let’s see what, if any is the fallout. This could be a defying moment in the Middle East. We will have to wait and see. I stand with Israel.

ControllingThe Narrative

Leftists and progressives know that what people believe to be true shapes and controls them, whether it is true or not. In other words, people are not controlled by truth – they’re controlled by what we believe to be true! Language shapes culture. Words influence thinking, thinking forms beliefs, beliefs create actions, and actions shape the culture. Pretty simple. 

Some have said that until you hear something over and over you never really grasp the concept of what you heard.  Rehearsing in your mind.  What you think, or believe becomes a part of you.  That is why the “mocking bird media” is so effective.  It takes a strong person to not believe what a vast majority of people may be saying repeatedly.  Some have even suggested that the Viet Nam war was ok in the minds of Americans, until Walter Cronkite began to speak out against it.  Interesting, but he was a trusted news source. Unfortunately the media makes it seem there is consensus, when there really isn’t.  There is only one truth.  The Word of God

  • Murder is bad; call it “abortion.” 
  • Riots are bad; call them “mostly peaceful” protests. 
  • Reverse racism is bad; call it “DEI – Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion”. 
  • Taking people’s hard-earned money is bad; call it “democratic socialism.” 
  • Defunding the police is bad (and stupid); call it “reallocating funds.”

The Scriptures confirm this. Consider the verse from Proverbs 23:7, which tells us that “as a person thinks within himself, so is he.” Some translations say that as a person thinks in his “heart,” so is he. The Hebrew word is nephesh, the word for “soul” – the mind, emotions, and will. As your soul thinks, so are you.  Opening our mind to dwell on the wrong ideas is a dangerous game to play.  Once that thought gets inside our mind, it can be difficult to turn away from it.  

Don’t misunderstand, I am not talking about positive thinking, but truly accepting that there is truth and it is the Word of God.  Thinking and putting Biblical principles in our mind makes a difference. (see scriptures below)

  2 Corinthians 10:5 Casting down arguments (thoughts) and every high thing (prideful; do our own thing) that exalts itself against the knowledge God for pulling down strongholds (thoughts become strongholds) they shape us and give us a habit that can destroy us.  Or at best we become double minded unable to discern good from evil.   

Romans 12:2 transformed by the renewing of our mind

Ephesians 4:23-24  be renewed in the spirit of your mind

  • That marriage doesn’t have to be between a man and woman; all that matters is love.
  • That marriage isn’t really necessary at all; just live together until the excitement ends, then find another mate. 
  • That children are a nuisance, an inconvenience, and unnecessary interruptions in one’s career.
  • That sin and Satan are fun, while God and righteousness are boring. 
  • That absolute truth doesn’t exist; all is relative and to be determined by ever-changing standards. And many more lies.

Educators in America have indoctrinated and poisoned the minds of a generation that there is no God. If there is no God or Creator, then there is no purpose, destiny, or design; all is by accident and happenstance. This allows one to believe their body is a mistake: they have the body of a male, when they’re actually a female trapped in the wrong body. Or vice versa. The answer? Go to work changing it: take pills to kill the male parts. Better yet, cut them off.

Don’t believe the lie.  Going against God’s order will only cause chaos and destruction for ourselves and our nation.  God bring back Godly values and a great move of the Holy Spirit to transform our nation before we go off the proverbial cliff.  

Trump & Qatar; What Could Go Wrong

Doha Strike: Israel Calls Out Qatar’s Hypocrisy, America Faces a Dividing Line

By Tania Curado Koenig – Koenig’s Eye View

Israel has crossed a new threshold: striking senior Hamas officials inside Doha, Qatar. Reports indicate Khalil al-Hayya’s entourage was targeted; Hamas confirms at least five dead, including his son, though top leaders survived. Doha condemned the strike as a violation of sovereignty.

But the truth is larger: Qatar has played both sides for years. On one hand, it styled itself as a “mediator” for peace; on the other, it bankrolled Hamas with billions of dollars, money that built the tunnels used to slaughter Israelis on October 7th. To pretend neutrality while financing jihad is the very definition of hypocrisy. Israel’s strike exposed that duplicity in front of the world.

Trump’s Circle: A 180-Degree Divide

Here is what most outlets will not say. Inside Trump’s camp, there is a split that runs 180 degrees. Some urge uncompromising clarity with Israel. Others have deep business and personal interests with Doha. That division explains the mixed signals now emerging around this strike.

At the center is Steve Witkoff. He is not just a mediator. He is a real estate developer whose empire was under major financial strain. And as it has been reported, Qatar’s sovereign wealth fund, the Qatar Investment Authority, purchased Witkoff and partners Park Lane Hotel in August 2023 for approximately $623 million that was near bankruptcy. That fact shadows his role. When a man whose finances were rescued by Doha now sits at the center of U.S. messaging to Qatar, it is legitimate to ask: whose interests come first?

This is not rumor; it is history. And it matters now because what is at stake is not just real estate, but whether America speaks with moral clarity or hedges its stance to protect business ties.

Israel’s Message: Mediation Cannot Mean Sanctuary

By striking Hamas leaders in Doha, Israel declared that mediation cannot be cover for sanctuary. The Middle East understands strength, not double games. For years, Doha’s open-door to Hamas gave it leverage. Israel just tore away that shield.

America’s Covenant Test

The question now is not just what Israel will do. It is what America will do. Will Trump stand without hesitation for Israel, or will the voices in his circle tied to Qatari interests prevail?

Genesis 12:3 is not suspended: “I will bless those who bless you, and him who curses you I will curse.” Nations and leaders rise or fall on that covenant word. If America blinks, if Trump turns his back at this decisive moment, the blessing attached to defending Israel will lift. That is not rhetoric; that is covenant.

The Bottom Line

– Qatar is exposed: financing Hamas while pretending to mediate.

– Trump’s camp is divided: 180 degrees apart, with some entangled in Qatari money.

– Israel is clear: no sanctuary for terror, even in Doha.

– The covenant still stands: Bless Israel and live under blessing; betray her and step into loss.

This strike is more than a military operation. It is a dividing line.

So here we are: Qatar weeps about sovereignty while counting the billions it poured into Hamas tunnels — and Washington debates whether real estate rescues and the beautiful $400 million airplane Trump received from the Qataris should shape U.S. policy. The covenant stands. Doha cries foul. Hamas cries martyrdom. The UN cries violation. Meanwhile, tunnels get built, hostages rot, and leaders in the West pretend it’s complicated. It isn’t. Bless Israel and live under blessing. Play games with Qatar — and see how that works out.

              Big Brother In Your Pocket

I don’t understand the fascination with AI.  Yeah, I’m old, but still it is hard enough just reading an article online to determine if it is true or not.  Everything I see or read or hear I try to find another source to make sure it’s accurate.  Paranoid isn’t it, or maybe safe.  

President Trump just had major American companies such as NVIDIA, Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Broadcom, and others (including Bill Gates?) at the White house for a meeting.  Trump seems to think, probably true, that AI is the future.  A central priority is ensuring that advanced computer chips are manufactured in the U.S., with massive federal and corporate investment.  That means our tax dollars will be used to enslave us through AI algorithms etc.

Even Melania is in on the push, introducing a new educational program designed to help young people learn and adapt to AI technologies. “I predict AI will represent the single largest growth category in our nation during this administration — and I won’t be surprised if AI becomes known as the greatest engine of progress in the history of the United States of America,” the first lady said Thursday. 

“But as leaders and parents, we must manage AI’s growth responsibly,” she added. “During this primitive stage, it is our duty to treat AI as we would our own children — empowering but with watchful guidance.” Amen to that

It seems the AI phenomenon has become almost an obsession. AI presents opportunities and dangers in equal measure.  We are already hearing of some AI programs beginning to self teach themselves.  That is a problem.  As a Christian I have deep concerns.

Below is an article from Bloomberg about another end of days topic of grave concern, that is coming and will eventually spread around the world.  Living in “Prophetic Times” anyone?

From Bloomberg: Government-led Digital ID Coming?

The UK government is advancing plans for a national digital identity system. The Office for Digital Identities and Attributes is leading a movement to “simplify access to government services” through a universal digital ID credential. 

Inspired by a similar focus in France by Emmanuel Macron, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer told his Cabinet recently that he is “exploring options” around the concept of a digital ID card that would make it harder for illegal immigrants to live and work in the country.

A similar proposal in 2010 was shut down by the UK government after an outcry because of its impact on civil liberties. One UK newspaper describes the program this way:

Under one option, anyone applying for a new job would be required to produce their digital ID to demonstrate that they have the right to live and work in the UK.

Similar provisions could also be introduced for those moving to new accommodation, making a benefit claim or accessing public services.

One of the proposed credentials is known as a “BritCard,” which downloads to a smartphone and verifies a citizen’s right to work and attain housing. Its goal is to reduce undocumented employment.

The EU is also making a similar push, with the European Digital Identity Wallet (EUDI Wallet) on track to roll out in 2026 for every member state. This will enable users to verify their identity, store credentials and use legally binding digital signatures while online.

Several large-scale pilot programs are testing use cases of these wallets for travel between countries as well as payments. Bank partners like Mastercard are partnering on the EUDI Wallet.

Other proposed uses of a digital ID would allow users over 18 to participate in online gambling or access adult content.

Any of these plans could end up being a privacy and security disaster.

What we do need are guarantees that today’s encryption protections would not be weakened with new legislation. That such an ID Wallet system cannot ever be re-purposed for wider user tracking.

Sadly, it looks like we aren’t there yet — and not only in the EU.

While the UK ID Wallet scheme is still very much in progress, digital rights advocates haven’t exactly welcomed the proposal, rebranding it as the “Big Brother in your pocket.”

Digital or otherwise, every step toward government tracking of civilians—including how they spend money—is a step toward the fulfillment of the Antichrist’s buying-and-selling system in Revelation.

Beijing’s Week of Power: A Parade, a Summit—and a Tableau That Looked Like a Preface to Armageddon

By Tania Curado Koenig

Dateline — Beijing/Tianjin (analysis)

President Xi Jinping used one concentrated week to fuse pageantry with power politics: a high-stakes Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit in Tianjin followed by the largest military parade modern China has staged, marking 80 years since the end of World War II. At the reviewing stand, Xi was flanked by Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong Un—as Iran’s new president Masoud Pezeshkian and a tier of Global South leaders looked on. The optics were unmistakable: a counter-Western alignment paraded down Chang’an Avenue. 

What exactly happened—and who was there:

– The SCO summit (Aug 31–Sept 1, Tianjin) drew Putin, India’s Narendra Modi, Turkey’s Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and others for bilateral huddles with Xi. The summit framed China’s pitch to lead a non-Western security/economic space.

– The parade (Sept 3, Beijing) was the capstone: China’s “biggest” Victory Day review to date, with more than two dozen heads of state/government in attendance. Putin and Kim were treated as guests of honor; Iran’s President Pezeshkian and numerous Eurasian leaders joined the tribunes. 

– Turkey’s posture: Erdoğan met Xi in Tianjin and conferred with Putin, but Ankara sent its foreign minister Hakan Fidan (and energy minister Alparslan Bayraktar) to the Beijing parade—symbolism that keeps Turkey’s options open while it remains a NATO member.

What Beijing chose to show the world

China spotlighted new hypersonic anti-ship missiles, ICBMs, autonomous undersea drones, and a triad of counter-drone defenses—missile gun, high-energy laser, and high-power microwave—plus expanded unmanned swarms and sea-denial systems. 

The message: anti-access/area-denial (A2/AD) is maturing across domains (air, sea, undersea, space, cyber). 

A striking—and strange—sidelight: a hot-mic moment in which Xi and Putin were heard musing about human longevity during the parade broadcast—a reminder that authoritarian theater can blur into millenarian aspiration. 

Why this looked (to many) like a living footnote to Ezekiel 38 and Revelation 16
Students of prophecy saw three pillars on display:

1. A consolidating bloc hostile to the West—China at the center, Russia sabre-in-hand, North Korea in tow; Iran present and vocal about a “new order”; Turkey maneuvering between camps. (Ezekiel’s “Gog of the land of Magog” and confederates; Revelation’s kings gathering toward the last conflict.) This week’s visuals supplied the most vivid contemporary iconography of that alignment to date.

2. Military-technological acceleration—hypersonics, lasers, and unmanned undersea systems that complicate Western and allied defenses. (Strategically, this narrows warning time, stresses missile defense, and threatens carrier groups and ports.)

3. Narrative warfare—China framed itself as custodian of an alternative world order, using history (WWII victory) and development rhetoric to rally Global South sympathies even as it flexed hard power. 

The theological note: Prophecy watchers should avoid over-precision—Scripture gives contours, not calendars. But the convergence of actors (Russia, a rising Eastern power bloc, Iran/Persia, and a vacillating Turkey) and the gathering logic of coalition warfare are now visible to the naked eye. 

What shifted geopolitically

– Signal of cohesion among autocracies: The Xi-Putin-Kim tableau—and Pezeshkian’s participation—advertised regime resilience and mutual backing under sanctions pressure. It also showcased China as convener-in-chief for a post-U.S. order.

– Pressure on U.S. alliances: India still hedges; Turkey keeps a foot in two worlds; Gulf and Central Asian states court Chinese capital. The SCO/BRI umbrella gives political cover for trade, energy, and arms linkages that reduce Western leverage.

– Hardware + doctrine: The anti-drone “triad,” hypersonics, and unmanned undersea systems align with China’s Taiwan and Western Pacific war-planning—but scale equally well to Middle East scenarios where swarms, lasers, and long-range fires would stress U.S.–Israel defense architecture. 

Where Turkey fits

Erdoğan’s presence at the SCO and his ministers’ attendance at the parade underscore Ankara’s transactional east-west balancing. It extracts energy and defense advantages while leveraging NATO status—an ambiguity that matters if a wider Eurasian conflict tests alliance commitments. 

Where Iran fits

Pezeshkian’s China trip foregrounded Tehran’s aim to break isolation through SCO channels and deepen China-Iran ties (energy, sanctions-proof finance, and security coordination). The optics beside Xi and Putin matter as much as any communiqué. 

Watch list (next 90 days)

1. Follow-on drills or deployments featuring the parade’s debut systems (hypersonics, lasers, naval drones).

2. SCO deliverables: energy corridors, currency settlement pilots, or defense-industrial MOUs announced post-summit.

3. Turkey’s next move: procurement or joint-production signals with China/Russia vs. NATO-aligned commitments.

4. Iran–China practicalities: shipping, insurance, and tech transfers that harden a sanctions-resistant network. 

Bottom line

Was this the march toward Armageddon? No one can claim that certainty. But as a preface, the week in China assembled many of the cast members and much of the choreography: a convening power (China), a belligerent partner (Russia), an erratic spoiler (North Korea), an ideologically fixed Iran, and a hedging Turkey—against a backdrop of weapons built to compress time and space in war. 

For those with eyes on both headlines and prophecy, Beijing just staged a rehearsal dinner.

Prophetic News Update

China, Russia, & N. Korea

We know all too well that Russia will be a big player in the end time events surrounding Israel in the Middle East. And we also know that China has been helping build different infrastructures throughout some of the moderate Middle Eastern Arab nations. China could also be the player that brings the 200 million man army across the dried up Euphrates river in the book of Revelation. North Korea is another despot that quite frankly no one knows how to deal with. With these three major players coming together in a show of strength and solidarity, no matter how fleeting it may be, is troubling not only for civilized countries, but it also sparks interest in prophetic events pertaining to the latter days.  Let us continue to be watchful and prayerful as we see possible prophetic events in the world playing out right before our eyes.  Rh See article below

Why Silicon Valley Will Talk About The Antichrist-But the Church Won’t

Please read the article below, it is a sign of the times we live in that Churches and Pastors will not preach on Biblical prophecy, but a tech billionaire with conflicting “spiritual” ideas would convene a private conference to talk about the anti-christ. When people search for truth, the Church must respond with Biblical truth not a hodgepodge of various unproven intellectual theories. Sign of the times! Rh

When a man like Peter Thiel announces a four-part lecture series on the Antichrist, it’s not just another tech mogul musing about the future–it’s a cultural moment. Thiel, the billionaire co-founder of PayPal and Palantir, investor in Facebook, and long-time power player in conservative politics, is no stranger to controversy. 

He’s been at Trump’s side as a trusted adviser, helping shape a recent executive order that critics warn opens the door to mass surveillance. He’s a contrarian’s contrarian: libertarian and conservative, gay and yet drawn to Christianity, immersed in Silicon Valley but increasingly fascinated by scripture.

Now, beginning September 15 at San Francisco’s Commonwealth Club, Thiel will deliver four off-the-record lectures on the Antichrist–closed-door, no transcripts, no recordings. Organized by the Acts 17 Collective, the talks promise to explore the “theological and technological dimensions” of this apocalyptic figure, drawing on everyone from René Girard to Carl Schmitt.  

A major lecture series in Silicon Valley touching on prophecy, AI, and even the concept of an Antichrist figure sold out almost instantly. Tech leaders and cultural influencers are lining up to hear speculation about humanity’s end, yet the pews remain quiet.

And here’s the question every Christian should be asking: Why is Peter Thiel talking about the Antichrist when so many pastors won’t?

Why Thiel, why now?

Thiel has always been fascinated by the intersection of faith, politics, and technology. In interviews, he has speculated that the Antichrist might rise to power not through brute force but by constant talk of peace and safety–language eerily familiar in a world teetering between global wars and technological upheaval.

Yet the secrecy of these lectures raises another layer of intrigue. Why keep them closed-door? Why not livestream them if the goal is spiritual exploration? The answer, perhaps, is that Thiel isn’t trying to hold a Bible study. He’s staging an intellectual salon, where theology, power, and politics are blurred. Some see it as honest searching; others, as elitism dressed up in religious language.

Who’s shaping Thiel’s thinking?

The Acts 17 Collective, the nonprofit behind the event, brands itself as “Acknowledging Christ in Technology and Society.” It was co-founded by Michelle Stephens, who has explained that their mission is to create spaces for deep discussion among people who might never set foot in a traditional church. In many ways, Acts 17 reflects Silicon Valley’s new fascination with Christianity–not as humble faith, but as a cultural and intellectual wellspring to be mined.

Thiel’s religious inspirations are eclectic. René Girard, the French Catholic thinker, is his intellectual lodestar. Add Francis Bacon, Jonathan Swift, Carl Schmitt, and John Henry Newman, and you get a strange mix: a blend of literature, philosophy, political theology, and fragments of Catholic and Protestant thought. But absent in this list is the plain, straightforward teaching of scripture.

And that’s the problem. Thiel may be sincere, but sincerity does not equal orthodoxy. As many Christian observers have already warned, when theology is shaped more by philosophers than prophets, the result is often distorted.

Where does this line up with scripture?

Let’s be blunt: it doesn’t. Thiel is an openly gay man whose worldview is a hybrid of cultural Christianity, intellectual philosophy, and Silicon Valley futurism. That alone puts him at odds with historic Christian orthodoxy. Yet he speaks on the Antichrist–a figure central to eschatology–while countless pastors dodge the subject.

In one sense, it’s commendable that Thiel is willing to ask these questions. But it also exposes the failure of the American church. Why are we letting a tech billionaire take the stage on biblical prophecy while pastors–the shepherds of God’s people–remain silent?

Why pastors won’t touch the Antichrist

This is the most stinging indictment. The reason Silicon Valley talks about the Antichrist while pulpits stay quiet isn’t because the subject is unimportant. It’s because the church has grown timid.

Many pastors don’t preach on the Antichrist, not because scripture is unclear, but because they themselves don’t know what they believe. Seminary trained them to doubt prophecy. Some dismiss Revelation as allegory. Others treat Daniel and Thessalonians as culturally irrelevant. In countless pulpits, prophecy is written off as “too divisive,” “too speculative,” or “not practical for everyday life.”

The result? A generation of Christians starving for answers in an age of global chaos–and instead of hearing from their pastors, they hear from Peter Thiel.

Isn’t it remarkable? The man who co-founded a surveillance giant like Palantir is willing to speculate on the Antichrist, while shepherds of God’s people pretend the subject doesn’t matter. Many churches, fearful of sensationalism, have abandoned eschatology altogether. The irony is devastating.

What Christians should take from this

Thiel’s lecture series is a flashing neon sign. It says: The world is interested in prophecy, even if the church is not.

Christians should not hand over the conversation about the Antichrist to billionaires, philosophers, or nonprofits mixing DJ parties with theology. If anything, this moment should awaken the church to reclaim the teaching of prophecy–not with wild speculation, but with biblical clarity.

We must discern motivation. Is Thiel trying to honor Christ, or is he reinterpreting Him through a Silicon Valley lens?

We must return to scripture. Not Girard, not Schmitt, not cultural Christianity. But Daniel, Paul, John, and Jesus’ own words about the end of the age.

We must confront cowardice. Pastors who avoid prophecy out of fear or ignorance are failing their flocks.

Who will speak with authority?

The irony is almost unbearable. A gay billionaire, steeped in power politics and tech culture, is willing to wrestle with the Antichrist. Meanwhile, many churches either avoid prophecy altogether or sneer at those who take it seriously.

This moment demands a decision. Will the church continue to abdicate the prophetic conversation to Silicon Valley elites, or will pastors rediscover their courage to preach the whole counsel of God–including the parts about judgment, deception, and the return of Christ?

One thing is certain: if the pulpit remains silent, others will fill the void. And as Peter Thiel’s lecture series shows, those voices will not always lead people closer to the truth. Prophecy News Update

Sovereignty over the West Bank?

US ambassador Mike Huckabee visited Efrat on Friday and visited with Efrat council chairman Dovi Schefler, as the visit came about as a historic opportunity for Israel to apply full sovereignty over the areas of Judea and Samaria.  Huckabee returned to the town for a social visit following a previous declaration to buy a house there and participated in Shabbat prayers at the Shirat David synagogue.

US Ambassador Mike Huckabee’s visit to Efrat “strengthens settlement in Judea and Samaria and illustrates the importance of Efrat as a central axis in settlement,” Efrat Council Chairman, Col. (res.) Dovi Shefler said on the visit.

“This is a time of historic opportunity to apply full Israeli sovereignty over Judea and Samaria and thereby establish our national and international status. Efrat is a magnet for Jews from both Israel and abroad, and the ambassador’s visit is further proof of the importance and resilience of the settlement.”  Huckabee previously laid the cornerstone at a then-new neighborhood in Efrat and has joked about buying a home there.
