Prophetic Update 

“This is a week that many evangelical and biblically-aligned observers would say would make the anti-christ proud — not because Trump is the anti-christ, but because the sequence of events aligns with patterns of global consolidation and international control over Israel’s future.”  William Koenig

This was a horrible week for Israel.  President Trump has done everything he could to cozy up to radical Islam from pushing through a vote in the UN for Arab and Muslim Security Force in Gaza, to a full blown coronation of the Saudi Crown Prince, and ending with a meeting with a well known radical anti-Semite just elected mayor of New York.  

The UN Security Council gave Trump  the votes for an International Security Force to keep peace in Gaza.  That is like having the proverbial fox oversee the chicken coop.  Having radical Islamist keep peace in Gaza that in part funded Hamas?  Phase 1, return all hostages, Phase 2 disarm, not done so let’s skip to a peacekeeping force.  That should work out ok. What was Einstein’s definition of insanity?  

Almost a coronation of MBS, crown prince of Saudi Arabia.  Saudi Arabia gets F-35 jets, our best and latest fighter jet, (horrible Idea) and we get up to a Trillion dollars of investments.  Nothing was signed yet.  Saudi Arabia may join, which Trump is praying for, the Abraham Accords.  MBS wants a definite path to a two state solution.  Joel 3:2, God says he will judge any nation that divides the covenant land of Israel.  Again, a horrible idea. Once more treating Israel as a vassal state.

Maybe the most incredulous idea, that is borderline stupidity, welcoming Mamdani after his statement of jailing Netanyahu, disbanding the police, and his general hatred of America.  Full blown Islamic socialist who appointed a radical female pro Palestinian to replace himself in the New York Legislature.  Her degree is in Palestinian Liberation.  Mamdani is doubling down on his radical ideology and he gets a visit to the White House? Trump says “he is not a jihadist”.  That’s comforting.  

Each point could be expanded upon and maybe in the future I will, but suffice to say this has been a horrible week for America and especially for Israel.  They are a friendly sovereign nation, not a vassal state of the US.  Let’s not forget that Trump brazenly told them no “annexation of Judea & Samaria” , their Biblical homeland, because Trump already told the Arabs that Israel wouldn’t do it.  

Look, I voted for Trump three times, but I have to be true to my integrity. I will call out bad policy when I see it.  Current events in light of Bible Prophecy, this has been a week the UN and the one worlders of global governance loved.  Trump has made bad decisions, hopefully Israel and cooler heads will prevail, but the cat is out of the bag.  Again this has been tried before, especially the two state solution, (Clinton’s Oslo Accords) has been tried and failed miserably. In effect the Palestinians have had a state called Gaza from which they executed a failed, but deadly attack that brings us to where we are now.  They don’t want a state, they want to destroy Israel, along with most of the Middle East.

Einstein’s definition of ignorance, “doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result.”  Age-old hatred and mistrust dominate the key players in the Middle East.  The smart thing would be to “dance with the one who brought you,” (old country song).  That my friends would be Israel. Buckle your seat belts this could be a bumpy ride. Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Psalms 122:6 Rh

In the News – Prophetic Update

Good Morning, Welcome to Prophetic News 

Lots going on in the world this week.   I try my best to give you some of the most important and up to date issues that are of concern to me and hopefully to you.  Current events that either lead to prophetic events or Biblical prophecy.  In all of this remember you were born for such a time as this.  At my favorite coffee cafe this morning on the sleeve of the coffee cup was written, “it will all make sense one day.”  Maranatha!

Bachmann: Kushner, Witkoff’s Gulf Ties Undermined Israel’s Victory

Former Minnesota congresswoman Michele Bachmann believes that Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff, who have longtime business ties to the Middle East, played key roles in hindering Israel’s victory over Hamas.

Speaking at the Family Research Council’s “Pray Vote Stand Summit” in Chino Hills, California, on a panel titled “Israel: In Search of Shalom,” Bachmann said she was “perplexed” that President Donald Trump brought in private businessmen rather than Secretary of State Marco Rubio, to guide peace negotiations. 

She questioned why official diplomacy was effectively delegated to Trump’s son-in-law and real estate developer Witkoff, who both maintain long-standing financial relationships in the Gulf.

Vice President JD Vance criticized New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani on Saturday, writing on X that according to the Democrat, “the real victim of 9/11” was his aunt.

Vance made the remark as early voting began Saturday in New York City, where Mamdani, the frontrunner in the race, is trying to fend off challengers Andrew Cuomo and Curtis Sliwa.

“I want to speak to the memory of my aunt. Who stopped taking the subway after September 11th because she did not feel safe in her hijab,” Mamdani said in a clip of a Friday campaign event that Vance shared.

“According to Zohran, the real victim of 9/11 was his auntie who got some (allegedly) bad looks,” Vance said.

China says it ‘absolutely will not’ rule out use of force over Taiwan

October 29, 2025

Source: Reuters

China absolutely will not” rule out using force over Taiwan, a government spokesperson said on Wednesday, striking a much tougher tone than a series of articles in state media this week that pledged benign rule if the island comes over to Beijing.

China, which views democratically governed Taiwan as its own territory, has never renounced use of force to “reunify” with the island.

But the policy is not often directly voiced in public and did not appear in three Xinhua news agency commentaries this week about Taiwan, one of which mapped out how “patriots” could rule the island after “reunification” and promised Taiwan’s existing social system and way of life would be respected.

China controls the rare earths the world buys – can Trump’s new deals change that?

October 28, 2025

Source: BBC

US President Donald Trump has signed a flurry of deals on his Asia visit to secure the supply of rare earths, a critical sector that China has long dominated.

The deals with Japan, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam and Cambodia differ in size and substance and it’s too early to assess their tangible impact. But they all include efforts to diversify access to the minerals that have become essential for advanced manufacturing, from electric vehicles to smartphones.

The agreements, which aim to lock partners into trading with the US, are a clear bid to reduce dependence on China, ahead of a key meeting with its leader Xi Jinping.

They could eventually challenge Beijing’s stranglehold over rare earths, but experts say it will be a costly process that will take years.

Well you wanted it, now we have it.  AI will take over someday, (Hope I’m gone.). 30,00 layoffs by Amazon.  Get ready for more, definitely a coming attraction.

I know I’m a baby boomer, but I’m not ready for the “new” future. Reminds me of a song from back in the day.

In the year 2525, if man is still alive,

 If woman can survive, they may find

In the year 3535,

Ain’t gonna need to tell the truth, tell no lie

Everything you think, do and say

Is in the pill you took today

In the year 4545

You ain’t gonna need your teeth, won’t need your eyes

You won’t find a thing to chew

Nobody’s gonna look at you

In the year 5555

Your arms hangin’ limp at your sides

Your legs got nothin’ to do

Some machine’s doin’ that for you

In the year 6565

You won’t need no husband, won’t need no wife

You’ll pick your son, pick your daughter too

From the bottom of a long glass tube

On that depressing note, enjoy your weekend!   P.S. My generation did have the best music. Rh

Never in my wildest imaginations would I have thought New York City, site of the Twin Towers terror attack would even be thinking about a vote for this Islamist Mamdani.

Some Democrats Panicked Over Mamdani. Obama Called Him.

Hmmm, isn’t it interesting that one socialist/communist to another is offering advice and council. Fundamentally destroy American is now let’s destroy New Your city. IMO if Mamdani is elected is will make New York a barren wasteland of drugs, crime and radical behavior rivaling third world countries. We will have our own Gaza right here in the good old USA. Rh

In the days after it became clear Zohran Mamdani had won New York City’s June mayoral primary, much of the Democratic establishment began to panic.

Former President Barack Obama, the last Democrat to captivate the party’s base, got on the phone. In a lengthy call in June, Mr. Obama congratulated Mr. Mamdani, offered him advice about governing and discussed the importance of giving people hope in a dark time, according to people with knowledge of the conversation.

Others in Mr. Obama’s orbit have also shown a keen interest in Mr. Mamdani and his campaign. Jon Favreau, who served as Mr. Obama’s speechwriter, and Dan Pfeiffer, a former senior adviser, have been in communication with the Democratic strategist Morris Katz, among Mr. Mamdani’s closest aides.
