In the News – Prophetic Update

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

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

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.

Lucid Group is targeting a new goal that would make it the first automaker to offer highly advanced self-driving capabilities in its vehicles in the coming years, the company said Tuesday.

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

Prophetic Journalism / Deal is Flawed

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

I was extremely concerned about the proposed “peace plan,” but never fear now we are hearing that according to Qatar and others it is just a “good starting point.” Same old song and dance, delay and try to negotiate. Stand firm, it’ either agree or face the consequences. Trump said they had 48 hours and then Israel was going to do what they had to do. By the way there is a path to a two state solution in the deal. That would be the worst mistake Trump would ever make. Joel 3:2 gives a warning for nations who divide the land of Israel.

I hope this falls through, we can do better. If Mexico was doing to us what Hamas has done to Israel, invading our cities and raping and killing woman and children, and killing our citizens they would be a distant memory. But somehow Israel is supposed to make peace? I think not.

This deal is flawed and never will work, it’s nothing more than a lame attempt to put lipstick on a pig. It’s time to end this without Qatar who happens to be the main sponsor of terror in the region. Trump’s negotiators are too close to Qatar. Witkoff and Kushner have made $ millions and in some cases $ billions by managing their investments or in Witkoff’s case Qatar paid off an overdue loan on a hotel to the tune of over $600 million. That my friends I did not vote for!!

Stay tuned, it should get interesting. Look up the world is falling apart. But for the Christian it’s falling into place. We are in Prophetic times.

Please Mr. President Fire Witkoff

We go from not allowing Iran to have a nuclear weapon, to now a reliving of past negotiations.  The latest word is that the renewed negotiations with Iran will concentrate on capping enrichment and enforcing stringent verification measures to block Tehran’s path to nuclear weapons, U.S. Envoy Steve Witkoff said on Monday.

”The President’s message of peace through strength…resonates throughout the world.  They (Iran) cannot have a bomb.  The conversation with the Iranians will be much about two critical points: enrichment, and ultimately verification on weaponization.”  Witkoff told Fox News.

Limiting enrichment has been tried before, remember the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA)?  Who will make sure that a lower enrichment is followed?  Seems like the same old song and dance.  

Mr. President I love ya man, but your choice in friends reminds me of a love sick pre-teen girl.  You just want to love the bad boys.  Fire Witkoff and stand your ground.  No nuclear weapons for the worst supporter of terrorism inthe Middle East.  

It is now….or Iran will have a nuclear bomb.  Is that what you want your administration remembered for??  Rh

U.S. and Iran Nuclear Talks

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

The big event supposedly happened yesterday in Oman.  I say supposedly because they were not, as Trump deliriously told us last week that they would be face to face.  In fact these are indirect talks.  Which might be a blessing since I have no good reason to believe Witkoff can negotiate any deal with Iran.

After the meeting all the major players told us progress was made, (translation-we all showed up), and of course they acknowledged “diplomatic hurdles” and that those hurdles were very “complicated”.  Translation: Iran wants months for these talks to drag on so they can continue to process more nuclear material for a bomb.

Trump also addressed the negotiations while on Air Force One en route to an event in Miami, telling reporters. “It’s going OK.  I don’t want to say too much—nothing matters until it is finalized.  But it’s going OK. I think the Iran situation is looking fairly good.”  

Unfortunately butterfly kisses and positive thinking won’t get a deal done, it will take military action to accomplish ending the nuclear ambitions of Iran.

Pray for peace, but keep your powder dry! Rh
