World War III Update:

I have written and included much with regard to wars and rumors of wars;

The Signs of the Times and the End of the Age

Now as He sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?” And Jesus answered and said to them: “Take heed that no one deceives you. For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many. And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of sorrows.”

Matthew 24:3-8

It is highly unlikely that the United States will witness a sitting president go before the U.S. Congress, or on television before the American people and declare a state of war. That hasn’t occurred since December 8th, 1941 and America has been directly involved in 21 wars, or the term military operation, since the end of World War II.

The Korean War 1950-1953

Bay of Pigs 1961

Vietnam War 1961-1973

Dominican Republic 1965

Lebanon & Falklands War 1982

Grenada 1983

Panama 1989

First Gulf War 1990-1991

Somalia 1993

Haiti 1994

Bosnian War 1992-1995

Second Congo War 1998-1999

Afghanistan War  2001-2021

Second Gulf War 2003-2010 / 2003 to the Present

Libya 2011

War with ISIS 2012-2019

Syria 2011 to the Present

In the 80 years since World War II ended America has not been engaged in a war, or the euphemism military operation — a war — only 28 of those 80 years? And that is just America. Know how many other nations, groups, tribes, nation states have been involved in a war, a civil war, or a military operation since World War II?

Every single year since. Someplace. Sometime. Some people. And it has been escalating since 1945 to the point we now are.

World War I never ended and the outcome of it led to World War II. World War II never ended and led to the Cold War, the Vietnam War, and every other war and military operation since. Along with the technology being used against U.S. and us using it against other people — although we are losing this war too, just as we have lost every war since Korea in the early 1950s. And our enemies have been keeping track.

It is a competition. To dominate. To control. To take the spoils of war. To weaken and control a people. To enslave. And Americans have become enslaved.

And people are foolish enough, blind enough, ignorant enough, deluded enough to actually believe the world’s people can live in peace? Man, is Satan the greatest and most accomplished liar, and deceiver ever!!!?

Yes, he is…

From Infoplease:

“What Defines a Modern War?”

What’s regarded as modern warfare is constantly evolving over time but it is generally associated with post-World War II conflicts with an increased focus on technology. Modern wars are increasingly reliant on tracking systems, drones, and AI-controlled vehicles with much less emphasis on the traditional “boots on the ground”.

“What Is the Difference Between a Modern War and a Traditional War?”

Modern war is often referred to as “fourth-generation” warfare. This is a form of war in which conflicts are complex, long-term, and decentralized with a blurring of the lines between military and civil strategies. The difference with a traditional war is that military action tends to be an element of more diverse political, social, and economic battlegrounds.

Modern wars are fought as much over social media and various forms of political and social pressure as they are on battlefields. It’s the difference between the wars of attrition experienced during the two world wars with Germany and the more virtual form of media-led warfare that is seen in the ongoing Russo-Ukranian War. 

World War III began a while ago. There is a GLOBAL WORLD WAR IN PROGRESS that began a while ago.

Folks like Mr. Snyder and many others apparently need a large mushroom cloud, an invading enemy force to hit the beaches, or their dated thinking as to what a world war in our age would look like.

Yes, there are bombs exploding on the ground killing many and destroying large areas. Missiles and bullets are flying. Worldwide. But it is different. Much different than in the 1930s, 1940s, and even the 1960s and 70s.

America has grown weak. Bloated. Arrogant. More lost. Deluded. Wicked. Turned from God. Easy pickings for the likes of Communist China, Russia, and every Islamist effort to dominate America and the West. The West has grown weak. Appearing like a Hollywood stage lot setting of false fronts portraying a living, active, and solid place only to look around the 2-dimensional structure in place to see the hollowness, the emptiness under the surface propped up, braced by various weak pieces providing the external appearance.

In these times, an enemy knows it is much better, less costly on every front, to weaken and dominate an enemy rather than invading and destroying their land — although on some fronts, in some measure this type of warfare is and always will exist. See the Holy Bible for the Final Earthly Battle Armageddon. Wherein the current technology will be used in conjunction with physical armies and the stereotypical accouterments of modern warfare.

Do not become dismayed, confused, or fearful.

The times are going to become worse. Much, MUCH worse in fact. And there is no saying the degree of pain, suffering, death, and destruction to come before the Lord comes to gather His people, His Church prior to the revealing of the Antichrist and his false prophet.

But do not fall prey to the spewing of information on how Hezbollah is going to have an “obliterating war” against Israel and remove Israel from the face of the earth. This is the blind delusion of every Islamist, of Iran, Lebanon, Turkey, Iraq, Afghanistan, all the “stan” countries and Islamist states and nations. They do not recognize Israel’s right to exist in their nations or state charters or documents.

But everything in the following article ignores and does not mention God, or anything within the Holy Bible.

Have you taken notice of how many times throughout history one dictator, one Pharoh, one emperor, one king, one nation’s leaders, one group, one people or another for thousands of years have contended they are going to be the ones to remove Israel and all the Jews from the face of the earth? And just how successful have any of them been?

Maybe they have all failed — even though all had larger, mightier on paper, more experienced, better equipped on paper armies than anything Israel could muster up.

But Israel had had God on their side.

And God made a promise to Israel that He did not make with any other nation or people. That they will never be conquered or removed. Never destroyed. Even when every nation and people on earth in the very end conspire to descend upon Israel and Jerusalem in a last ditch attempt to remove Israel, Jerusalem, and the Jewish people from the face of the earth.

Oh, much pain, suffering, and destruction are at hand, are to come. For Israel. For America. For other nations.

But never fail to forget for one second that it is God’s will. God’s will be done on earth as it is in heaven. God is in control. And God promised — and God never reneges on a promise He makes — that Israel will never vanish, never be removed. Nor with the Jewish people. No matter the words, the efforts, the hatred, the weapons, the attempts made throughout time by the enemies of God, the enemies of Israel, the enemies of the Jewish people, the enemies of the Word of God.

Israel will not be removed!

And it is solely the result of man, woman, and child turning from God and to wickedness, to doing whatever is right in their sight, removing the foundations. Replacing the truth with lies. Attempting to make themselves gods and removing the One True Triune God that begins every ill, every suffering, every war, every pain, every death, every evil that occurs all around this world.

It’s us doing this to ourselves.

For our turning from God.

For our turning from and corrupting, perverting, abandoning the inerrant infallible living and active Word of God.

Yes, lots of wars going on. Lots of pain, suffering, death, lives forever altered, and a lot of destruction. A lot of fear and confusion. A lot of lies and delusions.

Don’t get caught in that snare on this battlefield we’re all on in this escalating spiritual war.

If a professing believer then live as a true committed Christ follower believing, reading, studying, and meditation upon the whole Holy Bible from Genesis 1:1 to Revelation 22:21.

Eyes, mind, heart, spirit, and soul seeking heaven and looking heavenward to our eternal home.

For this place is only a stopping off place for a very short time compared to eternity.

Prepare. Today.

Prepare. Every day the Good and Great Lord blesses with life.

For the dangers, the times are going to become more and more perilous…

Don’t wait for a mushroom cloud or an invading army upon the land. All that needs to occur for a worldwide global war, World War III is in place, has been put in place, is being used, and is taking place right now. World War III is active and began some time ago.

Time to get caught up and understand.

For the time is short.

Een less than it was yesterday…

Pray for America and its leaders and people. Pray that the people of God REPENT and TURN BACK TO THE LORD AND THE WORD OF GOD. Pray for Israel. Pray for the Jewish people. Pray for the lost and blind following Islam. Pray for the pagans. Pray for this world. Earnestly, faithfully, daily, nightly pray.

You can find all manner of helpful information in this place if you look for it. Look for it…and look to the Lord, look to the whole Word of God…now, always, continually.

World War III Update:

10 Signs That Global War Is Rapidly Approaching

June 30, 2024

by Michael Snyder

Reprinted from The End of the American Dream & Prophecy News Watch

Are we on the verge of an apocalyptic global war in which billions of people could die?  Very few people anticipated that World War I would erupt, but it happened anyway.  And very few people anticipated that World War II would erupt, but it happened anyway.  All throughout human history, there have been wars.  Ever since the very beginning, it has just been a matter of time before major powers collide.  Unfortunately, even though very alarming warning signals are flashing all around us, most of the population of the western world seems absolutely clueless about what is really going on out there.  Leaders all over the planet seem to have come down with a really bad case of “war fever”, and preparations for apocalyptic showdowns are being made.  The following are 10 signs that global war is rapidly approaching…

#1 Politico is reporting that Israel and Hezbollah have both “drafted battle plans”, and the Biden administration is convinced that “intense fighting is likely to break out”…

Meanwhile, the Israel Defense Forces and Hezbollah have drafted battle plans and are in the process of trying to procure additional weapons, according to two senior U.S. officials briefed on the intelligence.

Both sides have publicly said they do not want to go to war, but senior Biden officials increasingly believe that intense fighting is likely to break out despite efforts to try and prevent it.

The risk is higher now than at any other point in recent weeks, according to another senior U.S. official, who, like others in this story, was granted anonymity to speak freely about sensitive intelligence.

#2 Iran is warning that there will be an “obliterating war” if the IDF enters southern Lebanon…

Israel will face an “obliterating war” if it embarks on “full-scale military aggression” against Hezbollah in Lebanon, Iran’s Permanent Mission to the UN warned on Friday.

The announcement was made on Twitter.

“Albeit Iran deems as psychological warfare the Zionist regime’s propaganda about intending to attack Lebanon, should it embark on full-scale military aggression, an obliterating war will ensue. All options, incl. the full involvement of all Resistance Fronts, are on the table,” the post reads.

By “all Resistance Fronts,” Iran means not just Hezbollah and Hamas, but also the Houthi rebels in Yemen as well as other groups in Syria and Iraq.

#3 Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is convinced that a major with Iran is inevitable because he believes that the Iranians have plans to conquer the entire Middle East…

Netanyahu emphasized that the fight against Iran’s terror proxies is critical for other nations in the Middle East, as Iran aims to dominate the rest of the region, including Sunni Muslim nations.

“We also have to deter the other elements of the Iran terror axis. But we have to deal with the axis,” Netanyahu explained. “The axis doesn’t threaten only us. It threatens you. It’s on the march to conquer the Middle East.”

“That means, actually, conquer. Conquer Saudi Arabia, conquer the Arabian Peninsula. It’s just a question of time,” he warned.

#4 According to NBC News, the U.S. is moving military assets into position so that they can be “ready to evacuate Americans” once an all-out war erupts between Israel and Hezbollah…

The Pentagon is moving U.S. military assets closer to Israel and Lebanon to be ready to evacuate Americans as fighting between Israel and Hezbollah intensifies, according to three U.S. defense officials and a former U.S. official familiar with the plans.

The USS Wasp, an amphibious assault ship, and Marines from the 24th Expeditionary Unit, which is special operations capable, moved into the Mediterranean on Wednesday to join the dock landing ship USS Oak Hill and another ship in their amphibious ready group, according to the Marine Corps. The Wasp will operate in the eastern Mediterranean to be ready for a Military Assisted Departure and other missions, the officials said.

#5 On Thursday, Hezbollah sent approximately 40 rockets into northern Israel…

Hezbollah launched a barrage of some 40 rockets at northern Israel on Thursday afternoon, in what the terror group said was a response to recent Israeli airstrikes in Lebanon, including the killing of one of its operatives earlier in the day.

#6 On Saturday, Israeli aircraft bombed several Hezbollah targets in southern Lebanon…

On Saturday afternoon Israeli fighter jets struck a building in southern Lebanon’s Houla where a group of Hezbollah operatives were gathered, the military said. The IDF said the operatives were spotted by troops of the 869th Combat Intelligence Collection Unit, and a short while later the airstrike was carried out.

Another building used by Hezbollah in Houla was also struck, the IDF added. It published footage of the strikes.

#7 I know that I wrote about this last week, but I couldn’t leave this particular item out of this article.  Apparently Joe Biden is thinking about approving a plan that would “allow US military contractors to deploy to Ukraine”…

President Joe Biden’s administration is moving toward a plan that would allow U.S. military contractors to deploy to Ukraine for the first time in a limited capacity, CNN reported.

Four U.S. officials familiar with the matter told the outlet that a policy is being worked on to allow the Pentagon to issue private contracts to send troops for the maintenance and repair of U.S.-supplied systems in Ukraine.

#8 Russian President Vladimir Putin is reportedly interested in developing a coalition of nations that would “rival the West and NATO”…

Rhetoric from Vladimir Putin about a Eurasian security coalition is part of a Kremlin plan to create a group of Moscow-friendly countries to rival the West and NATO, the Institute for the Study of War (ISW) has said.

The assessment by the Washington, DC think tank follows Putin’s visit to North Korea which, one international security expert told Newsweek, has “deepened an already intensifying relationship of convenience” between Moscow and Pyongyang.

#9 Putin is also warning that Russia will need to begin production of intermediate-range nuclear weapons systems…

Russia must respond to the actions of the United States and it seems that it is necessary for the country to start the production of intermediate-range nuclear forces (INF) strike systems, Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Friday.

“We need to respond to this and make decisions about what we will have to do in this direction next. Apparently, we need to start manufacturing these systems and then, based on the actual situation, make decisions about where – if necessary to ensure our safety – to deploy them,” Putin said at an operational meeting with the permanent members of the Russian Security Council.

Of course the Russians already have more tactical nuclear weapons than anyone else in the world by a large margin, and they have developed brand new Sarmat intercontinental ballistic missiles which are so advanced that they aren’t even worth comparing to the Minuteman missiles that the U.S. is depending on which first went into service in the 1970s.

#10 A very influential figure in Russian foreign policy circles is suggesting that the Russians should actually detonate a nuclear device in order to show the world how serious they are…

Dmitry Suslov, a top figure at the Moscow-based Council for Foreign and Defence Policy, has put forward the idea of Russia carrying out a “demonstrative” nuclear detonation, a move that could prompt the start of World War 3. This alarming suggestion arises as tensions with the West intensify due to Ukraine’s use of Western-supplied weaponry against Russian forces.

Suslov’s think tank, known to occasionally sway government policy, made this proposal public shortly after President Vladimir Putin delivered a grave warning to NATO countries. Putin warned that if Ukraine were to employ Western arms for attacks on Russian soil, it could spark a worldwide crisis, reinforcing his point with threats of severe repercussions.

Unfortunately, all of this is happening at a time when 72 percent of U.S. voters believe that the guy with his finger on the nuclear button does not have “the mental or cognitive health to serve as president”…

A sweeping section of registered voters do not believe President Joe Biden has the mental and cognitive health to serve a second term as president after his unsteady debate performance last week, according to a new poll.

The CBS/You Gov national survey conducted in the days after the debate found that 72% of voters do not believe Biden has the mental or cognitive health to serve as president, as well as nearly half of his own party. That’s up seven points from the beginning of June.

We are in far more trouble than most people realize.

And it is far later than most people think that it is.

I just wish that we could get more people to wake up.  We are literally stumbling into an apocalyptic global war, and once we are in the middle of it there will not be any way to go back and get a second chance to do things over.
