General ARE YOU WATCHING WORLD EVENTS ??

The following articles are by Micheal Snyder author of the "Economic Collapse Blog" and "End of the American Dream". While I do not agree with all of Mr. Snyders views I do agree on his assessment of world conditions. What the elite are planning, global government, will be taken over by the antichrist. The United Nations cannot be the Babylon of Revelation because it is not a specific nation and has only existed since 1945 whereas the beast nation previously existed, then disappeared completely only to rise again in 1948. Israel has nuclear weapons, the U.N. does not and Israel will use them if overwhelmed by their enemies. Jesus admonished us to be watching world events in order to have some idea of the timing of his second advent.




What Do They Know? China Instructs Citizens To Leave Israel, The U.S. Sends Troops, And Israel Imposes A “Special Situation On The Home Front”


September 23, 2024 by Michael



The situation in the Middle East has started to spiral completely out of control, and it appears that just about everyone is bracing for a major escalation. The Chinese are telling their citizens to leave Israel, the Biden administration is sending more troops to the region, and the Israeli government has suddenly decided that now is the time to declare a “special situation on the home front” which grants the IDF extensive authority to issue orders to the general public. Obviously all three have become convinced that something really big is coming. What do they know that the rest of us do not?


In recent days, many countries have instructed their citizens to leave Lebanon, but I was quite stunned to learn that the Chinese have also told their citizens to evacuate from Israel
China’s embassy in Israel has asked its citizens to leave the country and return to China in a Sunday night statement.
The embassy added that Chinese citizens should not travel to Israel for the time being.
I think that this is actually a prudent move.

When all-out war erupts, there won’t be anywhere in the entire region that is truly safe.
As I have discussed previously, U.S. citizens have already been instructed to leave Lebanon, and now more U.S. troops are being deployed to the region
The U.S. is sending troops to the Middle East in response to the surge in violence between Israel and Hezbollah and as the region teeters on the edge of an all-out war.
The Pentagon announced on Monday that ‘additional’ service members would be deployed to join the 40,000 already stationed in the region along with a dozen warships and fighter jet squadrons.

Most Americans don’t realize this yet, but when all-out war erupts in the Middle East the U.S. will be involved.
In Israel, a “special situation on the home front” has been officially declared for the entire country…
On Monday evening, the government approved the declaration of a “special situation on the home front” throughout Israel, following the most intense day of fighting between Israel and Hezbollah since October.
The declaration of the “special situation” significantly expands the IDF’s powers to issue instructions to the Israeli public, allowing it to ban gatherings, limit studies, and issue “additional instructions required to save lives.”
This is a really big deal.
Just imagine what it would be like if the president of the United States gave the U.S. military special authority over cities throughout the United States.
This is quite a dramatic move, and so Israeli officials must believe that all-out war is imminent.
Of course at this point it is difficult to see how an all-out war can be avoided. On Monday, we witnessed “the deadliest day of fighting between Israel and Hezbollah since 2006”
Missiles slammed into southern Lebanon, shattering the early-morning silence Monday and reportedly killing more than 490 people as Israel said it was targeting Hezbollah weapons hidden in residential buildings. The explosions came as Israel heralded a new wave of attacks on the Iran-backed group in Lebanon, warning civilians to flee from any buildings or areas where the organization had weapons or fighters positioned.
Lebanon’s health ministry said the strikes killed 492 people, including 35 children and 58 women, and wounded 1,645 people, The Associated Press reported. Monday marked the deadliest day of fighting between Israel and Hezbollah since 2006. The death toll also surpassed the deaths from the 2020 explosion at the Port of Beirut that killed nearly 200 people, injured thousands and devastated entire neighborhoods in the Lebanese capital.

We are so close to the unthinkable, and Israel has some decisions to make.

At this point, experts are telling us that Israel has three main options
There are three options for Israeli planners to consider: air strikes; a massive, Gaza-style invasion; and a “limited” incursion to set up a “buffer zone”.
The first is, of course, the safest. Mr Gallant, the defence minister – no dove, even by Israeli standards – is said to have argued for this option.
It does not commit troops on the ground, avoids the risk of a quagmire, and would not require committing ground forces while the main effort in Gaza (and, increasingly, the West Bank) is still under way.
I would disagree with that assessment.
A “limited” incursion simply is not possible. Hezbollah has stated that it will be all-out war the moment that the IDF crosses into southern Lebanon, and I believe that they are deadly serious about that.
When all-out war erupts, Israel won’t just be fighting Hezbollah. In such a scenario, Israel will be fighting Hezbollah’s entire alliance
Israel would also have to contend with Hezbollah’s strategic depth. The group is part of an Iran-led axis of militants spanning Yemen, Syria, Gaza and Iraq. Some of these groups have increased coordination significantly since October, when Israel launched a war in Gaza after Hamas-led militants attacked the country. This axis is known in Israel as the “ring of fire.”
For nearly a year, Hezbollah’s partners in the region have been engaged in a simmering conflict with Israel and its allies. Yemen’s Houthis have sporadically fired at vessels in the Red Sea, an artery of global trade, as well as on Israel. Islamic Resistance in Iraq, an umbrella group of hardline Shia factions, has also launched attacks on US positions in that country. The axis has conditioned the cessation of those hostilities on a ceasefire in Gaza, rebranding themselves as a “supportive front” for Palestinians in Gaza, as described by a senior Hezbollah leader.
Israel possesses far superior weaponry, but the combined forces of the Iranian-led “axis of resistance” would vastly outnumber Israeli forces.
A former Major General in the IDF has told the Jerusalem Post that an all-out war with the entire alliance could have disastrous consequences for Israel
Itzhak Brik, a former Major General in the IDF, told the Jerusalem Post that a full-scale war with Iran and its proxies could ultimately result in the destruction of the state of Israel.
‘Iran and its proxies have 250,000 missiles, rockets, and drones encircling Israel, which means about 4,000 munitions hitting the Israeli home front on a daily basis.
‘Population centres, Haifa Bay, water and electricity facilities, gas fields [in the Mediterranean Sea], IDF bases, and strategic civilian infrastructure… A regional war can ruin the State of Israel,’ he concluded.
Of course the truth is that Benjamin Netanyahu would never allow things to get that far.
If push comes to shove, he will not hesitate to use ultra-powerful weapons that the other side does not possess.
So let us hope that one side or the other backs down before we reach a point of no return.
We are also rapidly reaching a point of no return in Ukraine.
The Ukrainians want to use long-range missiles provided by NATO to strike targets all over Russia, and many NATO officials are very much in support of this dangerous proposal…
“Every nation that is attacked has the right to defend itself,” said Admiral Rob Bauer, speaking at the close of the NATO committee’s annual meeting. “And that right doesn’t stop at the border of your own nation.”
I wonder if the shoe were on the other foot and Russia was sending long-range missiles to Mexico with instructions and training on how to use them against American cities if the esteemed admiral would say Mexico had a “right” to fire those Russian missiles northward.
The consequences of these comments are absolutely stunning, and yet they are made with the flippancy of a Cub Scout leader deciding which is the best way to sharpen a pocket knife.
This is a “red line” that we must not cross.
The Russians have warned us over and over again that we are on a path that leads to nuclear war, and just the other day a Russian television channel broadcast a video that imagined what a nuclear strike on London would look like
A devastating nuclear strike on London causing 850,000 deaths with two million injured has been simulated by a staunchly pro-Putin propaganda TV channel.
Broadcasting the four minute video with an English commentary appears to be the latest move in a concerted campaign to scare Britain from giving permission to Ukraine to allow Storm Shadow missiles to hit targets inside Russia.
Vladimir Putin’s propagandists and entourage have repeatedly warned that he could use nuclear weapons.
Many people are convinced that western leaders have everything under control and that they know exactly what they are doing.
Those people would be wrong.
I have been warning about the war in Ukraine and the war in the Middle East for years, and many others have been issuing similar warnings.
But our leaders don’t listen to people like us.
They think that they have everything figured out, but the truth is that their arrogance shall be their undoing.
Of course they will not be the only ones to suffer.
Unfortunately, all of us will have to deal with the consequences as thousands of missiles fly back and forth all over the planet.



The UN Just Adopted The “Pact For The Future” Which Lays The Foundation For A New “Global Order”


September 23, 2024 by Michael

While everyone was distracted, the global elite got exactly what they wanted. The UN adopted the “Pact for the Future” on September 22nd, and the mainstream media in the western world almost entirely ignored what was happening. Instead, the headlines urged us to just keep focusing on Kamala Harris and Donald Trump. Sadly, the vast majority of the population has never ever heard about the “Pact for the Future”, and so there was very little public debate about whether or not we should be adopting a document which lays the foundation for a new “global order”. The text of the “Pact for the Future” is available online, but hardly anyone will ever read it and many of the most important provisions are buried toward the end of the 56 page document. Of course everyone should take the time to actually read this document, because our leaders just committed us to an extremely insidious global agenda that literally covers just about every conceivable area of human activity.
September 22nd, 2024 is a day that will go down in infamy.
Once the “Pact for the Future” was formally adopted, the following was posted on the official UN website
World leaders today adopted a Pact for the Future that includes a Global Digital Compact and a Declaration on Future Generations. This Pact is the culmination of an inclusive, years-long process to adapt international cooperation to the realities of today and the challenges of tomorrow. The most wide-ranging international agreement in many years, covering entirely new areas as well as issues on which agreement has not been possible in decades, the Pact aims above all to ensure that international institutions can deliver in the face of a world that has changed dramatically since they were created. As the Secretary-General has said, “we cannot create a future fit for our grandchildren with a system built by our grandparents.”
You would think that the “most wide-ranging international agreement in many years” would make headlines all over the planet.
But that didn’t happen.
The UN press release also boldly declares that the “Pact for the Future” will “lay the foundations” for a new “global order”…
“The Pact for the Future, the Global Digital Compact, and the Declaration on Future Generations open the door to new opportunities and untapped possibilities,” said the Secretary-General during his remarks at the opening of the Summit of the Future. The President of the General Assembly noted that the Pact would “lay the foundations for a sustainable, just, and peaceful global order – for all peoples and nations.”
The Pact covers a broad range of issues including peace and security, sustainable development, climate change, digital cooperation, human rights, gender, youth and future generations, and the transformation of global governance.
I don’t want to live in a new “global order” that includes “all peoples and all nations”.
I am sure that most of you feel the exact same way.
Another page on the official UN website tells us that “UN 2.0” is all about creating a “modern UN family”
Halfway through the 2030 Agenda, the world is not on track to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. It is not too late to change course, if we all rethink, refocus, and recharge. “UN 2.0” encapsulates the Secretary-General’s vision of a modern UN family, rejuvenated by a forward-thinking culture and empowered by cutting-edge skills for the twenty-first century – to turbocharge our support to people and planet.

We will strive towards this vision with a powerful fusion of innovation, data, digital, foresight and behavioural science skills and culture – a dynamic combination that we call the “Quintet of Change”. It is about evolution towards more agile, diverse, responsive, and impactful UN organizations.
That sounds so cozy, doesn’t it?
Who wouldn’t want to be a part of a “family”, right?
But the truth is that the agenda that they intend to impose on all of us will not be pleasant at all.
Over the years, much has been written about how insidious the UN’s “Sustainable Development Goals” are.
Well, the UN is openly admitting that the “Pact for the Future” was specifically designed “to turbo-charge implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals”…
  • The entire Pact is designed to turbo-charge implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals.
  • The most detailed agreement ever at the United Nations on the need for reform of the international financial architecture so that it better represents and serves developing countries, including:
    • Giving developing countries a greater say in how decisions are taken at international financial institutions;
    • Mobilizing more financing from multilateral development banks to help developing countries meet their development needs;
    • Reviewing the sovereign debt architecture to ensure that developing countries can borrow sustainably to invest in their future, with the IMF, UN, G20 and other key players working together;
    • Strengthening the global financial safety net to protect the poorest in the event of financial and economic shocks, through concrete actions by the IMF and Member States;
    • and accelerating measures to address the challenge of climate change, including through delivering more finance to help countries adapt to climate change and invest in renewable energy.
  • Improving how we measure human progress, going beyond GDP to capturing human and planetary wellbeing and sustainability.
  • A commitment to consider ways to introduce a global minimum level of taxation on high-net-worth individuals.
  • On climate change, confirmation of the need to keep global temperature rise to 1.5 °C above pre-industrial levels and to transition away from fossil fuels in energy systems to achieve net zero emissions by 2050.
In one way or another, all forms of human activity contribute to “climate change”.
And so they intend to strictly regulate all forms of human activity in order to meet their twisted goals.
The “Pact for the Future” also recognizes a “central role” for the UN and a “coordinated and multidimensional international response” whenever future “global shocks” arise
We recognize the need for a more coherent, cooperative, coordinated and multidimensional international response to complex global shocks and the central role of the United Nations in this regard. Complex global shocks are events that have severely disruptive and adverse consequences for a significant proportion of countries and the global population, and that lead to impacts across multiple sectors, requiring a multidimensional and whole-of-government, whole-of-society response.
The next time that there is a major global crisis, do you want the UN running the show and telling everyone what to do?
I tried to warn everyone about this.
I have written extensively about the “Pact for the Future”, but in the end only a very small sliver of the population got fired up about it.
Now the global elite have achieved their goal, and the opposition that they encountered was barely perceptible.


Comment by LeeB. Michael Snyder somehow believes that the conditions he describes in his above article could be averted but this way of thinking is in direct opposition to what prophecy informs us. Humanity is not able to stop the fulfillment of prophecy. The events described by the prophets will play out exactly as has been written. Prophecy is a sure word we would do well to heed. Even though the near future is a horror story the end of the story is the kingdom of GOD on Earth. We have to go through hell first to get to paradise.
