Operation Midnight Hammer

Jeremiah 50:23 How is the hammer of the whole earth cut asunder and broken! how is Babylon become a desolation among the nations!

“Operation Midnight Hammer” is the name of the operation that “broke Elam’s bow”, the operation that demolished Iran’s nuclear capability. Repeatedly President Trump, Secretary of Defense Hegseth and the Chairman of the Joint chiefs of staff declared that there is no other military on earth that could do what the US did. They have proclaimed that it was “the hammer of the whole earth” that destroyed Elam’s bow in Jeremiah 49. Well, next up on Jeremiah’s list of prophetic occurrences is the destruction of Babylon, the “hammer of the whole earth”, that is the USA. It should be obvious to all that you can’t control the Middle East as long as Israel stands, and you can’t defeat Israel as long as the USA stands.

The Error that many have made

There are many who have said that there have been many false prophets who have claimed it is the end of the age and they were wrong, and therefore this is just a repeat of them.

The problem with that logic is the book of Joel. This prophecy begins with something happening that had never happened before. No one had ever seen it before. It was likened to a number of bugs which everyone had seen before, but this time it was as though all of those bugs had become a Frankenstein monster, stitched together to form one really bad bug.

The issue was not that it attacked the bark, or the leaves, or the crops. The issue was that for the first time the economy was shut down around the whole world. It was a declaration by God for a sabbath so that people could pray and fast.

Joel went into even greater detail describing social distancing and even saying this bug would go into the homes of the elites like the President of the US. Joel also said that this would be the sign you would see when the Day of the Lord was "at hand" meaning "next door". That sign was the Pandemic. Yes, we have had several pandemics prior to this one that affected the whole world. But we had never seen the whole world shut down their economy before. The closest analog to the Pandemic was the Spanish flu in 1918. There was no shut down of the economy, at most you might have had a few blocks quarantined in one or two cities. It wasn't until the 1970s that someone even calculated the magnitude of that flu on deaths. No, what we saw in 2020 had never happened before in human history, it was the very precise fulfillment of the prophecy in Joel. That is why all predictions of the Lord's imminent return have been correct since then. No one knew the day, all who tried to guess the day have been wrong to this point, but everyone who said "this is it" have been validated.

I would like to see your medical and mental health credentials because paranoia is often a symptom of mental illness like schizophrenia or sometimes obsessive compulsive disorder can cause paranoia
Modern day so-called psychiatry had its roots in Nazi Germany.

Read what the great Harvard trained psychiatrist Peter Breggin has to say about it and educate yourself.

No, it literally does not say that. What it says is no one knows the day or hour except the Father. It also says when you see these things happen, look up, your redemption draws nigh.
We definitely know the times and seasons and are exhorted to be watchmen ever vigilant.

Fig tree = Israel
All the trees = all the nations

[Luk 21:28-32 KJV]

28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.

29 And he spake to them a parable; Behold the fig tree, and all the trees;

30 When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves that summer is now nigh at hand.

31 So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand.

32 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled.

I don't know because people have been saying we're in the end times for like 2,000 years now
Dan 12:4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.
Dan 12:8 And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my Lord, what shall be the end of these things?
Dan 12:9 And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.
Dan 12:10 Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.

Daniel did not understand but was told to go his way for the words are sealed until the time of the end.

At the time of the end many shall run to and fro, advanced travel, and knowledge shall be increased, advanced technology, which the saints can hear, see, and know what the world is doing and how it is possible for the world to come together for they can communicate, and travel to each other.

This allows them to adapt a world wide system that is contrary to the operation of God causing Him to go against the world and end sin.

It is the time of the end when technology causes us to know what the world is doing.

So it is the end time.

1Ti 4:1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
1Ti 4:2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;
1Ti 4:3 Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.
1Ti 4:4 For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving:
1Ti 4:5 For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.

2Ti 4:2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.
2Ti 4:3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
2Ti 4:4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

The new age christianity which shall come out at the latter times, the end time, which shall cause the world to adapt that system as standard procedure and not allow anything else to be preached contrary to it.

They do not believe in a personal God, and do not believe Jesus is Lord and Savior, and interpret the Bible according to the occult, and evolution.

The United Nations supports new age organizations.

It is the end time.

The Last Days vs The time of the End

Acts 2:17 tells us that Pentecost was a sign of "the last days". This was a reference to the book of Joel and is a reference to the interpretation of the six days in Genesis as six thousand years, and the two days in Hosea 6 as meaning two thousand years. The "last days" refers to the last two thousand years of this six thousand year prophecy.

Daniel 12:4 refers to "the time of the end". The sign of this is when people can run to and fro through the Bible. Fifty years ago when you wanted to study the Bible you needed a very big table, a Strong's Concordance, a Young's literal concordance, a Vine's expository word study, and at least two or three Bible translations. Especially an interlinear Bible. You might also want a Bible commentary or two. You would have seven to ten of these books spread out on the table and it was a slow and laborious process.

Today we can have all that on the computer on one program, Blue letter Bible. That was first published in 1996 and probably not widely used until after the year 2,000. I would say that 1996 was the fulfillment of this prophetic sign indicating "the time of the end" and 911 in 2001 was Satan's response, another sign that this is the "time of the end" which the book "the Harbinger" explains in detail.

CHURCH: THEY ALL SAY WAR IS COMING

The Mark of the Beast is coming, you can’t stop it, you can’t reason with it.

Why are we going to war? Let’s look at this from the point of view of the elites. Robots and AI are rising, they can perform some jobs cheaper, faster, and with less liability than humans. As a result you have no choice, either you switch to AI or you go out of business. However, the elites realize that 8 billion people will not be happy to become useless eaters. This involves a dramatic change in the economy, same reason that we had a civil war in the US, same reason that most wars take place. It also is a race to get the most dominant AI since the thought is that whoever has the best AI will rule the world. So militarism is a key factor. Third, revenge or old wounds are also a factor. Can’t blame some countries who have been victims of abuse fearing the same abusive countries now becoming super powerful. But this also explains the push for surveillance. It used to be one nation fought against another because the king’s power depended on his subjects. But with AI and robots that is not nearly as big a deal, instead of fearing other nations the big fear is your own populace. Remember the French Revolution, or the American Revolution. What are you going to do when 8 billion people revolt? Another good reason for a war to kill off the useless eaters. Think of this as a new form of imperialism where the machines will act as the imperialists. Look at the news and clearly the governments of the world are anticipating that their biggest fear is the people in their countries. What has been accomplished in this war with Ukraine other than killing a whole lot of military aged men? Likewise with Gaza, Hezbollah, and Houthis. Think of this, they admit that AI will take the jobs, they admit that will cause a problem, and they admit the only “solution” is UBI, universal basic income (in other words welfare checks). How stupid do you have to believe that this is really their plan? Why do you think Germany called the Holocaust “the final solution”? Killing people is also a solution that psychopaths will consider. Why did Fauci say Cuomo was the gold standard of dealing with Covid? It was because he sent sick people back into nursing homes to get more people sick and have them die. Once you are collecting social security and medicare you are worth more to the government dead than alive.

Some people claim that people have been saying this for years, the ole “boy who cried wolf” complaint. Here is the problem with that, prior to Starlink satellites there was no way to have a global digital ID that could track you continuously. We could talk about Revelation and the Mark of the Beast, but there was nothing practical that could be implemented. Smart phones, fingerprints, facial recognition, voice recognition, we can see that all of that can lay the ground work. Social media creating a dossier on each person can help lay the groundwork. RFID chips and Quantum computers are also necessary pieces to the puzzle that needed to be created, built and tested first. So even though the book of Revelation has been telling us this was coming for the last 1900 years, it is not until this year that we can actually see all the pieces necessary for this technology and why you would be required to pledge allegiance to the Antichrist or else no longer be able to buy or sell.

Notice how four years ago the narrative was that we needed to open our borders to illegals and now the narrative is that we must close them and defend them. The military teams are already in our country and so the goal now is to build up the ability for homeland security to maintain order once everything hits the fan.

Let's consider why this war is taking place. Ostensibly there is a territorial dispute in Ukraine and one in Israel. It could certainly be about the control of natural resources in Ukraine and of course if Israel were wiped off the face of the map it might make it easier for Russia and their alliance to control the natural resources in the Middle East. However, I think the bigger economic motive is concerning AI and robots. If they are going to replace workers you are going to have billions of "useless eaters". The only solution is UBI, universal basic income, which is welfare. I think they are telling us this to pacify us when in reality the final solution is certainly one they are considering. I think it will be like the Godfather, give them an offer they can't refuse, either you take the Elon Musk Neuralink chip in the brain, making you a drone controlled by AI and no longer able to be saved, or you get your head chopped off. Sometimes wars are over ideological differences and this will be the same. Christians will become the enemy because they will refuse to get the mark of the beast. This mark is similar to branding cattle. If you are not willing to belong to Satan as a slave then he will simply kill you. In the past Nationalism was a cause of war, this time around it will be the "Nationalists" against the "Globalists". There are many advantages to the globalists, the disadvantage is you are giving absolute power to a dictator and the main ones who will object will be Christians. However, for unbelievers there are many grievances and desire to redress perceived wrongs. Unrepentant sinners hate anyone that shines a light on their sin and calls on them to repent. We are also going to see them fomenting internal conflicts, protests, riots, looting, etc. to help destabilize the local governments. They will sell the need for increased surveillance by using the fear of insecurity, they push the riots so they can sell you the solution they wanted you to take all along. They will also pretend this is miscalculations by foolish leaders, but all the evidence points to this being planned out to the letter for the last twenty years.

There will be a triggering event, perhaps the use of nuclear weapons, perhaps it will be Damascus becoming a ruinous heap. They will be in a race to have the most dominant AI and they will use the rise of Islamic regime and threat of terrorism to sell this. They have also set the stage to see how appeasement doesn't work by letting the most feeble and weak of all presidents have four years. They have painted this picture as two choices, Trump or Biden, with the obviously correct choice being Trump. We are primed for an economic crisis which always helps with recruitment to the military.

It is a spiritual war between good and evil, a carnal, worldly, view misses the mark. Israel will soon be saved by the hand of the Father.

What is happening on earth is a shadow of the spiritual war and seeing the evidence can eliminate erroneous ideas that we are simply being led into war by mistakes made by foolish leaders. It is clearly a plan.

Now if you are focused on the Bible you don't need to see this to know that, but for those still holding out hope that this is not the end of the age just look at the clues, this war has been planned out to the letter since 911.

fair enough, though there were opportunities for man to repent which he didn't take. God being omniscient is not the same as planning for man to fall. God prepared for that possibility the same way a contract will have provisions should one party not live up to their obligations.

We did not need a savior until after the fall. Prior to the fall we needed discernment. Even after the fall if Israel had not listened to the evil report they would have entered the good land 38 years earlier, if the Jewish leaders had received Jesus Christ as Messiah then the Gentiles never would have gotten the chance. If Israel had not rebelled against God they would have become the world's preeminent power and we would not have had the Babylonian empire, the Assyrian empire, the Medo Persian empire, the Greek empire, or the Roman empire.

Man has a free will, God can prepare for those choices, but in the end we made them, not Him.

Before the fall man was in relationship with the Father, Genesis sttes He would come in the cool of the evening and communicate with man.
That is what Jesus restored when Holy Spirit came at Pentecost.
Currently we are seeing His plan of redemption of His creation being completed.
