Unusual Planes Overhead

2022-07-11 Samaria, Israel:

So, Israel has recently shot down drones from Iran and Hezbollah (Iran’s proxy army terrorist group which runs the Lebanese government and is active in Syria as well). As for nukes in Iran, this time around neither the USA nor the Israeli government are stable and strong enough to do much: Israel increasingly needs to look to YHWH alone for protection. Meanwhile, USA’s President Biden travels to Saudi Arabia this week, I suppose to make oil deals, which is odd considering he closed down lots of oil business in Texas; but anyway… and then after that, the White House plans to stop by Israel for a visit, and the government coalition has just fallen apart here, last week.

So with all that in mind, this morning an unmarked military plane, about the size of a C-141 passed over my house in Samaria. It was an unusual sound, much lower rumble than the commercial planes ✈️ and instead of flying west towards Ben Gurion airport, this one was heading South-East. Very strange. Two minutes later, a plane with commercial markings and colorings followed behind on the exact same path.

Therefore, I think that flight had less to do with Iran, and more to do with Saudi Arabia. It may have been US or Israel military and support staff heading over to assist the White House people in Saudi Arabia. All this to say – let’s remember to pray for the leaders of the USA, Israel, Saudi Arabia, and Iran, as the Bible instructs us to do – regardless of any opinions we have about them. If we pray for them to become saved, and serve YHWH, and walk according to His purposes, things will certainly be better. Thanks.

Most Expensive City in the World

As of 2021, Tel Aviv has displaced Paris as the most expensive city to live in; also outpacing Manhattan and Singapore.

This is largely due to the dollar’s weakness relative to the strengths of the shekel. The result: a US dollar now trades at a 14% loss for the shekel. So the dollar’s buying power in Israel has decreased by 14%.

For every $100, now $114 are needed to buy the same amount of goods in Israel.

Tel Aviv mayor Ron Huldai quoted in Israeli media:

“Tel Aviv will become increasingly more expensive, just as the entire country is becoming more expensive,” he said in an interview with Haaretz. “The fundamental problem is that in Israel there is no alternative metropolitan center. In the United States, there is New York, Chicago, Miami and so on. In Britain, there’s Greater London, Manchester and Liverpool. There you can move to another city if the cost of living is too onerous.”

Galatians 1: Don’t Pump a Different Gospel

This video on yt: https://j.mp/3mggF4g

Galatians 1:6-9’s protection against false gospels, prophecies, visions, dreams, PLUS: a new pump for bicycle tires makes all the difference.

Imagine this: A very eloquent preacher shows up in the city or on the internat and makes convincing arguments for why it all makes perfect sense to follow his religious ideas.  How can people avoid deception?  What if people cannot manage to formulate counter-arguments?

Or, this: A flash of lightning appears in the living room and a 15-foot tall angel appears wearing a white robe, with a loud voice and overpowering presence that immediately blows up the microwave, toaster, and all electric light bulbs.  He delivers instructions and a powerful religious message.  How does one deal with that?

Here in this video I attempt to explain a powerful Scripture that was given in order to help us.  If this info had been widely known, many lives could have been saved.  Don’t be duped!

 

SYNTHETIC SWINE BUT IS IT KOSHER?

If an Israeli hi-tech company creates meat in a lab that’s porcine, pork-like, synthetic swine-flesh, what would the rabbis do?
What if they approve it, but religious people won’t be caught dead eating it?
Why did the newspaper misspell that city?
What’s Acts 10 got to do with it?
