Rapture on the 25th? Well, God does have a flare for the dramatic. 😉 Well this seems as good a place as any to post this.... today I heard a plane flying over my house, not unusual at all but this one was extremely loud, and that is unusual because I live in the mountains so big planes don't fly low around here....obviously. So I went outside to see if I could see it since it was so loud...it is cloudy today so couldn't see anything, but I was amazed still at how loud it was like standing on a tarmac getting ready to board a jet at an airport. Then I heard a sound I have never heard before, very loud, very weird and difficult to explain. It wasn't a boom, it didn't sound like acceleration either....for lack of a better comparison it sounded like those deep laser beam sounds on a sci fi movie or maybe like a bass in a loud stereo but amplified like crazy, almost if you could imagine sound bending.....it was brief, only a few seconds and then it was back to the same loud plane sound.... I have a friend who lives about 50 miles from me, and heard the loud plane but not the weird sound.... I have no idea what it was but since it wasn't a trumpet it unnerved me a bit..... :unsure: Do you think it was a UFO? :popcorn Iran is just 3-4 months from breakout, says Israeli intel. Who’s to stop it? DEBKA Apr 23, 2021 Israel’s three security kingpins go to Washington next week to try and modify, if not halt, the Biden administration’s race for a nuclear pact with Iran. Mossad director Yossi Cohen, IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Aviv Kochavi, and national security adviser Mair Ben-Shabbat will not arrive as a delegation but separate and make tracks for their counterparts at the top of American military, intelligence and national security organizations. Unlike in 2015, Israel will not go face to face against the administration as it did overr Barack Obama’s initiative to conclude the original nuclear deal between Iran and six world powers. Instead, the government in Jerusalem hopes to modify the finished product by inserting clauses that meet Israel’s most pressing security concerns and the threats that may be left open by the deal. The three officials will try and persuade the administration to accommodate those vital adjustments and talk down its fears of rejection by Tehran. Washington, for its part, while not sharing the current state of its indirect dialogue with Tehran, is also making an effort to calm Israel’s concerns. On Monday, April 19, US ambassador to the UN, Linda Thomas Greenfield, stated: “The Biden administration will support Israel as it works to counter the threats posed by Iran’s aggressive behavior.” She was responding to Israel’s unease over possible premature sanctions relief by the US for keeping Iran at the table and the ongoing Vienna talks for reviving the 2015 nuclear accord afloat. For Iran, this is a major talking point. The release of frozen funds, following the example set by Obama, will enable Tehran to boost its support for proxies hostile to Israel like the Lebanese Hizballah, Iraqi Shiite militias and the Houthi insurgents of Yemen. Israel’s apprehension was reinforced when President Hassan Rouhani commented on Tuesday, April 20: “Negotiations have achieved 60-70 percent progress. If the Americans act honestly, we will reach a conclusion in little time.” The US State Department spokesman Ned Price stepped in to cool this sentiment by saying: “There have been no breakthroughs and a long road lies ahead.” DEBKAfile’s military sources note that for Israel, all this palaver is beside the point. Rouhani needs to sound upbeat to offer a ray of hope to a population sunk in a welter of disastrous crises. The Biden administration wants to convey the impression that there is a long way to go for nuclear negotiations and the US is in no hurry to hand out concessions to Iran. But Israel’s overriding focus is on Iran’s furtive advance on its objective. According to its intelligence services, Iran has been creeping forward to breakout time for a nuclear weapon and reached a point no more than 3-4 months away from this target. The original JCPOA accord was hailed by the Obama administration as a major breakthrough because, at the time, US intelligence calculated that Iran was just a year away from breakout point. But Iran has used the intervening six years and is now far closer to its objective. Undaunted by harsh US sanctions and solemn American vows never to let Iran procure a nuclear weapon, Tehran has cut its timeline for a nuke by two-thirds. And today, no one is in any position to promise that Iran will not emerge as a nuclear-armed power within a few months. The Parchin military site (shown on the attached photo) holds a large metal lined chamber for testing nuclear explosives. Iran barred the nuclear watchdog, the IAEA. from inspecting this site in another breach of accord’s provision of comprehensive monitoring of its nuclear program. The photo was contained in the nuclear archive captured by Israel from a secret site in Tehran. On Tuesday, April 20, two former Israeli officials ran an article in the influential Foreign Policy urging the government to back President Joe Biden’s efforts to revive the 2015 nuclear accord. The government has for more than a decade faced a strong domestic lobby of former security high-ups campaigning against direct Israeli action for averting Iran’s acquisition of a nuke. The article was penned by former Mossad Director Tamir Pardo and former Deputy Defense Minister Matan Vilnai and backed by the signatures of 300 ex-military and security officials. Nonetheless, the writers confirm the current intelligence estimate of 3-4 months to breakout time and their article is subtitled “Reducing Iran’s breakout time and restoring robust monitoring are the most urgent priorities.” The authors have no answers to what happens next after Iran achieves breakout or how the Biden administration will respond, except to urge more negotiations. The three Israeli emissaries arriving in Washington next week will have their work cut out to change this dominant mindset and head off a nuclear-armed Iran before it is too late. - Fair Use - A neighbor of mine who is former military said there were two jets and one was refueling....but he didn't see them, only heard them, and he didn't hear the weird noise that I heard......all I know is that it sounded like something that was different from any other plane sound :unsure: but I can't say UFO because I didn't see anything, only heard the strange sound but I can tell you without hesitation that in all my life I never heard anything like it....and I have been around for a decade or 5...lol I am highly suspicious of the constant reporting of "Iran is X months/weeks/days away from nuclear this and that." I think it's crying wolf, IMHO. Iran has been months away from developing a nuclear weapons for over 20 years. Sooner or later you would have figured they would have developed one. I don't think it is constant Israeli sabotage that is holding them back. Perhaps it is all a ruse in order to drive the Sunni Muslims and Israelis together? There are high level freemasons in Iran, Israel, Saudi Arabia, etc. The wine has been damaged. The Revelation of Jesus Christ 6:5-6 5 When the Lamb opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, “Come!” I looked, and there before me was a black horse! Its rider was holding a pair of scales in his hand. 6 Then I heard what sounded like a voice among the four living creatures, saying, “Two pounds of wheat for a day’s wages, and six pounds of barley for a day’s wages, and do not damage the oil and the wine!” Wow! How about the olive trees? If this is referring to corn oil there will be a MEGA shortage because the US is the largest corn producer in the world, with 96,000,000 acres (39,000,000 ha) of land reserved for corn production. Corn growth is dominated by west/north central Iowa and east central Illinois and are they part of the drought region? :unsure: Mexico also produces corn and they are in a critical drought stage as well ... As rockets fired from Gaza continue to fall over Israel for 2nd day in a row, Benjamin Netanyahu says IDF is “prepared for any scenario” NTEB Israeli fighter jets bombed a number of Hamas in Gaza, including rocket launchers and underground infrastructure, and an IDF tank also struck a Hamas observation post on the border. In light of the attacks, the military issued a number of safety instructions to residents of southern Israel, keeping people away from the border and limiting the sizes of crowds. Israeli officials warned that if the rocket attacks returned on Saturday night, this could lead to a wider conflict. Earlier in the day, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called on the military to “prepare for any scenario” with Gaza. Palestinian terrorists launched at least two rockets toward southern Israel on Saturday night, one of which was shot down while the other struck an open field, as attacks from the enclave continued into a second day and threatened to intensify. You can see this one coming from a mile away, rocket fire from Gaza intensifying as Biden administration announces full support for the Abraham Accords via something called the ‘Israel Relations Normalization Act of 2021’. “To wit, the prophets of Israel which prophesy concerning Jerusalem, and which see visions of peace for her, and there is no peace, saith the Lord GOD.” Ezekiel 13:16 So even if every Muslim nation in the Middle East signs up to ‘normalize relations’ with the Jewish state, that really doesn’t solve the problem, does it? There won’t be any ‘peace’ in the Middle East until Israel and the Palestinians make it, and only the Two-State Solution will do that. Prepare for that, the rebuilding of the Temple, and the return of the Genesis 6 giants. Two rockets fired from Gaza into Israel as fighting enters second day The second launch occurred an hour and a half later, causing alarms to sound in the community of Kibbutz Nirim, just east of southern Gaza. According to the IDF, the rocket landed in an open field near the security fence, without causing injury or damage. News outlets in the Strip reported that two additional rockets were launched at the same time, but failed to clear the border and landed within Gazan territory. Over the course of Friday night and the predawn hours of Saturday morning, terrorists in the enclave launched at least 36 projectiles into southern Israel — toward the city of Ashkelon and the Eshkol, Sdot Negev, Sha’ar Hanegev and Hof Ashkelon regions — several of which landed inside Israeli communities, where they damaged a number of buildings and vehicles. Six of the rockets were intercepted by the Iron Dome, according to the IDF. In retaliation, Israeli fighter jets bombed a number of Hamas in Gaza, including rocket launchers and underground infrastructure, and an IDF tank also struck a Hamas observation post on the border. In light of the attacks, the military issued a number of safety instructions to residents of southern Israel, keeping people away from the border and limiting the sizes of crowds. Israeli officials warned that if the rocket attacks returned on Saturday night, this could lead to a wider conflict. IDF Chief of Staff Aviv Kohavi also canceled his planned visit to Washington, DC, amid concerns that the fighting in Gaza would escalate, the military said. - Fair Use - —————- Some watchers believe ... Zephaniah 2:4-5 is a prophecy yet to be fulfilled ... the rockets are happening in this region right now ... For Gaza shall be forsaken, and Ashkelon a desolation: they shall drive out Ashdod at the noon day, and Ekron shall be rooted up. Woe unto the inhabitants of the sea coast, the nation of the Cherethites! the word of the Lord is against you; O Canaan, the land of the Philistines, I will even destroy thee, that there shall be no inhabitant. - Fair Use - Short 57 second clip ... the news anchor guy says at the 12 second marker point “what the mark of the beast is going on” B-) - Fair Use - Amazon wants your palm print ... they will be keeping your palm image in their database besides all the other stuff they have on us. Right now its being tested @ Whole Foods stores in Seattle. But in another clip they claim Amazon will then be selling this palm payment system to “other” retail stores nationwide and encouraging them this slogan “with covid ... this is the safest way to pay” :whistle:
FROM THE TIMES OF ISRAEL: The first rocket attack came at 9 p.m., triggering sirens in the town of Sderot and nearby communities, sending residents into bomb shelters. Soldiers operating the Iron Dome shot down the incoming projectile, the Israel Defense Forces said. An 18-year-old woman suffered an acute anxiety attack because of the alarms and was treated at the nearby Barzilai Medical Center in Ashkelon, the hospital said.
