Just watched a video from Bro Chad at Watchman on the Wall 88 youtube channel. He referenced the following article from the Times of Israel, which indicates that Israeli pumping from their offshore Leviathon natural gas field is getting ready to start before the year ends, with commercial production for the local market first and then exports expected to follow soon thereafter. Meanwhile, Turkey signed that deal recently with Libya (ding...ding...ding, another member of the Ezekiel 38 coaltion), essentially claiming territorial water rights that just happen to block Israel's plan for an underwater sub-Mediterranean pipeline to pump natural gas into the European market, which, of course, is one of Vlad's primary customers for an already-hurting Russian economy. Here is Reuters's coverage of that story back at the end of November. Tic toc. Maranatha!!! Thanks for the encouraging latest update! Exciting times for us watchers. :popcorn After reading your post I couldn’t help but sing this classic Gaither song. Redemption Draweth Nigh Years of time have come and gone Signs of the times are everywhere. Wars and strife on every hand Watchman, we also have this seemingly obscure article about a Turkish naval ship, in essence, bullying an Israeli research ship and escorting them out of Cyprus' waters... going to create major tension between Turkey and Israel if they try to restrict Israel being in the waters around that pipeline; which is about to be up and functioning (or might already be) to deliver to the European continent: https://harbingersdaily.com/turkish-naval-ships-escort-israeli-research-boat-out-of-cypriot-waters/ Watching this very closely! :popcorn Indeed the change in Turkey's relationship with Israel is critical to end time prophecies. I can certainly see God pulling all things together for the end times. Should anybody ask the Lord why then ended up in Hell, I can almost hear the Lord retorting: cause you couldn't play nice in the sand box! TR Oh boy ... the “wish” list of spoils continues to grow for G/M army. :popcorn :popcorn :popcorn :popcorn :popcorn :popcorn Zechariah 12:2-3 Israel bought this land for $3.5 million in oranges, Russia wants it back. The entire Russian Compound of the Elizabeth Courtyard was constructed by the IOPS between 1860 and 1864 for Russian pilgrims to Jerusalem, but the Ottoman Empire confiscated it during World War I. Moscow has increased pressure on Israel to give it more of the Russian Compound in Jerusalem ahead of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s visit to Israel next month. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has expressed willingness to sell the Elizabeth Courtyard, where an Israel Police detention center now stands, former Russian prime minister Sergei Stepashin said last week. Stepashin is the current chairman of the Imperial Orthodox Palestine Society (IOPS), which built the Russian Compound, where the courtyard stands, in Jerusalem in the 19th century. Putin “is very interested in this issue. Even more so, he is a believer, a [Russian] Orthodox and visits the Holy Land with pleasure,” Stepashin said, adding that Russia is working on getting the lands back. The remarks by the Russian official, thought to be close with Putin, come at a tense time in Israel-Russia relations: The deconfliction system in Syria is going less smoothly than it has in previous years; Israeli-American Naama Yissachar was sentenced in a Moscow court to 7.5 years in prison for allegedly having less than 10 grams of cannabis in her luggage and Netanyahu asking Putin to pardon her; and several incidents of dozens of Israelis being detained in Russian airports. Jerusalem Affairs Minister Ze’ev Elkin, who sometimes serves as Netanyahu’s translator in meetings with Putin, would not comment on Stepashin’s specific comments, but said that there have been inquiries by the Russian government in the past, and there have not been any breakthroughs. In 2008, then-prime minister Ehud Olmert agreed to give Russia Sergei’s Courtyard, another part of the Russian Compound that abuts the Elizabeth Courtyard, but Moscow seeks more of the surrounding area. The entire Russian Compound was constructed by the IOPS between 1860 and 1864 for Russian pilgrims to Jerusalem, but the Ottoman Empire confiscated it during World War I. It subsequently became part of the British Mandate, and then belonged to Israel after independence in 1948. Israel bought the lot for $3.5 million worth of Jaffa oranges in 1964, but the IOPS continued operations on the lot, serving as a front for KGB agents. It was fully taken over by Israel after 1967, when the Soviet Union cut diplomatic ties with Israel. Stepashin said in an interview with Russian news site Izvestia that he “witnessed a conversation,” prior to 2013 in which Netanyahu said: “I am not opposed to withdrawing from the prison, but due to the fact that this is Israel’s property… you will compensate us financially, and then we will take the prison out of there and give the building to you… You have many rich Jews” in Russia. Stepashin echoed longstanding Russian arguments that USSR leader Nikita Khrushchev’s sale of the land to Israel was not legitimate, saying that, “thanks to Khrushchev, a week before his resignation, he transferred all of this almost for free to the Israeli state.” - Fair Use - Pastor Tim Henderson also had a report yesterday from one of his intel sources indicating that Turkey is threatening to cut off import/export shipping lanes off the Mediterranean coast of Israel (which is how Israel reportedly gets the vast majority of their "stuff" to live). In addition, I just saw an article (think it was in the Jerusalem Post, but not sure because I was jumping around) where representatives from Israel will be in Greece next week to discuss the oil pipeline that will potentially encroach on Putin's European market for Russian oil. Tic toc. Looks like 2020 is shaping up to be very eventful. Zechariah 12:2-3 A literal siege by nations? Happening after the church is gone? its not going to end well for those who want possession. Leviticus 25:23 The land shall not be sold for ever: for the land is mine, for ye are strangers and sojourners with me. 24 And in all the land of your possession ye shall grant a redemption for the land. see Judah's territory from biblemapper: Yessiree ... in 4 days (Thursday, Jan. 2nd) its checkmate time for the 3 stooges of the G/M armies. They are sitting idle in Syria as they watch this historic gas signing deal take place between Bibi and Nicos Anastasiades. Happy New Year! :mdrmdr: Jews are clever people... I'm sure it was more than just a research boat lol Wow ... according to Arutz Sheva news ... Israel is pumping the gas ahead of time and the first shipment went to Egypt today! Today ... “for the first time in its history, Israel to become a significant natural gas exporter,"!!! And tomorrow is the historic signing to eventually supply gas to the Europe. I wonder how long its going to take to put in the pipelines? Does anybody know? Or are they already installed or close to completion? A joint statement from partners Noble Energy, Delek Drilling, and Ratio said that the start of production was expected to lead to an immediate reduction in domestic electricity prices and the start of exports. "For the first time in its history, Israel to become a significant natural gas exporter," it said. On December 17, Israeli Energy Minister Yuval Steinitz announced approval of sales to Egypt from Leviathan and the smaller Tamar field. A spokesman for Israeli partner Delek said then that deliveries to Egypt were expected to begin on January 1. - Fair Use -
Since I first heard it told,
How Jesus would come again someday.
If back then it seemed so real,
Then I just can’t help but feel
How much closer his coming is today.
There’s a brand new feeling in the air.
Keep your eyes upon the eastern sky,
Life up your heads, redemption draweth nigh!
And violence fills our land,
Still some people doubt he’ll come again.
But the Word of God is true,
He’ll redeem his chosen few.
Don’t lose hope, soon Christ Jesus will descend.
Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem. And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.

Israel's offshore Leviathan field started pumping gas on Tuesday in what the operating consortium called "a historic turning point in the history of the Israeli economy."
