He Promised Peace-He Engaged in War

Iran versus U.S.

And you shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that you are not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 

For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in diverse places. [Mat 24:6-7] (Emphasis mine)

It is late, but this is a heads-up that later today (Wednesday, September 2), I will be publishing a more in-depth article. 

When Trump was campaigning, he promised he would bring peace and end the wars. Instead, he has joined Israel and engaged in war. He has taken the helm - he is calling the 'shots' (not a pun, but a fact). 

A few days ago, I completed a three-day fast, as I searched for some answers. There is much going on, many distractions and interruptions. News came to the people that yesterday, September 1, 2026, at noon Eastern Standard Time, Trump ordered USCENTCOM to launch an attack against Iran, which was in retaliation for the attacks that Iran conducted the previous night.

A spokesman for Iran stated that the attacks were in response to the US hitting those missiles that were supposed to spread mines throughout the Strait of Hormuz.

Trump spewed forth a strong warning: "You better not respond. If you do, and you start to escalate this, we're going to hit you with the largest attack you have seen so far."

All the news reported that Iran did indeed respond; they did retaliate. Trump had predicted that they would respond, sarcastically stating that "they are stupid and they are a terrorist regime."

On August 30, 2026, US forces struck Iranian military rocket launchers on Larak Island in the Strait of Hormuz, ending a month-long lull in hostilities, according to Fox News.

The above information comes from a live coverage presented by Steven Ram on his YouTube channel. He titled the coverage: Breaking | Iran is attacking U.S. Bases!

Providence of the Living God

The Lord is ever faithful. True, yes - it is true that war had already begun between Israel, Iran and the United States (although recently it has seemed to be more between US and Iran). 

Nonetheless, I believe judgment has already begun. The beginning of sorrows is something I wrote about a year or so ago. Truthfully, I cannot recall exactly how long ago. It must be found to be accurate about exactly when it was; however, everyone I speak with - every single person, no matter if they are young, middle-aged or elderly - claims that time seems 'whacked' [youth], 'out of sync' [middle-aged], 'not normal' [old school].

Praying about many things on the fast, I did mention the nations because personally, I do not think that there is one godly nation. All seem to be angry, full of protesters, bitter. All are in rebellion and allowing all kinds of abominations, including Israel - the entire world presents like the days of Noah, Sodom and Gomorrah. This I have made no secret of by mentioning it in past articles, going back several years.

2020 was the first time the Lord had me post that it would be a pivotal year (that was in January, and the pandemic had us locked down in March--ONLY God knew. I know nothing on my own, absolutely nothing.) His glory alone...

That being said, I believe that deep within the Lord has let me know that each year from now on will be pivotal, as we head for the Great Tribulation. Nothing will ever be the same again. They are pushing hard for the 2030 agenda. 

Folks, that is like a heartbeat away. We all need the guidance, strength, wisdom AND increased discernment of the Lord (the Holy Spirit and the WORD give us discernment). He does not want us to fear. He wants us to trust - and yes, He does know that can be difficult for this old flesh sometimes. 

Fear can warn us of danger, but if we are not trusting God, it can also paralyze us, given the right situation. And we need each other to encourage and pray for one another. 

I came across scripture and dated it. Unbelief and rebellion, combined with fear, have taken hold of multitudes. That was written up at the top of the page. These notes are for me - I have to keep myself in check too, with the help of the Holy Spirit and Jesus. Yes sir, you bet I do! 

Leaders (kings, princes, Prime Ministers, whatever title their country gives them) - they are hungry for power, pushing for control, established the system that will be ruled by the Antichrist of all antichrists.

On the 26 of August, after prayer, the Holy Spirit led me to Scripture in a Bible not often used (I have several Bibles: KJV, NKJV, ESV, Amplified and Jerusalem Bible)

I have a bad habit of dating, making comments, and highlighting scriptures. The scripture I was led to was one the good Lord had led me to previously, and ironically, four months to the day (April 26) - both dates being this year.

Although they are highlighted in a KJV (King James Version) Bible, I am copying it here as presented in the NKJV (New King James).

Your way and your doings have procured these things unto you; this is your wickedness, because it is bitter, because it reaches unto your heart.

My bowels, my bowels! I am pained at my very heart; my heart makes a noise in me; I cannot hold my peace, because you have heard, O my soul, the sound of the trumpet, the alarm of war.

Destruction upon destruction is cried; for the whole land is spoiled; suddenly are my tents spoiled, and my curtains in a moment.

How long shall I see the standard, and hear the sound of the trumpet?

For My people are foolish; they have not known Me; they are sottish children [stupefied, inebriated], and they have no understanding: they are wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge. [Jer 4:18-22]

At the top of the page, I had spoken of rebellion, unbelief and fear...it must have been back on April 26 that I wrote that. I use different Bibles. Sometimes I find the King James has a verse or section that I do not understand, so I use a translation with more modern language, like the ESV (English Standard Version) or Amplified.

Also, during the fast, I prayed for my children and grandchildren. Just because we are Christians does not mean our children are. Sometimes, if they are believers, they may be a prodigal, backslidden, or in a place that is not wholly sold out to God/Jesus - like where most (if not all) of us once were.

Look at Eli, a prophetic spiritual leader, whose two sons, Hophni and Phineas, high priests, were sinful souls, guilty of theft (sacrificial meats of the worshippers) and sexual immorality. Eli did not discipline them though.

Then there was the prophet Samuel, whose two sons, Abiah and Joel, whom Samuel appointed as judges, were also sinful in their ways. They perverted justice, and they were dishonest, accepting bribes. They did not honour God as Samuel did.

David had a son who was the half-brother of his daughter Tamar. He raped her, then hated her, putting her to great shame. She was the sister of King David's son Absalom, who avenged his sister by killing Amnon a couple of years later. He also plotted to overtake his father David's throne.

He was proud of his hair, but it got tangled up in a low-lying branch when he was riding on his mule. [2Sam 18:9] David's loyal commander-in-chief, Joab, discovered him caught up and helpless. The King had told his men to be gentle with the young man Absalom and not hurt him. "Do it for me." David had pleaded with his men. [2Sam 18:5]

Death of Absalom
James Tissot - 1904

He explicitly disobeyed David and used the opportunity to thrust three spears or lances into Absalom (for plotting against David), and the rest of the soldiers finished him off. Joab wanted the rebellion ended and protect the kingdom.

For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. [Rom 3:23]

So after praying for my children and grandchildren, the Holy Spirit led me to Scripture (the Word of God IS alive and active and sharper than any two-edged sword). Glory to the Creator!

El Shaddai, our holy God, speaks to us through His Word. Jesus IS the Word who came in the flesh. So magnificent, so mind-boggling. I post the verse here because, as I have often said, Jesus still feeds the multitudes.

There are others (many others) who have been praying for their children, some travailing. Receive the Word of God. Ask Him, and He will answer. He lives.

This Word is for you too. There are no coincidences with our Father.

God has heard your prayers. (Thank You Jesus - this is all because of you!) Cling to the strong Vine like healthy grapes...

Isaiah 49:26

This has been a heads-up. I have more prepared but it is almost 5:00 AM. 

Stay close to Jesus. He is your Advocate, Comforter, Counsellor, Prince of Peace.

Heed the Signs of the Times

Heed the Signs of the Times

Ariel Sharon, hailed by the media and others as the ‘Fierce Defender of a Strong Israel’ died Saturday, January 11, 2014.  He had suffered a stroke and fell into a coma eight years ago, in January 2006.  He had been born to Russian immigrants and became famous for his involvement in the Israeli-Arab struggles.

Considered a strong-willed military leader and an aggressive political leader, Sharon left behind a legacy as the controversial man who fought in many of Israel’s major wars and had spearheaded the Jewish settlement of Palestinian territories.  He had been dubbed ‘the Bulldozer’, due to his iron will and push to protect Israel and carry out tough decisions he made.

Prophecy Regarding Ariel Sharon’s Death and the Coming Messiah

Back in 2007, many articles were published regarding the revealing of the name of the ‘Messiah’ that Rabbi Yitzhak Kaduri had requested to be unsealed one year after his death.  Rabbi Kaduri had passed away in February 2006 at an estimated age of 108 (reports vary on age).

He was a Kabbalist who had been born in Baghdad, but his fame became global at his issuance of ‘apocalyptic warnings’, as well as declaring publicly that he had met the Jewish Messiah in the month of November 2003.  He had also correctly prophesied regarding the Indonesian tsunami in 2004 two weeks before it occurred, stating that a cataclysmic event would occur “with the rising of the sea in the East”.

The name of the Messiah was scribbled in a note and sealed until a year after his death had been fulfilled.  “Yehoshua” or “Yeshua” (the Hebrew name of Jesus) was the name Rabbi Kaduri had written.  Evangelicals and Kabbalists locked horns in forums globally as a result of the revealing of the name. 

Going by the Biblical account of the true Messiah’s return, many Christians believed the ‘Messiah’ that the rabbi spoke of was none other than the Antichrist.  His 80 year old son, Rabbi David Kaduri insisted that the note was not his father’s writing, thereby suggesting that the note was a forgery.

Below is an excerpt from a 2007 news article, found on World News Daily:

Also in September 2005, Kaduri said: “The Messiah is already in Israel. Whatever people are sure will not happen is liable to happen, and whatever we are certain will happen may disappoint us. But in the end, there will be peace throughout the world.”

As a lifelong student and teacher of Kabbalah, Kaduri rejected a meeting requested by pop superstar Madonna, who dabbled in the ancient art of Jewish mysticism. He reportedly said at the time: “It is forbidden to teach a non-Jew Kabbalah, not even Talmud, not even simple Torah.”

Kaduri is said to have been one of the few known living practitioners who used his knowledge of Kabbalah to affect change in the world. He would often distribute amulets intended to heal, enhance fertility and bring success. He was also believed to have been involved in the removal of 20 dybbuks, or lost souls that strayed into the hapless bodies of living people to torment them.

Aviel Schneider, the author of the Israel Today story, said the worldwide reaction to news of Kaduri’s note has been “crazy.” He said he has never received so many emails and calls from around the globe.

He said he was urged not to publish the story by the rabbi’s yeshiva, where officials said it was “impossible” that the note was actually written by Kaduri.

But Schneider was given access to many of the rabbi’s manuscripts, written in his own hand for the exclusive use of his students. He was struck by symbols painted by Kaduri all over the pages.

“They were crosses,” said Schneider. “In the Jewish tradition, you don’t use crosses. You don’t even use plus signs because they might be mistaken for crosses. But there they were, painted in his own hand.”

Asked what those symbols meant, Kaduri’s family said they were “signs of the angel.”

It was on the Day of Atonement (2005) that Rabbi Kaduri claimed to have a vision where he met the ‘Messiah’.  He also revealed that the Messiah would not come until Ariel Sharon, the former Israeli Prime Minister died.

Linking Ariel Sharon’s Death with Rabbi Yitzchak Kaduri’s Prophecy

It is possible that the Lord Jesus (Y’shua) may have appeared to Rabbi Kaduri and revealed the name of the true Messiah Y’shua, known as Jesus the Christ in English.  God can do all things.  Yet, I cannot help but to issue a warning that true disciples of Christ be very careful about dates or timing on His return.

Rabbi Yitzhak Kaduri was a Kabbalist rabbi.  Anyone who truly receives the Messiah of the Bible as Lord and Savior, and in particular a rabbi who had followed the darkness found in the Kabbalah, would publicly state so, despite any risks or backlash.  Yet this rabbi did not want any mention of such a thing (or HINT of changed faith) until one year after his death.

He also spoke of rebuilding the temple, which is not something the true Messiah would encourage, as we are the living stones; we are the temple of the Most High God.  We all are groaning within for the return of the true Messiah, but did this rabbi meet the true Messiah?  I hope so, but his secrecy about his faith, as well as the desire to rebuild the temple bring up a ‘red flag’.

Why would he not desire to speak to others who were deceived by the writings and practices of the Kabbalah and thus counsel them to turn to the true Messiah of the Torah?  This makes me ponder deeply.  Obviously, the Lord can choose whomsoever He desires to reveal truths – absolutely He can and it would be both stunning and marvelous if the rabbi truly did convert before his death.

The secret note contained a Hebrew sentence:

“Yarim Ha’Am Veyokhiakh Shedvaro Vetorato Omdim.” 

“Concerning the letter abbreviation of the Messiah’s name, “He will lift the people and prove that his word and law are valid.”

“This is I have signed in the month of mercy, Messiahs Name-Yitzhak Kaduri.”

His followers believed the note to be authentic but told Israel Today that they do not know how he got the name of the Messiah.  Although many reports (as posted above) stated that his son, Rabbi David Kaduri claimed the note was a forgery, other reports quote his son as stating that in the last year of his life, his father, Rabbi Yitzhak Kaduri repeatedly confirmed that he had dreamt and met the Messiah. “My father has met the Messiah in a vision,” he said, “and told us that he would come soon.”  

Rabbi Kaduri was highly esteemed and widely respected by multitudes who received counseling and blessings from him, as well as knew his accurate predictions of several disasters and countless miracles he performed.  Yes, my heart does hope that he truly met the Messiah spoken of in the holy scriptures.

Yet, we are also cautioned:

And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.

For many shall come in My name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.  

 [Mat 24:4,5]

For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.

Behold, I have told you before.

Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, He is in the desert; go not forth: behold, He is in the secret chambers; believe it not.

For as the lightning comes out of the east, and shines even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:

And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

And He shall send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. 

[Mat 24:24-31]

After tribulation of those days, Jesus said, then the sun would be darkened, the moon would not give her light and the stars will fall…and then shall appear the Son of man in heaven.

Jesus/Y’shua carefully laid it out for all of us and that is why I urge you that we all proceed with caution and watch for the signs and the order of those signs as given by the true Messiah.  Do I hope and pray that Rabbi Yitzhak Kaduri actually met and received the true Messiah as his Lord and Savior?  Absolutely!

I do believe that his prophetic word regarding the death of Ariel Sharon should be considered as a sign of the times we are in, yes – I do.  But I caution how we are warned of the Antichrist who has the ability and will (IF POSSIBLE) deceive even the elect (bold and highlights emphasis by this posts author: see verse Mat 24:24).

To be fair, the following video speaks about the prophecy and compares Rabbi Kaduri to the apostle Paul, on the way to Damascus.  The video was uploaded a little less than 4 years ago, in June 2010.

With Jesus/Y’shua’s words before our eyes in the Holy Scriptures, it is with love I urge caution.  All of us sense the soon-return of the true Messiah.  We sense the urgency in our spirit man, but I do not want to take the words of Christ out of context or order.  I am interested in hearing what others have to say about this. 


At the time of this writing, as well as Ariel Sharon’s death being announced only this day, I do not yet have word from the Lord on this matter.  

However, it seems to me that the Rabbi's revealing of the name of Yehoshua or Yeshua, with his coming being after the death of Ariel Sharon, I have to remind readers that according to the word of God, the Antichrist (of all antichrists) comes first.  Is Sharon's death a sign of the Antichrist's arrival?  Seems to me that the Islamists (Muslims) are awaiting the return of the Iman.  Dangerous days...

Last year (2013) in August, the CBN (Christian Broadcasting Network) made a report:

“President Ahmadinejad seems to think that the time is ripe for the 12th Imam’s reappearance and that, as president, he should play a role in opening the way for his return,” the journal said. “He is reported to have said in one of his cabinet sessions, ‘We have to turn Iran into a modern and divine country to be the model for all nations, and which will also serve as the basis for the return of the 12th Imam.’”
Like Bernard Lewis of Princeton, the Kairos authors said Ahmadinejad seems to believe “that the hand of God is guiding him to trigger a series of cataclysmic events which could precipitate the return of the 12th Imam. Only time will tell if this is his true conviction; but if he does hold such a view, his possession of nuclear weapons is a particularly scary prospect.”

I would urge a cautionary warning to all true believers.  It is written (as posted) that IF it were possible, even the elect would be deceived (I know - I'm repeating myself, but I think I need to).  Pray.  The Lord is also warning us to get right with Him.  We all must seek Him prayerfully and do all that He instructs us to do, myself included – He did give me a very stern warning regarding ‘dying to self’ (the old man) and OBEDIENCE.   


Yes, a very stern warning, which I am not to release the fullness of it at this time.  Understand the words ‘stern’ and ‘warning’ – He has been most longsuffering, but His word will go forth and not return void.  The stern warning is yet another display of His agape love, but He will not be mocked.  If we do not heed His warning to lay all down NOW, the consequences of our choice is upon our own heads.  Selah

Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of God forever and ever: for wisdom and might are His: And He changes the times and the seasons: He removes kings, and sets up kings: He gives wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding:

He reveals the deep and secret things: He knows what is in the darkness, and the light dwells with Him. 
[Dan 2:20-22]


for His glory
