You trust the ‘Invisible Hand’ of the marketto manage a $39 Trillion debt and GROWING by $20,000,000 every minute of every day. You accept the unseen forces of economics as law, but you reject the Hand of the Invisible God, which has been a Work in Progress since the foundations of the Earth. You are watching the scaffolding fall, thinking it is an accident. It is not an accident; it is the Arrival of THE DAY OF RECKONING.
Kansas City, September 13, 1976 – The Verdict and the 30-Month Choice On September 13, 1976, The Kansas City Times published these exact words AFTER the RepublicanS LEFT TOWN:
He came to town for the Republican National Convention and will stay until the election in November TO DO GOD’S BIDDING: To tell the world, from Kansas City, this country has been found wanting and its days are numbered[…] He gestured toward a gleaming church dome. ‘The gold dome is the symbol of Babylon,’ he said. There are 30 months before the fate of the world will be SEALED with EITHER Destruction OR the Universal Brotherhood of Man,” he said. “The 30 month figure concerned a Treaty between Israel and Egypt.”
This was not a prediction of Armageddon in 30 months.
It was a choice placed before the nations: destruction or brotherhood. Exactly 30 months later (March 26, 1979), the Camp David Accordwas signed between Israel and Egypt—after talks collapsed on the 12th day and an unexpected window opened on the 13th day. The brotherhood option appeared to prevail.
The month before (February 1979), the Iranian Revolution erupted, toppling the Shah and igniting the confrontation that continues today between THEOCRATIC Iran vs THEOCRATIC Israel with a lot of US Christian Nationalism in the mix.
Seven years to the month later (November 20, 1983), the TV movie “THE DAY AFTER” (filmed in Kansas City) showed the city incinerated in nuclear war. Out of 100 million viewers that night, I was likely the only one to notice it paused on the exact same frame the Kansas City Times used on All Souls’ Day, November 2, 1976. I had no money, no power, no influence to orchestrate that pause. The Invisible Hand arranged it! These are not coincidences. They are historical facts that align with the 1976 prophecy to such precision that only willful blindness can dismiss them.The Boundary Line Crossed – 50 Years Later
The verdict was clear: the nation was found wanting. The gold dome of Babylon symbolized perpetual war and deception. The choice was destruction or brotherhood. Fifty years later (2026), the United States is again at the threshold.
Former CIA analyst Larry Johnson stated just days ago, the massive US military buildup around Iran is not Trump’s usual intimidation tactic—it is real preparation. The same rogue spirit that provoked the 1976 warning now accelerates toward confrontation.
Revelation 19 shows the Heirs of Salvation joining Christ in the war in heaven, then following Him on the white horse to wage war with the sword from His mouth—the power of the Word, not weapons of men. Christians are charged to wage that war now, on earth, while we still breathe because THE DAY AFTER WILL BE TOO LATE, but for the Heirs of Salvation now living on THIS Earth.
And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. (false teaching and beliefs about God in Judaism, Christianity & Islam) For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth ($Billionaires, Presidents, Prime Ministers, CEOs, and other IDOLS of the People) and of the whole world, (the complacent, passive majority) to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty. Behold, I come as a thief. (when you least expect it) Blessed is he that watches, and keeps his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame. And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon. (Armageddon derived from Har Mediggo located in Israel Today)
This is not about one man. It is about a nation and a world that has crossed the divine boundary line. The Invisible Hand that paused ‘THE DAY AFTER in the 1976 ALL SOULS DAY frame is still at work. The 1976 choice is still before us: Destruction or Universal Brotherhood? If humanity continues to engage in the works of money rather than the works of God, the destruction path will prevail.
This may be the last Trump—This is the intersection of a Name and a Sound—the ‘Last Trump’ is the point where the politics of man meets the trumpet of God, the final warning before the FIRE judgment Isaiah prophesied (66:15–16) Repentance begins within each person, then spreads to the community, then to the nations. Call on God for guidance. The hour is late. The record stands. The clock is at zero.
THE FINAL FRUIT: THE TRAGEDY OF JESSE.
His/Her name was Jesse.
Not a coincidence. Not a random selection from a baby name book. Jesse—the father of David. The root from which the Messiah would grow. The name that carries the entire weight of Israel’s hope:
“There shall come forth a shoot from the stump of Jesse, and a branch from his roots shall bear fruit.“ (Isaiah 11:1)
The first Jesse was a shepherd of Bethlehem, father of kings. The last Jesse was a child of Tumbler Ridge, father of nothing but grief.
What happened in the 3,500 years between them?
The line of Jesse produced David, who killed and repented, who loved and failed, who was called a man after God’s own heart despite everything.
The line of Jesse produced Jesus, who was crucified by the very powers that claimed to descend from David, who rose again, who promised that the meek would inherit the earth.
The line of Jesse produced the church, which grew wealthy, which built gold domes, which blessed empires and ignored the poor—just as Ezekiel said of Sodom: “Pride, fullness of bread, and abundance of idleness… neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.”
And the line of Jesse produced, in its final, broken expression, a 14-year-old in a town called Tumbler Ridge in the Peace River region of BC, tormented beyond bearing, armed and abandoned, who acted out the violence the world had input.
Jesse.
The name of the root. The name of the branch. The name of the child who became a killer because the world that bears the name of Christ forgot the child.
After 50 years, I do not know which seal of 1976 will prove true: Destruction or the Universal Brotherhood of Man.
Like any reader, I can only analyze what the Leading Indicators reveal.
*Since the Israeli attack on Iran last June 13—joined by the US, both violating the same International Law Putin is demonized for violating—and the incessant MSM chatter of another imminent US-Israeli attack…*
…I can only assume the powers have opted for the Destruction choice.
What the majority of People choose and say without Fear in Public mindful of Christ’s greeting, Peace! HAVE NO FEAR!
The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures: he leads me beside the still waters. He restores my soul: he leads me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for You are with me; your rod and your staff they comfort me. Thou prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies: You anoint my head with oil; my cup runs over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever. Psalm 23
The Title comes from an email I received this morning from Michael Brenner. He doesn’t have a Blog or an account on X. He is a prominent American scholar specializing in International Relations, American foreign policy, and transatlantic affairs. He is best known for his critical analyses of U.S. geopolitical strategies, European security, and global power dynamics.
This is what he wrote: BRETHREN
There is an old blues ballad called: “The Devil Don’t Knock Twice.”* Assuming that he knocks at all — or just sidles up to you at a Delta crossroads with a proposition that you can’t refuse. The specter of Satan requesting entry – into your home, into your soul – suggests that you have a choice whether or not to let him in. That evidently is true for even the most downtrodden, the most desperate, the most vulnerable.
We Americans – individually and collectively – have been privileged with three knocks, each seeking entry.
The first time, we took a deliberate look through the peephole, sized him up as off-beat, hyper, a little weird but quelled our doubts in opening the door. After much strained and acrid palaver, we agreed to a 4-year lease on the premises.
At its end, he aggressively demanded an extension of the same duration – the 2nd knock. With decidedly mixed feelings we turned him down. An inspection of the property had revealed widespread damage. The house was desecrated with Satanic graffiti and reeked of foul sulfuric fumes. Worse, the Evil One had turned it into a refuge for a coven of unisex demons from the nether world.
Furious at the rejection, he incited them to ransack the place and to seize it in his name. We managed to repel them – just barely. That wasn’t the end of it, though. Hardly. The diabolical schemer launched a massive all-out campaign to overturn the eviction. Spurious lawsuits, incessant protest rallies, random acts of vandalism – even blatant intimidation of judges and prosecutors.
Satan himself raging everywhere – fuming, breathing fire and brimstone – vowing revenge against all who had played a part in his eviction, who had thwarted him in any way – or else! This went on for years.
Then, he knocked on the door a 3rd time – declaring loudly that he would make the house a great mansion again – if we let him in – or else. We opened the door wide.
Searching Google for the original ‘The Devil Don’t knock Twice’ found this: Unearthed from the depths of the American South, [LOST TAPE #013 — “The Devil Don’t Knock Twice” by Jeremiah “Dust Bowl” Reed (1934)] captures the haunted soul of early Delta Blues. Recorded on fragile acetate in a dusty roadside chapel during the Great Depression, this lost field recording reveals the raw emotion, pain, and faith of a man who sang not for fame—but for survival. The cracked voice of Jeremiah “Dust Bowl” Reed echoes through time, blending gospel roots, delta slide guitar, and an atmosphere so authentic you can almost smell the rain on dry soil.
Woke up on a Monday, sun behind the ground Look out on the future, couldn’t tell a place of time Been chasing that dollar, brother, in a field of wooden yield Now the dust is my blanket and the highway is my field
[Chorus] Cuz the devil don’t knock twice, son You just walk right through your door Leave you standing in the ruin Wonder what you suffered for He don’t send no letter, don’t whistle no sweet tune The devil don’t knock twice He just come and take the moon
I had a good woman, pretty as a newborn day She stood by the fence post ’til the wind blowed away Had a house made of timber, a roof to keep me dry Then the bank man came calling with the death note in his eye
[Chorus] Cuz the devil don’t knock twice, son He just walk right through your door Leave you standing in a ruin Wondering what you suffer for He don’t send no letter, don’t whistle no sweet tune The devil don’t knock twice He just come and take the moon
I walked a thousand miles, man, just to keep my spirit whole Try to run from the bad luck that will stamp upon my soul But whether it’s the drought or the poor man’s power line The darkness is a shadow and it follows close behind I’m standing by this doorway, listening for a sound Just a grid on the wind, brother, blowing across the ground
I learned my lesson early, the hard way, cold and fast When the devil wants your life, he don’t need a second pass
[Chorus] Cuz the devil don’t knock twice He just walk right through your door Leave you standing in the ruins Wondering what you suffer for He don’t send no letter, don’t whistle no sweet tune The devil don’t knock twice He just come and take the moon…

While the eyes of the world are on Gaza, Israeli settlers in the West Bank still behave with impunity
As the harvest season begins, attacks on Palestinian farmers and their land are spiralling. The words of peace following the Gaza ceasefire ring hollow.
Last Monday, when the US president, Donald Trump, addressed the Knesset alongside the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, my compatriot lawmaker Ayman Odeh and I raised a banner calling them to “Recognise Palestine”. We were brutally expelled by force from the parliament’s plenum, revealing the fragile state of the supposed “only democracy in the Middle East”. How can Trump and Netanyahu speak of peace in the Middle East without recognition of the people deprived for decades of their basic liberties and rights under vicious occupation?
Nowhere is the deceit more clear than in the occupied West Bank. There, the words of peace are but a weak and distant voice, but the horrifying sounds of settler violence and terror still echo loudly. More than 30 occurrences of settler violence against Palestinians have been documented since the announcement of Trump’s 20-point plan at the end of September, including physical assaults, theft of agricultural produce and torching of vehicles and property.
The rise of settler terrorism is not coincidental. This period marks the start of the harvest seasons. More than a vital economic event, it is an important social and national moment that exhibits endurance under occupation. Precisely for these reasons, year after year settlers target Palestinians during this precious time. During the 2024 harvest period, Yesh Din (an Israeli human rights group that collects and disseminates information regarding violations of Palestinians’ human rights in the West Bank) documented 113 separate incidents of violence, harassment, harvest-thwarting or damage to olive trees and crops involving Israeli civilians and soldiers, which took place on lands belonging to 51 Palestinian villages, towns and communities.
Yesh Din also found that “Israeli security forces appeared to have played a greater role in obstructing the olive harvest”. In about 70% of forceful prevention of access to lands, soldiers, border police officers and settlement civilian security coordinators (CSCs) were actually present. They either personally prevented Palestinians from accessing and harvesting in their own lands, or failed to stop settlers who harassed or assaulted them.
This comes as no surprise, as the leader of the settlers’ political party, Bezalel Smotrich, was appointed as an additional minister in the Ministry of Defence in charge of the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT). In Umm al-Khair, for example, a special COGAT unit uprooted private olive trees of Palestinians, citing lack of permits, but ignored violations of an illegal nearby settler outpost. Last week, the Jerusalem district court ruled to halt all building work in the outpost, which was built on lands seized by Israel and unlawfully transferred to settlers.
In the occupied West Bank, settler terrorism is nothing but a tool by the government to pursue de-facto annexation. Earlier this month, Smotrich led a march of thousands of settlers in support of annexation of the West Bank. He was quoted as saying, “We are continuing to take hold with our feet of the Land of Israel with many pioneers, many heroes, and hundreds of thousands of settlers who live in this part of the land … we need to normalise it and make it eternal.”
The settlers and their supporters in the Knesset are clear on their motives and intentions. Why, then, do political leaders in the west refrain from meaningful sanctions and diplomatic measures? Smotrich was sanctioned by the UK in June, but the effect of the sanction has been minimal. He may not be able to travel to the UK and tour the West End, but he still enjoys the ministerial power to grab lands in the West Bank. Even in the announcement of sanctions, the UK highlighted they take place “in his personal capacity” solely.
If the UK government acknowledges the reality of settler violence and its grave implications on Palestinian life, why does it still allow settlement produce to be sold in markets and shops in Britain? If Starmer is serious about recognition of Palestine as a state, how come it allows the Israeli government to violate its sovereignty with such violent means? Or was the recognition an empty ploy to shut down dissenting voices in the UK, a hollow act only to be realised in the rebranding of some maps?
A just peace must respect the fundamental rights of the Palestinian people for self-recognition, sovereignty and liberty from military occupation and siege. Only when every human being’s dignity between the river and sea is respected can we truly say peace has been achieved.
True peace requires an independent Palestinian state alongside Israel: this is the sole formula that enjoys consensus among the international community, the Palestinian national movement and the Israeli peace camp.
Trump may have inflicted pressure on Netanyahu to halt the genocide, but he probably only did so because the burden of his relationship with the pariah regime of Netanyahu had become too great. The mass protests across the globe for the liberation of Palestine, and the unwavering anti-government demonstrations inside Israel, are the real forces behind this pressure.
It is thanks to this enormous civil movement that a ceasefire has been signed, the hostages released and the people of Gaza can enjoy safeguard from annihilation. After the ceasefire agreement has been signed, it is vital to keep applying this pressure. The world has turned a blind eye to the atrocities in Gaza for too long; it must not repeat the same mistake in the West Bank.
